Abstract: Background: Endoscopy is a clinical procedure of inserting a long thin tube carrying a camera into the body to observe organs and tissue inside the body. Since two decades, capsule endoscope has been using as an important tool for diagnosis of Gastro-intestinal diseases. However, the shape of this device is an issue which rises risk of getting struck inside the tract. Therefore, we have designed and developed spherical shaped sensor for wireless endoscopic applications. Materials and Methods: In the new design of wireless endoscopy system, we used CMOS camera as image sensor, LEDs for light source, a reed switch and a pair of batteries. These are covered by transparent and biocompatible polymer in spherical shape.....

Abstract: Prevalence and possible risk factors of Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) among prison inmates in Borno State, Nigeria was investigated. The study was conducted using ELISA tests and a structured questionnaire in 2012. Blood samples were collected from 300 inmates in the three prisons (maximum security prison and two medium security prisons) in Borno State and analysed for HIV antibodies. A structured questionnaire was also administered to the same inmates. Out of the 300 subjects tested, 7(2.3%) tested positive for HIV antibodies, with those aged ≥ 50 years (5.9%) and the male subjects (2.6%) having significantly (p<0.05) higher HIV infection rates. The result further revealed significantly (p<0.05) higher infectivity among the subjects who have acquired higher education. Other factors found to be associated with the infection in this study were those of using sharp objects, practice of homosexuality and knowledge of HIV transmission. This study therefore underscores the need for prison authorities to focus more on intervention initiatives among the prisoners in the study area.

Abstract: Menstruation is the most striking event in the process of female puberty, which in turn is a part of adolescence. Studies have shown that approximately 10% of women lose more than 1.4 mg of iron per day through menstrual bleeding (Li et al, 2011). 71 adolescent girls were part of this study. Hemoglobin level was obtained by using standard method (Sahli's haemoglobinometer; acid haematin method). The data was subjected to statistical analysis. Mean hemoglobin (Hb) level of on menstruation (10.92±1.18 (mg/dl) is significantly lower than after menstruation. The blood loss during menstruation results in a negative iron load in women and increases the risk for developing iron-deficiency anemia (Silotry, 2011).

Abstract: The gamut health care delivery system has undergone dramatic shifts in care settings globally in the recent past. More and more patients are receiving professional care at home following discharge from hospitals, skilled-care facilities and rehabilitation centers. Home care has become an integral part of patient recovery especially among the long stay patients. Skilled nursing care delivered at patient's home may prevent or limit costly readmissions back to hospitals. There are few other adverse events which are likely to happen at hospital settings like patient fall, developing HAI etc can be totally prevented in home environment by one to one care which unloads the financial burden on both sides. However, there is one area which is left unnoticed is infections acquired at home like.....
