The Silver Catfish Chrysichthys nigrodigitatus from the hydrosystem Lake Togo-Lagoon of Aného contributes to the socio-economic well-being and food security of local populations. However, this ecosystem is known to be threatened by trace elements contamination. This study aims to assess the human health risk associated with exposure to trace elements via the consumption of Silver Catfish. The study method followed four main steps as described by USEPA after measuring trace element concentrations in C. nigrodigitatus tissues. The results showed that some values greater than 1 were obtained in the dry season, for As in adults (THQ = 1.17) and children (THQ = 1.80) and for Cr in children (THQ = 1.11) and in the rainy season for As in children (THQ = 1.36). Regarding the consumption of whole fish organs analyzed, the THQ recorded in the dry season for Cd, Pb, Cr and As in adults and children and for Hg in children are all greater than 1. In addition, in the rainy season, the THQ obtained for Cd and As in adults and Cd, Pb, Cr, Hg and As in children, are also greater than 1. The total target hazard quotient (TTHQ) are all greater than 1 for muscles and for all the combined fish organs studied. The CR values of Cr and As obtained in the muscles and the combined fish organs are all unacceptable (CR > 10-4) in both adults and children during both seasons. Children are more exposed than adults and the consumption of all the organs studied is found to be more dangerous than muscles alone. Therefore, the consumption of vital fish organs such as gills, kidneys and liver should be avoided since they are the favorite sites for most pollutant concentration.

This paper deals with triple challenges confronted by Guinea- Conakry versus the Western Capitalist and Eastern Communist Struggles in the context of colonial and neo-colonial interests in a strategic African country with full accessibilities in the Atlantic Ocean. The principle actors in such an exploitative operations includes the British, French, Americans and the Soviet Union. In fact, lucrative commercial activities conducted in this region of West Africa acted as one of the most important factor which attracted Whites immigrants into the country which later witnessed serious challenges in the hands of French diplomatic agents in the wake of African Nationalism and the desired for self-determination whose independence was declared by its famous political elite known as Sékou Touré in 1958 as the first President of the Republic of Guinea. This was not the end of Western manipulation and hiding operations in the peak of the Cold War conflicts with targeted interests which once more set the new leader into mixing Capitalist-Communist ideologies while gaining much international recognition as one of African despot until his death in 1984.The scrutiny of specialized sources and government documents online pertaining to those challenges enable us to use a historical analytical approach to come out with our findings. That the geo-strategic and geo-political position of the country and its natural resources kept both camps in the Cold War busy to make their presence felt by the 26 year pioneer President after the pre-mature departure of the French colonial agents with the famous “No” of Touré.

Bilateral breast tumors can be either synchronous or metachronous. Synchronous breast tumors account for 0.2-2% of all breast cancers and have a poorer prognosis when compared to metachronous and unilateral tumors. Phyllodes tumor, benign or malignant, may be rarely associated with ductal/lobular carcinoma in-situ and less often with invasive lesions. Here we report a rare case of synchronous malignant phyllodes tumor in left breast and invasive ductal carcinoma in right breast, which were diagnosed on routine mammogram and confirmed by histopathological evaluation. Extensive literature search showed two case reports of co-existence of benign phyllodes tumor and invasive ductal carcinoma as synchronous tumors in contralateral breasts. No case reports of malignant phyllodes tumor and invasive ductal carcinoma as synchronous tumors in distinct breasts was found and our case is the first one to be reported. Such synchronous co-existence warrants a strict follow up of the patient with further investigations to rule out another primary cancer and also screening of other family members.

Purpose: The aim of the study was to analyse the frequency of consuming selected groups of food products among Polish handball players depending on their sports experience and level of generalised self-efficacy. Methods: The research was conducted among a group of 142 men aged 20-36, using an author-designed questionnaire regarding the frequency of consuming selected food groups and the Generalised Sense of Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES). Statistical analysis of the results was carried by estimating Spearman's signed rank correlation coefficients. Results: The examined handball players usually included the following in their diet: vegetables and fruits, and several times a week: refined and whole grain cereal products, milk and dairy products, eggs, poultry and pork meat, processed meats, sweets and confectionery products. Typically, once a week, they ate: sea fish, vegetable oils, nuts, fast food products, and sweetened carbonated beverages. It was shown that along with the experience in competition, the consumption of fruit and vegetables (p=0.045) and vegetable oils (p<0.001) increased, while consuming eggs (p<0.001) and fast food products became less frequent (p=0.001). A positive correlation was also found between the level of self-efficacy and the frequency of consuming vegetables (p<0.001) as well as milk and dairy products (p=0.004), and a negative correlation with the frequency of consuming eggs (p=0.049) and alcoholic beverages (p=0.007). Conclusions: In the studied group of Polish handball players, nutritional errors related to the low frequency of consuming whole grain cereals, dairy products and nuts, as well as a tendency towards more rational nutritional choices along with longer professional experience and a more intense sense of self-efficacy, were demonstrated.

Background: Placenta praevia is one of the leading causes of antepartum haemorrhage usually responsible for significant maternal & fetal morbidity & mortality. Now a day, there is rising trend of caesarean section with parallel rise in placenta praevia specially the major variety where placenta lies in the lower uterine segment partially or completely covering the cervical os. Objective: To see the maternal and perinatal outcome of ultrasonographically diagnosed cases of major variety of placenta praevia with previous caesarean section. Methods: It was a cross sectional descriptive type of observational study conducted in the Obs & Gynae Department of Mymensingh Medical College, Mymensingh over the period of six months from July, 2017 to December, 2017. Total 50 patients were selected for this study after fulfilling the inclusion criteria and diagnosed as major types of placenta praevia by ultrasonography. A purposive sampling technique was applied for selecting the patient with previous caesarean section. Data analysis was implemented using SPSS version 22. Results: The study result shows that 36% cases were Type III placenta praevia and 52% were central placenta praevia. Among 50 patients 54% patients were presented with history of previous one caesarean section & 32% had previous two caesarean section. 50.0% cases of type III & 80.8% cases of central placenta praevia with previous caesarean section needed peripartum hysterectomy. Out of 50 patients, 11 patients were complicated with urinary bladder injury, PPH occurred in 4 patients & 2 patients needed ICU support. That patient who needed hysterectomy massive blood transfusion was required. In this study no maternal mortality was observed. Regarding fetal outcome, 88% babies were alive & 12% were stillborn. Almost two third (66%) neonates were deliverd before term & 08 neonates were transferred to NICU. Conclusion: Placenta praevia is a matter of concern for the obstetrician due to devastating haemorrhage & adverse maternal & fetal outcome. Patients with major variety of placenta praevia with history of caesarean section are regarded as high risk pregnancy & these patients should be managed in the tertiary level hospital by multidisciplinary approach in presence of skilled obstetrician, expert anaesthesiologist, neonatologist, urologist along with all logistical support.

Physical activity plays a vital role in the prevention and treatment of Type2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) (Hayes and Kriska, 2008). During the COVID-19 pandemic, physical activity is shown to be imperative in helping support a strong immune system (Chastin et al., 2021) and patients with COVID-19 who have been consistently physically inactive have a significantly higher risk of severe outcomes than patients who were doing some activity (Sallis et al., 2021). Therefore, the objective of this qualitative study was to evaluate the sufferer’s perception of physical inactivity and its social determinants among people with diabetes. Interviews were conducted with 14 participants with diabetes aged 40-60 years old living in the UAE in June-July 2021. The barriers of physical activity were explored through in-depth, semi-structured, audio-taped interviews. Barriers for physical inactivity were grouped around five themes: (1)Life-altering COVID-19: the pandemic that changed the world (2)Social and cultural norms: Islamic faith and family are the two most important influences among Arabs (3)Fatigue: prolonged sitting (due to long commute and sedentary jobs) and in some participants post-viral fatigue syndrome due to COVID-19 infection (4)Fear of illness: due to hyperthermia and comorbidities (5)Impact of lockdown. The prevalence of physical inactivity is high among Arabs. Weather restrictions and cultural obligations may lead to reduction in physical activity levels. Therefore, meeting physical activity guidelines can reduce the risk for severe COVID-19 outcomes among infected adults and is likely to prevent increases in diabetes incidence in this population.

A descriptive survey approach was used in this study to investigate preservice teachers' gender-stereotyped beliefs and perceptions of gender-stereotyped classroom practices. Participants included 422 preservice teachers (196 males and 125 females) from Tumu College of Education in Ghana. The participants were chosen using a convenience sampling technique. The Teacher's Gender Stereotype Questionnaire, adapted from Ifegbesan (2010), was completed online by participants. To answer the questions asked, descriptive and inferential statistics were used. According to the findings of the study, pre-service teachers have positive gender stereotypes beliefs, and perceptions of gender-stereotyped classroom behaviors. There were also significant differences in gender-stereotype beliefs among pre-service teachers based on sex, age, and academic level. Correlation analyses demonstrate significant relationships among age, sex and academic level, and gender-stereotyped belief. Multiple regression analysis found that gender, academic level, and age are all predictors of perceptions of gender stereotype beliefs. The study's implication is the need of educating pre-service teachers about gender stereotypes. There is also a need for gender-sensitive knowledge and pedagogies to be integrated into teacher education curricula.

Introduction: Cervical cancer is one of the most common causes of cancer death in the world. It constitutes about one fourth of the total number of female cancers patient in our country. Cervical cancer is the second leading cause of cancer in females in developing countries and first in developed countries. Objective: To assess the level of awareness among the women attending the OPD of DMCH regarding cervical cancer. Materials and Methods: The cross sectional study was conducted among the outdoor patients of Obstetrics & Gynecology wards of Dhaka Medical College Hospital, Dhaka, Bangladesh from 1st July 2015 to 30th December, 2015. The study period was only 6 months. 95 patients included in your study. The aim of the study is to assess the level of awareness among the women attending the OPD of DMCH regarding cervical cancer. The sample was collected from the women attending GOPD of DMCH by random sampling. The sampling was done to select the patient according to the eligibility criteria. Results: This study age of maximum women was within below 30 years and the minimum numbers of women were from above 30 years out of 100 women. The numbers of women in these two categories were 84% and 16% respectively. The mean age and standard deviation of total study population was 24.184 ±6.63years.Maximum respondents of our study received education up to primary level (43%)followed by illiteracy (31%). Risk factors were mentioned as genital infection (15.79%), OCP (21.93%), multiple sexual partners (10.53%), white discharge (21.93%), repeated MR (12.28%), many children in early age (8.77%), smoking (8.77%). They heard of cancer from various sources such as Uthan boithok (28%), electronic & Print media (27%), Miking of VIA camp (25%). A greater percentage of the sample 91% reported having information on cervical cancer. However, when asked to describe cervical cancer 50% of the respondents could not. Of those who had some information about cervical cancer, a greater percentage (32%) of respondents gave a general description of a bad disease or fatal disease of the uterus which is curable when diagnosed early. Conclusion: Cervical cancer is a common female cancer but apt knowledge regarding the risk factors and prevention way of this disease may show excellent response. Keeping that in mind, the country policy maker took many projects to campaign against cervical cancer to improve the awareness of community people. As female of reproductive age are one of the principle group of sufferer of the disease so the research work was operated on the married, unmarried, widow and divorced women of this age group. This study proved that the awareness regarding the disease just now is almost unsatisfactory.
