Abstract: Background: Early Mobilization (EM) in critical settings is defined as any activities beyond range of motion that is initiated within 48 hours of mechanical ventilation and continue during the ICU stay by the health care provider. Immobility during bed rest and the inflammatory response during critical illness is associated with the development of Intensive care unit Acquired Weakness (ICUAW). This study aimed to find out nurses' knowledge and perceived barriers regarding early mobilization of patient under mechanical ventilation. Materials and Methods: Descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out among nurses working in two teaching hospitals of Chitwan. A total of 100 nurses were selected by using non probability consecutive sampling technique. Data were collected by using structured self- administered questionnaire. Data were analyzed in SPSS version 20 using descriptive statistics and inferential statistics.

Abstract: Background: Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is the reduction of one or more female pelvic organs (vagina, uterus, bladder, rectum) into the vagina. With increasing age, the prevalence of POP also increases. Apart from age, risk factors for POP are multifactorial, namely vaginal delivery, increased body mass index (BMI), and a history of previous hysterectomy. Most of the patients with POP are asymptomatic and do not require treatment, but if necessary, one non-surgical approach is to use pessaries. A pessary is a medical device that is inserted into the vagina to provide structural support for pelvic organ prolapse or as a method of drug administration. Pessary use has side effects, with the most common being vaginal discharge (33%), vaginal irritation / pain (2-3%) and vaginal bleeding. Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is a clinical syndrome that shows foul-smelling vaginal discharge and an increase in vaginal pH. Bacterial Vaginosis diagnosis was based on Nugent's clinical criteria. One of the risk factors for BV in......
