Abstract:Children spend a considerable amount in school where teachers are the primary caregivers. Children are especially sensitive about missing anterior teeth. Immediate re-plantation of avulsed or knocked out teeth more often contributes to an improved self-image and enhances self-esteem in children. Hence, :Aim to assess the primarily school teachers' knowledge before and after teaching first aid measures about avulsed or broken permanent incisor among children. Design: Quasi-experimental research design was utilized to meet
the aim of the study. Convenient sample included 184 teachers (study and control group) at 8 primarily public schools in Assuit City.

Abstract: Identifying the components of a given job is an integral part of job design. Designing or redesigning jobs encompasses many factors, and a number of different techniques are available to the manager. Aim of the study: Assess work design characteristics (task characteristics, knowledge characteristics, social characteristics, and work context ) as perceived by nurse managers at Assiut University Hospital. Subject and method: A descriptive study design was used in the present study. The study subject consisted of all the nurse managers having bachelor degree of nursing. A self-administered questionnaire was used for data collection. It included two parts. The first was concerned with data about nurse managers personal data as age and years of experiences. The second was work design characteristics questionnaire which consisted of seventy four items.

Abstract: Numerous studies declared that exercise (including slight- to moderate-intensity walking exercise) has potential profits for people with cancer. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of walking exercise program on chemotherapy induced fatigue, physical functional status, and symptoms distress among cancer patients. Methodology; A quasi experimental design, pre and post intervention was used. A convenience sample of fifty eight cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy were randomly assigned to either control group (no 28), which received ordinary ward care or to a study group (no 30), which received walking exercise for 12-minutes per day, 5 days /week for 3 sequential weeks. Effects of the proposed walking exercise were assessed by four parameters; fatigue intensity, fatigue interference as measured by Brief Fatigue Inventory, physical functional status as measured with walking distance in twelve minute, and symptom distress, that measured by Symptom Distress Scale. Data were collected four times: before (baseline or day 1), day 7, day 14, and day twenty one of intervention.

Abstract: The elderly population is considered vulnerable to stress. One common stereotype of growing older is that there is a high chance of becoming depressed. This study aimed to assess and identify the psychosocial factors affecting depression among old age and to investigate prevalence associated with geriatric depression in Assiut – Egypt, during 6 months from October 2014 to March 2015. The study was carried out in the two villages affiliated to Assiut governorate and health insurance hospital. The study sample comprised 200 cases (100 cases in the two villages and 100 cases inside the hospital). Five tools were used for data collection, namely: demographic Data Structured Interview schedules, socioeconomic scale, Self-Esteem scale, Social Support scale and Geriatric depression scale. The main results yielded by the study proved that, (65.0%) were in the age group 59 to 81years old, the highest percentages were who have basic education (54.0%). 60.0 % of the studied sample was married, and the majority of them were employees (25.5%). A highest percentage were had low level of self – esteem (58.5%). A higher percentage were who have very low socioeconomic class (39.5%), the majority of sample had moderate social support level and the majority of geriatric had normal level of depression.. the study recommended to help families of geriatric should be involved in the care of them and the caregivers should be trained to provide empathy, sensitivity and understanding to old aged.

Abstract: Maternal mortality is a tragedy for the family, as the death of a mother deprives the child of breast feeding and can result in infant mortality. Maternal health education is aimed at improving health knowledge of mothers. This study was designed to determine the effect of maternal health education on the health knowledge of pregnant mothers attending antenatal clinics in Anambra State, Nigeria. Demographic variables of age group and location were considered in this study. Quasi-experimental pre-test, post-test, control non randomized design was used for the study. The sample consisted of 211 pregnant women attending antenatal clinics in the sampled health facilities in Anambra State. Purposive sampling technique was adopted for the study. A validated and reliable Maternal Health Knowledge Questionnaire (MHKQ) was the instrument for data collection. Data collected were analysed using descriptive statistic of means for answering the research questions (mean difference). The null hypotheses were tested using Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) at .05 level of significance. The results among others showed that mothers in experimental group recorded higher mean difference health knowledge scores (8.99) more than those in control group (mean difference for health knowledge scores = 1.11). Maternal health education had significant influence on health knowledge of pregnant mothers (P < .05). Researchers therefore concluded that maternal health education increased health knowledge of pregnant mothers. Hence, they recommended among others that maternal health education must be upheld in every antenatal clinic.

Abstract: Amelogenesis Imperfecta is a disorder which affects the enamel structurally as well as clinically of all or nearly all the teeth in a more or less equal manner.AI is a group of inherited defects of dental enamel formation that shows both clinical and genetic heterogeneity. Enamel findings in AI are highly variable, ranging from deficient enamel formation to defect in the mineral and protein content. AI exists in association or associated with other abnormalities in syndromes. This case report describes the therapeutic planning and rehabilitative procedure experienced by a patient affected by AI.
