INTRODUCTION: Health insurance is a type of insurance coverage that pays for medical, surgical and sometimes dental expenses incurred by the insured. It reimburses the insured for expenses incurred from illness or injury or pays the case provider directly. The objective of this study is to determine awareness and perception about health insurance among people of Janakpurdham. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A cross sectional study, using simple random sampling among 400 participants was done at Janakpurdham. A semi structured questionnaire was used. Data was tabulated, categorized and was analyzed using statistical methods JASP version. Chi-square test was used to find out the association between the dependent and independent variables. RESULTS: In this research awareness about health insurance among respondents slightly more than one third 137(34.25%) were heard about health insurance and 293(73.25%) heard about health insurance scheme. Maximum number of respondents received information from friends 154(38.5%) followed by public media 127(31.7%) and few from newspaper 96(24.0%), and few from employment were 23 (5.8%). Higher Socio-economic status of the respondents were found to be significantly associated with more awareness on health insurance. CONCLUSIONS: Awareness about health insurance was satisfactory, but it did not lead to increased enrolment. There is a need to reinforce information, education and communication campaign about health insurance among the general population.

INTRODUCTION: Organophosphorus is one of the most common causes of poisoning worldwide. Organophosphorus (OP) poisoning is a major public health problem in Nepal. This study was conducted to observe the epidemiological pattern and mortality in patients with OP poisoning admitted to provincial hospital Janakpurdham, Nepal. MATERIALS AND METHODS: It was a retrospective study. All the consecutive poisoning cases due to op compound admitted through emergency either in the ward or ICU of the provincial hospital from 15 May 2020 to 15 November 2020 included in the study. RESULTS: A total of 160 cases of poisoning were admitted through emergency either in the medical ward or ICU of the provincial hospital. Out Of these 81 (51.63 %) was OP poisoning. Among 81 cases 51.85 % were male.70.37 % of cases were from the young adult group i.e., 15 to 30 years. 38.37 % were housewives. Among all included cases 43.20 % had consumed Methyl parathion (Metacid) followed by Phorate 24.69 %. 55 % of total cases were from Dhanusha district followed by Mahottari and Sarlahi. The mortality rate was 14.81 % of total admitted cases, with an average of 5.7 days of hospital stay in the recovered case. CONCLUSIONS: OP poisoning is a major public health problem in province 2. It affects mostly the young age population. Housewives are at more risk of poisoning. The mortality in patients with OP poisoning is high even if antidotes are available. Considering the common occurrence and full curability of the condition early arrival to the hospital, timely monitoring, and prompt management may help to reduce mortality. With strict laws on the provision of pesticide availability, the poisoning incidence can be decreased and by proper development of infrastructure and ICU facility mortality can be decreased.

INTRODUCTION: Default is one of the unfavourable outcomes for patients on DOTS and represents an important challenge for the control program. Therefore, this study was designed to assess default in tuberculosis (TB) treatment among women registered in DOTS center at Taplejung District of Nepal. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted at Taplejung district of Nepal in thethe year 2016. Records of TB patients from all DOTS centre for one year were obtained and treatment default cases for women were identified. Face to face interview was conducted by using semi-structured questionnaire to collect data from the patients. The data were entered and analyzed in MS Excel software. RESULTS: Out of total 30 female TB patients, 72.0% of respondents belonged to the age group of 15-49 years where as 73.3% of the respondents were Kirat and from Dalit caste ethnicity. Less than half of the respondents (48.0%) thought, feeling better after medication, was the reason for default TB. A second major cause for default in tuberculosis treatment was distance to reach DOTS center (12.0%) and lack of food at home (10.0%). Likewise, few respondents said lack of family support (6.7%), thinking about side effects (6.7%), medicine not working (3.3%) and stigma (6.7%) were the reasons for the default in tuberculosis treatment. CONCLUSIONS: Majority of the respondents left treatment because they felt better after medication. A second major reason for default in TB treatment was distance to reach DOTS center. The findings may be helpful in planning modifications in DOTS program of Nepal.

INTRODUCTION: COVID-19 is an infectious disease caused by the SARSCoV-2 virus, which has resulted in a worldwide media attention and public alarm. COVID-19 has a wide variety of clinical features, ranging from asymptomatic infection to mild to severe pneumonia. Different laboratory parameters get altered in COVID-19 patients. Therefore, biochemical investigations are important to assess the progression of the disease and categorize patients that may present a severe and/or fatal clinical condition. CASE PRESENTATION: The present case shows a 56-year-old male, without any significant medical history or comorbidities, suddenly developed fever and shortness of breath returning home attending a marriage ceremony at his village. He had the history of traveling but unaware about COVID-19 prone areas or with a direct contact of COVID-19 positive patients. The patient was primarily treated with medicines at home on telephonic consultation by physician but, didn’t recover. During hospitalisation, his chest X-ray revealed ground-glass opacity in the right middle and lower zone of the lung. He was tested RT-PCR positive after X-ray. CONCLUSIONS: This case study concludes with lower levels of WBCs, Hb, lymphocytes, and eosinophils. The liver function tests were altered as well as renal impairment was common. The patient was encouraged to maintain home quarantine for at least 14 days after treatment. COVID-19 patient’s prognosis may be improved by monitoring haematological and biochemical changes.

INTRODUCTION: Distribution and susceptibility of UTI-causing pathogen varies according to place and time. Area specific monitoring studies, aimed to gain knowledge about the type of uropathogens and their susceptibility pattern, help clinicians choose the correct empirical treatment and reduce antibiotic resistance as well as treatment time and financial burden. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A hospital based cross-sectional study was carried out in provincial hospital, Madhesh province, Janakpurdham, Nepal from May 2021 to September 2021. Urine samples from 450 clinically suspected cases of UTI were collected and tested bacteriologically following standard procedure. Antibiotic susceptibility test was performed by the disk diffusion according to Clinical Laboratory Standard Institute (CLSI) guidelines. RESULTS: Of 450 urine samples,110(24.4%) showed significant bacterial growth. E. coli 57(51.82%) was the most common isolated followed by Pseudomonas aeruginosa18(16.36%). Most of the isolates were sensitive to Amikacin (AK), Amoxycillin Clavulanic Acid(AMC), Nitrofurantoin (NIT) whereas most of the gram positive and gram-negative isolates were resistant to Cefixime (CFM), Ampicillin (AMP), Cotrimoxazole (COT). CONCLUSIONS: This study showed that E. coli isolates were the predominant uropathogens and AMC is the most effective antibiotic. Most isolates were resistant to Cefixime (CFM), Ampicillin (AMP) and Cotrimoxazole (COT). The presence of highly resistive bacterial isolates, to some of the commonly prescribed drugs, limits the antibiotic prescription options. Drug resistance pattern is an ever-evolving process then isolates become resistant to commonly used drugs. So, frequent surveillance studies are conducted to update clinicians on effectiveness of empirical treatment for UTI.

INTRODUCTION: To document the potential relationship between Helicobacter pylori infection (H. pylori), ABO and Rhesus (Rh) blood groups in affected individuals with peptic ulcer disorder. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This cross-sectional, research was accomplished from February 2021 to May 2021 among individuals experiencing dyspeptic conditions visiting Endoscopy Unit of Janakpur Provincial Hospital. All the patients were investigated for their blood group phenotype and Rhesus dependent through slide hemagglutination test. Also all the patients went through esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) in order to identify peptic ulcer disease. Gastric biopsies were acquired and evaluated for H. pylori through urease test. RESULTS: A total of 103 patients were registered in this study, which included 49 males and 54 females with a mean age of 15-77 years. H. pylori was found positive in 75(72.8%) cases and negative in 28 (27.2%) cases, Blood group A, B, AB and O were found in 19.4%, 33.0%, 13.6%, and 34.0% of the patients respectively. Relatively higher prevalence of H. pylori was found in each blood groups O (33.3%) and B (33.3%) compared to blood group A (20.1%) and AB (13.3%). However, association of ABO blood group and prevalence of H. pylori was found to be insignificant (p=0.991). CONCLUSIONS: The study concluded that B blood group people were more prone to H. pylori infection. Our study revealed that H. pylori contamination was definitely an endemic issue, which needs to be handled by enhancing hygiene, supply of filtered water and in addition other measures for its elimination. Further meticulous studies are needed to establish relationship between blood type and H. pylori contamination in different age groups.
