A rare phenomenon of HZ occurring concurrently in two non-contiguous dermatomes involving different halves of the body is termed herpes zoster duplex bilateralis (HZDB), with incidence < 0.5%, associated with a decline in cellular immunity,primary/acquired immunodeciencies,and immunosuppressants. Due to decreased cell-mediated immunity, immunocompromised patients have a 20-fold increased risk for HZ, occurring at low CD4 count with atypical manifestations. A 49-year-old male had HZ on the right ank with extension to back, erythematous nodules, and plaques arranged in a dermatomal pattern extending from the left angle of mouth to the left temple for two days with pain and fever. Biopsy from the nodule showed acanthosis, intraepidermal vesiculation caused due to ballooning degeneration at the base of the vesicle and neutrophils in the dermis s/o HZ. HIV and HBsAG were reactive. Simultaneous reactivation of VZV in multiple noncontiguous dermatomes requires an immunocompromised milieu, also immunosuppressed patients have atypical presentations. Such patients should undergo a complete immune status evaluation.

Background:One of the major concerns of today's medical education is the lack of basic clinical skill and over dependence on investigations among new generation tech savvy doctors. In this study we want to explore the perspective of new generation doctors about the relevance of clinics in present day medical practice. The objecti OBJECTIVES: ve of the study was to investigate the causes of the dominance of technology over the basic clinical skills in present day medical practice and to nd out the perceived solutions of this problem. This study was performed among resident doctors of different clinical bran Materials And Methods: ches working in a tertiary health care centre of Eastern India. The study comprised of in-depth interviews and focussed group discussions. The interviews were audio recorded and later transcripted. Data analysis was done through deductive approach. Results were reviewed by all the authors. The Results: overdependence on technologies among the new generation doctors are nothing but the reection of changing socioeconomic trends in modern day world. The principal causes are hyposkillia of doctors, commercialization of medical practice, pressure from patient's side, overuse of google knowledge & excessive misuse of legal means in the name of consumer protection act. Problem is multifactorial and a combined and sustained effort is needed for the solution. Lack of clinical skill leads to overdependence on technologies, t Conclusion: hat translates into excessive high treatment cost and poor patient outcome. Improvement of the clinical skills among present generation doctors can reduce the intensity of the problem.

Background: Bacterial contamination in food originates from diverse sources, including humans and processing equipment, and often increases during storage, thereby affecting the food quality. Traditional methods for bacterial enumeration involve time-consuming processes, whereas newer techniques such as biosensors offer quicker alternatives at higher costs. Portable culture devices (PCD) have emerged as practical solutions for addressing the need for on-site testing, particularly in resource-limited settings. This study aimed to standardize the use of PCDs to semi-quantify microorganisms in food samples. Via Methods: ble organisms were successfully semi-quantitatively enumerated using enzyme-chromogenic substrate interactions. The de Results: vice, optimized at a substrate -1 concentration of 1 gL and a temperature of 28°C, can detect cell counts of up to 10 CFU/mL. Tests co Conclusion: nducted on experimentally contaminated food samples, in addition to independent on-site detection without the requirement of typical laboratory facilities, demonstrate the feasibility of Portable Culture Devices (PCDs) as substitutes for conventional culture-based detection methods. They are appropriate for on-thespot testing in areas with limited resources because they are cost-effective and simple.

Microbial biolm is the polymeric matrix formed by coordinated assembly of species of similar or different microorganisms. The bacteria in form of biolms are more resistant to drugs than compared to their planktonic counterparts, hence making it difcult to deal with biolm-associated nosocomial and medical device infections. Around $11 billion is annual expenditure reported to be employed in healthcare to deal with biolm infections but the success rates are very low. Studies on natural anti-biolm agents from the last two decades notably demonstrated their biolm modulation properties. Therefore, present state of affairs demands active pursual for non-toxic natural anti-biolm agents. In this mini-review article, we summarize green anti-biolm agents: antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), phytochemicals, biosurfactants, nanoparticles, and weak organic acids (WOA) with a brief note on their mode of action.

Background- Assisting women in maintaining recommended inter-pregnancy intervals is a critical concern for maternal-child health. Centchroman, a non-steroidal selective oestrogen receptor modulator, and postpartum intrauterine contraceptive device (PPIUCD) is commonly used to provide long-term reversible contraception. To have knowledge regarding acceptance and continuation of Centchroman versus PPIUCD among women's of Uttar Pradesh, India this study was carried out. To nd out Objective-1- sociodemographic factors affecting selection for centchroman and PPIUCD among postnatal women's. 2-Compare the side effects and compliance of PPIUCD versus centchroman pills in postnatal women.3- Compare the satisfaction of PPIUCD versus centchroman pills in postnatal women. A Prospective study was conducted in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Material and Methods: KGMU, Lucknow. Total of 200 womens were enrolled in the study. They were further divided into two groups, i.e., Group-A consenting for PPIUCD use and Group-B consenting for using Centchroman. These women were followed at intervals of 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months and one year after delivery and were investigated for their socio demographic variables, side effects, continuation rate and satisfaction from contraceptive used. Conclusion: Acceptance for PPIUCD was found more in less educated , lower socioeconomic class, unemployed, after caeserian section, and residing in rural areas women's. Acceptance for centrchroman was more in educated , middle socioeconomic class, employed, after normal delivery and women's residing in urban area. Continuation rate for centchroman was higher. There was no statistical signicant difference regarding menstrual abnormalities in both groups, menorrhagia was found statistically signicantly higher in centchroman using group, satisfaction and continuation was found higher in PPIUCD using women's .

Aim: - Methodology:- To study common musculoskeletal problems in Workers of the Mat Industry. A cross sectional survey was conducted on 100 plastic industry workers by administering the Cornell Musculoskeletal Discomfort Questionnaire (CMDQ) to quantify the musculoskeletal pain. Additionally, a self-designed questionnaire was given out to gather data on the different musculoskeletal issues that the employees experienced, risk factors associated with their jobs, different postures they maintained, and daily activities they engaged in. A total of 100 participants were analysed in this study. Individua Results:- ls aged 20 to 30 appear to experience discomfort primarily in the knee (18.5%) and foot (19.2) areas, while those aged 31 to 40 report notable discomfort in the knee (24.5%) and foot (20.1%). In the 41 to 50 age group, lower back (19.3%) and knee (22.9%) discomfort are particularly prominent and awkward postures were highly associated with musculoskeletal disorders. The most often affected body part was the knee, w Conclusion: - hich was followed by the lower back, foot, and shoulder. The majority of the workforce was expected to perform duties that frequently required bending and prolonged sitting, which has led to a high frequency of musculoskeletal problems associated with the workplace in this population. The research ndings indicate that the adoption of ergonomic intervention strategies in the workplace has the potential to eradicate ergonomic risks and reduce the likelihood of musculoskeletal illnesses associated with labour.
