Men play a critical role in the transmission and control of sexually transmitted infections, yet they are often overlooked in public health discussions and interventions. Sexually transmitted infections (STI) is on the increase among male in rural communities. Possible contributing factors include multiple sexual partnerships, inconsistent condom use, alcohol and drug use, and delayed health-seeking behavior. Exploring these factors will provide valuable insight into designing more inclusive and effective STI prevention programs targeting men. This study is aim to evaluate the Rising trend of sexually transmitted infections among male in Urban areas of South-South Nigeria. This was a cross-sectional study involving 250 women. A well-structured questionnaire was administered to participants. The study lasted for a period of 3 months. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS version 25.0 and p < 0.05 was significant. The results revealed that most of the participants affected were between 23 to 37 years of age, 76% had secondary education, 68% were single, 72% farming, 72% are aware of STI, 72% have no knowledge about STI, 72% have multiple girl friends, 80% do not use condom, 80% has contacted STI, 80% treated STI with herbal, 76% do not treat their girl friend alongside, and 80% had complications from STI treatment.

Background: Dementia is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that affects memory, cognition, and behavior, resulting in profound social and functional decline. Behavioral and Psychological Symptoms of Dementia (BPSD) are among the most distressing features, often influencing disease management and caregiver burden. The prevalence of dementia in India is estimated at 7.4% among individuals above 60 years of age. Aim: To explore the relationship between the severity of dementia and the presence of behavioral, emotional, psychotic, and biological symptoms among elderly patients. Methods: An observational study was conducted at Asha Hospital Memory Clinic over one year. Sixty patients above 60 years were screened according to inclusion criteria, and thirty completed the study. Dementia severity was assessed using Addenbrooke’s Cognitive Examination-III (ACE-III), Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR), and Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI). Data were categorized into behavioral, emotional, psychotic, and biological domains. Results: Among 30 participants (mean age 71 years), 16.7% had mild cognitive impairment, 26.7% mild dementia, 53.3% moderate dementia, and 3.3% severe dementia. Emotional symptoms (33.3%) were most frequent, followed by biological (24.7%), behavioral (22.2%), and psychotic (19.8%) features. Emotional and behavioral disturbances were most common in mild to moderate stages. Conclusion: BPSD were observed across all dementia stages, with emotional symptoms most prevalent. Early identification of BPSD is crucial for effective management and to minimize caregiver distress.

Background: Ischemic stroke remains a major global health concern, with notable disparities in outcomes between rural and urban population in South Asia. Regional resource distribution, care disparities and demographic factors may exacerbate rural mortality. Objective: This study aimed to asses ischemic stroke mortality and age based prevalence incidence in Peshawar, comparing rural and urban population survival and incidence. Methods: A retrospective cross sectional chart review was conducted at two tertiary care hospitals of Peshawar from August 2024 to February 2025. We evaluated adults greater than or equal to 18 years diagnosed with ischemic stroke. Data included demographics, co-morbidities, residential status and in-hospital mortality. SPSS v27.0 was used for descriptive analysis and inferential statistics (Chi-square, Fischer’s Exact Test), with p<0.05 as significance threshold; one-sided tests were applied for directional hypothesis. Results: Off 144 patients (mean age=64.3 ± 13 years; 54.2% males), 84.7% resided in Urban areas. Overall mortality was 18.8%. Rural mortality was nearly double that of Urban patients (31.8% vs. 16.4%; 0ne-sided p=0.084, two-sided p=0.133). Age-stratified analysis showed peak mortality at 91-100 years (66.7%). Conclusion: A clear trend towards higher rural ischemic stroke mortality emerged, underscoring the need for enhanced rural stroke services and policy reforms.
