Abstract: Background: Mental disorders are prevalent in all region, countries and societies. Though science and technology have advanced, peoples continue live in stressful situation. This continuous stress and strain naturally leads to physical and mental illness. Mental illness has received very little attention.

Abstract: Background: Cancer is a group of diseases characterized by the uncontrolled growth and spread of abnormal cells. If the spread is not controlled, it can result in death. Cancer is caused by both external factors like tobacco usage, infectious organisms, chemicals, radiation and internal factors like inherited mutations, hormones, immune conditions, and mutations that occur from metabolism.1 Sleep is the basic human need; it is universal biological process common to all the people. Human spend about one third of their lives asleep. We require sleep for more reasons: to cope with daily stresses, to prevent fatigue, to conserve energy, to restore the mind and body, to enjoy life more fully. Sleep can be defined as a normal state of altered consciousness during which the body rests; it is characterized.......

Abstract: Background: In Bangladesh, cycle rickshaws are more helpful than the other public vehicles like auto carts, taxis and transports. Urban slum area employment relies upon to a great extent upon rickshaws in Bangladesh. In numerous Asian urban communities, cycle rickshaws are broadly utilized and give fundamental work to the recent immigrant's impoverished from rural areas. The majority of the cart pullers are migratory in nature and lives in unhygienic day to day environments. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted among the rickshaw pullers at the three areas of Dhaka city, from July 2018 to September 2018. The study was descriptive cross-sectional study. Quantitative data was collected by anthropometric.........

Abstract: Moringa oleifera, which is commonly referred to as "Moringa" had been widely cultivated and it is the only genus in the family Moringaceae. It is an exceptionally nutritious vegetable tree with a variety of potential uses. The Moringa oleifera seeds were gotten from a matured Moringa tree in Ile-Ife, Osun State, Nigeria. The seeds were extracted using Soxhlet apparatus method with methanol as the solvent for extraction. The proximate analysis of the whole seeds and oil was determined according to methods of A.O.A.C. (2010). Also, the physicochemical properties of the oil were carried out. All assays were carried out in triplicate, and the means and standard deviation were determined using SPSS version 20. This showed the nutrient composition presents in the Moringa oleifera whole seeds and oil. The result of the proximate analysis showed that the moisture content in......

Abstract: Background: The decision of breastfeeding is mainly based on the mother's desire, preferences and dedication, past experiences, cultural influences and social factors. To some extent, health facility related factors also has influence on the effectiveness and efficiency of breastfeeding as a practice. Research shows that infants who breastfeed are less likely to become sick thus reduction in the mortality rate of children under 5 years of age. Methodology: The study was a mixed study where both qualitative and quantitative methods were used to explore the determinants of breastfeeding among mothers in Migori County Referral Hospital. Ethical considerations were adhered to. The study population was mothers who have babies of ages 2 weeks – 18 months, while the target population was mothers with babies of 2 weeks-18 months attending the mother child health clinic-child welfare..........
