Introduction: Preterm birth is the most common causes of death among infants in worldwide. Prematurity causes the largest number of admissions to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). And appropriate nutrition is essential for the growth and development of preterm infants.
Objective: The aim of the study was to compare the physiological parameters and behavioural responses among mixed fed versus formula fed preterm babies admitted in AIMS, Kochi.
Method:A descriptive approach was taken, sample were selected by convenience sampling technique, data had been collected by semi structured questionnaires and used record sheet and FENTON Growth chart to assess the physiological parameters and behavioural responses of the preterm baby.
Results: Weight gain, length, head circumference in mixed fed preterm babies were highly significant compared to formula fed preterm babies. Body temperature was very highly significant between two groups. The heart rate and mean respiratory rates were progressively higher in formula fed preterm babies than mixed fed preterm babies. Blood pressure was very highly significant between two groups and was higher than formula fed preterm babies. In majority, the oxygen saturation level was decreased in formula fed preterm babies than mixed fed preterm babies. Sucking reflex was absent among 74.3% of formula fed preterm babies and it was statistically significant. Rooting reflex was also absent in 42.9% of formula fed preterm babies.
Conclusion: The study findings revealed that the mixed feeding is very effective and beneficial to gain weight, height, to maintain body temperature, heart rate, respiratory rate and oxygen saturation compared to formula feeding.

Introduction: Diabetes as one of Non-communicable diseases has consumed a large share of money, material, time and human resources of health systems. Now, due to advancement in lifestyle and industrial process, prevalence of diabetes and its associated complications have been raised. Among these complications, diabetic foot considered as a common complication of diabetes.
Method: The present study was a quantitative quasi experimental two group pretest posttest design. The study was done at Amrita Hospital, Kochi. The main objective of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of Burger Allen exercise on level of lower extremity perfusion among patients with type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Totally 100 samples were taken in which 50 are in experimental and 50 in control group using convenience sampling technique.
Results: In the present study, majority were males with the average age among experimental group were 55.30 +- 4.58, 36(72%) and 55.30+- 4.58, 34 (68%) in the control group. The study result showed that mean and standard deviation of ABPI score among both groups on Day 1 (0.07 ± 0.01), Day 2 (0.05 ± 0.02) and Day 3 (0.19 ± 0.01). There was statistical significance with the p value <0.01. There was also significant difference between the groups and within the groups in ABPI scores in 3 days among patients with type 2 DM which is significant at <0.05.
Conclusion: In the light of present study result, it depicted that the Buerger Allen exercise improve lower extremity perfusion among patient with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
