This stage has immense importance in terms of cognitive development of child.It is established that 75 per cent of human brain development occurs during early childhood period. The foundational stage is five years duration out of which 3 years for Pre school Anganwadi and 2 years for Primary classes..

Disruption of blood supply to lung alveoli due to blockage of one or more pulmonary blood vessels is called as Pulmonary thromboembolism. In this presentation we will discuss its causes, types and its management in depth.
The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

16. Introduction
• Overweight and obesity now rank as the fifth leading risk for mortality
worldwide.
• The factors underlying the disease’s conditions commonly originate during
childhood.
• Overweight and obese children are more likely to grow to become
overweight and obese adults with higher chances of developing non-
communicable diseases like diabetes and CVDs.
• Once called a high-income country problem, the rate of increase of
childhood overweight and obesity is 30% higher in low and middle-income
countries than in high-income nations.
11/17/2020 Subekchaya KC 16
17. Contd…
• The prevalence of childhood obesity in such nations has increased by 28%
in just a couple of years.
• There were 12.4 million obese children in Asia alone in 1990 (1.2 million in
Southeast Asia), which increased to 18 million in 2010 (2.5 million in
Southeast Asia). If this trend continues, there will be 24 million obese Asian
children by 2020.
• Childhood obesity is found to be particularly prevalent in areas that have
undergone economic growth, urbanization, technological advancement, and
food behavior modification, which is a similar characteristic in urban Nepal.
11/17/2020 Subekchaya KC 17
18. Contd…
• A study from Kaski district in Nepal found that the odds of having
overweight/obese children in urban households were 2.3 times higher
compared to rural households (p = 0.001, OR = 2.3).
• Previous studies in Nepal have mainly focused on socio-demographic
factors related to childhood overweight/obesity (OW/OB) and none reported
diet and physical activity-related risk factors.
11/17/2020 Subekchaya KC 18

• Out of 575 children, 18.6% (95% CI: 15.4–21.8) were overweight
and 7.1% (95% CI: 5.0–9.2) were obese.
• OW/OB was more prevalent among male children as compared to
females.
11/17/2020 Subekchaya KC 24
25. Results
• About 11% of the children were underweight.
• Multivariate logistic regressions showed that the sex of children,
education level of mothers, high junk food consumption, mode of
transport to and from school, and sedentary behaviors on weekend
were significantly associated with childhood OW/OB.
• Male children had double the risk of being OW/OB than female
children (aOR = 2.2, 95% CI: 1.3–3.5).
11/17/2020 Subekchaya KC 25
26. Contd...
• Children who consumed processed meat and its products, (such as
sausages, ham, roasts) snacks, (such as potato crisps, chips) and
confectionaries (such as sweets and ice cream) more than twice a week
were almost 3 times more likely to be overweight or obese than those who
