Aims: To find out the frequency of modifiable gamble variables of non-transferable sicknesses in youthful grown-ups (age 25-40 yrs) of Bahawalpur and to compare modifiable gamble variables of non-transferable sicknesses among different financial status. Study Design: Descriptive cross sectional study Place and Duration: Four areas of Bahawalpur City: Model Town A &B, Tibba Badar Sher and Bhatta No. 2,3 from April 2019 to September 2019. Methodology: Multi stage sampling was done to draw the sample. The sample size of 240 was calculated by using WHO software sample size calculation after adding 10% response error. Data was collected through a predesigned and pretested questionnaire. BMI was calculated by measuring height and weight. The data was entered and analyzed through SPSS version 24.Mean and standard deviations were calculated for quantitative variables like age and BMI. Simple Frequencies and percentages were calculated. Chi square test was used as the test of significance for qualitative variables. Results: The frequency of various gamble variables was found highest in the participants falling in the working financial class (58.3%) i.e., smoking (11.3%), low dietary intake of natural products like fruits and vegetables 55.6% and 51.7% respectively while low physical activity 71%. The relationship of these factors with gender and age was statistically significant. Conclusion: Varieties in the dispersion of hazard factors contends specific concentration over individual ways of behaving, individual decisions and obligations to be featured . Purposeful planning of conditions to advance sound ways of behaving is fundamental and promising to diminish the pervasiveness of these ways of life sicknesses. Keywords: Modifiable gamble variables, youthful grown up, sickness

Cervical cancer is the second most common malignancy seen in women in Cameroon with an annual prevalence of greater than 41.2 per 100,000, 2770 cases diagnosed each year with 1787 deaths making it 13.4% proportion of all cancers diagnosed in the country. Despite these alarming statistics, screening coverage in LMIC countries like Cameroon remains low. Reasons for this include competing health and nonhealth funding priorities, low prioritization of screening services and few trained and skilled healthcare service providers available to perform or implement screening and treatment programs. With regards to cervical cancer prevention, a systematic review of 44 published articles suggests that engagement with HPV related social media discussions is associated with improved awareness, knowledge and quality of screening for both patients and physicians.This paper highlights the role of WhatsApp in presenting and managing 7 challenging cases in the field of cervical cancer prevention by nurses in Cameroon, with expert inputs for quality assurance.

The burden of uterine cancer is growing and, in the US and UK, mortality rates are poorest among black women. Early detection of these cancers is critical and poor performance of ultrasound in black women may contribute to adverse outcomes. Limited data on this topic are available from Africa. We assessed whether a simple DNA methylation test, the WID‐qEC, enables detection of all epithelial uterine (endometrial and cervical) cancers in women presenting with abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) in Ghana. Among 118 women ≥40 years presenting with AUB, 106 consented to the study and a cervicovaginal sample was obtained for WID‐qEC testing. Subsequent to ultrasound assessment 102 women had a cervical or endometrial biopsy. Histopathology, ultrasound and WID‐qEC testing were analyzed and compared. Among the 102 volunteers, 8 and 15 were diagnosed with endometrial and cervical cancer (EC and CC), respectively. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) area under the curve (AUC) was 0.56 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.25–0.86) for sonographic endometrial thickness (ET) and 0.98 (95% CI 0.94–1.00) for the WID‐qEC test. Sensitivity and specificity of the prespecified ET ≥5 mm were 66.7% (95% CI 24.1–94.0) and 22.7 (95% CI 12.0–38.2) and for the prespecified WID‐qEC SUM‐PMR ≥ 0.3 were 100% (95% CI 56.1–100.0) and 76.1 (96%CI 60.9–86.9), respectively. In addition, 15 CCs were detected by the WID‐qEC test [sensitivity 100% (95% CI 74.7–100.0)]. The WID‐qEC test accurately detects both EC and CC in black women presenting with AUB.

Pathology findings among women with alterations in uterine bleeding patterns in cameroon

Abstract: Highlights Of 151 endometrial biopsies, 36.7% had endometrial hyperplasia/cancer. The remaining 63.3% had benign/infectious pathology findings. Therefore, over 1 in 3 women with abnormal uterine bleeding had endometrial hyperplasia or cancer.
