ABSTRACT
Background: Picky eating is very common problem encountered by parents which does not require much intervention until other problems like micronutrients deficiency, stunting, wasting and malnutrition. Picky eating is mostly seen in preschool children and gradually withers away as age progresses but nevertheless parents need to take guard and observe the child and report any abnormality. The study was undertaken to understand the impact of picky eating on weight and height for age. Methods: The cross-sectional observational study was conducted among children attending outpatient department of tertiary health care centre in Hyderabad. A total of 200 children were included between the age 2 and 6 years. The anthropometric measurements were taken, tabulated and placed appropriately for weight for age, height for age and weight for height. Results: Among 200 Pre-school children Picky eating behaviour was observed in 54% children. The study showed among the picky eaters group the height and weight for age was lower when compared to non- picky eaters. When both picky and non- picky eaters, anthropometry were measured for association, Significance was observed for weight for age (p=0.001), height for age (p=0.001) and weight for height (p=0.01) depicting picky eating behaviour had an impact on growth of the child. Conclusion: Picky eating behaviour was observed in majority of preschool children. The height, weight and BMI is lowered compared to non-picky eaters. Interventions like parent counseling is needed and if needed medical intervention will be required.
ABSTRACT
A learning system based on formalized teaching but with the help of electronic resources is known as E-learning. Countries around the world had imposed large-scale physical distancing measures and movement restrictions often referred to as ‘lockdowns’, to slow COVID?19 transmission by limiting contact between people. Students around the country had to undergo E-learning. The study is conducted to assess the knowledge and perception about E-learning among medical students, to assess the factors which act as a barrier to effective learning via E-learning platforms. A pre-tested questionnaire is sent to the undergraduate students of Osmania Medical College. 117 students were included in the study. Data was collected in Google Forms and analyzed using Google sheets. 91.5% of students had adequate knowledge and only 43.6% of students had a positive attitude towards E-learning. There is no significant difference between men and women in knowledge and attitude.
ABSTRACT
Endometrial stromal tumors (EST) arise from stromal component of endometrium and are rare and common in peri or postmenopausal age group. EST are partially estrogen dependent tumors and their histopathology resemble the stromal cells of normal proliferative endometrium. They present in varied forms pathologically ranging from most begin to most mligrant variants. Diagnosis essentially is by histopathology and prognosis is based on the mitotic activity of the tumor. We have presented here a case of EST presenting in a young nulliparous woman.
