  Objective: Hypertension is the most crucial and common health problem in developed and undeveloped countries. Although hypertension is a treatable condition, without treatment, it leads to serious and life-threatening complications such as heart, kidney, and brain disorders. Prevention plays a major role in controlling the disease, which can be achieved by increasing the knowledge through awareness of the public and changing their attitude and practice. The study was aimed to assess the prevalence of hypertension, assess the knowledge regarding prevention of stroke among people with hypertension and to associate the knowledge regarding prevention of stroke with selected demographic variables of people.Methods: Descriptive design was adopted. Using simple random sampling technique, 60 samples were selected. The data were collected, analyzed in terms of both inferential and descriptive statistics.Results: The study result showed that among the total number of people (1248) surveyed, 476 (38.1%) were prevalent in hypertension. Among the randomly selected 60 people with hypertension, 47 (78.3%) patients had inadequate knowledge, 13 (21.7%) had moderate knowledge, and none of them had adequate knowledge regarding prevention of stroke. Most people residing at Kottayam had poor knowledge on hypertension and prevention of stroke.Conclusion: The study concluded that though there was more prevalence of hypertension and most of them had inadequate knowledge on prevention of stroke and there is a need to make the people aware about the complications of hypertension and prevention aspects.

AbstractPlacement of a chest tube drains intrapleural fluid and air. The tube should be attached to a drainage system, such as one-, two-, or three-compartment devices, a one-way (Heimlich) valve for ambulatory drainage, a digital system, or a vacuum bottle. The frequently employed three-compartment systems, currently integrated disposable units, allow adjustment of negative pressure or no suction (water seal), and include an air leak meter on the water seal chamber to be used for demonstrating and quantifying air leak. These readings are subjective and prone to interobserver variability. Digital pleural drainage systems offer the benefits of quantification of any air leak and pleural pressure. Indwelling pleural catheters, typically utilized for malignant pleural effusion, can be drained using vacuum bottles. Knowledge of the design and functionality of each device in the setting of an individual patient's specific pleural process facilitates the selection of practical and financially prudent chest tube drainage strategies.

Aim: Present study attempts to assess the “Effectiveness of self-instructional module on knowledge regarding stem cell banking among staff nurses in hospitals. Methods and Material: Purposive sampling technique with the pre-experimental and post-test design was used. The sample of this study comprised 60 staff nurses who were working in the Obstetrics and Gynaecological ward. A structured knowledge questionnaire was used to collect data from the subjects. The collected data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics and interpreted in terms of the objectives and hypothesis of the study. Results: In pre-test knowledge on stem cell banking, out of 60 staff nurses, 13(22%) had inadequate knowledge, and in post-test after implementation of SIM, 53(88%) of subjects had adequate knowledge, and 7(12%) had moderate knowledge. The above results indicate that SIM effectively increased the ability of staff nurses on stem cell banking. The association was found between the knowledge scores of subjects with demographic variables such as gender, area of residence, and years of clinical experience, which was significant at the level of 0.05. It is recommended that a similar study can be conducted on a larger sample to arrive at a generalization. Moreover, nurses and midwives are part of health care in all the stages of our lives. Thus, nurses must be knowledgeable and aware of recent trends in diagnosis, treatment. Education provides means by which nurses can remain up to date with current developments, maintain their competence and meet the standards of nursing practice. Conclusion: The study’s findings reveal that staff nurses' knowledge had enhanced regarding stem cell banking. Key words: Stem cell banking, Knowledge, Staff nurses.

Background: Empyema thoracis (ET) is a serious infection of the pleural space. Despite the availability of broad spectrum antibacterial, improved vaccination coverage and better diagnostic tools, Empyema Thoracis remains associated with high morbidity worldwide. Delay   in   early   diagnosis,   failure   to institute   appropriate   antimicrobial   therapy,   multidrug resistant   organisms,   malnutrition,   comorbidities,   poor health  seeking  behaviour  and  high treatment  cost  burden contribute  to  increased  morbidity  in  children. The available  treatment  options  include  intravenous broad-spectrum antibiotics  either  alone  or  in  combination  with surgical  procedure  (thoracocentesis,  chest  tube  drainage, fibrinolytic  therapy,  decortications  with  video  assistedthoracoscopic surgery (VATS) and open drainage. Methods: Fifty Children between 1 month to 16 years admitted in the Pediatrics Ward, PICU of College of Medical Sciences, Bharatpur,Nepal. Data analysis was done by SPSS 24.0. Results: Present study found that according to blood culture, 3(6.0%) patients had enterococcus, 40(80.0%) patients had no growth, 2(4.0%) patients had pseudomonas, 4(8.0%) patients had staphylococcus and 1(2.0%) patients had streptococcus. We found that 20(40.0%) patients had done CT scan thorax, 30(60.0%) patients had not done CT scan thorax and 32(64.0%) patients had Amoxiclav first line antibiotic and 18(36.0%) patients had Ceftriaxone first line antibiotic. Conclusions: Suitable antibiotics and prompt chest tube drainage is an effective method of treatment of childhood empyema, especially in resource-poor settings. Majority of the patients progress on this conservative management and have good recovery on follow up.
