“…Based on the present study findings, it can be concluded that: more than two thirds of the sample in age group (20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29), more than one fifth of the sample had complications during last pregnancy, three quarters of the sample had no complications during last delivery, majority of the sample had no maternal medical problems, one third of the sample had no maternal (obstetric) risk factors while about more than one third of the sample had anemia during pregnancy, the rate of high risk pregnancy in the present study was more than two thirds of the study subject . The study approved that there are significant difference among weeks of gestation and anthropometric measurements (weight) p value= 0.021 & sociodemographic data and current of antenatal care p value= 0.001.…”

Antenatal care ANC plays an important role in ensuring a healthy mother & baby during pregnancy and after delivery. Aims of the study to assess the prevalence of low and high risk pregnant women at Kolta's Maternal and Child Health Center (MCHC), Medical and Obstetrical (Maternal& fetal) risk factors among pregnant women at the same center. Subjects and methods descriptive research design was utilized in the present study, convenient sample was used among all prospective pregnant women who attended the Kolta's MCHC, sample size was 346 women, statistical record was from data base records of Kolta′ s MCHC to gain the actual prevalence of low & high risk pregnant women, structured interviewing questionnaire which developed by the investigator and included: Sociodemographic data, Obstetrical history, initial assessment, data related to high risk pregnancy, scoring system of high risk pregnancy. The study results revealed that 67.9 % were in the of age group 20-29 years old, 52% were living in rural areas, 71% were multigravidae, 23.6% had complications during last pregnancy, 86.2% had no medical history, 41.9% had anemia during pregnancy, 69.7% were high risk pregnancy, there are significant difference between weeks of gestation and anthropometric measurement P value =0.021 and significant difference between sociodemographic data and current antenatal care P value= 0.001 Conclusion study concluded more than one third of the sample had anemia, the rate of high risk in the study was more than two thirds of the sample . Therefore, it is recommended to increasing pregnant women's awareness about ANC and risk factors during pregnancy, continuing Educational Nursing Programmes to access the high quality of care, new studies should be established.

“…The 22km stretch when the river traverses in Delhi from Wazirabad barrage to the Okhla barrage. is barely 2% of its catchment area, but it contributes about 80% of the river's total pollution load (Rawat et al, 2003;Upadhyay et al, 2011). The Delhi stretch of the river Yamuna receives waste from a variety of sources like domestic, industrial, and agriculture through 22 drains mostly falling on the western bank (WB).…”

In this study, the fractionation and ecotoxic potential of Cr, Ni, Cu and Pb in water and sediments of the river Yamuna (Delhi stretch) is presented. The river water is used for various purposes such as irrigation, industrial, domestic and drinking. The investigations suggest that the availability of metals in water follows the sequence Ni>Cr>Pb>Cu whereas a different pattern (Pb>Cu>Ni>Cr) is observed in sediments. Statistically significant spatial variations are indicated by two-way ANOVA in different geochemical forms of the metals and physicochemical parameters of water and sediments of the river Yamuna. Principal component analysis (PCA) suggests a similar source for all four metals probably from the sewage from municipal drains. PCA also indicates some independent sources of Cu and Pb. The hot spots were identified using hierarchical cluster analysis considering bioavailable forms of the metals in water and sediments as objects and the sampling sites as variables. Risk assessment code analysis indicates that metals generally pose medium to high risk at different sites. However, at a few locations either Ni or Pb cross the level of very high ecological risk.

“…of India to rejuvenate the river Yamuna. Owing to this, several studies have been carried out to evaluate the water quality of river Yamuna (Dubey, 2016;Chopra et al, 2014;Upadhyay et al, 2011;Kansal, 2011 andMandal et al, 2009) In this backdrop, the objective of present study was to assess the pollution status of river Yamuna after it enters the National Capital Territory, Delhi. The prime objective was seasonal assessment of the physicochemical parameters of water to find out the pollution load.…”
