Restless Legs Syndrome- is a disorder in which you have an uncontrollable impulse to move your legs, usually in response to an unpleasant sensation. It usually happens when you're seated or lying down in the evening or at night. Moving around temporarily alleviates the uncomfortable sensation. Restless legs syndrome, also known as Willis-Ekbom sickness, can strike at any age and worsens with time. It can interfere with daily tasks by disrupting sleep. Simple self-care and lifestyle adjustments may be beneficial in alleviating symptoms. Medications also help many people with RLS1.

Churg Strauss syndrome (CSS) also known as Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) is a rare condition characterized by asthma, high levels of eosinophils (a type of white blood cell that helps fight infection), and inflammation of small to medium sized blood vessels (vasculitis).1 The inflamed vessels can affect various organ systems including the lungs, gastrointestinal tract, skin, heart and nervous system. No known cause of disease is found but believe to be an auto immune disorder and genetic factors and allergies play vital role to trigger the disease. CSS has 3 stages, with its own clinical manifestations. It’s not necessary that all patients with CSS will go through all 3 stages and they also do not manifest in same order always. The first stage is an allergic stage presents with respiratory problems, second stage is eosinophilic stage characterized by intra organ infiltration of eosinophils and final stage is a vasculitic stage with swollen lypmph nodes, joint pain, necrotizing inflammation of small vessels. Morbidity rate is high and it also need long term monitoring.

Diabetes Mellitus is a chronic, life-threatening metabolic condition of a cumulative, increasingly destructive nature, manifested in multisystem failures, inflicting suffering, stress, decreased quality of life and eventually disability and death. The existing evidence suggests that the conditions’ prevalence will increase by 50-100% in the next 20 years, making it a modern day epidemic, taking its toll on individuals, their families, support systems and of course a huge burden on health systems, employment organizations and other systems. Research Methodology: In a view of the nature of the problem under study and to accomplish the objective of the study effectiveness approach was found to be appropriate to describe the effectiveness of Self-instructional Module on prevention of complications of diabetes mellitus. Results: The findings related to level of knowledge of the diabetic patients regarding the prevention of complications of diabetes mellitus revealed that 23% of the subjects had poor knowledge and only 77% of the subjects had Average knowledge. No one had good knowledge on prevention of complications of DM. Conclusion: On the basis of findings of the study the following conclusions were drawn: Percentage distribution of diabetic patients according to their pre-test level of knowledge showed they had poor knowledge on prevention of complications of diabetes mellitus. Analysis of knowledge score revealed an increase of 24.33 in the total mean score and 28.37% increase in mean percentage after administration of self-instructional module.

Background: Corona viruses are large group of viruses that causes illness in human and animals. The outbreak of novel corona virus (COVID -19) was initially noticed in a seafood market in Wuhan city in Hubei province of China in mid-December, 2019. Novel Corona virus spreading globally at very fast rate each and every individual is at risk. No treatments clinically proven to be effective yet. A global coordinated effort is needed to stop the further spread of the virus so assess the knowledge and practice regarding prevention of COVID infection among parents of under 10 years children. Method: A descriptive research design was employed among parents of children of under 10 years who are attending the selected OPDs and immunization clinic of AIIMS Raipur. The size of the sample was 263. Non probability purposive sampling technique is used. The data collection tools are socio demographic proforma, knowledge questionnaire and checklist which is validated by experts. The data is collected through online mode via goggle form. Data analysis is done by descriptive and inferential statistics. Information regarding the clinical signs of the disease, modes of transmission, protection measures against COVID-19 and satisfaction with governmental measures was collected. Results: The analysis of data regarding the objective of the research findings reveals that out of 263 parents, 213(80.98%) were have adequate knowledge, 33(12.54%) have moderately adequate knowledge and 16(6.08%) have inadequate knowledge and out of 263 parents, 193(50.57%) parents are following good practice measures, (41.82%) are following moderately good practice and 20(7.60%) are following poor practice measures regarding prevention of COVID infection. There is significant association between knowledge and practice with selected demographic variables. Conclusions: In summary, we believe that the findings reported here are important for understanding the clinical characteristics and vertical transmission potential of COVID‐19 infection in children, from the perspective of parents. The knowledge of parents about COVID‐19 in children was considered good in the case of most parents. This knowledge and practice helps with creating educational programs to increase awareness for areas that have weakness.

Nursing is a practical and skill oriented discipline. It needs lots of practice. Nurses are always being with patients to treat their ailments. Nurses training is must to learn the procedure on the patients. Sometime because of patient conditions and situation it is not possible to learn properly. Simulator is the one which allow the healthcare personnel to practice procedure on them and allow end number of mistakes. The nurses or student nurses learn the procedure by their own mistake. Simulation gives a lot of opportunity to learn, practice, and develop a skills and decision making capacity. It is necessary to adopt a simulation in nursing curriculum for better outcome of nurses and productivity in the health care sector.

Children's development is an important as the development of material resources and the best way to develop National human resources is to take care of children. The general standard of living, the level of education, and the financial resources of the country are among the factors that determine child welfare standards. India contributes to about 5-6 million child death every year, more than half of the world’s total. Today child malnutrition is prevalent in 7% among the children under the age of five years in China and 28% in sub- Saharan African compared to a prevalence of 43% in India. Undernutrition found mostly in rural area and is concentrated in a relatively small number of districts and villages with 10% of village and districts according for 27-28% of all underweight children. Methods: The research design used in the study was prr-exprimental one group pretest and posttest design. Non probability purposive sampling was used to draw sample. The data was collected from 60 samples by using structured questionnaire. After seven days of Structured Teaching Programme posttest was administered by using same structured questionnaire to find out the effectiveness of the STP on selected child health programmes. Result: The result showed that the mothers of under five children had 68.3% had adequate knowledge 31.7% had adequate knowledge and none of the mother had inadequate knowledge in the posttest after the STP administration. Enhancement was computed by using paired’t 'test at 0.05 level of significance and it was found to be 31.65, indicating that there is a significant improvement in the knowledge of mothers of under five children. Conclusion: The study findings suggested that the Structured Teaching Programme is an effective instructional method in improving the knowledge of the mothers of under five children regarding selected child welfare programmes in India.

Health is not something that one possesses as a commodity, but connotes rather a way of functioning within one’s environment (work, recreation, and living). Occupational environment plays a major role on the health of the exposed. The health hazards get more severe when the duration of exposure increases. Millions of traffic police spend majority of the working day standing and many hours in static positions. Standing uses 20% more energy than sitting because the human body is not designed to stand continuously at work. An descriptive study was conducted among 50 traffic police of selected traffic police station of Hubballi-Dharwad. Non-probability; Convenient sampling technique was used to select the sample and data was collected by structured knowledge questionnaire. The research design used for the study was descriptive. Data analysis was done by using descriptive and inferential statistics. Overall result of the study revealed that 02(4%) subjects had good knowledge, 39(78%) subjects had average knowledge and 09(18%) subjects had poor knowledge on varicose veins and its management. The study concluded that traffic police had average knowledge regarding prevention and management of varicose veins.

Background: Preterm labour is defined as labour that starts before the baby has been pregnant for 37 weeks. Approximately 9% of all pregnancies have it. If a woman experiences uterine contractions that result in cervical effacement and dilatation, she is thought to be in premature labour. Any woman who exhibits a pattern of labour lasting more than an hour, with contractions lasting 30 seconds and happening as regularly as every 10 minutes apart, should be diagnosed as being in labour. Because a premature baby is born as a result of preterm labour, it is serious. Premature mothers may experience more painless contractions, backaches, and excessive vaginal discharge than other pregnant women. Preterm delivery is responsible for 75% of all perinatal fatalities and up to 50% of infant neurological impairments. Preterm birth rates vary among different demographics, with the socioeconomically privileged population experiencing the lowest rates and the medically underprivileged population seeing the highest rates. Finding the women who are at risk for preterm labour is the first step in managing this issue. Method: 40 volunteers total were chosen for this experimental investigation using a non-probability handy sampling strategy. Design experimentation was done. Data was gathered using a structured interviewing method. Information collected for the two portions, including socio-demographic data, a knowledge quiz, and a practice checklist. The split half technique formula was used to determine the tool's dependability. Knowledge yielded a reliability result of r=0.904. prenatal care instruction manual that you prepared yourself. Result: Pre-test knowledge for the expectant women was only average for 16(40%) and low for 24 (60%) of the mothers. When post test results were compared to pre test scores, it was clear that prenatal moms' knowledge had improved, as 12 of them (30%) had good knowledge and the remaining 28(70%) had average knowledge. The mean knowledge score increased from 16.2+2.85 to 22.45+2.13 in the post test from the pre test. Conclusion: The study demonstrated that the self-educational programme for primi para moms on the causes of preterm labor and how to prevent it was a rational, rational, and cost-effective technique.

Alcohol consumption among women is becoming a major problem in India and worldwide. The drinking pattern in India has changed from occasional and ritualistic use to socialuse. Even the pattern of drinking among women has changed. They consume alcohol to get drunk. Report shows that alcohol use and misuse among women are increasing and it is also reported that women who drink have a higher risk of certain alcohol-related problems compared to men. Studies show that women tend to have alcohol-related problems sooner and at lower drinking levels making them more susceptible to alcohol-related health issues compared to men. Research suggests that alcohol misuse causes brain damage which is morequick in women compared to men. Thisarticle review focuses on the burden of alcohol consumption among women in context with its various harmful effects on the body and mind.

Coronary microvascular disease is a disease of the small blood vessels in the circulation and damage to the lining of the walls of the heart lead to narrowing and decrease blood flow to the heart muscles. Most common cause is long term diabetes mellitus. A majority of people around 60%-75% with coronary microvascular disease are affected among women. I am presenting a case study report of a 40 years old female, admitted in the hospital at IGMC, Shimla, Himachal Pradesh with the complaint of pain, pulselessness in right arm, cold extremities and blackening of fingers and gradually started numbness in left fingers also since 2 weeks. A detailed assessment and investigations concluded the diagnosis as Coronary Microvascular Disease. Other diagnosis can be performed like ECG, cardiac angiography, cardiac stress test, cardiac catheterization, coronary flow reserve(CFR). She was treated with blood thinners, statins, alpha and beta blockers.
