Abstract

Adolescence is long-standing behavioral difficulties which may results in mental health problem. Adolescence are school going and knowledge of school teachers have important impact on these adolescents. So this present study was aimed to find out the factors affecting on knowledge of school teachers regarding adolescent behavioral problems. This study observed that a majority of the respondents (83%) had good level of knowledge on adolescent behavioral problems. It was also observed that although sex of teacher was not found to associated with this knowledge but this knowledge of school teachers was found to associated with age of school teacher, experience of service and status of in service trainings. It was found that knowledge of the school teachers regarding adolescent behavioral problems increases with increase age. It was also found that knowledge regarding adolescent behavioral problems was observed in school teachers who have 6-10 years of service and in those who had received in service trainings than their counterparts.

Abstract

Glaucoma is the leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide and is second only to cataract as the most common cause of blindness overall. Ocular Hypertension is the precursor of glaucoma. Central Corneal Thickness (CCT) is an important factor which is assessed to know the prognosis in management of the already diagnosed cases of glaucoma are assessed and Ocular Hypertension is pre glaucoma stage so this study was conducted to compare Central Corneal Thickness (CCT) Open-angle glaucoma (OAG) and Ocular Hypertension (OHT) cases. This study was conducted on 30 OAG and 30 OHT cases. It was observed that CCT is significantly lowered in OAG cases than OHT cases.

Abstract

The most common fractures of the spine occur in the thoracic (mid back) and lumbar spine (lower back) or at the junction of the two (thoracolumbar junction). These fractures are managed surgically. This study was conducted on 50 thoracolumber fracture cases to find out better management modality among open short segment injury level pedicle screw fixation and conventional open short segment pedicle screw fixation. Inference was made with un paried’t’ test and chi square test. It was observed that average Surgical blood loss and post op drain in open short segment injury level pedicle screw fixation and conventional open short segment pedicle screw fixation is almost similar with insignificant difference (p>0.05) only and average surgical time was significantly more in open short segment injury level pedicle screw fixation and conventional. It was observed that the results of open short segment injury level pedicle screw fixation shows significantly better correction of saggital cobb’s angle (p<0.001). There was no significant difference in other corrections like fractured vertebral body (°) angle, anterior vertebral body height and Posterior vertebral body height. Final outcome after one year follow up as per Modified MacNab criteria was without significant difference in both the groups. In patients treated with open short segment Injury level pedicle screw fixation had developed more infection rate (16%) but lesser or no Hardware failure (0%) in compare to conventional short segment pedicle screw fixation where infection rate is (12%) and hardware failure problem (12%). Hardware failure was significantly less in open short segment Injury level pedicle screw fixation than conventional one. So it can be concluded that open short segment injury level pedicle screw fixation is better than conventional open short segment pedicle screw fixation.
