Sleep problems are most commonly complained by parents of children suffering from ASD. About 20-30% of children less than 5 years with normal development give complaints of sleep problems mainly of bedtime resistance, sleep onset delay and night awakening. Less commonly reported sleep disturbance by parents is nightmares or night terrors repetitive and stereotypical behavior. Less frequently reported complain is of breathing sleep disorder. It has already been proved by many studies that ASD children have more complaints about sleep problems than in normal children. But the data of children with ASD having sleep problems in the Indian population is less, so with our study we want to know the prevalence of ASD c...

It is a typical ageing process that affects older adults and is influenced by both present risk factors and long-term hereditary and lifestyle factors. As the population ages, sarcopenia, which is common and has serious negative health implications, will become more prevalent. The approach of research study was quantitative research design. Pre-intervention and Post-intervention method is used in this study. The data were collected by using a Non-probability Convenience sampling technique and the sample size taken for this study was 100 and reviewed for the period of seven days after the intervention of Awareness program was given. The target population was geriatric group (65 years and above). This study was conducted in the Urban area of Pune City that is at Pashan. The knowledge and preventive questionnaire were discussed with the demographic variable. According to the intervention, the group's pre-intervention knowledge consisted as follows: 24% had outstanding knowledge, 44% had weak knowledge, and 30% had average knowledge. The group's knowledge is revealed by the research result. 67% population were having good knowledge where as 19% were having average knowledge and only 12% people were having poor knowledge after giving intervention. The current study concludes that the effectiveness of Awareness program on knowledge of Sarcopenia and its prevention has a positive impact on the urban community of selected area of Pune City (Pashan). This conclusion was drawn as a result of the findings of the study.

To reduce preoperative anxiety art therapy and bubble breaths were tested in this study. Aim: To compare and evaluate the effect of art therapy and bubble breaths on anxiety among children undergoing surgery in selected hospitals. Methods and Material: Quasi-experimental pre-test post-test control group design was adapted. The study was conducted among children undergoing surgery. 90 samples were selected using non-probability purposive sampling and data collection was done using demographic variables and Modified Short State Trait Anxiety Inventory. Art Therapy & Bubble Breaths were administered to Experimental Group1 & Experimental Group 2 respectively. Both groups received interventions 2 times. Results: Bubble breaths were significantly more effective in reducing the anxiety among children undergoing surgery as compared to art therapy. Conclusion: This study concludes that bubble breaths are more effective in reducing pre-operative anxiety and are enjoyable for children of all ages. This is cost-effective and can be included as a preoperative routine for reducing anxiety among children in preoperative period.

Conclusions: ARGOS and its lower acquisition failure rate compared to IOLMaster 500 and LENSTAR avoided additional ultrasound measurements which leads to economic benefits to centers in the United States. The acquisition failure rate is also reportedly lower for ARGOS vs. IOLMaster 700, however, further economic analysis will be needed to demonstrate the economic benefit.

The aim of this paper was to identify the prevalence of acute respiratory infection symptoms and coronavirus testing behaviour among South Australians using data from a population based survey. Methods We used cross-sectional data from the 2020 state-wide population level health survey on 6857 respondents aged 18 years and above. Descriptive statistics were used to explore the risk factors and multivariable logistic regression models were used to assess the factors associated with the acute respiratory infection symptoms and coronavirus testing behaviour after adjusting for gender, age, household size, household income, Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander status, SEIFA, Country of birth, number of chronic diseases, wellbeing, psychological distress, and ...
