Background and objective: Children have a higher risk of being exposed to medication errors and are more prone to harm due to reasons such as differences in their growth and development, and their physiological and psychological characteristics which are different from those of adults. The purpose of this study is to determine pediatric nurses’ attitudes towards reporting of medication errors and causes of not reporting of medication errors and to determine their views on the incidence of medication errors.Methods: The study was conducted in a Children’s Hospital in the province of Izmir, with the participation of 179 pediatric nurses. To collect the data, two forms were used in the study, socio-demographic questionnaire and Questionnaire for Medication Errors.Results: While 34.6% (n = 62) of the nurses thought that medication errors never happened in the clinics over the past year. While 94.4% (n = 169) of the participating nurses did not report any medication errors within the past year, 5.6% reported 1-2 times. The highest proportion (75.4%) (n = 135) of the nurses, the reason for not reporting medication errors was the fear of receiving legal punishment.Conclusions: Reporting medication errors is low level. In conclusion, the main reason for not reporting medication errors was the perception of receiving punishment. Implications for nursing and/or health policy: Education to nurses should be given at regular intervals and in small groups by using case samples. If the managers are to promote reporting, they should eliminate the perception of receiving punishment, and make necessary arrangements to develop non-accusatory culture aiming to learn from the results of reported errors.

Experimental study on the growth and development of saline and non-saline populations of Eclipta alba Hassk., planted on soils artificially salinized with water-soluble salts of sodium and a saturation extract of saline soil, revealed differences in their salt-adaptive capabilities. The relatively higher salt-adaptive capability of the saline population both at germination and subsequent stages of growth indicated ecophysiological differentiation within species due to salt stress.

INTRODUCTION: Health promotion of infancy is necessary for the optimum growth and development. Mother is significant person for the promotion of health of infant. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted to find out the awareness regarding health promotion of infants among 78 mothers in Bhim Hospital of Siddharthanagar Municipality by using purposive sampling technique. Semi- structured interview schedule was used to collect data and analyzed by using descriptive and inferential statistics with SPSS version 20. RESULTS: The study findings revealed that 51.3% of the respondents have low level of awareness regarding health promotion of an infant. There was statistically significant association between respondents’ level of awareness with occupation and respondents’ husband’s age. CONCLUSION: The study concluded that more than half of the mothers have low level of the awareness regarding health promotion of the infant. Mothers’ occupation and husbands’ age are the influencing factors on mothers' knowledge regarding health promotion of infant.

The objective was to quantify the effect of the timing of macronutrient applications on nutrient uptake, growth, and development of Petunia ×hybrida Hort. Vilm.-Andr. ‘Supertunia Royal Velvet’ during vegetative propagation. Starting with unrooted cuttings (Day 0), fertigation was applied continuously at three time intervals (Day 0 to 7, Day 8 to 14, or Day 15 to 21) using either a “complete” (C) water-soluble fertilizer containing (in mg·L−1) 75 NO3-N, 25 NH4-N, 12 phosphorus (P), 83 potassium (K), 20 calcium (Ca), 10 magnesium (Mg), 1.4 sulfur (S), 2 iron (Fe), 1 manganese (Mn), 1 zinc (Zn), 0.5 copper (Cu), 0.5 boron (B), and 0.2 molybdenum (Mo) or a micronutrient fertilizer (M) containing (in mg·L−1) 1.4 S, 2 Fe, 1 Mn, 1 Zn, 0.5 Cu, 0.5 B, and 0.2 Mo in a complete factorial arrangement. With constant fertigation using the C fertilizer, plant dry weight (DW) doubled from Day 0 (sticking of unrooted cuttings) to Day 7 (0.020 g to 0.047 g), root emergence was observed by Day 4, and by Day 7, the average length of primary roots was 2.6 cm. During any week that the M fertilizer was substituted for the C fertilizer, tissue N–P–K concentrations decreased compared with plants receiving the C fertilizer. For example, plants receiving the M fertilizer between Day 0 and 7 had 20% lower tissue-N concentration at Day 7 compared with those receiving the C fertilizer. Although both shoot DW and leaf count increased once macronutrient fertilization was resumed after Day 7, final shoot DW and leaf count were lower than plants receiving C fertilizer from Day 0 to 21. Time to first root emergence was unaffected by fertigation. Constant application of C resulted in a higher shoot-to-root ratio at Day 21 than all other treatments. Results emphasize the importance of early fertigation on petunia, a fast-rooting species, to maintain tissue nutrient levels within recommended ranges.

In temperate grasses, fructans are the major storage polysaccharides, being accumulated mainly in mature leaf sheaths, and also in the roots. The partitioning of carbohydrates within different organs regulates plant growth and development. The aim of the present work was to analyze the partitioning of water soluble carbohydrates in five different parts (elongating leaf blades, expanded leaf blades, upper and lower segments of the stubble, and roots) of plants of L. multiflorum cv. Lema, in order to contribute to an understanding of soluble carbohydrates distribution in these plants. Soluble carbohydrates and total fructose were analyzed in plants cultivated during 4 months in a glasshouse, by colorimetric, TLC and HPAEC-PAD techniques. Results showed that the greatest portion of total soluble carbohydrates was constituted of free and combined fructose, in all parts of the plants. The stubble contained the highest level of carbohydrates, followed by the elongating leaf blades, expanded leaf blades and roots. The leaf sheaths were not analyzed separately from the stubble, which explains the high levels of carbohydrates found in this part of the plant. The high metabolism of the elongating leaf blades, when compared to that of the expanded leaf blades, could explain the increased amounts of fructans stored in those tissues. Analysis by HPAEC-PAD showed that the elongating leaf blades and the roots had the highest proportions of low molecular weight fructans that could be readily mobilized, supplying the demand of growing tissues in other organs.

Low-level chemiluminescence was measured in isolated perfused rat lungs subjected to different types of oxidative stress: perfusion with tert-butyl hydroperoxide (t-BOOH) or stimulation of polymorphonuclear cells (PMN). The time required for t-BOOH-dependent lung chemiluminescence to return to background levels was proportional to the concentration of t-BOOH. From the half times of the decay at different t-BOOH concentrations, we estimated that the lungs metabolize organic peroxides at a rate of 0.045 mM/min. Use of a high dose of t-BOOH (3 mM)or pretreatment of lungs with 1,3-bis(2-chloroethyl)-nitrosourea (100 micrograms/ml) to inhibit glutathione reductase produced chemiluminescence that was much greater and did not decay. Stimulation of 5 x 10(7) PMN with 1 micrograms of phorbol myristate acetate resulted in significant increases in chemiluminescence that occurred in the absence of a significant lung weight gain or measurable lipid peroxidation. Perfusion of isolated lungs with superoxide dismutase (100 U/ml) completely inhibited the chemiluminescence response to PMN activation, whereas treatment with 100 microM U-74389F, a lipid-soluble antioxidant, also significantly decreased PMN-dependent chemiluminescence. Neither catalase (2,000 U/ml) nor 100 microM U-78518F, a water-soluble antioxidant, decreased chemiluminescence after PMN activation. These results indicate that low-level chemiluminescence is a sensitive indicator of oxidative stress in the isolated perfused rat lung and provides a tool for devising and characterizing the effectiveness of antioxidant interventions.
