Background: Mosquito borne diseases affect many people globally and impede economic development. Plants are used for mosquito control since they are cost-effective, readily available and culturally acceptable. Objective: To investigate toxicological effects of plants use for mosquito control in Kenya’s south coast. Methods: Aqueous, acetone and hexane extract of L. camara (leaves), T. minuta (whole plant), A. indica (leaves), A. digitata (leaves), O. suave (whole plant) and P. barbatus (leaves) were tested for genotoxic potential using Allium cepa test. Acute dermal irritation and ocular toxicity were conducted as per OECD test guidelines. Results: There were significant differences among extracts and concentrations p<0.001. A. indica extracts showed a significant difference on root growth; P value for hexane was < 0.001, aqueous, 0.004 and acetone, 0.007. The roots were bent. A. indica showed most mitotic inhibition at concentration of 1mg/ml at 70.36±0.68 which was similar to vincristine sulphate. The least active was A. digitata at 1.42±0.68 at 0.125 mg/ml. Extracts of O. suave caused turgidity on the roots of Allium cepa. A. indica extracts had ghost cells(aqueous) and binucleate cells (acetone) while Aqueous extract of P. barbatus showed high cytoplasm to nucleus ratio. Conclusion: A. indica and P. barbatus extracts caused abnormal cells and it is possible for them to cause the same in human. None of the extracts exhibited dermal irritation or acute ocular toxicity. There was no significant change in weight of the test animals during the treatment period and there were no mortalities.

BACKGROUND: Dysmenorrhea, or painful menstruation, is common among young females and can significantly affect their well-being. This study aims to explore the potential relationship between junk food consumption and severity of dysmenorrhea in young females residing in Ahmedabad city. INTRODUCTION: Painful menstruation, or dysmenorrhea, is a widespread concern affecting many young females. The discomfort associated with dysmenorrhea can range from mild inconvenience to severe pain. It is understood that dysmenorrhea can be influenced by various factors, including hormonal changes and lifestyle choices. One lifestyle aspect that has attracted attention in recent years is dietary habits, particularly the consumption of junk food. This study, set in Ahmedabad city, aims to shed light on the potential impact of junk food consumption on dysmenorrhea in young females. METHODOLOGY: A total of 100 female participants aged 18-25 were enrolled in the Ahmedabad city for the study. Participants were selected according to inclusion criteria, and were made to fill questionnaires which dealt with menstrual history, dietary habit and dysmenorrhea. Questionnaire was circulated through Google form. The intensity of pain was rated on numeric pain rating scale (NPRS). RESULT: SPSS version 29 software was used for data analysis. For the correlation between junk food habit and dysmenorrhea spearman rho test was applied. (r = 0.898 and p = <0.001) CONCLUSION: There is a significant correlation between junk food habit and dysmenorrhea among young females. Thus, the study suggests that subjects with higher junk food habit have severe dysmenorrhea. Key words: Dysmenorrhea, Junk food, Numeric Pain Rating Scale.

Lumbar lordosis, the natural inward curvature of the lower spine, is essential for balance and mechanical stress distribution. Loss of lumbar lordosis, or hypolordosis, can adversely affect spinal flexibility and function. This study examines the biomechanical and functional impacts of reduced lumbar curvature to inform clinical practices. This cross-sectional study included 60 subjects divided into three groups based on lumbar lordosis (LL) angles: Group A (LL < 10°), Group B (10° ≤ LL < 20°), and Group C (LL ≥ 20°). Inclusion criteria included adults aged 20-65 years with diagnosed hypolordosis, excluding those with severe spinal conditions, recent major spinal surgery, neurological disorders, severe comorbidities, and pregnancy. Clinical evaluations involved medical history, physical examination, and questionnaires (Visual Analog Scale for pain, Oswestry Disability Index). Radiographic measurements, Sit-and-Reach test for flexibility, Timed Up and Go (TUG) test, and 6-Minute Walk Test (6MWT) were conducted. Data were analyzed using ANOVA and Pearson’s correlation coefficient. Significant differences were observed between the groups (p < 0.001). Group A had the highest pain (VAS: 7.2 ± 1.5), disability (ODI: 45 ± 10%), and lowest flexibility (Sit-and-Reach: 5.0 ± 2.5 cm) and functional capacity (TUG: 14.5 ± 2.0 seconds, 6MWT: 300 ± 50 meters). Group B showed intermediate values, while Group C had the lowest pain (VAS: 4.2 ± 1.0), disability (ODI: 25 ± 7%), and highest flexibility and functional capacity (Sit-and-Reach: 12.0 ± 3.5 cm, TUG: 9.5 ± 1.2 seconds, 6MWT: 400 ± 40 meters). Loss of lumbar lordosis significantly impacts spinal biomechanics and function, with greater loss linked to higher pain, disability, and reduced flexibility and function. Maintaining lumbar curvature is crucial for improving patient outcomes. Further research should explore long-term corrective interventions.

Porcupine quill injuries are known for their potential complications due to the sharp and barbed nature of the quills. We present rare and unusual case of a 50-year-old male who presented with persistent pain, swelling, and redness over the right inner border of his foot following an accidental injury involving Indian porcupine quills. After failed multiple attempts of self-removal of superficially embedded quills, imaging studies revealed a retained foreign body. Surgical exploration under local anesthesia revealed a long, sharp porcupine quill penetrating to the subcutaneous plane. The quill was successfully extracted, and meticulous wound care was performed. The patient tolerated the procedure well and was discharged with instructions for postoperative wound management. This case underscores the importance of prompt diagnosis, surgical intervention, and comprehensive wound care in managing injuries caused by porcupine quills to prevent complications and ensure optimal outcomes.

Background: Inflammation is now recognized as the seventh hallmark of cancer. Neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio holds promise as an adjunct biomarker in various cancers. Materials and methods: 32 biopsy-confirmed OSCC patients and 32 healthy controls were enrolled in this prospective case-control study and venous blood samples were obtained and CBC reports were thus used for analysis of various haematological parameters such as NLR, using t-test, and Mann-Whitney U test using STATA. Results: The median NLR was found to be raised in OSCC patients as compared to healthy controls and the difference was found to be statistically significant ((Median:3.83(2.31-5.56) vs. 2.14(1.80-2.66), p=0.0006) Conclusions : NLR can be used as a useful tool for clinicians as an adjunct biomarker for the prognostication and potentially help in the diagnosis of OSCC in screening. Future studies should include a larger sample size and should be longitudinal in nature as well as should explore differences in NLR in benign, premalignant and malignant cases. Key words: Neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio, biomarker, oral squamous cell carcinoma, cancer, hematological
背景：炎症现已被认为是癌症的第七大标志。材料与方法：这项前瞻性病例对照研究招募了 32 名经活检确诊的 OSCC 患者和 32 名健康对照者，并采集了静脉血样本和 CBC 报告，使用 t 检验和 STATA 的 Mann-Whitney U 检验分析 NLR 等各种血液学参数。结果：与健康对照组相比，OSCC 患者的 NLR 中位数升高，差异具有统计学意义（中位数：3.83(2.31-5.56) vs. 2.14(1.80-2.66), p=0.0006）：NLR可作为临床医生预后的辅助生物标志物，并有可能帮助筛查诊断OSCC。未来的研究应包括更大的样本量、纵向研究以及探讨良性、恶性前和恶性病例中 NLR 的差异：中性粒细胞-淋巴细胞比值 生物标志物 口腔鳞状细胞癌 癌症 血液学
