Women who had given birth in the last five years were selected using a purposive sampling method. Key findings of the study suggest that women lack awareness of child spacing capabilities (57%) and the unmet need for family planning is comparatively higher. More than half of the women face domestic violence that curtails their capabilities to avail reproductive healthcare services. It also reduces the immediate wellbeing of their children. AUPM-170 order Women in this study lack control over the decision on reproductive healthcare. Due to this, women lack social and political freedom. The Government of India has taken fewer initiatives to promote effective reproductive healthcare services. Also, there is limited awareness in the rehabilitation colonies on protection from domestic violence.PURPOSE To compare demographics, clinical presentation, comorbidities, urinary profiles, and treatment responses between interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS) patients with and without Hunner lesions (HL). METHODS We performed a systematic review of literature in PubMed® in February 2019. Publications were included if they compared data between IC/BPS patients with and without HL, yielding 59 articles. Meta-analysis was performed on a subset of clinical characteristics. RESULTS Meta-analysis showed that IC/BPS patients with HL were significantly older (MD=6.7 years, 95%CI 2.0-11.3, p=0.005), reported higher urinary frequency (MD=3.2/day, 95%CI 1.1-5.4, p=0.003), nocturia (MD=1.0/night, 95%CI 0.1-2.0, p=0.034), and IC Symptom Index (MD=2.2, 95%CI 1.4-3.0, p less then 0.001), but lower cystometric bladder capacity (MD= -113mL, 95%CI -164 to -61 mL, p less then 0.001) compared to IC/BPS patients without HL. There were no differences in pain scores (p=0.105), symptom duration (p=0.2), or sex (p=0.83) between the two groups. While some studies reported higher rates of comorbid pain syndromes (e.g., fibromyalgia) among patients without HL, overall results were conflicting. Patients with HL had higher urinary levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines/chemokines (CXCL10, NGF, IL-6, IL-8, MIF), luminal nitric oxide (NO), and responded well to endoscopic treatment of the Hunner lesions (e.g. fulguration or triamcinolone injection). In comparative studies, IC/BPS patients with HL responded better to oral cyclosporine A than those without HL. CONCLUSIONS Systematic review and meta-analysis demonstrated significant differences in demographics, clinical presentation, urinary marker profiles, and treatment responses between patients with and without HL, suggesting that they may represent two distinct clinical phenotypes. Studies are needed to investigate their mechanistic differences.Background Cochlear implant extrusion as a result of infection is an uncommon, but serious complication, which can lead to implant removal as the ultimate solution.Objectives (1) to identify the incidence of cochlear implant extrusion and its causes, (2) to report our management of patients presenting skin complications after cochlear implant surgery (3) to propose new therapeutical options with hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT).Materials and methods A retrospective analysis of medical documentation of 1250 patients who were operated on with cochlear implants in our department between 1993 and 2015. The medical charts of 25 patients were selected due to reported skin flap complications resulting in CI extrusion. Five of those patients were subsequently removed from the study because of no infection signs.Results Non-traumatic cochlear implant extrusion occurred in 1.6% of implanted patients, and secondary treatment was effective in 90% of all cases (18 of 20 patients). HBOT as additional treatment was applied in 9 patients.Conclusions Hyperbaric oxygen therapy can be considered as safe adjuvant treatment option in individual cases of proceeding with cochlear implant extrusion with signs of wound infection.Significance HBOT may contribute to reducing the need for cochlear implant explantation due to infectious skin flap complication.Coagulase-positive Staphylococci (CoPS) can exist as commensals in humans, companion and food-producing animals, but can cause severe or even lethal diseases. Exchange of these bacteria between humans and animals has been described. Special attention has been focused on Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus, but other CoPS can also represent an important threat. In addition to significant antimicrobial resistance, these bacteria may carry a plethora of virulence factors - molecules that allow bacteria to establish on or within a host and increase their ability to cause disease. These virulence factors have been widely described in S. aureus but information about other species of CoPS is scarce. The aim of this paper is to review the recent literature about the virulence factors of non-aureus CoPS of animal origin. Their possible effects on human health are also described. The role and prevalence of different virulence factors including leukocidins, hemolysins, adhesins, enterotoxins, exfoliative and toxic shock syndrome toxins as well as superantigen-like proteins are addressed. The effect of these virulence factors on human health is also described. The possibility of misdiagnosis of species of CoPS has been demonstrated in human clinical samples. Prevalence of zoonotic infections could be higher than thought and medical laboratories should be aware of these other staphylococcal species. In keeping with the 'One Health' approach to animal and human disease, medical professionals, veterinarians and health workers should be aware of the risks derived from exposure to these bacteria in people in close contact with animals, including pet owners, farmers and veterinarians themselves.Patients with dementia may be discharged from hospice if their condition stabilizes. The loss of professional support and an already complex grief process needs careful attention. A live discharge presents a unique experience for each hospice patient, caregiver, and hospice team, which varies from traditional bereavement theories used to describe the grieving process. This article explores live discharge from hospice for caregivers of adults with dementia through a theoretical lens of Symbolic Interactionism (SI) and Attachment Theory (AT). The theories of SI and AT support and assist in understanding the experience of caregivers who lose hospice support due to ineligibility. In addition, caregivers watch the gradual deterioration and psychological loss of someone with dementia while they remain alive described as an ambiguous loss. Ambiguous loss as a subset of traditional bereavement theories provides a framework for this exploration and provides a relevant illustration of the complex needs. This article will conclude with implications for social work practice.
