Background: With a mortality rate of nearly 5.5 million annually, stroke is classified as the second leading cause of death worldwide. A high mortality rate is not only the burden of stroke but also leads to permanent disability to 50% of the survivors, so stroke is a spacious disease on public health with severe social and economic outcomes. A survey conducted about the 10 causes of death in Saudi Arabia in 2017, the mortality rate due to stroke was 6.4%. Aim: To assess the knowledge level of high school students about stroke. Methods: A cross sectional research design was utilized to collect the data from students of one of high schools in Al Ahsa, Eastern Region, Saudi Arabia. A convenient sampling method was used to select the study sample. The researchers distributed 120 questionnaires and collected 101 complete questionnaires, which gave a response rate of (84.2%). A self-structured questionnaire survey was conducted between high school students regarding stroke knowledge. Results: The total score of knowledge about stroke ranged from 3-11 out of 17 (Mean 7.04 + 2.5). However, most of the subjects have a low-degree knowledge score (91.1%). Conclusion: There was inadequate awareness of stroke among students, in spite of the fact that it corresponds to a major number of deaths worldwide.

This study aims to determine the effect of beetroot juice on hemoglobin levels and the VO2Max value of an athlete. This research is an experimental study using a true experimental design with a pretest-posttest control group design approach. This study used 36 badminton athletes divided into 3 groups. The results showed that there were significant differences in hemoglobin levels in badminton athletes after consuming beetroot juice, the 200 ml beetroot juice group (p = 0.001), the 300 ml beetroot juice group (p = 0.002). There was a difference in the levels of Hemoglobin in badminton athletes after treatment between consuming 200 ml beetroot juice and a group consuming 300 ml beetroot juice but not significant (p = 0.744> p = 0.05). There were significant differences in VO2Max values after consumption of beetroot juice in the 300 ml group (p = 0,000), but there were no significant differences in VO2Max values in the control group (p = 0.007) and the 200 ml group (p = 0.007). There was a significant difference in the value of VO2Max badminton athletes between the group consuming 200 ml beetroot juice and the group consuming 300 ml beetroot juice after treatment (p = 0.031 <p = 0.005). Beetroot juice can be highly recommended for athletes to maintain stamina in optimal conditions.

Objectives: The digital divide is a complex phenomenon in which a metaphorical gap is present in between two groups of individuals who utilize ICT’s (information communication technologies). This gap provides cause for concern, especially with a society that is so technologically advanced in todays’ day. Currently, little is known about how older adults and millennials access and use e-health based technologies. Hence, a systematic review was undertaken to address this noted gap in the literature. Methods: A systematic review of the literature was undertaken employing the following three databases (i) PubMed, (ii) ERIC, and (iii) CINAHL were examined using the search term “digital divide and generations” to identify potential articles were present. A data abstraction tool was created to obtain the following information: (i) author, (ii) year of publication, (iii) sample size, (iv) country of origin, (v) design/methods, (vi) major findings/outcomes obtained. Inclusion criteria included publication dates between the years of Jan 2009 to Aug 2018, written in the English language, targeting the target population of older adults aged 65+ and millennials, as well as being peer reviewed quantitative articles. Results/Conclusion: There is a dearth of literature in this topic, as well as a decline of research produced from Canada. The consequences and benefits of technology being integrated into daily living are just being investigated. Additionally, a change in the way that healthcare is currently used, received and distributed would also help attribute to the change to ensure that no generation is left behind in a technologically advanced society.

Background: Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is accountable for around 25% of maternal mortality in the developing countries. Management of 3rd stage of labour is the cornerstone in PPH prevention. The effect of Placenta Cord Drainage (PCD) on the 3rdprogress and PPH prevention is still controversy. Aim of the study: This study aims to investigate the effect of placental drainage on the third stage of labour progress and incidence of postpartum hemorrhage. Research design: randomized controlled clinical trial. Setting: This study is conducted at normal labour unit at Damanhour educational institution affiliated to ministry of health at Elbehira governorate/Egypt. Sampling: A purposive sample of 120 women undergoing normal easy vaginal delivery. Tools: two tools were used for data collection. Tool I: sociodemographic characteristics and obstetric history interview schedule. Tool II: Labour assessment sheet it consists of three main parts. Part I: Summary of the first and second stage of labor. Part II: third stage assessment sheet. Part III: 3. Early postpartum assessment sheet. Results: The present study results shows no statistical significant differences between PCD and control group regarding vital signs during the 3rd stage, uterus condition after placenta delivery, type, dose and route of uterotonic drugs given during 3rd stage. On the contrary, a statistical significant reduction in the time elapsed until appearance of placenta separation signs (3.5583±0.83915), 3rd stage duration(5.1417±1.03138), amount of blood loss during 3rd stage (195.45±13.994), placenta weight (580.333±64.97631) and incidence of retained placenta ((0%) in the PCD group than control. In the early postpartum assessment, the mean pulse (88.2.7667±3.11022) is higher among control group compared to PCD (83.4667±2.78292) group. Control group needs higher dose of uterotonic (8.6780±2.62902) drugs than PCD (5.0566±1.41985) group. In addition, maternal hemoglobin (9.5234±0.6087) is slightly higher in PCD group compared to control (8.458±0.873). Conclusion: PCD is safe, effective noninvasive intervention that may help in improving 3rd stage progress. Recommendation: PCD should be added to third stage of labour intervention protocol.

Preeclampsia is a specific condition in pregnancy characterized by placental dysfunction and maternal response to the presence of stem inflammation with endothelial activation and coagulation. The diagnosis of preeclampsia is based on the presence of hypertension and proteinuria at 20 weeks of gestation. This type of research is an analytic survey with cross-sectional study design. The population in this study are all mothers who come to visit the KIA Poly Room at Lasinrang Pinrang Regional Hospital. The sampling technique used in this study is Accidental Sampling. the number of samples in this study was 134 people. This research will be conducted at Lasinrang Pinrang Regional Hospital in July to August 2019. The results of this study show that there is a relationship between maternal age (P = 0.023), Gravida (P = 0.0001), parity (P = 0.0001) with preeclampsia in the KIA Poly Room of Lasinrang Regional Hospital Pinrang in 2019. Suggestions proposed in this study are Expected to mothers who are at risk age (<20 years and> 35 years), Primigravida (First Pregnancy), Multiparity to better maintain diet and be diligent in carrying out examinations Pregnancy during pregnancy to avoid the incidence of preeclampsia during childbirth.
