Nasal carriage of S. aureus has been identified as a risk factor for community-acquired and nosocomial infections. Healthyhospital personnel may carry pathogenic hospital strains in their nose and skin and may spread these pathogens to thecommunity leading to more dreadful condition. This study was carried out at National Medical College & Teaching Hospitalwith the objective to study the nasal carriage of Staphylococcus aurues among the staffs at the hospital. A total of 54 nasalswabs were taken from the hospital staff. All the samples were processed following standard microbiological method. Grampositive cocci that were mannitol fermenting, catalase positive and coagulase positive isolates were considered as S. aureus.Nasal carriage rate of S. aureus among hospital staff was found to be 20.37%. Carriage among male and female staff was19% and 21.2% respectively (p>0.05). All nasal S. aureus isolates were sensitive to Amikacin and Vancomycin. Methicillinresistance rate was found to be 45.5%. High rate of nasal carriage of S. aureus indicates need for standard infection controlpractices to prevent transmission. Key words: Hospital staff, Nasal Carriage, S. aureus

Childhood is a time of active growth in terms of physical size, mental, emotional and psychological development. Normal growth is dependent on adequate nutrition and encompasses major transformations from birth to adulthood. Socio-economic status and behaviors of family members, environmental factors are other determinants of nutritional status of under five year children. This research was conducted to assess the factors associated with nutritional status of under five year children in Rupandehi District of Nepal. This was a community based Cross-sectional study. It was conducted in Rupandehi. Two hundred ninety two children were selected using proportionate random sampling technique. For collecting the data, selected households were visited by enumerators for two months from January to February 2008. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 12. The proportion of the participants was 51.7% male and 48.7%female. Nearly half of the children (45.9%) of the children aged 36- 59 months were under weight according to Indian Academy of Pediatrics (NCHS/WHO standard). Fifty percent of the children born to illiterate mothers were found underweight. Majority of the children (65%) were found stunted according to Waterlow’s classification. More than the half the children (57.75%) were underweight who were born by mother less than 18 years of age where as 75% were underweight born by mother aged above 35 years of age. However the association between age of the mother at the birth of the child and nutritional status is not statistically significant. More than half of the children were found underweight and Nearly 2/3rd of the children were found stunted. To get better nutritional status of children, greater emphasis should be given to under five years children with community based awareness programs to mother and care givers.

童年是一个在身体大小、智力、情感和心理发展方面积极成长的时期。正常的生长依赖于充足的营养，包括从出生到成年的重大转变。社会经济地位和家庭成员的行为、环境因素是五岁以下儿童营养状况的其他决定因素。本研究旨在评估尼泊尔Rupandehi地区五岁以下儿童营养状况的相关因素。这是一个基于社区的横断面研究。这是在鲁潘德进行的。采用比例随机抽样方法，抽取儿童192名。为收集数据，统计员于2008年1月至2月期间访问了选定的住户，为期两个月。数据采用SPSS version 12进行分析。参与者中男性占51.7%，女性占48.7%。根据印度儿科学会(NCHS/WHO标准)，年龄在36- 59个月的儿童中有近一半(45.9%)体重不足。文盲母亲所生的孩子中，有50%体重过轻。根据沃特洛的分类，大多数儿童(65%)发育迟缓。18岁以下母亲所生儿童体重过轻(57.75%)，35岁以上母亲所生儿童体重过轻(75%)。然而，母亲在孩子出生时的年龄与营养状况之间的关联在统计上并不显著。超过一半的儿童被发现体重不足，近三分之二的儿童被发现发育迟缓。为了改善儿童的营养状况，应更加重视五岁以下儿童，并开展以社区为基础的提高母亲和照顾者意识的项目。关键词:按年龄身高，按年龄体重，营养不良，瓦特洛分类

This is a cross-sectional descriptive study aimed to assess the attitude on premarital sex, marriage and family size among school going adolescents in Pokhara valley in 2006. The study included 400 students carried out from 170 from 8 government schools and 230 from 8 private schools of the classes X, XI, and XII of the Pokhara valley. The self administered questionnaire prepared in Nepali method was applied for collecting information from randomly selected students in each selected school. Out of total, 57.5 % students were boys and 91% were in age group of 15-18 years. About two-fifths (41%) of the students did not agree with the statement that “premarital sex is not good”. This attitude was higher in boys than girls (46% versus 34%) and in government school students than private school students (57% versus 33%). More than half (62%) students preferred arranged marriage, and it comprised 73% of girls and 53% of boys. Almost all of the students (97%) were of the opinion that a couple should not have more than two children. Of total, 85% of the students’ preferred to have one son. The preference of a son is slightly higher in girls (87%) than in boys (84%). About half of the students (53%) were aware that biologically male is responsible for the sex of the child. This knowledge was higher in the boys (54%) and those studying in government school (58%) than girl students (51%) and private school students (50%). This concludes that male were more liberal towards premarital sex, self arranged marriage, sex preference than girls. Key words: Attitude, Premarital Sex, Marriage, Adolescents, Family Size

The estimated contraceptive prevalence rate of Chitwan is based on the data of health management and information system. Therefore, this study aimed to find out the actual magnitude of family planning use among different age groups, castes, educational status, etc. A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted in Gardi village development committee of Chitwan district from June 15, 2012 to July 5, 2012. A total of 246 married women of reproductive age were studied, who were obtained from 410 households selected from the total households of the village development committee using stratified proportionate random sampling technique. Structured interview was done and data were analyzed using SPSS version 16. Percentages of the variables were calculated and cross-tabulations were done. The percentage of family planning use was 65%, increasing after the age of thirty years- 70% on average in each age group thereafter. More Dalits (76%) used family planning methods than Janajatis (58%). About three quarters of women were met with primary education and 69% of illiterates used family planning, with the least percentage (37%) among those with SLC and above education. Most common method was male sterilization (41%), followed by female sterilization (21%). The reasons for not using family planning were given as: no need of family planning (78%), feared side-effects (17%) and did not know any methods (5%). For an awareness program of family planning, couples with caste Janajati, those having education SLC and above and younger age groups should be given more priority.
