Abstract

Introduction : Every year, it was found that burns caused by fire were responsible for about 265,000 deathsglobally. More than 90% of fatal fire-related burns occur in developing or lower and middle income countries(LMICs). Out of this, South- East Asia alone accounts for more than half of these fire-related deaths. InSouth East Asian region, death due to Burns in girl / women is more than that of Tuberculosis, HIV/AIDSand malaria combined. In India, burn injury is found to be one of the major causes of death, especially infemales. The problem of death due to burns in developing countries like India is primarily due to varioussocio-cultural factors prevalent in the country. Some of these factors include poor housing conditions, poormaintenance of electrical appliances, and customs of wearing dresses like sarees or dupatta, practice ofdowry, illiteracy level and poverty.Material and Method: Materials for the present study were collected from the medico legal autopsies of296 burn cases, performed at the mortuary of Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS), Ranchi, duringthe period from January 2018 to December 2018. A detailed performa was designed with a definite set ofquestionnaire which formed the basis of this study.Results: In our study, out of the 296 cases, the most common age group involved was 21-30 years with afemale sex predilection (female to male ratio of 1.5:1). As far as the marital status is concerned, most caseswere of married men and women (66.22%) involving mostly Housewives (43.25%). The most common timeperiod involved was between 4 PM to 10 PM (35.47%). Most of the cases took place at home (75.34%).Conclusion:- Our study primarily focuses on the epidemiological profile of data involving burn cases in thispart of India which is relatively a backward area comprising of a majority of tribal population.

Abstract

Introduction: Patient management and intervention practices are a crucial component of patient treatmentin the hospitals. In recent times the focus is put on early and regular mobilization of patients to boost recoveryduring and after hospitalization. Increase in inpatient mobilization to improve patient treatment raises aphysiotherapist’s physical demands and therefore risk of injury. With the context of a patient mobilizationprogram, better work procedures and decrease in physiotherapist’s injuries while working, SPH programwill be incorporated.Purpose : The goal of this research is to evaluate the effect of SPH program and mobilization in context ofefforts to improve quality of health care and safety of patients as well as the physical therapist.Method : There will be 2 groups, intervention (SPH) and comparison (no-SPH) each group will consist of20 patients. The intervention group will be consisting the patients admitted in rehabilitation unit for the firstthree months of the research and the comparison group will consist the patients admitted in rehabilitationunit in the last 3 months of the research. Intervention group will undergo rehabilitation with SPH programwhich will include equipments like lifts based on ceiling and floors, sit to stand supports, motorized hospitalbeds and ambulation aids.Result : Statistical analysis will be conducted. Comparison will be made on a variety of characters such asage, duration of stay and diagnosis to determine equivalence between the groups. Evaluation of the impactof SPH program on recovery outcome will be done by linear regression model. FIM scores of interventiongroup at admission and discharge will be compared to the comparison group FIM scores at the time ofadmission and discharge.

Abstract

India accompanies the world witnessing a rapidly spreading global pandemic of Covid-19. On 24 March,the Government of India ordered a nationwide lockdown that triggered the mass migration of daily wagesworkers back to their native states. Without prior testing for SARS-CoV-2, it imposed a new challengetowards the authorities to prevent the possible spread of infection. The study aims to determine the infectionstatus of migrants who died in the jurisdiction of Varanasi district during their journey and the possible risk ofspread of Covid-19 to frontline workers. The study was conducted between 24 March 2020 and 10 July 2020.A total of 6 cases came to our department who died during travel. The nasopharyngeal and oropharyngealswabs were taken after the body arrived in the mortuary and sent for detection of SARS-CoV-2 by RT-PCRmethod to the Viral Research and Diagnostic Laboratory (VRDL), Department of Microbiology of ourInstitute. A total of six cases were included in this study, of which 3 were positive for SARS-CoV-2 whileothers were negative. None of them had symptoms of Covid-19 infection, such as respiratory difficulties,sore throat or fever. The guidelines issued by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare were limitedin scope to hospital deaths and lacked guidelines to be followed by police personnel while investigatingunnatural deaths. This brings the police personnel at risk of contracting Covid-19 infection as the cases aregetting tested after the arrival at mortuary. The only way of protection is prevention, which mandates layingdown the guidelines at the earliest.

Abstract

It is believed abstraction that the Planets and stars influence human health and psychology is a popular notionin astrological science in India. However, debates are still ongoing about the exact effects and their extentand quality. This study aims to deduce the correlation between unnatural deaths in different age groups andthe lunar cycle in 2819 cases. The cases were selected from the dead bodies brought into the mortuary of thedepartment for medico-legal postmortem examination from the various police stations of Varanasi betweenthe duration of 1st January 2013 to 17th July 2014. The compiled data were studied and analyzed statisticallyby employing the ‘one-way parametric ANOVA.’ It was observed that out of 2819 cases the most affectedage group was between 21-40 years (52.4%) followed by the age group 41-60 years (23.1%) and 13-20 years(13.7%). The insignificant rise in unnatural death among different phases of the lunar cycle of different agegroups indicates minimal correlation and association with the lunar cycle. A detailed study may be done inthe future considering one parameter at a time.
