This document summarizes a study examining differences in breast cancer screening patterns between rural and urban Australian women aged 50-64 years. The study used survey data from over 11,000 women participating in the Australian Longitudinal Study on Women's Health. The study identified six distinct patterns of breast cancer screening and found rural women were less likely to undergo mammography and clinical breast examinations but more likely to do breast self-examinations compared to urban women. Characteristics like geographic location, access to services, and socioeconomic status were associated with different screening patterns.Matt Mcdermott CV

This study aimed to assess awareness of stomach cancer among postgraduate biotechnology students. A questionnaire was administered to 39 students to evaluate their knowledge of the causes, transmission, treatment, and experience with stomach cancer. The results showed that around half of the students correctly identified bacterial infection and genetic factors as causes. However, many also incorrectly believed it was caused by viruses or fungi. Most students correctly understood that stomach cancer can be treated with medicines or surgery. The study concluded that while students had some awareness, there were also misunderstandings about the causes and transmission of stomach cancer.Final Project Powerpoint

This document summarizes a study examining the association between multiple stressors and smoking cessation during pregnancy among women in Rhode Island who smoked before pregnancy. The study found that 47% of women who smoked before pregnancy continued smoking during pregnancy. Women experiencing 3 or more stressors had 1.72 times higher odds of continuing to smoke during pregnancy compared to those with 2 or less stressors, even after adjusting for other factors. Factors like marital status, education level, and number of cigarettes smoked before pregnancy were also significantly associated with prenatal smoking cessation. The study concludes that healthcare providers should encourage smoking cessation and stress management among pregnant patients or those seeking pregnancy.Iph ddahly

This study examined the association between health behaviors and mortality outcomes in women diagnosed with ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS). The study analyzed data from 1,925 women in the Wisconsin In Situ Cohort study who were followed for a mean of 6.7 years. Health behaviors like smoking, physical activity, alcohol consumption, and BMI were self-reported at baseline and subsequent interviews. The results found that all-cause mortality was higher in current smokers and lower in women with greater physical activity levels before diagnosis. Moderate physical activity after diagnosis was also linked to lower all-cause mortality. Cancer-specific mortality was higher in smokers, and cardiovascular mortality decreased with increasing physical activity. In conclusion, several health behaviors were associated with mortalityImpact of Literacy Status on the Cervical Cancer Screening in Rural Women of ...

Yoga Postures to Practice for Holistic (Physical, Mental, and Cognitive) Well...Bhoj Raj Singh
油
An ancient System for holistic health (mental and physical) and wellbeing, is a scientific art of living with harmony (connecting) of mind and body. Although much more ancient than Patanjali, who documented yoga systematically about 2000 years ago, Patanjali is often referred to as the "father of modern yoga."
Yoga postures are commonly depicted in ancient paintings, carvings, and sculptures in almost all civilizations and religions, thus Yoga cant be described as an act of Hinduism. It originated long before any religion on Earth, with the emergence of life on the Planet. All yoga poses are natural, and what is not natural is not yoga; it is油Viyoga.
Besides Vedic Yoga, Hatha, Vinyasa, Ashtanga, Iyengar, Yin, Restorative, Kundalini, Bikram, Sahaj, and Power yoga are some popular types.
Vinyasa油Yoga is the closest form to Vedic Yoga; it is known for its flowing movements, not very rigorous, not too much straining, actions flow with the breath.
Though all yoga may lead to meditation (Dhyan) for your inner upliftment, it is not the same as described in Hinduism for self-liberation.
In Hinduism, different paths of life looking distinct but can be practiced all together, they are: Karma Yoga (selfless action and service), Bhakti Yoga (devotion and love for God or Godly power), Jnana (Gyan) Yoga (gaining knowledge for self-realization through wisdom), Dhyan Yoga (meditation) and Kriya Yoga (optimum utilization of your vital and muscular energy).油

Open PPT for detail description: Peptic Ulcer Disease (PUD)
Peptic ulcer disease refers to mucosal erosions equal to or greater than 5 mm in the stomach or proximal duodenum, caused primarily by an imbalance between gastric acid/pepsin secretion and mucosal defense mechanisms. The most common etiologies include Helicobacter pylori infection, chronic use of NSAIDs, and physiological stress.
Classification of Peptic Ulcers
Based on Location
Gastric Ulcers Occur in the stomach lining.
Duodenal Ulcers Occur in the first part of the small intestine (duodenum).
Based on Etiology
H. pyloriAssociated Ulcers
NSAID-Induced Ulcers
Stress-Related Mucosal Disease (SRMD)
ZollingerEllison Syndrome (gastrinoma-related)
Cushings Ulcer (due to intracranial injury)
Curlings Ulcer (seen in burn patients)
Pharmacological Management
1. Acid Suppression Therapy
Class Examples Mechanism
Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs) Omeprazole, Pantoprazole Irreversibly inhibit H+/K+ ATPase pump
H2-Receptor Antagonists Ranitidine, Famotidine Block histamine-mediated gastric acid secretion
2. Mucosal Protective Agents
Class Examples Mechanism
Prostaglandin Analogues Misoprostol Increases mucus & bicarbonate; decreases acid; protects mucosa
Mucosal Coating Agents Sucralfate Forms protective barrier over ulcer site
Bismuth Compounds Bismuth subsalicylate Antimicrobial, mucosal protective, and anti-inflammatory
3. Eradication Therapy (for H. pylori)
Combination of:
PPI + Two Antibiotics (e.g., amoxicillin + clarithromycin OR metronidazole + tetracycline)
Duration: 714 days depending on local guidelines
See BNF regimens above for detailed protocols
4. Cytoprotective/Adjunctive Agents
Class Examples Role in PUD
Somatostatin Analogues Octreotide Used in bleeding ulcers; reduces splanchnic blood flow and gastric secretions
Antacids Magnesium hydroxide, Aluminium hydroxide Neutralize gastric acid; provide symptomatic relief
Non-Pharmacologic Measures
Avoid NSAIDs, smoking, alcohol, and spicy foods
Small, frequent meals in symptomatic patients
Stress reduction
Endoscopic therapy in case of bleeding or perforation
Surgical Indications (rarely needed)
Perforated ulcer
Gastric outlet obstruction
Refractory ulcers not responding to medical therapy
Severe bleeding unresponsive to endoscopic management
Summary
Peptic ulcer disease is primarily driven by H. pylori infection and NSAID use, with duodenal ulcers more common than gastric. Treatment is tailored based on etiology and includes acid suppression, H. pylori eradication, and mucosal protection. Advanced cases may require somatostatin analogues for hemorrhage control or surgery for complications. Prostaglandin analogues like misoprostol are especially valuable in preventing NSAID-induced ulcers.Air Pollution, air quality index, Nepal air pollution
