In the research, data were collected using descriptive data record form and the CSES. The collected data were analyzed using the following statistical methods: \"Explanatory Factor Analysis (EFA),\" \"Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA),\" \"Cronbach's Alpha.\"Results: This study involved family physicians (mean age: 38.5 ± 10.1, 59.2% women), with 72.2% married and 59.6% having children. Work settings varied, with 39.2% in family health centers, 38.0% in university hospitals, and 16.5% in state hospitals. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were conducted on the CSES, revealing a three-factor model with strong validity (Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) =0.956). The model exhibited good fit indices (χ² =61.432, df = 132, P = 1.000; root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA) =0.000; goodness of fit (GFI) =0.998; comparative fit index (CFI) =1.00; incremental fit index (IFI) =1.003; relative fit index (RFI) =0.997; normed fit index (NFI) =0.997). Reliability was high (Cronbach's α =0.978), indicating robust internal consistency across factors. This instrument appears reliable and valid for assessing family physicians' self-efficacy.Conclusions: Findings affirm the reliability and validity of the CSES instrument in assessing self-efficacy among family physicians, providing a valuable tool for understanding and enhancing their professional capabilities in diverse healthcare settings.","PeriodicalId":15856,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Family Medicine and Primary Care","volume":"14 7","pages":"2746-2751"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12349793/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144855341","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite treatment, patients may continue to experience neurological impairments such as cognitive dysfunction. P300 is an event-related potential (ERP) which is often considered as a marker for cognition. In this study, P300 was recorded in hypothyroid children.Materials and methods: This study involved 52 children between the ages of 8 and 15 years who were newly diagnosed with hypothyroidism. Auditory P300 latencies and amplitudes were recorded in the study population at the time of diagnosis, 1-month and 6-months follow-up. A P value of < 0.05 was assigned for statistical significance, and Kruskal-Wallis test was used to assess the same.Results: Although the amplitudes and latencies of P300 appeared to increase and decrease respectively, during successive follow-ups compared to the values recorded at the time of diagnosis. However, these changes were not statistically significant (P > 0.05).Conclusion: This study did not show any significant changes in P300 latencies and amplitudes. A shorter follow-up timeframe and a smaller sample size are possible limitations of this study. There is a possibility that P300 may show considerable changes over a longer course of disease management.","PeriodicalId":15856,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Family Medicine and Primary Care","volume":"14 7","pages":"2892-2896"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12349784/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144855409","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hence, this case-control study compared different anthropometric measurements to assess child malnutrition.Methodology: Using WHO's MGRS Criteria 2006, cases and controls were selected and matching was done for age and sex. The calculated sample size was 154 (77 cases and 77 controls), assuming a two-sided confidence level of 95%, power of the study 80% and a case-control ratio of 1:1, 10% nonresponse rate and lack of exclusive breastfeeding taken as an exposure factor. The Z-scores (WFH, HFA, WFA) were calculated using WHO Anthro software. The sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy were calculated for each anthropometric measure. Multiple linear regressions for comparison of MUAC against WFA and HFA Z-scores were performed. The Composite Index of Anthropometric Failure (CIAF) was also calculated.Results: Even among controls, 26% were severely stunted and 14.2% were severely underweight. The sensitivity MUAC to diagnose severely underweight and severely stunted children was 84.2% and 58.5%, respectively. Multiple Linear regression found positive association of WAZ and MUAC. Out of 154 children, 114 (74%) had anthropometric failure.Conclusions: The combined anthropometric measurements approach to screen chronic malnutrition in the community is strongly recommended. There is a need to develop software in the local language that is simple and feasible to use by grass route workers for early diagnosis of SAM children.","PeriodicalId":15856,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Family Medicine and Primary Care","volume":"14 7","pages":"2821-2825"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12349808/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144855474","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Symptoms of UTI in children is vague & non-specific and mostly underdiagnosed Standard urine culture (SUC) is the gold standard for detecting uropathogens but the clinical correlation and its implication in initiating antimicrobial therapy continue to be a question for decision-making. Enhanced quantitative urine culture (EQUC) was developed to overcome these limitations. However, its utility to diagnose paediatric UTI has not been well explored, necessitating the need for new diagnostic methods. The study was conducted to evaluate the utility of EQUC for isolation of bacterial uropathogens in children.Method: A prospective observation study was conducted and urine samples were collected and processed using both SUC and EQUC techniques. Microbial identification was performed using phenotypic characteristics and biochemical tests. VITEK 2 SYSTEM was used for identification and antimicrobial susceptibility testing whenever required.Results: A total of 156 samples were collected from 84 patients and subjected to SUC and EQUC techniques. SUC identified 50 positive samples (32.05%), while EQUC identified 87 positive samples (55.7%). EQUC recovered 25% more organisms compared to SUC. Escherichia coli was the most common organism isolated in both the techniques. Management of patients considering EQUC results showed better recovery in all age groups especially for midstream urine.Conclusion: The EQUC technique demonstrated higher recovery rates of uro-pathogens compared to the SUC, making it a valuable tool for diagnosing paediatric UTIs.","PeriodicalId":15856,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Family Medicine and Primary Care","volume":"14 7","pages":"2837-2841"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12349858/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144855482","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
