Understanding Incidence and Complexity of Obesity and Overweight in Adolescents | Chapter 13 | Recent Updates in Disease and Health Research Vol. 8

 

Introduction: During recent decades, an alarming increase in the proportion of young people experiencing these conditions has been observed, raising serious concerns about the consequences for the health and well-being of this growing population. The adverse effects of obesity and overweight in adolescence are vast and cover a wide range of physical and mental health problems. Overweight adolescents are at increased risk of developing chronic conditions such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease and musculoskeletal disorders, as well as facing psychosocial challenges such as stigma, low self-esteem and depression. Effective prevention and management of obesity and overweight during adolescence are crucial to reduce the negative impact on individual and collective health, as well as to reduce the social and economic costs associated with these conditions

Objective: to contribute to a better understanding of the complexity of obesity and overweight in adolescents, as well as to help in the development of effective and comprehensive approaches to preventing and controlling these conditions, aiming to promote the health and well-being of adolescents.

Methods: This study constitutes a systematic review, classified as exploratory and descriptive. The preparation of the research was a bibliographical search in electronic databases on methods associated with RSL (Systematic Literature Review) and the applications of SMARTER (Simple Multi-Attribute Rating Technique using Exploiting Rankings).

Results: A comprehensive systematic search of the literature yielded 4125 articles referring to the incidence of obesity and overweight in adolescents, of which 22 articles were eligible to be included in this systematic review. Early childhood adversity, whether emotional or physical, is linked to long-term negative effects on physical and mental health. Chronic stress resulting from these adversities can affect growth and well-being throughout life. The need for comprehensive educational programs on nutrition, involving schools, parents and health professionals, is highlighted in light of inadequate eating habits and decreased physical activity among adolescents.

Conclusion: The incidence of obesity and overweight in adolescents represents a significant public health challenge that requires urgent attention and coordinated action at multiple levels. By prioritizing nutrition education, promoting regular physical activity and access to healthy foods, we can not only reduce the incidence of obesity and overweight among adolescents but also improve their quality of life and overall well-being.

Epidemiological Landscape of Hematological Malignancies: Global Trends and Health Estimations | Chapter 11 | Current Progress in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 1

 This stage evaluate the labeling of the epidemiological patterns of HM in the Republic of Moldova and the evaluation of their global epidemiological currents and disease burden issues. Hematological malignancies (HM) are a community health problem. The pattern and distribution of recognized hematological cancers vary contingent upon age, sex, geography, and race suggesting the involvement of historical and environmental factors for the growth of these diseases.This is an epidemiological, practical, cross-sectional and big dossier analytics study. The disease was proved in all cases by histopathological, cytological, cytogenetic, microscopic and immunophenotyping examinations. The qualitative type researches were acted and enriched by the narrative combining of the data from the specific international bibliographic beginnings and official statistics concerning HM. The member summarized and systematized the basic studies, dedicated to the epidemiological landscape and worldwide disease burden of HM. In order to acquire the scheduled objectives, the experimental medical news were searched via  GoogleSearch, PubMed, Z-athenaeum, NCIB, Medscape, Hinari database, for one keywords: “hematological malignancies”, “chronic leukemias”, “malignant lymphomas”, “epidemiological patterns”, “occurrence”, “mortality”, “disadvantage-adjusted life-age”, “disease burden”, “COVID-19 contamination”, “management”. Forty-six relevant basic sources were labeled and selected, in accordance with the significance of the impact score under the scientific and reproducible approach to the disuted subject, accompanying the subsequent dossier extraction, evaluation and understanding. Intending to minimize the misprint, a copy of the data extraction covering was initially made, sharing all the elements expected extracted from the basic studies. The decrease of the incidence of HM in 2020 as compared to 2016 and 2017 maybe explained by labor community migration and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on inmates’ addressability. The average age of men was 54.7 age, of women – 57.9 age. In both gender groups, the subjects aged betwixt 50 and 79 years prevailed (men – 65%, females – 72.5%), incompletely fitting the category of a workable populace. The gender study of morbidity showed that the male's rate was 51.5%, the female's rate – 48.5% in 2019. Within 2 age males were 50.4%, women – 49.6%.  In the recent epidemiological context, the partnership of COVID-19 infection accompanying HM proved to be of experimental and practical interest, captured into account an apparently immunocompromised rank of patients accompanying lymphoproliferative and  myeloproliferative neoplasms.The epidemiological study found that the Republic of Moldova had a kind of lower HM morbidity than countries in West Europe, generally as a result of the movement of a workable population.  The inmates with never-ending leukemias and malignant lymphomas, male gender and age types of 50-79 years established the global epidemilological landscape. The narrative study of the literature has confirmed that patients with HM grant permission experience a big disease burden with negative affect their employment rank, working productivity, annual household salary and epidemiological susceptibility.

Cancer Scenario in India: A Brief Study | Chapter 16 | Emerging Trends in Disease and Health Research Vol. 3

 The goal of this study is to raise awareness among the government and the general public about the rising prevalence and danger of cancer.

In India, the incidence of cancer has increased dramatically during the last several decades. Cervix and Breast Cancer are the most common malignancies in women, whereas Head Neck and Lung Cancer are the most common cancers in men. The main cause of lack of awareness, which leads to presentation at an advanced or metastatic stage, is poverty and illiteracy. At any given time, there are a total of 2.25 million instances. The death rate is likewise extremely high. The country has a wide range of financial, religious, and demographic differences. In 1960, more than 80% of the people lived in rural areas, but currently just 60% do. Cancer has become more common as a result of urbanisation. Hinduism is practised by 80 percent of the people, whereas Islam is practised by 16 percent. Multiple marriages and high parity are typical among Muslims, resulting in a high risk of cervical cancer. Cancer is highly common in the country's North East area, owing to tobacco usage and home firewood burning. Due to a diet saturated in salt and spices, the incidence of stomach cancer is high in South India. Because of the widespread use of pesticides and a high-fat diet, the prevalence of cancers of the oesophagus, gallbladder, and breast is high in the Malwa region of Punjab. Because of the tobacco chewing habit, the incidence of oral cancer is particularly high in the states of UP, Bihar, and MP. Overcrowding has resulted in a scarcity of treatment facilities. Overcrowding has resulted in a scarcity of diagnostic and treatment facilities, which are also limited to urban regions. The biggest reason for late diagnosis and effective treatment is a lack of funds. Patient aid programmes have been established by the government, and the future looks bright.

Study about Tuberculous Lymphadenitis: Cases in children of Rural Area | Chapter 12 | Recent Developments in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 15

 Introduction: Tuberculosis is India's most serious public health crisis, with approximately 500,000 people dying from the disease each year. The vast majority of instances occur in rural and semi-urban areas, which account for more than 80% of the country's population.

The purpose of this study is to look at the occurrence of tuberculous lymphadenitis in children who have been diagnosed at a rural medical college.

Materials and Procedures: The research was carried out at the S.R.T.R. Medical College in Ambajogi. The study included all instances of tuberculosis detected in children under the age of 12. In one year, 417 cases of tuberculosis were diagnosed in the research. The cases were then separated into two categories: pulmonary tuberculosis and extrapulmonary tuberculosis. There were 50 incidences of tuberculous lymphadenitis among the extrapulmonary TB cases. Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology or Histopathology were used to diagnose the cases. Each case's clinical record was examined, which included age, sex, nutritional condition, family history of tuberculosis patient contact, and BCG vaccination status. All of the children underwent a Mantoux test. All of the youngsters underwent a thorough clinical evaluation, including lymph node examinations. All of the children had their chests X-rayed and their abdomens USGed. The results were entered into Microsoft Excel and displayed using tables and graphs as needed.

The incidence of tuberculous lymphadenitis was found to be 11.99 percent. The age range 7-9 years had the highest number of cases (44 percent). 1.17:1 is the male-to-female ratio. Multiple, matted, enlarged cervical nodes were the most prevalent presenting complaints, with 30 percent of individuals having a clear family history of pulmonary TB and 64 percent having undergone BCG vaccination.

Conclusion: The incidence of tubercular lymphadenitis was 11.99 percent of all tuberculosis cases reported in the research, with cervical lymph node involvement being the most common. Tubercular lymphadenitis can affect both BCG-vaccinated and non-vaccinated people in the family.

Root-knot Nematode Infections in Okra in the Middle Belt of Ghana | Chapter 6 | Innovations in Microbiology and Biotechnology Vol. 1

 Between August and December 2014, a survey was undertaken in six of Ghana's major okra-growing districts. Its goal was to figure out how common, how severe, and how common root-knot disease was in okra caused by root-knot worms. For the study, 54 solitary okra fields were chosen from 18 different locations. 25 representative plants were sampled in an N-shaped pattern on an acre okra farm and rated for the incidence and degree of knotting using a 0 to 10 rating scale. Seventy-six percent of the okra fields examined were found to be infected with root-knot nematodes. In the Kintampo North, Atebubu Amantin, Wenchi, Ejura Sekyedumase, Offinso North, and Atwima Nwabiagya Districts, root-knot nematodes infection prevalence was 78, 67, 89, 100, and 56 percent, respectively. Sentiatia in the Offinso North District had the greatest infection rate (95 percent), while Amponsakrom in the Wenchi District had the lowest (22 percent). Galling indices in the Districts varied from 5 to 8. The threat of root-knot nematodes infestation in okra was widespread throughout the research region. To enhance okra output in Ghana and abroad, crop protectionists must devise sustainable management practises and share them among okra farmers.

Assessment of the Incidence of Rotavirus Infection among Under-Five Children Attending Health Centres in Selected Communities of Ndola, Copperbelt Province, Zambia | Chapter 7 | Challenges in Disease and Health Research Vol. 6

 Rotavirus infection is a highly infectious public health concern among children under the age of five, characterized primarily by diarrhoea, vomiting, and fever spread via the oral-faecal route from contaminated water, food, and objects. Rotavirus infection is a public health concern because it is highly contagious but preventable. Diarrhoea is the third leading cause of death in Zambia among children under the age of five, accounting for approximately 9% of all deaths. According to data obtained from the Ndola District Health Management Office, despite high rotavirus vaccine coverage, diarrhoea incidence increased by 32.9/1000 between 2011 and 2015. When rotavirus enters the body, Through ingestion, it infects the stomach and intestinal tract (gastroenteritis), causing damage to the cells of the small intestine and making it difficult for the body to absorb water and nutrients. Currently, stool is not routinely tested for rotavirus infection, making it difficult to determine the incidence and effectiveness of the rotavirus vaccine (RotarixTM), a diarrhoea disease intervention that was implemented on November 27th, 2013. The purpose of this study is to determine the prevalence of rotavirus infection among children under the age of five who visit health centers in Ndola's selected communities. Purposive sampling was used to select 380 under-fives between the ages of 3 and 36 months who presented to health facilities with diarrhoea, vomiting, and fever. The Combi-Strip Rapid Diagnostic Test was used to test a stool specimen for rotavirus infection. The study was conducted from March 1st to September 28th, 2017 to determine relationships and associations among suspected variables using a cross-sectional analytic community-based study design. For data analysis, the Statistical Package for Social Science software was used. Pearson's Chisquare and logistic regression were among the tests used. The findings revealed an 11 percent incidence rate of rotavirus infection and a statistically significant association between severity categories of rotavirus infection and rotavirus vaccine uptake (p 0.001). Children who received two recommended doses of the vaccine (185 (59.5 percent) were more likely to have rotavirus infection in the mild category ( 7 scores). In conclusion, the results show that the rotavirus vaccine reduces the incidence, and if a child does get diarrhoea, it is less severe, which leads to better outcomes.

Incidence of Prostate Cancer at a Referral Centre in the Brong Ahafo Region of Ghana; A 10-Year Retrospective Study | Chapter 4 | Challenges in Disease and Health Research Vol. 6

 Prostate cancer is becoming increasingly common in Africa, particularly in the Sub-Saharan region. The high incidence rate in Ghana can be attributed to a lack of proper knowledge about prostate cancer and a variety of lifestyle choices. Understanding the dynamics of the disorder's occurrence is one approach to developing effective public health programs and interventions to help reduce the rising incidence. The purpose of this study was to fill a data gap in the Brong Ahafo Region of Ghana by assessing the incidence, patterns, and presentation of prostate cancer. We attempted to provide region-specific hardcore data that will aid in assessing the problem and providing solutions. From 2009 to 2018, all prostate disease cases were reviewed retrospectively. Subjects aged 40 and up were eligible for screening. At the study site, diagnostic and screening tools for prostate cancer include a family history, a serum prostate specific antigen (PSA) test, a digital rectal examination, a urological ultrasound scan, and histopathology (biopsy). Age, PSA levels, and the year of screening/diagnosis were also obtained from patient folders/archived reports for the study. The study's histological findings and parameters included diagnosis, carcinoma grading, perineural invasion (PNI), and percentage of affected tissues ( percent TA). There were 369 prostate cancer cases, accounting for 36.4 percent of the 1,014 prostate diseases studied. With 51 cases, 2014 had the highest annual prevalence (13.8 percent ). Patients' ages ranged from 46 to 101 years old, with a modal age range of 70 - 79 years and a mean SD of 72.2 9.8. The average PSA level measured was 37.1ng/ml (107.3), with a predominance in the 11 - 20.9 ng/ml range. Cancers of the 2nd and 3rd grades The majority of prostate cancers were caused by, accounting for 149 (40.4 percent ) of valid cases. The grade of prostate cancer and perineural invasion had a weak correlation (p = 0.091). Perineural invasion was found in 38.0 percent of graded cancer cases. The Brong Ahafo Region of Ghana has a high incidence of prostate cancer (32 per 100,000), with the majority of cases being advanced prostatic carcinoma. Reported cases also have a high percentage of TA (38.7 percent) and PNI (38.0 percent). To avoid progression to malignancy, early screening for prostate diseases should be encouraged, and public health interventions are required to address some of these issues.

Incidence and Factors Influencing the Outcome of Sigmoid Volvulus in Northern Uganda. A Prospective Observational Study | Chapter 2 | Highlights on Medicine and Medical Science Vol. 5

 Introduction: Sigmoid volvulus (SV) is one of the commonest causes of intestinal obstruction in Uganda. The purpose of this study was to determine the incidence and the factors influencing the outcome of management of SV in Northern Uganda Methodology: This study was divided into two parts. The purpose of the retrospective study was to determine the incidence over a two-year period. Patients 13 years and older with SV were included in the one-year prospective study to determine the factors influencing outcome and were followed up to the 30th postoperative day. The Gulu University IRB provided ethical approval. STATA/IC version 12.1 was used for data analysis. The end result was an uneventful recovery, morbidity, and mortality. In Northern Uganda, the incidence of SV was 251.8 per 100,000 surgical population in two years. Data from 103 patients were analyzed; 18 (17.48 percent) of them developed complications such as wound sepsis (10.7%), wound dehiscence (8.7%), and anastomotic leak (8.7%). (7.7 percent ). There were 8 deaths, for a 7.7 percent mortality rate. Hypernatraemia (RR=14.9; 95 percent CI: 1.46-152.9) and ileo-sigmoid knotting (RR = 4.94; 95 percent CI: 1.3018.78) were factors associated with a high risk of adverse outcome. When compared to Hartmann's procedure, resection and primary anastomosis had a better outcome (RR=0.15; 95 percent CI: 0.02- 0.099). In Northern Uganda, the incidence of SV was 251.8 per 100,000 surgical population in two years. Preoperative hypernatraemia and ileo-sigmoid knotting were risk factors for morbidity and mortality. Colostomy had a higher risk of morbidity and mortality than resection and primary anastomosis.

Incidence of Urinary Tract Infection among Pregnant Women Attending Antenatal Clinic at Federal Medical Centre, Bida, Niger-State, North Central Nigeria: A Retrospective Study | Chapter 7 | Challenges in Disease and Health Research Vol. 7

 The aim of this study was to use the gold standard of culture to establish the bacteriological aetiology and incidence of Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs), as well as antibacterial susceptibility trends, among pregnant women attending antenatal clinics at the Federal Medical Centre in Bida, Niger-State.

Data from pregnant women who attended regular antenatal clinics between January 2010 and December 2012 were collected from the Medical Microbiology Department Registry. Mid-stream urine samples were obtained from 1242 pregnant women aged 15 to 54 years old.

Pregnant women suspected of having UTIs had their samples taken in sterile disposable universal bottles at their first antenatal appointment. The data was coded, computed, and analyzed using SPSS version 16.0, with p values of 0.05 considered statistically important.

Our analysis showed that 46.1 percent of 1242 pregnant women between the ages of 15 and 54 in this sample had a UTI, which was statistically significant (p = 0.046, with a mean age of 30.92 years and a standard deviation of 5.46). Escherichia coli was the most common uropathogen (60 percent), followed by Staphylococcus aureus (28.3 percent ). Nitrofurantoin and Gentamycin were both prone to Escherichia coli (61.4 percent and 51.5 percent, respectively).

Conclusion: This study found that 46.1 percent of urinary tract infections were caused by uropathogens, which is cause for concern among the general public. As a result, antenatal clinics should screen pregnant women for symptomatic or asymptomatic UTIs on a regular basis.

Advanced Study on Geographical Distribution and Incidence of Cassava Bacterial Blight (Manihot esculenta Crantz) Caused by Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. manihotis in Two Agro-ecological Zones of Côte d'Ivoire | Chapter 12 | Cutting-edge Research in Agricultural Sciences Vol. 4

 Context and objective: In Côte d'Ivoire, manioc (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is the second largest food crop after yam. It is cultivated for its starch-rich fleshy roots and for its mineral-rich leaves (calcium, phosphorus and iron). This crop, however, is subject to various biotic limitations, one of the most formidable of which is the bacterial blight caused by Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. It's Manihotis. No concrete research on this emerging disease has been performed in Côte d'Ivoire to reduce its effects on the yield of traditional and improved varieties of tuberous roots. The goal of this research is, on the one hand, to study the distribution of bacterial blight and, on the other hand, to evaluate the sensitivity of 8 varieties in two agro-ecological zones of Côte d'Ivoire through an epidemiological study.

Materials and Methods: Survey missions conducted in 2013 and 2014 helped to create a health map of the different cassava production zones, accompanied by an epidemiological analysis of the disease in two cassava production zones (Yamoussoukro and Ferkéssédougou) involving eight cassava varieties, of which four have been improved.
Results: The results showed that bacterial blight with an incidence ranging from 2.17-66.67 percent was observed in all agro-ecological zones . As for the epidemiological research, the two areas of study showed a contrast. In the dry season (December-March), the incidence of the disease was very mild, corresponding to the 7th to 10th months of this report. In addition, the rainy season led to the disease's extension. The most susceptible to the disease were Diarrassouba and Yacé (traditional varieties), and Bocou 1 (improved variety).
Conclusion: the local Akama and Dankwa varieties were less tolerant of the disease than the better Bocou variety 1. During the rainy season, the most serious bacterial attack occurred and resulted in mortality among the most susceptible varieties. The data suggest an interest in the use of conventional varieties of Akama and Dankwa and improved varieties of Yavo, Bocou 2 and Bocou 3 in the high-pressure areas of cassava bacterial blight. Before it spreads to all cassava cultivation zones in Côte d'Ivoire, a war against this disease must be envisaged.

Management of Insect-pests Population in Black Gram with Novel Insecticides and Their Natural Enemies | Chapter 12 | Cutting-edge Research in Agricultural Sciences Vol. 3

 A field experiment was performed on Black Gram variety T-9 at Entomology Instructional Farm, JNKVV-College of Agriculture, Rewa (M.P.) during Kharif. In the 2nd week of August, the initiation of white fly infestation was reported and reached a peak level of 10.84 per five leaves in the 2nd week of September when the temperature ranged from 20.6-29.9 ° C & 70-99 percent RH. Correlation coefficient values for white fly occurrence and weather parameters showed that, apart from minimum temperature, maximum and minimum relative humidity had a positive correlation, but maximum temperature and rainfall had a negative correlation with the population of white flies. While the first appearance of the Bihar hairy caterpillar was recorded in the 4th week of August and reached a peak level of 10.44 larvae / mrl in the 4th week of October when the temperature ranged from 15.1-30.7 ° C & 62-96 percent relative humidity. Correlation coefficient values for the incidence and weather parameters of the Bihar hairy caterpillar showed that the maximum The temperature had a positive association and the Bihar hairy caterpillar population had a negative effect on minimum temperature, maximum & minimum relative humidity in addition to rainfall. Test the effectiveness of new insecticide molecules, i.e. Flubendiamide 39.35 percent SC, Indoxacarb 15.8 percent EC, Thiomethoxam 25 percent WG, Triazophos 40 percent EC, Monocrotophos 36 percent SL, Thiacloprid 21.7 percent SC, Chlorantraniliprole 18.5 percent SC and Quinalphos 25 percent EC and the Bihar Hairy Caterpillar, Spilosoma obliqua Walker and White fly, Bemisia tabaci Gennadius untreated control map. Thiacloprid 21.7% SC was considered most powerful against white fly followed by white fly followed by Thiomethoxam 25% WG was found to be most effective against Bihar Hairy Caterpillar, while Chlorantraniliprole 18.5% SC was found most effective. In a plot treated with Chlorantraniliprole 20 g a.i., the highest yield of 1012,3 kg / ha was reported. /ha.-Ha. Natural enemies were reported during the seedling to podding stage of the crop during the Kharif season from the black gramme cultivars, indicating the incidence of eight species of insect pests and six species of natural enemies were observed on the crop under the agro-climatic condition of the region of Vindhaya.
