Abstract:Objective: Health is nothing but a state of complete physical, mental and social wellbeing not merely the absence of disease. Health depends on life style and requires the promotion of healthy life style. Health is both a consequence of an individual's life style and factors in determining it. Working pattern or type of work has long been known to influence human health specially. The present study was under taken to evaluate the body status and physiological stress and occupational health hazards of the female workers. Methods: According to the work load the working group was classified in to low physical work group (LPWG) and the moderate type of physical work group (MPWG). Eighty women (forty in each group), excluding pregnant women, were selected from the municipal area of Bhilai, Chhattisgarh, India, aged between 20 to 40 years. The anthropometric measurement and skin fold thickness were taken, from which the body mass index (BMI) and fat percentage were determined. The blood pressure of all the subjects was taken by mercury sphygmomanometer at resting condition. The occupational health hazards were determined by questionnaire technique. Result: The result indicates that the MPWG workers suffer in significantly (p<0.001) low weight, BMI and Fat% than that of the LPWG workers. The MPWG workers also suffer from significantly (p<0.001) higher percentage of musculoskeletal disorder (MSD) at neck, shoulder, elbow, wrist, finger, cuff and feet-ankle joint. MPWG workers, hemoglobin concentration also significantly (p<0.01) lower than that of the LPWG workers. Conclusion: It may be concluded that, this study is helpful to identify the risk factor for the occurrence of different cardiovascular as well as musculoskeletal abnormalities and accordingly prevention program, regarding proper food habit be undertaken.
Profunda femoris artery is the largest branch of femoral artery and chief supply of the thigh. It is useful for various clinical procedures like arteriography, ultrasonography and Doppler imaging and haemodialysis. The knowledge of variance in height of origin of profunda femoris artery and its branches has a great significance preventing necrosis of tensor fascia lata flap when used in plastic and reconstructive surgery. The study was conducted in the Department of Anatomy, Chandulal Chandrakar Memorial Medical College. 33 Femoral triangles were dissected. The distance of the site of origin of Profunda Femoris Artery was measured from mid inguinal point (MIP) with scale, thread, and digital calipers. The sites of origin of Medial Circumflex Femoral Artery and Lateral Circumflex Femoral Artery were also studied and the distances of origin of each of them were measured from the origin of the Profunda Femoris Artery and from the mid inguinal point. The results obtained were tabulated and then statistically analysed using chi square test but significant result was obtained only in case of comparison of the distances of origin of MCFA from MIP with the distance of origin of PFA from MIP (p<0.05). The knowledge of the side of origin of the Profunda Femoris Artery helps in avoiding iatrogenic femoral arterio-venous fistula while performing femoral artery puncture & it enable to identity the correct site of making incision for surgical exposure of the common femoral and profunda femoris junction.
Background - Stress during pregnancy can have serious adverse outcomes on the mother, the fetus, newborn, children and even adolescents. Socioeconomic status has been recognized as a predictor of stress amongst pregnant women Aims and Objectives: The aim of the study is to determine the correlation between oxidative stress and socioeconomic status of HIV / AIDs pregnant women. To determine oxidative stress levels we will measure : Glutathione (GSH) concentration Malondialdehyde (MDA) concentration Total Antioxidant Status (TAS) Glutathione Peroxidase (GPx) Super Oxide Dismutase (SOD) To correlate socioeconomic status with oxidative stress in HIV/AIDs pregnant women’s. Result - Shows the level of hormones in normal pregnant women and HIV positive pregnant women. Hormone level in HIV pregnant women were significantly decreased found compare to normal pregnant women. Conclusion: Although the prevalence of HIV in India is low, the lack of strong wealth patterning in the risk of HIV suggests a more generalized distribution of HIV risk than some of India's high-risk group HIV prevention policies have assumed. The positive association between state economic development and individual risk for HIV is intriguing and requires further scrutiny. On the basis of our result we concluded that the HIV positive pregnant women experience more free radical injury than those with HIV negative pregnant women. Due to oxidative stress, when highly induce it is involved in tissue damage. These mechanisms lead to the decrease of the antioxidant capacity of the body in HIV positive pregnant women.
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.
