“…In the early years of program initiation, married women of reproductive age were selected as FCHVs and assigned to promote and distribute the birth-spacing commodities such as condoms and pills, with the sole purpose of supporting family planning program in Nepal. After almost three decades, these health volunteers have become an indispensable part of community-based health programs in Nepal ( 1 , 2 ). Currently, over 52,000 FCHVs are actively working—roughly one in 500 people or at least one in each ward of Village Development Committee, the smallest local administrative body, as non-paid community health cadres ( 3 ).…”

Nepal’s Female Community Health Volunteers (FCHVs) program started in 1988. In the early years of program initiation, FCHVs were assigned to promote and distribute the family planning commodities such as condoms and pills. Over past three decades, FCHVs’ roles have gradually expanded beyond family planning program and especially are focused on maternal and child health services at a large scale. FCHVs are an integral part of many community-based health programs, and their roles are instrumental in linking families and communities to community health workers and periphery-level health facilities. However, the fragmented nature of health programs poses a challenge for these health volunteers to coordinate activities and deliver the results. This perspective aims to review their contribution, challenges and recommend an integrated FCHV program model to support in the implementation of the community-based health interventions effectively.

“…Their exact origin is not yet known (Gurung et al . ) and three hypotheses have been proposed: leiomyoma arises from the smooth muscle wall of blood vessels or from multipotential mesenchymal cells (Vincenzi et al . ) or from both (Horie et al .…”

“…In humans, leiomyomas do not metastasise but may be locally expansive (Mathes et al 2015). These tumours carry a good prognosis and only a few cases of recurrence after complete excision have been described (Gurung et al 2009). Complete surgical excision was possible in the present case due to the location, extent and nature of the mass.…”

“…To our knowledge, this is the first report of leiomyoma within the nasal cavity of a dog. Only 26 cases of nasal leiomyoma have been reported in humans (Gurung et al 2009) in which it has been reported most frequently in the right side of the nasal cavity (Tsobanidou 2006). Human patients with nasal leiomyoma typically present with signs consistent with nasal obstruction.…”

A 7-year-old, 34-kg, neutered male Labrador retriever was presented with a 1-year history of intermittent sneezing with occasional left-sided epistaxis. CT revealed a mass in the left nasal cavity. Histopathological analysis of rhinoscopy-guided tissue biopsies was consistent with chronic necrotic and ulcerative rhinitis. Surgical debridement by ventral rhinotomy was subsequently performed and histopathological diagnosis was leiomyoma. Complete resolution of the nasal discharge and reduced sneezing frequency were observed after surgery. Fourteen months postoperatively, CT detected no regrowth of the mass.

“…The Nepali state, political parties and ethnic organisation alike produce colourful 'mosaic maps' that illustrate the concentration of ethnic and religious groups within the naturalised borders of the Nepali territory. 101 Also in everyday conversation, people quickly jump at the opportunity to engage in lengthy discussions about the population numbers and relative distribution of 'ethnic' groups. Sure, the overtly essential notions of 'ethnicity' that such mapping relies on would bring nervous twitches to even moderately constructionist students of anthropology.…”

Textbook difference: Spatial history and national education in Panchayat and present-day Nepal

This article examines the transformation of the diverse imperial landscape of the Gorkha Kingdom into the more uniform and integrated space of the Nepali nation. It argues that nationalised schooling, as it was introduced under Panchayat rule , was central to the production of national space. However, it also highlights how this schooling concomitantly extended a language of 'anthropological' and 'ecological' difference with which to organise and negotiate this space. Below the textbook surface of unity-in-diversity, remnants of imperial caste and racial hierarchies remained. And, along with novel notions of national development, new hierarchies were introduced that separated developed centres from remote and backward peripheries. Through its engagement with Nepali history, the article thus contributes to our understanding of the continued interaction between the production of national space and historical developments in governmental differentiation. Approaching 'spatial history' as a combined emphasis on the history of spatial production and the spatial productivity of historical representation, it highlights the contingencies of national connections between time and space. In conclusion, the article suggests how the languages of difference built up across Panchayat and present-day schooling continue to shape contemporary re-imaginings of national space, in the midst of political uncertainties.
