#Fetal Abdominal #Cystic Lesions: Diagnosis is not so Crucial by Qiong Luo in BJSTR

Abstract

#Fetalabdominalechogeniclesions are relatively common findings during routine screening of fetal morphology, especially with the sophisticated equipment now a day’s such as highresolution ultrasound (US) and fetal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) [1]. However most of them present as round, #anechoiccystic structure with different shape, size and origins. Thus diagnosis is often imprecise, prediction of postnatal intervention is poor and consultation cannot give relief to anxious parents. Fortunately, many of these lesions may not increase additional rick to fetus or #neonate. They may resolve spontaneously in the uterus or after birth. Therefore, in most cases, expectant management is sufficient, but some still need early intervention. This article discusses some of the most common prenatally diagnosed fetal #intra-abdominalmasses, giving a brief description of the etiology, #diagnosis, management and prognosis.

#Scabies Prevalence and #RiskFactors in Pakistan: A Hospital Based Survey by Farhana Riaz Chaudhry in BJSTR

Abstract

In Pakistan, scabies is considered as common skin infestation but no comprehensive study is available on its #epidemiology and risk factors associated with scabies. Tendency of emergence/reemergence attributes of scabies prompted to design one year study to evaluate the epidemiological profile of #scabies infestation. Data was collected through questionnaires from patients visiting the #DermatologyClinic of the Military Hospital- Rawalpindi-Pakistan. The risk factors were analyzed through Chi square and later on processed through GLMs to see their impact on the scabies. Hospital based data revealed that scabies contribution is 38.15% among #dermatologicaldisorders. The infestation was higher in males than females (53.81 vs 24.22%; p<0.05) and early school going children were the most susceptible group for this disease (46.88%; p<0.05). The scabies was more common in urban population than rural one (46.46 vs 27.2%; p<0.05).A clear trend of seasonal pattern came on record with a highest infestation in winter (63.75%) and lowest in summer (16.89%).Analysis of risk factors explained 89% of variations in disease prevalence.The current study brought strong and influential features on record which is alarming for health professionals enforcing them to design effective control strategies and awareness campaigns to reduce scabietic infestation in human community.

#Dysmenorrhea: A #Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial #Evaluating a #Novel Treatment Approach by Yossef Ezra in BJSTR



Study participants were women experiencing #dysmenorrhea monthly (for the 6 preceding months) at a level >5 on the visual analog scale (0-10), who were otherwise healthy. The study #participants also collected their #menstrual fluid for 2 baseline months, while recording their pain levels (primary outcome) systematically. A correlation between menstrual fluid characteristics and menstrual pain was studied, too.
