Patients and Methods: We investigated migraine status and cardiovascular profile from a baseline of 1450 participants (65–102 years of age) of the São Paulo Ageing & Health Study (SPAH), a longitudinal population-based study with low-income elderly in Brazil. The following age and sex-adjusted cardiovascular risk factors were analyzed: blood pressure, pulse pressure, serum total and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, body mass index, smoking, history of hypertension, diabetes and the 10-year risk of myocardial infarction or coronary heart disease death based on the Framingham Risk Score. Results: The overall prevalence of migraine was 11.4%, and it was 3 times more frequent among women than men (15.3% vs 5.4%; P < 0.0001). Migra...

They acquire infections like Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) through injuries. This study determined the prevalence and factors associated with sharp injuries among clinical students at Mbale Regional Referral Hospital. Methods Across sectional study was carried out at Mbale Regional Referral Hospital, a teaching hospital located along Pallisa road, Mbale City, Eastern Uganda. Ethical approval was obtained, Printed and soft copy questionnaires eliciting demographics, injury occurrence and associated factors were randomly and conveniently distributed respectively to 322 clinical students. Data was entered in Microsoft excel, cleaned and exported to STATA version 14 for analysis. Results One hundred sixty (55.2%) clinical students had sustained a sharp injury in their clinical practice with a self-rep...
