Abstract:

This is a cross-sectional study with the objective of uncovering home and hospital delivery practices among Rajbansi of Nepal. Quantitative tools semi-structured questionnaires, check lists were used covering 375 samples of its resident districts Morang, Jhapa and Sunsari districts. Among Rajbanshi population 69.33% has done hospital delivery and 30.67% has home delivery. Home delivery is practiced by economic condition very poor (18.87%), poor (8.8%) and rich (4%). Hospital delivery is practiced by economic condition very poor (20.53%), poor (20.27%) and rich (28.53%). Similarly, home delivery is higher by occupation labour (24.27%), by education illiterate (10.67%), by geography rural (34.28%). Hospital delivery is increasing and home delivery is decreasing in trend. Status of hospital delivery of Rajbanshi is better than the levels of Morang district and country Nepal, but which is significantly lower among very poor, illiterate, labour and rural Rajbanshi population.

Abstract:

Introduction: This is a cross-sectional study with the objective of identifying modification in delivery practice in Rajbanshi mothers of Nepal. Methodology: Both qualitative and quantitative tools were used. Semi-structured questionnaires covering 375 samples of its resident districts Morang, Jhapa and Sunsari districts and check lists for in-depth interview were used in the study. Results: People were adopting both traditional and modern care practices concurrently. Among 375 households; 40% adopted local clinic/ hospital/ traditional healer concurrently. Similarly 31.20% adopted local clinic/ traditional healer/ hospital, 10.67% adopted hospital/traditional healer. There were 11.47% (urban 0.54% and rural 10.93%) respondents were having traditional care system as a first choice. During first delivery among 375 mothers 265 (70.67%) had traditional home delivery and 110 (29.33%) had hospital delivery. During last delivery, this was 115 (30.67%) in traditional home delivery and 260 (69.33%) in hospital delivery. Therefore trend of hospital delivery was increasing whereas trend of traditional home delivery was decreasing. It was statistically highly significant (p=<0.0001). There was also remarkable increased in using trained Health Worker/Nurse/Doctor at hospitals is 66.4% during last delivery which was only 6.13% during first delivery. It is statistically highly significant (p= <.0001). Conclusion: Trend of hospital delivery was increasing (from 30.67% to 69.33%) and trend of home delivery was decreasing (from 69.33% to 29.23%) in between first and last child delivery. There was remarkable increased in using trained HW/Nurse/Doctor at hospitals is 66.4% during last delivery which was only 6.13% during first delivery. Traditional care was more practiced in rural than in urban population. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/jonmc.v3i1.10047 Journal of Nobel Medical College Vol.3(1) 2014; 10-15

Abstract:

Introduction: In India majority of the individuals remain undernourished. The primary causes of undernutrition are its large population, socio-economic differences and inadequate access to health facilities. Assessment of nutritional status among adolescents is very important as they are the future parents and constitute a potentially vulnerable segment of the population. The present school-based cross-sectional study evaluates the prevalence of stunting and thinness among adolescent girls from North Bengal.Materials and Methods: The present study was carried out among 500 Rajbanshi adolescent girls aged 9 to 18 years and residing in the districts of Darjeeling and Jalpaiguri in West Bengal, India. Anthropometric measurements of height and weight were recorded and body mass index (BMI) calculated. The prevalence of undernutrition was assessed using recommended anthropometric indices of stunting (low height-for-age) and thinness (low BMI-for-age), along with a comparison with the WHO reference population.Results: The overall prevalence of stunting and thinness was observed to be 39.60% and 26.00% respectively. The prevalence of age-specific stunting was higher and lower among girls aged 17 years (70.21%) and 10 years (24.00%), respectively. The age-specific prevalence of thinness was observed to be higher among those aged 10 years (66.00%) and lower among those aged 17 years (8.51%).Conclusion: There is a need for appropriate nutritional intervention programmes to address their nutritional needs. The results of the present study will also help policy makers to formulate various developmental and health care programmes.J Nepal Paediatr Soc 2016;36(2):147-155.

Abstract:

Objective: This study was carried out to determine the prevalence of Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency among population of selected malaria endemic districts in central and eastern terai of Nepal.Methods: Six hundred seventy whole blood samples were collected from the indigenous peoples community, identified based on district public health office records for G6PDd in the past from Jhapa, Morang and Dhanusha districts endemic to malaria, during April to June 2013. Collected blood samples were tested on the sites by using BinaxNow G6PD test kit and CareStartTM G6PD test kits.Results: The G6PD deficiency was found to be in 6.1% and 6.3% in BinaxNow and CareStartTM respectively. In 42 G6PD deficient cases number of male to female ratio was almost equal. Higher proportions of deficient cases were from Rajbanshi and Santhal communities than others. Highest number of deficient cases was in Jhapa followed by Morang and Dhanusha districts respectively.Conclusion: G6PD deficiency in indigenous population group in eastern and central terai are heterogenous. So the testing of G6PD before initiation of radical treatment of Plasmodium vivax infection would be important for reducing the risk of hemolysis following Primaquine (PQ) administration. Rational evidence-based PQ administration may be helpful in contributing towards the elimination of malaria from the country.

Abstract:

β-thalassemia is the most common autosomal recessive haemoglobin disorder worldwide. Although more than 200 β-thalassemia mutations have been reported, few ethnic group-specific alleles account for 90-93% of the β-thalassemia alleles in each population. The primary purpose of the study was to identify the prevalence of different types of beta-thalassemia mutations in the study group, and to establish a genotype-phenotype correlation. Complete blood count, peripheral blood smeacr, capillary electrophoresis and multiples arms refractory mutation system based polymerase chain reaction (MARMS) were performed on the peripheral blood samples to detect beta mutations at Decode Genomics and Research Centre, Sinamangal Kathmandu. The MARMS-PCR technique was applied for the detection of nine common mutations IVS1- 5(G>C), 619 bp del, FS8/9 (+G), IVS1-1 (G>T), FS 41/42 (-CTTT), C-15 (G>A). FS 16 (-C), C-30 (G>C) and C-5 (-CTCT). In the study group, three mutations, C-15(G>A), C-26 (Glu-Lys) and IVS1-5 (G>C) were detected. The study revealed a characteristic mutational profile in the five ethnic groups of eastern Nepal. It is the first report of HbE in the Koch Rajbanshi of eastern Nepal. The mutation C-15 reported as rare by earlier workers was the most common mutation identified in this research work.

Abstract:

Introduction: The upper arm composition is usually assessed based on total upper arm area (TUA), upper arm muscle area (UMA), upper arm fat area (UFA) and arm fat index (AFI). It is closely associated with assessment of body composition and nutritional status. The present study aims to determine the age specific variations in upper arm composition and its usefulness in the assessment of body composition and nutritional status among adolescent boys.Materials and Methods: The study was conducted among 964 boys (aged 10 – 18 years) and belonging to the indigenous Rajbanshi population of West Bengal, India. The boys were selected from five different sub-urban government secondary schools located under Siliguri subdivision of Darjeeling district, West Bengal, India. The anthropometric measurements of height, weight, MUAC and TSF were recorded and upper arm composition was estimated based on TUA, UMA, UFA and AFI using standard procedures. The overall body composition was evaluated using body mass index (BMI).Results: There appears to be existence of significant age-specific variations in BMI, UMA and UFA as the boys approached higher ages. The age specific means of TUA, UMA and UFA increased with age. The adolescent boys were observed to be well below the 50th percentiles of the reference population in BMI, TUA, UMA, UFA and AFI. Age and sex-specific smooth percentile curves were derived for height, weight, TSF, BMI, UMA and UFA using the L, M and S modelling approach for further evaluation of body composition.Conclusion: The present study recommends the assessment of body composition and nutritional status to improve screening of nutritional status using upper arm composition, especially in community settings so as to accurately identify the risk of lower or greater adiposity and muscularity, and thereby proposing a major opportunity to improve health through proper intervention programmes.J Nepal Paediatr Soc 2015;35(2):152-161
