Menstruation is the process of periodic discharge from the female genital tract due to hormonal influence and takes place within the interval of 28 days. The objective of the study was to find out knowledge, attitude and practice regarding menstrual hygiene among adolescent girls of the Government school.\u0000Methods: A descriptive study was carried out among 100 adolescent girls attending selected schools of Birgunj, Nepal using pretested self-administered questionnaires. Proportional Stratified Sampling was used. During data collection privacy and confidentiality was ensured. The data were analyzed using SPSS version 16 through descriptive statistical methods and inferential statistical methods.\u0000Results: This study revealed that majority of the girls (32%) have good knowledge, 93% have good attitude and 23% girls have good practice. There was significant association (p < 0.05) between the level of practice and age of menarche but there was no any significant association (p < 0.05) between level of knowledge and attitude with selected variables regarding menstrual hygiene.\u0000Conclusions: This study concludes that though the majority of the girls have, good attitude, many have poor knowledge and practice about menstrual hygiene.","PeriodicalId":39140,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nepal Paediatric Society","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43859375","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}

Mean platelet volume (MPV) is a measure of average platelet volume which represents inflammatory burden of disease. In our study MPV rises in septic neonates significantly and can be helpful to diagnose sepsis early with other blood counts.\u0000 Methods: This case-control study was done on 500 newborns, out of which 452 included in study are classified into two groups that is group A (n = 226): apparently healthy neonates, group B (n = 226): diagnosed with neonatal sepsis by septic screening positive. All patients in the study were go through adequate valuation of their history, clinical examination, complete blood count including MPV, C-reactive protein (CRP) and blood culture.\u0000Results: Septic neonates showed statistically higher values of MPV than the control group. The diagnostic cut-off value of MPV NS was 10.2 fl.\u0000Conclusions: MPV which is a platelet index obtained from complete blood count can be used an additional marker along with established septic screen to ensure early diagnosis in neonatal sepsis.","PeriodicalId":39140,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nepal Paediatric Society","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45996014","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}

Prevalence of childhood asthma has grown dramatically in developed as well as developing countries. The objective of the study was to find out the factors associated with childhood asthma among children attending Kanti Children’s Hospital, Kathmandu, Nepal.\u0000Methods: Descriptive, cross-sectional study design was adopted and 152 parents were selected by using non probability purposive sampling technique. Data was collected using pre tested structured with an interview schedule after permission from concerned authorities. The data was analyzed by using descriptive and inferential statistic with SPSS IBM 16.\u0000Results: The finding of the study revealed that various factors were associated with childhood asthma.

Lung sonography has been lately explored as an alternative modality to decrease radiation hazards. This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic ability of lung ultrasonography in detecting paediatric pneumonia at presentation and follow up and comparing findings with chest CT scan.\u0000Methods: A cross-sectional observational study was performed at a paediatric hospital from August 2019 to April 2021. We studied 106 children (ages from 45 days to 14 years) referred by the paediatrician with clinical data of pneumonia. All children underwent CT chest examination; 90 showed positive, while 16 showed no pneumonia. Ultrasonography was performed on all patients within 24 hours after CT examination.\u0000Results: We found that lung ultrasound showed 100% specificity, 82.2%, sensitivity in the diagnosis of paediatric pneumonia, accuracy was 84.9%, positive predictive value was 100% and negative predictive value was 50%. Their sensitivity and specificity are 100% in complicated pneumonia by parapneumonic effusion, empyema, and abscess formation.\u0000Conclusions: Chest ultrasound is a simple technique that can be performed in everyday practice, with high specificity and sensitivity compared to a chest CT scan in diagnosis and follow up of pneumonia in the pediatric age group.","PeriodicalId":39140,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nepal Paediatric Society","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47545146","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}
