Background: Entamoeba histolytica is a unicellular, protozoon parasite of humans. It moves by a jelly-like tongue-like protrusion of the cytoplasm “pseudopodium”. Infections by this parasite lead to distinct clinical manifestations, including diarrhea, mild abdominal pain, loss of appetite, fatigue, dysentery, and hepatic liver abscess. Methods: In this paper, we discussed about Entamoeba histolytica disease, its epidemiology, pathophysiology, hygiene, causes, risk factors, clinical manifestation and complications, method of transmission, diagnosis, treatment, and incubation period in human body. Results: It is the second leading cause of death. It was diagnosed by taking a complete history and testing stool samples for the presence of E. histolytica cysts. It was treated pharmacologically and surgically. Conclusion: We have concluded that the Entamoeba histolytica is an infection mostly related to fecal-oral transmission due to poor hand hygiene, defecation into water sources such as rivers, and being near animals, and gay or bisexual males due to the risk of fecal-oral contamination through oral and anal sex. It is the second leading cause of death from parasitic intestinal disease worldwide. Key Words: Entamoeba histolytica, epidemiology, pathophysiology, hygiene, incubation period, human body
Background: Diabetes mellitus type 2 is an endocrine disorder characterized by a progressive elevation in blood glucose levels. It is a persistent and incapacitating illness that may result in mortality if not properly managed. Objectives: The objective of this research is to explore the relationship between the attitudes of individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus and their ability to regulate blood glucose levels. In particular, the study aims to investigate the potential correlation between participants’ attitudes and their capacity to manage blood glucose levels following their participation in an educational program. Moreover, the research seeks to analyze the association between individuals’ attitudes and diabetes control. Ultimately, the study intends to evaluate the levels of participants’ attitudes through appropriate measures. Materials and Methods: The study is designed as a cross-sectional investigation and utilizes data from a diabetic outpatient center in Chamchamal. The study population consists of outpatients from the evening public clinic and chronic disease control center. Participants are required to complete questionnaires on their diabetes attitude. The study was conducted between August 11, 2019, and January 5, 2022. To explore the efficacy of the attitude with diabetes control, we used a correlation coefficient test and a t-test with P-value of 0.05 as our alpha level of significance. Results and Conclusion: The study found that the majority of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus had low levels of educational attainment, were married and had insufficient monthly income. In addition, 85% of the patients reported not smoking, and 48.3% were classified as overweight. These findings highlight the need for health-care providers to consider sociodemographic factors in the management of diabetes mellitus.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
