Impact of Prime Minister Ujjwala Yojana on ocular trauma in the tribal belt of India

We wanted to study the impact of Ujjwala yojana on ocular injuries caused by the use of wooden sticks during cooking. This is a retrospective cohort study. We retrieved the data from the electronic medical record (EMR) of ocular injuries caused by the use of wooden sticks during cooking before and after launching of Pradhanmantri Ujjwala yojana, a government of India flagship program, in which free LPG connections are given to below poverty line (BPL) families. We collected the data regarding ocular injuries caused by the use of wooden sticks during cooking. During our study, period 8,17,336 new LPG connections were provided under this scheme in the study population. We enrolled 3261 ocular injury cases; of which, 171 (5.3%) eyes were found to have ocular injuries because of using wooden sticks during cooking. We divided ocular injury cases that are caused by the use of wooden sticks during cooking into two groups: before and after launching of the Ujjwala yojana. We found that the number of eyes injured before and after the launch of the scheme are 93 (54%) and 78 (45%), respectively. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant (p=0.000). Ujjwala Yojana is beneficial in reducing ocular injuries caused by the use of wooden sticks during cooking.

Biomarkers- Emerging applications of biomarkers in healthcare

Biomarkers are a small protein or peptide molecules which are part of cell receptors, cell signaling molecules involved in cell-cell signaling or cell protein kinase activation and transfer of the signal to the nucleus with the regulation of gene transcription. Biomarkers have functional significance in the recognition of different stages of cancer, therapy for cancer, and the identification of different types of cancer of different organs according to the biomarker present. It is also used for the diagnosis and analysis of mutations in various proteins and identification of single nucleotide polymorphism in genes, screening of diseases, classification of diseases in humans and development of target inhibitor molecules against the biomarkers. Various other studies have indicated the presence of autoantibodies against proteins of the cells which act as biomarkers in different grades of cancer and autoimmune response.

Comparative study of different codes on steel building

The paper mainly focuses on the comparison of two different code that is IS code is IS800: 2007 (LSM), IS 875: 1987 part (I, II, and III) and AISC LRFD code for a conventional industrial steel building. It’s a case study for the industrial building based on the review and the various case studies which show their experimental and analytical study carried out in this field. Different structural design code provides different data and procedure of design to engineering. Comparisons of the different factor with the same loading. To conduct the study a 3D model of Industrial building having dimension 15mX45m, 20mX50m, 23mX65mwith three different spacing that is (4.5m,5m,6m); (5m,6m,7m); (5m,6m,7m) having column height 6m is designed and analyzed on STADD-Pro V8i structural design software.

Post-operative fever

Post-operative fever is common and occurs in about 30% of patients. Non-Infectious causes are more common and occur usually in the first 24 hours while infectious causes can occur anytime. The presentation of infectious and non-infectious cause is almost the same and it is important to know the cause of fever so as to investigate and treat the patient in minimum cost yet in an effective manner.

Fistulotomy or LIFT: Which has better outcome in management of intersphincteric and low transphincteric fistula-in-ano– A randomized prospective study

Anal Fistula in ano is an abnormal connection between ano-rectum and the perianal skin. It is a common condition with a prevalence of 12 to 28/100,000 of population per year. There are many techniques to manage this condition. The aim of each surgery is to prevent recurrence and anal incontinence with early healing with decreased post-operative morbidity. LIFT and Fistulotomy are common types of surgery used in the management of Fistula in ano. This aim of this study is to compare the outcomes of the two procedures LIFT and Fistulotomy in cases of Intersphincteric and Low Trans-sphincteric fistulas primarily in term of healing, infection, recurrence, and anal incontinence. This prospective study was carried out in the Department of Surgery at North Delhi Municipal Corporation Medical College and Hindu Rao Hospital, Delhi between April 2017 and November 2017. A total of 50 cases were taken up and assigned either procedure randomly. Patients with recurrent fistulas, complex fistulas, high fistulas, fistulas with more than one external openings and fistulas due to secondary causes (Koch’s, Crohn’s Malignancy, post-radiation) and those with systemic diseases such as diabetes, HIV, immunosuppressive conditions were excluded. The patients were followed up for maximum 12 months studying recurrence, incontinence and post-operative morbidity. Of 50 patients 45 were males and 5 females all presenting with a history of recurrent perianal discharge. All patients underwent clinical examination, digital fistulogram, trans anal USG (12 patients) and/or MR Fistulogram to assess the characteristics of the fistula. 22 patients underwent LIFT and 28 underwent Fistulotomy. 25 patients were followed up for 3 months and rest for 2 months. There was recurrence in 4 patients (3 in LIFTand one in fistulotomy), unhealed sinus in 10 patients (7 in LIFT and 3 in fistulotomy) which required re-surgery. No patients had incontinence and 15 patients (10 –LIFT and 5- Fistulotomy) had delayed healing (4 to 6 wks).

Role of contemporary therapy in treatment of dysmenorrhea

Dysmenorrhea affects women during reproductive years and is a cause of frequent absenteeism. Conventionally dysmenorrhea has been treated by NSAIDS and oral contraceptives. They have a failure rate of >15% and are limited by side effects and may be contraindicated in others. People have used contemporary therapies for several years to relieve pain during menses and associated symptoms. These therapies include herbal therapy, heat, yoga, and physiotherapy. Each one of them is effective in relieving pain during menses and effects are almost comparable to NSAIDS and have fewer side effects. Further research is required to recommend them as first-line treatment in dysmenorrhea.
