Kerala is the diabetes capital of India. The prevalence of diabetes closely reflects the lifestyle of a population. The purpose of the study is to assess the effectiveness of Structured Teaching Programme (STP) on knowledge, attitude and practice regarding home care management of Type II Diabetes mellitus among prediabetes patients in selected wards of Chunakkara Panchayat in Aleppey District. The research method adopted for this study was quantitative method, pre-experimental one group pre-test and post-test design. The investigator carried out pre-clinical assessment among 250 subjects from the selected wards of Chunakkara Panchayath out of which 50-prediabetes subjects were chosen using non-probability purposive sampling technique. The researcher assessed the knowledge, attitude and practice regarding home care management of Type II Diabetes mellitus using a structured questionnaire, attitude scale and self- reported practice checklist followed by a structured teaching programme. The study revealed that among the 50 subjects nearly half of the subjects (42 %) were between the age group of 51 - 60 years and 58% were females. During pre-test out of the 50 subjects, 52% had poor knowledge, 48% had average knowledge; 52% of the subjects had an average attitude, 42% has a poor attitude; 74% had a poor practice, 13% has a satisfactory level of practice. Whereas in post-test 84% had good knowledge, 16% had average knowledge; 84% had good attitude, 16% had average attitude; 26% had good practice and 74% had satisfactory level of practice regarding home care management of Type II diabetes mellitus. The paired’ value obtained was 26.63, 18.322 and 16.46 respectively. Hence, research hypothesis was accepted at 0.05 level of significance. The pre-test practice was associated with the sociodemographic variable age and no other associations found. The study concluded that structured teaching programme is very effective to improve the knowledge, attitude and practice.

A study to assess the effectiveness of structured teaching programme on knowledge and attitude regarding breast feeding and weaning practices among post-natal mothers in channasandra urban, Bangalore city. The Research approach adopted for this study is evaluative Approach. The research design adopted for the study was quasi experimental, one group pre-test and post-test design was applied. The non-probability convenient cluster sampling was used to select the sample for the study. The sample consists of the 40 post-natal mothers who are in channasandra urban area in Bangalore city. Karnataka. The instrument used for the data collection was self-administered questionnaire. Analysis result showed that overall knowledge pre-test mean was 24.65, mean% 62.20% with SD 4.60518. And post-test knowledge mean was 30.175, and mean% 77.37% with SD 05.13853. An overall attitude pre-test mean was 10.575, mean% 66.09% with SD 2.06171.and post-test attitude mean12.625, mean% 78.90% with SD2.30593. So the knowledge and attitude score of 40 postnatal mothers regarding breast feeding and weaning practices had an enhancement of knowledge score observed is 14.17% and enhancement of attitude score as observed 12.18%. Since the post-test value was more than the pre0test, the STP was effective. The comparison of pre-test and post-test knowledge of postnatal mothers regarding breast feeding and weaning reveals that the overall knowledge pre-test mean 24.65 with SD 4.60518 and post0test mean 30.175 with SD 5.13853. The paired “t” test value 6.485988 which is higher than the table value, which is highly significant at 0.05 levels. So it indicates the STP was effective. The variables between knowledge mean 24.65 with SD 4.60518 in pre-test. And attitude mean 10.575 with SD 2.06171, the “r” value of knowledge and attitude was r-0.0244, a positive correlation which shows the study is significant. There was significant association between pre-test level of knowledge with selected demographic variables such as Age 10.719, df=4 S*and post-test knowledge Age 8.697 df=2 S*, mother’s education 13.561 df= 4 S*, father’s occupation 9.061 df=3 S*, sources of information 10.239 df=3 S*. Since the obtained value is more than the table value at 0.05 level of significance. So the results shows there is a significant association between pretest and post test knowledge score with their selected demographic variables so H3 Hypothesis is accepted. The findings of the study recommended the further interventional approach regarding knowledge and attitude on breast feeding and weaning practices among post-natal mothers is required. The present study was proved the standard teaching program was effective in increasing the knowledge and attitude of breast feeding and weaning practices among post-natal mothers.

Text neck syndrome is charactrised by pain in the neck, pain in the muscles of the neck and shoulder, and may even involve a degeneration of the bones, joints, or spinal discs in the neck. This becomes a problem when injury around the neck area happens over and over again through the use of mobile phone or other electronic devices over a long period of time. A study was conducted with an objective of identifying the incidence of Text neck syndrome among 50 young adults and their knowledge regarding the condition by using a questionnaire. Sample was selected by non probability sampling – purposive sampling technique and data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Study results show Majority of the sample (58%) had good knowledge and 32% had average knowledge regarding Text Neck Syndrome. There was subjects who show the clinical manifestations of text neck syndrome such as postural abnormality (8%) and neck pain (8%). It was also noted an association of knowledge on text neck syndrome with selected demographic variables such as gender, educational status and monthly income (p<0.05).

Background: Nurses play a critical role in ensuring successful patient outcomes. Preventing cellular damage from hypoxia, preventing acidosis from hypercapnia, and relieving patients' symptoms and distress all require adequate oxygen levels. The goal of oxygen therapy is to supplement the inspired oxygen concentration in order to prevent tissue hypoxia and subsequent cellular dysfunction1. Cellular oxygen delivery is a mechanism that relies on inspired oxygen as well as haemoglobin concentration, its ability to saturate with oxygen, and cardiac output to deliver oxygen to cells (Higgins, 2007)2. Objective: To assess the Effectiveness of High Flow Nasal Oxygen Therapy Vs Non-Invasive Ventilation on Respiratory Parameters among Patients with Acute Respiratory Failure. Methodology: A descriptive research design pretest post-test only design was adopted for the study. Results: The majority of patients with acute respiratory failure treated with HFNC showed ABG parameters such as pH(7.35-7.45), SaO2(94-100%), pO2(80-100mmHg), pCO2(35-45mmHg), and HCO3(22-26mEq/L) on admission, after an hour, 8 hours and 24 hours of admission, were 62.85%, 68.57%, 68.6%, 74.28% and 14%, 57.14%, 51.4%, 47.71% and 62.85%, 68.57%, 38.6%, 74.28% and 77.14%, 74.28%, 80%, 57.14% and 80%, 80%, 82% respectively. The majority of patients with acute respiratory failure treated with BiPAP showed ABG parameters such as pH(<7.35), SaO2(94-100%), pO2(80-100mmHg), pCO2(35-45mmHg), and HCO3(22-26mEq/L) on admission, after an hour, 8 hours and 24 hours of admission, were 40%, 57.14%, 57.14%, 60% (Acidosis) and 68.5%, 62.85%, 57.14%, 60.7% and 74.28%, 62.85%, 57.14%, 51.42% and 60%, 57.14%, 51.42%, 60% and 77.14%, 77.14%, 74.28%, 85.71% respectively. Thus, the results showed that the respiratory parameter of the patients of HFNC was better with M=11.6, SD=1.35 when compared to the patients on BIPAP with M=13.51, SD =1.77 and an independent ‘t’ test was 5.232 at p<0.001. Hence, the null hypothesis stated that there was no difference in the respiratory parameters of patients on BIPAP and HFNC was rejected. This shows that HFNC was a better mode of ventilation.

The complex combination of numerous microbes present in the GI tract of human being is referred to as Gut microbiota, consists of almost 1000 microbial cells, that is almost many times higher than that of human tissues in a person. The intestinal microbiota in each person has a completely unique blend of species. Trillions of microbes are present in the human body which include both beneficial and dangerous organisms. The microbiota plays a crucial role in nutritional status, immune level and effects on the behaviour and cognitive development. The human gastrointestinal tract has many bacterial species, provides a microbial barrier in opposition to potential pathogens and it regulates the frame's immune responses. The gut microbiota composition has a major function in the occurrence of liver illnesses. Variations within the gut microbiota seem to have an important position in the pathogenesis and progression of many gastrointestinal and liver sicknesses. Alterations within the features of liver-intestine axis can cause release of pro-inflammatory cytokines and autoimmune responses inside the liver which can have deleterious impact on liver cells. Administration of health enhancing microbes may ameliorate dangerous interactions and hepatic disorders. This review addresses the role of intestine microbiota in hepatic diseases and the impact of probiotics in the management of hepatic diseases.
