Introduction Womens health is often suffering from gynaecological problems between puberty and post menopause. This will have an impression on their sexual and reproductive health. Many ladies find that persistent discharge is often uncomfortable. Objectives The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of self reported vaginal discharge, its perceived causes, and any associated symptoms among reproductive aged women.Methods A community based cross sectional study was conducted among women of the reproductive age group 15 45 years from the village of Kondancherry who met the inclusion criteria and were recruited using an appropriate sampling method Convenient . Formal approval was obtained from the village authorities and received approval from the institutions ethics committee. A self structured questionnaire was wont to collect data during a face to face interview. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyse the data.Result Out of a total of 140 women who were interviewed for the presence of abnormal vaginal discharge, 100 71 were found to possess abnormal discharge. The prevalence of discharge was discovered to be quite high. Most of the ladies had a whitish vaginal discharge 76 , 59 had odourless discharge and 43 of women experience cheesy sticky in consistency of discharge. A majority of respondents 26 attributed the cause to excessive body heat, 22 said it was due to eating hot food, and about 13 of women cited stress. The foremost coexisting associated symptoms with vaginal discharge were itching, lower abdominal pain, and backache.Conclusion The stigma, shame, and embarrassment related to with any genital disorder deter many women and girls from seeking medical help. It must be identified and given great importance. Cecyli. C | Yogalakshmi.

EVALUATION OF VARIOUS CAUSES OF LEUCORRHOEA IN SEXUALLY ACTIVE FEMALESElu Malai
This study evaluated the various causes of leucorrhea in 100 sexually active females aged 15-45 years in India. Candida was found to be the most common cause of leucorrhea (24% of cases), followed by bacterial vaginosis (20% of cases). Trichomoniasis was found in 8% of cases. No cause was found for 48% of cases, likely representing physiological discharge. Maintaining proper perineal hygiene and using condoms were recommended to reduce prevalence of infectious leucorrhea and reproductive tract infections.

Background A women or a mother faces a lot of problems as she goes through the period of pregnancy and childbirth. Urinary Incontinence UI is a relatively common condition in middle aged and older women. Although it is not a life threatening condition, UI negatively impacts health related quality of life QOL by affecting daily living activities, sexual and interpersonal relationship, psychological wellbeing and social interaction. UI affects from 15 50 of community dwelling women of all ages. Women who undergo repeated vaginal delivery have a great risk for developing Urinary incontinence. Hence the investigator had taken up a study to assess the health – seeking behaviour and quality of life among multipara women having urinary incontinence at selected community of Gwalior. Objectives To identify the health seeking behaviour of multipara women having urinary incontinence. To determine the quality of life of multipara women having urinary incontinence. To find the association of health seeking behaviour scores with selected demographic variables. To find the association of quality of life scores with selected demographic variable. Method Descriptive design was used for the study. The study was carried out in selected rural community at Mangalore. A sample consisted of 60 multipara women who met the inclusive criteria and the sample was selected using purposive sampling technique. Formal written permission was obtained from the authorities of the concerned PHC informed was obtained from multipara women a conduct the study. The health seeking behaviour score was obtained using structured questionnaire and quality of life of women with urinary incontinence was determined be a structured rating scale. The data collection was analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. An information pamphlet is given to subject after data collection. Result The demographic data revealed that majority of the women 46 were in the age group of 51 or above years. Around half of women 46 had delivered more than tree and some 30 delivered thrice, majority of women 54 had primary school education, and most of the women 70 were unskilled workers. Majority of the women 64 had normal vaginal delivery. Most of the women 55 had a family income of 2000. The health –seeking behaviour was average 53.3 for majority of the women, about 25 had good health seeking behaviour, and the rest had poor health seeking behaviour. The overall health seeking behaviour was average with SD1.873. Most of the women 71 had mild urinary incontinence with mean 5.28, median 4.00, and SD 13.99. There was no significant association of quality of life score with selected demographic variables like age, number of deliveries, educational status, occupation, and monthly income.

Fuzzy Logic means for Intelligent Diagnosis of Obstetrics Fistula Disease EECJOURNAL
Obstetrics fistula is one of the most serious and tragic childbirth injuries. It is a hole between the birth canal and bladder or rectum caused by prolonged, obstructed labour, without access to timely, high-quality medical treatment. It leaves women leaking urine, faeces or both and often leads to chronic medical problems, depression, social isolation and deepening poverty. The goal of this research is to develop a Fuzzy logic means for intelligent diagnosis of Obstetrics fistula disease. In the study we presented the architecture of the FCM system for the diagnosis of Obstetrics Fistula. It comprises of knowledge base system, fuzzy c-means inference engine and decision support system. The knowledge base system holds the symptoms for Obstetrics Fistula. The expert system is developed in an environment characterized by Microsoft XP Professional operating system, Microsoft Access Database Management System, Visual BASIC Application Language and Microsoft Excel.
Gynecological and Nutritional Risk Factors for Female Infertilityijtsrd
Backgrounds Besides aging, there are a number of modifiable lifestyle risk factors, such as smoking, elevated consumption of caffeine and alcohol, stress, chronic exposure to environmental pollutants, hormonal imbalance and other nutritional habits exert a negative impact on a women's fertility. The aim of present work was to study the gynecological and nutritional risk factors implicated in developing female infertility. Methodology This cross sectional study comprised of 109 women with infertility either primary or secondary . Data were collected using a questionnaire and in face to face interviews. The questionnaire include questions about risk factors, food intake history by 24 hours recall and modified FFQ beside data on anthropometric. Data was presented as either mean ± SD or frequencies and percentages according to the natural of data. Chi square test was used at a 0.05. Results Of the total samples 109 women with infertility aged between 17 40 years old shown that the peak age at 18 25 years old. The gynecological risk factors shown no significant differences. However, the obtained biochemical result revealed that abnormal high levels of estrogen, TSH, T4, LH, and testosterone, and abnormal low levels of FSH, and T3. The nutritional risk factors have been determined include low levels of serum vitamin D, and serum ferritin. In addition, women with infertility shown to have heavier body weight, overall BMI was 31.5 kg m2 by which the majorities of women found significant obesity P 0.05 , have high risk of waist circumferences and also WHR P 0.05 . The result of present work found that food intake and food pattern of women have low energy intake and their dietary habits shown lack fruits and fish intake with increased junk food consumption P 0.05 . Conclusion The gynecological risk factors can be modified. The correct balance of energy, vitamin D and iron in the daily diet provides essential benefit for an optimal female reproductive health and reduces the risk of infertility. In this context, the association of certain risk factor to develop of infertility could be ameliorate by increase intake of balance diet or triggers can be eliminated.

Menstrual hygiene refers to access to menstrual hygiene products to absorb or collect the flow of blood during menstruation, privacy to change the materials, and access to facilities to dispose of used menstrual management materials. It can also include the broader systemic factors that link menstruation with health, well being, gender equality, education, equity, empowerment can be particularly challenging for girls and women in developing countries, where clean water and toilet facilities are often inadequate. Menstrual can be a barrier to education for many girls, as a lack of effective sanitary products restricts girl's involvement in education and social activities.In this research a descriptive study was done to assess the knowledge and practice regarding menstrual hygiene among 1st year nursing students. The research design selected for the study was non experimental test design. Data were collected from 40 students of nursing. Sample was selected by convenience sampling method.Result shows majority of the first year nursing students in this study belongs to the age group of 17 20years that is 31 77.5 . The study shows the majority of the students 21 52.5 were belongs to urban were belong to rural area. the majority of the students 24 60 were from joint family, 16 40 were from nuclear family and 0 from broken family. 1st year nursing student's father 35 87.5 having formal education, 5 12.5 .

Cervical cancer is one of the most common cancers in women worldwide. This case-control study assessed risk factors for cervical cancer in 75 women diagnosed with cervical cancer and 75 age-matched controls in India. The study found significant associations between cervical cancer and factors such as lower education, rural residence, use of old cloth sanitary napkins, early age at marriage, husband having multiple partners, lack of washing after intercourse, and poor access to healthcare services. Daily bathing and bathing during menstruation were found to be preventive. Logistic regression showed that lack of healthcare utilization and presence of sexually transmitted infections were significantly associated with cervical cancer. The study aims to identify cervical cancer risk factors to enable early screening and diagnosis.
Trichomoniasis in the women is usually asymptotic however the disease might be manifested as vaginitis, cervicitis, urethritis, pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), and adverse birth outcomes. Methods: A case-control hospital based study conducted at Kassala Hospitals, eastern Sudan during the period from 1st January 2015 to 30th June 2015 to investigate the prevalence rate of Trichomoniasis during pregnancy and its impact on neonatal outcome. Results: During the study period there were 199 infected women with T vaginalis among 2374 deliveries yielding a prevalence rate of 8.3%. The vast majority (140/199, 70.4%) was asymptomatic while the rest presented with vaginal discharge (33/199, 16.6%), itching (16/199, 8%) and dysuria (10/199, 5%). With regard to membranes status and neonatal outcome higher proportion of infected women presented with premature ruptured membranes (30, 15.1% Vs 6, 3%; P = 0.000) and gave preterm birth (31, 15.6% Vs 7, 3.5%; P= 0.000). Using logistic regression analysis the study showed significant association between Trichomoniasis, preterm birth (CI= 1.1 � 13.6, OR= 3.9, P= 0.030) and premature rupture of the amniotic sac before 4 centimeter dilatation (CI= 1.0 3.2, OR= 1.8, P= 0.025). Conclusion: Trichomoniasis is highly prevalent among parturient women in eastern Sudan, and there is significant association between Trichomoniasis, preterm birth and premature ruptured membranes.

The references discuss factors like asymptomatic bacteriuria, antimicrobial treatment, genital hygiene practices, sexual activity, fluid intake, constipation, post-menopausal status, and use of D-mannose or estradiol treatments that may impact risk of UTIs. Many of the references are randomized controlled trials or literature reviews that aim to determine effective prevention strategies and risk factors for recurrent UTIs.
This document discusses a case report of a woman who suffered intestinal injury from an illegal abortion. The key points are:
1. The 28-year-old woman underwent an unsafe, illegal abortion by an untrained nurse, which perforated her uterus and injured her intestine, leading to sepsis.
2. She required an emergency laparotomy where a 2cm rent was found in her posterior uterine wall and faecal matter was leaking from her bowel. Her intestine was repaired and a loop ileostomy was performed.
3. Unsafe abortions frequently occur in developing countries due to lack of education, social stigma around abortion, and restrictive abortion laws. This can lead to serious complications like infection, hemor
Analyzing the Works about Causes and Factors of InfertilityYogeshIJTSRD
Infertility is the inability to become pregnant after one year of intercourse without contraception involving a male and female partner. The frequency of the female factor is 62-75 , and that of the male factor is 28-45 . Moreover, impaired reproductive function in both partners is observed in every third infertile couple. primary infertility the absence of pregnancy in the anamnesis, and secondary infertility established in the presence of pregnancy in the past. If possible, the onset of pregnancy is characterized by absolute and relative infertility. They say about absolute infertility when the possibility of pregnancy is completely excluded there is no uterus, ovaries, or there are severe anomalies in the development of the genitals. By relative infertility is meant the preservation of fertility, but the inability to have children in the particular marriage in question for example, male infertility . Magzumova N. M. | Gadoeva D.

What other assessment data would be helpful for the nurse practitioner to have?
The diagnosis of UTI by clinical criteria alone has an error rate of approximately 33%; therefore, the NP should be vigilant and pay attention to additional assessment data (Allen, Manilal & Gezmu, 2019). For example, patient population is typically premenopausal women of any age with risk factors of diabetes, diaphragm use, especially those with spermicide, history of UTI or UTI during childhood, mother or female relatives with history of UTIs, and sexual intercourse.
What are the organisms most likely to cause an UTI?
Urinary tract infections are primarily caused by gram-negative bacteria, but gram-positive pathogens may also be involved. More than 95% of uncomplicated UTIs are monobacterial. The most common pathogen for uncomplicated UTIs is E.coli (75%–95%), followed by Klebsiella pneumoniae, Staphylococcus saprophyticus, Enterococcus faecalis, group B streptococci, and Proteus mirabilis (Bollestad, Vik, Grude& Lindbæk, 2018).
What is the pharmacological treatment for Shelly? Keep in mind safe dosing.
The first step in treating Shelly is to classify the type of infection, such as acute uncomplicated cystitis or pyelonephritis, acute complicated cystitis or pyelonephritis, CA-UTI, asymptomatic bacteriuria (ASB), or prostatitis (Allen, Manilal & Gezmu, 2019). The Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) recommends that empiric regimens for uncomplicated UTIs be guided by the local susceptibility, particularly to E. coli. They recommend considering trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole if the local resistance rate is less than 20% and fluoroquinolones if the resistance rate is less than 10% (Bollestad, Vik, Grude& Lindbæk, 2018). The empiric regimen for complicated UTIs should also be guided by local susceptibility trends of uropathogens, and definitive regimens should be tailored according to susceptibility results, when available.
What are the teaching priorities for Shelly and her mother prior to her discharge from the clinic?
The teaching priority for Shelly is hydration. During UTI management, hydration dilutes the uropathogen and removes infected urine by frequent bladder emptying. However, the bacterial count returns to the prehydration level after hydration is discontinued. Potential problems with forcing fluids include urinary retention in a patient with a partially obstructed bladder and decreased urinary antibiotic concentration.

This document discusses the presentation, diagnosis and management of non-HIV sexually transmitted infections (STIs) during pregnancy. It notes that STIs like chlamydia, gonorrhea and trichomoniasis are common in young women and can have serious consequences for the pregnant woman and fetus if untreated. While initial antenatal screening focuses on HIV, hepatitis and syphilis, other STIs may be missed without considering a woman's risk factors and testing appropriately. The document provides guidance on risk assessment, indications for testing specific STIs, and treatment and partner management during pregnancy to help optimize outcomes for both mother and baby.
This document discusses abortion, including definitions, types, causes, and management. It begins by defining abortion and providing statistics on incidence. It then describes types of abortion, differentiating between spontaneous abortion (miscarriage) and induced abortion. Biological causes of spontaneous abortion are outlined, including fetal factors like genetic abnormalities and maternal factors like infections, endocrine issues, and anatomical abnormalities. The document also discusses legal issues surrounding abortion, challenges with access to services, and consequences of unsafe abortion. Approaches to addressing unsafe abortion, such as ensuring availability of services and training of health workers, are presented. Causes and management of unintended pregnancy as well as post-abortion care are also summarized.

The problem is falls among elderly and its relation with their health problems and surrounding environmental factors. Falls are one of the most common problems in the elderly around the world. A fall is defined as an event which results in a person coming to rest inadvertently on the ground or floor or at another lower level. Currently, there is no numerical criterion that classifies people as "elderly." However, the United Nations has determined that the age of 60+ should be used to refer to people as being "elderly. This is in spite of the fact that most developed countries take the chronological age of 65 years to define the ‘elderly. In the United States, falls are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality among mature adults. It is the second leading cause of accidental or unintentional injury/death after road traffic injuries. For example, of the 11 million adults aged 65 years and over living in the UK, around 30% of community-dwelling mature adults fall at least once in their lifetime. It was found in a study conducted in the Eastern Mediterranean Region that 30%–40% of adults older than 65 years residing in the community fall each year. The rates were higher in hospitalized patients and nursing home residents. Moreover, the incidence of falls rose steadily from middle-age onward peaking in persons older than 80 years.
Falls may be associated with various contiguous environmental hazards such as carpets and rugs. Most falls (72.8%) occur at home. Women represented 80.2% of fall injury victims. Not surprisingly, perhaps, the most common location for fall injuries in the home is the bathroom (35.7%). Other environmental hazards include poor stairway design and disrepair, inadequate lighting, clutter, slippery floors, unsecured mats, and the lack of nonskid surfaces in bathtubs. There is a paucity of literature on the important topic of falls amongst the elderly in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. However, our study will focus on estimating the true extent of falls among the elderly within the community alone and examine the relationship between the health status of elderly people as well as the impact of the environment on their propensity to experience falls.

This document discusses the link between poor quality sanitary pads, gynecological health problems, and gender-based violence in Zambia. It notes that 60% of GBV cases are related to gynecological issues, which are often caused by the chemicals and materials used in low-quality pads. These pads contain dioxin from chlorine bleaching that can cause cervical cancer, fibroids, and hormonal imbalances over time. They also breed bacteria due to a lack of airflow. This leads to infections that cause further health issues. As a result, women experience psychological abuse from partners who suspect infidelity due to infections or infertility related to the health problems. The document argues that use of poor quality pads
Determinants of Maternal mortality in SomaliaOmar Osman Eid
This document analyzes the determinants of maternal mortality in Somalia from 1990-2015. It finds that socioeconomic factors like poverty and lack of education, as well as cultural factors like gender inequality, contribute significantly to maternal deaths in Somalia. Physical barriers like limited transportation and long distances to health facilities also restrict access to prenatal and postnatal care. The document concludes that increasing GDP, lowering fertility rates, reducing HIV prevalence, expanding education for girls, discouraging early pregnancies, and increasing access to healthcare can help reduce Somalia's high maternal mortality ratio.

Cervical cancer is one of the most common cancers in women worldwide. This case-control study assessed risk factors for cervical cancer in 75 women diagnosed with cervical cancer and 75 age-matched controls in India. The study found significant associations between cervical cancer and factors such as lower education, rural residence, use of old cloth sanitary napkins, early age at marriage, husband having multiple partners, lack of washing after intercourse, and poor access to healthcare services. Daily bathing and bathing during menstruation were found to be preventive. Logistic regression showed that lack of healthcare utilization and presence of sexually transmitted infections were significantly associated with cervical cancer. The study aims to identify cervical cancer risk factors to enable early screening and diagnosis.
Trichomoniasis in the women is usually asymptotic however the disease might be manifested as vaginitis, cervicitis, urethritis, pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), and adverse birth outcomes. Methods: A case-control hospital based study conducted at Kassala Hospitals, eastern Sudan during the period from 1st January 2015 to 30th June 2015 to investigate the prevalence rate of Trichomoniasis during pregnancy and its impact on neonatal outcome. Results: During the study period there were 199 infected women with T vaginalis among 2374 deliveries yielding a prevalence rate of 8.3%. The vast majority (140/199, 70.4%) was asymptomatic while the rest presented with vaginal discharge (33/199, 16.6%), itching (16/199, 8%) and dysuria (10/199, 5%). With regard to membranes status and neonatal outcome higher proportion of infected women presented with premature ruptured membranes (30, 15.1% Vs 6, 3%; P = 0.000) and gave preterm birth (31, 15.6% Vs 7, 3.5%; P= 0.000). Using logistic regression analysis the study showed significant association between Trichomoniasis, preterm birth (CI= 1.1 � 13.6, OR= 3.9, P= 0.030) and premature rupture of the amniotic sac before 4 centimeter dilatation (CI= 1.0 3.2, OR= 1.8, P= 0.025). Conclusion: Trichomoniasis is highly prevalent among parturient women in eastern Sudan, and there is significant association between Trichomoniasis, preterm birth and premature ruptured membranes.

This document discusses a case report of a woman who suffered intestinal injury from an illegal abortion. The key points are:
1. The 28-year-old woman underwent an unsafe, illegal abortion by an untrained nurse, which perforated her uterus and injured her intestine, leading to sepsis.
2. She required an emergency laparotomy where a 2cm rent was found in her posterior uterine wall and faecal matter was leaking from her bowel. Her intestine was repaired and a loop ileostomy was performed.
3. Unsafe abortions frequently occur in developing countries due to lack of education, social stigma around abortion, and restrictive abortion laws. This can lead to serious complications like infection, hemor
Analyzing the Works about Causes and Factors of InfertilityYogeshIJTSRD
Infertility is the inability to become pregnant after one year of intercourse without contraception involving a male and female partner. The frequency of the female factor is 62-75 , and that of the male factor is 28-45 . Moreover, impaired reproductive function in both partners is observed in every third infertile couple. primary infertility the absence of pregnancy in the anamnesis, and secondary infertility established in the presence of pregnancy in the past. If possible, the onset of pregnancy is characterized by absolute and relative infertility. They say about absolute infertility when the possibility of pregnancy is completely excluded there is no uterus, ovaries, or there are severe anomalies in the development of the genitals. By relative infertility is meant the preservation of fertility, but the inability to have children in the particular marriage in question for example, male infertility . Magzumova N. M. | Gadoeva D.

What other assessment data would be helpful for the nurse practitioner to have?
The diagnosis of UTI by clinical criteria alone has an error rate of approximately 33%; therefore, the NP should be vigilant and pay attention to additional assessment data (Allen, Manilal & Gezmu, 2019). For example, patient population is typically premenopausal women of any age with risk factors of diabetes, diaphragm use, especially those with spermicide, history of UTI or UTI during childhood, mother or female relatives with history of UTIs, and sexual intercourse.
What are the organisms most likely to cause an UTI?
Urinary tract infections are primarily caused by gram-negative bacteria, but gram-positive pathogens may also be involved. More than 95% of uncomplicated UTIs are monobacterial. The most common pathogen for uncomplicated UTIs is E.coli (75%–95%), followed by Klebsiella pneumoniae, Staphylococcus saprophyticus, Enterococcus faecalis, group B streptococci, and Proteus mirabilis (Bollestad, Vik, Grude& Lindbæk, 2018).
What is the pharmacological treatment for Shelly? Keep in mind safe dosing.
The first step in treating Shelly is to classify the type of infection, such as acute uncomplicated cystitis or pyelonephritis, acute complicated cystitis or pyelonephritis, CA-UTI, asymptomatic bacteriuria (ASB), or prostatitis (Allen, Manilal & Gezmu, 2019). The Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) recommends that empiric regimens for uncomplicated UTIs be guided by the local susceptibility, particularly to E. coli. They recommend considering trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole if the local resistance rate is less than 20% and fluoroquinolones if the resistance rate is less than 10% (Bollestad, Vik, Grude& Lindbæk, 2018). The empiric regimen for complicated UTIs should also be guided by local susceptibility trends of uropathogens, and definitive regimens should be tailored according to susceptibility results, when available.
What are the teaching priorities for Shelly and her mother prior to her discharge from the clinic?
The teaching priority for Shelly is hydration. During UTI management, hydration dilutes the uropathogen and removes infected urine by frequent bladder emptying. However, the bacterial count returns to the prehydration level after hydration is discontinued. Potential problems with forcing fluids include urinary retention in a patient with a partially obstructed bladder and decreased urinary antibiotic concentration.

Post this as your Initial response. (Essential I-IX).
The problem is falls among elderly and its relation with their health problems and surrounding environmental factors. Falls are one of the most common problems in the elderly around the world. A fall is defined as an event which results in a person coming to rest inadvertently on the ground or floor or at another lower level. Currently, there is no numerical criterion that classifies people as "elderly." However, the United Nations has determined that the age of 60+ should be used to refer to people as being "elderly. This is in spite of the fact that most developed countries take the chronological age of 65 years to define the ‘elderly. In the United States, falls are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality among mature adults. It is the second leading cause of accidental or unintentional injury/death after road traffic injuries. For example, of the 11 million adults aged 65 years and over living in the UK, around 30% of community-dwelling mature adults fall at least once in their lifetime. It was found in a study conducted in the Eastern Mediterranean Region that 30%–40% of adults older than 65 years residing in the community fall each year. The rates were higher in hospitalized patients and nursing home residents. Moreover, the incidence of falls rose steadily from middle-age onward peaking in persons older than 80 years.
Falls may be associated with various contiguous environmental hazards such as carpets and rugs. Most falls (72.8%) occur at home. Women represented 80.2% of fall injury victims. Not surprisingly, perhaps, the most common location for fall injuries in the home is the bathroom (35.7%). Other environmental hazards include poor stairway design and disrepair, inadequate lighting, clutter, slippery floors, unsecured mats, and the lack of nonskid surfaces in bathtubs. There is a paucity of literature on the important topic of falls amongst the elderly in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. However, our study will focus on estimating the true extent of falls among the elderly within the community alone and examine the relationship between the health status of elderly people as well as the impact of the environment on their propensity to experience falls.

Assess Perspective and Knowledge of Healthcare Providers Towards Elehealth in...ijtsrd
Background and Objective Telehealth has become a well known tool for the delivery of health care in Saudi Arabia, and the perspective and knowledge of healthcare providers are influential in the implementation, adoption and advancement of the method. This systematic review was conducted to examine the current literature base regarding telehealth and the related healthcare professional perspective and knowledge in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Materials and Methods This systematic review was conducted by searching 7 databases including, MEDLINE, CINHAL, Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed, PsycINFO, and ProQuest Central. Studies on healthcare practitioners telehealth knowledge and perspectives published in English in Saudi Arabia from 2000 to 2023 were included. Boland directed this comprehensive review. The researchers examined each connected study using the AXIS tool, which evaluates cross sectional systematic reviews. Narrative synthesis was used to summarise and convey the data. Results Out of 1840 search results, 10 studies were included. Positive outlook and limited knowledge among providers were seen across trials. Healthcare professionals like telehealth for its ability to improve quality, access, and delivery, save time and money, and be successful. Age, gender, occupation, and work experience also affect health workers knowledge. In Saudi Arabia, healthcare professionals face inadequate expert assistance, patient privacy, internet connection concerns, lack of training courses, lack of telehealth understanding, and high costs while performing telemedicine. Conclusions Healthcare practitioners telehealth perceptions and knowledge were examined in this systematic study. Its collection of concerned experts different personal attitudes and expertise would help enhance telehealths implementation in Saudi Arabia, develop its healthcare delivery alternative, and eliminate frequent problems.

The Impact of Digital Media on the Decentralization of Power and the Erosion ...ijtsrd
The impact of digital media on the distribution of power and the weakening of traditional gatekeepers has gained considerable attention in recent years. The adoption of digital technologies and the internet has resulted in declining influence and power for traditional gatekeepers such as publishing houses and news organizations. Simultaneously, digital media has facilitated the emergence of new voices and players in the media industry. Digital medias impact on power decentralization and gatekeeper erosion is visible in several ways. One significant aspect is the democratization of information, which enables anyone with an internet connection to publish and share content globally, leading to citizen journalism and bypassing traditional gatekeepers. Another aspect is the disruption of conventional media industry business models, as traditional organizations struggle to adjust to the decrease in advertising revenue and the rise of digital platforms. Alternative business models, such as subscription models and crowdfunding, have become more prevalent, leading to the emergence of new players. Overall, the impact of digital media on the distribution of power and the weakening of traditional gatekeepers has brought about significant changes in the media landscape and the way information is shared. Further research is required to fully comprehend the implications of these changes and their impact on society.

Comparative Analysis of Total Corporate Disclosure of Selected IT Companies o...ijtsrd
Disclosure is a process through which a business enterprise communicates with external parties. A corporate disclosure is communication of financial and non financial information of the activities of a business enterprise to the interested entities. Corporate disclosure is done through publishing annual reports. So corporate disclosure through annual reports plays a vital role in the life of all the companies and provides valuable information to investors. The basic objectives of corporate disclosure is to give a true and fair view of companies to the parties related either directly or indirectly like owner, government, creditors, shareholders etc. in the companies act, provisions have been made about mandatory and voluntary disclosure. The IT sector in India is rapidly growing, the trend to invest in the IT sector is rising and employment opportunities in IT sectors are also increasing. Therefore the IT sector is expected to have fair, full and adequate disclosure of all information. Unfair and incomplete disclosure may adversely affect the entire economy. A research study on disclosure practices of IT companies could play an important role in this regard. Hence, the present research study has been done to study and review comparative analysis of total corporate disclosure of selected IT companies of India and to put forward overall findings and suggestions with a view to increase disclosure score of these companies. The researcher hopes that the present research study will be helpful to all selected Companies for improving level of corporate disclosure through annual reports as well as the government, creditors, investors, all business organizations and upcoming researcher for comparative analyses of level of corporate disclosure with special reference to selected IT companies.

“One Language sets you in a corridor for life. Two languages open every door along the way” Frank Smith English as a foreign language or as a second language has been ruling in India since the period of Lord Macaulay. But the question is how much we teach or learn English properly in our culture. Is there any scope to use English as a language rather than a subject How much we learn or teach English without any interference of mother language specially in the classroom teaching learning scenario in West Bengal By considering all these issues the researcher has attempted in this article to focus on the effective teaching learning process comparing to other traditional strategies in the field of English curriculum at the secondary level to investigate whether they fulfill the present teaching learning requirements or not by examining the validity of the present curriculum of English. The purpose of this study is to focus on the effectiveness of the systematic, scientific, sequential and logical transaction of the course between the teachers and the learners in the perspective of the 5Es programme that is engage, explore, explain, extend and evaluate.

The Role of Mentoring and Its Influence on the Effectiveness of the Teaching ...ijtsrd
This paper reports on a study which was conducted to investigate the role of mentoring and its influence on the effectiveness of the teaching of Physics in secondary schools in the South West Region of Cameroon. The study adopted the convergent parallel mixed methods design, focusing on respondents in secondary schools in the South West Region of Cameroon. Both quantitative and qualitative data were collected, analysed separately, and the results were compared to see if the findings confirm or disconfirm each other. The quantitative analysis found that majority of the respondents 72 of Physics teachers affirmed that they had more experienced colleagues as mentors to help build their confidence, improve their teaching, and help them improve their effectiveness and efficiency in guiding learners’ achievements. Only 28 of the respondents disagreed with these statements. With majority respondents 72 agreeing with the statements, it implies that in most secondary schools, experienced Physics teachers act as mentors to build teachers’ confidence in teaching and improving students’ learning. The interview qualitative data analysis summarized how secondary school Principals use meetings with mentors and mentees to promote mentorship in the school milieu. This has helped strengthen teachers’ classroom practices in secondary schools in the South West Region of Cameroon. With the results confirming each other, the study recommends that mentoring should focus on helping teachers employ social interactions and instructional practices feedback and clarity in teaching that have direct measurable impact on students’ learning achievements.

Design Simulation and Hardware Construction of an Arduino Microcontroller Bas...ijtsrd
This study primarily focuses on the design of a high side buck converter using an Arduino microcontroller. The converter is specifically intended for use in DC DC applications, particularly in standalone solar PV systems where the PV output voltage exceeds the load or battery voltage. To evaluate the performance of the converter, simulation experiments are conducted using Proteus Software. These simulations provide insights into the input and output voltages, currents, powers, and efficiency under different state of charge SoC conditions of a 12V,70Ah rechargeable lead acid battery. Additionally, the hardware design of the converter is implemented, and practical data is collected through operation, monitoring, and recording. By comparing the simulation results with the practical results, the efficiency and performance of the designed converter are assessed. The findings indicate that while the buck converter is suitable for practical use in standalone PV systems, its efficiency is compromised due to a lower output current.

Sustainable Energy by Paul A. Adekunte | Matthew N. O. Sadiku | Janet O. Sadikuijtsrd
Energy becomes sustainable if it meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Some of the definitions of sustainable energy include the considerations of environmental aspects such as greenhouse gas emissions, social, and economic aspects such as energy poverty. Generally far more sustainable than fossil fuel are renewable energy sources such as wind, hydroelectric power, solar, and geothermal energy sources. Worthy of note is that some renewable energy projects, like the clearing of forests to produce biofuels, can cause severe environmental damage. The sustainability of nuclear power which is a low carbon source is highly debated because of concerns about radioactive waste, nuclear proliferation, and accidents. The switching from coal to natural gas has environmental benefits, including a lower climate impact, but could lead to delay in switching to more sustainable options. “Carbon capture and storage” can be built into power plants to remove the carbon dioxide CO2 emissions, but this technology is expensive and has rarely been implemented. Leading non renewable energy sources around the world is fossil fuels, coal, petroleum, and natural gas. Nuclear energy is usually considered another non renewable energy source, although nuclear energy itself is a renewable energy source, but the material used in nuclear power plants is not. The paper addresses the issue of sustainable energy, its attendant benefits to the future generation, and humanity in general. Paul A. Adekunte | Matthew N. O. Sadiku | Janet O.

Concepts for Sudan Survey Act Implementations Executive Regulations and Stand...ijtsrd
This paper aims to outline the executive regulations, survey standards, and specifications required for the implementation of the Sudan Survey Act, and for regulating and organizing all surveying work activities in Sudan. The act has been discussed for more than 5 years. The Land Survey Act was initiated by the Sudan Survey Authority and all official legislations were headed by the Sudan Ministry of Justice till it was issued in 2022. The paper presents conceptual guidelines to be used for the Survey Act implementation and to regulate the survey work practice, standardizing the field surveys, processing, quality control, procedures, and the processes related to survey work carried out by the stakeholders and relevant authorities in Sudan. The conceptual guidelines are meant to improve the quality and harmonization of geospatial data and to aid decision making processes as well as geospatial information systems. The established comprehensive executive regulations will govern and regulate the implementation of the Sudan Survey Geomatics Act in all surveying and mapping practices undertaken by the Sudan Survey Authority SSA and state local survey departments for public or private sector organizations. The targeted standards and specifications include the reference frame, projection, coordinate systems, and the guidelines and specifications that must be followed in the field of survey work, processes, and mapping products. In the last few decades, there has been a growing awareness of the importance of geomatics activities and measurements on the Earths surface in space and time, together with observing and mapping the changes. In such cases, data must be captured promptly, standardized, and obtained with more accuracy and specified in much detail. The paper will also highlight the current situation in Sudan, the degree to which survey standards are used, the problems encountered, and the errors that arise from not using the standards and survey specifications.

Towards the Implementation of the Sudan Interpolated Geoid Model Khartoum Sta...ijtsrd
The discussions between ellipsoid and geoid have invoked many researchers during the recent decades, especially during the GNSS technology era, which had witnessed a great deal of development but still geoid undulation requires more investigations. To figure out a solution for Sudans local geoid, this research has tried to intake the possibility of determining the geoid model by following two approaches, gravimetric and geometrical geoid model determination, by making use of GNSS leveling benchmarks at Khartoum state. The Benchmarks are well distributed in the study area, in which, the horizontal coordinates and the height above the ellipsoid have been observed by GNSS while orthometric heights were carried out using precise leveling. The Global Geopotential Model GGM represented in EGM2008 has been exploited to figure out the geoid undulation at the benchmarks in the study area. This is followed by a fitting process, that has been done to suit the geoid undulation data which has been computed using GNSS leveling data and geoid undulation inspired by the EGM2008. Two geoid surfaces were created after the fitting process to ensure that they are identical and both of them could be counted for getting the same geoid undulation with an acceptable accuracy. In this respect, statistical operation played an important role in ensuring the consistency and integrity of the model by applying cross validation techniques splitting the data into training and testing datasets for building the geoid model and testing its eligibility. The geometrical solution for geoid undulation computation has been utilized by applying straightforward equations that facilitate the calculation of the geoid undulation directly through applying statistical techniques for the GNSS leveling data of the study area to get the common equation parameters values that could be utilized to calculate geoid undulation of any position in the study area within the claimed accuracy. Both systems were checked and proved eligible to be used within the study area with acceptable accuracy which may contribute to solving the geoid undulation problem in the Khartoum area, and be further generalized to determine the geoid model over the entire country, and this could be considered in the future, for regional and continental geoid model.

vaginal discharge have normal vaginal discharge. [2]
Vaginal discharge is one of the most common
gynaecological issues in women, especially during
the reproductive stage.[3]
Changes in colour, consistency, volume, or odour
indicate abnormal vaginal discharge, which may also
include symptoms including itch, soreness, dysuria,
pelvic pain, intermenstrual bleeding, or postcoital
haemorrhage[4]
. The most frequent reason of
abnormal vaginal discharge is infection. 70% of all
causes are associated with bacterial vaginosis (BV),
vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC), or trichomoniasis
(TV) [5]
Of the three causes listed, BV is the most
prevalent and is responsible for up to fifty percent of
infections [4]
. RTIs come in three different forms:
endogenous infections, which are caused by an
overgrowth of bacteria typically found in women's
genital tracts; iatrogenic infections, which are caused
by subpar medical procedures (such as unsafe
abortion or poor delivery techniques); and sexually
transmitted diseases (STDs) and human
immunodeficiency virus (HIV)[6]
. Bacterial vaginosis
(BV), one of the RTIs, is becoming more and more
significant since it illustrates the dysbiotic state of the
vaginal microbiota and makes people more vulnerable
to other STIs. [7,8]
The most common cause of fungal
vulvo-vaginitis is candidial genital infection, and up
to 60% of cases may have asymptomatic microbial
colonisation. It is one of the most frequent causes of
visits in clinical practise and affects women regularly
during their reproductive years, leading to numerous
consultations with an obstetrician or gynaecologist [9]
.
Young age, low socioeconomic status, vaginal
discharge in a prior pregnancy, depression, anaemia,
threatened premature labour, urinary infection, and
hospitalisation in the current pregnancy were the
significant risk variables related [10]
. Infertility, pelvic
inflammatory illness, ectopic pregnancies, intestinal
obstruction, abortion, cervical cancer, HIV
transmission, and marital discord are all effects of
RTIs. [11]
A bigger percentage of RTIs go undetected
and untreated, despite the fact that early detection and
management lessen complications and long-term
consequences. Gynecological chlamydial infections
are asymptotic and go unreported in about 70–80% of
cases. [12]
Female RTIs typically manifest as vaginitis
or cervicitis in the lower genital tract and can cause
symptoms like atypical vaginal discharge, genital
pain, itching, and a burning sensation while urinating.
The significant frequency of asymptomatic illness,
however, presents a challenge to efficient
management [13]
. Even when symptoms do appear,
they may be mistaken as RTIs because of how
similarly they present to and are treated as a typical
physiological change [14]
. Women should be
encouraged to stay away from vaginal douching,
tight-fitting synthetic garments, and local irritants
such soap gels and perfumed items. [1]
Treatment is
delayed by cultural hurdles, a lack of knowledge
about symptoms, a lack of privacy, the absence of a
female doctor at the medical institution, the cost of
care, social stigma, and anxiety about internal exams.
The effective execution of preventative and control
programmes is hampered by all of these obstacles. 15.
In India, 11–18% of women in the reproductive age
range self-report having RTI symptoms, according to
nationally representative surveys. [16,17]
In addition,
women in rural India are more susceptible to RTI
than women in metropolitan areas. [18]
There is a dearth of knowledge on the correlation
between RTI and specific conditions in a rural area,
despite the fact that numerous studies have been
carried out to ascertain the incidence rate of RTIs.
The current study, which exhaustively covers to
establish the prevalence of Self-reported vaginal
discharge, perceived causes and associated symptoms
to fill this gap. Thus, study was designed to be
undertaken in a rural location.
Methodology
This community-based cross-sectional study was
conducted with women of childbearing age (ages 15-
45) in Kondangcheri Village. A door-to-door survey
was conducted to recruit suitable participants. A
sample of 140 women was interviewed for the
presence of abnormal vaginal discharge in which100
women meeting eligibility criteria were recruited
using convenient sampling methods. In any woman of
childbearing age with a chief complaint of abnormal
vaginal discharge (abnormal texture and color, more
frequent than usual), genital burning or itching, or
burning or itching during urination in the past 3
months, those who understood Tamil/English and
voluntarily consented to the study were included.
Postmenopausal women, pregnant women, and
women undergoing hysterectomy were excluded from
the study. A detailed self-structured questionnaire
was developed and the questionnaire consisted of
three main parts - Part A - socio-demographic details:
Age, marital status, religion, education level,
occupation, income, family type, diet, related medical
conditions. Part B Clinical variables: menstrual
history (age of menarche, regular cycles, days of
menstruation, pain during menstruation), marital and
reproductive history (active marital (sexual history),
reproductive history, delivery method, birth interval,
method of contraception, history of abortion), and a
final Part C questionnaire to assess the prevalence and
pattern of abnormal vaginal discharge. Details of

menstrual hygiene, discharge details (duration,
frequency, color, consistency, odor, discharge cause,
discharge comorbidities, and current treatment for
discharge) were collected. Notified written concerns
were obtained from participants and recorded. Formal
permission was obtained from the village authorities
and approved by the institutional ethics committee.
Data were collected using a face-to-face interview
method using a self-structured questionnaire. Data
were summarized in an Excel sheet and data were
analyzed using SPSS 16 version software. Descriptive
statistics are displayed in terms of mean and standard
deviation. Data are displayed graphically using bar
graphs. Chi-squared scores were used to assign
prevalence to selected variables.
RESULTS
Section A: Characterisation of study participants
The current study included 100 women who
presented with abnormal vaginal discharge. When
compared to age groups, 20-30 year olds had a higher
prevalence of abnormal vaginal discharge (55%).
However, the 40-50 age group was reported to have
the lowest number (11%). In terms of education,
approximately 51.1% (51) of the study group had a
secondary education. In terms of occupation and
income, 36% were private employees, and 42% had a
family income of less than $10,000. In terms of
religion, 57% were Christian. According to the type
of family, 56% were joint families. In terms of dietary
habits, the majority of participants (66% were non-
vegetarians).
Menstrual, Marital and Obstetric history among
the study participants
The mean (standard deviation) age at menarche was
14.18 (1.3) years. The majority of the women in the
study (62%) had no menstrual problems. The most
common menstrual problems were dysmenorrhea
(27%) and irregular menstrual cycles (11%). A
sanitary napkin was the most commonly used
material by women to absorb menstrual blood flow
(76%). Only 24% of these women use a piece of
cloth. The average marriage age was 18 years. Only
twenty-six (26%) of the women were nulliparous,
while seventy-four (74%) had at least two children.
Normal vaginal delivery was found to be the most
common mode of delivery (66; 66%), with caesarean
section accounting for the least (44% of the
population). The most common method of
contraception was tubal sterilisation (68%).
Assessment of Vaginal Discharge
100 (69%) of the 140 women interviewed for the
presence of abnormal vaginal discharge were found to
have a complaint of abnormal vaginal discharge. As
illustrated in Figure 1, the prevalence of vaginal
discharge was found to be high. According to a study
conducted by Uwakwe et al. (2018), the overall
prevalence rate of abnormal vaginal discharge among
women was 240 (55.6%). [19] Similarly, study results
similar to Patil and Thakur (2016) revealed that 136
(34%) of 400 respondents screened for the presence
of abnormal vaginal discharge had abnormal vaginal
discharge. [20]

According to table 1, the most common colour of discharge among women experiencing abnormal vaginal
discharge was curdy white (76%), yellow (4%), grey (17%), red (2%) and brown (1%). In terms of odour, 59%
of women reported odourless discharge, while 39% reported fishy odour. With respect to consistency of
discharge, 43% of women experience cheesy/sticky discharge, 14% experience watery discharge, 17%
experience frothy discharge, 20% experience thick discharge, and 6% experience thin discharge. According to
duration, 49% of women have vaginal discharge for less than 6 months, while 51% have vaginal discharge for
more than 6 months. According to study findings [19], the majority of abnormal vaginal discharge was white or
creamy in colour 208 (86.7%), with close to half having a foul or fishy smell 119 (49.6%) and more than half

having a curdy consistency 126 (52.5%). According to study findings [20], the most common colour of
discharge in women experiencing abnormal vaginal discharge was curdy white (42.6%), followed by yellowish
white (36.8%) and white (16.2%). Only 4.4% of women described the colour as greyish white. 36% of women
reported that their discharge was odorous. 80.1% of women reported sticky discharge, while 3.7% reported
blood-tinged discharge. More than two-thirds, 69.85%, had been complaining of discharge for less than six
months, with 17.64% have vaginal discharge for six months to a year. 12.51% of women reported discharge for
more than a year.

Perceived Causes of Vaginal Discharge:
The majority of women (26%) blamed it on excessive body heat, 22% on eating hot food, 13% on stress, 5% on
poor menstrual hygiene and infections, and 9% on heavy work and vaginal douching. Fewer women reported
due to pregnancy, nutritional deficiency, and body weakness that Showed in Figure 2.

PERCEIVED CAUSES
Similarly, findings from a study conducted by Ilankoon et al. (2019) revealed that heaty food consumption and
body heat were the main reasons [21]. Furthermore, similar to the current study's findings, in another study

conducted in the United States, very few females reported infections as a cause of abnormal vaginal discharge.
[22] Similarly, psychosocial factors are associated with abnormal vaginal discharge. [23]
Associated symptoms of vaginal discharge
As shown in figure3, the most commonly reported symptoms were vaginal discharge (47%), vaginal itching
(47%), lower abdominal pain (18%), back pain (20%), burning micturation (11%), and dyssparenuia (4%). It is
also comparable to the research of Rao PS et al [24]. Similarly, research findings similar to those of Edward
(2021) [25] states that the most common symptom among the 153 symptomatic women was abnormal vaginal
discharge (16.4%). Lower abdominal pain (10.95%), low back ache (8.76%), burning micturition (2.73%),
genital ulcerations (2.19%), and dyspareunia (0.82%) were the other symptoms.
Also, a study [26] found that other symptoms associated with abnormal vaginal discharge included itchiness and
scratching (n=135, 24.5%), lower abdominal pain (n=79, 14.4%), burning sensation (n=62, 11.3%), pain during
intercourse (n=13, 2.4%), and backache (n=12, 2.2%). Likewise, Usharani and Swetha (2021) reported that
itching was the most common associated symptom in 50.5% of cases, followed by pain abdomen in 45.5%,
burning micturition in 45%, and dysuria in 15.5%. Backache was a less common complaint, occurring in 5% of
cases. [27]
During periods, the majority of study participants (85%) took a bath. It was similar to the study [28], which
stated that in terms of menstrual hygiene, nearly 100% of women took a bath daily during their periods. In this
study, approximately 78.0% of the women washed their perineal area with soap and water after every bath.
Similarly, many research studies revealed that the majority of women used water (75.8%) and a soapy water
solution (17.9%) during vaginal discharge. Various materials were identified for douching, primarily with water,
with water with soap being the second most commonly used product [29,30].

Association of vaginal discharge with selected
demographicvariablesamongthe reproductive age
group women
Educational level (p<0.001) and place of residence
(p<0.001) were found to be significantly associated
with abnormal vaginal discharge. Similarly, Patil and
Thakur's study (2016) found a statistically significant
relationship between age, education, family type, and
the presence of abnormal vaginal discharge[20]
The limitation of our study is that no laboratory tests
were performed to rule out an infectious aetiology of
vaginal discharge.
Conclusion
Women had a difficult time identifying vaginal
discharge as a suspected symptom of reproductive
tract infections. Adequate information about normal
and abnormal vaginal discharge must be provided to
women in order for them to receive early treatment
for pathological vaginal discharge. Each patient who
reports vaginal discharge should be extensively
questioned, inspected, and appropriately investigated
to rule out pathological discharge. Many cultural and
social factors influence their health and how they
perceive their health in the community. It is one of
the most important challenges to overcome, yet it

continues to contribute significantly to the ill health
of women. Nurturing awareness through health
education programmes must be instilled in women
from childhood, particularly during adolescence and
motherhood. All women who have the correct
information will share it with their parents and peer
group. We may conclude that raising health
awareness, maintaining personal cleanliness (such as
menstrual and personal hygiene), and engaging in
health-seeking behaviours will all help to lessen the
issue of vaginal discharge.
