The aim of the study is to identify the level of knowledge among critical care nurses and compliance with international patient safety goals (IPSGs) at the Qassim National Hospital in Saudi Arabia. Materials and Methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional, research design was used in this study. A self-administered questionnaire was distributed for data collection. A convenience sampling method was utilized, to include all accessible critical care nurses at Qassim National Hospital (n=147). Results: The mean of knowledge mean-scores for the nurses regarding IPSGs was high [mean (M) = 0.93, standard deviation (SD) = 0.07], which indicated that critical care nurses have a generally high level of IPSGs knowledge. The highest mean of knowledge mean-scores among the six IPSGs was identified for IPSG3, which reflected a significantly increased awareness regarding the proper handling....

Abstract: This is compared to the vast amount of work done in pregnant mothers and young children, there are relatively few published studies in India evaluating deficiencies of Iron, Vitamin B12 and Foliate in adolescents having nutritional anemia and its association with severity of anemia. In this response to the problem, the national Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MHFW) launched a nationwide Weekly Iron and Folic Acid Supplementation (WIFS) programme in January 2013-14 UNICEF India has been the partner of choice in supporting the universal roll-out of the programme in 14 major states in India. The pre-pregnancy nutritional status of young girls is important as it impacts on the course and the outcome of their pregnancy. Hence, the health of adolescent girls demands special attention and the observation is very high prevalence of anemia and its severity in the current study although is similar to earlier studies, but what is revealing is the fact that such a high prevalence has been observed....

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of fatigue on balance and chest expansion in normal adults. Materials and methods: thirty eight normal subjects from both genders were participated in this study. They were recruited from faculty of physical therapy students and workers. Their ages were ranged between 18-25 years. They were grouped into one group. Biodex lab was used to measure balance pre-post fatigue. Maximum voluntary ventilation was measured by spirometer. Chest expansion was measured by tape measurement. Results: A statistical significant decrease was found in balance, maximum voluntary ventilation and upper chest expansion. Conclusion: Fatigue affected on balance and chest expansion.
