Nutritional status of pregnant women in selected hospitals in Dhaka city
Background Nutritional status is an aspect of dietary quality that indicates general nutritional adequacy. Lack of diversified deities a severe problem in the developing country where diets are predominantly starchy staples with few animal products seasonal fruits and vegetable.
Objectives Assess the nutritional knowledge of pregnant mothers in Dhaka city. To descript identify the economic status of pregnant women in the study area. To find out the food consumption pattern of the participants.
Methodology Cross sectional analytical design was used and the study was carried out from Dhaka Medical College Hospital. The samples were selected by convenience sampling method. The data were collected by using a close ended questionnaire from coded by six themes; finally data are analysed and presented quantitative analysis.
Results Following themes have been emerged on the basis of data analysis on SPSS version-20.According to the themes the results are made. This includes not only educational level but also awareness about nutrition which is important for the pregnant women. The mother mean age was 18.39 and their nutritional knowledge was good whose have educational high level and whose have good economic status but up to 50?of the participants, there were not good nutritional status. Many of the participants do not know well about the nutritional value.
Conclusion In Bangladesh the nutritional knowledge of the pregnant mother is going developed day by day but this spread is low. If the Government of the country and the other high rated health related organization take the steps like some rules?campaigns?conference?community program about nutrition against it then it can be a better result comparing to the other country that seems to be better.

Bioefficacy of local Lantana camara (Verberneae) plant extracts against the 3rd instar larva and adult stages of Anopheles gambiae senso lato (Giles).
Resistance of malaria vectors to synthetic chemicals with high operational cost and environmental pollution has been a great challenge to scientists. Alternative approaches such as the use of natural plant products which are environmentally friendly are put in place to control malaria vectors. This study was focused on testing the effectiveness of three solvent extracts of Lantana camara on the 3rd instar larvae and adults of Anopheles gambiae s. l. These extracts were obtained by maceration. Bioassays test were carried out by WHO’s method for determination of larvicidal and adulticidal efficacy. The results show that, larval mortality increased significantly with the concentration and exposure time. Lethal concentrations 50 (LC50) and 95 (LC95) after 24 hours of larvae exposure time are respectively 0.31 g/mL and 1.53 g/mL while within 48 h they are 0.27 g/mL and 0.79 g/mL for hexane extract; 1.45 g/mL and 2.0 g/mL (24 h exposure), 0.84 g/mL and 1.55 g/mL (48 h exposure) for acetone extract; 1.96 g/mL and no lethal concentration causing 95% mortality was determined; 0.40 g/mL and 2.20 g/mL (48 h) for aqueous extract. The efficacy of hexane and aqueous extract on the adult knock down and mortality were not significant even with the increasing extract concentrations and exposure time whereas with acetone extract, the adult LC50 after 24 h was 2.4 g/mL but with 95% mortality lethal concentration was not determined. According to the results, hexane extract showed high larvicidal efficacy of An. gambiae and acetone extract showed significant adult mortality. Those two extracts of L. camara can be used to fight against An. gambiae as alternative malaria vector control to replace conventional insecticides.

The relevance of pain management & relief in the COVID-19 outbreak: an evaluation of the ten years implementation of the dedicated law in Italy
In 2010, Law no. 38 of March 15, 2010 on "Provisions for guaranteeing access to palliative care and pain therapy" (1) was issued in Italy. Law 38/2010 transposes and formalizes the provisions of the “Charter of rights on unnecessary pain” and in part of the “European Charter of Patients’ Rights” promoted by Cittadinanzattiva and its international branch Active Citizenship Network, giving full legitimacy to the "Right to avoid unnecessary suffering and pain". A right for which many organizations of citizens and patients, together with numerous motivated professionals, fought hard, fighting the idea of pain and suffering as unavoidable components of the disease. Ten years after the publication of Law 38/2010, several steps have been taken and many progresses have been made, but there is still much work to be done for its full implementation. As a matter of fact, in Italy, Law 38/2010 is still little known by citizens and most of them ignore important rights for pain therapy and palliative care. This manuscript illustrates the main results of a civic survey promoted in 2020 by Cittadinanzattiva, which photographs how well-informed citizens are on the subject and how well they are able to assert their rights in Italy.
