Knowledge and attitude regarding the COVID-19 pandemic among undergraduate health science students of Nepal: An online survey
No full textObjectives: This study aims to assess health science students’ knowledge and attitude about COVID-19 epidemiology, management, and prevention; and the association of knowledge and attitude with various sociodemographic characteristics. Methods: An online survey was done among 524 undergraduate health science students using a pre-tested questionnaire across 19 health science institutions in Nepal from 30 June to 11 August 2021. All subjects were enrolled in the study after informed consent. Outcomes were Knowledge level, attitude level, and predictors of knowledge level and attitude level. Bivariate analysis was done to determine the association between variables. Results: Of 524 students, 42.9% were male, and 57.1% were female. More than half (54.6%) and the majority (85.1%) participants had good knowledge and attitude, respectively. Approximately three-fifths (59.4%) of the participants were from the B. P. Koirala Institute of Health Sciences (BPKIHS). Students in BPKIHS (odds ratio = 1.774; 95% confidence interval = 1.243–2.533), junior years (odds ratio = 8.892; 95% confidence interval = 5.814–13.599), age less than 23 years (odds ratio = 2.985; 95% confidence interval = 2.089–4.266) were more likely to have good knowledge. Students under 23 years (odds ratio = 24.160; 95% confidence interval: 9.570–60.992) and those in junior years (odds ratio = 4.460; 95% confidence interval = 3.753–5.300) were likely to have a good attitude level. Students in BPKIHS (odds ratio = 0.443; 95% confidence interval = 0.272–0.722) were less likely to have a good attitude. Conclusions: Overall, health science students had adequate knowledge and a good attitude regarding COVID-19. However, students lacked knowledge regarding infectiousness, transmission, post-vaccination observation period, remdesivir use, convalescent plasma therapy, and awake-prone positioning. Knowledge and attitude scores were associated with age, stream, and study institution
Osler‐Weber‐Rendu syndrome: A case report on a rare vascular malformation presented with lower gastrointestinal bleeding
No full textAbstract Osler‐Weber‐Rendu syndrome is an uncommon vascular disorder inherited as an autosomal dominant trait with varying penetrance and expression. A multidisciplinary approach is used for a detailed diagnostic workup and management based on the patient's symptoms at presentation
Spatial evolution of magnetic reconnection diffusion region structures with distance from the X-line
No full textWe report Magnetospheric Multiscale four-spacecraft observations of a thin reconnecting current sheet with weakly asymmetric inflow conditions and a guide field of approximately twice the reconnecting magnetic field. The event was observed at the interface of interlinked magnetic field lines at the flank magnetopause when the maximum spacecraft separation was 370 km and the spacecraft covered & SIM;1.7 ion inertial lengths (d(i)) in the reconnection outflow direction. The ion-scale spacecraft separation made it possible to observe the transition from electron-only super ion-Alfvenic outflow near the electron diffusion region (EDR) to the emergence of sub-Alfvenic ion outflow in the ion diffusion region (IDR). The EDR to IDR evolution over a distance less than 2 d(i) also shows the transition from a near-linear reconnecting magnetic field reversal to a more bifurcated current sheet as well as significant decreases in the parallel electric field and dissipation. Both the ion and electron heating in this diffusion region event were similar to the previously reported heating in the far downstream exhausts. The dimensionless reconnection rate, obtained four different ways, was in the range of 0.13-0.27. This event reveals the rapid spatial evolution of the plasma and electromagnetic fields through the EDR to IDR transition region.& nbsp;(C) 2021 Author(s).
