Background: In 2017, incidence of STI accounted for 54.6% of all communicable diseases. Syphilis, gonorrhea and trichomoniasis per 10000 populations are higher than the national average and congenital syphilis has been registered regularly over the past 5 years, which is a major problem today. Thus the study aims to research the knowledge, attitude and practice of sexually transmitted diseases in adults of Dornod Aimag. Methods: The population of Dornod aimag was divided into 4 clusters and one cluster from the aimag center and remaining 3 clusters from soums were selected for the study based on the ratio of population aged between 16-49 years. Random sampling was used to select participants from aimag center and 13 soums and total of 342 people selected for the study. Results: Knowledge of sexually transmitted diseases is insufficient. There is no difference in the level of knowledge of sexually transmitted infections between men and women (p = 0.352). There is a difference in the level of knowledge between age groups and the knowledge level increases with age (p = 0.001). For the question about casual sexual behavior, 21.1% of respondents had casual sex intercourse 2-5 times. Gender differences were seen in attitudes toward casual sex, as 27.8% of male and 14.5% of females had casual sex 2-5 times (p=0.000). 18.1% of respondents used condoms during casual sex, while 13.5% occasionally used condoms, and considering the gender of participants, 24.9% of men and 11.6% of women (p = 0.000) used condom during casual sex. Conclusion In Dornod aimag, there is a lack of awareness of STI and risk behaviors. Furthermore, they have no intention to protect their health due to lack of positive attitude and commitment to protect their sexual health.

Background: When the incidence of the chronic shoulder pain syndrome is increasing year by year, it is necessary to determine the effects of pain relief, recovery of joint disability, and impact on quality of life through clinical trial research when calculating the results of Turem treatment, which is one of the main methods of traditional medical treatment. Aim: To study the effects of traditional medicine chiropractic on pain relief, mobility improvement, joint function recovery, and quality of life in chronic shoulder pain syndrome. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted using a single-blind, randomized controlled clinical trial (RCT) design. In the study, 60 clients were randomly selected from people suffering from of the shoulder joint pain, and group 1 received Turem treatment together with physical therapy, and group 2 received physical therapy. The results of the study were evaluated by shoulder pain (VAS score), muscle strength, range of motion of the shoulder joint with a goniometer, and the Disability of Arms, Shoulders, and Paws Questionnaire (DASH). The research was conducted in accordance with the appropriate ethical approvals (No. 2024/3-05), (No. 2024-18) and confirmed by an informed consent form. Clinical trial research results were processed using T-test, Independent T-test, repeated ANOWA test. Results: The average age of the participants in the study was 56.13±7.13 years in the treatment group and 53.87±8.05 years in the control group, and 55% were male and 45% female. When shoulder joint pain was evaluated by VAS assessment, the values before and after treatment and after 1 month of treatment in the turem treatment group and the control group decreased statistically significantly (p=0.000). There was a statistical difference between the results of the 2 study groups. When assessing muscle strength, no statistically significant difference was observed between the results of the turem treatment and control groups. When measuring the amplitude of the shoulder joint in the subjects, the amplitude of shoulder extension, abduction, external rotation, and inward rotation increased after the treatment, and compared to the two groups, the index of the turem treatment group increased with statistical significance (p=0.000). When assessed by the Hand, Shoulder, and Hand Dysfunction Questionnaire (DASH), the score of the questionnaire decreased significantly (p=0.000) before, after, and after 1 month of treatment in the turem treatment group and the control group. Turem treatment has been shown to reduce the rate of shoulder disability and improve function in chronic shoulder pain syndrome. Conclusion: Turem treatment for chronic shoulder pain syndrome can reduce shoulder pain, increase joint range, and improve muscle strength. Also, turem treatment reduced the rate of shoulder disability and improved function. Conclusion Turem treatment for chronic shoulder pain syndrome can reduce shoulder pain, increase joint range, and improve muscle strength. Also, turem treatment reduced the rate of shoulder disability and improved function.
