Abstract

Background: Sudden and unexpected nature of death is intriguing to the medical practitioner until a definitecause is found. Often a conclusive evidence of a natural cause is missing even after a thorough and elaborateautopsy. Material and methods: A six-year retrospective study of post mortem examinations conducted ata tertiary health care center to analyze the current trends in sudden deaths of natural cause. Results: Out of1465 autopsies conducted ,40.60% cases were of sudden natural deaths with a male predominance (75.45%).Maximum number of natural deaths were found in the age group of 51 – 60 (19.28%) and least between21 – 30 Years (1.98%). The most common system involved in these cases was Cardiovascular followed byRespiratory system. Conclusion: Analysis of causes of sudden natural deaths in various age groups garnersepidemiological data and helps in prevention of hereditary, infective and metabolic disorders which form amajority of these deaths.

Abstract

Introduction: - Increase in body mass index suggests an increase in adiposity, Excess body fat depositionleads to change in the Center of Pressure which leads to altered biomechanics of the body. Different systemswork together to maintain balance. The present study finds a relationship between BMI and dynamic balancein young adults with flexible flat foot.Method: - In this study, 30 participants were recruited based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Of the30 participants; 10 were of normal weight, 10 were overweight and 10 were obese. Y balance test wasperformed.Discussion: - The study showed that dynamic balance significantly changes with an increase in weight inyoung adults with flat feet. It is more significant in overweight and obese subjects. Any changes in ankleand foot complex leads to changes in weight-bearing, muscle imbalance static as well as dynamic balancein ambulation.

Abstract

The research topic concerning environment and toxicology has its unique importance. Toxicology as a subjectearlier seems confined to practice of diagnosing toxins and toxicants and treatment thereto. In its expandedhorizon it started studying the industrial toxins and their emission into the environment. With the industrialgrowth and emergence of ‘Transnational Corporations’(TNC’s) countries across the globe are facing newchallenges on environmental front. Accordingly, toxicology became interested in studying adverse effects ofchemicals on living organisms with eco-system as carrier. The toxins released from industries and E-wasteare cause of Toxic Jaundice, Toxic Cough, Toxic Paralysis, Toxic Shock Syndrome, besides Toxicosis andother diseases. International Conventions have been arranged to protect environment. Indian Constitutionimposes duty on State towards improving public health, prevention of hazards, besides duty on citizens toimprove environment. Responsibility on TNC’s as visualised by leak of poisonous Methyl isocyanate fromUnion Carbide is a pointer towards this.The deliberations under the Research topic being relation betweenIndustry, Environment, Health Hazard and Toxicology and areas of appropriate Management thereto.

Abstract

The novel Coronavirus, first appeared in Wuhan province of China in late December 2019, and grippedthe whole world in 2020, growing to be a full-blown pandemic and changed every individual’s life completely.India recorded its first Novel Coronavirus case on 30th January 2020 in Kerala, a student from Wuhan,China. In this article, the question about whether India is ready to tackle the crisis, i.e., Covid-19, wasanswered. Three mathematical models were reviewed and then compared to the number of beds availablein the country. The third mathematical model seemed to model the country’s curve much closer than thesecond one. The first one’s prediction actually came out to be true. Furthermore, the paper discusses thehealth infrastructure in the country and the strategies adopted by states to prevent the spread. It talks abouttwo specific states Kerala and Maharashtra and how the country needs to deal with the crisis. It is importantto note that according to the models and numbers currently, India is geared, However, if precautions are nottaken the situation can get much worse. This paper also discusses the fatality rates currently in India andwhere we stand for treatment. Currently, the treatment protocols keep changing from time to time.

Abstract

Globally, falls from height (FFH) are a substantial public health peril and are among the foremost causesof serious and fatal injuries sustained to a victim. Falls are the second leading cause of accidental orunintentional injury deaths worldwide. This retrospective study consisting of 182 cases was undertakento study the sociodemographic profile and injury pattern in victims of fall from height for a period of 2years . Males outnumbered the females (3.04:1). Most of the victims were construction workers (43.40%)by occupation . Most of incidents 117 (64.28%) took place in semi urban area and 45 (24.72%) victimsoccurred in the Urban locality. 49.45% of the cases (90) occurred in the summer season.37.91% of the eventswere seen between 12 Noon to 6 PM. In majority of cases, side of the body was the primary site of impact(25.27%) followed by head injury (21.43). 12.08% of the cases turned fatal. Implementation of adequatesafety measures would effectively reduce the incidence of mortality and morbidity associated with fall fromheight .

Abstract

Background: The youth of the country especially college students can serve as a readily available pool ofvoluntary blood donors and help tide away some of the scarcity of blood and blood products. This study wasconducted to determine the Knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) regarding Voluntary Blood Donationamong medical undergraduate studentsand to assess the factors which can lead to a subsequent increase inthe same.Method: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted amongst 500 undergraduate medical studentsstudying at Government Medical College, Patiala, Punjab using a structured, self-administered questionnaireregarding KAP.Results: The mean age of the 500 participating students was 20.46 years with a standard deviation of1.5 of which 55.2% were females.71.2% and 61.4% students had correct knowledge regarding intervalbetween blood donation for males and females respectively but the knowledge regarding common causesof deferral was less. Posters and pamphlets were the most common sources of information regarding blooddonation.92.6% students had a good attitude towards blood donation. 127 (25.4%) students had donatedblood previously and 17 (3.4%) of them had donated blood more than once in a year.Conclusion: The students had a fair knowledge about VBD and the majority had a favourable attitudetowards it. Steps should be taken to increase the awareness regarding VBD since early sensitisation towardsits importance can motivate students to become voluntary blood donors, making them major contributorsto the blood donor pool throughout their adulthood and help in overcoming blood shortage in the country.

Abstract

Background: Balance impairment is one of the most prevalent concern with increasing age. Globally, Onein five older adult experiences balance problem. Prevalence of fall has been estimated at 14-53 %in India.Various intervention has already been use to prevent fall and improve quality of life. Static StabilizationExercises and Progressive Strength training have proven to be effective as a single intervention howeverminimal literature is available on combined effect of both. The main objective of study is to find out efficacyof combined Static Stabilization Exercises and Progressive Resistive Exercises on balance and quality of lifeof elderly population and also establishment of dose response relationship of balance training.Methods/Design: The study will be designed as experimental study. 100 participants will be selected asper inclusion and exclusion criteria and will be allocated in two groups, Combined Intervention Group (A)and Traditional Balance Intervention group (B). Both intervention include 30-45 min session which will becarried out 3-5 times in week for duration of 8 weeks structured into different components. Outcome will beBalance and Quality of Life and outcome measures will be evaluated at baseline, at midway (4th week) andat the end (8th week) of intervention period. Statistical Analysis will be done using SPSS24. Oversion andp<0.005 will be considered as level of significance.Discussion: The study protocol details two Physiotherapy Interventions to improve balance and qualityof life in elderly population. In current literatures there are minimal evidence on combined effect of StaticStabilization Exercises and Progressive Resistive Exercises on balance and quality of life.
