Present Case Study

Background: The integrated childhood development services (ICDS) scheme, launched on 2nd November 1975 is India’s foremost program imparting comprehensive and cost-effective services for children and maternal health through designated anganwadi centers (AWCs). AWCs deliver services right at the doorsteps of the beneficiaries to ensure their maximum participation.Methods: This was a cross sectional descriptive study conducted in 37 AWCs of the urban area in Kathua district from March to May 2019. A checklist was used to assess the physical infrastructure of AWC and logistics available.Results: A total of 37 AWCs were visited. Majority of the AWCs (94.5%) were running in a rented building and had only room. and 86.4% have pucca type of center. Almost half (51.3%) of the anganwadi workers had >10 years of experience. 32.4% of the AWWs received education up to 12th standard. Weighing machines were available in 89.1% of the centers whereas Salter weighing machine was present only in 23 centers.Conclusions: Present case study unveils deficiencies in infrastructure and logistics at the centers. Emphasis should be given to strengthen the basic infrastructure of AWCs which would further help in delivering quality services to the beneficiaries.

Abstract Introduction: Childhood development represents a sequence of changes in behavior and underlying processes, influenced by biological and environmental factors. Screening and monitoring of neurodevelopment show effective procedures for early identification of different disorders of childhood development. Objective: To analyze the neurodevelopment, using the Denver Developmental Screening Test II, of children enrolled in preschools of Administrative Districts in Belém and to map the districts and the percentage of development evaluated as normal and suspected delay. Methods: This was a cross-sectional and exploratory descriptive study. A questionnaire was administered to parents to collect the personal, contextual and family data and an instrument to measure the level of family poverty. Results: Of the 319 children assessed, 77.7% showed a suspected delay in neuropsychomotor developmental and 59.2% in language. The family poverty level variable showed a statistically significant association with the overall level of development (p = .011) and of language (p = .003). Conclusion: It is hoped that this study will contribute to generate an impact in improving the ecological conditions of children and their families, reducing the risks to which they are exposed.

Background: Immunization is one of the most powerful and cost effective tools available to improve public and global health and is essential for every child’s life. This study aims to estimate the immunization status and factors effecting drop-outs from immunization in children residing in Uri, Jammu & Kashmir. Methods: It is a cross-sectional descriptive study, with sample-size of 480 children between 12 to 23 months of age. Immunization status was assessed depending upon coverage of four important vaccines given during primary immunization. Results: The study showed that total primary immunization status of Uri was 58.12% with 91.2% OPV, 88.1% BCG, 72.5% DPT and 58.8% measles immunization (CI= 95%, p<0.05). Factors effecting drop-outs were distantly located health centre (27.9%), poor motivation (33.12%), lack of awareness (9.77%), and parental refusal (in case of OPV was 5.35%) (CI= 95%, p<0.05). Literate mothers were more likely to get their children completely immunized. Gender Bias wasn't observed. Conclusions: Findings suggest that immunization status needs to be improved by focussing on vaccines having low coverage (DPT and measles) by creating awareness and better out-reach facilities with the involvement of community workers.

Banana Plantations

El objetivo de la presente investigación fue determinar mediante pruebas de Colinesterasa, los efectos de los fungicidas organofosforados y carbamatos utilizados en las fincas bananeras, en la salud de los estudiantes de las escuelas: Manuel Centeno Garzón y Manuela Cañizares, ubicadas en la zona urbano marginal de Machala, Ecuador, en el año 2014. Se realizó un estudio descriptivo de corte transversal, epidemiológico, analítico-observacional, tipo “casos y controles”. Mediante pruebas de correlación entre los valores de enzima colinesterasa, se diferenció la presencia o no de lesiones dermatológicas, tales como resequedad, mácula y otras. Concluyendo que el 100 % presentó por lo menos uno de los síntomas en relación a la exposición de fungicidas y que existe una implicación de colinesterasa alterada con una ligera predisposición a desarrollar enfermedades de la piel, (Odds ratio: 1.29), además el 60 % presentó estado de desnutrición. AbstractThe objective of this research was to determine through testing cholinesterase effects of organophosphate and carbamate fungicides used on banana plantations in the health of school students: Manuel Centeno Garzón and Manuela Canizares, located in the marginal urban area Machala, Ecuador, in 2014. An epidemiological, analytical and observational type “case-control” cross-sectional descriptive study. By evidence of a correlation between the values of cholinesterase enzyme, the presence or absence of skin, such as dryness, macula and other injuries differed. Concluding that 100% had at least one of the symptoms of exposure to fungicides, and there is an implication of altered cholinesterase with a slight predisposition to skin diseases (odds ratio: 1.29) plus 60% presented state of malnutrition.

Introduction: A novel beta coronavirus, which was named as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), was identified to be the causative organism of coronavirus disease (COVID-19). Aims: To study the clinico-epidemiological profile of hospitalised COVID-19 cases in an urban area. Material and methods: The workers carried out a cross sectional descriptive study. Period of the study was 01 April 2020 to 31 December 2020. Detailed epidemiological, clinical, laboratory and radiological data was obtained from each case. Above data in respect of 332 cases of COVID-19 was obtained. Results: Mean age of the cases was 45.68 years. Two hundred and sixty four (79.52%) cases were males, while sixty eight (20.48%) were females. Two hundred and thirty five (70.78%) gave history of fever. Mean duration of hospitalisation was 9.41 days. Thirty six (10.84%) cases were required to be placed on ventilator for various periods of time. Eighty four (25.30%) cases required to be administered oxygen for various periods of time. There were seven (2.10%) fatalities. Conclusion: The workers recommend that more research be carried out to identify various agent, host and environmental factors which may play a significant role in the pathogenesis of severe and fatal infections.

Integrative Monitoring

The present case study deals with a controlled drawdown beyond the operational level of the Gepatsch reservoir (Austria). Based on the awareness of potential ecological consequences, an advanced set of measures was conducted and an integrative monitoring design was implemented. This pre- and post-event monitoring included measurements regarding the cross sectional variability and habitat-related turbidity, freeze-core sampling to obtain knowledge on fine sediment infiltration and an evaluation of the macroinvertebrate communities as well as fish egg development (salmonid incubation). The results of the sedimentological as well as biological investigations show a negligible impact on the downstream located aquatic system due to the controlled drawdown of the Gepatsch reservoir. In addition, recommendations based on the findings from this study regarding possible methods for local scale monitoring can be given.
