Background: Anaemia is one of the most frequently observed nutritional deficiency disease in the world today. Objective: to know the epidemiological profile of anaemia in working women.Study variables: grades of anaemia, type of work and socio economic status of the working women
Statistical analysis: Proportion, Chi square test.
Observations and discussion: High prevalence of anaemia was observed in women working in administrative section 23 (82.10%) followed by sweepers 75 (73.5%) and nurses 96 (68.5%). The difference was found to be statistically significant (x2=30.9, d.f =3, p=0.00000089). It was observed that anaemia was more prevalent in lower class (83.63%) as compared to upper class (53.33%).The difference was found to be statistically significant( x2 = 21.1, d.f.=2,p=0.0000262).
Recommendations: To conduct prophylactic programs for the prevention of anaemia and nutritional education in the community as a whole and working women to bring out behaviour change.

Objective: To assess the impact of socio demographic factors on reproductive health of married women of reproductive age group.Material and method: two hundred and twenty women of urban and one hundred and thirty two women of rural setting were taken as sample. Prior to study, consent of every participant was obtained. Data were collected in a preformed proforma.
Variables : Age, literacy status, occupation, religion/caste, type of family, per capita income, presence of indebtedness, type of housing and accesses to safe drinking water and toilet etc.
Observations : In urban area, RTI/STI were found to be more in age group of 15-24 yrs (59.2%), in illiterate women (69.8%), in working women(84%) and in women with joint families(66.1%) while in rural area RTI/STIs are found to be more in age group of 15-24 yrs (79.5%), in illiterate women (87%), in working women (71.9%) and in women with joint families (74.5%). No significant association was found between access to safe drinking water and toilet and RTI/STI in both urban and rural women.

On analysis of the collected data the authors reached to the conclusion that on the basis of urinary Urea/Creatinine ratio alone, nutritional grading of children would have been impossible. Thus Urea/Creatinine ratio can be used only in conjunction with the anthropometric and clinical methods, if used alone then utility is of questionable nature.Keywords

Immunization status of 555 children were studied in a slum, Out of 555 children 509 (91.4%) received B.C.G., 452 (84.2%) and 438 (81.6%) were immunized with all three doses of D.P.T. and O.P.V. respectively while only 318 (65.8%) received Measles Vaccine. Regarding drop out rate between 1st and 3rd dose of D.P.T. and O.P.V. were 14.04% and 3.5% respectively. On further analysis it has been observed that Rumors was most leading cause of Non or partial immunization. To combat rumors we have to intensify information, education and communication in the Community.Keywords

Back ground: The distress, pain and struggle through a difficult labour is neither well tolerated by patients nor appreciated by Obstetrician. So use of Caesarean Section to terminate painful and difficult labour has increased the incidence tremendously. Objective: the objective was to study the determinants of Caesarian Section among mothers under gone the procedure. Material and Methods: The mothers under gone Caesarean Section in a medical college hospital. Study variables included mother's age, weight, Gravida, Gestational age, Basal pulse rate , Mean arterial pressure in mm. Hg., prity, history of previous Caesarean Section in earlier delivery. Statistical Analysis: The results were expressed in terms of mean ± SEM and proportion as and when required. Observations: Highest percentage of caesarean section has the previous history of the procedure in earlier delivery which was in accordance of the adage "once a caesarean always a caesarean". Vertex was the commonest presentation (81.11 %).Conclusion: The mothers who are at risk for Caesarean should be identified and high quality ante natal care should be given in order to minimize the complications of the procedure. As an unnecessary surgery is jeopardizing women's health, hence before recommending the procedure, all alternative method must be explored.Keywords

Background: Breech presentation is always at a greater risk than Cephalic presentation with respect to perinatal morbidity and perinatal mortality. Research Question : effects of Caesarean section and vaginal delivery on perinatal and maternal mortality and morbidity in breech presentation? Material and Methods: One hundred cases with breech presentation that have undergone delivery (Caesarean / Vaginal) were included in the study. Study Design: Analytic study. Setting: Hospital based. Study Variables: birth weight, mode of delivery, Apgar score. Statistical Analysis: Chi-square test, simple proportion. Results: All babies with Apgar score less than 5 died .Only 5 babies with Apgar score between 5-7 died .100 % of the babies with Apgar score more than 7 were alive at the end of first post natal week. There were higher percentages of babies with low Apgar scores in vaginal delivery as compared to C-section babies. Perinatal mortality rate for C-section was 2.18 % in comparison to their counterparts, 39.62 % in vaginal delivery. These results were highly significant. Of the total 22 perinatal deaths, 18 were premature constituting 81.18%. There was no maternal mortality. In the present study there was 14.9%maternal morbidity associated with C-section as compared to 7.5 %with vaginal delivery. Conclusion: Thus prematurity was the most important factor towards perinatal mortality in breech presentation. This shows that the breech baby is likely to be benefited by Csection and morbidity from trauma and asphyxia can be reduced by the mere liberal use of C-section in selected cases. The authors recommended Csection for all breech presentation with expected birth weight above 3000 g.Keywords

Background: Since long discrimination among the children on account of sex is being practiced. There are the reports of aborting female fetus by indentifying sex and even killing new born female child in some communities. Midwife's tip is less than the new born is a girls rather than boy.
Objective: Is there any discrimination of children on account of sex in urban slums?
Material and Methods: The study was carried out in an urban slum. 248 (123 male and 125 female) children belong to one to three years of age were included in the study. All sampled children were weighed and then graded as per their age as suggested by Stuart and Stevenson.
Statically analysis: Simple Proportion.
Results: There were only 10.40 % female children of normal grade in comparison to their 12.19% male counterparts.
Conclusion: Education will help in bringing about a change in mind-set of people by eradicating lack of awareness, gender bias and low access to government facilities which ultimately help in uplifting the living standard of people at the base of pyramid.

Back Ground: Social factors have a far reaching impact on health and disease of the community and its members. Matters like nutrition, child rearing and bearing practices, personal hygiene, seeking timely medical aid, utilization of govt. health facilities, gender bias, standard of sanitation etc. are some of the examples where their influence can be easily seen or felt.
Objective: What are various social determents which have an impact on the health of community?
Participants: Adult residents of both sexes belonging to all religion of an urban slum.
Variables: Lack of awareness, Religion, Nutrition, Tradition and culture, Lack of motivation, Obstacles and Miscellaneous.
Material and Methods: In this study, a broad approach "situational analysis" of operational research was used by interviewing the sampled population. The most appropriate answer was considered for interpretation of results.
Observations and Discussions: Non scientific ,undesirable ,age old ,deep ischolar_mained ,traditions believes and culture because of lack of awareness were found responsible for this sorry state of affairs of health of the community. For combating the unearthed reasons there is an urgent need to bring about change in knowledge, attitude and practices of the people through applying the technique of de-education and re-education. For this, a wise use of media mix i.e. modern and traditional media will yield positive results. Educating women is a tested solution for the treatment of all the ills of society, hence no stone left unturned to achieve this noble task of educating the women
