Background: Accidents are common among children, although these accidents were not adequately managed by community. And lack of environmental safety worldwide child with retinoblastoma label to home accident. Aim: assessment of home accident among children with retinoblastoma. Design: descriptive analytic design. Setting: at cancer children hospital 57357and parent home. Sampling: A purposeful samples of 100 parents according to specific criteria Tools: three tools were used for data collection. First tool: was an interviewing Questionnaire, (a) Sociodemographic characteristics (b) Assessment of child health need and problem (c) Assessment of parent knowledge about retinoblastoma (d) Assessment parent knowledge and practice according to prevention of home accident. Second tool: Home environment observation check list for assessing the children home safety. Third tool: medical record analysis regarding diagnosis. Results: The most of parent had unsatisfactory 'knowledge about prevention of home accident among their children with retinoblastoma, the most of parent had inadequate practices related prevention of home accident among their children with retinoblastoma, unsafe home environmental measure around two third were unsafe home. Conclusion: the most of parent had unsatisfactory knowledge and inadequate practice to prevent home accident among their children with retinoblastoma, the most of parents had unsatisfactory knowledge about retinoblastoma. Also there is unsafely measure to provide safe home environment for their children. Recommendations: Implement health education regarding prevention of home accident among child with retinoblastoma, instruction of prevention of home accident, First aid training should be provided to parents as an essential need.
The aim of this research was to investigate the chemical composition of petroleum ether extract of Tilia cordata aerial parts as well as to evaluate its cytotoxic activity. Gas chromatography and gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS) were used to analyze the unsaponifiable matter and fatty acid methyl esters. Moreover, the cytotoxicity was examined against human hepatoma HepG2 cell line and breast adenocarcinoma MCF cell line. The result showed that thirteen compounds were identified in the fatty acid methyl esters fraction representing 93.71% of the total identified peak area. The major compounds were Octadecanoic acid methyl ester (36.26%) and eicosanoic acid methyl ester (29.42%), whereas nineteen compounds in the unsaponifiable fraction were identified representing 90.56 % of the total beak area. The major compounds were 1- Nonene (30.44%), 1-Hexadecene (24.83%) and phytol (10.40%). Moreover, petroleum ether extract showed a potent cytotoxic effect against human hepatoma HepG2 cell line and a moderate cytotoxic effect on breast adenocarcinoma MCF7 human tumor cell line. So the current research aims to be the first step toward the use of petroleum ether extract of Tilia cordata aerial parts as a potent cytotoxic drug.
Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is still defined as a disease state characterized by poorly reversible airflow limitation induced by cigarette smoke and/or other noxious particle and gases. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of intervention program for adults with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease on their knowledge and practices regarding compliance to self-care management. Research design: A Quasi-experimental research design was utilized to fulfill the aim of this study. Setting: This study was conducted at outpatient clinic of Menia Chest Hospital, Menia Governorate, Egypt. Sample: A purposeful sample of 115 COPD patients. Tool; one tool was used included six parts. (1 socio-demographic characteristics of COPD patients, (2 medical history of COPD patients (3 the effect of COPD on activity of daily living and health status of COPD patients (4 Patents’ knowledge about COPD, (5) adults 'compliance to self-care management and (6) adults reported practices regarding self-care management. Results: less than two third of the studied sample had unsatisfactory total knowledge of COPD, in pre intervention program, comparing to less than three quarter of them had satisfactory total knowledge regarding COPD in post intervention program.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
