Authors: Chivate Shukra , Hawaldar Saniya 
Published: August 2024

Context:
As the educational levels and socioeconomic status of parents are low in developing countries, providing knowledge about early childhood development (ECD), the importance of early stimulation, proper caregiving practices, and ensuring the quality of the home environment through an integrated intervention is critical. In this situation, it is also critical to consider and assess the parental facts, attitudes, and practices before devising any intervention strategy. Hence, the current study intended to assess the knowledge, attitude, and practice of parents in ECD.

Materials and Methods:
An observational study was conducted in Belagavi City on 200 parents of children between the age group of 0 and 5 years. A structured questionnaire was used to assess the knowledge, attitude, and practice of the parents about ECD visiting the well-baby clinic and pediatric outpatient department of a tertiary care hospital.

Statistical Analysis:
For the test of significance, Chi-square and multiple liner regression analysis were used to find out the relationship between factors and to find the dependency status between dependent and independent variables.

Results:
In knowledge, P = 0.001 indicated significant knowledge of parents about the ECD, providing a strong understanding of their child’s development. The parents frequently paid attention to their children’s behavior, indicating that they had a positive attitude toward their children’s growth with a significant P = 0.001, and in the practice part, P = 0.001 indicated good significant practice of parents by frequently performing home learning techniques.

Conclusion:
The present study concluded that parents exhibit significant knowledge, positive attitudes, and effective practices regarding child development for children aged 0 to 5 years.

Authors: Dharwadkar Raghavendreasingh , Behere Tanvi , Thakare Siddhi , Joshi Vaidehi , Pujar Varun 
Published: August 2024

Background:
Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) being a complication of diabetes affects balance and causes sensory impairment which links to deterioration of quality of life. As the age advances the risk of fall due to DPN also increases, and hence, the aim of this study was to determine the effect of sensory re-education in combination with balance training on fall risk and quality of life in elderly DPN patients.

Methodology:
This study includes 27 participants meeting the inclusion criteria which include 60–75 of age, who can ambulate with or without assistance and modified Toronto clinical scoring scale ≥6–8. Balance was assessed using the Berg Balance Scale, Dynamic Gait Index, and quality of life by EuroQol-5Dimension-5 Level (EQ-5D-5 L), respectively. Those who had diabetic foot ulcers and other neurological impairments were excluded from the study.

Results:
There was significant improvement in balance quality of life and reduction in fall risk (P = 0.001 <0.05) after 4 weeks of treatment.

Conclusion:
A significant improvement in balance, quality of life, and reduction of fall risk is seen in older adults with DPN.
Intensifying psychosocial support for child headed household learners in schools for sense of belonging and sustainable learning
Authors: Lepheana Alice , Alexander Gregory 
Published: August 2024

The paper addresses the social challenges which affect learners from child-headed households (CHHs) and impact them psychologically in learning. The observation of poor academic performance emanating from different challenges they experience, specifically in school, suggests a need to intensify psychosocial support. CHHs in South Africa, as in other countries, is an increasingly significant problem noticed since 2000. Through Critical emancipatory theory and participatory action research (PAR), different stakeholders from the society in Xhariep district were identified, meetings and open-ended face-to-face free attitude interviews were conducted with six CHH learners as key role-players to gather suitable data. The research found that anger, low self-esteem, learner behaviour and lack of appropriate life skills were main challenges experienced. Critical discourse was helpful in analysing data. Consequently, different workshops were conducted as a means of empowerment and intensifying psychosocial support (PSS), leading to the emergence of an appropriate framework. The study concludes by highlighting amongst other recommendations that this phenomenon`s existence be acknowledged in different societies and communities, also psychosocial support as intensified be implemented in all other schools with CHH challenges and even similar challenges.

Authors: Mesfin Sinetibeb , Lami Megersa , Lemma Elizabeth , Abebe Dawit 
Published: August 2024

Background: Complications of prematurity are one of the leading causes of death in children under the age of five across the world. Preterm delivery can cause cognitive impairment, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, neurocognitive deficits, and poor academic performance in children. All of these problems lead to poor quality of life and long-term health effects. Despite significant reductions in neonatal mortality in Ethiopia, preterm birth rates remain high. The objective of the study is to identify the determinants of preterm birth among mothers who gave birth at Sheik-Hassen Yebere Jigjiga University Referral Hospital from June 1 to July 30, 2021 .
Methods : An unmatched case-control study design was employed among 381 mothers (127 cases and 254 controls) who delivered at Sheik-Hassen Yebere Jigjiga University Referral Hospital in Jigjiga Town between January 1, 2018, and December 31, 2019. The medical records of eligible participants were randomly selected using a computer-generated simple random sampling method. Both bivariate and multivariable logistic regression models were used, and independent determinants were determined based on adjusted odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals and a pvalue of less than 0.05 .
Results: A total of 381 charts were reviewed, 127 cases, and 254 controls. The mean gestational age was 32.5+2.57SD and 39+2.57SD weeks for preterm and term respectively. History of less than or equal to 4 ANC visits (AOR 6.43 CI 3.1-13.20), male fetus (AOR 2.04, 95% CI 1.2-5.2), reside in rural areas (AOR 2.51, 95% CI 1.4-6.74), maternal hemoglobin level <11mg/dL (AOR 3.32, 95% CI 1.4- 13.2), neonates who had congenital birth defects (AOR 3.49 CI 1.4.4-8.68) were significantly associated with preterm birth.
Conclusion: Based on the factors that contribute to preterm birth, it is important to encourage pregnant women to regularly take iron and folic acid supplements and to attend their scheduled antenatal care visits. In addition, improving healthcare accessibility in rural regions is crucial.

An Unusual presentation of Cutaneous Sarcoidosis in a Nigerian: A case report
Authors: Sani H. 
Published: August 2024

Background: Sarcoidosis is an idiopathic disorder which present with different manifestation. This is an unusual case of cutaneous sarcoidosis with extensive polymorphic lesions on the skin as the only organ involved.
Case Report: Mrs. A.O, a 28 year old house-wife presented with a one year history of progressive itchy, reddish, raised skin rashes for one year. Lesions were initially localized to the chest and limbs but subsequently involved the whole body including the palms and soles. No history of fever or weight loss. On examination, she had generalized erythematous, annular and arcuate plaques with areas of active edges involving the whole body including the palms and soles. Healed lesions were atrophic and hyperpigmented (Figure 1). No mucosal involvement. Her chest radiograph, FBC, ESR, LFT, serum Calcium, ACE levels (20U/L) and ECG were normal, while her Mantoux and Gene expert test was negative. Biopsy of the lesion showed dermal infiltrates, composed of epithelioid histocytes disposed in nodules as well as multinucleated giant cells of langhans and foreign body types features consistent with cutaneous annular sarcoidosis (Figure 3 and 4). She was placed on systemic steroids followed by topical steroids and made significant improvement. (figure 2)
Conclusion: Sarcoidosis is not common in our environment and cutaneous manifestation as the sole presentation is even rarer. We report one such case with skin as the sole organ affected and equally of interest is the extensive nature of the lesions observed.

INTRODUCTION: Intestinal parasitic infections pose a significant health burden globally, particularly in developing nations. This study aims to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of caregivers regarding the prevention of intestinal parasites among children under 5 years of age in Masaka sector of Kigali, Rwanda.
METHODS: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted using multistage sampling, incorporating purposive and simple random sampling methods to recruit 383 participants.
RESULTS: This study indicated a high level of awareness among participants regarding symptoms associated with intestinal parasites, with 86.1% recognizing vomiting and 83% acknowledging diarrhea. However, only 26.1% were aware of weight loss as a symptom. Factors such as symptom intensity, cultural differences, and educational backgrounds influenced awareness levels. Notably, 61.1% of caregivers rated preventing infections as "very important," while 26.9% considered it "extremely important," reflecting a strong consensus on safeguarding child health. Furthermore, over 70% emphasized the significance of handwashing, clean water, and sanitation in preventing intestinal parasites.
CONCLUSION: While caregivers demonstrate an understanding of common symptoms and sources of intestinal parasite infection, knowledge gaps persist regarding prevention strategies. Nonetheless, a significant majority of caregivers exhibit commendable preventive practices.

Published: August 2024

This study was motivated by the pastoral need to effectively guide the laity who often come to Priests and Religious seeking guidance in discerning private revelations such as dreams, locutions, visions, and prophetic messages. Christians have become victims of false prophets, fraudsters, and charlatans, who pontificate claims of private revelations as means for manipulating others. Despite this, there is little in the formation program to prepare Priests and Religious for spiritual discernment of private revelations. The main objective of the study was to explore ways of enhancing initial formation for spiritual discernment of private revelations in the Redemptorist Vice-Province of Nigeria. This qualitative study adopted an exploratory research design. The study utilized an Interview Guide for data collection. The purposive sampling technique was used to select 16 formators to participate in the study. Thematic analysis was used to generate themes from the data that was collected. Findings revealed that through competent formators, change of mindset, spiritual direction, spiritual reading, introducing a new course, focusing more on learning, and community sharing, candidates can better be prepared for discerning private revelations.

Authors: Food Standards Agency  , Food Standards Scotland  
Published: August 2024

An application was submitted to the Food Standards Agency in April 2021 from Victory Enzymes GmbH (‘the applicant’) for the new of authorisation of an additive (VTR-xylanase) containing endo-β-1,4-xylanase, under the category of ‘zootechnical additives’ and functional group ‘digestibility enhancers’. The additive is proposed to be used at an inclusion rate of 2000 U/kg for weaned piglets, suckling piglets, minor growing porcine species, laying hens and other laying birds, and at an inclusion rate of 1,000 U/kg for chickens for fattening and minor avian species. To support the Food Standards Agency (FSA) and Food Standards Scotland (FSS) in evaluating the dossier, the Advisory Committee on Animal Feedingstuffs (ACAF) were asked to review the dossier and the supplementary information from the applicant. The FSA/FSS concluded, based on the ACAF’s advice, that the additive was correctly characterised, and that it is stable for 12 months in its powder form when stored at 25°C, and for 18 months in its liquid form when stored at 5°C. The additive is stable at 70°C for 15 seconds during pelleting. Homogeneity in feed was also demonstrated. No further concerns were raised for section II of the dossier. The additive can be considered safe for the target species, consumers and the environment. The additive should be regarded as a skin sensitiser in both its powder and liquid form. The liquid form of the additive is not a skin irritant. In its powder form, the additive should be considered a potential skin irritant. The additive should be considered an irritant to the eyes in both forms. As an enzyme preparation, the additive should be considered a potential respiratory sensitiser. VTR-xylanase is efficacious for weaned piglets, suckling piglets, minor growing porcine species, laying hens and other laying birds at 2,000 U/kg, and in chickens for fattening and minor avian species at 1,000 U/kg. The views of ACAF have been taken into account in the safety assessment which represents the opinion of the FSA and FSS.
