e17012 Background: To explore whether pathologically verified uterine corpus invasion (UCI) is a risk factor for patients with early-stage (IB1-IIA2) cervical carcinoma receiving radical surgery. Methods: A mathed-case comparison of early-stage cervical carcinoma patients with pathologically verified UCI to patients without UCI on a 1:1 ratio was conducted. High risk factors (lymph node metastasis, paremetrial invasion, vaginal margin invasion) and intermediate risk factors (lymphovascular space invasion (LVSI) and deep stromal invasion) were completely matched between UCI and non-UCI groups. Kaplan-Meier and Log-rank test were applied for univariate analysis, and COX proportional hazard regression models were used for multivariate analysis. Results: 1320 consecutive patients with cervical carcinoma received surgery in our centerfrom Jan. 1st2009 to Dec 31st2014. 79 (5.98%) cases with UCI were identified. Median follow-up time was 43 months. There were 22 cases with recurrence. In UCI group, the recurrence rate was 20.3% (16/79), and in non-UCI group the recurrence rate was 7.6% (6/79). On univariate analysis, SCC, neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT), lymph node metastasis, parametrial invasion, LVSI, deep stromal invasion, vaginal invasion and UCI were significantly associated with disease free survival (DFS). After multivariate analysis, UCI ( p= 0.02, RR3.832, 95% CI1.235-11.893)and lymph node metastasis ( p= 0.042, RR 2.890, 95% CI1.038-8.045) were still independent risk factors for deceased DFS. Conclusions: Pathologically verified uterine corpus invasion might be an independent risk factor for decreased DFS in patients with early-stage cervical carcinoma receiving radical surgery.

The study aimed to explore the degree of health awareness among Diabetes patients in AL Hassa region towards the risk factors associated with diabetes management related to: (personal and health habits, nutrition, treatment and medication, psychosocial and social aspects). To achieve this goals, a descriptive analytical approach was followed, the questionnaire was used as a tool for data collection, and the study applied to a sample of (220) male and female patients with diabetes mellitus over 15 years in the community of AL Hassa. The results showed that the degree of health awareness among Diabetes patients in AL Hassa region towards the risk factors associated with diabetes management was came with a mean of (3.35), a standard deviation (0.923), and with a (medium) degree of health awareness, where the field of (awareness of risk factors related to the psychosocial and social aspects) came first, followed by the field of (awareness of risk factors related to the personal and health habits), followed by the field of (awareness of risk factors related to the nutrition), followed in the last rank by the field of (awareness of risk factors related to the treatment and medication), with means of (3.14, 3.17, 3.43, 3.69), respectively. Also there were a statistically significant differences found at the significance level of (0.05) in the degree of health awareness among Diabetes patients in AL Hassa region towards the risk factors associated with diabetes management attributed to the variable of (gender), in both total degree and first field, and in favor of males, while there were no Statistically significant differences found attributed to the variables of: (age, and educational level), in the total score, and all four fields. The study made some recommendations, the most important of which are: Holding educational seminars in hospitals and health centers to spread health awareness among diabetics about the risk factors related to the disease management, especially the risk factors related to the treatment, medicine and nutrition.

History Of

Introduction: India is the second most populous country in the world with two thirds of the population in their youth. With economic development and adoption of a western lifestyle, a large number of people in India will be affected by cardiovascular disease (CVD). As atherosclerosis starts in the second decade of life and many of the risk factors are better controlled if addressed early, health awareness among the school children assumes a central role for primary prevention. Currently, there is no established school health program for health education about CVD in India. This survey was conducted to assess the present level of health awareness about CVD in the adolescent school children with a goal to establish school-based health education, early detection of different risk factors and development of heart healthy lifestyle. Methods: A school-based survey was conducted between 15 th of June and 15 th of July, 2014 as a joint venture of Tufts University, USA and Kolkata Medical College, India in the rural district of Midnapore, India with approval from the IRB of Tufts University and the local ethics committee. This involved a pre-test with 20 questions each having 5 statements, a power point presentation by a physician of the study team, and a post-test using the same questions. The data were analyzed by the cluster sampling design method. Results: Nine hundred and fifty nine students (32 %) participated in the survey out of a target population of 3003 from 11 schools with a mean age 14.5 years, 58% male, 59% grade IX and 41% grade X. Prevalence of known CAD among the parents (as reported by the students) was 3% and current history of smoking (26%) was the predominant risk factor, while other identified risk factors were less common (hypertension 5%, diabetes mellitus 4%, and hyperlipidemia 3%). In the pretest evaluation, the mean score was 41/100 (IQR 33-48 and SD ± 10.5) with an improvement by 7% in the post test results (IQR 36-59, SD ± 16.9). This improvement was highly significant by Wilcoxon signed rank test with continuity correction (p <0.001). A multivariable regression analysis showed family history of hypertension (p = 0.01) and higher parental education (p = 0.02) were the main determinants for an improved score. Conclusions: Cardiovascular health awareness was modest among the adolescent school children in the population under study. A school-based educational program may help improve awareness and reduce disease burden in this community.
