RESUMO

Objective: To identify possible tests along with their accuracies that may be used to diagnose irritable bowel syndrome. METHODS: The systematic review comprised literature search on Cochrane Library, PubMed, Science Direct and Elsevier databases for randomised controlled trials and cohort studies conducted from January 1, 2015, to December 31, 2022, using appropriate key words and Boolean operators. Focus was kept on studies that reported irritable bowel syndrome diagnosis as the primary outcome. The risk of bias was assessed using quality assessment, data abstraction, and synthesis version 2. RESULTS: Of the 2,798 studies initially identified, 10(0.35%) were analysed in detail. Of them, 4(40%) used enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kits to test for anti-cytolethal distending toxin B and anti-vinculin levels, 2(20%) used the kits for serum cytokine profiling and serum calprotectin levels, and 4(40%) used either magnetic resonance imaging scans, faecal metabolic profiling, intestinal biopsy analysis with immunostaining or polymerase chain reaction for differential transferribonucleic acid-derived small ribonucleic acid. Out of the 4(40%) studies on anti-cytolethal distending toxin B and anti-vinculin levels, optical densities >1.56 and >1.60 recorded 100% specificity for irritable bowel syndrome with diarrhoea, but sensitivity was 22%. In contrast, rectal biopsies for cell densities of somatostatin and peptide YY showed high sensitivity and specificity for irritable bowel syndrome ranging 80-90%. Conclusion: Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay testing for anti-cytolethal distending toxin B and anti-vinculin as well as rectal biopsies for cell densities could be potential diagnostic tests for irritable bowel syndrome.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To assess the knowledge and attitude of female healthcare providers about human papilloma virus and its vaccination, to determine the frequency of respondents vaccinated against the virus, and to evaluate the reasons for non-immunisation. METHODS: The cross-sectional study was conducted at the Jinnah Hospital, Lahore, Pakistan, from January 7 to February 20, 2022, and comprised female health care providers aged 20-60 years. Data was collected using a self-assessing questionnaire. Data was analysed using SPSS 22. RESULTS: Of the 250 individuals approached, 210(84%) took part in the study. The mean age was 28.9+/-7.99 years. Most of the subjects were house officers, medical officers or senior registrars 138(65.7%), and 126(60%) were unmarried. Overall, 170(81%) respondents knew about human papilloma virus and 174(82.9%) were aware of its link with cervical cancer. Even though 128(61%) respondents knew that the virus can be prevented by vaccine, 14(6.7%) were actually vaccinated. The vaccinated individuals had better knowledge about HPV, its spread, complications, its association with cervical cancer, prevention by vaccination and availability of vaccine compared to the non-vaccinated (p =0.05). CONCLUSIONS: The trend of human papilloma virus vaccination among female health professionals was found to be low, and lack of awareness and counselling was the leading cause.
