Background: Human Immunodeficiency Virus (H.I.V.) infection affects motor and cognitive systems and can lead to impairments in gait and balance. The application of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), particularly to the prefrontal cortex, has shown encouraging results in enhancing cognition and executive functioning in individuals with H.I.V., both in the short and long term. Despite the current research, some experts have suggested that incorporating a task that stimulates higher cognitive centers in conjunction with tDCS may enhance its effects. Purpose: This study aimed to examine the effect of tDCS combined with a tracking task on the prefrontal cortex as a viable treatment for enhancing balance and gait in individuals living with H.I.V. Methods: The study evaluated nine female participants, all living with H.I.V., with an average age of 58.8 ± 4.6. As part of the experiment, each participant's gait was carefully evaluated before and after tDCS treatment to measure any potential changes in their walking patterns accurately. Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) was non-invasively administered to the participants' prefrontal cortex within seven days to investigate its possible effects on brain function. Results: Upon analyzing the data, the results demonstrated significant variations between single and dual tasks in numerous aspects, such as temporospatial, turn, and balance, before transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), ultimately shedding light on the potential cognitive difficulties that may arise. Data analysis showed noticeable improvements in various aspects, such as stride length, turn duration, and balance trends, when tDCS was applied. Conclusion: This study's findings suggest that tDCS may improve these parameters. However, it is recommended that treatments be administered over an extended time, which is longer than that observed in this study.

Expired and unused medicines are potentially toxic substances that should be managed effectively to avoid accumulation of potentially toxic pharmaceuticals in the hospital and environment.

Introduction: Newborns are less efficient in regulating their body temperature due to poor their heat-regulating mechanisms. Thermal stability of the neonate is crucial, and awareness of the significance of a warm environment has resulted in better care of the neonate. Objective: The study aimed to determine the efficacy of a structured teaching programme regarding the prevention of neonatal hypothermia among nurses. Material and Methods: A pre-experimental, (one-group pre-test and post-test) research design was conducted in the Government Multispeciality Hospital, Chandigarh, India. Sixty nurses were chosen through the non-probability purposive sampling technique. The instrument employed for the study includes demographic variables and a self-structured knowledge questionnaire. Results: The pre-test degree of knowledge regarding the prevention of neonatal hypothermia among 60 nurses shows that 58.3% had fair knowledge and 41.7% had good knowledge. The post-test knowledge scores showed that out % of 60 nurses, 75% possessed very good knowledge, while 25% had good knowledge. The comparison of both tests' knowledge scores using the Wilcoxon rank test resulted in a p-value = <0.001, which indicates that the result is highly significant. Furthermore, the chi-square test was applied to find out whether or not there was a statistical association between the knowledge scores and their demographic variables. It was determined that the p-value for both the knowledge scores was found to be greater than 0.05 which is insignificant. Hence, there is no association found between both sets of knowledge scores with their demographic variables. Conclusion: The structured teaching programme culminated in enhancing knowledge among nurses regarding preventing neonatal hypothermia.
