Abstract:

Fever is a common problem in children especially in under-fives. Most fevers start outside the hospital thus management of fevers at home may limit complications from febrile illnesses. This study assessed mothers’ knowledge, attitude and practice of home management of fever in under-five children. It was a cross-sectional study and data was analyzed using SPSS version 23. Of 219 respondents, majority were of age group 31-40 years 114(52.1%) and of middle social class 56(50.0%). Most respondents correctly defined fever 165(75.3%), knew the causes of fever 149(68.0%), and the correct site of me

However, the practice in our center has been to discontinue parenteral antibiotic therapy and discharge many such patients before resolution of neutropenia. Since the feasibility and safety of this

Abstract:

Home care workers are likely to detect acute conditions in home care patients. Obtaining data about home care workers’ detection of acute conditions is essential for improving the present quality of home care. This study investigates how home care workers approach the acute conditions of their patients. A retrospective cohort study was conducted with all home care patients who received services from home care workers in Unnan City, Shimane, Japan. The primary outcome was the frequency of acute conditions occurring in home care patients. We used logistic regression to model the acute conditions

Abstract:

Diarrhoeal disease may cause, precipitate, or exacerbate protein-energy and micronutrient malnutrition through five possible mechanisms: 1) reduced food intake-reduction of food intake during diarrhoea may be due to the child's anorexia, maternal food-withholding behaviour, or both; 2) decreased absorption of nutrients-structural damage to the intestine, as well as the physical action of increased intestinal movement and reduced fluid transit time, interact to produce decreased absorption of nutrients; 3) increased catabolic losses-under the influence of the inflammatory process, diarrhoea of

Abstract:

Ibuprofen, along with paracetamol, is the drug of choice for lowering fever and pain relief in children; it is a drug sold without a prescription in most countries of the world, in particular in Ukraine, and can be taken by patients at home without prior doctor's examination. It is clear that such an application implies significant advantages over potential risks. In particular, an important condition for «home» use of drugs is the speed of action, the absence of severe side effects, low toxicity, good compatibility with other drugs and a wide therapeutic applicability. Ibuprofen meets these b

PURPOSE: Oncology care reimbursement has been shifting from a traditional fee-for-service model to either 1- or 2-sided risk models during the past 5 years. A major expense associated with the total cost of care is hospitalization cost. The study set out to investigate whether the creation of an Advanced Community Care Model (ACCM) of home health care would affect 60-day hospitalization and 30-rehospitalization rates in a community oncology setting. METHODS: In conjunction with a single home health care organization, an ACCM was modified for oncology care to include intervention protocols to a

Abstract Introduction: Fever and neutropenia (FN) is a major side effect of chemotherapy in pediatric oncology patients and can result in hospitalization, morbidity, or mortality. Cancer patients are at increased risk for bacteremia due to immunosuppression and their central venous catheters (CVC). Guidelines for the management of FN exist and inpatient admission with empiric parenteral antibiotics for high risk children with severe neutropenia (Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC) ≤ 500/µl) is often the standard of care. However, the management of mildly neutropenic or non-neutropenic patients is
