Background: Schools are crucial platforms for comprehensive health protection and promotion. It is important for the health authorities to assess the importance of schools in establishing school health policies and its successful implementation.The existing study was carried out to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and practices about school health services in school teachers from urban and rural areas. Material and Methods: A Cross sectional study was executed on 700 secondary school teachers in urban and rural areas of Sangali District of Maharashtra. A self-administered, pilot-tested questionnaire was formulated including KAP related questions about health services. It was distributed to teachers and responses were gathered. The data analysis was done by using SPSS Version 22 Software. Results: The mean percentage knowledge score of the rural school participants was 60.42% which was nearly similar to that of the urban school teachers (60.64%). P <0.05delineates that; there was a significant difference in the median knowledge score of these two groups. Conclusions: The majority of the school teachers had satisfactory knowledge, attitudes and practices about health services. However, there is need for frequent training of teachers in similar aspects to promote positive health of students, families and communities.
Background: Radial neck fracture among children is very common. If fractures not treated early it further leads to malunion. Number of times such malunion are irreversible and may lead to disability for lifetime. The most important set of problems that can happen in this fracture involves the blood supply to the radial head. The radial head is supplied by periosteal vessels in the neck. As a result, any trauma to the proximal end of the radius (with or without a fracture) will produce an aseptic necrosis of the radial neck and head of varying severity. This can precipitate a slight shortening of the proximal end of the radius with a propensity toward slight valgus deviation of the elbow axis. However, the concurrent widening and thickening of the radial head and neck are more significant; in extreme cases, this can restrict pronation and supination. One of the recent advances in treatment of distal radius fractures is the more frequent application of open reduction and internal fixation, especially for intra-articular fractures and other one is treated with treated with closed reduction internal fixation with intramedullary nailing.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
