AIM To assess healthcare seeking trends among Pakistani children with acute respiratory infections through comparative analysis between demographic health surveys(DHS) 2006-2007 and 2012-2013. METHODS Data of the last born children 0-24 mo of age of the sampled households from both the DHS was analyzedafter seeking permission from the DHS open access website. These were children who had suffered from cough and/or breathing difficulty in the past two weeks and sought health care thereafter. The trends of health care seeking were determined separately for the individual, household and community level according to the study parameters. χ2 test was applied to compare these trends. A P-value of < 0.05 was considered significant. RESULTS Out of 2508 children in 2006-2007 there were 1590 with acute respiratory infections(ARI) according to case definition along with 2142 out of 3419 children in 2012-2013 DHS, whose data was analyzed. During 2006-2007, 69% cases sought healthcare for ARI which improved to 79% in 2012-2013. Additionally, it was revealed that when compared between 2006-2007 and 2012-2013, improvement in care seeking practices was observed among illiterate mothers(64% vs 77%) although there was minimal change in those literate. Similarly, those women working also showed an increase in healthcare seeking from 67% to 79%. Additionally, those belonging to low and middle socioeconomic class showed a marked increase as compared to those in the higher class where there was no significant change. Whereas those living in rural communities also showed an increase from 66% to 78%.CONCLUSION Increasing health budget, improving maternal education and strengthening multi-sectoral coordination are among the effective strategies to improve outcomes associated with healthcare seeking in ARI.

A Case History of Treatment of Cutaneous Leishmaniasis by Chromotherapy

引用

Chinese Medicine 2011年第2期2卷 43-46页

作者： samina T. Yousuf Azeemi Masoom Yasinzai Syed mohsin Raza Department of Physics University of Balochistan Quaid-e-Azam University

Cutaneous Leishmaniasis is endemic in many parts of the world. The disease in most of the cases appears in the form of the open ulcerated lesion on exposed part of the body. The pentavalent antimonial injections (20 mg/kg for 20 days) underneath the lesion for treatment are painful and most of the times unaffordable by the patients, mostly effected by this disease. As a result, most patients give-up early resulting in resistance. Due to high prevalence and the disease taking an epidemic form, there is a need to develop a new simple, cheap and yet an effective alternative treatment for cutaneous Leishmaniasis. Reported here is a case study aimed at alternative treatment regimen for cutaneous leishmaniasis. Here we present a case history of cutaneous leishmaniasis treated with chromotherapy. This seems to be an effective and new method of treatment only using visible range radiations of different wavelengths with no apparent side-effects. Six months follow up was observed and no recurrence was found.

Effects of different colours in the visible region on <i>Leishmania Tropica</i>

引用

Advances in Bioscience and Biotechnology 2011年第5期2卷 380-384页

作者： samina. T. Yousuf Azeemi S. mohsin Raza Masoom Yasinzai A. Samad Manzoor Iqbal Khattak 不详

The aim of this study was to investigate the wavelength-dependency of chromotherapy effects on cutaneous Leishmaniasis parasite growth. Chromotherapy uses visible range radiations to improve healing;however, its effects on parasite are not well understood. Leishmania Tropica was irradiated using seven (7) different wavelengths of visible region. Optical density was observed, which showed that red colour (644 nm) wavelength inhibited the growth of parasite while other colour wavelengths also affected the growth of parasite. It is, therefore, suggested that as red colour inhibits the growth of parasite so patients suffering from *** can be treated with the application of red colour.
