Epidemio-Clinical Approach and Prognosis of Teenage Delivery in the Commune VI Du District of Bamako in Mali

Objective: To describe the epidemiological aspects, clinical characteristics, aspects of childbirth and to determine the maternal and perinatal prognosis during the delivery of adolescent girls at the reference health centre of commune VI of the district of Bamako in Mali. Materials and Methods: This was a descriptive, cross-sectional, analytical case-control study from January 1 to December 31, 2018, or 12 months with prospective data collection. Results: During the study period from January 01 to December 31, 2018, we recorded 1768 teenage deliveries out of a total of 9012 deliveries, a frequency of 19.61%. The average age of the cases was 17.4 ± 1 years. Single adolescent girls accounted for 14.67% (OR = 3.05, P = 0.001) unintended pregnancies (11.67% vs. 2.3%;P = 0.000007;OR = 5.52), the non-completion of the antenatal consultation (14.67% vs. 5.33%;P = 0.0001;preterm births (14.33% vs. 7.67%);P = 0.01;OR = 2.5), anaemia (7.33% vs. 3%;P = 0.009;OR = 2.01), instrumental extractions (P = 0.00008, OR = 2.87), perineal tears (P = 0.0016;OR = 3.05), mechanical dystocies (P = 0.0039);low birth weights (P = 0.039;OR = 2.2) were found to be significantly higher in adolescent girls than adults. Conclusion: Teenage versus adult births are associated with many more maternal-fetal complications.

Analysis of the Effects of Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) Methods to Decrease Body Image Dissatisfaction among Young Women during 2015-2020 and A Research Protocol

Background:Body image dissatisfaction(BID)has garnered global attention.It is significantly correlated with the development of depression,anxiety,eating disorders(EDs)and low self-esteem.BID is increasingly common among adolescents and young women in China,whereas it lacks the effective treatment and prevention programs for BID.Objective:This paper expects to analyze the effective CAMs methods on improving BID,and based on the results,we put forward a feasible and effective study protocol to fill the gap of BID improvement among teenage girls.Methods:Fifty-two studies of CAM in 2015-2020 years in influencing body image and its correlates are col-lected and analyzed,and a study protocol combined“In Favor of Myself”is sent up.This study protocol adds praise,psychological counselling,nutrition education and yoga to the project“In Favor of Myself”,improving BID through group support,shifting attention from focusing on one’s physical appearance to enhancing one’s value,and alleviating pressure and emotions through yoga.Results:Many methods,such as fitness training,psychoeducation,nutritional therapy,music therapy,health promotion programs and internet-based interventions are considered the existing interventions to improve BID.Other CAMs,such as acupuncture,beauty care,Tai chi,and aromatherapy,could be tried in the improvement of BID in further studies.Conclusion:CAM is capable of subjectively changing feelings of bodies,adjusting their cognition of body image,enhancing the body-mind connection,improving self-esteem and relieving negative emotions,but the efficacy and mechanism of CAM working on BID still need more systematic and standardized research.
