RESUMO

Aim: The aim of the study is to find out the role of common haematological parameters along with micro-ESR, I/T ratio in diagnosis of neonatal sepsis for initiating early management. Methods: This is a descriptive study consisting of 35 neonates admitted at a sophisticated institute with clinical suspicion of septicaemia along with 40 neonates as the comparison group. The neonatal haematological parameters including total leucocytes count, absolute neutrophil count, immature neutrophil count, I/T ratio, platelet count were measured in all the neonates. Micro-ESR was measured as a bed side test. CRP was also measured using slide agglutination method and the results were compared with turbidimetric method. Blood culture was done as a gold standard test for sepsis. Micro-ESR more than age of the patient in days +3 mm in 1st hour was considered significant for sepsis. I/T ratio more than or equal to 0.2 was considered positive for sepsis. Results: The study revealed that micro-ESR and I/T ratio were significantly higher (p<0.001) in suspected cases of septicaemia as compared to the neonates in the comparison group. Sensitivity and specificity of micro-ESR were 87.09% and 75.0% respectively. Sensitivity and specificity of I/T ratio were 93.54% and 95% respectively. Conclusion: Micro-ESR and I/T ratio can be used effectively as cheap and simple tests to screen for septicaemia in neonate which is possible even in a primary health care centre.

RESUMO

Higher Secondary School students and their teachers were studied to assess the knowledge about AIDS and attitude towards AIDS patients. Only 13.5% senior school students and 16.2% teachers had clear knowledge regarding AIDS--its general aspects, transmission and prevention. Girls had higher and clear knowledge than boys. 45.8% of girls, 38.8% of boys students and 20.3% of teachers had positive attitudes towards nursing an AIDS case. It is suggested that schools have to device ways to open up more effective communication with students in relation to education on sex and AIDS. Training on AIDS should be emphasized on school teachers who on their turn can teach the students in a correct way about AIDS.

RESUMO

Sixty two adults, including forty one males (16-36 yrs.) and twenty one females (16-25 yrs.), were studied by closed circuit method as regards their B.M.R. Males showed a greater lowering of metabolism than the females when compared to MF and AD standards. The females actually showed a higher B.M.R. than the RR standards. Both the sexes had a higher basal metabolism than the value reported from other parts of the country. The difference, however, was significant only in the case of females. Winter metabolism was not sigificantly higher than the summer value in either sex, though females showed some what greater variation.
