Risk Factors for Delinquency among Adolescent Boys in Trinidad

Issue:

Vol 65, Issue 3: 2016

DOI:

10.7727/wimj.2014.206

Pages:

Synopsis:

Risk factors for delinquency were evaluated in a teenage population in Trinidad and were found to include low academic achievement, living environment and family arrests. Self-esteem, punishment and family structure were not associated with delinquency in this population.

ABSTRACT

Objective: Various risk factors for juvenile delinquency have been identified but the extent to which they are applicable in Trinidad and Tobago has not been investigated. We conducted a case-control study comparing risk factors in delinquent and non-delinquent boys.

Synopsis:

Typhoid fever is a common and widely distributed food-borne disease that is a global major public health problem. This study was undertaken in order to determine the clinical and haematological presentation of typhoid fever in children.

ABSTRACT

Objective: Typhoid fever can involve various organs, leading to a wide range of presentations: from uncomplicated to complicated typhoid fever. The haematological changes are common in typhoid fever and include anaemia, leucopaenia, thrombocytopaenia and bleeding diathesis. This study was undertaken in order to determine the clinical and haematological presentation of typhoid fever in children.

The Value of Carina Angle Measurement for the Diagnosis of Patent Ductus Arteriosus

DOI:

10.7727/wimj.2015.317

Synopsis:

The probability of the appearance of a widened carina angle on X rays is increased by the presence of patent ductus arteriosus.

ABSTRACT

Objectives: We aimed to assess whether the widened carina angle displayed on X-ray supports the presumptive presence of patent ductus arteriosus.

Synopsis:

Low back pain is a common musculoskeletal disorder. The study was aimed at identifying socio-demographic and lifestyle risk factors for low back pain in adults attending the General Outpatient Clinic of the University of Uyo Teaching Hospital, Uyo Nigeria. An active age-group, low educational status, being married, rural residence, alcohol consumption, cigarette smoking and a high BMI were associated with low back pain.

ABSTRACT

Background: Low back pain is a common musculoskeletal disorder. However, there is very little information about low back pain in developing Countries.
