Introduction: A plethora of factors are involved in the process of wound healing; amongst them nutritional status of the patient is highly considered for fast recovery in the postoperative period. Literature shows that preoperative serum albumin levels can determine & impact postoperative complications in patients undergoing emergency laparotomy. Therefore, early detection & intervention is highly recommended. A retrospective study data consisting of 69 patients collected o Methods: ver 8 months amongst those who underwent emergency exploratory laparotomy due to perforation and small and large bowel obstruction was collected. Preoperative serum albumin levels & postoperative complications such as delayed wound healing (>7 days), surgical site infections on 5th day, anastomotic leak, enterocutaneous stula (>7 days), wound dehiscence and prolonged hospital stay (>5 days) were noted & analysed statistically. (P<0.001) Results: Majority of the subjects were in the age group of 18-29 years accounting for 30.4% with 63.8% being males. Also, 68.1% patients had albumin levels >3.5g/dl. The mean duration of hospital stay & duration of surgery was found to be 14.11 days & 175.51 mins respectively. The most common procedures performed were primary closure (32%) & resection anastomosis (52.2%). Patients with <3.5g/dl reported complications such as death (4), surgical site infection (21), anastomic leak (2), enterocutaneous stula (2), and increased hospital stay (1). Conclusion: Preoperative serum albumin levels can be used to determine & reduce complications in the postoperative period while reducing the morbidity and mortality levels by early intervention

Background: Many scoring systems exist to predict operative difculty and outcomes of laparoscopic cholecystectomy in acute cholecystitis. In elective laparoscopy where ambulatory/ outpatient surgery is considered, few studies are available. Neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) can be used as an effective pre-operative predictive marker in elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy. A single center prospective observational study was done over a period of one year Materials and Methods: in 72 patients undergoing elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Only those patients with predicted easy/ moderate laparoscopic cholecystectomy were included. NLR ≥ 3 was considered high. Intraoperative and postoperative outcomes were studied in normal and high NLR patients. Results: Normal neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) was noted in 46 patients (63.9%) and high NLR (≥ 3) in 26 patients (36.1%). Rates of previous cholecystitis/ cholangitis and ERCP with stenting were similar in both groups. Mean G10 intra-operative score was 1.98 (easy group) in normal NLR group vs 3 (moderate group) in high NLR group (p <0.05). None of the patients who participated in the study needed conversion to open procedure or had adverse intra-operative outcomes. Post-operatively, patients with normal NLR had signicantly low pain score at day 1 compared to high NLR group (1.91 vs 4.5; p <0.001). Patients with high NLR also had signicantly increased length of hospital stay (1.19 days in normal NLR vs 2.77 days in high NLR, p <0.001). Positive predictive value (PPV) of high NLR in estimating hospitalization post-surgery of more than 1 day is 92.3%. Pre-operative NLR can be used as a cost-effective and useful tool in pred Conclusion: icting outcomes in elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy, even in carefully selected group of patients. In settings of outpatient cholecystectomy, this will help in decision making and patient selection.

Objective:1. To study the clinical prole & laboratory diagnostic ndings in severe Dengue fever cases. 2. To compare the pattern of organ involvement with severe Dengue Fever (DF) cases admitted in 2023-2024. Materials and Methods: This Descriptive Longitudinal Study, conducted at a tertiary care center in India, focused on severe dengue cases admitted between January 2023 and May 2024. Group A comprised 54 patients, where detailed history-taking and clinical examinations were performed to evaluate severity and complications. Data analysis encompassed the period from January 2023 to May 2024 for Group A. Comparison was made with Group B, consisting of 53 severe dengue cases from 2021-2022, to assess the pattern of organ involvement using identical inclusion and exclusion criteria. Informed consent was obtained from patients or relatives, with data collection conducted via structured clinical Performa. Routine and special investigations were carried out, including NS1Ag and IgM Dengue detection using government-supplied kits. Both Group A and Group B showed a male predominance (61% and 68% respectiv Results: ely) and were primarily aged 18 to 30 years (70% and 60% respectively). While presenting symptoms were similar, Group A exhibited higher prevalence of cough, difculty breathing, convulsions, and petechiae. Hemorrhagic manifestations were more frequent in Group A (40%). Thrombocytopenia was universal, with 72% of Group A and 78% of Group B cases having platelet counts below 50,000 /cu mm. Elevated SGOT and SGPT levels were seen in 13% and 6% of Group A cases respectively. Pleural effusion and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) were more common in Group A on chest X-ray. Dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) I was more prevalent in Group B (72%), while DHF II-IV were more common in Group A. Complications such as coagulopathy, acute renal failure, ARDS, and hepatitis were more frequent in Group A. The mortality rate was higher in Group A (9%) compared to Group B (6%). In summary, our study underscores the wide range of Conclusions: symptoms and complications seen in severe dengue cases, from mild fever to life-threatening organ failure. We noted a higher occurrence among young adult males aged 18-30. Between 2023-2024, there was a rise in severe complications such as serositis, thrombocytopenia, and hepatic, respiratory, renal, and neurological issues. Dengue shock syndrome and hemorrhagic fever had notably higher mortality rates during this period, emphasizing the importance of vigilant management to address severe dengue infections effectively
目的：1.研究重症登革热病例的临床le 和实验室诊断ndings。2.比较2023-2024年收治的重症登革热（DF）病例的器官受累模式。材料与方法：这项描述性纵向研究在印度的一家三级医疗中心进行，主要针对 2023 年 1 月至 2024 年 5 月期间收治的重症登革热病例。A 组包括 54 名患者，对他们进行了详细的病史采集和临床检查，以评估病情严重程度和并发症。数据分析涵盖了 A 组 2023 年 1 月至 2024 年 5 月期间的情况，并与 B 组（包括 2021-2022 年期间的 53 例严重登革热病例）进行了比较，采用相同的纳入和排除标准来评估器官受累的模式。在获得患者或其亲属的知情同意后，采用结构化临床表格进行数据收集。进行了常规和特殊检查，包括使用政府提供的试剂盒检测登革热 NS1Ag 和 IgM。A 组和 B 组均以男性为主（分别占 61% 和 68% 结果：男性占多数），年龄主要在 18 至 30 岁之间（分别占 70% 和 60%）。虽然出现的症状相似，但 A 组出现咳嗽、呼吸困难、抽搐和瘀斑的比例较高。出血性表现在 A 组更常见（40%）。血小板减少是普遍现象，72% 的 A 组和 78% 的 B 组病例的血小板计数低于 50,000 / 立方毫米。分别有 13% 和 6% 的 A 组病例出现 SGOT 和 SGPT 水平升高。胸部 X 光检查显示，胸腔积液和急性呼吸窘迫综合征（ARDS）在 A 组病例中更为常见。并发症如凝血功能障碍、急性肾功能衰竭、急性呼吸窘迫综合征和肝炎在 A 组更常见。总之，我们的研究强调了严重登革热病例的各种结论：症状和并发症，从轻度发热到危及生命的器官衰竭。我们注意到 18-30 岁的年轻男性发病率较高。2023-2024 年间，血清炎、血小板减少症、肝脏、呼吸系统、肾脏和神经系统问题等严重并发症的发病率有所上升。在此期间，登革休克综合征和出血热的死亡率明显升高，这强调了警惕性管理对有效解决严重登革热感染的重要性。

Religiosity is a formal institutional, and has been considered as facilitating personality development. Research evinced a positive role that religion plays in mental health relating to depression (Pearce, Little, & Perez, 2003), preventing suicide and helping recovery from suicidal thoughts (Morriss et al., 2005) with lower suicide rates (Stack 1983) among adolescents. Researchers have brought evidence for the positive and negative role that religion plays in health relating to mood disorders, personality disorders, and psychiatric disorders. Religious beliefs are increasingly being considered in psychotherapy to improve service and the effectiveness of treatment. Psychotherapists utilize religious practices and principles in therapy, such as prayer, forgiveness, and grace. Brown suggests that "our biases can only be suspended to the extent to which they are no longer our biases" (Brown, 2017). Women are more religious than men (Walter & Davie 1998; Trzebiatowska & Bruce 2012). Understanding the function of religiosity is much needed for clinical practice in relieving suffering and helping people to live more fullling lives (Moreira-Almeida et al., 2006).

Hydatid disease is a zoonosis caused by the transmission of the larval stage of Echinococcus granulosus (dog tapeworm) either by consuming contaminated food and water or due to hand to mouth transmission from infested animals or partially cooked meat. Humans are the accidental host. Hydatid cyst of ovary is an extremely rare presentation accounting for 0.2-1% of all cases. A 47- year-old woman presented to the surgery department of Owaisi Group of Hospitals (PEH) with a chief complaint of abdominal pain for 1 week. USG examination revealed bilateral simple ovarian cysts and CT scan ndings showed bilateral complex ovarian cysts. Routine investigations were normal. Surgery was performed for suspected ovarian cyst. The cysts were extracted and sent for HPE which conrmed the diagnosis of hydatid ovarian cyst. The incidence of hydatid cyst in the female reproductive system is less than 0.5% of all cases. The clinician must have a high index of suspicion whenever cystic lesions of pelvis are found as any spillage while operating may lead to anaphylactic shock and recurrence.

The unanticipated and incidental discovery of intestinal malrotation during radical cystectomy can generate few queries regarding the anatomic construction of the urinary diversion and can be a dilemma for the operating urologist. We describe such a case in which we navigated this anatomic surprise with simplicity and avoided unnecessary additional surgical manoeuvres, thus proving the feasibility of conventional anatomic approach to conduit creation in such an unforeseen situation.

Drava Sweda is a sudation procedure carried out with hot liquid. In this procedure, medicated water should be lled into a pot, jug with spout, or a tube and poured comfortably over the painful parts covered with cloth. It is considered as Bahirparimarjan Chikitsa and it comes under Shadaupakrama (Six treatment modalities), Swedana Karma is not just providing heat to the body, but the amount of heat is mentioned in the management of various diseases caused by Vata-Kapha Doshas. Parisheka Sweda is a type of Drava Sweda. Acharya Charak mentioned it in Sagni Sweda, which can be applied as Ekanga (over a body part) or Sarvanga (whole body). Avabahuka 1 (Frozen shoulder) due to vitiated Vata, Swedana helps to relieve the pain and stiffness. Avagaha Sweda is one such important Swedana practice 2 which is mentioned in Sagni Sweda by Acharya Charak. The word 'Avagaha' means dipping, immerse. Swedana means -sudation, steaming, sweating, of body parts in warm medicated Kwath or Tail, Ghrita, Sneha, etc kept in a large tub is called as 'Avagaha Sweda. It is more benecial in the condition like complication of Basti , Haemorrhoids, ssure in Ano etc.

This study aims to understand the consumption patterns of milk and selected milk products in the Mumbai Metropolitan region. 1060 participants were interviewed about their milk consumption patterns including type of milk, frequency of consumption, amount consumed per day, attitudes towards milk products, and awareness and opinions regarding A1/A2 milk. 94.2% of participants were milk consumers, their average daily intake being 220±91ml. Only 5.8% of participants did not consume milk, primarily due to personal dislike. Among consumers, 57.3% consumed cow milk and 27.1% consumed buffalo milk. 88.7% of participants opined that milk is healthy. However, some consumers expressed concerns about milk adulteration. Of all, only 21.8% knew about A1/A2 milk but most could not provide details. These ndings indicate an overall positive attitude of consumers towards milk and its continued inclusion in diets. Further studies and denitive steps are needed to resolve consumers' concerns about A1/A2 milk and milk adulteration.

The Chhattisgarh state is considered as the “Rice Bowl of India” and the crop rice is a part of an ancient plant of agronomic importance globally. Around one-third of the global population relies on rice. The soil of the paddy eld is an inhabitant of several microbial biomes due to the richness of organic matter and minerals. The nutritional enrichment of the soil system is directly correlated with microbial growth, especially mycoora. The present study revealed that the dominant fungal species were Neosartorya fischeri, Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus fumigatus, Aspergillus oryzae, and Penicillium notatum were observed in the rice crop elds of Basajhal, Kota, Bilaspur, Chhattisgarh. This research could further be extended to explore the importance of each fungal strain in nutrient recycling in the soil system.

Peritonsillar Abscess occurs due to accumulution of pus in Peritonsillar space, between the pharyngeal tonsil and the Superior Constrictor muscle. Although it is known to occur unilaterally, a bilateral presentation may occur. Patient may present with a mufed voice, medial displacement of uvula, Trismus, Odynophagia or Upper airway obstruction. Although it is diagnosed clinically, a Contrast Enhanced CT scan of neck remains a gold standard imaging modality for an accurate diagnosis. The disease is managed by Incision and Drainage of the abscess along with administration of Systemic Antibiotics. In recurrent cases, the patient may need Interval Tonsillectomy after conservative management of 6 weeks.
