Abstract:

Retrospective study has reported that cervical cancer is the most common gynecologic malignancy around the world. At the first sight, based on the long-time interval between the pre-cancerous phase and this malignantprogression,and the simple available screening test,in the other hand the well-known correlation between cervical lesion (mainly squamous cell subtype) andhuman papillomavirus, its prevention seems to be simply achieved. Despite all of this concept near 270000 woman's death per year is due to this malignancy.

Cervical cancer prevalence in developing countries is increasing. Epidemiology, prevalence, clinical feature, risk factor and the validity of Guideline based screening approach in our country hadn’t studied in a large prospective study before.

 This study aimed to assess the demographic data on Human papillomavirus infected patient and the reliability of the present screening test, and to establish any correlation between the sub type of human papilloma virus(HPV) and cervical lesion progression among Iranian woman in Mashhad.

Methods

This cohort study was conducted on 562 patients with cervical intraepithelial neoplasiaand cancer,who was referred to the Gynecology Clinic at Ghaem Hospital-Iran- Mashhad from Nov2016 to Feb 2018. All patients demographic, familial, nutritional, clinical feature, previous screening (consist of Pap smear and HPV typing test) and diagnostic test (colposcopic biopsy samples) results were collected and analysis by SPSS. All the participant were follow up for assessing the progression strength of each HPV subtype during the time. The HPV infected patients were divided into 5 subgroups: HPV16/18, other high risk HPV, HPV 6/11, other low risk HPV, coexistence of high and low risk HPV cases.

E-health has become of paramount importance over the last two decades where the overall reduce the cost of provision of healthcare, improve quality of care and reduce medical errors. The most significant problem is the protection of patients’ data privacy. In the United Arab Emirates, the Dubai Healthcare City maintains its own data protection system (Regulations No. 7 of 2013). The DHCC is a free zone and the healthcare hub of Dubai where it hosts a group of international healthcare professionals and service providers. If the patients are reluctant or refuse to participate in health care system due to lack of privacy laws and regulations, the benefit of the full-fledged e-health care system cannot be materialized. The research study investigated the important characteristics, factors and highlighted possible issues of e-health privacy in Dubai through the perception of the citizens using the e-health care facilities. In the quantitative study, respondents comprised of Health Care Professionals (n=46) and Healthcare Users (n=187) in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The survey findings that was significant was firstly, the public perception on the data collected are recorded accurately and precisely, secondly, their rights have not been violated and thirdly, they trust the e-health services systems offered in Dubai. There was found to be no significance difference between the nationality and the privacy data statements. The policy analysis and impact can be shaped based on the findings in order to evaluate the success in realizing current strategies and an action plan.

Dr.Alfredo Lazaro Ludeña Gutierrez represents the Agro industrial and Agro alimentary Department of the National University of Piura. He is the Director of Agro industrial Department of the National University of Piura.

 

Abstract:

The study found  280 ug/ kg of acrylamide(carcinogenic with genotoxic potential) in experimental carob syrup samples that were  submitted at a constant temperature of 110 ºC; less than the  303 ug/kg  founded by the commercial samples. Correlatively, this results indicated that the more time of exposure of solids soluble and water evaporation during a constant temperature cooking, is related to a higher content of acrylamide in carob syrup.  The  different quantity of acrylamide contains in the carob syrup marks  depends on the productive method, having a variety range from 0 ug/kg of acrylamide to 303 ug/kg. Additionally, the more concentration of solids  caused by the temperature,  major are the soluble solids that increase other components different than sugars which contribute  to a bitterness flavor in carob syrup.

The  few per capita consumption and the low frequency of carob syrup consume in the range delimited from 0.7 g/ person.day contribute to not to pass the values limits of acrylamide intake. The combinated presence of acrylamide and HMF (hydroxymethylfurfural)  do not overcome  the maximum limit consumption of acrylamide;in other words it is not dangerous(real) for the  human health considering the low rate of  peruvian intake.

There are some commercial samples that indicates an acrylamide result of 0 ug/kg which are probably related to an optimal technical process or  the metabolization to another elements that are not studied yet. On the other hand,  a young person  with a lower weight of 63.7 kg , do not should eat more than 25 daily portions of 42 g of carob syrup with a acrylamide content of 0.303 mg/kg(ppm); instead an adult with a 71.3 kg weight  can intake 28 daily portions of carob syrup without  any associated  health risk  to acrylamide consumption. Finally,  the less contain of acrylamide in carob syrup is associated to a major daily portions of carob syrup consumption.

HIT and digital health, enable the efficient handling of the collected data both on the clinical and administrative levels. IoT enables now the connectivity of a medical device "Thing" to the Internet.

The starting point of every architecture for Digital health is always the patient and the patient's "Skin" interface To the "Thing" (S2T). However, this crucial element is often overlooked by medical device developers, left for a later stage of design although at times, it may be the determining factor of implementation of the entire digital health process. Most of the focus is directed to the computing and cloud technologies, the electronics and gateways Apps of the data.

When designing a wearable device as a starting point of the digital health process, engineering teams are becoming more and more familiar with Human Factor and Ergonomics elements. These are most crucial with any S2T ("Skin to Thing") solution or a medical patch to adhere the device to the patient's skin. Endless applications such as monitoring, nerve stimulation, drug delivery and many more, are now transforming healthcare as we used to know it.

Crucial factors such as biocompatibility and regulation requirements, the possible material interactions due to manufacturing technologies and comfortability to the end user – these aspects of body/machine interface should be given their deserved attention in order to assure the successful usage and benefits of current technological breakthrough is medical device, fitness, healthcare & pharmaceuticals industries.
