Abstract: Background: Birth preparedness and complication readiness is a key component of safe motherhood programs that can reduce the number of maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality. Objective of this study was to assess the awareness on birth preparedness and complications readiness among women with term pregnancy (>36 weeks). Materials and Methods:A descriptive cross sectional study design was used to assess the level of awareness regarding birth preparedness and complication readiness among women attending antenatal OPD of Patan hospital, Lalitpur.Nepal. Total 332 antenatal mothers who completed 36 week of gestation were selected using non probability purposive sampling technique. Data was analyzed by descriptive analysis frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation and inferential statistics by chi-square. Results: The mean age of antenatal mother was 27.4year.Majority of respondents' were secondary level of education, more than half of the......

Keywords: Awareness, birth preparedness and complication readiness, women with term pregnancy (>36 weeks).

Abstract: Background: Thyroid swellings are a major clinical problem in the general population and majority of them are benign. The initial screening procedures or triple assessment in thyroid includes, 1. Clinical history and examination, 2. Ultrasonography, 3. Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology. Materials and Methods: This study was carried out in Department of ENT, LLRM Medical College Meerut, Uttar Pradesh by correlating the results of FNAC with that of Histopathological Examination of thyroid swellings. An observational study was conducted among patients having thyroid swelling coming in out-patient department of LLRM Medical College and Hospital, Meerut. A total of patients were evaluated by FNAC preoperatively and by histopathology after surgery.....

Abstract: Confinement started advancement treatment (CIMT) is guided by a hypothetical structure, a noteworthy bit of which is "scholarly non-use". This thought got out of exploration with nonhuman primates after somatosensory differentiation of the dorsal establishment of the spinal nerve innervating perhaps the furthest point. The speculation communicates that impacted upper member use is antagonistically sustained by its ineffectiveness to finish activities of consistently living. Non-use of this extremity is thusly learned through operant embellishment. After a period of unconstrained recovery, the animals continue not to use their impacted member in light of this unequivocally learnt direct. The ensuing limit of the extremity is thus 'hidden'. By convincing the animals to utilize their hemiparetic member, relearning reverses this behavior.

Abstract: Background: The incidence and prevalence of lymphedema in breast cancer survivors is variable, and some researchers have been able to establish risk factors for the development of lymphedema. A study by Armer J et al in 2004, found that six to thirty percent of breast cancer survivors will develop lymphedema. Its onset usually occurs up to three years following surgery, and there is a 49% chance of latent symptom expression (greater than 3 years following surgery) 1. According to Badger et al in 2004 about a quarter of patients with lymphedema will have at least one episode of cellulitis infection in the affected limb2. The physical therapy interventions are important cornerstones of effective lymphedema management, which can play a vital role in patient comfort and acceptance of swelling3............

Abstract: COVID-19 a new pandemic is now a global crisis with virus infection as acute respiratory syndrome. The virus SARS-CoV-2 belonging to Coronaviridae was first reported from Wuhan city, Hubei province of China and thereafter WHO declared COVID-19 pandemic. The virus reported to be originated in bats and was transmitted to humans through an unknown intermediary animal in Wuhan, Hubei province, China in December 2019.The first case from India was reported from Kerala also, traced to originate from China. The virus detected from bats might have migrated to some animals and eventually attacked humans. Later, SARS-CoV-2 is found infecting humans without any animal intermediary. The infection is mild to moderate is diagnosed to cause severe respiratory problems and death in cases of severity depending on other critical illness of the patient.......
