Background: Dengue is an Infectious viral disease caused by the dengue virus. Dengue fever is caused by one of four types of dengue virus. It is transmitted by “Aedes aegypti mosquito”. Symptoms include Fever, Arthralgia, Myalgia and Headache etc.,. Dengue is mosquito-borne viral illness. Fluid and electrolyte losses, dengue shock syndrome, residual brain damage, Febrile convulsions, Low platelet count, Significant bleeding, Liver damage are some of the complications of dengue fever Aim The present hospital study aims to illustrate the frequency, distribution and case fatality of dengue fever based on the variables such as age, sex and impact of clinical pharmacist mediated patient counseling. Objectives: To evaluate the perspectives on assessment of prevalence of the dengue fever and the impact of clinical pharmacist mediated in patient counseling. To estimate the prevalence of dengue fever, educate and create awareness about dengue fever and prevent further complications. Methodology: A prospective Observational study was carried out among 150 patients for a period of 4 months from June 2019 to September 2019 in ESI hospital Indiranagar, Bangalore. Results: Dengue fever is mostly seen among the age groups between 15-55 yrs. An excess of males were found among reported dengue cases than females 54.6 % were males and 45.3% were females. High proportion of cases were reported in adult age groups (25-35 years) in both males and females, Out of 150 cases Dengue fever 89.3% , Dengue hemorrhagic fever is 7.3% and Dengue shock syndrome 3.33% is fatality rate and the outcome of dengue fever is 94.66% survival rate and 5.3% death rate. Conclusion: The patients with Dengue fever 89.3% and other types are DHF, DSS 7.3% and 3.3% out of them patients with thrombocytopenia is 64.66% and the platelet transfusion done in 65 patients (43.33%) out of them 142 patients (94.6%) are survived and the death rate is 5.3% the early identification of complications might have increased the survival rate and decreases the mortality in Dengue fever patients.
Gastroenteritis in the childhood is one of the most common cause of morbidity and mortality throughout the world. Acute gastroenteritis is caused by bacteria, viruses, parasites, and rarely fungi. The cases of viral gastroenteritis are gradually increasing resulting in a global problem among children. This warrants the need of local, regional and national epidemiological data on the most common agents causing childhood gastroenteritis for clinicians for treatment protocol, Public health officials to implement control measures and for Researchers to develop suitable vaccines. The present study was conducted to determine the prevalence of Rotavirus and adenovirus in the childhood gastroenteritis and its epidemiological importance in a tertiary care teaching hospital. Children below 14 years of age attending a rural tertiary care hospital with diarrhea, vomiting and fever of less than 3 days were included in our study. The sample size was 38. General physical examination, clinical findings and other epidemiological data were also recorded. A commercial Rotavirus and Adenovirus antigen detection kit was used to detect the presence of Rotavirus and Adenovirus antigen from the stool sample. Out of 38 children screened, 11 children (28.94%) were positive for Rotavirus, 1 (2.63%) child was positive for Adenovirus and 26 (68.42%) children were negative for both Adenovirus and Rotavirus. The positivity rate of rotavirus in children aged less than 5 years was of 54.4 %. Diarrhoea, fever and vomiting were the commonest symptoms seen in Rotavirus positive children. There is no single gold standard test to discriminate the viral gastroenteritis from other agents of gastroenteritis. A simple, rapid immunochromatography test is useful cost effective aid in the developing countries to detect and screen Adenovirus and Rotavirus.
Over the last 30 years, there has been an elevation in the usage of contraceptives worldwide. Contraceptives are designed for the anticipation of pregnancy, can be achieved via several approaches. It is advisable component and important for good community health. They prevent implantation of an embryo. This main motto of the study is to assess their knowledge about their present condition and well-being, to understand their state and then to educate and create awareness among them about contraceptive methods. This present study is A prospective, cross-sectional study, a total of (N = 210) patients both men and women (67 males and 143 females) visited ESI hospital conducted for a period of 6 months from January 2019 to July 2019, who are using various contraceptive methods, who satisfied the study criteria were included for the study by taking consent from them. Women had used contraception at some time to prevent unwanted birth and also to have spacing. Out of 210 women some of them have considerable knowledge about different methods of contraception among them 80 % know how to use and 20 % does not have good knowledge. Most commonly used contraceptive devices were Condoms (37.61 %) followed by Oral pills (15.23 %) and Emergency contraception (11.42 %), respectively. Women have only considerable knowledge and positive attitudes towards contraception methods. The present study reveals that women who have positive attitude toward OCs tend to utilize them more appropriately. However, there is still demand for educational programs to enhance knowledge about OCs utilization.
People with and aging above 18 years and are confirmed as positive for pregnancy and who are willing to participate in the Present Study were included and People who are not willing to participate in the Present Study were excluded. necessary information for statistical analysis was collected through Personal Interviews and Counselling Forms and Feedback Back forms on leaflets .Microsoft excel was used to record and calculate the data of Recruited Subjects in the present study and mean while Descriptive Statistics like Mean, Standard Deviations were used. 354 out of 357 of 99.15percent out of 100 expressed their positive feedbacks after counselling's and P-Value was calculated by using Prism Graph Pad Software which is 0.001 which states the present study is highly significant . In India there is lack of proper guidance regarding counselling's for safe and effective breast feeding practices among pregnant women. So as a responsible health care professional I took it as responsibility to create awareness among them by advanced counselling tips and practices. I definitely hope that the present study will also trigger and acts as catalyst for future researchers to carry out the research towards the present issue.
