Introduction: Eclampsia (Greek, “shining forth”) is an acute and life-threatening complication of pregnancy, and is characterized by the appearance of tonic-clonic seizure, usually in a patient who had developed pre-eclampsia. Pre- eclampsia and eclampsia are collectively called hypertensive disorders of pregnancy and toxemia of pregnancy. This study aimed to analyze the feto-maternal outcome of preterm eclampsia and its relationship with the mode of delivery. Methods: This descriptive type of cross-sectional study was conducted at the eclampsia unit of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Dhaka Medical College Hospital, Dhaka, Bangladesh. The study was carried out from February 2012 to July 2012. A total of 92 subjects were enrolled in this study as per inclusion criteria. Result: In this study, the prevalence of eclampsia was 10.12%, and preterm eclampsia was 1.31%. The majority of the patients (48.91%) were within 20-25 years of age, and only 1.09% were >30 years of age. Most of the patients were primi gravida (78.26%). The majority of the patients (54.35%) reported within 3-5 hours. Most of the patients came at 33-34 weeks gestation, but quite a significant percentage (30%) came at 28-32 weeks of gestation. A large number of patients delivered spontaneously, a fair number of patients were induced & a few patients required LSCS. In both SVD & induced groups, the majority of the patients (62% & 66% respectively) were delivered within 7-12 hours. In the SVD group, 10% of patients were delivered within 6 hours whereas in the cesarean section group 85% of patients were delivered within 6 hours. Maximum patients (81%) had induction delivery intervals between 7-12 hours. 12 (60%) patients had LSCS done due to fetal distress, 2 (10%) due to previous H/O LSCS, 1 (5%) due to primi gravida with a twin pregnancy, and 5(25%) due to primi gravida with breech presentation. Of patients who presented at 28-32 weeks of gestation, among them 16 had SVD, 11 patients had induction of labor, and LSCS was done in only one case & which was stillborn. The majority of the babies in the SVD & induced group developed asphyxia (81% & 90% respectively) and the majority needed admission to NICU (62% & 73% respectively). PND was also high (>50%) in both groups. Of patients who presented at 33-34 weeks of gestation, 19 had SVD, 15 patients had induction of labor, and only 4 patients required LSCS. A significant number of babies in all three groups (42%, 47% & 100% respectively) were healthy. Although in SVD & induced groups a large number of babies developed asphyxia (58% & 47% respectively) and admission was required in NICU 26% in both groups. PND was few in both groups. For patients who presented at 35-36 weeks of gestation, the majority was delivered by LSCS (15) & outcomes of babies were good in this group as well as in the SVD group. Only one baby developed birth asphyxia. The maternal outcome was good in all three groups (85%, 91%, & 100% respectively). No maternal complication occurred in the cesarean section group. In SVD & induced group few maternal complications occurred such as recurrent convulsion (12% & 13% respectively), CVD (single case in both groups), pulmonary edema (1), HELLP syndrome (1), and septicemia (1). Three mothers die in SVD & induced group. Conclusion: This study concluded that early-onset eclampsia has been associated with worse perinatal outcomes. Gestational age <32 weeks who do not go into labor spontaneously may offer induction, as the cesarean section does not carry any good prognosis to the fetus but rather increases morbidity to the mother. When gestational age crosses >33 weeks, a complete evaluation of the fetal condition, mental condition, and cervix is necessary to plan for the mode of delivery.

Background: Malnutrition among preschool children is still a serious public health problem in Nigeria and other developing countries. The critical role fathers play in providing support in improving infant, young child and maternal nutrition cannot be overemphasized. Therefore, the current study seeks to explore the level of male involvement in infant and young child nutrition and its association with nutritional status. Methodology: A cross sectional study among 190 households, 5 focus group discussions, and 5 key informant interviews were conducted in Birnin Kebbi metropolis of Kebbi State in Nigeria. Anthropometric measurement, biochemical and physical evaluation were used to assess nutritional status of preschool children of the respondents. Focus group discussions and in-depth interviews conducted and summarized into themes. Results: The study revealed that higher percentage of the males provided money to buy food for the children (93.6%), and only 9.8% have ever accompanied mothers to young child clinics. Conclusion: In this study, most males were involved in buying food for their children, and providing money for transport to young child clinics was associated with normal nutritional status of children less than 5 years in the study area.

It is well-established that the position of fraud crime has gradually shifted from traditional offline fraud to online telecom fraud. Among them, “Pig-Butchering Scam”, as a new type of fraud, was listed as one of the ten most prevalent fraud crimes by the National Anti-Fraud Center of China in February 2021. This study focuses on the victims of “Pig- Butchering Scam” cases, aiming to find out what common susceptibility traits or potential victimization factors the victims have, and how to cut off their false representations from the “susceptibility” to the behavioral dimension through effective interventions, in order to refine the psychological induction mechanism of emotion-based telecom fraud through this study. The purpose of this study is to refine the psychological induction mechanism of emotional telecommunication fraud. We have conducted field surveys and semi-structured interviews on victims’ personalities and analyzed their common characteristics. The results were similar to our hypothesis: the vast majority of victims generally showed a tendency to have low self-identity in the dimension of self-esteem, especially interpersonal-social self-esteem. This result suggests that people with low self-esteem, especially those with low interpersonal social self-esteem, are more likely to be potential victims of the “Pig-Butchering Scam”.

Compulsory motor insurance coverage appears to be an imperative. The objective of this research is to publicize this obligation in order to bring about a change in the behavior of the Beninese. To achieve this, a quantitative survey and two qualitative surveys were conducted. The results show that Beninese people are generally unaware of this compulsory guarantee, particularly drivers or car owners who do not know the content of this guarantee. The campaigns conducted by the insurance companies still do not take into account the expectations of the targets. The injunctive messages transmitted do not often receive favorable feedback, due to the lack of proposals integrating the aspirations of car owners. Media communication and digital communication represent two important levers of large-scale dissemination that must be resized for the success of the campaign.

This paper explores the curriculum space in secondary general education in the Republic of Benin, in reference to information and communication technologies(ICT) and sexuality. Taking the curriculum space, as described in O’Hair, Mc Laughlin and Reitzug (2000), as the theoretical framework, this study relies on both qualitative and quantitative data from 137 high school graduates who have enrolled in teacher training at ENS in Porto-Novo in 2019. The main concern in this research is to track their learning processes of the knowledge and skills in ICT and sexuality, domains in which Benin secondary general education has remained almost silent until recently. The findings reveal that the large majority of participants (72%) have acquired diverse knowlegde and skills in ICT and 32% in sexuality, often in the margin of the official school programmes. Thus, the two domains belong to the null curriculum, and curriculum leadership suggests that teachers take lessons from these experiences to inform their practices in the official domain.

Atypical meningioma is often treated adequately by complete surgical resection and subsequent radiation therapy. Nevertheless, radiation therapy should be reassessed in the management of younger patients and particularly in individuals harboring NF2 genetic mutation. To the best of our knowledge this is the third case of post radiation transformation of atypical meningioma in an adolescent male after reviewing the available English literature. Kew wards: Post radiation, atypical meningioma, transformation, sarcomatous meningioma, NF2 mutation.

A study based on spatial distribution of Scorodophloeus zenkeri was performed in the device 400ha Biaro forest. Both specie has multiple uses, including industrial exploitation by the quality of wood. An inventory of the forest potential of these specie were made based on values in abscissa (x) and ordonna (y) for all individuals. At the end of this inventory, 9115 feet were counted with 9098 feet at reserve Yoko and 17 individuals at Biaro forest. The spatial distribution of individuals of both specie is aleator type at reserve Yoko and aggregated type at Biaro forest.
