ABSTRACT

Background: Although there has been growing awareness on the need for professional assistance at delivery, and this has improved health-seeking behavior and the use of antenatal care (ANC) of pregnant women, presenting for ANC does not directly imply that a woman would use a skilled birth attendant (SBA) at delivery. This study analyzed the trend in the use of SBAs at delivery among Nigerian reproductive women from 2007 to 2017. Materials and Methods: The study used the United Nations Children’s Fund, Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys data for the years 2007 (n = 1021), 2011 (n = 2927), and 2016/2017 (n = 4155). Multivariate logistic regression was used to determine the relationship between the use of SBAs and demographic characteristics of women aged 15–49 years in Nigeria. Results: There was a significant decline in the utilization of SBAs at delivery from 82.7% in 2007 to 71.8% in 2016/2017 (P < 0.001). There was a decline in the proportion of doctors and nurses/midwives as birth attendants from 28.3% and 54.4% in 2007 to 22.8% and 49.0% in 2016/2017, respectively (P < 0.001), whereas the use of traditional birth attendants increased from 5.2% to 8.0% during the periods (P = 0.003). Urban residence [adjusted odds ratio (AOR)=1.32, 95% confidence interval (CI)=1.18–1.47, P < 0.01], higher maternal age (AOR=1.49, 95% CI=1.30–1.70; P < 0.01), and education attainment (AOR=3.78, 95% CI=3.39–4.22; P < 0.001) were associated with higher odds of the utilization of SBAs. Conclusion: There is a need for intervention programs for women in rural areas and women with a low level of education and lower maternal age. This will further reduce the maternal mortality ratios of the country.

ABSTRACT

La radioterapia es un tratamiento útil en algunas neoplasias de los órganos pelvianos, sin embargo, su uso no está exento de riesgos. Analizamos las diversas alternativas terapéuticas en las lesiones ureterales, en la cistitis actínica hemorrágica y en las fístulas urinarias secundarias a tratamientos radiantes. Discutimos nuestros resultados, destacándose como principal dificultad la presencia de actividad tumoral. Finalmente enunciamos algunos principios básicos de la radioterapia y hacemos énfasis en las modernas técnicas de irradiación, las cuales son más efectivas, con menos lesiones secundarias

ABSTRACT

Se analizaron 2.500 esofagogastroduodenoscopias de nuestra Institucion separando todos los casos de erosiones duodenales.Las conclusiones mas importantes se refieren a dos hechos en relacion a la existencia de EDP con respecto a las EGD.En las EDP predomino francamente la sintomatologia, fundamentalmente sindrome ulceroso (dolor epigastrico), tipico o atipico (P < 0,01). A su vez las EGD tuvieron una clara predominancia de sangrado sobre las EDP (P < 0,01), sugiriendo que las EDP deben considerarse una entidad nosologica distinta a las EGD. Los antecedentes ulcerogenos (drogas, stress, alcohol, etc), fueron francamente positivos en ambos grupos cuando hubo sangrado, mientras que existieron en muy bajo porcentaje en los casos sin hemorragia, sugiriendo que su presencia es importante en la produccion del sangrado, pero no en la formacion de las erosiones en si
