AbstractSchool children become one of the most vulnerable groups to health problems due to environmental factors and poor lifestyles, so they need for a strong support from the environment in the formation of Clean and Healthy Behavior (PHBS) among school children. The methods and props used in health promotion need to be given careful attention, so that the material or ingredients can easily accepted, assimilated and absorbed by the target. The PHBS pocketbook in school is one of publication media of health promotion which had been through expert test and late published, but the PHBS pocketbook in school has not done effectiveness test to the target audiences. This study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of PHBS pocketbook in schools in improving knowledge, attitudes and intentions of PHBS in primary school children. This research was a real experimental study used Pretest Posttest design with control group conducted in SDN Krembangan Selatan 10, SDN Perak Barat 6 and SDN Kemayoran 1. The results of this study indicate that the value of knowledge, attitude and intention are better after the intervention had given to the experimental group A through the PHBS pocketbook in school and counseling, as well as experiment group B through the PHBS pocketbook in school, while the control group has the same value because no intervention was done. PHBS pocketbook media in those school proved able to increase knowledge, attitude and intention in clean and healthy life behavior in elementary school children.Keywords: pocketbook, Effectiveness, Behavior, PHBS, School

Background: Obesity is a prevailing metabolic disorder that affects the functioning of the male reproductive system. Excessive adipose tissue enhances reactive oxygen species generation and is linked with male infertility. Spinach has demonstrated antioxidant effects. The present study was conducted to determine the antioxidant effects of spinach on sperm parameters in obese Sprague Dawley rats. Subjects and methods: This randomized control study was conducted at the animal house of the National Institute of Health Islamabad, Islamic International Medical College, Cosmesurge International Hospital, Rawalpindi, and Apollo lab, Islamabad, Pakistan from April 2016 to March 2017. Forty male Sprague Dawley rats having an age of 8 weeks and weight 160-200g were tagged from number 1 to 40. Every third rat was randomly allocated to control Group A (n=13) and remaining into the Experimental group (n=27). Rats of control Group A was given a standard diet while a high-fat diet was given to Experimental group rats to induce obesity for the duration of six weeks. Weight (g) was measured weekly and obesity was confirmed when rats attain more than 20% weight when compared with that of rats of control Group A. Then, after obesity induction, the experimental group was alienated into the obesity control group (Group B) and spinach treated group (Group C). For sample, rats of Group A and Group B were sacrificed, and the cauda epididymis of each rat was placed in a Petri dish containing normal saline and cut into pieces to allow the release of sperm and then sperm parameters (sperms concentration, motility, and morphology) were recorded under the microscope. Then, spinach (5% hot water extract) along with the persistence of fat diet was administered to Group C for 4 weeks and finally, sperm parameters were measured in this group. Results: Sperm concentration/ml, motility (%), and normal morphology (%) of Group B rats were significantly decreased as compared to Group A rats. However, sperm concentration/ml, motility (%), and normal morphology (%) of Group C (spinach treated group) rats was significantly increased (p<0.001) as compared to Group B (obesity control group) rats after administering spinach. Conclusion: The addition of Spinach in a normal diet regimen restores normal sperm morphology, improves sperm motility and concentration.

ABSTRACT Ovine trophoblastin (oTP) is a natural interferon of the class-II interferon-α subfamily. Recombinant ovine trophoblastin (r.oTP), produced by genetic engineering, was purified by anion-exchange HPLC. The product exhibited a high degree of homogeneity (>98%), and similar immunological cross reaction and antiviral activity to natural oTP. Antiluteolytic activity of r.oTP was established by intrauterine injection in two groups of cyclic recipient ewes. Control group A included 10 ewes which received sterile BSA in saline twice daily for 8 days (from day 10-12 of oestrous cycle). Experimental group B included 17 ewes which received 80 μg (4 ewes), 170 μg (8 ewes) or 340 μg (5 ewes) r.oTP daily for 8 days. Maintenance of functional corpora lutea for 1 month or more was observed in 4 out of 5 ewes which received high doses of r.oTP. These results indicate that oTP alone extends luteal secretory activity.

ABSTRACT Objective To find out efficacy and benefits of early intervention of coma arousal therapy on coma patients after sustaining traumatic head injury. Materials and methods Thirty comatose patients with traumatic head injury were systematic randomly selected. Both experimental group and control group were having 15 patients each. Patients in experimental group were given coma arousal therapy while those in control group did not receive any coma arousal therapy. Glasgow coma scale (GCS) and coma recovery scale (CRS) were assessed before and after 1 and 2 weeks protocol. Results The independent t-test was used for between the group data analysis. Repeated measure ANOVA and post hoc paired t-test were used in within the group analysis. Group A, mean of GCS on 1st, 7th and 14th day of coma arousal therapy was 3.93 (±1.09), 6.33 (±1.04) and 8.46 (±0.91) respectively and for Group B was 3.93 (±1.27), 4.80 (±1.26) and 5.93 (±1.94) respectively, which showed significant improvement (p < 0.05). Group A, mean of CRS on 1st, 7th and 14th day of coma arousal therapy was 2.06 (±1.03), 4.86 (±1.24) and 9.66 (±1.83) respectively and for Group B was 2.33 (±1.11), 2.93 (±1.09) and 4.73 (±2.18) respectively, which showed significant improvement (p < 0.05). When compared between the groups, experimental group showed significant improvement. Conclusion This is concluded from the result of this study that coma arousal therapy is having significant effect on GCS and CRS in traumatic head injury patients when compared to the patients who did not receive coma arousal therapy.

Perceived Attractiveness

The current research asks whether children’s judgments of harmful actions toward animals depend on animals’ perceived attractiveness. In Study 1, primary school children ( N = 359) rated the perceived attractiveness of six animals and judged how severe it is to hurt them, as compared to moral transgressions, social-conventional transgressions, and personal choices. Hurting attractive animals was perceived as severe as hurting another child, while hurting unattractive animals was evaluated as less serious than social-conventional transgressions. In Study 2, we experimentally tested whether the attractiveness of animals rated as unattractive in Study 1 could be influenced by an environmental education intervention. After the intervention, children in the experimental group ( N = 21) rated unattractive animals as more attractive than before the intervention, and this led to judging harming these animals more severely than before the intervention. No changes were found in the control group ( N = 20).

Background: Coronary angiography is the most important and reliable test todiagnose coronary artery disease. Bed rest of few hours is advised after angiography to reducevascular complications but there is difference of opinion regarding duration of bed rest afterangiography. Objectives: To compare the frequency of vascular complications after 6 hoursof bed rest versus 3 hours of bed rest in patients undergoing femoral coronary angiography.Study Design: Experimental study. Place and Duration of Study: Angiography Department,Faisalabad Institute of Cardiology, Faisalabad from August, 2017 to January, 2018. Methods:A total of 100 patients were divided in two equal groups, group A (interventional group (n=50),3 hours rest) and group B (routine care (n=50), 6 hours rest). A 6 French sheath was insertedunder local anesthesia by seldinger technique in femoral artery. Coronary angiography wasdone using 6 F angiography catheters. At the end of procedure sheaths were immediatelyremoved and manual pressure was applied for 15 minutes. Puncture site was observed forhematoma formation or bleeding every 30 minutes for 2 hours in angiography ward, afterwardsthese observations were made every hour till time of discharge. Patients were called for checkupin outpatient department next day and after 1 week. Results: Out of 50 patients in group A therewere 35 (70%) male and 15 (30%) female and in group B out of 50 patients there were 40 (80%)male and 10 (20%) female patients. In group A mean age was (51.02 ±9.57) years while in groupB mean age was (51.50±10.19) years. There was no significant difference in patients betweenthe two groups regarding their age, gender, body mass index (BMI), coagulation profile and useof antiplatelets. There was no incidence of pre ambulation bleeding, small or large hematoma inboth groups. Post ambulation bleeding occurred in 1(2%) patient in experimental group (GroupA) and in 1 (2%) patient in the control group (Group B). Small hematoma occurred in 2 (4%)patients in experimental group (Group A) and in 1(2%) patient of control group (Group B).There was no incidence of post ambulation large hematoma in both groups. Conclusion: Shortbed rest of 3 hours after femoral angiography does not increase the frequency of puncture sitecomplications.

Objective. To evaluate the effectiveness of mirror therapy using motor imagery training on lower extremity motor functioning, balance and mobility in the patients after stroke. Material and methods. A randomized, controlled trial (RCT). Rehabilitation institutes and hospitals. 56 patients with stroke were adventitiously assigned into two different groups i.e., “Group A” (experimental group) and “Group B” (control group). The mean age of Group-A was 50.67 ± 11.18 years and Group-B was 49.16 ± 10.28 years without volitional ankle dorsiflexion. The post-stroke patients under experimental group received the comprehensive rehabilitation therapy along with the MT for LE. Participants received MT near 30 minutes in a day,6 days a week and continued for up-to 6 weeks. Whereas, the post-stroke patients under control group received the placebo therapy along with comprehensive rehabilitation therapy. For motor recovery Brunnstrom stages were used, to assess spasticity the Modified Ashworth Scale was used, for functional ability the Functional Ambulation Category was used and balance was assessed by Berg Balance Scale. Results. The experimental group after intervention showed remarkable changes in FAC (mean difference = 0.79, 95% CI = 0.65-1.26, p = 0.000) and BBS (mean difference = 3.10, 95% CI = 3.21-4.88, p = 0.000) as contrasted to the control group. Conclusions. MT along with the conventional therapy is more effective to improve the balance, mobility and motor recovery as compared to only conventional rehabilitation therapy.

The aim of the study was to answer the question as to whether transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is more effective in reducing burnout syndrome in nurses than the commonly used individual psychotherapy. The study included 40 nurses from various health care facilities located in the Lesser Poland and Podkarpackie Voivodeship suffering from burnout syndrome. They were assigned to the experimental group while 20 to the control group. Two different therapy models were used: the experimental group (A) included 20 of the nurses treated with the use of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), four times a week for 8 weeks, in sessions that lasted initially 10, then 15, 20, 25 and finally 30 minutes and the control group (B) included 20 of the nurses treated with individual psychotherapy employed for 8 weeks, once a week for 30 minutes. To evaluate the results we used: screening with a clinical interview, the Mini–Mental State Examination (MMSE), the Beck Depression Inventory and a Polish adaptation of the Italian questionnaire created by Massimo Sentinello (LBQ). Treatment was provided. The transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) used in Group A is more effective in reducing many symptoms than is the case with individual psychotherapy. Comparing the intragroup effects, it was found that the tDCS employed in Group A significantly reduced the intensity of depressive symptoms among the surveyed nurses [F (1.38) = 57.62; p <0.001; η2 = 0.603] while the individual psychotherapy used in Group B failed to produce a statistically significant effect [F (1.38) = 1.794; p = 0.188; η2 = 0.045]. These include a reduction of depression, a reduction in chronic psychophysical exhaustion, vegetative problem reduction, and the improvement of nurse-patient relations. Neurotherapy with the use of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is more effective in reducing burnout syndrome than the commonly used individual psychotherapy. It also helps to return these nurses to full professional activity. The studies presented above recommend the use of new neurotechnologies in therapy as a result of their usefulness and non-invasive character.
