Streptococcus pyogenes is a bacterium known to cause various infections, including throat infections, which can lead to serious complications if left untreated, particularly among school children. This cross-sectional study aims to determine the prevalence of Streptococcus pyogenes throat infection among school children in a specific geographic region. A random sample of school children will be selected, and throat swabs will be collected for laboratory analysis to identify the presence of Streptococcus pyogenes. The study will also collect relevant demographic and clinical data to assess risk factors associated with the infection. The findings of this study will provide valuable insights into the burden of Streptococcus pyogenes throat infection among school children and inform public health interventions for prevention and control.

Amide-based mutual prodrugs have gained significant attention in recent years as promising pharmaceutical candidates due to their potential to enhance drug solubility, stability, and bioavailability. This study focuses on the synthesis and evaluation of a novel amide-based mutual prodrug designed to improve the delivery and therapeutic efficacy of a parent drug. The synthesis involves the chemical conjugation of two active moieties through an amide bond to form a single prodrug entity. The evaluation encompasses a comprehensive assessment of physicochemical properties, in vitro release kinetics, enzymatic hydrolysis, and pharmacological activity of the prodrug compared to the parent drug. The results obtained shed light on the prodrug's potential advantages and challenges, providing valuable insights for further optimization and development. The findings of this study contribute to the growing body of knowledge on amide-based mutual prodrugs and their application in pharmaceutical research.

This study aims to assess the knowledge, attitude, and practice of first aid among kindergarten teachers and explore the associated factors influencing their proficiency in providing first aid. First aid is a crucial skill that empowers individuals to respond effectively in emergency situations, especially in educational settings where young children are at risk of accidents and injuries. A cross-sectional survey was conducted, involving kindergarten teachers from diverse educational institutions. A structured questionnaire was used to collect data on their knowledge of common first aid procedures, attitudes towards administering first aid, and actual practices in real-life situations. Additionally, potential factors such as age, educational background, training received, and teaching experience were analyzed to identify associations with first aid knowledge and practices. The findings from this study will contribute to a better understanding of the current level of first aid knowledge and practices among kindergarten teachers and inform targeted interventions to enhance their preparedness in handling emergency situations effectively.
