The purpose of the paper is to study and compare the Multiple Intelligences of girls and boys studying in VII and IX grades. The nature of study was descriptive. Two stage sampling was used to select sample. The sample of the study constitutes 4577 students in which 2010 were from grade VII and 2567 students from grade IX. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was used to find the significant difference in the multiple Intelligences of students with respect to grades. The findings shows that there is a significant difference in the multiple Intelligences of grade VII and IX students. The mean scores indicate that IX grade students were found to be high on Bodily Kinesthetic, Interpersonal, Intrapersonal, Musical, Naturalistic and Existential Intelligence than VII grade students. The inter-correlation between different types of Intelligence was calculated with respect to grades. It was found that the coefficient of correlation between different types of Multiple Intelligences were high in case of grade VII students in comparison to grade IX students. Profile Analysis was used to derive an inference about the level of multiple intelligences of students with respect to grades. The findings showed that IX grade students i.e. girls and boys were found to be high on all types of Intelligences than VII grade students i.e. girls and boys. Suggestions and implication of the study were discussed.

BACKGROUND An ideal surgery to remove hypertrophied adenoid mass should be safe, with less bleeding and operation time along with post-operative improvement in the eustachian tubal ventilation and normal respiration. It should also have low morbidity and mortality. Among the various methods described for its removal, the two commonly used methods are conventional cold curettage method and coblation technique. The purpose of this study was to collate the safety and efficacy of endoscopic coblation adenoidectomy with the conventional curettage adenoidectomy. METHODS A prospective comparative study with fifty patients was studied who underwent adenoidectomy. Twenty five patients underwent endoscopy assisted coblation adenoidectomy and twenty five patients underwent regular adenoidectomy by curettage. RESULTS Patients who underwent coblation adenoidectomy showed better results during follow up in terms of completeness of removal. 80 % of children undergoing regular adenoidectomy by curettage method showed remnant adenoid tissue in the nasopharynx at the end of the procedure. But it was 6 % among the children undergoing endoscopic assisted coblation adenoidectomy. The mean duration of operation was higher for endoscopic assisted coblation adenoidectomy which was significant statistically. The mean blood loss was 30.36 ml in regular curettage adenoidectomy; 10.6 ml with endoscopic coblation adenoidectomy. The grading of pain was significantly lower in endoscopic assisted coblation adenoidectomy. There was no significant difference between two groups in terms of eustachian tube function after surgery. CONCLUSIONS Coblation adenoidectomy has significant advantages over conventional adenoidectomy in terms of completeness of removal, reduced blood loss, and lower post-operative pain grade.

Abstract A comparative study on the nursery culture of the spat of the tropical oyster, Crassostrea iredalei, in an earthen pond and a mangrove canal was conducted over two months. The results revealed no differences in the absolute growth rate determined by shell width between the two culture sites (P < 0.05). Sub-adult oysters cultured in the mangrove canal showed a higher absolute growth rate in shell length and a higher daily growth rate than the oysters cultured in the earthen pond (P < 0.05). The mean survival rate of sub-adult oysters cultured in the earthen pond (99.8 ± 0.2%) was significantly higher than for those cultured in the mangrove canal (66.7 ± 31.4%). Decreased density from the loss of sub-adult oyster nursery culture in the mangrove canal led to higher growth performance than in the earthen pond. However, no difference was found for the fraction of oysters larger or smaller than 5 cm for the two culture sites (P < 0.05). A significant difference was noted in the Condition Index (CI) between the two culture sites (P < 0.05). The high primary productivity in mangroves is a major supporter of higher CI in sub-adult oysters cultured in mangrove canals versus in earthen ponds. Water exchange in the earthen pond to maintain calcium and magnesium concentrations resulted in no differences in the shell compressibility of sub-adult oysters compared with those cultured in the mangrove canal.

Different Types

The Purdue Pegboard and Moving Beans with Tweezers test have been used in the rehabilitation of persons with nervous system disorders; however, these two tests differ in their methodology. In the latter test, the testee picks up items with chopsticks or tweezers, but in the former test, the testee grasps items directly with the fingers of one hand. Use experience of a tool may strongly influence performance. The present study examined the use of chopsticks in daily life on performance of the two tests of finger dexterity by two groups of 20 youths who habitually used chopsticks to eat and 20 who did not. Three 30-sec. trials with the dominant and nondominant hands were given. Analysis of variance gave a main effect for number of beans moved between the two groups, hand (nondominant vs dominant), and trials. Significantly more beans were moved by the group with prior chopsticks use than the nonusers by the dominant hand than the nondominant hand, and on Trials 2 and 3 than Trial 1. For the Purdue Pegboard, the only significant difference for trials showed fewer pegs moved on Trial 1 than Trial 3. In conclusion, the groups who habitually used chopsticks performed better on the Moving Beans with Tweezers test than the group without such experience. Also, the marked laterality and practice effects for chopstick users was not observed on the Purdue Pegboard.

Background: Early alimentation after caesarean delivery probably has limited clinical significance in terms of improved energy and protein intake. Decreasing the post-operative ileus is possible with early feeding. Objective of this study was to study efficacy of early postoperative feeding versus conventional feeding for patients undergoing caesarean section.Methods: Present study was hospital based comparative study carried out among 200 women who fulfilled the selection criteria. The cases were divided into 2 groups of 100 each by suitable random sampling technique. Group A included 100 cases who were given early feeding within 6 hours of caesarean delivery. Group B included 100 control who were given the feeding after 24 hours of caesarean delivery.Results: The mean duration of postoperative hospital stay in Group A and Group B was 4.59±0.65 and 4.81±0.81 days respectively (p <0.05). The mean time to return of bowel sounds in Group A and Group B was 2.79±1.36 and 3.55±1.49 hours respectively (p <0.01). 2(2%) cases in group A had postoperative ileus symptoms, whereas 3 (3%) cases in Group B had the same. Statistically significant difference (p <0.05) was seen in terms of vomiting 1% versus 17%, nausea 5% versus 16%, abdominal distention 2% versus 7%, diarrhea 4% versus 90% in the early feeding versus conventional feeding groups.Conclusions: It can be concluded from present study that fast return to the normal diet is possible with early feeding among women undergoing cesarean section compared to the conventional feeding among women undergoing cesarean section.

Background:  Umbilical cord infection (omphalitis) is a major cause of neonatal mortality and morbidity in a developing country like Nepal. Detached umbilical stump is an important colonizing site for different types of bacteria and it also provides direct access to bloodstream. Hence, inadequate cord care may lead to omphalitis as well as neonatal sepsis. Objectives: This study aims to compare two different cord care regimens (dry cord care versus chlorhexidine cord care) on their cord separation time and the incidence of omphalitis. Methodology: This is a comparative observational study conducted at the Neonatal unit of Kathmandu Medical College over a three months period (August 2019 to October 2019).  All newborn babies born between 37 to 42 weeks of gestation were enrolled. Randomization for dry cord care and chlorhexidine cord care group was done via computer generated numbers. Statistical package for social sciences 19 version was used for statistical analysis.   Results: Among 514 term babies, 256 babies were included in the dry cord care group while 258 babies were enrolled in the chlorhexidine cord care group. The two groups had similar baseline characteristics. The mean cord separation time in the dry cord care group was 7.70±1.2 days (range 3-15 days), whereas in the chlorhexidine group, it was 7.77±1.4 days (range 4-18 days).  Conclusion: There was no significant difference between the cord separation times in dry and chlorhexidine cord care regimens. Both dry cord care and chlorhexidine cord care regimens were found to be safe and effective.

The objective of the present study was to access the comparative study different variables between athletes and non athletes of Kashmir division. Physical fitness is a dynamic concept and is continuously growing in its importance to everyday life and health. Although being an attribute that has a genetic basis, it is also sensitive to changes in type and amount of physical activity, mortality and injury. The criterion measures selected for the study were, Explosive Leg strength, Speed, Agility, Resting pulse rate, Blood pressure (Systolic and dia-Systolic),Breath holding capacity. The Mean, Standard deviation and T value of Athletes and Non-Athletes was calculated. The results showed significant difference between Athletes and Non-Athletes (p<0.005) in case of Explosive Leg strength, Speed, Agility, Resting pulse rate and Blood pressure (Systolic), but no significant difference between Breathing capacity and Diastolic Blood pressure of Athletes and Non-Athletes was observed. It is therefore concluded that the athletes are at higher levels of their physical and physiological fitness levels which enhance their performance in sports and also in daily life activities.

Introduction: Tonsillectomy is frequently performed surgical procedure. There are several different methods with varied advantages and disadvantages. In spite of the different techniques available there is no consensus and definite evidence for best method. The most commonly performed are conventional dissection and bipolar electrocauterization methods. Aims: The aim of the study was to compare time required for the completion of surgery, intraoperative and postoperative blood loss along with post operative pain between conventional dissection and bipolar electrocauterization methods. Methods: This comparative study was conducted from August 2019 to March 2021 in total of 30 patients planned for tonsillectomy in department of Otorhinolaryngology, Nepalgunj Medical College Teaching Hospital.In every patient right side tonsillectomy was done with conventional dissection method and left side tonsillectomy was done with bipolar electrocauterization method. Results: The mean age was 27.2±13.08 years. The mean duration of surgery was 16.53 ± 2.43 min and 11.10 ± 1.93 min in conventional dissection method and bipolar electrocauterization method respectively. The difference was statistically significant. Intraoperative blood loss was significantly lower in bipolar electrocauterization method with mean intraoperative blood loss of 19 ±4.62 ml in bipolar electrocauterization group and 81.83 ±36.54 ml in conventional dissection method. The pain intensity was statistically similar in both methods at all-time intervals post operatively. Conclusion: In tonsillectomy, bipolar electrocauterization method has advantage over conventional dissection method in regards to reduced surgical time and intra operative blood loss, without any significant difference in post-operative pain intensity and post-operative hemorrhage.
