Aim: to assess the effectiveness of amla juice with honey on hemoglobin levels among B.Sc nursing students with anemia at selected nursing colleges, Dindigul. Pre experimental research design with one group pretest and posttest design was used for this study. Samples were selected by using purposive sampling technique. The investigator assessed the pretest levels of hemoglobin by using sahli’s method. Then from next day, 100ml of amla juice with 10 ml of honey was administered to the same samples daily in the morning before breakfast under the supervision of the researcher for a period of 15 days. On 18th day, the investigator assessed the posttest levels of hemoglobin by using the sahli’s method. Finally, the statistical analysis the mean score of pretest 8.31 and posttest 9.52 and paired‘t’ test proved that the 25.910‘t’ value (table value is 1.96) had a significant difference between the pretest and posttest levels of hemoglobin among B.Sc Nursing students with anemia at 0.05 level of significance. The study finding showed that the Amla juice with honey was effective for the B.Sc Nursing students with anemia. Keywords: Amla Juice with Honey, Hemoglobin, Anemia.

The study collected data using a structured questionnaire, data collected was analysed using mean and standard deviation to answer the research questions while the z-Test was used to test the null hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. The result revealed that facilities were available, adequate and functional at Farming Skills Acquisition Centers, time allocated for training and training duration were adequate, objectives of Farming Skills Acquisition Programme were being achieved and graduates of FSAP established and engaged in agricultural businesses. Z-Test analysis showed no significant difference between the mean responses of trainees and trainers on availability of facilities for the operation of FSAP, adequacy of training duration and graduates rate of establishing and engaging in agricultural businesses. However, the z-Test showed a significant difference between the mean responses of trainers and trainees on the extent of achievement of the objectives of FSAP. The study recommended that Government and non-governmental organizations should cooperate with the farming skills acquisition centres in the area of skill training and manpower development; farming skills acquisition programme should be adopted and implemented by other states in Nigeria to reduce the rate of unemployment and government should make nonfunctional FSACs to be functional through renovation and funding.

Background Acupressure is an ancient healing art that uses fingers to press key points on the surface of the skin to stimulate body’s natural self-curative abilities. When these points are pressed, they release muscular tension and promote the circulation of blood and body’s life force to aid healing. It has been reported that dysmenorrhoea can be successfully relieved by acupressure at Qihai (CV6), Guanyuan (CV4), Taichong (LIV3), Xuehai(SP10), Sanyinjiao (SP6). The sanyinjio acupoint is commonly used to induce labour and relieve pain during dysmenorrhoea. Dysmenorrhoea is a common problem among girls and acupressure is an effective non-invasive procedure to relieve pain. Acupoint Sanyinjiao (SP6) was selected for the study because it is the acupoint of choice in gynaecology and easy for girls to locate and apply pressure to without medical assistance. The aim of the study was to assess the effectiveness of acupressure in reducing dysmenorrhoea among nursing students. Materials and Method A quasi experimental time series non-equivalent control group time series design was used for the present study. Forty nursing students who met the inclusion criteria was selected by using purposive sampling technique. Baseline proforma and numeric pain scale was used to assess the level of pain. Data analysis was done by using descriptive and inferential statistics such as frequency, range, mean, median, standard deviation, uppaired “t” tet and ANOVA for repeated measures. Result There was significant difference in pain between the two group soon after, after 30 minutes and after 1 hour. The mean score of dysmenorrhoea among students before acupressure (7.95) was higher than immediately after the intervention (6.35). After 30 minutes the mean score was 4.25 and after 1 hour the mean score was (1.25). The computed value of ANOVA (F= 344.881) was found to be significant (p<0.05) in reducing dysmenorrhoea. Unpaired‘t’ test was done comparing the experimental and control group at different time series was higher than the table value (t38 = 1.69) at p< 0.05 level of significant, hence research hypothesis was accepted i.e. acupressure was effective in reducing dysmenorrhoea.

Abstract Objectives The objective of this study was to compare a bioceramic and a resin-based endodontic sealer with regard to extrusion and postoperative pain. Materials and Methods Sixty-four patients requiring endodontic treatment of single-rooted maxillary teeth with necrotic pulps were included in this study. The root canal treatments were performed in a single visit using a size 40.06 single-file reciprocating system under 2.5% NaOCl irrigation. After irrigation with 17% ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) and 2.5% NaOCl, the canals were dried and randomly divided into two different groups (n = 32) depending on the sealer used: resin-based group (RG) in which the canals were filled with the AH Plus, and the bioceramic group (BG) in which the canals were filled with the Sealer Plus BC. Ibuprofen (600 mg) was prescribed every 6 hours if the volunteers experienced pain. The patients registered their pain sensation in a visual analog scale (VAS) card, ranging from 0 to 10 at 24-hour, 48-hour, 72-hour, and 1-week intervals. Statistical analysis  For statistical analysis, the level of significance was set at p < 0.05. Results Sealer extrusion occurred in nine patients of the RG and in 19 patients of the BG (p < 0.05). The average pain level at 24-hour and 48-hour intervals was, respectively, 1.46 ± 1.96 and 0.44 ± 0.86 for RG, and 1.21 ± 2.09 and 0.09 ± 0.38 for BG. There was no report of pain after 48 hours. The mean number of tablets taken for pain relief was 0.03 ± 0.17 for RG and 0.06 ± 0.24 for BG. No statistically significant difference was found with regard to pain level and intake of pain killer tablets (p > 0.05). Conclusions The BG sealer presented significantly more extrusion than the RG sealer. Sealer extrusion was not associated with pain. The average pain level and the mean number of tablets taken for pain relief were similar in both groups.
