Self-medication with antibiotics for the treatment of menstrual symptoms in southwest Nigeria: a cross-sectional study

Background: Self-medication with antibiotics is an important factor contributing to the development of bacterial antibiotic resistance. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of self-medication with antibiotics for the treatment of menstrual symptoms among university women in Southwest Nigeria. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was administered to female undergraduate and graduate students (n = 706) at four universities in Southwest Nigeria in 2008. The universities were selected by convenience and the study samples within each university were randomly selected cluster samples. The survey was self-administered and included questions pertaining to menstrual symptoms, analgesic and antibiotic use patterns, and demographics. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and logistic regression. Results: The response rate was 95.4%. Eighty-six percent (95% CI: 83-88%) of participants experienced menstrual symptoms, and 39% (95% CI: 36-43%) reported using analgesics to treat them. Overall, 24% (95% CI: 21-27%) of participants reported self-medicated use of antibiotics to treat the following menstrual symptoms: cramps, bloating, heavy bleeding, headaches, pimples/acne, moodiness, tender breasts, backache, joint and muscle pain. Factors associated with this usage were: lower levels of education (Odds Ratio (OR): 2.8, 95% CI: 1.1-7.1, p-value: 0.03); nonscience major (OR: 1.58, 95% CI: 1.03-2.50, p-value: 0.04); usage of analgesics (OR: 3.17, 95% CI: 2.07-4.86, p-value: <0.001); and mild to extreme heavy bleeding (OR: 1.64, 95% CI: 1.01-2.67, p-value: 0.05) and pimples/acne (OR: 1.57, 95% CI: 0.98-2.54, p-value: 0.06). Ampicillin, tetracycline, ciprofloxacin and metronidazole were used to treat the most symptoms. Doctors or nurses (6%, 95% CI: 4-7%), friends (6%, 95% CI: 4-7%) and family members (7%, 95% CI: 5-8%) were most likely to recommend the use of antibiotics for menstrual symptoms, while these drugs were most often obtained from local chemists or pharmacists (10.2%, 95% CI: 8-12%). Conclusions: This is the first formal study to report that approximately 1 out of 4 university women surveyed in Southwest Nigeria self-medicate with antibiotics to treat menstrual symptoms. This practice could provide monthly, low-dose exposures to antibiotics among users. Further studies are necessary to evaluate the impacts of selfmedication on student health

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN DYNAMIC BALANCE, FUNCTIONAL MOVEMENT AND MUSCLE

The functional movement screen is an easily administered and noninvasive tool for identifying weaknesses and asymmetry during exercises and daily activity. Also the bilateral asymmetries inflexibilityand in Y Balance Test have been associated with injuries. However, relationships among these attributes are unclear especially in young adults. The aim of this study was to determine the association between dynamic balance using the Y-Balance Test (YBT), functional movement using the functional movement screen (FMS) and muscle lengths using a standard goniometer in a young adults. Secondary aims were to investigate whether this parameters differed between male and female. One hundred twenty-three healthy people (male: n=68, age=21.49 +/- 1.47 years; female: n=55, age=20.98 +/- 1.67 years) participated in the study. Spearman correlation analysis was used to determine the relationship between muscle lengths and FMS, and the YBT. There were positive correlations between the muscle lenghts and the YBT(.197.05) when considered as total scores. However, females performed significantly better than male on the shoulder mobility (p=.004) and straight leg raise (p=.000) but poorer than male on the trunk stability push-up (p=.001) and deep squat (p=.000). We conclude that muscle length in young, male and female can effect in FMS and dynamic balance.C1 [Unver, Fatma; Buke, Meryem] Pamukkale Univ, Sch Phys Therapy & Rehabil, Denizli, Turkey.[Unver, Bayram] Dokuz Eylul Univ, Sch Phys Therapy & Rehabil, Izmir, Turkey

Chromosorb 105 for flame atomic absorption spectrometric determinations

An on-line solid phase extraction method for the preconcentration and determination of Cu(II) by flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS) has been described. It is based on the adsorption of copper(II) ion onto a home made mini column of Chromosorb 105 resin loaded with pyrocatechol violet at the pH range of 5.0-8.0, then eluted with 1 mol L-1 HNO3, Several parameters, such as pH of the sample solution, amount of Chromosorb 105 resin, volume of sample and eluent, type of eluent, flow rates of sample and eluent, governing the efficiency and throughput of the method were evaluated. The concentration of the copper ion detected after preconcentration was in agreement with the added amount. At optimized conditions, for 15 min of preconcentration time (30 mL of sample volume), the system achieved a detection limit of 0.02 mu g L-1, with relative standard deviation 1.1% at 0.03 mu g mL(-1) copper. The present method was found to be applicable to the preconcentration of Cu(II) in natural water samples. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved

The Effect of Vitamin D on Expression of TGF beta 1 in Ovary

The transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) is thought to have important roles in several stages of folliculogenesis. Vitamin D is effective in cell proliferation, differentiation and on estrogen biosynthesis. The aim of the present study was to determine the respective role of 1,25-dihydroxy-vitamin D3 on expression of TGF-beta 1 in developing rat ovaries. 24 (one-month-old n = 12 and adult n = 12) female Wistar rats were enrolled in this study. All animals were divided into 4 groups. Group I and II that consist of one-month-old (n = 6) and adult rats (n = 6) respectively served as control groups. Intramuscular vitamin D3 (0.05 mu g/kg/every other day) was injected for 8 weeks to group III and IV which consist of one-month-old and adult rats respectively. After last injection, ovaries of animals were removed and processed for immunohistochemistry assay. No remarkable differences in staining intensity and localization for TGF-beta 1 were observed in group I and group III. TGF immunostaining was also predominantly found in oocytes. In granulosa cells, TGF-beta 1 immunoreactivity was negative. TGF-beta 1 immunostaining were observed both in nuclei and cytoplasm of granulosa cells in group II. But in group IV granulosa cells and oocytes were negative for TGF-beta 1. We found that vitamin D administration resulted in a decrease in TGF-beta 1 levels in the adult rats, but, TGF-beta 1 expression did not significantly decrease in the newborn rats. However, in multiple linear regression analysis, TGF-beta 1 expressions were independently associated with vitamin D administration. It is observed that Vitamin D attenuated TGF-beta 1 expression. The results of this study suggest that vitamin D may play role in folliculogenesis via TGF-beta 1

A COMPARISON OF DIFFERENT QUADRICEPS FEMORIS ISOMETRIC STRENGTHENING

Purpose: This study was planned to compare the effectiveness of high voltage pulsed galvanic (HVPG) stimulation, Russian current and isometric exercise on quadriceps femoris (QF) isometric muscle strength in healthy young women.Methods: Forty-six healthy young women were included in the study. Before and after the training, the dominant side QF isometric muscle strength of participants was assessed with the isokinetic dynamometer. The peak torque and average torques of the participants were recorded after the test. The training was planned as HVPG current group (n=16), Russian current group (n=15) and isometric strengthening group (n=15). All treatments were performed under physiotherapist supervision for a total of 15 sessions for three days a week for five weeks.Results: The quadriceps isometric muscle strength was significantly increased in all groups in terms of peak torque and average torque values after training compared to pre-training values (p0.05).Conclusion: The highest rate of change belongs to the HVPG group in terms of increasing the QF isometric muscle strength. Therefore, we recommend using it in clinical practice.C1 [Basakci Calik, Bilge; Gur Kabul, Elif; Buke, Meryem; Unver, Fatma; Altug, Filiz] Pamukkale Univ, Sch Phys Therapy & Rehabil, TR-20070 Denizli, Turkey

Intralesional epidermal growth factor for diabetic foot wounds: The first cases in Turkey

Background: Intralesional recombinant epidermal growth factor (EGF) was produced in the Centre for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology (CIGB), Cuba, in 1988 and licensed in 2006. Because it may accelerate wound healing, it is a potential new treatment option in patients with a diabetic foot wound (whether infected or not) as an adjunct to standard treatment (i.e. debridement, antibiotics).We conducted the initial evaluation of EGF for diabetic foot wounds in Turkey. Methods: We enrolled 17 patients who were hospitalized in various medical centers for a foot ulcer and/or infection and for whom below the knee amputation was suggested to all except one. All patients received 75 mg intralesional EGF three times per week on alternate days. Results: The appearance of new granulation tissue on thewound site (?75%) was observed in 13 patients (76%), and complete wound closure was observed in 3 patients (18%), yielding a ‘complete recovery’ rate of 94%. The most common side effects were tremor (n=10, 59%) and nausea (n=6, 35%). In only one case,a serious side effect requiring cessation of EGF treatment was noted. That patient experienced severe hypotension at the 16th application session, and treatment was discontinued. At baseline, a total of 21 causative bacteria were isolated from 15 patients, whereascultures were sterile in two patients. The most frequently isolated species was Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Conclusion: Thus, this preliminary study suggests that EGF seems to be a potential adjunctive treatment option in patients with limb-threatening diabetic foot wounds. © 2015 Bulent M. Ertugrul et al
