Accidents are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality among under-five children globally. Mothers play a pivotal role in ensuring child safety and preventing accidents within home environments. This descriptive study aimed to assess the knowledge and practice of mothers regarding child safety and accident prevention in selected community areas in Bengaluru, India. A total of 60 mothers of under-five children were selected through Non-Probability Convenient Sampling technique. Data was collected using a structured questionnaire to evaluate their knowledge and a checklist to assess their practice. The findings revealed that while the majority of mothers had an adequate level of knowledge regarding child safety, but there were significant gaps in the practical implementation of safety measures. The vast majority of mothers (86.6%) were categorized as having good practices concerning child safety and accident prevention. Meanwhile, 11.7% exhibited acceptable practices, and 1.66% were found to have poor practices. The correlation analysis, reveals that there was no significant relationship between knowledge and practice regarding child safety and accident prevention among mothers of under-five children. The computed correlation coefficient (r = 0.001) was less than the table value, leading to the acceptance of the null hypothesis, which stated that there is no relationship between knowledge and practice. Factors such as education level, socio-economic status, previous experience of accidents, and other basic variables were found to have no influence on knowledge and practice. The study underscores the need for targeted educational interventions to further more improve maternal knowledge and enhance the practice of safety measures to prevent childhood accidents.

Quality nursing care is subjective and influenced by individual expectations and needs. Evaluating it is complex due to varying client standards, although client satisfaction remains a key measure of nursing quality. This study explores patient satisfaction with nursing care during hospital stays, examining factors affecting quality and demographic variables related to satisfaction. Continuous evaluation helps healthcare managers identify areas for improvement. Nurses play a crucial role in overall patient satisfaction by providing emotional and psychological support. This descriptive study, conducted with 100 patients at a private hospital in Bangalore, used the “Patient Satisfaction with Quality of Nursing Care” scale to assess satisfaction levels.

Background: Chalazion, a common benign eyelid lesion caused by chronic inflammation of a blocked meibomian gland, often requires intervention for larger or recurrent lesions. Incision and curettage (I&C) and intralesional steroid injections are common treatment methods, each with distinct advantages and challenges. This study aims to compare the efficacy, safety, and patient satisfaction of these treatments to guide clinical decision-making. Objective: To evaluate and compare the effectiveness and safety of triamcinolone acetonide (TA) injection, methylprednisolone acetate (Depo) injection, and I&C in the treatment of large chalazia. Methodology: A total of 60 patients with recurrent chalazia were randomly assigned to three treatment groups: TA injection, Depo injection, or I&C. Patients were followed up at 1, 2, and 6 weeks post-treatment. The primary outcome was the complete resolution of the chalazion, defined as an 80% reduction in size with no recurrence. Results: The demographic characteristics, including age and gender, showed no significant differences between groups. The overall success rate for all treatments was 95%, with only 5% of patients in each group experiencing incomplete resolution. A single injection group showed higher success rates (27 successful cases) compared to the two-injection group (13 successful cases), with a statistically significant difference (p < 0.05). Resolution rates improved over time, with 95% complete resolution achieved by 6 weeks in all groups. However, there were no significant differences in resolution rates between groups at any time point (p > 0.05). Conclusion: This study supports that both steroid injections and I&C are highly effective treatments for recurrent chalazions, achieving a 95% success rate. Single injections were more effective than multiple injections. While the resolution rates improved over time, no significant differences were observed between treatment groups. These findings suggest that either treatment option can be selected based on patient preference, with I&C remaining an effective choice for more persistent cases.

Mononuclear Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II) and Zr(IV) complexes with new bidentate Schiff base ligand 2-hydroxy-N’-(2-oxoindolin-3-ylidene)benzohydrazide (LH2) were synthesized and the complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, IR, FAB-mass, molar conductivities, magnetic measurements, electronic spectra and thermal analysis. The Cu(II) complex was additionally characterized by ESR study. The ligand behaves as a monobasic bidentate ligand, coordinating through azomethine Nitrogen and the deprotonated Oxygen atom. Analytical data suggested 1:2 (metal: ligand) mole ratio for all the complexes. The low molar conductance values of the all metal complexes in DMSO reveal their non-electrolytic nature. The physicochemical data suggested an octahedral geometry for Zn(II) and Zr(IV) complexes, distorted octahedral geometry for Cu(II), whereas square planar geometry for Co(II) and Ni(II) complexes. The thermodynamic analysis showed that the complexes loose hydrated and/or coordinated water molecules in the first step followed by decomposition of ligand moiety in the further steps leading to formation of stable metal oxide. The antibacterial as well as antifungal activities of the ligand and its metal complexes were evaluated.

Background: Preeclampsia (PE) affects 2-8% of pregnancies worldwide, leading to maternal and fetal complications such as abruptio placentae, renal failure, and HELLP syndrome. Objective: To investigate the association between plasma D-dimer levels and the severity of preeclampsia, along with its impact on fetomaternal outcomes. Methods: A case-control study was conducted at Dhaka Medical College Hospital from June 2021 to May 2022, enrolling 100 preeclamptic patients (50 with severe features and 50 without severe features). Participants were between 29-40 weeks of gestation. Exclusion criteria included chronic hypertension, renal/hepatic disorders, diabetes, and fetal anomalies. D-dimer levels were measured from 3 mL venous blood samples. Maternal and fetal outcomes were documented and analyzed using SPSS software. Results: The mean age of patients was 26.62 ± 3.99 years (PE without severe feature) and 27.26 ± 5.45 years (PE with severe feature). D-dimer levels were significantly higher in the severe feature group (2.91 ± 2.14 μg/mL) compared to the non-severe feature group (0.79 ± 0.45 μg/mL; p<0.005). Severe PE was associated with higher rates of postpartum hemorrhage (58.0%), HELLP syndrome (12.0%), abruptio placentae (44.0%), and fetal growth restriction (46.0%). The severe PE group also had significantly lower APGAR scores and higher NICU admissions (42.0%). Elevated D-dimer levels were significantly correlated with maternal and fetal complications, including eclampsia (p=0.020), HELLP syndrome (p=0.011), and fetal growth restriction (p=0.022). Conclusion: Elevated plasma D-dimer levels are significantly associated with the severity of preeclampsia and adverse maternal and fetal outcomes.

Background: Choledochal cysts are rare congenital anomalies of the biliary system, presenting variably across age groups. Early diagnosis is crucial to avoid complications such as cholangitis, pancreatitis, and malignancy. Advancements in diagnostic imaging have significantly improved the detection and management of this condition. Objective: To assess the clinical features and diagnostic strategies for choledochal cysts using improved diagnostic techniques. Methodology: A retrospective observational study was conducted in the Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Surgery (HBPS) department of BIRDEM Hospital, Dhaka, spanning five years from January 2003 to January 2008. Thirty patients diagnosed with choledochal cysts were included based on clinical history, examination, and imaging. Data analysis was performed using SPSS version 22, with descriptive statistics and chi-square tests employed to explore associations between variables. Results: The study cohort comprised 21 females (70%) and 9 males (30%), with the majority of cases (49.5%) occurring in the 0–15 years age group. Jaundice (36%), abdominal mass (32%), and right upper quadrant pain (32%) were the most common clinical features. Complications such as cystolithiasis (24%) and pancreatitis (29%) were observed, while cirrhosis and malignancy were rare. Ultrasonography was utilized in all patients as an initial diagnostic tool, while MRCP (33%) and CT scans provided additional insights. ERCP was performed in 42% of cases, but its use has since declined due to associated risks. Conclusion: This study highlights the demographic and clinical features of choledochal cysts, with a focus on the utility of advanced imaging modalities like MRCP for non-invasive and accurate diagnosis. Early detection and intervention are key to reducing complications and improving outcomes.

A relation is not someone another is acquainted with it. The dominant assumption which occupies the minds of each individual is the bloodline factor. It left many people to commit to undertakings within their capabilities. It is thus a common identity that unifies. It had made people secure. It conveyed the message that they were protected by their common ancestry. It gave people access to the opportunities of the vastness of its space. It was a force that held people together. Everything was set aside to honor its causes. As people started moving in different directions, people’s perceptions of one another changed. The colonial cultures also diluted the cohesion among the people. Present realities have even weakened the entire structure. The new beliefs have worn away the essential elements that held the people together. The writer is experiencing quite a departure of what transpired in the past. Caught between two worlds, he can evaluate the past and the present, believing that the past can be partly restored. This is cultural studies that examines the size of the blood relations now and in the past. Guidelines are provided how relationships can be improved. Obviously, DNA can be used to detect how an individual relates to a group. It is a welcome development, but we keep this study within the traditional method of accounting for groups and subgroups in the large family tree.

The concept of blood circulation, a cornerstone of modern physiology, is often attributed to William Harvey’s work in the 17th century. However, the historical origins and philosophical underpinnings of circulatory theory can also be traced to earlier traditions, notably the Unani system of medicine. Unani medicine, which has its roots in Greco-Arabic science, offers a profound comprehension of the human body, with blood (Dam) being one of the four essential humors. Foundational ideas on the heart, vessels, and blood flow were created by notable Unani scholars including Buqrāt (Hippocrates), Jalinūs (Galen), Ibn Sīnā (Avicenna), Abū Bakr Moḥammad Ibn Zakriyā Al-Rāzī (Rhazes), and Ibn Al-Nafīs. In alignment with the contemporary understanding of pulmonary circulation, Ibn Nafis, who is widely regarded as a prominent and highly influential figure within the traditional Unani medical framework, put forth a significant hypothesis regarding the journey of blood circulation. Specifically, he suggested that blood circulates from the right heart chambers to the left heart chambers through the intermediary of the lungs. This ground-breaking theory, which notably predates the discoveries of William Harvey, stands as a remarkable testament to the expansive breadth and depth of Islamic medical knowledge during that era. Ibn Nafis's pioneering work not only sheds light on the complexities of blood circulation but also serves as a crucial element in acknowledging the valuable intellectual contributions of Unani medicine to the field of anatomical sciences. Furthermore, it is imperative to incorporate his unique and insightful perspectives into the broader narrative of medical history on a global scale, recognizing the lasting impact of such contributions on the evolution of medical understanding and practices across diverse cultures. This research explores the original insights on blood circulation found in classical Unani texts, with a focus on the synthesis of anatomical, physiological, and philosophical knowledge that anticipated several principles of modern circulatory science. With the revival of anatomical dissection in European universities it laid the groundwork for later scientific breakthroughs.

Bryophytes are prevalent constituents of both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, contributing significantly to the overall biomass in certain environments. This investigation has specifically focused on endophytic fungi within terrestrial bryophytes that grew in winter conditions on surfaces, such as house walls, bricks, or soil. During these periods, species such as Bryum capillare, Polytrichum commune, and Riccia bifurca are commonly observed. These kinds of bryophyte plants during the monsoons do come alive again. These examine the distribution of fungi associated with these bryophyte species. We collected three bryophyte samples from the delta region. Twenty-seven fungal species and 108 endophyte isolates were obtained from 450 tissue segments from three plants. Endophyte isolates belonging to Ascomycetes, Coeleomycetes, Hyphomycetes, Sterile forms, Yeast-like strains and Zygomycetes were recorded. Thus, its diversity was found to be based on the fungi it isolated. The endophyte species were calculated using the method of diversity index, CF%, RPO, species index, and species richness index. We have suggested that even in a relatively small region, the diversity of fungal species can be found in desiccation-tolerant environments.

The COVID-19 pandemic opened the way for innovative medical education since the face-to-face teaching method for orthodontics before the pandemic was impracticable. This study assessed the acceptability of the learning strategies adopted for teaching orthodontics in the Southern Nigerian Dental schools during the COVID-19 pandemic by the students, the associated challenges faced by them, and their coping strategies. This was a descriptive cross-sectional study conducted among Southern Nigerian dental students using a semi-structured Google form questionnaire. Information on socio-demographic data, learning platforms adopted for teaching Orthodontics during the COVID-19 pandemic, acceptability of these platforms, possible challenges faced by the students, and their coping strategies were collected. Data was inputted and analyzed using descriptive statistics (mean and frequency) and inferential statistics (Z-test). The test of significance was set at P< 0.05. There were 118 participants, 64 (54.2%) males and 54 (45.8%) females with a mean age of 25.738+/- 2.94 yrs. The platforms adopted mostly include Zoom, WhatsApp, and Google Meet. Seventy-two (61.0%) respondents accepted the teaching platforms adopted during the pandemic and the challenges faced by the respondents were mainly lack of hands-on clinical sessions and network problems. Forty-seven (40%) of the participants coped by using self-directed learning, 20 (17.2%) used YouTube videos. Most of the students accepted the innovative teaching platforms adopted for teaching Orthodontics during the COVID-19 pandemic. Lack of hands-on clinical sessions was the major challenge faced by the students then and they coped well by using self-directed learning and YouTube videos.

Introduction: Thyroid hormone resistance (RTHβ) is a rare disorder characterized by reduced tissue responsiveness to thyroid hormones (THs). It is primarily caused by mutations in the thyroid hormone receptor beta (THRB) gene. This case describes a two-year-old boy diagnosed with RTHβ following the incidental detection of elevated thyroid hormones during a routine checkup. The clinical presentation, laboratory findings, genetic analysis, and implications for management are discussed, highlighting the complexities of this rare condition. Patient concern and Clinical Finding: A two-year-old boy was referred to the Pediatric Endocrinology Department due to elevated FT4 and FT3 levels with normal TSH identified in routine blood tests. Born at 36 weeks after an uneventful pregnancy to non-consanguineous parents, the child had normal growth and development until subtle symptoms, such as reduced physical activity, weight loss despite adequate nutrition, and warm, sweaty skin, were observed. Physical examination showed no goiter or ophthalmopathy, with neurological development appropriate for age and weight and height within normal percentiles. Laboratory tests revealed elevated thyroid hormone levels, negative thyroid antibodies, and normal thyroid ultrasound findings. Diagnosis/Intervention/Outcomes: The diagnosis of resistance to thyroid hormone beta (RTHβ) was confirmed through whole exome sequencing, which identified a heterozygous missense mutation in the THRB gene (c.1313G>A; p.R438H). This de novo mutation ruled out inheritance and suggested a sporadic origin. Regular monitoring of thyroid function tests and clinical follow-ups ensured biochemical stability and vigilance for potential symptoms of thyroid dysfunction. The child remained clinically euthyroid with normal growth and development, showing peripheral adaptation to altered thyroid hormone signaling. Long-term surveillance was recommended to monitor for any late-onset complications or thyroid-related symptoms, with an overall favorable prognosis. Conclusion: This case illustrates the complexities of diagnosing and managing RTHβ in a pediatric patient. The identification of a THRB mutation provided a definitive diagnosis and emphasized the utility of genetic testing. Long-term follow-up is essential to monitor the clinical course and adjust management as needed. Further studies are required to elucidate the genotype-phenotype correlations in RTHβ and optimize treatment strategies.

Prosecutors have an important role in law enforcement in society that has a strategic role and position, because they act as a filter in the investigation and examination process in court. The purpose of this study is to find and analyze the regulation of the authority of state attorneys in handling civil and state administrative cases today, to find and analyze the weaknesses of the regulation of the authority of state attorneys in handling civil and state administrative cases today, to find a reconstruction of the regulation of the authority of state attorneys in handling civil and state administrative cases based on the value of justice. The research method uses the constructivism paradigm, with a sociological legal approach method, and a descriptive research type. The types and sources of data use secondary data in the form of primary legal materials, secondary legal materials, and tertiary legal materials. The data collection method uses literature, and qualitative analysis methods. The results of the study are: 1). The regulation of the authority of state attorneys in handling civil and State Administrative cases is not yet fair, namely in the current era, there will be many activities that involve the active role of the government, both legal entities and State Administrative officials, in relations with the community. It is not uncommon for the authority of the government to be disturbed so that efforts are needed to protect and uphold the authority of the government; 2). The weaknesses of the regulation of the authority of state attorneys in handling civil and State Administrative cases currently consist of weaknesses in the aspects of legal substance, legal structure and legal culture. The weakness of the legal substance aspect is the absence of a legal statue that specifically and firmly regulates state attorneys, considering that the authority of the Prosecutor as a State Attorney in the civil field is increasingly important. The weakness of the legal structure aspect is the lack of synergy that causes overlapping authority. The weakness of the legal culture aspect is that in the current technological era, crimes can be committed through technology/electronics.
