English0711Aditi Vinay ChandakEnglish Surekha Godbole DubeyEnglish Seema SatheEnglish Tanvi Rajesh BalwaniEnglishIntroduction: In recent years the use of the minimally invasive technique of treatment is giving quite promising results not only in cosmetics but also in dentistry. Botulinum toxin is injected in the affected muscles which in turns inhibits the acetylcholine and results in the reduction of the tone of muscles. The commonly used name for Botulinum toxin is BOTOX. There are seven serotypes of botulinum toxin. Mainly two types are used. Patients who are contraindicated for conventional therapies can easily undergo BOTOX therapy as it is a preventive treatment at low cost. Aim and Objective: This review article explains about the various applications of botulinum toxin for painful conditions in dentistry and also for aesthetics.

English1215Anil MeenaEnglish Gajendra Pal Singh UikeEnglish Jagannath JatavEnglishBackground: Enlargement of lymph nodes or lymphadenopathy is one of the ubiquitous clinical presentations of patients attending the outpatient department (OPD). Fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC), as the initial investigation, has assumed importance in diagnosing various diseases. It is a cost-effective, reliable, immediate, preliminary, relatively little traumatic procedure compared to open biopsy. However, there is not always a specific diagnosis, thus providing ample information for further management and reducing the amount of open biopsy. Objectives: In the present study, we identified the pattern of diseases in the different anatomical locations of lymph nodes and the role of FNAC in the diagnosis of diseases. Materials and Methods: A two-year study of 920 cases of lymphadenopathy presenting to the Department from January 2016 to December 2017 taken up for our study. FNAC performed using a 23/24 gauge needle and a 20 ml syringe. Four of the prepared smears, two were fixed in alcohol and stained with hematoxylin and eosin and Papanicolaou stain. Two smears air-dried, one stained with Leishman stain, and the other by May-Grunwald-Giemsa (MGG) stain. Special stains like periodic acid–Schiff for mucin (PAS) and Ziehl–Neelsen stain (ZN) stain for acid-fast bacilli (AFB) performed for the diagnosis of peculiar lesions. Results: Most common lesion observed in our study was reactive lymphadenitis (33.26%), followed by granulomatous lymphadenitis (28.15%), tubercular lymphadenitis (17.39%) and metastatic lesions (14.23%). Cervical lymphadenopathy found to be the most common site in our study. Conclusion: Our study highlighted the various morphological patterns and incidence of lymphadenopathy concerning various regions and sex. FNAC as a straightforward, cost-effective, relatively painless, quick, repeatable, and reliable method of investigation for lymphadenopathy and also very useful in developing countries like India where costly investigations are not easily affordable.

AherEnglishIntroduction: Punica granatum (Punicaceae) has a wide variety of medicinal application owing to its different parts such as leaves, the rind of the fruits, seeds, roots, stems, bark. Up till now very less or no research has been done on the comparative evaluation of the anthelmintic activity of the bark and roots of Punica granatum. Aim: This research study aimed to evaluate aqueous and organic extracts of bark and root of Punica granatum for their anthelmintic activity using Indian adult earthworm called Pheretima Posthuma and to perform comparative evaluation between aqueous and organic extract. Methods: Different concentrations of aqueous and organic extract ranging from 10 to 100 mg/ml were made and tested on a said earthworm. These extracts were tested for bioassays which includes time for paralysis and time for the death of the worms. Results: Aqueous as well as organic extract of bark exhibited strong anthelmintic activity at a concentration of 100 mg/ml as compared to the root. Lower concentrations did not produce significant anthelmintic activity. The standard reference drug which is used for comparing the anthelmintic activity of these extracts was piperazine citrate at a concentration of 10 mg/ml. Conclusion: Both aqueous and organic extracts of bark and root of Punica granatum are evaluated for and showed potential anthelmintic activity.

English3237Anuja IkharEnglish Manoj ChandakEnglish Nidhi MotwaniEnglish Akshay ThoteEnglish Supriya SawantEnglishIntroduction: Oral health is an essential and vital component of overall health and is associated with much more than just healthy teeth. Ashram schools are one of the initiatives of the government of India for providing education to the children of tribal communities. Aim: To evaluate the effectiveness of oral health care initiatives in reducing oral morbidities by improving oral health care behaviour amongst ashram school students. Method: 8 ashram schools were selected for the study. Teachers from 8 Ashram schools attended the one-day Orientation Workshop. A qualitative (semi-structured interview of teachers) and quantitative (survey) method was undertaken for baseline assessment in both the groups. The baseline assessment targeted on detection of dental caries, gingival and periodontal health dietary habits and tobacco chewing habit. Results: The major weaknesses of Ashram schools were poor training of teachers in detecting health problem and lack of timely treatment of illnesses. Students are from poor and low socio-economic strata of disadvantaged sections of the society. In baseline assessment in the control group, 32% of students had Caries. In the control group, 57.42% of students had the presence of the periodontal problem which increases to 63.58 %, in the control group, 28.85% of students had the presence of fluorosis which increases to 33.64%. Discussion: The oral morbidities during baseline assessment in all the ashram schools was examined. 33.28 % of students have tooth decay, whereas 67% of students detected with bleeding gums. The fluorosis was found to be in 38.28% of students and teeth which undergone minor trauma (enamel fracture, dentinal fractures) were seen with 9.14 % students. Conclusion: This study initiates the thought-provoking response for the dental educators who carry out camps in different setups and indifferent population.

English4348Shrinivas GatlewarEnglish Rutuja MeshramEnglish Purushottam S. GanganeEnglish Debarshi Kar MahapatraEnglish Nilesh M. MahajanEnglishBackground: Carbamazepine is used in the management of seizures by decreasing the central nervous system disorganized electrical activity and also has analgesic properties. It exerts serious side effects in normal administration owing to the extrapyramidal effect which signifies the importance of its incorporation into the extended-release system to reduce the possible side-effects associated with the drug.
Objective: In the present study, multiple extended-release systems of Carbamazepine was formulated using various polymers. The effect of viscosity modifying polymers of different grades and its contribution to the release behaviour was examined. Different formulations were prepared and studied for their drug release potentials. Among them, selected formulations were further evaluated for dimensions of the portal.
Methodology: Trial batches were designed with osmogen and cellulose polymers along with solubility enhancer as the model drug used to have low solubility. The optimization of the formulation was done by wavering concentration of cellulose polymers and the dimensions of the release portal were determined.
Result: A new strategy for extended delivery has been accomplished by extended-release solid oral tablet formed by the combination of solubility enhancers and cellulose polymers. The arrangement of a hydrophilic polymer with a surfactant as solubility promoter and the use of cellulose polymer represents an innovative and effective approach for the delivery of poorly water-soluble. The study further can be used to deliver a cost-effective and robust system for water-insoluble drugs in a zero-order manner.
Conclusion: The rapid development of these investigational therapeutic formulations will put forward new avenues for future commercialization of drug after completion of required clinical studies.

English5863Khadijeh J. MenaiEnglish Ali IraniEnglish Roli DaveEnglishIntroduction: Football is a sport where speed and kicking performance are of utmost importance for most of the actions during the sport. Such intense actions require vitamin D at optimal levels. There is a global prevalence of vitamin D deficiency even in countries with ample sunlight, India being an example.70%–100% of the general population in India is considered to have low vitamin D levels. Very few studies have aimed at finding out the vitamin D status in sportsmen while maximum studies have addressed the community in general.
Objective: The study aims at finding out the prevalence of vitamin D3 deficiency along with the effects of its deficiency on the kicking performance in football players.
Methods: This experimental study was carried out on 150 elite level football players from local clubs and academies across Mumbai city. All the subjects went through a screening blood test to determine vitamin D3 levels. Performance parameters were analyzed by assessing side kick distance, instep kick distance and kick velocity both at the beginning and end of 4 weeks supplementation.
Results: Paired T-test was used to analyze the data which showed statically significant improvement in sidekick distance, instep kick distance and kick velocity post 4 weeks of vitamin D3 supplementation. About 87% players recorded vitamin D3 levels < 30 ng/ml (nanograms/milliliter) and 99% players recorded vitamin D3 < 40 ng/ml (nanograms/milliliter).
Conclusion: We concluded that the vitamin D3 level in professional football players in Mumbai city is far below optimal. Supplementation may improve their performance and speed in terms of kick distance and kick velocity.

Objectives: Study is to know the efficacy of tranexamic acid in Abnormal uterine bleeding in our hospital.
Methods: The present study was conducted in 50 patients with complaints of regular excessive menstrual flow were included. The study included measurement of menstrual blood loss, duration of bleeding, number of sanitary pads used for two menstrual cycles in women who complained of regular excessive menstrual bleeding using pictogram and PBAC Scoring (Pictorial blood loss assessment charts ). The oral drug, tranexamic acid 500 mg thrice daily was given to these women after obtaining who had mean menstrual blood loss of more than 80ml, according to PBAC scoring more than 100, based on the assessment in the previous two menstrual cycles.
Results: Significant decrease in the amount of menstrual bleeding was noticed in 39 out of 50 women. Mean menstrual blood loss during one pre-treatment cycle was dropped to 60 ml from 120 ml. The mean decrease was 54.7 ml in one cycle. The decrease in the amount of blood loss was about 45% to 50%, which was indicating that the drug was very effective in decreasing blood loss. Increase in haemoglobin concentration is also noticed. But there was not much difference in the duration of menstrual bleeding. 74% of them had haemoglobin less than 10 gm%, after treatment with tranexamic acid and oral iron therapy, this percentage was decreased to 42%.
Conclusions: Treatment with tranexamic acid increases the quality of life of women by reducing the impairment of social activities and impairment at work and there is substantial improvement in overall well being.

English7074S. Shanmuga PriyaEnglish Susruthan MuralitharanEnglish Lawrence D'CruzeEnglish Padmapriya BEnglish Barathi GEnglishIntroduction: Malignant surface epithelial ovarian carcinomas usually present at an advanced stage of the disease and also one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths in women despite multimodality treatment. Programmed death-ligand -1 (PDL-1) is a co-regulatory molecule expressed on the surface of ovarian tumour cells as well as immune cells, binds to its receptor programmed death receptor (PD-1) and suppresses the local tumour immunity thereby helping the tumour cells to spread and metastasize.
Objective: To determine the immunohistochemical expression of PD L-1 in tumour cells and immune cells in malignant surface epithelial tumours of the ovary. To correlate the level of PDL-1 expression with histopathological parameters of surface epithelial tumours of the ovary.
Methods: Immunohistochemical expression of PDL-1 in 100 cases of surface epithelial tumours of ovary were studied. Clinicopathological parameters, history of presurgical treatment, response to treatment, presence of tumour implants and presence of metastasis etc were obtained from the hospital medical records. The intensity and extent of membranous staining by anti-PD L-1 were scored for the tumoural cells and the tumour infiltrating immune cells separately. Statistical analysis was done on the data collected using the “SPSS Version 11” statistical program. Pearson Chi-square test was used to determine significant clinicopathological differences between PD-L1 expression in positive and negative tumours.
Results: PDL-1 expression in tumour cells was high in 6(6%) cases and 22(22%) cases showed expression in immune cells in tumour micro-environment. A significant statistical correlation between PDL-1 expression and grade and histological type of tumour was noted.
Conclusion: High expression of PD-LI was noted in tumour infiltrating immune cells in more number of cases than that of the expression in tumour cells. The present study indicates that expression of PD-L1 is related to histologic type, the grade of the tumour and ovarian surface involvement by tumour cells with statistical significance.

The tools and techniques vary from as basic anthropometric measurement to as advanced as studying genes depending upon the field of medical science. Anthropometry is mainly covered under the departments of Anatomy and forensic and/or criminology units. Stature has been estimated by various researchers using arm span, hand length, length of the foot, length of fingers, demi-span, sitting height and many more. This review was aimed to study various parameters used for stature estimation and finding out the most supported one. This systematic review has included studies which have primarily focused on measurement of height with any other correlate to getting a brief account of anthropometric data on stature. The articles were sorted out using various databases which include Google Scholar, Scopus, Research Gate, PubMed and MEDLINE. All the articles were reviewed twice and most relevant articles were included and analyzed. Out of different parameters used for predicting the stature of an individual, the arm-span is the most efficient and accurate. Arm span can be used for prediction of the stature of the particular population.

English8084Dawson Vinay KumarEnglish Dawson Elizabeth ManasviEnglishIntroduction: Uveitis, is a complex intraocular inflammatory disease with multifactorial etiology. The cause of inflammation might be an infectious agent or trauma, but in some cases, the underlying mechanism appears to be autoimmune.
Aim: The present study aimed to evaluate the etiological pattern, treatment, and outcome and complications of anterior uveitis.
Methods: A prospective clinical study was done in the Department of Ophthalmology. All patients aged between 21-70 yrs with clinical signs and symptoms of anterior uveitis were included. All the patients underwent complete clinical evaluation and investigation were performed to determine etiology. Patients were put on specific and non-specific treatment and were followed up for 6 months. Complications were noted.
Results: Patients n=44(88%) of the total n=50(100%) patients were having acute anterior uveitis and n=6(12%) were having a chronic type of anterior uveitis shown in table 3. In the present study, most of the cases n=45(90%) were suffering from non-granulomatous infection and n=5(10%) were having granulomatous inflammation. Cataract was the common compilation of anterior uveitis out of the n=7 cases in this study n=6 cases reached the maximum post-operative vision of 6/12 and one was able to reach n=6/9 with refraction and they were prescribed glasses.
Conclusion: The primary etiology of anterior uveitis remained obscure in several cases. Every case should be subjected to complete clinical examination and investigations to determine the final diagnosis. Early diagnosis and treatment will ensure a good clinical outcome. However, ocular morbidity remains a problem in chronic and recurrent cases.

English8595Sreekala Nelliakkattu ParameswaranEnglish Manjusree Radhakrishnan ParappurathuEnglish Aravind KumarEnglish Krishnendu SukumaranEnglishIntroduction: Central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) may result in either blurring of vision in the non-ischemic variety or vision loss in the ischemic variety. The two varieties of CRVO are identifiable by distinctive fundus findings. Observation is the first line of management in non-ischemic CRVO, but this does not always produce desired results. Hence, options in complementary and alternative medicine, including Ayurveda, may be sought.
Case Series: Data about three patients of non-ischemic CRVO who underwent conventional management but got marginal relief of their symptoms are presented here. The patients were managed using specially-tailored Ayurvedic treatments such as oral medicines, purification procedures, and local therapies for both the eyes and head.
Results: Satisfactory results in visual acuity, posterior segment examination, and optical coherence tomography (OCT) were noted.

ThahaEnglish Andi Selvi YusnitasariEnglish AfsahyanaEnglishIntroduction: Herbal medicines are good alternative treatment for management of blood glucose level. One of the herbal medicines that have potential as anti-diabetic is palm juice (Borassus flabellifer).
Objective: This study was aimed to determine the effect of sap palm (Borassus flabellifer) on the decrease of blood glucose levels in patients with pre-diabetic.
Methods: Design of quasi-experimental with a randomized pre-test post-test control group design. The total sample was 50 people, divided into two groups: the sap palm intervention group and education of 25 people and the control group with the education of 25 people.
Result: There was a decrease in blood glucose levels in the group that received sap palm interventions, and a significant difference between the groups that received sap palm interventions with the control group. Based on the results of the follow-up, there was a decrease in blood glucose levels every week between the intervention group and the control group. However, the reduction was greater in the group with sap palm intervention. Provision of sap palm for three weeks at a dose of 200 ml 2 times a day, such as a morning and evening after eating, proved effective in reducing blood glucose levels in patients with pre-diabetic.
Conclusions: Sap palm can be used as an alternative herbal medicine for pharmacological therapy in pre-diabetic.

English101105J. PrassannaEnglish Jani L. AnbarasiEnglish R. PrabhakaranEnglish Kanchana Devi VEnglish Rajiv VincentEnglish R. ManikandanEnglish Ambeshwar KumarEnglishIntroduction: Currently the Manual Health Care System works on a Referral basis where a Village Patient is referred to District Level Hospital for further treatment and then to State/National Level Hospitals if not cured. The patient needs to carry all the medical prescription records manually for each level and there is no data security. Missing of any data will lead to undergo a tedious process.
Objectives: This study aims to analyse the drawbacks in the existing healthcare system in the rural areas and proposed an effective secured assistive health care system for rural areas.
Methods: Local village structure and the patient information were studied and an application is developed to store the patient’s information in a secured way. The secured data is distributed to the state and national level hospitals during treatment. This allows the early diagnosis and treatment of a person in villages.
Results: The system helps to monitor and update the entire patient record securely using encryption. Avoids duplicated file processing and stores the data in Distributed Servers by enabling high maintenance and security thereby maintaining better health care system.
Conclusion: The proposed distributed system will reduce the manual work and help to maintain the patient record in sync at the village-district-state-national level. This distributed system is a procedural healthcare system. It satisfies the patient requirements and it stores the prescription data and information about patients in a distributed system for easy maintenance of data. This system has enabled the security system with auditing files, which are stored in distributed servers.

English106110Ohang ChaudhariEnglish Pranjal ShindeEnglish Honeypalsinh H. MaharaulEnglishIntroduction: Peritonitis is a frequently encountered pathology by a general surgeon. The development of antimicrobial agents and the advancement of surgical techniques in the past decade have decreased morbidity and mortality. The complications range from minor wound infection to life-threatening septic shock and Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (SIRS). Usage of appropriate antimicrobial agents that covers gram-positive, gram-negative, and anaerobic organisms provides good recovery in the patients. But inappropriate usage of antibiotics without following guidelines leads to the development of antibiotic resistance and treatment failure.
Objectives: To study the microbiological pattern of the peritoneal fluid in culture and sensitivity and to identify the pattern of antibiotic sensitivity for routinely used organisms.
Methods: This is cross-sectional study conducted in 50 patients with peritonitis and perforation confirmed on chest x-ray. Peritoneal fluid is isolated and nature of microorganism are characterized along with antibiotic sensitivity.
Results: In this study, the most common site of perforation leading to peritonitis is Duodenum followed by the stomach. Mostly secondary to peptic ulcer disease. The most common organism isolated was Klebsiella followed by E.coli, mixed cultures, Proteus, and pseudomonas. Most of the organisms isolated from the peritoneal fluid on culture were sensitive to the Cephalosporin group followed by Fluoroquinolones and macrolides.
Conclusion: Appropriate antibiotic use based on the sensitivity pattern is essential to improve the morbidity and mortality in patients who suffered from perforation secondary to peritonitis and to prevent antimicrobial resistance.

Advancement in radio and chemotherapy fields and better diagnostic modalities helped a lot in the improvement of results of limb salvage surgery. In limb salvage surgeries after tumour resection, replacement with mega-prosthesis is one of the standard methods. To improve functional outcomes, we have used mesh in our study.
Objectives: To evaluate the results of the use of mesh in limb salvage surgeries done for malignant bone tumours by comparing the range of movements with a group of patients in which mesh was not used. The objective is to assess the clinical and functional outcomes of the patients.
Methods: A retrospective study of 19 patients was carried out. We included patients with a minimum follow up of 6 months. The study includes all common regions of the body affected by the malignant bone tumour (lower end femur, upper-end tibia, upper-end femur and upper-end humerus) operated by limb salvage surgery and mega-prosthesis replacement. Two study groups, one without mesh and one with the use of mesh were compared. We have used mesh in primary reconstruction surgery.
Results: Results were evaluated by the Musculo Skeletal Tumour Society (MSTS) scoring system showed a good range of movements in terms of Shoulder abduction (for Proximal humerus replacement) [Figure 1,2&3] and knee extension.
Conclusion: Use of mesh induces fibrosis and provides anchorage to soft tissues and muscles in limb salvage surgery. Thus achieves a good range of active movements and can lessen the time for immobilization. Thus it helps psychosocial rehabilitation of the family and society5,6.

English155160Rathod GeetaEnglish Hatti S.S.English Naresh RathodEnglishIntroduction: Earthworms are true coelomates, metamerically segmented annelids. The coelomic fluid of Earthworms is said to have demonstrated antimicrobial activity.
Objectives: To study the antimicrobial activity of different concentrations (5 μl, 10 μl, 15 μl, 20 μl/ disc) of coelomic fluid of Earthworm O. suriensis (Octochaetona suriensis) against standard ATCC (American type culture cells /colonies) strains of microbes likeS. aureus (Staphylococcus aureus), E. faecalis (Enterococcus faecalis), E. coli (Escherichia Coli), P. aeruginosa (Pseudomonas aeruginosa) and C. Albicans (Candida albicans).
Methods: A standard antibiotic disc of AMP (Ampicillin) 10 μg /disc was used as a positive control for bacteria and KT(Ketoconazole) 10μg/disc for fungi. A plane 6mm Whatman’s filter paper disc was used as a negative control on a Petri plate, that was incubated overnight at 37°C for bacteria and 25°C for fungi and results were tabulated.
Results: The coelomic fluid of O. Suriensis has exhibited excellent antimicrobial activity against all ATCC strains of microbes even at minimum concentrations. In P. aeruginosa it has shown 20mm zone of inhibition at 5μl and at 37 mm zone of inhibition 20 μl, while standard antibiotic Ampicillin did not exhibit any zone of inhibition. In C. albicans it has shown 11mm zone of inhibition at 20μl which is very near to inhibition shown by positive control (ketoconazole 10μg/disc) 12mm.
Conclusion: We conclude that coelomic fluid of earthworm O. suriensis is a potent antimicrobial substance. The molecular study should be carried out that may help us to discover new antimicrobial agents.

English161165Deepak MittalEnglish Shashi Prabha TomarEnglish Rajesh TiwariEnglishIntroduction: In India, around 2.0–2.5 million people are living with one or another kind of cancer menace and above 7–8 lakhs new cases added every year to the existing burden. Availability of data in this regard is mostly from developed countries where the social-demographic scenarios are quite different from developing countries on comparing data from developed countries. Although fewer studies had been carried out in India in this regard seems to be non-sufficient for addressing the problem.
Objective: To explore social-demographic predictors of Caregiver burden among caregivers of cancer patients attending cancer hospital Jabalpur.
Methods: This is a descriptive cross-sectional, hospital-based study conducted in cancer hospital Jabalpur in 340 caregivers. Chi-square test was applied to determine the association of study variables with caregiver burden. Results: Mean scores as assessed by ZBI was found to be 38± 11 (median = 36). 197 (57.9 %) caregivers were male, 143 (42.1%) were female. 81 % of males feel cared for giving burden, while among females only 55 (41.4%) feel it. Despite contributing only 40.6% study population, urban caregivers experienced significantly high (82%) caregiver burden. the maximum caregiving burden observed in middle class 86.4%, which constitutes only 25% of the study population and the caregiver burden was found statistically significant.
Conclusion: These finding suggested coping with the problem of care-giving burden more policies and programmes in this direction should have been planned with special attention particularly to reduce burden amongst those having more suffering.

English179182Prasanna Kumar SahooEnglish Arakhita SwainEnglish Gangadhar SahooEnglish Smaraki MohantyEnglish Kulani BarikEnglishBackground: Congenital hypothyroidism (CH) is the most common preventable cause of mental retardation. Clinical manifestations of CH are not usually manifested at birth and remain undetected. The undetected CH infants show signs and symptoms of mental retardation at later age. Newborn screening for CH is a cheap and affordable tool to detect CH at birth to prevent mental retardation. There is the paucity of studies for detection of CH in this region of Odisha, hence this study.
Objective: To ascertain the incidence of CH in newborn babies and the effect of different variables on the level of TSH at birth.
Methods: This is retrospective observational study in babies born in selected centre of Odisha and newborns attending for a normal health check-up within 3-5 days. Estimation of TSH level from venous blood samples collected from 1530 neonates, included in this study, at 72-120 hours after birth and from 163 newborns, recalled for reestimation, at 21-30 days.
Results: Out of 1530 neonates, no case of CH was found. Incidence of CH was zero. However, different variants influenced the level of TSH. Level of TSH decreased with the advancement of age. Neonates with male sex, low birth weight and those born by vaginal delivery had a significantly higher TSH. Gestational age and parity did not affect TSH level.163 neonates probably had Transitional Hypothyroidism.
Conclusion: CH can be detected at an affordable cost which outweighs the cost of investigation and treatment of CH and mental retardation in later life.

English187196Swarnima TiwariEnglish Deepak BhagatEnglishIntroduction: Though relevance and importance of emotional intelligence have been documented in various fields, yet, the emotional intelligence dimension of health care professionals has not been given adequate attention and very little empirical research has examined the role of EI on occupational stress.
Objective: To systematically explore and describe the relationship between EI and the dimensions of occupational stress.
Methods: To this aim, a sample of 257 nurses and 131 doctors working in hospitals, PHC’s, CHC’s, & sub-centres were selected from all the hospitals, CHC’s, and PHC’s. The study included 4 questionnaires: Emotional Quotient Test, Occupational Stress Index (OSI), Oldenburg Burnout Inventory (OLBI), and Perceived stress scale (PSS). Data obtained were analyzed using ANOVA, Pearson correlation, and multiple regression.
Results: The results highlighted an inverse significant relationship between the dimensions of occupational stress and emotional intelligence. Additionally, a positive relationship was also found between age, working experience, and stress, with younger healthcare professionals and those with a shorter length of service experiencing more stress. However, EI and health are not related to age or length of service.
Conclusion: The study concluded that emotional intelligence can help in reducing occupational stress among health care not only by decreasing or controlling the stressors present in the workplace but also by increasing the potential of employees to effectively deal with those stressors.

English197203Santosh Kumar SwainEnglish Smarita LenkaEnglish Saurjya Ranjan DasEnglishOrbital mucormycosis is a filamentous fungal infection which is found to be inflaming the orbit along with the cerebrum, initiating from paranasal sinus, is scrutinized in the department of Otorhinolaryngology. Mucorales remains common and frequently isolated microorganisms, causing mucormycosis but Mucor spp. and Rhizomucor spp., are responsible for 70% of total cases. Inflammation is initiated at paranasal sinus and is disseminated to orbit. The whole inflammatory process goes through four stages of pathogenesis. Germination is supported by high glucose, low oxygen concentration, high iron levels and acidic medium and then germinates into hyphae. This analytical review has tried to drag attention upon complete systematic steps of orbital mucormycotic infection including physical, clinical as well as the pathological presentation of orbital mucormycosis. Rhino-orbital mucormycosis is a dreaded clinical entity. It invades and occludes vascular lumina, forms a characteristic black eschar on paranasal sinus. The disease, through the ethmoid and maxillary sinuses, spreads to the paranasal sinuses into the orbit and then to the cranial cavity by way of the orbital apex, cribriform plate, orbital nerves or orbital vessels. It could be diagnosed by histopathologically, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) scan. Epithelial cells and phagocytic cells help in host defence mechanism but Mucorales spores trap the nasal epithelial cells coming to contact with GRP78 through fungal spore coat protein CotH3 and harm the primary cell lining. By utilizing iron chelators, hyperbaric oxygen and immunity-boosting of individuals can be proved as a complementary process to the management of orbital mucormycosis.

Menstrual Irregularities in Adolescent Girls and Correlation with the Extent of Exposure to Plastics: A Case-Control Study
English229235Suman YadavEnglish Irsad AhamadEnglish Smita BhatiaEnglish M. Gouri DeviEnglish Rita SinghEnglish
Introduction: Menstrual irregularities in adolescent girls are rapidly increasing worldwide. Exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals such as plastics including Bisphenol A (BPA), Phthalates and Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) are potential environmental toxins contributing to hormonal imbalance and irregular menstrual cycles. Aim/Objectives: We examined the association between plastic usage and menstrual cycle characteristics among Adolescent girls aged 15–19 years who were participating in a questionnaire-based cohort study under the program on reproductive health awareness in adolescent girls. Materials and Methods: A case-control study of 360 girls was conducted in 2016 and 2019 in a school in Rajasthan, India. We used self-reported information through a questionnaire to assess the association of irregular menstrual cycles (≤25 days and ≥35 days) with extent of plastic usage categorized here as medium and high. Results: The study cohort had a high prevalence of irregular menstrual cycles (40.8%). Heavy plastic exposures increased the chances of getting irregular periods significantly. Girls with irregular menstrual cycles had more prevalence of hair fall, acne, acanthosis nigricans, and abnormal hair growth/hirsutism. Girls with family history of diabetes and CVD were more susceptible to develop irregular menstrual after heavy usage of plastics. Both medium and high exposures to plastics were associated with abnormal hair growth/hirsutism (p EnglishPlastics, BPA, Phthalates, PVC, Irregular, Menstrual cyclehttp://ijcrr.com/abstract.php?article_id=4706http://ijcrr.com/article_html.php?did=4706
