Abstract

Background: Bell’s palsy is the common acute mono-neuropathy, and is commonly associated with facialparalysis or weakness of facial nerve. It is unilateral facial nerve paresis or paralysis. The cause of Bell’spalsy is suspected to be herpes simplex virus infection of nerve.The nerve get swollen because of thisviral infection and is compressed in its canal as it passes through the temporal bone. Grading systems forthe assessment of movements and asymmetry of face in Facial palsy are divided into computer-based andtraditional grading systems. The program that uses Kinect Azure provides assessment method for evaluationof asymmetry of face at rest and the rating of facial palsy during voluntary activity of various areas overface. This study aims to investigate the intervention of facial palsy by video self modelling with the use ofKinect Azure.Methods: 20 participants will be selected. Each group will include 10 subjects. Group A will receiveconventional treatment, electrical muscle stimulator(EMS) ,and visual feedback.Group B(Experimental group) will receive conventional treatment ,electrical muscle stimulator and videoself modelling. Each participant would be presented with their own videotape of video self-modeling, whichincluded the best attempts at their evenest acts (smiles).Following 2 weeks of tape viewing the actions willbe assessed. The outcome of the treatment will be assessed by Kinect Azure.Discussion: Traditional methods for documentation of treatment effect have been through scales andquestionnaires which at times are little complex and also difficult for patients to interpret. Hence thisexperimental and comparative study aims at focusing on the effective use of Kinect to document outcomefor bell’s palsy

Abstract

Clinical Diagnostic Laboratory (CDL) plays a very important role in diagnosis and treatment of diseases.Total testing process (TTP) of laboratory includes pre-analytical, analytical and post-analytical phases. Tohave an accurate and reliable results, detection and prevention of errors is must from all these phases.Chances of errors are more in pre-analytical phase as compared other two phases. Though standards havebeen made to control error occurrence in pre-analytical phase, errors still noticed in this phase. The reasonis all the steps involved in this phase are dependent on humans and thus it is out of control of laboratory.Therefore it is necessary to generate proper guidelines or manual to minimize errors in pre-analytical phase.This is also an important step to achieve Total Quality Control (TQC). We have tried in this review tosummarize important pre-analytical errors, their occurrence at various stages, prevalence and preventiveaspects.

Abstract

Coronavirus disease - 19 is caused by a newly discovered virus called coronavirus. Coronavirus is a spherical ,enveloped particle with a single stranded RNA which causes acute mild respiratory illness. The transmissionis via airborne droplets. It multiplies in the nasal mucosa causing cell damage and inflammation. COVID19 has been increasing exponentially as it spreads very fast and in a country like India with a population of135 crore it is difficult to curtail the spread of the virus. The steps taken to control this spread such as socialdistancing, nation-wide lockdown were important to restrict the geographical spread of coronavirus. Thevirus is transmitted by droplets which can travel in air when an infected person or carrier coughs or sneezes.Therefore, primary preventive measures like practicing hygiene with soap and water for at least 60 secondsor using alcohol-based hand rub, social distancing and lockdown were implemented. This article covers themethod of hand washing, steps of hand washing and gives information about the do’s and don’ts of alcoholbased hand rubs. It also covers the importance of social distancing and lockdown with the social distancingmethods adopted in India.
