Non-fatal injuries treated outside a hospital in Hunan, China: results from a household interview survey.

Background: Injury morbidity data are collected through hospital-based surveillance in many countries. We assessed the extent of non-fatal injures treated outside a hospital. Methods: Data from the first provincial health household interview survey of Hunan, China, conducted in 2013, were used. Injury events were identified and included as medically significant when any of the following circumstances occurred in the prior 14 days: (i) receiving medical treatment from a doctor at a hospital following an injury; (ii) receiving medical treatment by self or others outside a hospital following an injury (e.g. taking medications, or receiving massage or hot compress); and/or (iii) being off work or school, or in bed for more than 1 day, following an injury. The 2-week prevalence of non-fatal injuries and 95% confidence intervals were calculated. We calculated the proportion of injury events treated outside a hospital and the reasons for not visiting a hospital for injury events occurring during the previous 2 weeks. Results: We captured 56 injury events during the previous 2 weeks. The weighted injury prevalence was 4.9 per 1000 persons during the last 2 weeks (95% confidence interval: 2.9–6.9 per 1000 persons). Of the 56 events, 14 (weighted proportion 41.2%) were treated outside a hospital. Primary explanations for skipping hospital visits included perceiving injuries were too minor and economic limitations to travel to hospitals or seek treatment. Conclusion: Results imply the burden of non-fatal injury may be underestimated by hospital-based surveillance systems such as that used in China.

Dysmenorrhea and self-care strategies in Iranian female students: a regression modeling of pain severity and underlying factors.

Dysmenorrhea is the most common gynecologic condition experienced by menstruating women and has significant medical and psychosocial impacts. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence and the problems related to menstruation, self-care strategies and their relations with pain severity in female students of Tabriz University of Medical Sciences. This cross sectional study was carried out among 197 unmarried and healthy female medical students during April 2013 to July 2013. A standardized questionnaire was given to participants to complete, which included questions about demographic information, prevalence and severity of pain, self-care strategies and its effectiveness. The prevalence of dysmenorrhea was 98.4% (95% confidence interval=97.6%-99.2%). Almost 76% (149) of students reported limitation of daily activities. The most common method for relief pain were: taking analgesics (64.3%), rest (61.9%), taking herbal medicine (11.7%), and applying hot compress on area of pain (22.3%). Obtaining information about self-care strategies offered from family and friends 79 (41%) were more common than scientific articles 56 (28.7%) and the Internet 43 (22%). Significant relations were observed between self-care strategies' scales and pain severity. The results indicated that dysmenorrhea was highly prevalent among female medical students and is a major problem affecting their life. A variety of treatments is available for dysmenorrhea but most of the participants did not seek medical advice and they used self-care strategies. However, further studies focusing on health education and routine screening for menstrual problems are recommended.

Objective To investigate the value and effects of lipoinjection into the subperiosteal and overlying multiple planes for correction of facial depression. Methods The lateral and posterolateral areas of the thigh and infragluteal areas were selected as donor sites of autologous fat. The fat was rinsed and purified after liposuction. The collected fat was injected into the subperiosteal and overlying multiple planes to correct facial depression. Results 96 patients received lipoinjection of volume between 0.5 to 22 ml for each unilateral depression each time. Secondary injection was performed after 4 to 8 months after operation if necessary. The depression was corrected, the skin texture was improved, the wrinkles were also improved after fat transplantation. The follow-up period was between 6 and 24 months. 3 patients had sclerosis after lipoinjection. The sclerosis disappeared after 6 months through local massage, hot compress, and traditional medicine treatment in two of them. The sclerosis was resolved by excision in the rest one. There were no complications of hematoma, infection, liquefaction, and calcification. Conclusions Lipoinjection into the subperiosteal and overlying multiple planes can correct facial depression with fat. Fat survival rate is high. The method is suitable for correction of facial depression in aesthetic plastic surgery. Key words: Facial depression; Fat transplantation; Soft tissue

鉄粉酸化反応層の熱特性に関する研究

This paper presents an experimental and analytical investigation of the thermal characteristics in a layer of exothermic powder mixture that is utilized in body warmers, hot compresses, thermotherapy, etc. The research objective is to develop a manufacturing method that enables the exothermic temperature to be controlled in order to prevent cases of low-temperature burns. The exothermic powder mixture generally comprises metal powder, catalyst powder, and vermiculite particle absorbing some saline solution. The exothermic powder mixture is put into a mini-autoclave, and then placed in a constant temperature bath after the atmosphere inside the mini-autoclave has been replaced with pure oxygen. The degradation of oxygen pressure inside the mini-autoclave shows that the reaction rate of corrosion depends on the reaction temperature, the volume of the saline solution, and the conversion of iron powder into oxide, in addition to the ambient oxygen concentration; a correlation is suggested for the reaction rate. The variation over time of the temperature distribution in a layer of the exothermic powder mixture is evaluated analytically using this empirical correlation for the reaction rate, and compared with the experimental results. In the analysis, the mass, momentum, energy and oxygen component equations are solved numerically for a layer of the exothermic powder mixture, which is regarded as a porous medium. The analysis does not predict the temperature distribution accurately, but the analytical and experimental results are in accordance qualitatively.

Random control trial of hot compresses for women those who used laxatives on severity of constipation and quality of life.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of hot compresses for constipation and quality of life (QOL), with a focus on taking laxatives. Meeting the inclusion criteria were 60 women, who had taken over-the-counter laxatives for constipation. Sixty women were randomly assigned to either the intervention (n = 30) or control (n = 30) group. The study period was 4 weeks: the first 2 weeks (baseline) without intervention and the last 2 weeks (intervention) with heat stimulus using a commercially available thermic sheet (40°C). Women affixed the sheet to the lumbar area with the Jacoby line in the center immediately after waking and were instructed to remove the sheet after 5 h during the intervention period every day. During the intervention, women recorded their daily defecation and completed the Constipation Assessment Scale (CAS), Constipation QOL 15 (CQ), and 36 Item Short Form Survey. The author excluded incomplete records and study protocol deviations; as a result, a total of 39 subjects (21 hot compresses group, 18 control group) was used for the analysis. Significant improvement was seen in days of defecation and the number of defecations per week for the intervention group. Significant improvement was also seen in physical and psychological subcategory of CQ15. No significant differences were found in the amount of laxatives used. The lumbar application of a 40°C hot compresses in female adults with constipation improved their conditions of defecation and QOL, even though it did not reduce the amount of laxatives.
