Non probability convenience sampling is used. Expected Results: This study is planned to assess serum vitamin D its health problem in children with Protein energy malnutrition. Hence, it expected that significant association between serum vitamin D level and its health problem (Weakness, lethargy, pain, developmental delay, fracture).
Introduction: Hirschsprung's disease is the most common cause of large intestinal obstructing in neonates. Hirschsprung's disease is a congenital anomaly caused by migratory failure of neural crest cells leading to abnormal innervations of the bowel .The defect begins in the internal and sphincter and extends proximally for a variable length of gut. Hirschprung's disease is a disorder of the gut caused due to congenital absence of ganglion cells in the sub-mucosal and myenteric plexus of intestine. This disease is also known as megacolon or congenital Aganglionic megacolon. Case presentation: A 2 years old male child, known case of Hirschprung’s disease, was brought to AVBRH for further management. As narrated by the mother, the child was not passing stool since birth. There was no history of abdominal distention, vomiting or fever. The child pass the stool with the help of enema which was given to the child in the morning and evening. Mast. Devansh has past history of NICU stay. In View of not passing stools, USG of abdomen and pelvis done. Endorectal pull through surgery was done on 4/02/2021 under general anesthesia. No any past surgical history. There is a past history of rectal biopsy done in 1 1/2 month of age. Conclusion:The patient was admitted in AVBRH for further management. Then the report mainly focused on surgical management and quality nursing care due to which patient was discharged without any further complication and satisfaction.
Background: The first scientific paper reporting children with Angelman Syndrome was written by Dr. Harry Angelman, an English physician at Warrington General Hospital. Based on Dr. Angelman's previous discoveries, Happy puppet syndrome, also known as Angelman Syndrome, was initially seen by Dr. Charles William and Dr. Jaime Frias of the University of Florida Colleges of Medicine .Children with Angelman Syndrome are known for their joyful, energetic demeanor, which includes constant smiling, laughing, hand-wringing, Hyperactivity, a short attention span, and a strong fascination with water are all frequent characteristics. Most of the youngsters who are afflicted also have more difficulties sleeping than usual. Objective: 1. To assess the existing knowledge regarding Angelman syndrome among nursing students. 2. To assess the effectiveness of planned teaching on knowledge regarding Angelman syndrome among nursing students. 3. To associate difference between knowledge score of nursing students with their demographic variables. Materials and Methods: A one group pretest and post test research design study will undertaken to assess the effectiveness of planned teaching on knowledge regarding Angelman Syndrome among P.B.B.sc nursing students of selected nursing colleges .In this study a total 60 number of students who fulfill the inclusion and exclusion criteria will be included. Expected Results: There will be significant association between pre-test and post-test knowledge regarding Angelman syndrome among P.B.Bsc nursing students.
BackgroundProtein energy malnutrition (PEM) is a condition that results from inadequate intake of both macronutrients and micronutrients, leading to a lack of energy. The condition can manifest quickly or gradually, ranging from mild to severe. It predominantly affects children in low-income countries who do not receive enough calories and proteins. In developed nations, it is more prevalent among older individuals. PEM is more common in children as they consume less protein. In rare cases in developed countries, it may result from fad diets or a lack of knowledge about children's nutritional requirements, especially in cases of milk allergy. Vitamin D plays a critical role in bone growth and development by facilitating the absorption of calcium and phosphorus from food and supplements. Additionally, vitamin D has been linked to a reduced risk of infections, immune system disorders, diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease. Aims and objectivesThe primary objective of this study is to evaluate serum vitamin D levels and their relationship with health complications in children affected by PEM. The specific aim is to estimate the serum vitamin D levels in children with PEM who exhibit symptoms of being underweight, stunting (limited linear growth), wasting (abrupt weight loss), or edematous malnutrition (kwashiorkor). Additionally, this study seeks to analyze the correlation between serum vitamin D levels and the associated health problems in children with PEM. Materials and methodsThis cross-sectional study employed an analytical research approach. A total of 45 children with PEM participated in the study. Data were collected through a venipuncture method, and serum vitamin D level was assessed using an enhanced chemiluminescence method. The children's pain was assessed using a visual analogue scale, and developmental delay was evaluated using an assessment chart. Data were analyzed using SPSS Version 22 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY). ResultsThe study's results indicate that a considerable proportion of children, specifically 46.6%, were deficient in vitamin D, whereas 42.2% exhibited insufficiency and only 11.2% had sufficient levels of the vitamin. Pain assessment using the visual analogue scale classification revealed that 15.6% of children reported no pain, 60% reported mild pain, and 24.4% reported moderate pain. The mean and standard deviation of vitamin D levels correlated with developmental delay were 4.22±0.212 and 5.34±0.438, respectively. Similarly, the mean and standard deviation of vitamin D levels correlated with pain were 4.22±0.212 and 2.98±0.489, respectively. The Pearson correlation coefficient for vitamin D levels and pain was 0.010, with a significant level of 0.989, significantly lower than the tabulated value at a 5% significance level. ConclusionBased on the study's findings, it was concluded that children who suffer from PEM are at a risk of developing vitamin D deficiency, which can result in adverse health outcomes, including developmental delay and pain.
