Owing to the worldwide spread of bacterial antimicrobial resistance, it is of great concern to search for antimicrobial agents of natural origin. Since the antimicrobial activity of honey was widely documented, the study aimed to evaluate its use comparing with certain medicinal plants extracts as surgical dressing of bovine clow affections. Aqueous extracts of Thymus vulgaris (T. vulgaris), Matricaria chamomilla (M. chamomilla) and Origanum vulgare (O. vulgare) were prepared to be used in vitro and in vivo studies in this work. Clinical aerobic or anaerobic bacterial strains were isolated from some clinical surgical bovine clow affections, and were used to determine the minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of the prepared extracts against these pathogens.The study concluded that all tested aerobic bacterial strains were inhibited with 10 % of all tested extracts, while the anaerobic strains were inhibited with 10 % of T. vulgaris and 15 % of both O. vulgare and M. chamomilla extracts. According the achieved MICs values, lotions and ointments of the entended medicinal plants were made to be used during the in vivo study as follow: 20 lactating dairy cows suffering from different surgical clow affections were classified to equal four groups (A -D) which were managed with surgical dressing and received: honey (A): T. vulgaris (B), M. chamomilla: (C) and O. vulgare: (D) extracts with their MICs. All cows of groups A & B (no = 10)as well as one cow from group (C) showed complete healing by the day 30 while, none of group (D).The study concluded that with the alternative medical trends, application of honey -as it is -in surgical dressing of bovine digital dermatitis or inter digital necrobacillosis is the most effective valuable economic tool among the four materials studied for its superurity and feasibility followed by the use of T. vulgaris extract 10% in lotion and ointment preparation.
Introduction: A maternal near miss is defined by WHO as a woman who nearly died but survived a complication that occurred during pregnancy, childbirth or within 42 days of termination of pregnancy. Maternal morbidities occur more frequently than maternal deaths, maternal near miss was suggested as a more useful indicator for the evaluation and improvement of maternal health services than the maternal death The prevalence of maternal near -miss is variable around the world.. The aim of this study was to analyze the quality of care had saved severe obstetric complications in N'Djamena Mother and Child University Hospital Center. Patients and Method: This was a prospective and descriptive survey of one year from January 1 st to December 31 st , 2019 performed at the maternity of N'Djamena Mother and Child University Hospital Center on incidence and causes of maternal near -miss. All pregnant, parturient or delivered had presented a severe obstetric complication and agreed participate in the study was included. The analysis was made using the SPSS 18.0. Results: We recorded 248 maternal near -miss cases among 8.124 deliveries giving a frequency of 3.1%. The mean age was 26.5 ± 1.8 years. The majority of patients (61.3%) were multipara, uneducated (44.7%), referred in 75.4% cases and practiced one at two antenatal care in 43%. Main morbidities were: haemorrhage (66.1%) and hypertensive complication (17%) followed by abortion complications (7.7%). In 54% cases, treatment was being introduced within 30 minutes of diagnosis. Patients were satisfied with management in 84% cases. Conclusion:Maternal near -miss is frequent in our hospital. Haemorrhage and hypertension are the main pathologies registered. Its reduction impose improvement the quality of care.
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.
