Nowadays it is a major public health concern for the children specially aged under five. The main objective of this study is to determine the knowledge, attitude and practice level of the parents regarding childhood pneumonia. Aim of the study were to improve knowledge, attitude and practices on childhood pneumonia among parents which will be helpful in prevention of associating risk factors and our ability to improve early detection of the disease.\u0000Methods: A cross sectional study has been conducted with 300 parents from the admitted cases in selected hospitals of Chattogram City, Bangladesh. Interviewer administered structured questionnaire was used for data collection using non probability sampling technique. The questionnaire was divided into three sections as socio-demographic profile, level of knowledge, and level of attitude and practices. \u0000Results: The study found that 83% of parents have knowledge about childhood pneumonia and most of them think that bacteria and viruses are the main causes of pneumonia. Parents mostly appear to private doctors and government hospitals when their children get sick.\u0000Conclusions: The analysis shows that the literacy rate of the parents have been found similar with the findings of other research which is associated with the knowledge level of the parents. Therefore it is recommended to organize health education programs at household or community level or mass education campaigns to disseminate knowledge about childhood pneumonia.","PeriodicalId":14297,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Scientific Reports","volume":"96 3 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91110362","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The oral and dental care program, part of the Dubai health strategy 2016-2021, aimed to enhance oral and dental care by ensuring widespread access to high-quality treatments and effective prevention programs. To gain a comprehensive understanding, an initial assessment of the current state of oral and dental care was conducted with the assistance of an external consultant. This assessment encompassed a review of existing clinical guidelines, frameworks, and awareness initiatives, as well as an evaluation of the patient journey and accessibility. While noteworthy innovative measures were already in place, certain gaps were identified, and recommendations were proposed to address them. Subsequently, specific initiatives and programs were implemented in alignment with these recommendations to bridge the identified gaps. A notable achievement was the development of the Dubai dental protocol, which governs a patient-centered model of care and emphasizes a life-course approach to dental health promotion, addressing the diverse stages of life from pre-pregnancy to geriatric care.

We report a case of a 22-year-old male presented with complaints of on-off constipation since 4 years, perineal heaviness since 2 years. Based on digital rectal exam, trans-rectal ultrasound, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging findings, a presumptive diagnosis of retrorectal cyst was made. Patient underwent excision of cystic lesion by posterior trans-coccygeal approach. Post operative histopathology confirmed diagnosis of the retrorectal epidermal inclusion cyst. On follow-up after one month, symptoms of constipation and perineal heaviness completely resolved. Posterior resection allows proximal extension for elimination of the infection and in cases of adherence of the cyst to surrounding structures or in malignancy, which require en bloc resection. Posterior approach for resection is preferred for patients with posterior retrorectal cyst or presacral cyst because it provides adequate exposure with minimum dissection.","PeriodicalId":14297,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Scientific Reports","volume":"252 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86894125","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The preventive methodology of Evolved-homeopathy for Flu (which was developed about two decades before COVID-19 virus was born), and Allopathic vaccinations for COVID utilize the first fundamental-principle of cure (“Prevention is better than cure”).
