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

Abstract:
The increase in population is becoming a comprehensive dilemma, causing much pressure alternative medicine for anti-fertility action. Ayurveda and other Indian literature mention the use of plants in various human ailments. India has about more than 45000 plant species and among them several thousand are claimed to possess medicinal properties. Researchers conducted in the last few decades on the plants mentioned in ancient literature or used traditionally for anti-fertility action. This review reveals that some plants and their part used having anti-fertility action, which are helpful for researcher to develop new herbal anti-fertility formulations. In the recent years, interest in drugs of plant origin has been progressively increased. The Koch Rajbangshi people use various wild and cultivated plants as medicine for curing different diseases. They completely or partially depend upon these plants for curing various diseases. The plants are mostly used as first aid treatment in most of the diseases. In almost every village there is a medical man who generally knows the traditional uses of the plants. There are some ritual believes also associated with these medicinal plants or ethnomedicines. A good number of these plants are also included in their daily diet. Above all, the plants have also some market value, thus playing an important socio-economic role among the people of the various tribal people. With the use of modern day medical techniques the traditional health care system is now at the verge of extinction. In the present work, the Researcher tried to document the plants used for the medicinal purposes in the, District Cooch Behar or Koch Bihar of the North Bengal region. To create a database of traditional knowledge and use pattern of some plants with infertility potential by Koch or Rajbangshi people in the region all the plants with its uses are documented in this study.

Abstract:
This paper examines some major issues and challenges in developing and implementing mother-tongue education policy in minority speech communities in Nepal. It also suggests some strategies based on field studies for meeting those challenges. In minority speech communities, constituting more than 55% of total population and speaking around 70 languages, despite attempts made by governmental and non-governmental agencies, multilingual education has not yet become accessible it is mainly due to the lack of operational mechanism in education policy. Till today, thousands of children of non-Nepali speaking communities are compelled to be instructed in Nepali and use the textbooks written in Nepali. This has resulted in class repetition, high dropout and very low quality at primary levels. The case studies made in Western Tamang and Rajbansi have explored a number of challenges as well as some way-outs for effective implementation of mother-tongue education policy in such communities. First and foremost, the roles of mother tongue, Nepali and English have not yet been fully justified. In most of the minority speech communities, there is only sentimental attitude towards their mother tongue. Most of the MLE programmes have been commenced without conducting need assessment (Regmi, 2019). There is a lack of appropriate textbooks and reading materials incorporating local cultures and life crucial knowledge embodied in language. Due to the lack of trained and motivated teachers, programmes so far implemented are also facing the problem of quality maintenance. Thus, a promising and inclusive multilingual education policy should be developed and implemented for maintaining the sustainability of MLE programmes in minority speech communities in Nepal.

Abstract:
Abstract Menarche and menopause are two major components of a woman’s reproductive life. Ages at menarche and menopause vary widely between and within populations and are influenced by various factors, both genetic and environmental. The present community-based cross-sectional investigation aimed to assess the association between ages at menarche and natural menopause among women belonging to the indigenous Rajbanshi population of North Bengal, India. The investigation was carried out from January 2015 to May 2015 among 510 Rajbanshi women aged between 45 and 55 years residing in the district of Darjeeling, West Bengal, India. A structured schedule was used to collect data on ages at menarche and natural menopause, marital status, parity, education, age of first and last pregnancies, duration of breastfeeding, nature of occupation, health status, smoking and monthly family income. Anthropometric measurements of height and weight were recorded and Body Mass Index (BMI) calculated. The statistical analyses, which included descriptive statistics and binary logistic regression (BLR), were done using SPSS. The women’s mean age of menarche and median age of natural menopause were 12.52 years and 50 years, respectively. The BLR analysis indicated that education, age at first pregnancy had significant effects on the age at natural menopause among women who experienced menarche at <12 years of age (p<0.05). In the case of women who attained menarche at ≥12 years of age, marital status, age at last pregnancy, parity, education, duration of breastfeeding, smoking, occupation, monthly income and BMI had a greater influence on age at natural menopause. There appears to be an indirect association between age at menarche and age at natural menopause, along with different predictor variables, among the Rajbanshi women.

Abstract:
Introduction: Unsafe Abortion is one of the leading causes of maternal death. The unhygienic and dangerous practice has been encountered in various geographical areas of Nepal. Despite its legalization, many women are still being not concerned and well informed regarding safe abortion and become victims of it. The main aim of this study was to assess the knowledge and practice regarding safe abortion among married women of reproductive (14 to 49) years of an underprivileged group of low resource country, Nepal. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study design was done in Rajbanshi community of Jhapa District. Data collection was done after taking ethical approval. Study population was selected conveniently. Data was collected by using a semi-structured questionnaire via face to face interviews among 420 married women of reproductive (14-49) years. All the extracted data were entered and analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Services version 20. Descriptive analysis was doneand presented using frequency and percentage. Results: Out of 420 respondents, 388 respondents (92.4%) found to have poor knowledge, regarding safe abortion. Likewise, only 44 respondents (10.05%) had practiced abortion, of which only 2 respondents (0.05%) had an unsafe abortion and 42 respondents (10%) had practiced safe abortion. Conclusions: Practices of unsafe abortion were prevalent. Respondents with poor knowledge werefound to have done abortion. In this context, it can be concluded that knowledge regarding safe abortion can be increased by educating and providing awareness to the people of society.
