Mushroom is a highly nutritive food which consumption imparted numerous health benefits; hence now a days demand for mushrooms has been increasing among people which opens the path for business for farmers especially for the rural youths. To take mushroom cultivation as a successful enterprise and to earn higher profit training plays an important role and one must have handful knowledge and skills on it. The present study was conducted to assess the status of knowledge gain and skill development through pre and post training evaluation of mushroom cultivation training on the basis of a structured questionnaire. The feedback of the trainees were also taken to bring improvement in the near future. In the present study 162 nos. of trainees were selected from ARYA (Attracting and retaining youth in agriculture) villages of Lakhimpur districts of Assam and also the farmers who are associated with the KVK, Lakhimpur and showed interests in participation on such trainings. Apart from knowledge and skill developments, the farmers especially rural youths were motivated to develop entrepreneurship by showing the future prospects and profitability of the mushroom enterprise.
Background: Hypotension following spinal anaesthesia during elective caesarean commonly seen either due to
decreased in vascular tone or decreased cardiac output because of blood pooling. Peripheral perfusion index (PI) being
a non-invasive measure of real time change in peripheral blood flow can be a dynamic measure in prediction of
hypotension. This is a prospective study done in Assam Medical college and hospital recruiting 100 Methodology:
parturient based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. They were divided into two groups with 50 parturient in each group
with baseline PI>3.5 and <3.5 respectively. The statistical analysis was done using SPSS. Statistical significance was fixed
at 5% level (p value <0.05). Majority of parturient were less than 25years of age, less than 160cms Results: in height and
weight less than 65kgs in both groups. No statistical significance observed between the study groups in terms of
duration of surgery. The incidences of Hypotension in Group I (PI > 3.5) was 54% compared to Group II (PI ≤ 3.5) which
was 13% and was highly statistically significant (p=0.001). Parturient with a baseline PI >3.5 were Conclusion: at higher
risk of developing hypotension compared to those with a baseline PI ≤ 3.5 following spinal anaesthesia. Thus,
preoperative baseline PI can be used as a predictive tool for hypotension.
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.
