Background: Biedl–Bardet syndrome (BBS) is an autosomal recessive disorder. It is classified as a "rare genetic disease" affecting about 1 in 250,000 persons worldwide. BBS is a disorder that affects many parts of the body and cause learning impairments, retinal degeneration, renal failure, obesity, post-axial polydactyly and hypogonadism. It is one of the most well-studied conditions in the family of diseases caused by defective cilia which is also known as ciliopathies. In this study, researcher provide an updated knowledge on clinical features, diagnostic developments and progress in the management of Bardet–Biedl syndrome. As Advancement occur in diagnostic technology including exome and whole genome studies and sequencing it is expanding the spectrum of patients who are diagnosed with this disorder and increasing the number of cases with diagnostic uncertainty. Materials and Methods: A one-group pre-test-post-test research design was used to evaluate the effects of an information booklet on nursing students' understanding of Bardet-Biedl syndrome. Non probability purposive sampling technique is used. In this study a total number of 300 students who fulfilled the inclusion criteria were selected the setting of the study is selected nursing college Wardha. Expected Results: This study is planned to evaluate the effectiveness of information booklet on knowledge regarding Bardet- Biedl syndrome among nursing students, as a result, it is expected to determine the nursing student's degree of knowledge of the Bardet-Biedl Syndrome and to improve that knowledge.
Background: Neutropenia is a condition that can occur in chemotherapy patients. Neutropenia affects roughly one out of every three chemotherapy patients. If neutropenia develops, the patient's health is affected, and the chemotherapy regimen or dose must be extended to allow the body creates new neutrophils. Even though neutropenia is common during chemotherapy, severe neutropenia is uncommon, and infections caused by it can result in significant morbidity and mortality. The protocol can help nurses make decisions about what type of care is best for their patients. Objectives: To report practices at baseline and post-intervention of staff nurses regarding chemotherapy-induced neutropenia. To develop and implement the evidence-based standard nursing protocol on chemotherapy-induced neutropenia among staff nurses. To associate the knowledge and practice score with selected demographic variables. Materials and Methods: A Quasi-experimental research design was utilized in the current study. Pre/post-test design was utilized so the participants’ pre-test results were considered as the control for comparing their post-test results. A non-probability purposive sampling technique will be used to collect the data. The study included 100 oncology nurses’ knowledge and practice assessed by using a structured questionnaire and checklist. The study will be conducted in a selected hospital in the Wardha district. Expected Result: This study is on evidence generation of standard nursing protocol on chemotherapy Induced neutropenia among staff nurses hence it will be assessed by evidence generation of the standard nursing protocol. Will be accepted as the results of intervention that leads to improved Knowledge regarding chemotherapy Induced neutropenia among staff nurses.
Background: : Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is a rare genetic disorder that affects multiple organs that is typically apparent shortly after childbirth. It frequently affects the brain, resulting in a behavioral pattern known as TSC-associated neuropsychiatric condition (TAND). It is clinically defined by the triad of epilepsy (EPI), adenoma sebaceous (A), and intellectual disability (LOI), thus encompassing these characteristics. In Europe, the prevalence is estimated to be between 1 in 25,000 and 1 in 11,300 people. Worldwide 2 million people are believed to be affected by this syndrome. A 22-year male patient came in the emergency department with the chief complaint of delusion of reference, aggressive and violent behavior, decreased appetite, mutilating to self, irritably smiling to self since one month, involuntary movement of hands since 5 months, not interacting with family members, sitting alone and small hard inflamed red spot on the face. TSC is linked to a variety of physical and neuropsychiatric symptoms. We outlined the various levels of TAND (Tuberous Sclerosis with neuropsychiatric symptoms) checklist and provided up-to-date information about these levels in this article. Annual TAND screening using the TAND Checklist could be a simple but effective strategy for meeting the TAND needs of people with TSC and their families.
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.
