Adolescence is a transition phase ranging from 10 to 19 years. Most of these problems are manifested at this stage of life. Adolescents are more vulnerable to mental health problems as they face biological, physical, social and cultural transition simultaneously.\u0000Objective: The study objective of this study is to assess mental health status among secondary level school adolescents.\u0000Methods: This study is a cross-sectional study conducted among 317 secondary level school students of Gorkha, Nepal. Structured self-administered questionnaire and General Health Questionnaire-28 (GHQ-28) were used. Data was entered in Epidata and analyzed in SPSS 11.5\u0000Results: In this study, 24.9% of the respondents were found to have mental health problems. The mean age of respondent was 16.47 ± 1.32 years. In the study female respondents and adolescents from community school were more likely to develop mental health problems.\u0000Conclusions: Mental Health problem among secondary level school going adolescents was in alarming situation. Thus, to improve this problem among adolescents a comprehensive effort needs to be initiated.","PeriodicalId":384518,"journal":{"name":"Nepal Journal of Health Sciences","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128390423","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}

It occurs when dentinal tubules are patent both at the pulpal and the oral surface. It is widely accepted that DH affects function and quality of life. Thus, it is necessary for dentists to manage it properly.\u0000Objective: The objective of this study was to assess the efficacy of VivaSens and Propolis in comparison to Gluma in reducing cervical dentin hypersensitivity.\u0000Methods: A randomized clinical trial, double-blinded, parallel-group study was conducted among forty-five patients. They were randomly allocated into three different groups (n=15): Gluma (positive control), VivaSens, and Propolis. Tactile and evaporative methods were used to assess pain using the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) in patients with cervical abrasion, with a complaint of dentin hypersensitivity. Pain score was recorded preoperatively, immediately after application, at one week and one month postoperatively. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 11.5 and Microsoft Excel version 2010. Mean NPRS scores were calculated.\u0000Results: All three desensitizing agents significantly reduced DH scores from baseline to all subsequent follow-ups (p<0.001). Kruskal–Wallis test elicited no significant differences in the mean difference in DH scores among positive control and test groups for both stimuli at all-time intervals (p < 0.05).\u0000Conclusions: Gluma, VivaSens, and Propolis desensitizing agents were effective in relieving cervical DH. No statistically significant difference was found in relieving DH among the agents in all subsequent follow-ups.","PeriodicalId":384518,"journal":{"name":"Nepal Journal of Health Sciences","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127432446","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 primary treatment is always considered conservative management in such instances. However, an epidural blood patch remains an invasive gold standard treatment.

All the parturients are categorized into Group A, those who are treated with sphenopalatine ganglion block, and Group B, where post-dural puncture headache was treated with conservative management. Independent t-tests and Fischer’s test were used for statistical analysis.\u0000Results: The patients in group A showed positive outcomes where all of them were relieved of post-dural puncture headache within 10 mins after Sphenopalatine ganglion block (p<0.001) and the mean pain score, based on a numerical pain rating scale was less or equal to 4 for the first 8 hours.\u0000Conclusions: Sphenopalatine ganglion block (SPGB) could be used as an effective first-line treatment modality in the management of post-dural puncture headache compared to conservative management.","PeriodicalId":384518,"journal":{"name":"Nepal Journal of Health Sciences","volume":"72 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130157380","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 increased awareness among the physicians and the suspiciousness of the myriad of its clinical presentation with increased availability of investigation modules and therapeutic options has led to a decrement of mortality and morbidity. The study intends to assess the clinical etiological profile of patients of CVT and also to assess short-term outcomes and if any factors are associated with it.\u0000Methods: It was a hospital-based retrospective, observational cross-sectional study at a tertiary care center in Kathmandu among adult CVT patients from August 2019 to August 2021. Clinical, etiological, and radiological data, the outcome at discharge, and any factors influencing this were assessed where possible. Data were analyzed using SPSS 25 software. Analysis of the descriptive data was performed and independent factors influencing short-term outcome (admission date < 7 days) were analyzed.\u0000Results: There were a total of 15 cases included in the study. The study showed female predominance (66.7%. The mean age of the patients was 48.87 years. Four (26.7%) patients had hypertension.

A significant association was present with direct signs in CT scan (p=0.02), and low erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), p= (0.02).\u0000Conclusions: OCP and hypertension are increasingly recognized as independent risk factors for CVT. The presence of direct signs in the CT head and the presence of high ESR have independent predictive value in assessing short-term outcomes.","PeriodicalId":384518,"journal":{"name":"Nepal Journal of Health Sciences","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131998751","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}
