Histopathologic Finding and Pathophysiology Pathway of Moluskum Kontangiosum by Nanda Rachmad Putra Gofur* in Open Access Journal of Biomedical Science (OAJBS) Molluscum contagiosum is endemic in densely populated communities, poor hygiene, and poor areas. This disease mainly affects children, adults with active sexual activity and immunodeficiency status. Transmission can be through direct contact with active lesions or autoinoculation, indirect transmission through sharing personal tools such as towels, razors, hair clippers and transmission through sexual contact. The prevalence of Molluscum contagiosum in the world varies. In the US it is 33%, in Mali 3.6%, in Australia the overall seropositivity rate is 23%, in East Africa it is 52% in children aged 2 years. The incidence of molluscum contagiosum worldwide is estimated at 2% - 8%, with a prevalence of 5% - 18% in HIV/AIDS patients. Molluscum contagiosum virus type-1 (MCV-1) was the most common subtype found in patients, whereas MC

Colorectal Cancer Screening in South Africa: Consideration for National Risk Differentiated Colorectal Cancer Screening Programme by Sphindile Magwaza* in Open Access Journal of Biomedical Science (OAJBS) Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the fifth most frequent cancer and is ranked top six leading cause of death in South Africa. The world standardised incidence rate for CRC is 14.4 per 100,000 populations as reported by the Global Cancer Observatory. The same report estimates that the new cases in South Africa will increase up to 8,000 per 100,000 populations by 2030 [1,2]. https://biomedscis.com/fulltext/colorectal-cancer-screening-in-south-africa-consideration-for-national-risk-differentiated-colorectal-cancer-screening-programme.ID.000372.php To Know More About Open Access Journal of Biomedical Science Please Visit: Biomedscis Are Click on:   https://Biomedscis.Com/

A Review of Iodine Nutrition Situation in Bhutan; Historical Milestones by Hari Prasad Pokhrel* in Open Access Journal of Biomedical Science (OAJBS) Iodine is a micronutrient required for production of thyroid hormones which plays a critical role in metabolism. Iodine deficiency can lead to many severe effects throughout the human life cycle and is collectively termed as iodine deficiency disorders. Salt fortification is an effective intervention to improve iodine nutrition in the population. In Bhutan, iodine deficiency disorders (IDD) were universally present with the first nationwide survey conducted in 1983, reporting a total goiter rate of 64.5%. This lead to establishment of ‘Nutrition Section’ in the Directorate of Health and the Iodine Deficiency Disorders Control Program (IDDCP) in planning commission in 1985. Several public health interventions were undertaken to address this public health burden; salt iodization and distribution, iodized oil injections, establishment of the

Factors Related to Animal Welfare in the Commercialization of Bovine Livestock According to the Chilean Legislation: A Review by Reinaldo Letelier* in Open Access Journal of Biomedical Science (OAJBS) Animal welfare determines the state with which the individual copes with environmental alterations, it is evaluated mainly with biochemical, behavioral, productive, and physiological parameters, allowing to provide them with optimal conditions to improve their quality of life. Production systems expose cattle to stressful situations that alter animal welfare, largely due to increased humananimal interaction. In Chile, Law 20.380, together with decrees 28, 29 and 30 of the Ministry of Agriculture regulate the transport, slaughter, and maintenance of animals in different establishments. However, at present, there are still alterations in animal welfare throughout the production process, reflected in behavioral parameters such as vocalizations and falls, as well as failures in handling by op

Sinonasal Melanoma: About Two Cases and Literature Review: OAJBS Publishers

S inonasal Melanoma: About Two Cases and Literature Review by Bouziane Amina* in Open Access Journal of Biomedical Science (OAJBS) Sinonasal Melanoma: About Two Cases and Literature Review by Bouziane Amina* in Open Access Journal of Biomedical Science (OAJBS) Mucosal malignant melanoma of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses is a rare tumor, given their rarity and the absence of randomized trials, the diagnostic and therapeutic management of these tumors is difficult. We report two cases of mucosal malignant melanoma of nasal cavity and through the literature data we review the different aspects of this rare entity. Both patients underwent surgical excision with removal of the tumor. The radiotherapy was delivered with intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) technique. The prognosis remains unfavourable despite therapeutic progress. https://biomedscis.com/fulltext/sinonasal-melanoma-about-two-cases-and-literature-review.ID.000369.php To Know More About Open Access Journa
