“…Current study shows that male children were predominantly admitted compared to females. Similar findings were found in the study conducted by Joshi, et al 12 and others. 13 , 14 This could be due to higher acceptance of parents to admit their sons compared to their daughters 15 but could also be due to the variable gender composition of the study population.…”

Introduction: Acute respiratory infection is a major cause of mortality and morbidity among under-five children in developing countries. Children under five years of age are most vulnerable to various common but treatable conditions. The objective of this study is to find the prevalence of acute respiratory infections among under-five hospitalized children in a tertiary hospital of central Nepal. Methods: This was a descriptive cross-sectional study conducted in a tertiary hospital of Nepal from January 2018 to December 2019. Ethical approval was taken from the Institutional review committee (Reference No: 2020-073). Convenience sampling technique was used. Data was entered in the Microsoft excel sheet, then extracted and analyzed in the Statistical package of Social Sciences version 20. Point estimate at 95% Confidence Interval was calculated along with frequency and percentage and presented in tables and figures. Results: Among 660 children in our study, the prevalence of acute respiratory infection among hospitalized under-five children was 242 (36.67%) (32.99-40.34 at 95% Confidence Interval). Fever and cough were the most common presenting complaints among these children seen in 196 (81%) and 185 (76%) respectively. Stunting and wasting were seen in 37 (15%) and 26 (10.7%) of these children with acute respiratory infection while 6 (2.5%) of them were found overweight. Conclusions: Acute respiratory infection is the most common reason for hospital admission among children under five years of age and the prevalence was high as compared to the standard study. The chief complaints are fever and cough.

“…The intermittent supply of water in urban areas like Kathmandu and Bharatpur causes crosscontamination of water distribution channels and sewage systems posing a threat to public health (Cairncross & Feachem 2019). Joshi et al (2019) reported enteric fever cases throughout the year with 43.06% of cases in the rainy and summer season between May to August. In this study, on a monthly basis, we observed that most cases (20.2%) were in June and the least was in both January and October with 1.9% of cases in each.…”

“…The seasonal occurrence of enteric fever is found to be variable in various regions throughout the globe (Saad et al 2018). In Nepal, enteric fever is predominant mostly in the rainy season (Singh et al 2011, Joshi et al 2019. Implementation of strategies of addressing environmental factors like improved public sanitation and provision of safe drinking water at the local level aids to decrease the risk of acquired enteric fever (Bhutta et al 2018).…”

Enteric fever is of public health concern globally, more in the developing countries, which has been causing many morbidity and mortality in low- and middle-income countries. It is mostly related to poor sanitation and contaminated drinking water. This study aims to study the seasonal variation of enteric fever seen in Kathmandu valley and antimicrobial susceptibility profiles of the isolated bacteria. Therefore, blood culture of suspected patients of enteric fever was conducted from April 2018 to April 2020 using standard microbiological techniques; antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed following Clinical and Laboratory Standard Institute -2017 guidelines. During the study, 104 isolates of Salmonella enteric were isolated, of which Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi were 77.9%, while Salmonella enterica serovars Paratyphi A and B were 21.1% and 1% respectively. Although enteric fever was prevalent throughout the year, the highest number of cases was during the summer. With the increase in temperature, there was also an increase in the cases. Antimicrobial susceptibility profile recorded high resistance of isolates towards Nalidixic acid (97.1%) and Ciprofloxacin (91.3%) while 96% sensitivity to both Ampicillin and Cefixime. This study revealed the occurrence of enteric fever throughout the year, but a large number of cases (51%) are concentrated in the monsoon. Similarly, the resistance of fluoroquinolones reached an alarming state making them inappropriate for use. Ampicillin and Cefixime can be the drug of choice for empirical therapy of enteric fever.

Study of human motion has been paying attention. From manual goniometer which consists of moving arm and a protector to assess the range of motion had been developed into equipment with strain gauge, flex sensor and many more. In recent years, the advance of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) has boosted the use of inertia measurement unit (IMU). MPU 6050 is one of the IMU used in this study to assess wrist range of motion. Algorithm using Arduino has developed to improve the accuracy. A Bluetooth module is used to communicate with smartphone. An android application is developed to display data on smartphone. The device is tested to validate the reliability of measuring wrist range of motion. First test is carried out to test for the stability of each axis at 300, 600 and 900. For roll axis (counter-clockwise) and pitch axis (counter-clockwise) shows fluctuation. The other axis show slightly fluctuation. When tested on human wrist, the device able to give error in the range of 10 – 50. The result from device is compared with manual goniometer performed by physiotherapist. Placement of device o back of hand may affect the result. Front spot, middle spot and end spot placement has been tested to see the relationship. From testing, middle spot and end spot show better result compare to front spot. In performing radial deviation and ulnar deviation, end spot show significant closer result. However, this placement restricts the movement of wrist. Middle spot give overall close result.
