ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Transfusion-transmissible hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a major problem worldwide. Recently, confirmatory nucleic acid tests (NATs) for HBV DNA have been employed in several countries. We assessed the prevalence and yearly trends of HBV infection in blood donors in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia, screening for HBV surface antigen (HBsAg), antibody against HBV core antigen (anti-HBc), and HBV DNA. METHODS: Between 2011 and 2015, a total of 22,842 donors were screenedfor HBsAg, anti-HBc, and HBV DNA using the HBsAg Qualitative II kit (Abbott, Ireland Diagnostics Division, Sligo, Ireland), ARCHITECT Anti-hepatitis B core antigen antibody (HBc) II Assay kit (Abbott GmbH & Co. KG, Wiesbaden, Germany), and NAT Procleix Ultrio Elite Assay kit (Grifols Diagnostic Solutions Inc., Los Angeles, CA, USA), respectively. RESULTS: A total of 739 (3.24%) donors were HbsAg(+), anti-HBc(+), or HBV DNA(+); 63 (0.28%) were HbsAg(+), anti-HBc(+), and HBV DNA(+). Twelve (0.05%) were anti-HBc(+) and HBV DNA(+) but HBsAg(−); they were considered to have occult infection. Further, 664 (2.91%) were HBsAg(−) but anti-HBc(+), indicating chronic or resolving infection. HBV prevalence increased significantly from 2011 to 2012, increased marginally till 2013, and showed a decreasing trend from 2013 (P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS: The five-year prevalence of HBV infection among blood donors in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia (3.24%) is lower than that reported for other regions in the country. The occult HBV infection rate of 0.05% emphasizes the importance of NATs in isolating potential infectious blood units.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: University influences psychosocial and cognitive development of students, shaping their overview about professional career. Extracurricular activities (EAs) represent a complementary training in university context, which can enhance critical and technical skills. OBJECTIVE: Describe the profile of extracurricular activities developed in two different colleges: Universidade do Estado do Pará (UEPA), in northern Brazil, and Waterford Institute of Technology (WIT), in Southeast Ireland, in the period from March to May 2015. METHODS: This study is characterized as descriptive, cross-sectional, observational, with a sample of 452 academics from 5 courses: Medicine, Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy in UEPA (n=306) and Health Promotion and Exercise and Health Studies at WIT (n=146). Data collection was conducted through self-administered questionnaires. RESULTS: Most of students have performed extracurricular activities (80%), with greater female participation (60%). Students also believe that EAs contribute to their training (87%), and have satisfied their initial motivations (97%). The most performed activities are academic leagues, internships and scientific research in UEPA and extension activities (volunteering) and athletic associations in WIT. CONCLUSION: This study demonstrated that the extracurricular activities most frequently performed by undergraduates from Universidade do Estado do Pará are professional internships, academic leagues and research. However, undergraduates' participation in volunteering and athletic associations predominates in Waterford Institute of Technology. Such divergences reflect social, cultural and economic issues of the respective societies, and may have an impact on professional profile.


INTRODUÇÃO: A universidade influencia o desenvolvimento psicossocial e cognitivo dos estudantes, moldando sua visão geral acerca da carreira profissional. As atividades extracurriculares (AEs) representam formação complementar no contexto universitário, aprimorando habilidades críticas e técnicas. OBJETIVO: Descrever o perfil das atividades extracurriculares desenvolvidas em duas diferentes universidades: Universidade do Estado do Pará (UEPA), no norte do Brasil, e o Waterford Institute of Technology (WIT), no sudeste da Irlanda, no período de Março a Maio de 2015. MÉTODO: O estudo caracteriza-se como descritivo, transversal e observacional, com casuística de 452 universitários de 5 cursos: Medicina, Fisioterapia, Terapia Ocupacional na UEPA (n=306), Promoção de Saúde e Estudos de Saúde, Exercício no WIT (n=146). Os dados foram coletados por meio de questionário autoaplicável. RESULTADOS: Os resultados mostraram que a maioria dos estudantes desenvolvia atividades extracurriculares (80%), com maior participação feminina (60%). Os estudantes acreditam que as AEs contribuem para sua formação (87%) e tiveram suas motivações iniciais satisfeitas (97%). Entre as atividades mais desenvolvidas estão ligas acadêmicas, estágios e pesquisa científica na UEPA e voluntariado e associações atléticas no WIT. CONCLUSÃO: Este estudo demonstrou que as atividades extracurriculares mais frequentemente desenvolvidas pelos graduandos da Universidade do Estado do Pará são estágios profissionais, ligas acadêmicas e pesquisa, enquanto entre os graduandos do Waterford Institute of Technology predominam a participação em voluntariado e associações atléticas. Tais divergências refletem questões de ordem social, cultural e econômicas das respectivas sociedades, podendo ter impacto no perfil de profissional formado.

ABSTRACT

Resumen:


Objetivo: estudio exploratorio-descriptivo que tuvo como objetivo conocer las percepciones de las enfermeras sobre la lactancia practicada por las internas, con la profundización de los factores que influyen en la práctica y el apoyo disponible a personas reclusas y la actitud de los profesionales sobre la lactancia materna.


Método: la encuesta se realizó en la prisión femenina de Dóchas Centre, en julio de 2014, en la que se entrevistó a seis profesionales, cuyos discursos se analizaron temáticamente. Resultados: las presas indican que salen de la maternidad y llegan a la cárcel sin haber amamantado a sus hijos, lo que parece ser un reflejo de la situación de la lactancia actual en la sociedad irlandesa. Conclusiones: aunque hay disponible una Unidad Materno-infantil y un equipo de salud, la lactancia materna no es una práctica habitual en el centro estudiado.


Abstract:


Purpose: An exploratory, descriptive study aimed at knowing the perceptions of nurses on breastfeeding by imprisoned women, and to perform a deep analysis of factors influencing practical issues and support for imprisoned women and the attitudes of health workers on breastfeeding. Methods: The survey was carried out in a women jail at Dóchas Centre, in July 2014. Six health workers were interviewed and their answers were thematically analyzed. Results: Imprisoned women reported they went to prison after maternity with no breastfeeding being performed, which seems to reflect present status of breastfeeding in Irish society. Conclusions: Although a Maternal and Child Unit and a health team are available, breastfeeding is not a usual practice in the facilities.


Objetivo: trata-se de um estudo exploratório-descritivo que buscou conhecer as percepções de enfermeiras acerca da amamentação praticadas por detentas, com aprofundamento em fatores que influenciam essa prática, bem como no suporte disponível às presas e atitude das profissionais em relação ao aleitamento materno.


Método: a pesquisa foi realizada na penitenciária feminina Dóchas Centre (Irlanda) no mês de Julho de 2014, em que seis profissionais foram entrevistadas, cujos discursos nos permitiu alcançar dois temas: (1) Amamentação como prática não-popular: os "porquês" atrelados às diversas questões sociais e (2) o desafio da prática assistencial no contexto da invisibilidade da amamentação. Resultados: as participantes iluminam que as reeducandas deixam a maternidade e chegam à penitenciária sem nunca ter amamentado seus filhos. Conclusão: Ainda que disponível uma Unidade Materno Infantil e equipe de saúde, o aleitamento materno ainda não é uma prática costumeira no estabelecimento estudado.

ABSTRACT

The aim of this study is to learn more about the physical activity habits of participants in a popular sporting event such as European Sports Day, which is held simultaneously in five European countries (Spain, Italy, Cyprus, Ireland, and Hungary), and to measure the influence of socio-demographic variables on these habits. This is a cross-sectional study conducted with a sample of 856 participants, stratified by gender, age, and nationality. We statistically analyzed five variables related to physical activity habits: frequency of physical activity practice, places of practice, motives of practice, perceived fitness level, and popular event attendance. Of the participants, 76.8% said they perform physical activity weekly. Fitness/health improvement (34.63%) and entertainment/leisure (26.52%) are the main reasons for the practice of physical activity. Age and nationality are differentiating factors on physical activity habits...

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To measure Irish opinion on a range of assisted human reproduction (AHR) treatments. METHODS: A nationally representative sample of Irish adults (n=1,003) were anonymously sampled by telephone survey. RESULTS: Most participants (77%) agreed that any fertility services offered internationally should also be available in Ireland, although only a small minority of the general Irish population had personal familiarity with AHR or infertility. This sample finds substantial agreement (63%) that the Government of Ireland should introduce legislation covering AHR. The range of support for gamete donation in Ireland ranged from 53% to 83%, depending on how donor privacy and disclosure policies are presented. For example, donation where the donor agrees to be contacted by the child born following donation, and anonymous donation where donor privacy is completely protected by law were supported by 68% and 66%, respectively. The least popular (53%) donor gamete treatment type appeared to be donation where the donor consents to be involved in the future life of any child born as a result of donor fertility treatment. Respondents in social class ABC1 (58%), age 18 to 24 (62%), age 25 to 34 (60%), or without children (61%) were more likely to favour this donor treatment policy in our sample. CONCLUSION: This is the first nationwide assessment of Irish public opinion on the advanced reproductive technologies since 2005. Access to a wide range of AHR treatment was supported by all subgroups studied. Public opinion concerning specific types of AHR treatment varied, yet general support for the need for national AHR legislation was reported by 63% of this national sample. Contemporary views on AHR remain largely consistent with the Commission for Assisted Human Reproduction recommendations from 2005, although further research is needed to clarify exactly how popular opinion on these issues has changed. It appears that legislation allowing for the full range of donation options (and not mandating disclosure of donor identity at a stipulated age) would better align with current Irish public opinion.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to identify and compare social capital measurement tools for the convenient use in public health studies. METHOD AND RESULT: This study examined and compared social capital tools developed individually by the World Bank, the OECD, the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Ireland, and Korea. A comprehensive framework was constructed with six conceptual dimensions and sixteen indices. The six dimensions included Membership, Network, Trust, Information and communication, Social and civic participation, and Social cohesion and exclusion, which connoted the structural, cognitive, bonding, bridging, operative, and output elements. The indices of each tool were respectively matched to the indices of the comprehensive framework. The comprehensive tools were Integrated Questionnaire for the Measurement of Social Capital (SC-IQ) of the World Bank with 27 questions and the European Social Survey (ESS) of the OECD with 80 questions. CONCLUSION: The SC-IQ should be utilized in public health studies due to its simplicity yet comprehensiveness as a social capital tool. The ESS should also be considered as a comprehensive tool.

ABSTRACT

Jonathan Swift is one of the most celebrated satirist writers in literature. His well-known "Gulliver's Travels", apartfrom being a serious human being criticism, contains many interesting ana unrecognized comments about medical and other scientific facts. Swift made what seems to be thefirst account of a dementing illness in the elderly; his description fits well with what we now know as Alzheimer's disease. He also described a condition now called synaesthesia, a very interestingphenomenon that may contribute to creativity. In thispaper, we review aspects ofhis Ufe and reveal these amazing descriptions as samples of Swift's extraordinary power of observation.

ABSTRACT

The causal associations between cigarette smoking and human diseases are irrefutable. In this review, we focus on the epidemiological pattern of cigarette smoking on cardiovascular risk, the underlying mechanistic process of such a causal link, how to prevent premature cardiovascular morbidity and mortality particularly through smoking cessation, and the health benefits of such cessation measures. Finally, we conclude our review summarizing a few of the proven evidence-based tobacco control strategies and policies from across the globe. We did not conduct a systematic review but followed a similar structure. We abstracted the most relevant published literature on the electronic databases, namely, PubMed, Embase and the Cochrane Library applying specific search terms. We also searched gray literature and consulted experts in the field for cross-references. Smoking has been estimated to cause about 11% of all deaths due to cardiovascular disease. Smoking contributes to the pathogenesis of coronary artery disease and sudden death through a variety of mechanisms, including the promotion of atherosclerosis, the triggering of coronary thrombosis, coronary artery spasm, and cardiac arrhythmias, and through reduced capacity of the blood to deliver oxygen. Smoking cessation also confers substantial benefits on people with serious heart disease. Smoking cessation should be viewed as therapeutic rather than preventive intervention, similar to treating asymptomatic hypertension. Smoking cessation is highly cost-effective relative to other frequently used medical and surgical interventions. Tobacco related illnesses are important public health issues worldwide. It has been estimated that there are1.1 billion smokers worldwide and 250 million of them live in India.

ABSTRACT

<p><b>INTRODUCTION</b>A local study completed in Singapore, which was part of an international multi-country study that aims to develop a global assessment of exposure to second-hand smoke in indoor workplaces, gathered data regarding the indoor air quality of public areas. It was hypothesised that air would be less polluted in non-smoking venues compared to places where smoking occurred.</p><p><b>MATERIALS AND METHODS</b>A TSI SidePak AM510 Personal Aerosol Monitor was used to sample and record the levels of respirable suspended particles (RSP) in the air. A broad range of venues were sampled in Singapore. The primary goal of data analysis was to assess the difference in the average levels of RSP in smoke-free and non smoke-free venues. Data was assessed at 3 levels: (a) the mean RSP across all venues sampled compared with the mean levels of smoke-free and non smoke-free venues, (b) levels in venues where smoking occurred compared with similar venues in Ireland, and (c) comparison between smoke-free and non smoke-free areas according to the type of venue. Statistical significance was assessed using the Mann-Whitney U-test.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The level of indoor air pollution was 96% lower in smoke-free venues compared to non smoke-free venues. Averaged across each type of venue, the lowest levels of indoor air pollution were found in restaurants (17 microg/m3) and the highest in bars (622 microg/m3); both well above the US EPA Air Quality Index hazardous level of >or=251 ug/m3.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>This study demonstrates that workers and patrons are exposed to harmful levels of a known carcinogen and toxin. Policies that prohibit smoking in public areas dramatically reduce exposure and improve worker and patron health.</p>

ABSTRACT

In 1965 Gillespie reported a new syndrome of bilateral aniridia, cerebellar ataxia, and oligophrenia (mental retardation). This new syndrome was named Gillespie syndrome. Since then only 17 cases of Gillespie syndrome have been reported in UK, Brazil, Ireland, Belgium, Australia, and US. A case of Gillespie syndrome was not reported in Korea. A 4 year-old girl has triad of Gillespie syndrome, which are partial aniridia, cerebellar ataxia and mental retardation. We confirmed this with ophthalmologic examination, brain MRI, and developmental delay. We report the typical manifestation of Gillespie syndrome in a 4 year-old girl with the brief review of literature.
