The number of satisfied participants above 40 years were 10 (16%) and less than 40 years were 53 (84%). Out of 63, 46 (73.02%) were male and 17 (26.98%) were females.

This case discusses a patient who developed severe EMM lesions after consuming nimesulide, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), for abdominal discomfort. Patient was admitted to the hospital, the drug was discontinued, and supportive measures such as pain management and fluid replacement were initiated. This case, being the first to identify nimesulide as a possible trigger for EMM, aims to contribute to the growing body of knowledge on this topic. It emphasizes the need for vigilance and swift intervention for unusual drug reactions.Publication Prevalence and Associated Factors of Menopausal Symptoms Among Women(Nepal Health Research Council, 2026) Paudel, Rama; KC, Dilip; Gyawali, Jeevan; Chauhan, Bhim; Dahal, Agnimshwor; Thapa, Astha; Jha, Jay BhushanAbstract: Background: Menopause is the transitional change in women from the reproductive to non-reproductive stage, a phenomenon unique to women. A variety of symptoms are present as part of this transition, brought by changes in female reproductive hormones, estrogen and progesterone. These symptoms include a range of physical symptoms of hot flushes, night sweats, irregular menstruation to depression, and insomnia. This study aimed to find out the menopausal symptoms and its associated factors among women in Dhorpatan Municipality, Baglung, Nepal.
