Quasi experimental study to assess effectiveness of video teaching programme on knowledge regarding prevention and first aid management of selected home accidents among mothers of under five children residing in selected villages of District. Sirmour, Himachal Pradesh

Accidents are the main cause of injury and even death in children. People only relate accidents to a traffic accident or accidents in outdoor activities. However, as a matter of fact, the place where people regard as the safest place–home–hides many “hazards”. Accidents are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in children. The largest number of accidents happen in the living/dining room. However, the most serious accidents happen in the kitchen and on the stairs. Every year more than 67,000 children experience an accident in the kitchen - 43,000 of these are aged between 0-4 years; 58,000 children have accidents on the stairs. About 90% of all accidents are preventable by safety measures. Most of these accidents are preventable through increased awareness, improvements in the home environment and greater product safety. Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of video teaching programme on knowledge regarding prevention and first aid management of selected home accidents. The study adopted quasi-experimental pretest-post control group test research design and was conducted at selected villages of District Sirmour, H.P. A total of 60 mothers (30 experimental groups) (30 control group) were selected by Non-probability convenience sampling technique. A structured knowledge questionnaire was used to assess the knowledge regarding prevention and first aid management of selected home accidents among mothers of under-five children. Data analysis was done by descriptive and inferential statistics. The study results showed that in experimental group knowledge pre-test mean ±SD was (18.50± 3.739) and post-test mean and SD was (23.87 ± 2.177) and p<0.05 level of significance i.e. (0.001**). There is a highly significant increase in knowledge of mothers of under-five children after the video teaching programme. Hence it is proved that the research hypothesis is accepted. In the control group pre-test mean and SD was (19.30 ± 2.731) and post-test mean and SD was (20.00 ± 2.378). By organizing and providing the educational aid session we can improve the awareness and motivation to prevent household accident among under five children.

Neutrophil Extracellular Traps – The catapult of periodontal disease

Neutrophils are highly versatile and sophisticated cells which act as the body’s first line of defence. They act as effectors in both innate and adaptive immunoregulatory networks. Neutrophil extracellular traps are a new and unexpected antimicrobial activity of neutrophils wherein upon encountering bacteria, neutrophils release a meshlike structure capable of ensnaring and eliminating microbes. Studies have shown that periodontitis is characterized by neutrophil infiltration and the formation of Neutrophil Extracellular Traps (NETs). This review is intended to highlight the structure and formation of NET, NETosis, NET in health and disease and the role of NET production in periodontal pathophysiology.
