To analyze the results of the forensic psychiatric examination in the period of time from 2006 to 2013 year.We analyze retrospectively 7180 material of clients attended to forensic mental examination in the National center of mental health from 2006 to 2013 year.From all 7180 clients that attended to forensic mental examination in the 2006-2013 the 1165 clients or 16.2% were with mental disorders. The 543 clients or 7.5% of all attended to examination were with mental retardation and 59.8% of mentally retarded clients were with mild mental retardation, 33.8% with moderate, 5.3% with severe and 0.9% with profound mental retardation. The 97.3% (n=6989) of all clients investigated first time, 158 or 2.2% second time, and 33 or 0.45% third or fourth time. From 7062 criminal cases 4.98% or 352 investigated clientsdeemed incompetent and from 115 civil cases 57.3% or 66 clients deemed incompetent. From the clients with mental retardation deemed incompetent in criminal cases the 23.5% and 7.5% in civil cases.Results of the analysis show that about 16.2% of all investigated clients have some mental disorders and 46.6% of them have mild mental retardation.

Background:
Postpartum readmission rate has been increasing after both caesarean and vaginal delivery.
Postpartum diseases, in some cases with infection and anemia, result in hospital readmission. Also
it raises the issue associated with maternal hospital’s healthcare quality. There has lack of study
focusing on postpartum readmission. So we will study postpartum readmission rate.
Material and Methods:
112 patients who readmitted in Amgalan maternity hospital in Ulaanbaatar were involved in this study.
We used patient’s medical history to determine risk factors resulted in hospital readmission after
caesarean and vaginal therapy.
Results:
The mean age of women delivered by cesarean was 30.2±7.32 and vaginal delivery’s was 28.3±7.21.
34.8 percent of women who readmitted after vaginal delivery had 1-3 readmission days and 56.5
percent was 4-6 days and 8.7 percent was 7-10 days. Readmission day for women delivered
by caesarean was 1-3 days in 21.2 percent of these, 4-6 days in 56.1 percent and 7-10 days in
19.7 percent. The mean readmission day of women delivered by vaginal delivery was 4.73±1.61
(mean±SD) and the mean of women delivered by caesarean delivery was 5.54±2.34 (mean±SD). In
each category, there had 24.2-28.3 percent cases with lochia. Women who had caesarian delivery
were infected their scar with 24(36.3) cases. Renal urinary system infection had in 12(26.0) women
delivered by vaginal delivery.
Conclusion
58.9 percent of total readmissions cases were caesarean and 41.1 percent was vaginal delivery.
Lochia and renal urinary infection had influence in readmission after vaginal delivery. Also both lochia
and infected wound impacted on postpartum readmission after caesarian delivery.

Introduction: A considerable proportionof adult living donor liver transplantation(LDLT) recipients experience biliarycomplication (BC), but there are few reportsregarding BC based on long-term studies ofa large LDLT population.Methods: The present study examinedBC incidence, from 16 adult and pediatricpatients (14 right liver and 2 left liver graft )between 2011 and 2016 First Central Hospitalof Mongolia.Results: The mean follow-up period was36±1 months. First Central Hospital has DDanastmosis (n=22) double DD (n=2) singlehepaticojejunostomy (n=3). There 3 caseshave biliary stricture after operation. One ofthe 3 cases has biliary laek 2 months laterafter the operation.Conclusion: Close surveillance for BCappears necessary for at least the first 3 yrafter LDLT. In terms of anastomotic stenosisrisk, HJ appears a better choice than DD forright liver grafts involving ducts less than 4mm in diameter.

BackgroundHuman-induced climate change will affect the lives of most populations in the next decade and beyond. The impact of meteorological conditions on human health has been reported globally. There is a need to conduct surveys for correlation between climate change and human health.GoalTo study the impact of air temperature on human health in selected aimags and city districts.Materials and MethodsIn order to study how climate change and air quality parameters affect human health we selected Zavhan, Selenge, Dornod, and Umnugobi aimags which represent different climate zones and 2 districts of Ulaanbaatar city during 2009-2011. All data for respiratory system disease J00-J99, circulatory system disease I00-I99, were collected from soum, district’s hospital, and aimag and soum’s Department of health.ResultsDuring the study period, a total number of 8649 incidences of respiratory disease are registered. From them 74.2 percent are influenza and pneumonia (J09-J18), 17.6 percent are other acute lower respiratory infections (J20- J22), and 8.2 percent are asthma (J45-J45.9). For cardiovascular disease 15288 incidences are registered. From them 65.6 percent are hypertensive disease (I10-I15), 23.6 percent are ischemic heart disease, and 10.8 percent are cerebrovascular diseases (I60-I69). The lower the air temperature, higher the incidence of influenza and pneumonia, acute lower respiratory infections, hypertensive, and ischemic heart disease.ConclusionsCold weather is correlated with a higher incidence of respiratory and cardiovascular diseases.

Innovation 2020;14(1):44-48
Background:
Healthcare organizations are successfully implementing quality management
system by forming legal entity, administration’s structure, arrangement and developing healthcare
organization’s structure, arrangement, functional standard, clinical guideline, rule and employee’s
moral principles. Implementation of accreditation system into healthcare organizations is proof
of accepted standard application. However, the results of healthcare paradigm shift outcome
is insufficient. Also researchers, citizens and policy makers commented that quality and access
of healthcare service began to worsen compared with previous degree of development.
Management capability index presents management assessment by score, assesses outcome of
organizational functions and give chance to measure capability of management.
Methods:
This study was performed at the Amgalan Maternity Hospital, Urguu Maternity Hospital
and Khuree Maternity Hospital. The study involved 480 employees of above-mentioned hospitals.
The study used 9 chapter and 90 criteria that was used in over 30 Mongolian Governmental
Organizations for capability assessment to determine management capability index of Maternity
Hospitals, using Cross-Sectional study method. In the study, a questionnaire with 90 questions
including organization management capability 9 chapters which are organizational goal and task,
leadership skill in organization, worthwhile structure and arrangement, organization’s motivation
and leverage, organization’s relationship and collaboration, organizational culture, resource
utilization, knowledge and innovation, organizational productivity, quality and performance was
used. Organizations capability index was estimated by assessment of each questions in scores 1
to 5.
Results:
Total 480 employees consisting of 220 employees working at Urguu Maternity Hospital,
125 employees of Khuree Maternity Hospital and 135 employees of Amgalan Maternity Hospital
filled the questionnaire. 46 administration officials, 75 doctors, 208 nurses and obstetricians,
105 caregivers and service assistants and 46 economic employees involved it. Organizational
management capability was 71.8, 73.6 and 93 respectively Urguu Maternity Hospital, Khuree
Maternity Hospital and Amgalan Maternity Hospital. It is obvious that there has necessity to
improve organizational knowledge, innovation, resource utilization, behavior, culture and activate
their organization. In result of studying doctors, nurses, obstetricians and other employee’s work
task management, there has relatively little difference of management capability index with
0-3.9% between Urguu Maternity Hospital and Khuree Maternity Hospital while management
capability index of Amgalan Maternity Hospital had difference with 14.7-20.1%. In the work task
questionnaire analysis, no difference was noted but administrative officials and service assistants
gave high assessment for organizational management. Regression analysis was used to assess the
relationship between management capability assessment of doctors, nurses, obstetricians and
other employee of Maternity Hospitals and the result was p<0.001 and r=0.89. It represented the
presence of strong association between those.
Conclusions
Management capabilities of Urguu and Khuree Maternity Hospitals which don’t
implement the quality management system have difference from Amgalan Maternity Hospital’s
management capability. All participants of Amgalan Maternity Hospital implementing quality
management system gave same assessment for their organizational management capability
index regarding of differences of work tasks.

Introduction:
Studies in many countries have found that the satisfaction of medical workers is closely linked to the
quality and efficiency of medical services, as well as the satisfaction of patients. Satisfied employees
will bring about satisfied clients. The satisfaction of employees remains a key factor linking the
internal management and external management of an organisation. The World Health Organization
(WHO) Global strategy on human resources on health workforce 2030 sets out the policy agenda to
ensure a workforce that is ft for purpose to attain the targets of the Sustainable Development Goals
(SDGs). Motivation of health care workers can initiate them to exert and maintain an efort towards
organizational goals. Motivation depends up on many factors, and job satisfaction is one of the most
important factors. Healthcare is a service industry where the overall service experience is important
for customer satisfaction and quality of care (even if in different extents according to the professional
at stake) and that the literature has been bringing about the pertinence of such a holistic approach,
this research was conducted within this perspective. Likewise, it is also known that there is close
correlation between the job satisfaction of health care staff and the total quality of health services.
Different groups have reported differences between the job satisfaction of doctors and that of other
health providers. Various satisfaction levels of health care workers, including general practitioners,
nurses and midwives, have been reported previously.
Materials and Methods:
This study was performed at the Amgalan Maternity Hospital, Urguu Maternity Hospital and Khuree
Maternity Hospital The study involved 480 employees of above mentioned hospitals. The short
form of the Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire, with 20 items, was used to examine satisfaction
with professional life. The self-administered questionnaire was distributed to all people at their
workplaces. Responses of 4 (satisfied) or 5 (very satisfied) were classified as ‘satisfied’, those of 1
(very dissatisfied) or 2 (dissatisfied) as ‘dissatisfied’.
Results:
The study recruited total 480 employees consisting of 220 employees working at Urguu Maternity
Hospital, 125 employees of Khuree Maternity Hospital and 135 employees of Amgalan Maternity
Hospital. 46 administration officials, 75 doctors, 208 nurses and obstetricians, 105 caregivers and
service assistants and 46 economic employees involved it. In table, 87.1% of total employees of
maternity hospitals were female and 12.9% were male. While there had significantly difference for
gender, occupation type and worked year in this sector and workplace between 3 maternity hospitals
(p<.001), age and education level had no significantly difference between these 3 groups. The
proportion of health care staff satisfied with their work was 80.7%. The chance to tell people what
to do’ and ‘Being able to do things that do not go against my conscience’, and mostly dissatisfied
with ‘The working conditions’ and ‘My pay and the amount of work I do’. There was no significant
difference between satisfaction scores of health care staff according to age, gender, marital status, and
experience of profession. When the 20 items constituting job satisfaction were examined specifically,
the satisfaction score showed a difference related to profession. The midwives’ satisfaction score
was significantly lower than that of the others. In table 4, to assess employee’s satisfaction of each
maternal hospital: While the minimum satisfaction was assessed by employees of Urguu maternity
hospital whether salary is equal for work performance, the maximum satisfaction was assessed by
employees of Amgalan maternity hospital under scope of consistent workplace at 93.9 percent.
Conclusion
Maternity satisfy external and internal factors of employees are influenced. Maternity is
different, depending on the satisfaction of other working areas of employment.

Introduction :
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a disorder that occurs during childhood
development, which presents with signs of reduced attention and hyperactivity [1]. Necessary
nutrients, such as trace minerals, including manganese, iron, zinc, iodine, selenium, copper, and
chromium, are associated with changes in neuronal function that can lead to adverse effects on
behavior and learning [2]. In addition to these, social, emotional, behavioral problems, and cognitive
impairments such as executive dysfunctions are common in ADHD [3].
Goal:
To evaluate the hair elements and intelligence quotient in children with ADHD.
Materials and Methods:
This is a cross-sectional comparative study conducted at elementary schools of Ulaanbaatar city. All
in all 60 children of both genders aged between 7-12 years old were included in the study. Children
were divided into two groups as children with ADHD group and a control group. Each group had 30
children. For assessment of emotional Intelligence EQ-i:YV - Emotional Quotient Inventory: Youth
Version (Bar-On & Parker, 2000; it ad. Sannio Fancello, & Cianchetti, 2012) was used. Scalp hair
samples were randomly collected from approximately ten sites around both sides of posterior parietal
eminences and external occipital protuberance. Samples were then packed at room temperature and
submitted for laboratory analysis. The study was approved by the Research Ethics Committee of
Mongolian National University of Medical Sciences (Reg. No. 2018/Д-10).
Results:
The IQ of children with ADHD group were 85.03±16.86 p<.0001 and the IQ of control group
=108.9±21.22, p<.0001. We identified hair minerals such as Mg, Zn, Pb, Se, Mn. We have then
compared to each group and normal ranges of ages. ADHD group and the control group had Pb
concentration that was slightly higher and inversely Mg concentration was slightly lower (r=-0.502,
p=.005). Concentration of Pb, IQ were directly opposite (r=-0.38, p=.03).
Conclusion
1. IQ was lower in the ADHD group compared to control group 85.03±16.86 p<.0001, monitored
group 108.9±21.22, p<.0001.
2. The group with ADHD had lower Mg, Zn, and higher Pb, Se, Mn (p<.0001). The IQ decreased
when there was increased Pb and decreased Mg.
