Female genital cutting is a practice that has incited controversy and conflicting discourses across the international community. There is a need to analyze social media data on the portrayal of the practice in order to gather insights and inform strategic planning and interventions design. This study aims to explore and describe the portrayal of female genital cutting in the comments section of YouTube comment posts. This mixed-method study employs a content analysis approach with a sequential exploratory design. A total of 150 YouTube comment posts were analyzed through qualitative content analysis and quantitative descriptive content analysis on NVivo 11 and Microsoft Excel, respectively. Salient subthemes from the qualitative component included likening female genital cutting with male genital cutting, differentiating female genital cutting from male genital cutting, branding female genital cutting as a harmful and unethical practice, branding female genital cutting as a normal tradition, contributiofindings are useful for strategic planning and the development of interventions with informative goals. Study findings can also help to gage and evaluate the effectiveness of existing programs that aim to reduce misinformation about female genital cutting or aim to reduce stigmas surrounding the practice.The purpose of this study was to examine whether subjective nearness-to-death moderated the association between health worries and death anxiety due to the COVID-19 outbreak among older adults in Israel. Using an online survey, 277 participants were recruited and completed self-reported questionnaires, which included background characteristics, exposure to COVID-19 risk experiences, self-rated health, subjective nearness-to-death, health worries regarding COVID-19, and death anxiety. Findings revealed that subjective nearness-to-death moderated the association between health worries and death anxiety. The importance and significance of subjective perceptions concerning the distance from death as far, which may serve as a resilient resource, is discussed.Curable sexually transmitted infections (STIs) including Chlamydia trachomatis (CT), Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG), and Trichomonas vaginalis (TV) are associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes. Partner notification is an important component of STI control as it has been shown to prevent re-infection and reduce infectious burden. Between October 2017 and February 2019, we conducted a cohort study of women attending antenatal care in Cape Town, South Africa. Self-collected vulvovaginal swabs were tested for CT, NG, and TV using Xpert® assays at first antenatal visit, during the third trimester, and postpartum. At the visit following a positive diagnosis, women were asked if they notified their partner and if their partner was treated. Among 242 participants, 97% reported being willing to notify partners if they tested positive and 78% thought their partner would be willing to treat the STI. Of the 73 women who were diagnosed with one or more STIs and reported having a sex partner, 93% reported notifying their partner and 63% reported their partner was treated. Younger maternal age was associated with partner notification and treatment (OR = 3.82; 95%CI = 1.34-10.90). Acceptability of partner notification was high in pregnant women, but partner treatment was low. Future interventions to improve partner notification and treatment are needed.The lesbian-gay-bisexual (LGB) population experiences a higher rate of psychopathology than the non-LGB population. Minority stress theory (MST) suggests that this pattern of findings is due to the increased negativity that LGB individuals face; however, MST is often employed as a post-hoc explanation for health inequalities as opposed to an a priori approach that explicitly tests this idea and has not been examined in the context of Canadian sexual minorities. Using the 2012 Canadian Community Health Survey-Mental Health (CCHS-MH), we tested the MST on a sample 22,495 Canadians (n = 21,995 non-LGB; n = 500 LGB). Results indicated that respondents' scores on the Negative Social Interactions scale (NSI) partially mediated the relationship between LGB status and both depression and satisfaction with life. The findings suggest that a substantial component of the relationship between sexual orientation and mental health is influenced by deleterious social exchanges.Health and health service access for women displaced by terrorism from Northeast Nigeria is a serious problem. Existing government and humanitarian initiatives in Northeast Nigeria focus on food, security, housing, water and sanitation to the neglect of health access needs, especially access to reproductive health. TGF-beta inhibitor With no policy in place and very little existing research, the systemic influences surrounding IDP women's health in Nigeria are not well understood. This study aimed to identify structural gaps influencing access to reproductive health care for women displaced by terrorism in Nigeria. The findings highlight important factors that undermine reproductive health access for internally displaced women poor governance of the primary health care sector in Nigeria and insufficient co-ordination between the federal government and implementing agencies. Results have implications for policy and administrative restructuring in the primary health sector, as well as for improved funding allocation for the provision of reproductive health services. The Federal Government and all institutions managing healthcare funds should implement strategies to ensure strong leadership and accountability in health development assistance and practices. Specifically, a special taskforce should be established to co-ordinate and harmonise the development activities targeting improvements in the health and wellbeing of IDPs.In the era of unavailability of computers and internet platform for learning anatomy, Dr Bhagwan Din Chaurasia's textbook on human anatomy was like a boon for the medical students. Dr Chaurasia was the great anatomist of India who published his first textbook in 1979 and since then it is widely read all over the world by the medical students pursuing MBBS. His books are unique in presenting systemic and comprehensive texts of applied anatomy in a simple language with easily reproducible line diagrams. Dr Chaurasia was a rare combination of an excellent teacher and a distinguished research worker. He was also a member of the advisory board of many national and international journals. Although he died at a young age, but his legacy continues through his contributions in the field of anatomy.
