Pattern of Self-poisoning | Chapter 8 | Recent Trends in Arts and Social Studies Vol. 1

 The green coup in India during 1960 not only remodelled the whole land system but stylish also came the poison & pesticide that are injurious to human fitness. The objective of this study search out describe the pattern of contaminate in Visakhapatnam and its mathematical correlates. This backward-looking study was conducted in all pollute cases admitted in Casualty area of Anil Neerukonda Hospital, Visakhapatnam and carried out all the while the period of 1st Jan 2014 to 31st Dec 2017. In our study it was noticed that majority (47.37%) of the cases were between the ages of 20-29 age with slight preponderance towards female (52.63%) as distinguished to male (47.37%). The majority of the cases (94.74%) belonged to the lower socioeconomic class. The most ordinary location of incident was within delegation of representatives (85.97%), and it was mostly noticed during the cold season. The most commonly addictive drug was aluminum phosphide (21.05%), followed by organophosphate compounds (14.04%). In conclusion it maybe stated that the administration should take lawmaking steps to curb down the menace of poison in the hands of the sensitive people in the association primarily fixating on developing the poisons accompanying less toxicity or non-toxic to humans.

Contraceptive Choices of Women in a Family Planning Clinic of a Tertiary Hospital in Niger Delta, Nigeria | Chapter 7 | Recent Developments in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 13

 Background: Contraception is essential for preventing unplanned pregnancies, lowering mother and child mortality, and enhancing women's and families' lives.

Aim and Objective: During the study period, determine the pattern of contraceptive use, contraceptive uptake rates, trend of acceptance, socio-demographic features, and sources of contraceptive information at the Rivers State University Teaching Hospital.

Methods: This was a ten-year retrospective study of client records at the Rivers State University Teaching Hospital's (RSUTH) family planning clinic. Using IBM's statistical programme for social sciences (SPSS) version 25.0, their records were retrieved, examined, and data collected, processed, and analysed (Armonk, NY).

Between January 1, 2008, and December 31, 2017, there were 1893 contraceptive acceptors at the centre's family planning clinic. There was a declining trend in contraceptive uptake throughout the study period. Over half of the customers (60.7%) were between the ages of 30 and 39, with only six (0.3%) under the age of 20. The study's participants ranged in age from 19 to 51 years old. The majority of users (66.1%) were multipara, with 22 (1.2%) being nullipara. Para 3 was modal parity. The number of women with a formal education was 1862. (98.4 percent ). The majority of the clients were married (1814, 95.8%) and Christian (1813). (95.7 percent ). The intrauterine contraceptive device (IUCD) was the most used form of contraception (814). (43 percent ). The most prevalent source of information was clinical personnel, who accounted for 1425 of the total (75.3 percent ).

Conclusion: There was a declining trend in contraceptive use during the research period. The majority of the clientele were in their thirties, married, educated, and had many children. IUCD was the most used type of contraception.

A Detailed Study: Does the Luangwa Hippo Population Size and Density Distribution Vary between Upper and Lower Study Blocks? What Are the Management Implications of Such Distribution Pattern? | Chapter 3 | International Research in Environment, Geography and Earth Science Vol. 9

 The distribution of the common hippopotamus was studied along a 165-kilometer stretch of the Luangwa River in eastern Zambia. Population growth and decline cause oscillations that have persisted for the last 40 years (1976-2015). The research area was divided into upper (A-D) and lower (E-H) study blocks. Between 1976 and 2015, population data revealed a significant difference in the pattern of density distribution between upper and lower study blocks. Upper blocks had a higher density of 41/km than lower blocks, which had a density of 29/km. The length of the study blocks and mortality were discounted because density was used to determine the distribution pattern and mortality was applied to both river segments and was insignificant. These findings suggest that higher hippopotamus density was associated with higher primary production in each study block as influenced by river geomorphologic features such as river bends and confluences. The current study also discovered that hippopotamus pasture was primarily limited to the alluvial belt, which contained vast grasslands in some places, such as the Nsefu Plains in the upper river segment. Additional research is needed to look into other factors that may have interacted with food (above ground grass biomass) and river meander features to separate upper and lower blocks.

Discussion on a 5 Year Retrospective Study of Pattern of Maternal Mortality in a Tertiary Care Hospital in South India| Chapter 12 | Current Topics in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 10

 Introduction: One of the most challenging public health issues in India remains maternal mortality. One mother dies every minute because of complications related to pregnancy and child birth. In developing countries, women are 30 to 40 times more likely to die as a result of pregnancy and childbirth than their counterparts in developed countries. Even today India accounts for 20 per cent of global maternal deaths. In India, the total maternal deaths are around 63,000 per year, approximating one death per minute.

Materials and Methods: A retrospective study of 78 cases of maternal mortality in tertiary care hospitals over a 5-year period from January 2007 to January 2012 was analyzed, with specific focus on parity, cause of death and admission interval. Results: Hemorrhage was 26.92 percent of the leading cause of maternal death, followed by 23.08 percent of sepsis . Pre-eclampsia accounted for 20.51% of maternal deaths. Anemia accounted for 17.95 percent of the deaths. The age group in which most maternal deaths occurred (74.36 percent) was 21-30 years of age. When comparing women's parity, it was seen that most maternal deaths accounted for more than half of maternal deaths in multi-para (56.41 percent). Most women (62.5 percent) died within 24 hours of admission, followed by several women dying 12.5 percent in the next 24-48 hours.

Conclusion: In India, the rate of maternal mortality at referral hospitals is very high. The precise estimate of maternal mortality is primarily based on a sound system of vital registration and proper reporting of maternal death. The precise estimate of maternal mortality is primarily based on a sound system of vital registration and proper reporting of maternal death. 3Ds are the solutions to the problems: delay in diagnosis, urgent care and decision to move, delay in transport to enter the right hospital and delay in treatment. Most of the deaths in our sample were prevented if adequate antenatal treatment, early detection, prompt intervention, and early referral with well-equipped transport facilities were reported and obtained.

The Tooth Occlusion Pattern among the Emai People in Edo State, Nigeria | Chapter 9 | Emerging Issues in Science and Technology Vol. 4

Introduction: The aspiration of this academic work was to determine the tooth occlusion pattern among the Emai People in Edo State, Nigeria. Materials and Methods: This scrutiny arrogated a descriptive cross-sectional survey method and intricated the use of data form and direct observation. The scrutinization involved 290 subjects and multistage sampling. Tooth occlusion pattern were categorized following the fourfold models. Participants were regarded as owning any of these: Edge to edge bite, mild overbite, severe overbite and negative overbite. Data were elaborated with the use of the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences, version 18. Inferential statistics involved the use of chi-square test, and P-value < 0.05 was termed significant. Results: The frequency of mild overbite was seen as the highest (male = 21.02%, female = 29.30%) which was followed by edge to edge bite (male = 20.34%, female = 23.10%). Severe overbite was observed more in females and negative overbite was observed more in males (P > 0.05). Conclusion: The tooth occlusion pattern of the the Emai People in Edo State, Nigeria has been elucidated.
