Effect of Pre-exposure Prophylaxis to Reduce the Chances of Human Immuno-Deficiency Virus Infection among the Key Populations | Chapter 1 | Disease and Health Research: New Insights Vol. 3

 

The key populations (KPs) such as female sex workers (FSWs), transgender communities (TGs), persons who inject drugs (PWID), men who have sex with men (MSM), heterosexual groups (HGs) are easily vulnerable to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infections. The use of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) could reduce the chances of HIV infections in the KPs. PrEP can be used as an HIV prevention tool to reduce the infections in HIV burden countries of the world. Awareness and expression of willingness to use PrEP is an additional HIV prevention and works like a complement tool for KPs who are unable to use condoms consistently. PrEP could be used as a main tool in HIV testing and services among the KPs in the Integrated Counselling and Testing Centre (ICTC) and Antiretroviral Therapy (ART) centre. The main determining factors for the use of PrEP are awareness, availability, accessibility, and affordability among the KPs. The most challenging issues such as the burden of stigma and discrimination, noncommunity-friendly therapy dispensing areas and interrupted supply of therapies were identified as key barriers to continuing PrEP. The introduction and recommendation of PrEP into various programs, stakeholders and policymakers could impact HIV prevention among the KPs. However, the use of PrEP as a tool among the KPs is very needful to reduce the burden of new HIV infections.

Judo as a Work of Art: Exploring Aesthetic Dimensions in Sport | Chapter 4 | New Ideas Concerning Arts and Social Studies Vol. 1

Judo, according to the translation of the meaning of the Japanese language "gentle way", "gentle means", or "The Way of softness and flexibility.

In this study, an argument was introduced that the first principles inherent in art, that is its formal components such as line, colour, composition and so on can be viewed as mechanisms enabling a deeper aesthetic appreciation of sport. In this particular case the sport looked at is judo.

One could claim that in art the extrinsic aim is to create a work, a particular body, as it were whereas in sport this is not the explicit aim. Furthermore, art is neither agonistic nor pragmatic in the way sport is, where the intrinsic aim is not merely the work or performance itself but the tallying of points in a clearly defined manner toward victory.

If this thesis is correct, it implies an interdisciplinary field of study traversing art and sport, the humanities and the sciences and overturns the old Cartesian dualism in favor of a more integrated embodied experience.

Specific Acupuncture Improved the Implantation Rates of Assisted Reproduction Technology | Chapter 7 | New Advances in Medicine and Medical Science Vol. 3

 In the record of reproductive cure, fertilization rate in in-vitro breeding (IVF) increased through intracytoplasmic sperm dose (ICSI), and pregnancy rate in method of inducing pregnancy with husband’s semen (AIH) is advocated to increase through the semen energy index (SEI). However, no situation exists to increase information that is designed to mislead or persuade rate in assisted reproduction science (ART). One group of 35 subjects suffered 3 or more acupuncture sessions at this Hospital from January 2016 to March 2017 to correct the pregnancy rate of 50 phases of single blastocyst transfer.Acupuncture was acted and embryos were transferred utilizing the same technique. The unchanging acupuncture treatment, in the way that that in as current study, ameliorates symptoms of pre-menstrual condition. Acupuncture was performed by only drawing the portion protruded from the guide hose at fixed points, so the situation can be performed in a short amount momentary. Very thin needles are introduced slightly outside inducing annoying sensation, so skilled is no pain during insert and patients are more amenable to the situation. Over 50 transfer cycles, cases had a biochemical pregnancy rate per transfer era of 62.0% and a clinical gestation rate of 52.0%. A biochemical pregnancy rate per transfer phase increased 1.35 opportunities and a clinical pregnancy rate raised 1.42 times by current acupuncture. Results submitted that slight insertion through only opening of acupuncture needles at established points markedly upgraded the pregnancy rate of in-vitro breeding. A combination of specific acupuncture and SEI will influence reproductive cure in the near future.

Study on Aesthetics, Art and Sport: A Perspective towards “Argument from Intertwining” | Chapter 8 | Selected Topics in Humanities and Social Sciences Vol. 1

 Significant Enlightenment philosophers in aesthetics, such as Schopenhauer and Hegel, form the foundation of many of our aesthetic ideas. After briefly unpacking their ideas in this regard, I argue that such philosophers are unable to deal with non-mimetic art, such as abstract painting, and that their views on aesthetics only apply to a subset of the visual arts. In this case, I propose an alternative aesthetics that takes into account artistic advances. Specifically, a metaphorical view of art. Another way to perceive the metaphorical play of images and/or words is to recognize the distinction that analytical philosophers make between various meanings of the word "is," as in mimetic resemblance. This aesthetics conception appears to argue for the pervasiveness of aesthetic experience, undermining the said philosophers' hierarchical framework. elevation of the arts above ordinary experience This invites a different aesthetic, in which sport can be regarded as a type of art. In this regard, the role of metaphor, both positively and negatively devolving from the post-modern "language turn," leads to a holistic conception of experience, whether classified as art or sport, and this is argued for as the so-called "argument from intertwining."

The Active Role of Art Therapy in the Patient Community and the Effect of This Component on the External Body and Internal Spaces in Medical Centers | Chapter 10 | Current Approaches in Science and Technology Research Vol. 1

 The use of art for healing is not a new phenomena, and the subject of art in healing has been discussed throughout human history for thousands of years. "For several centuries BC, artistic elements in the form of paintings and theater were used in the first civilizations to decrease fear and anxiety, build power and strength, and impart information." Other thinkers, such as Aristotle, have utilized Poetry and theater are good for the soul's health and cleansing. Painting, theatre, and music are still employed in creative art therapy to treat all diseases and people of all ages, from children to the elderly. As a result, the impact of art on human existence has been investigated from an architectural standpoint in medical center design. The tight, chilly, and lifeless forms of health centers, as well as their lack of accessibility, have always been human worries in the area of healthcare. The mental condition of patients has become increasingly important as a result of admission to these institutions and the increase of stressors generated by sickness and therapy. Medication is divided into two categories: physical and mental. It has been a fundamental aspect of human life since ancient times.

The first dimension influenced people's physical improvement, whereas the second factor influenced people's readiness to cope with the treatment procedure. Every medical institution was made up of separate but linked parts that came together to form the two components. With the increasing importance of this issue, the shape of these buildings and their access were the main issues discussed in these centers, so that patients could be treated in a simple and quick manner, in a more comfortable setting, with the least amount of time spent, and away from any type of environmental stress imposing in this complex.

Finally, several investigations and scientific discoveries have proven that the more physical and mental environmental constraints are lessened, the greater the psychological benefits. If the dimensions of patients are analyzed, patients will improve more quickly. This study also looked at how these elements interact with art and art therapy, as well as their effects on one another. The study's original principles included physical studies, data collection, and data interpretation and analysis. The field approach and content analysis were used in two portions of this qualitative-quantitative study, with qualitative investigations and a survey study in the qualitative studies and analysis section. All written and spoken references are examined in this section.

Role of Anti-Mullerian Hormone as a Predictor of Ovarian Function in Assisted Reproductive Techniques: An Advance Study | Chapter 8 | Challenges in Disease and Health Research Vol. 8

 It is important to forecast the ovarian reserve and the performance of the ART cycle in order to prepare treatment schedules, prevent OHSS and advise the couple. The objective of this study is to confirm the exactness of AMH as a predictor of a woman's potential fertility. The retrospective study uses the same protocols and procedures to assess the efficiency of multiple IVF/ICSI cycles for 100 women in an infertility centre. In 20 persons the level of AMH was high, in 23 females the average was low and in 57 women it was high. A good ovarian response occurred in all women with an AMH; with the exception of one, all women with an AMH were good ovarian; with a low AMH, all women had a poor response. 128 IVF/ICSI cycles on 100 women were carried out, 184 on fresh and cryopreserved embryos were carried out on embryo transfers, 49 female embryos were clinically pregnant. There were 39 clinical pregnancies in 76 ART cycles in 57 women with normal AMH; in 20 women with high AMH, there were 44 embryo transfers, 9 with clinical pregnancy; in 28 ART cycles in 23 women with low AMH, 17 with embryonic transfers, only one became pregnant. in 24 ART cycles, only one of the 23 women was pregnant. AMH can be used as an ovary reaction and hyperstimulation marker for women with PCOS and a protocol of stimulation can be modified to prevent OHSS.

Focus on Getting Pregnant after Infertility Management without Assisted Reproductive Technology in a Low-Income Setting | Chapter 12 | Research Trends and Challenges in Medical Science Vol.5

 

This chapter has been aimed to highlight the determinants of conception without Assisted
Reproductive technology (ART) in a low-income area. The current study concerned 2958 patients who sought care for infertility in the University Clinic of Kinshasa et the Centre Medical Edith, from January 2003 to December 2013. For them, any technique of ART was used. After treatment, 249 (9%) patients conceived (clinical pregnancy). Most of the patients who conceived were less than 36 years, without history of illegal abortions who suffered from genital infections. The treatments closely associated with conception were antibiotics (73%), hydrotubation (12%) ovulation inductors (11%) and gynecologic surgery (4%). In that setting, ART is a must. Very few infertility problems, apart from infection and itsconsequences, can get solution.
