Objective: Menstrual disorders are highly prevalent among women. The need for counseling for different menstrual disorders is not well-documented.Objective: This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of menstrual problems amongst Beni-Suef University students during the previous 6 months and detect what menstrual disorders required counseling more often. Methods: A total of 1,519 students representing 28 different faculties of Beni-Suef University were included. To assess their menstrual disorders during the previous 6 months, a self-administered questionnaire was distributed to the university student. The questionnaire included questions about the most common complaints before and during menstruation. Other demographic and gynecological characters and the need for counseling were also investigated.Results: The mean age of the participating university students was 20.9 ± 1.7 years. The mean age of their first menarche was 12.9 ± 1.4 years while their average menstrual flow days was 5.1 ± 1.4. Throughout the previous 6 months, 22.1% of the investigated university students reported counseling due to at least 1 menstrual disorder. Before the menstruation, irritation (48.8%) and fatigue (40.9%) were the most reported symptoms and associated with high rates of counseling while dysmenorrhea (94.1%) and acne flare (49.2%) were very common during menses. Students with menstrual cycles exceeding 28 days and those who experienced breast tenderness, abdominal bloating, and insomnia were statistically more likely to resort to counseling (p < .05).Conclusions: Menstrual disorders, especially dysmenorrhea, are very common among students in Beni-Suef University, however, the necessity of counseling varied widely according to the complaint.Recommendations: Further studies should focus on the barriers to counseling for menstrual disorders.
Background: The increasing internet utilization is associated with various disadvantages. Online cyberbullying and harassment victimization is one of these disadvantages that pose negative emotional consequences. Aim: This study aimed to detect the prevalence of online cyberbullying and harassment victimization amongst nursing students from El-Fayoum University in comparison to students from other faculties at the same university. In addition to figuring out the most significant correlates of victimization and its emotional consequences. Subjects and methods: A total of 308 female nursing students and 320 female non-nursing students from El-Fayoum University participated in this cross-sectional survey. For data collection, а self-administered questionnaire was designed and distributed. The questionnaire included 3 sections; personal characters of the included students, online cyberbullying and harassment victimization during the past year, and the emotional consequences of victimization. Results: Of the surveyed female university students, 84 (27.3%) of the nursing students and 88 (27.5%) of the non-nursing students stated online harassment victimization during the past year, with no statistically significant differences between both groups (Р>0.05). Almost two-thirds of the victimized students from nursing and non-nursing faculties reported online harassment, victimization more than once with no statistically significant differences between both groups (Р>0.05). Urban residence and more hours of internet use per day did not correlate with the prevalence of online harassment victimization (Р>0.05) but associated with frequent exposure (Р<0.05). Anger (74.4%) was the most commonly reported emotional impact of online harassment victimization. Hatred, fear, sorrow, loneliness, and disappointment came next, however, with considerably lower rates. Conclusion: Female university students from nursing and non-nursing faculties were exposed to online cyberbullying and harassment victimization in recognizable rates. Recommendations: Further studies on the coping techniques to online harassment victimization should be conducted. Interventional programs to increase awareness regarding the windows of interference against online harassment according to the Egyptian Penal Code to reduce such intrusions and minimize their emotional effects should be considered.
There are still many places where medical care does not reach. In this abstract, from the perspective of the SDGs, we can see that we should tackle the world through the problems that Japan has.Social inequality faces many challenges that must be resolved in the future. First of all, as for income disparity, while absolute difficulties are declining worldwide, the number of relatively poor people in poverty compared to their standard of living is still increasing. Although Japan is the world’s third-largest economy, it is the worst in eight of the 41 OECD member countries.Regional disparities and their associated population disparities are also major issues. When the population flows out, it becomes depopulated, and the town’s infrastructure deteriorates. The medical system in depopulated areas is a serious problem.Educational disparities are caused by poverty, creating a chain of poverty. The digital divide is associated with educational inequality and can lead to health problems due to difficulty obtaining correct health and preventive information. The need for a nutritionally balanced diet to improve health is learned through education.Gender inequality is also a serious problem that causes employment inequality, income inequality, and education inequality. Japan’s Gender Gap Index in 2019 was the lowest in the G7 and 121st among the 153 countries in the world. Japan needs to improve the gender gap radically.As for the intergenerational disparity, Japan’s aging rate is about 30%, which is the largest in the world. Although it will continue to increase, the population will decrease sharply. As a result, the medical services received will become increasingly difficult for the elderly. Medical staff will be available when they really need it.We have created a model for predicting incident cardiovascular disease and its subtypes. The results are returned to the participants as a joint project between Suita City and its Medical Association to prevent the aggravation of heart failure, and the results are returned on a paper basis as a personal health record. As for health guidance, we developed Lifelong Health Support 10 (LHS10) so that the examinee can objectively understand where to improve in their daily lives. We are considering creating a mechanism that allows multi-worker intervention, such as incorporating such tools on smartphones. By utilizing LHS10, it is possible to contribute to reducing social disparity as health information that is objectively simple and easy for anyone to understand.
Purpose: to evaluate the effect of repeated heat pressing on fracture resistance and mode of failure analysis of new and reprocessed PEEK either partially or totally 3-unit FDPs.Methods: 15 PEEK FDPs were manufactured and divided into 3 groups (n=5). Group I was pressed using new PEEK, Group II; 50% new PEEK and 50% reprocessed PEEK, and Group III; 100% reprocessed PEEK. The FDPs were vertically loaded till failure in a universal testing machine. Failed specimens were examined for mode of failure and microstructural analysis with SEM and XRD.Results: There was a statistically significant difference between mean fracture resistance values of different PEEK conditions (P-value = 0.006, Effect size = 0.577). Pair-wise comparisons between conditions revealed no statistically significant difference between new (1719.6±315.7) and partially reprocessed PEEK (2010.4±444.4); both showed statistically significant higher mean fracture resistance than totally reprocessed PEEK (1097.2±319.5). Mode of failure analysis showed only bending in the new PEEK group bending (100%). While in the partially processed PEEK group 40% of the samples showed visible cracks at the connector area. Finally, in the totally processed PEEK group 80% showed complete fracture. Conclusion:Totally reprocessed PEEK 3-unit FDPs had the lowest fracture resistance compared to new and partially reprocessed PEEK although all exceeded maximum occlusal forces recorded in the molar area. Incorporating reprocessed PEEK material in 3-unit FDPs increased brittleness and decreased their ability to deform and absorb stresses created during force application.
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.
