ABSTRACT
Introduction @#Women’s age and reproduction system are always changed from many factors such as communicative and non- communicative diseases, pregnancy and menopause et cetera. Especially, the kinds of vaginal microflora and their proportions are changed too. In the world, the expansion of women’s vaginitis from bacteria was over 29.2% in 2021. For our country, 7486 as 6.9% vaginitis cases occurred within 10,000 people and 3683 as 26.3% cervical inflammation cases occurred by 2019. Vaginitis is asymptomatic for 50-75% of women. Sometimes it is not easy to diagnose vaginitis from bacteria because the fact that it doesn’t create a single type of bacteria. To diagnose vaginitis from bacteria in practice, Amsel’s criteria and Nugent testing methods are mostly used. The methods need much time, doctors’ skills and laboratory devices. It is a disadvantage of these methods. Thus, it needs to find a special method it meets people’s satisfaction, money-saving and more effective. @*Goal@#Comparative research on the traditional and automatic testing methods for vaginal secretion @*Materials and Methods@#We included 47 women in menopause age in analytic study design. All test of participants was tested with Nugent score and automatic analyzer. Data were analyzed using SPSS 25.0 version interpreted according to frequency distribution and percentage. A chi – square test and risk test was used to determine significant association wherever applicable with a p-value of less than 0.05 regarded as significant. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value of Automat analyzer were calculated, and each component of Automat analyzer was compared to the Nugent scoring system. </br>This study protocol was approved by the ethics committee of “Mongolian National University of Medical Sciences” university. @*Results@#Evaluating the vaginal discharge from participants in the research by Nugent score, 17% (8/47) of them had bacterial vaginitis, 34% (16/47) was uncertain or they needed to be tested again, 17% (9/47) was normal. But evaluating their test of vaginal discharge by GMD-S600 automatic analyzer, 17% (8/47) had Fungal vaginitis, 57,4% (27/47) had Bacterial vaginitis, 25,5% (12/47) lost their uterus acidic balance. Evaluating the reason of vaginitis with device test by Nugent test, it fits 17%. The test diagnoses it very effective in statistics. @*Conclusion@#Comparing traditional method to automatic analyzer testing method for vaginal secretion, the automatic analyzer method is more effective to diagnose and it has an advantage of detecting vaginal abnormality. Also, working unhealthy condition, smoking, making wash are the defends of having vaginitis.
ABSTRACT
Introduction@#Researchers have found that people living in polluted areas have a lower ability to resist skin bacteria and increase the number of skin microflora. Decreased immune function increases the risk of sore throat, influenza, respiratory infections, pneumonia and gastrointestinal diseases. One of the main indicators of the human immune system is the normal microflora.@*Goal@#To study the relationship between normal human microflora and specific immunity.@*Material and Methods@#This study was conducted within the framework of the project “Effects of non-specific immune factors on injectable infectious disease immune system”. The survey sampled 10 households from Dornod aimag, 8th khoroo of Chingeltei district, Ulaanbaatar city, and 3rd khoroo of Baganuur district. A total of 176 people aged 6 months to 50 years were involved. A total of 528 swab samples and 31 blood samples were collected from the throat, tonsils, skin and mucous membranes to study the relationship between normal human microflora and specific immunity.</br> The research methodology was discussed at the meeting of the Academic Council of the Ministry of Social Welfare and the Medical Ethics Review Committee under the Ministry of Health (January 5, 2018, Resolution 646) and the research was approved.@*Results@#The total number of normal microorganisms in the skin and mucous membranes of the study participants changed, and the number of hemolytic strains and fungi increased. 58%-67% of the participants had normal and long-term immunity against diphtheria and tetanus, while 5% -14% were not. This result was as high as in urban and rural areas.@*Conclusion@#This result was as high as in urban and rural areas. As the age group increases, the level of the body’s specific immunity decreases, the structure of the normal microflora changes, and the number of fungi and hemolytic bacteria increases. Furthermore, it is necessary to study specific and nonspecific immunity in detail in relation to environmental pollution indicators.
ABSTRACT
Introduction@#Vaccination is a cost-effective intervention to prevent major illnesses that contribute to child mortality in the country. Increase in parental knowledge abour vaccination will lead to increase in vaccination rates of children. The main aim of our study was to assess the knowledge, attitudes and perceptions of vaccination. People’s knowledge about immunization and their attitudes toward them are likely influence uptake.@*Goal@#The main purpose of the study is to evaluate the knowledge and attitude of the population towards measles and to clarify their satisfaction and understanding of the measles immunization program. @*Materials and Methods@#We conducted cross-sectional study, involved participants from 3 aimags and 6 districts covered voluntarily. Total participants were 509. We used to online model and with the participant’s self-answer closed questionnaire. @*Results@#76% of the respondents were female and 24% were male. 64.1% of respondents who have children of 0 to 5 years of age, had little or bad knowledge towards immunization schedules against measles. Overall, the general attitude towards vaccines was positive, but the knowledge about significance of vaccines was weak. Further, district and province family doctors need to pay particular attention to increasing awareness and knowledge on importance of vaccines among families with young children. It is necessary to conduct extensive, long-term research and training among population to evaluate their knowledge and attitude towards measles, its vaccine and prevention, and to identify causes of lack of knowledge.@*Conclusion@#Our study shows the importance of good physician–patient communication in improving knowledge attitude and practice of parents towards their children’s vaccination.
ABSTRACT
@#Most recent researches by our historians and archeologists showed that Traditional Mongolian Medicine has undergone 5000 years of historical development which contained all the features of nomadic medicine. Among this 5000 years, the Tibetan medicine particularly, some of the Tibetan doctors their books and sutras influenced a lot into our medical system. Darmo Menrampa Lobzang Chodrak was one of the Tibetan doctors who played important role in field of Mongolian Medicine.</br> In the course of the research, we have summarized data of over 10 sources and determined that the following books and sutras have been written in medicine without overlapping. From the many of the medical works of Dharmo maaramba wrote, medical sutra that was written in text during his time among Mongols, was found Inner Mongolian Autonomous Region of China, which indicates that he has had a profound impact on Mongolian medicine and the literature spread through Inner Mongolian Autonomous Region of China and Mongolia and is still being used in training, research and practice. In the ancient Tibetan books, the Dharmo maaramba was pronounced in Mongolian as «Darkhan Tengeryn Ezen,” «Otoch Khan» and «Dharmo Emch.”</br> His name was included in the list of teachers of Zaya Bandida Luvsanprinlei (1642-1708), which is undoubtedly the fact that Dharmo maaramba was his teacher.
ABSTRACT
@#BACKGROUND. In 1929, Mongolian mental health department established and since then it has been showing qualified professional health care towards population. In code of mental health (7.1.2) it is defined as “mental health care can be carried out by person with professional license that indicated in health law” However, recently people tend to seek help from nonprofessional organizations. Because of psychiatric misconception among population, people usually don’t seek help from professional service that it makes diagnostic delay and people suffer longer from their illness. GOAL. To define diagnoses and pathway of people who seek help first-time from mental health care. MATERIAL AND METHOD. This study was relied upon to NCMH out and inpatient unit. Cross-sectional study method with purposive sampling and questionnaire method wasused in this study. RESULT. In total of 145 patients, 76 males and 69 females, who are aged between 18 to 56 years participated in our study. According to ICD 10, majority of participants (40.7%, n=59) had schizophrenia and schizophrenia spectrum disorders, 21.4%had stress induced disorder, 12.4 % had organic disorder, 11% had affective disorder, and 14.5 % had substance use disorder.According to their help seeking pathway, every patient sought help from professional organization or several nonprofessional organizations and individual person. As we demonstrated the initial help seeking pathway of participants 40% sought help from religious service, 26.2% sought help from psychiatrist, 17.2% sought help from general and 16.6% sought help from other professional doctors. Therefore we demonstrated the amount of participants who sought help from nonprofessional organization and individual person that 60.6% sought help from shaman, 62% sought help from lama. Primary or secondary educated people are tend to seek help from religious service which was statistically significant (p≤0.006).in total of 107 participants sought help from nonprofessional organization and each patient spent about 5,629,122.30±928799 tugrug, but average of total medical fee for per patients in NCMH was 83916±7793 tugrug which costs 7 times lower than nonprofessional organization but improves patients` mental state more, significantly (p≤0.001) Primary or secondary educated patients likely to have diagnostic delay 1 time more than high educated patients, people with nonprofessional initial help seeking likely to have diagnostic delay 2 times more than psychiatric initial help seeking patients and people who imply that religion causes mental illness have diagnostic delay with 2 times more, significantly. (p≤0.001). CONCLUSION. According to study result stress induced disorder and schizophrenia were the majority of total participants. People tend to seek professional help far lately from symptom onset. Psychiatric misconception and inadequate health education among the population are the main reason of diagnostic delay.
