Background:
Evaluating diabetes screening coverage, newly diagnosed cases, and regular follow-up indicators is essential for improving diabetes care. However, comparative studies assessing these indicators at the district level in Mongolia remain limited.
Aim:
To evaluate diabetes screening coverage, the detection of newly diagnosed diabetes, and the distribution of specialist consultations in Chingeltei District, Mongolia, and to assess the current status of diabetes care.
Materials and Methods:
A retrospective descriptive study was conducted using aggregated healthcare statistics from Chingeltei District for 2024, 2025, and the first half of 2026. Data were collected on diabetes screening coverage, newly diagnosed cases per 1,000 individuals screened, the distribution of specialist consultations, and International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10) diagnostic codes from 2,448 diabetes-related consultations recorded in 2025.
Results:
Diabetes screening coverage increased from 68.6% (39,677/57,856) in 2024 to 72.7% (41,953/57,690) in 2025. Coverage was 43.1% during the first half of 2026. The number of newly diagnosed diabetes cases increased from 32 in 2024 to 95 in 2025, corresponding to an increase in the detection rate from 0.81 to 2.26 cases per 1,000 individuals screened (risk ratio [RR]=2.81; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.88–4.19). The total numbers of diabetes-related specialist consultations were 9,000 in 2024, 9,127 in 2025, and 7,633 during the first half of 2026. The proportions of consultations classified as active follow-up visits were 35.3%, 54.1%, and 47.9%, respectively. Among 2,448 consultations recorded in 2025, 74.0% were coded as diabetes without complications, whereas 26.0% were coded as diabetes with complications or unspecified complications.
Conclusions
1. Although diabetes screening coverage and the number of newly diagnosed cases increased in Chingeltei District from 2024 to 2025, the detection rate per 1,000 people remained low, and diagnostic confirmation was relatively limited. 2. There is a need to improve the accuracy of diagnostic confirmation in the diabetes registry, particularly the coding of diabetic complications.

Background:
In a study conducted in the United States, there is a possibility of negative health effects due to risky
behavior. Most smokers (88%) started using tobacco before the age of 18years. In recent years, the use of e-cigarettes
has increased in Mongolia, which can be seen by the fact that someone around us is using them. All tobacco products are
addictive and involve risky behaviors. Risky behaviors are behaviors that pose a risk of harming one’s own or others’
health, causing morbidity or mortality. Therefore, there is no study on the level of smoking dependence and risky behavior
among students, which is the basis of our study.
Aim:
The study is aimed to evaluate the risky behavior and cigarette smoking among students who are studying the school
of university
Material and Methods:
The study was conducted by using a cross sectional design and a quantitative research method.
All students of the School of Nursing, MNUMS were included. First to fourth course students of nursing school were
included on a voluntary basis.
Results:
In the study, 87.8% of participants were female and 12.2% were male student. Furthermore, 50.2% of respondents
are smokers. When the physical nicotine dependence test was taken from smoking students, moderate to high levels of
dependence were identified, indicating there is behavioral risk. Risk behaviors are associated with factors such as safety,
violence, bullying, feelings of sadness, use of tobacco and drugs, consumption of alcoholic beverages, changes in sexual
orientation, and body weight.
Conclusions
1. The students have limited scientific understanding and explanation regarding tobacco use.
2. Among the study participants, 5.4% had a very low level of dependence, 34% had a low level, 24.3% had a moderate
level, 35.6% had a high level, and 0.54% had a very high level of dependence.
3. Risk behaviors related to health include tobacco use, alcohol consumption, marijuana use, bullying and violence,
sexual activity, feelings of sadness or suicidal thoughts, screen dependence, and consumption of cola beverages.

Background:
Acute appendicitis is an inflammatory disease and acommon cause of acute
abdominal pain. The application of the sophisticated automated hematology analyzer more
precisely define the morphology changes blood cells. According to this diagnose and treatment
control issues are solved by easy and not expensive way. Recent studies haveshown that there is a
negative correlation between platelet count (PC) and MPV and that theratio of these two values
may be more meaningful. The aim of our study was to investigate thediagnostic value of MPV and
the MPV/PC ratio in acute appendicitis.
Methods:
The patients were divided into two groups based on their histopathological findings:
the uncomplicated and complicated appendicitis groups. Leukocyte count, PC, MPV and the
MPV/PC ratio were compared all groups.
Results:
Total of 186 patients, including 119 men, were included in the study. The average age of
all patients was 10.21±1.22 years. There was statistically significant difference of some parameters
in peripheral blood between the uncomplicated and complicated appendicitis groups in terms
of all index. (p<0.001). Leukocyte count had a strong discriminatory property based on the area
under curve (AUC) 0.714, (p<0.001). MPV, PC and the MPV/PC ratio had weak discriminatory
power with AUC values <0.663. Using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis, the
sensitivity and specificity of MPV were 81.56and 45.7%, respectively, and 63.78% and 71.06%,
respectively, for the MPV/PC ratio.
Conclusions
In our study, MPV and the MPV/PC ratio were useful in the diagnosis of acute
appendicitis.

Result the subtypes and effectiveness of functional endoscopic sinus surgery(FESS) using a microdebrider
Introduction: Chronic rhinitis in children has been on the rise in recent years, and polyps account for the majority of benign nasal cancers in children. Surgery is necessary when drug treatment is ineffective. We use pediatric rhinoplasty. Aimed at calculating the subtypes and effectiveness of Functional endoscopic sinus surgery(FESS) using a microdebrider.
Material and methods: The survey was conducted between March and April 2020, based on the Otolaryngology Surgery Department of the National Center for Maternal and Child Health, using the cross-section of analytical design under Objectives 1 and 2 and the longitudinal design under Objective 3. Under Objectives 1 and 2, participants' information was collected from a pre-prepared questionnaire from their medical history. The questionnaire has four chapters that provide general information about the patient, clinical signs, surgical structure, and biopsy results. The pain was assessed by the “Sino-Nasal Outcome Test (SNOT-20)”. A total of 98 patients were included in the statistical analysis of the survey results using the STATA 15.0 program, and the results of the surgery were evaluated by 20 patients.
Results: In children with chronic rhinitis, the SNOT20 test showed a statistically significant difference of 1.6 ± 0.6 before surgery and an average of 0.51 ± 0.11 after surgery.
Conclusion: In chronic rhinitis, FESS with microdebrider surgery is an effective treatment for children.
