RESUMEN

Background: Lymphatic filariasis caused by nematode parasite is a public health problem in India. Filariasis in man manifests as acute and chronic lymphangitis, elephantiasis of genitalia arms, legs, hydrocele in males and lymphadenitis. The Government of India incorporated initial National Filaria Control Programme under the National Vector Born Disease Control Program (NVBDCP) with a goal of eliminating the disease as Public Health Problem by targeted date of year 2016. Aim: Aim of the study was to test the hypothesis that reducing “MICRO FILARAEMIA” in humans to <1% will stop transmission by mass administration of two drug for more than 5 Annual rounds with 65% coverage of total population. Materials and methods: The study was retrospective prospective analytical study from 2010 to 2014 (from coverage evaluation reports) of Medak dist. There is need to enhance community participation to cover more than 65% of total population for future 5 years. Results: The distribution of the drugs was carried to 68% of rural population and 18% of urban population. The effectiveness was only 57.7% of rural and 16% of urban population. The drug P.

An Operational Research on Annual Mass Drug Administration (MDA) For Elimination of Lymphatic Filariasis in Medak District, Telangana. IAIM, 2016; 3(7): 239-244. Page 240 compliance was 81% in rural and 87% in urban respectively. The coverage of the population for MDA by using DEC plus Albendazole tabs was 74.7% and 15.3% in rural and urban areas of Medak district respectively. But the actual effectiveness was observed 68% in rural and 15.3 % of urban population. However the drug compliance was found 91% of total population. 79.3% of respondents were aware of MDA trough banners / posters only. All other available Medias were found to be nonfunctional. Conclusion: MDA coverage was more in rural population in comparison with urban population. Major reasons for noncompliance having some underlying disease (40%), fear of side effects (18%) which can be overcome by intensification of IEC activities. In order to achieve the goal of elimination of lymphatic filariasis there is need to intensify IEC activates about modes of transmission and methods of prevention at community levels by all modes of communication so as increase the coverage with drugs.

RESUMEN

Background: The concept that eventually became unmet need of family planning was explored in 1960 when data from surveys of contraceptive KAP shoed a gap between some women’s reproductive intention and their contraceptive behavior. Aim: Objective of study was to estimate the socio economic and demographic patterns associated with the secondary infertility among those eligible couples who are in need of second child i.e. unmet need of family planning and to suggest remedial measures and advice to meet the needs of 2nd child. Materials and methods: The eligible couples are those, who are married, living together, having marital life and the age of the wife is in between 15 – 49 years. Simple random sampling technique was used to select 20 secondary infertility eligible couples from 450 ECs by making house to house survey. Results: The study results show that the upper middle and middle socio economic status is associated with the secondary infertility which is an obstacle to meet the needs of second child among the study group of eligible couples.

A study on the association of socio-demographic factors and secondary infertility among mothers with unmet needs of family planning in Sangareddy. IAIM, 2016; 3(7): 228-232.

RESUMEN

Between June 1986 and September 1987 a population of 100 families was dewormed every 3 months (quarter) by using a single dose of pyrantel. Stool samples were examined by Kato's thick smear method; height (m), weight (kg), hemoglobin concentration (g/dl) and clinical morbidity were recorded before each deworming treatment. Clinical morbidity was recorded in another 100 control families who did not receive anthelmlntics. There were 477 and 490 individuals in the study and the control families respectively. In the study group the prevalence of roundworm was reduced from 10.3% to to 0% and that of hookworm infection was reduced from 2.9% to 0% after 2 quarters. At the end of the 4th quarter the mean hemoglobin rose by 0.1 g/dl (P less than 0.01) and the mean BMI increased by 0.37 (P less than 0.01). There was a significant reduction in the clinical morbidity in the study group compared with the control group (P less than 0.05). There were no side effects reported to pyrantel treatment. Thus quarterly treatment with pyrantel was found to be effective in keeping roundworm and hookworm prevalence at 0% in an industrial township.
