It is therefore important that oral health is taken as a serious public health issue as knowledge of what constitutes good oral care is pertinent to ensuring that the populace maintain good oral health habits. This study assessed the knowledge, attitude and practice of oral health among secondary students: an urban rural comparison. Methodology: This is a comparative cross sectional analytical study among senior secondary school students in Gwagwalada Area Council, Abuja. Data was collected from 307 respondents using a semi structured self-administered questionnaire. A cluster sampling technique was used to select the schools. Data was analysed using SPSS software version 21 at 5% significance level. We used chi square test to assess associations between variables and t-test to compare two means. Other associations were ascertained using cross tabulation of the relevant variables of interest. Results: A statistically significant difference was found between urban (67.2%) and rural (51.3%) students in knowledge (X=4.103, p= 0.04). Assessment of attitude using Likert scale showed generally no significant difference between urban and rural population of students (p=0.69). However about 60.7% and 66.3% of urban vs. rural students respectively reported that they would rather use herbal medications without regular visits to the dentist. Good practice of oral health was found to significantly differ between urban (59.9%) and rural (51.9%) school students (p = 0.03). As high as 50.3% and 46.8% of urban and rural students respectively brushed just once or less than once a day. Overall, female students brush more frequently than male student and this was a statistically significant difference, (p =0.001). Conclusion: Secondary school students in this setting generally had good knowledge, attitude and practise of oral health, however these findings were better among students in the urban schools and female students. We recommend improved health promotion and education efforts targeted at students in rural secondary schools and male students.","PeriodicalId":518345,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Recent Innovations in Medicine and Clinical Research","volume":"82 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140527970","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}

Alderete’s scoring tool was introduced in May 2018 at Kenyatta National Hospital to determine the suitability of patients for discharge to the post-surgical wards. Introduction of the monitoring tool was necessary due to the fact that patients were deteriorating after anesthesia after developing complications. There was also no standard monitoring tool that had been adopted. Alderete’s scoring system includes assessing a patient’s responsiveness, activity, respiration, blood pressure and oxygen saturation level. Since the introduction of the monitoring tool, no study has been done to assess its utilization in monitoring patients. Methods: A descriptive cross sectional study was conducted among nurses working in post anesthesia care unit of Kenyatta National Hospital. A total of 73 nurses were sampled for the study. Data was collected using interviewer-administered questionnaires and analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 20. Results: The nurses comprised of 56% females and 45% males. The mean age of the participants was 38 years. There was no significant relationship between the use of Alderete’s score chart and level of training at confidence interval of p=0.210. However 85.7% of BScN trained were able to use the chart followed by 82.4% of KRPON trained nurses. This implied that those with higher training understood the importance of using the Alderete’s chart more than the lower level of training. There was significant statistical evidence at p=0.028 that the use of Alderete’s score chart depended on training of staffs and those who were trained were 1.488 times more likely to use the tool than those who were not trained. Conclusion: Alderete’s score chart was being used by nurses to monitor patients even though most of the nurses had not been trained on its utilization and therefore did not understand the components of the chart. Staff shortage and lack of supplies also hindered utilization of the monitoring tool.","PeriodicalId":518345,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Recent Innovations in Medicine and Clinical Research","volume":"77 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140527972","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}

Prognosis for chronic neck pain is generally poor, and the associated disability seems to be more persistent than low back pain. 66% of the population will suffer from neck pain at some point during their lifetime. More than one-third of people affected still have low grade symptoms or recurrences more than one year after treatment, often leading to chronic pain. More than one-third of those affected also show signs of mild pain or recurrence after 12 months of management, usually contributing to chronic pain. Different manual therapy methods and strategies exist; a common aspect is the use of hands during therapy which involves both manipulation and mobilization.

It has been endorsed by the World health organization (WHO) as a cheap and reliable method of reducing neonatal mortality. It is widely practiced and has gained popularity in Kenya. Objective: Explore experiences of parents on Kangaroo mother care in the neonatal clinic at the Kenyatta National Hospital. Methods: A qualitative study involving Seventeen participants (n-17) recruited from parents who had practiced KMC. Sampling was purposive and those who met the eligibility criteria were recruited. Individual in-depth interviews were conducted using an interview guide. The interviews were audiotaped and transcribed verbatim. Common themes were identified iteratively. Results: Three major themes emerged from the analysis: Normalization of birth experience, need for commitment and enabling the practice. The participants reported that they were afraid and worried about their baby’s survival before initiation into KMC. However during KMC, they became more confident as they participated in provision of care to their infants. They also reported reduction of stress and anxiety and enhanced family relations which gave them deep satisfaction as they got to know their infant. Participants associated reduction of infections, provision of warmth and faster growth to improved infant survival with KMC. Most participants felt that KMC required a lot of commitment to realize its benefits and at times, the practice causes interruptions in daily lives. The participants had mixed feelings regarding KMC practice due to limited information and the physical effects of the practice. Majority reported that they received enough support from their families and health team. Conclusions: KMC allows the parents to participate in the care, provides psychological healing, its tiring and time consuming and require a lot of commitment for its benefits to be realized. Recommendations: KMC should be practiced in all hospitals, Awareness and information about causes of prematurity/LBW and the option of practicing KMC should be encouraged in high risk group. Institutional recommendations included, provision of entertainment to mothers, review of meal time, one baby per incubator and deploy a doctor throughout in Kangaroo ward.","PeriodicalId":518345,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Recent Innovations in Medicine and Clinical Research","volume":"139 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140527964","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}

They represent a serious complication in trauma surgery and limit the potential benefit of surgical interventions. Material and method: Our work is a prospective descriptive study carried out over a period of one year, going from January to December 2017, the samples of which were taken at the level of the traumatology-orthopedics department, then analyzed in the bacteriology laboratory, the Ibn Tofail hospital, CHU Mohamed VI of Marrakech. All patients who had undergone surgery and subsequently developed postoperative infection at least 72 hours after surgery were included in the study. Result: During the study period 55 postoperative infections were diagnosed in 78 operated subjects. The number of germs isolated is 112, 70% of which are BGN and 30% CGP. The distribution by bacterial family demonstrated the predominance of Enterobacteriaceae which represented 46% of isolates, followed by Staphylococci (26%), then nonfermenting BGNs (24%), and Streptococci (4%). The level of resistance of bacteria had shown that all A. baumannii strains were resistant to imipenem, 70% of Enterobacteriaceae showed high level resistance, then 50% of P. aeruginosa were resistant to ceftazidime, and the MRSA rate was 47%. Multidrug resistant bacteria are dominated by ABRI (34%), followed by ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae (EBLSE) (29%), MRSA (20%), Carbapenemasous Enterobacteriaceae (ECARBA) (10%) and PARC (7%). ECARBAs exhibit a high level of resistance to aminoglycosides. Both EBLSEs and ABRI were resistant to aminoglycosides and quinolones. For MRSA, only teicoplanin and vancomycin remain active on these bacteria. Finally, PARC showed strong resistance to all antibiotic families. All strains were sensitive to colistin.
