Regarding severity of the problem, the disability problem in CWDs was mild in 36.06%, severe in 32.78%, moderate in 22.95% and profound in 8.19%. Besides disability, out of 61 CWDs, 51 had major health problems such as epilepsy (34.4%), fever (16.4%), pneumonia (3.3%), diarrhoea (1.6%) and others (27.9%). The other health related problems were tooth decay, uncontrolled urination, chest pain, heart disease, constipation, bladder stone, and weight loss. Loss of appetite, difficulty in swallowing, drooling, ear problem, wounds and rough skin of legs, allergy with brightness and shivering of legs. Due to severe bed sore, one 16 year child with multiple disability died. Thus the case fatality rate of CWDs visiting Patan CBRO during the study period was 1.63%. The study revealed that the age group 7-12 years in both sexes have highest incidence of health problem i.e., 66.66% in male and 76.92% in female. The study revealed that there was significant difference between food taking habit and its effect on nutrition of CWDs (χ2=2.93, P< 0.05, d.f.2). The activities of daily living (ADL) related to personal hygiene was maintained in maximum number of CWDs. However, some CWDs couldn’t maintained brushing teeth due to disability problem so, most of them had tooth decay problem. The questionnaire survey revealed that CWDs and their parents lack awareness regarding hand washing, water drinking, management of waste products and regular visiting of rehabilitation centre.Item Interaction between Traditional and Modern Health Care Practices: An Anthropological Study of Pregnancy and Delivery Care Practices in Yangnam of Panchthar District(Department of Anthropology, 2010) Subedi, TanujaNot AvailableItem Maternal and Child Health Care Practices in Dalit Community: A Case Study of Matatirtha VDC, Kathmandu(Department of Rural Development, 2011) Vaidya, Tejaswi NarayanAvailable with full textItem Maternal Health Care Situation in Nepal (A Case Study of Samundra Devi VDC, Nuwakot)(Department of Population Studies, 2007) Thapa, SaritaThis descriptive type of study has been carried out with the purpose of accessing the maternal health practices among reproductive age women who have child below 5 years of old.

A total of 939population of 166 household are in the sample of respondent.Among them 46.9 percent are male population and 53.1 percent population is female.The sex ratio is 88.2 (88.2males per 100 females) which is lower than national sex ratio of 99.8 in 2001. (CBS, 2003:61), the male and female dependency ratios are 109.0 and 111.0 respectively. The literacy rate found among themwith primary, secondary is 37.0, 17.8 percent and only 4 percentare S.L.C. above and most of the respondent are involved in agricultural occupation.

Linnaeus, 1758) In Three Temples of Pokhara Valley(Central Department of Zoology Institute of Science and Technology Tribhuvan University Kirtipur, Kathmandu, 2016) Gurung, AmritThe present study was conducted to determine the general prevalence, identification, compare area-wise as well as infection-wise prevalence and find out activities on health care of pigeon (Columba sp.) in three temples viz. Bhadrakali temple, Bindhyabasini temple and Tal Barahi temple of Pokhara valley. A total of 120 faecal samples were collected by opportunistic random faecal sampling method on 16, 17 and 19 March, 2016 A.D. Iodine wet mount and different concentration technique (floatation and sedimentation) were used for faecal qualitative tests and verbally administered questionnaires for interview whereas Microsoft Excel 2007 and “R”, version 3.3.1 software packages were used in analyzing data. Out of 120 faecal samples examined, 83 faecal samples were positive with 69.16% prevalence of parasitic infection. Total of seven GI parasites that includes one subclass of protozoan: Coccidia 23 (19.16%) and six genera of helminths: Capillaria sp. 38 (31.67%), Ascaridia sp. 26 (21.66%), Echinostoma sp. 9 (7.50%), Syangamus sp. 7 (5.83%), Hymenolepis sp. 4 (3.33%) and Hetarakis sp. 3 (2.50%) were identified and reported first time in Nepal. The prevalence rate of helminths 66 (55%) were higher than protozoan parasites 23 (19.16%). The higher prevalence of GI parasites was in Bhadrakali temple 31 (77.50%) followed by Tal Barahi temple 29 (72.50%) and the lowest was in Bindhyabasini temple 23 (57.50). Statistically, the difference in prevalence of GI parasitic infection among study area was found to be insignificant (χ²=0.76328, P>0.05) whereas the difference in prevalence of single infection 52 (43.83%) and mixed infections 31 (25.83%) were insignificant (χ²=3.4728, P>0.05). No any activities on health care of pigeon regarding the GI parasites were found. The study indicated that pigeons in three temples of Pokhara valley were highly susceptible to GI parasites. Therefore sustainable ways for controlling the parasitic infection and further studies need to be designed for the health and conservation of pigeons.Item Traditional healing practices among the Tharus (A case study of Kathar VDC of Chitwan District)(Department of Sociology, 2010) Acharya, Krishna KumarNot available
