Myelomeningocele is a form of neural tube abnormality that causes the spinal cord and meninges to protrude through a hole in the spinal column. It is uncommon for myelomeningocele to be associated with cerebellar tonsillar herniation. This instance demonstrates the difficulties in detecting and controlling this comorbid illness. Myelomeningocele with cerebellar tonsillar herniation is a severe congenital disorder involving the protrusion of the spinal cord and meninges through a defect in the vertebral column, accompanied by downward displacement of the cerebellar tonsils. It is associated with significant neurological and physical impairments, requiring comprehensive medical management and rehabilitation. Early diagnosis, intervention, and on-going multidisciplinary care are crucial for individuals affected by this condition to maximize their potential and improve their overall well-being. We present a case of a female child who was admitted to the NICU for further evaluation and management of myelomeningocele. On examination, the child was active with vitals stable. On local examination, swelling is present at the Lumbosacral region of size 5*4 cm. All investigations and septic screens sent reports within normal limits. MRI was done s/o Spina bifid occulta with LS myelomeningocele with cerebellar tonsillar descent (likely Arnold Chiari Malformation type.

This paper sought to assess the impacts of teachers’ perceived difficulties, and learners’ anxiety towards the implementation of the communicative language teaching approach (CLT): a survey of selected secondary schools in Mbeya city. Mainly the study intended to find out whether or not the teachers' perceived difficulties on the one hand and the learners' language learning anxiety on another hand are factors for the failure of the implementation of the CLT approach in the classrooms. The study used an experimental research design. To comply with it a quantitative research approach was used in collecting and analyzing the data. The data was specifically collected by questionnaires: one was designated for EFL teachers (teachers of English as a foreign language) while the other was for EFL learners (learners of English as a foreign language). The collected data were analyzed quantitatively with the aid of an SPSS software version 25 before they were presented. The research concluded that the teacher's perceived difficulties and learners' English language learning anxiety have negative impacts on the implementation of the CLT approach in the classrooms, and lastly, the study recommended that the teachers’ in-service capacity programs should be given extra weight to update them with the knowledge and principles of the CLT. The government to continue building more classes to ease the problem of class overcrowding and to encourage teachers to be removers of learners' English language learning anxiety by motivating learners to be confident and comfortable to participate in all learning activities. The study will help teachers to overcome the notion that the CLT approach is difficult to implement as well as help learners overcome anxiety during classrooms' teaching and learning activities.

The present study was undertaken to evaluate the “effectiveness of pranayama to relieve the exam-oriented anxiety of fourth-year B.Sc. Nursing students in Kannur. It is a type of breathing exercise, which reduces anxiety with improve brain function. The objective of the study was by using the Westside test anxiety scale to assess the level of anxiety in the pretest, to assess the level of anxiety as post-test after giving Pranayama, to find out the co-relation of pretest and post-test anxiety scale, find out the association of anxiety with selected demographic variable. The hypothesis of the study H1- There is significant effectiveness in the reduction of exam-oriented anxiety by doing Pranayama. H2- There is a significant association between the pretest score and selected demographic variables. The conceptual framework used for the study was general system theory. Pranayama is the independent variable and exam-oriented anxiety is the dependent variable. One group pretest-posttest design was used as the research design. A purposive sampling technique was used in this study to collect the samples. Sample size was 30 for the study. After the pretest, Pranayama is given, and after a week posttest is conducted. The result of the study reveals that the pretest mean score was 3.27, with a standard deviation of 0.562. Posttest total mean score was 2.85, with a standard deviation of 0.64. The pretest score is higher than the post-test score. Hence it can be concluded that there is a significant reduction in test anxiety after giving the Pranayama. So the Pranayama is very effective to reduce anxiety among exam-going students. There is a significant association between the pretest score and related demographic variables like age, religion, previous experience in relaxation methods, number of online classes attended in the last year etc.

Nursing is an extremely difficult calling, which requires exceptionally tough preparation since starting long stretches of nursing instruction. All through the preparation period, understudies are presented to different upsetting circumstances. Powerlessness to adapt up to changed stressors might prompt mental pain and block understudies quests for nursing-vocation. Nursing understudies experience the ill effects of elevated degrees of stress connected with scholarly tasks not with standing clinical abilities preparing. As a psychosocial peculiarity, stress influences understudies' scholarly accomplishment and prosperity. Survival strategies assist understudies with managing the difficulties emerging from pressure. Mental stress can affect nursing students' scholarly and clinical performance as well as their future work lives as it may be related to unsafe substance use and low compassion. Stress is additionally connected with genuine emotional wellness issues including sorrow which is one of the main sources of inability internationally. Anxiety levels in nursing students range from mild to severe. Fundamental stressors recognized included pressure through the minding of patients, tasks and responsibilities, and negative communications with staff and workforce. Normal survival techniques used by nursing understudies included critical thinking systems like creating goals to determine issues, embracing different methodologies to take care of issues, and tracking down the significance of upsetting occasions.

This review looks at different programs and methods for getting kids to eat healthier, as well as how they might affect their mental and physical health in the long run. The focus is on how important it is for parents, schools, communities, and technology to shape kids' food decisions and general health. Nutrition education programs in schools are successful at teaching kids what they need to know about food and how it affects their health. By including nutrition lessons in the curriculum, schools can teach kids to make healthy food choices for the rest of their lives. Children's eating habits were found to be affected by how many parents helped them. When parents eat healthily, include their kids in meal planning and preparation, and create a good food situation, their kids are more likely to do the same and have better health in the long run. Community-based activities and partnerships are great ways to get kids directly involved with healthy foods. By making it easier for people to get fresh food, like through farmer's markets, community gardens, and cooking classes, we can help towns develop a good food culture and teach people how to eat well. We can't ignore how the media and marketing affect the foods that kids like to eat. By using the media and marketing to push better foods, we can counteract the effect of ads for unhealthy, processed foods and get kids to choose healthier foods. Interventions that use technology have also shown promise in getting kids interested in learning about eating. We can make learning about nutrition fun and easy by using interactive and educational apps and online tools. This will help us reach a bigger audience and give each person the knowledge and support they need. Overall, the review shows how important it is to help kids develop good eating habits early on. Setting up healthy eating habits at a young age can lower the chance of obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and mental health problems as an adult, making for a better life.
