An evaluation associated with anthropometric crawls and it is connection to NCDs one of the older adults asia: evidence through LASI Wave-1.
Fournier's gangrene (FG) is a rapidly progressive necrotizing bacterial dermo-hypodermitis of the perineum and external genitalia. It represents a real medical and surgical emergency requiring multidisciplinary care. Our study was based on the retrospective analysis of 18 cases of FG, collected in the Department of General and Visceral Surgery of Fattouma Bourguiba University Hospital in Monastir over an 18-year period extending from January 2000 to December 2018. Our series included 18 cases of FG collected over an 18-year period, an annual incidence of one case per year. The average age of our patients was 58 years (36 to 77). The male prevalence was clear. Diabetes and old age were found to be the major risk factors. The treatment was based on an aggressive surgical debridement remains to be the cornerstone of therapy and is commonly preceded by patient preparation for the surgical act by perioperative resuscitation and broad-spectrum antibiotic therapy, possibly accompanied by hyperbaric oxygen therapy (Hergency.
all women, including those living with HIV, have the right to choose the timing, spacing, and number of their births and need access to family planning services. This study aimed at assessing the prevalence and factors associated with an unmet need for family planning among women receiving Antiretroviral Therapy (ART) services.

a facility-based cross-sectional study was conducted from March to April 2018 in Gondar city, Ethiopia. A systematic random sampling technique was used to recruit 441 reproductive-age women on ART. The data were collected using a pretested structured questionnaire. The bivariate and backward multivariable logistic regression model was fitted to identify factors associated with the unmet need for family planning.

the prevalence of the unmet need for family planning among women living with HIV was 24.5%. Increase in women´s age (AOR 0.90, 95% CI (0.85, 0.95)), having more than three children (AOR 0.13, 95% CI (0.04, 0.38)), intention to have more children (AOR 0.09, 95% CI (0.03, 0.23)), not disclosing sero-status to partner (AOR 0.40, 95% CI (0.20, 0.82)) and having no experience of contraception use (AOR 0.43, 95% CI (0.21, 0.90)) were protective factors against unmet need for family planning. Rural residence (AOR 2.17, 95% CI (1.05, 4.46)) was associated with increased odds of unmet need for family planning.

one in every four women living with HIV had an unmet need for family planning. So, continuous awareness-raising activities on family planning for women on ART should be given by emphasizing the rural and younger age women.

the aim of this study was to correlate the metabolic syndrome with the level of the physical activity in a population from Marrakech, Morocco.

the study was conducted at Ibn Zohr Regional Hospital in Marrakech. The body mass index (BMI) was calculated to assess the degree of obesity of each subject. To determine the level of physical activity, we used the short version of the IPAQ (International Physical Activity Questionnaire); Blood parameters were measured by a Biochemistry Automaton. All statistical analyzes were performed using SPSS software.

a total of 300 subjects participated in the study, which 57.3% were female and 42.7% were male with a sex ratio of 0.74. The average age of our population was 51.6± 13.42 years old. Seventy-nine of the participants (26.3%) had a metabolic syndrome, with a predominance of female 60 women (34.9%) and 19 men (14.8%). There is a significant relationship between level of physical activity and the presence of metabolic syndrome (P = 0.002), between physical activity level and BMI and waist circumference (p < 0.001) and (p = 0.003) respectively.

the result shows a significant association between obesity, metabolic syndrome and the level of the physical activity, which would encourage us to encourage the application of lifestyle rules, including physical activity, which remains one of the best preventive actions against this pathology.

To evaluate feasibility of MRI in patients with non-pacemaker (PM)/ Implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) metallic devices and abandoned leads.

Relative safety of MRI performed using specified protocol has been established in MR non-conditional PM/ICDs. With limited safety data, many non-PM/ICD metallic devices and abandoned leads continue to be a contraindication for MRI.

We retrospectively analyzed consecutive patients with extra-cardiac devices, non-programmable cardiac devices, and abandoned leads, who underwent MRI (GE 1.5 Tesla, WI) at a single tertiary care center over a span of 13 years. Scan protocol was designed to maintain specific absorption rate (SAR) < 4.0 W/kg and scan time < 60 minutes.

The cohort comprised 127 MRI exams representing 94 patients, with 13 patients having two or more scans. The devices consisted of 23 vagal nerve stimulators (VNS), 22 implantable loop recorders, 16 spinal stimulators, 5 peripheral nerve stimulators, 3 bladder stimulators, 2 deep brain stimulators, 1 gastric stimulator, 1 bone stimulator, 1 WATCHMAN device, 22 abandoned PM/lCD leads and 1 VNS lead. LNG-451 There was no immediate (peri-MRI exam) morbidity or mortality. Patients did not report any discomfort, palpitations, heating, or sensation of device migration during the exam. Local follow-up data was available in 65% (100% for thoracic imaging) with a mean of 190±475 days (median 13 days). No device malfunction reported during follow-up.

With appropriate precautions, MRI is feasible in patients with extracardiac devices, nonprogrammable cardiac devices, and abandoned leads.
