Background: Internet addiction may be a major health problem among students. Indeed, its prevalence is higher than that found in the general population. Aim: to assess the prevalence of cyberaddiction as well as the factors associated with cyberaddiction in a sample of Moroccan university students. Methods: We used an online questionnaire including sociodemographic and clinical data, the Internet Addiction Test (IAT), the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). Statistical analysis: IBM's Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) for Windows, version 26. Results: The current prevalence of cyberaddiction among students was 30.9%, with no significant difference according to gender. A younger age, long duration of internet use (p<0.001), activities of social media (p<0.01) and the video game (p<0.03) were the correlated with cyberaddiction. On the other hand, a significant association was found between internet addiction and high levels of depression and anxiety (p<0.001), as well as with low self-esteem (p<0.001). Furthermore, a statistically significant association was found between internet addiction and high levels of depression and anxiety (p<0.001), as well as with low self-esteem (p<0.001). Conclusion: The study suggests an association between young age, long duration of Internet use and the risk for developing cyberaddiction. Depressive and anxiety levels, low self-esteem, are also associated with cyberaddiction. The study suggests that considering the high prevalence of this kind of addiction, an awareness and prevention programme for cyberaddiction is needed among this student population.

Background: Vitamin D deficiency (VDD) is found recently common across all age groups and may contribute to Ischemic stroke. V causing isch¬emic stroke has been documented in recent reports. Objectives: To determine the correlation between serum level of Vitamin D with acute ischemic stroke patients admitted to hospital. Materials and methods: A case-control study including 60 acute ischemic patients admitted in the department of neurology as case and 60 apparently healthy genders and age group matched as control were recruited. All the participants were interviewed for medical history. Physical examination was done and imaging reports confirmed the diagnosis of stroke by the neurologist. Data were collected by a pre-tested semi-structured questionnaire, clinical examination [body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), blood pressure] For Laboratory investigation of serum 25-Hydroxy Vitamin D[25(OH)D], venous blood was collected and assayed by High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) method. Results: About 94.74% of study populations were found to have low Vitamin D levels of which insufficiency and deficiency were 38.35% and 56.16% respectively. The mean (±SD) Vitamin D level of acute ischemic stroke patients was 18.68± 8.29 whereas 18.07±8.05 in healthy control. Conclusions: There is a high prevalence of biochemical hypovitaminosis D in Bangladeshi of all age and sex groups despite adequate sunshine. There is no significant difference in Vitamin D levels between stroke and healthy participants.

Introduction: Outpatient services usually cost less, because you don't need to stay overnight. Staff members at outpatient centers are well trained in the service they provide. Neurodevelopmental Disorders (NDDs) are a heterogeneous group of conditions that share a commonality of abnormal development and functioning of the brain. Paediatric Neurscience Department of Dhaka Shishu Hospiatal provides outpatient services for the children having neurodevelopmental problem without an overnight stay. Aim of the study: The aim of the study was to evaluate the clinical patterns of neurological and neurodevelopmental disorders of children attending in the OPD in the clinic. Materials and methodology: This retrospective study was conducted in the Outpatient department of Neuroscience Department of Dhaka Shishu (Children) Hospital where a multi-disciplinary team comprising a physician, developmental therapist and child psychologist used to give service. Patients were contacted in Outpatient department of Neuroscience Department who were enrolled in OPD registration from March’2019 to August’2019. A total 3632 out patients were selected for the study. Data were organized and prepared on a spreadsheet. All statistical tests were run on SPSS for Windows version 16.0 software. Results: Total 3632 patients attended the OPD clinic. Nine hundred and two (902) patients were referred to other clinics. Most of the patients (400) were referred for general assessment and ( 400) mental health clinic, Ninety (90) for psychological assessment, Seventy nine(79)for admission, Seventy one (71) to SAHIC for hearing assessment and the lest fifty five(55) patients were referred to SLC(speech, language clinic) respectively. From the patients most of them (24.59%) had motor delay. Then 21.28% had cerebral palsy. After that20.76% had epilepsy/seizure, 14.84% had other neurological disease, 8.89% had speech problem, 6.53% had mental health problem (ASD/ ADHD/ Behavoural problem). 0.85% had ...........
