Abstract: Background and Aims: The measurement of waist circumference (wc) has been considered an important tool for identifying children at risk of metabolic and cardiovascular complications. To evaluate the relationship between WC and lipid and glucose metabolism. Methods and Results: Cross-sectional study performed with a population-based sample of 588 children. Abdominal obesity was defined as WC above 90 percentile. The biochemical parameters evaluated were the serum levels involved in lipid and glucose metabolism. Children with high DC showed significantly higher prevalence of hypercholesterolemia (49.2% v. 39.6% p=0.022), hypertriglyceridemia..............

Abstract: Disasters pose unique challenge for every medical care facility in terms of infrastructure, capacity, and preparedness. World Health Organization stresses that healthcare workers need to be prepared for a disaster. As nurses are the largest manpower group in the health care team they need to be trained to equip with the competencies required during disasters to rescue life and safeguard the health of the children. International Council for Nurses (ICN) alerts all nurses to be prepared with adequate knowledge in order to respond to disaster events effectively. The purpose of the study was to assess the perception and knowledge among nurses on disaster preparedness. A descriptive study design and convenience sampling technique was adopted...............
