Background: Newborn screening (NBS) is the test used to diagnosis the metabolic and other disorders within 72 h of birth. The early identification of the disorder helps in early treatment which prevents neonates from life-threatening health problem, mental retardation, and serious lifelong disabilities. Objectives: Universal NBS using heel-prick dried blood spot (DBS) samples has become an integral part of public health system in developed countries. There are about 99.9% of newborns that are screened every year in western countries. Whereas, in India the less 1% of newborns are screened due to the ignorance and not knowing the importance of NBS. Very few states in India had started the program in government. Awareness among the professionals and public about the NBS has to be created and extended. Materials and Methods: The Newborn DBS samples were received from Government Vellore Medical College Hospital, Government Hospitals at Tirupattur, Gudiyatham and 104 primary health centers. Samples should be collected within 72 h from the newborn. Screening of human thyroid-stimulating hormones, 17-OHP, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, Galactose, and IRT are done using the Enzyme Immunoassay (EIA) method using their respective conjugate, Conjugate Diluent, Substrate solution TMB Chromogen, washing solution 10 ×, 1 × 50 ml Stopping solution and measured using micro plate photometer. Point of care testing (POCT) requires only 1 drop (10 μL) of blood from the pricked heel of the baby, and it can be performed 510 min at bedside. Results: NBS is done using the EIA method which reports between 8 and 12 days. Comparing point of care (POCT) with EIA, the results of POCT are compatible and satisfactory and it completes in 5 days. Conclusion: The proper implementation of point of care testing will help to identify the positive cases early and prevents the baby from permanent disability.
背景:新生儿筛查(NBS)是用于诊断出生72小时内代谢和其他疾病的检查。这种疾病的早期识别有助于早期治疗，从而防止新生儿出现危及生命的健康问题、智力迟钝和严重的终身残疾。目的:采用足跟刺干血斑(DBS)样本进行全民血检已成为发达国家公共卫生系统的重要组成部分。在西方国家，每年约有99.9%的新生儿接受筛查。然而，在印度，由于无知和不知道国家统计局的重要性，只有不到1%的新生儿接受了筛查。印度很少有邦在政府中启动了这个项目。专业人士和公众对国家统计局的认识必须建立和扩大。材料与方法:新生儿DBS样本来自政府Vellore医学院医院、Tirupattur、Gudiyatham的政府医院和104个初级卫生中心。应在72小时内从新生儿身上采集样本。人促甲状腺激素、17-OHP、葡萄糖-6-磷酸脱氢酶、半乳糖和IRT的筛选采用酶免疫分析法(EIA)，分别使用它们各自的偶联物、偶联稀释剂、底物溶液TMB显色剂、洗涤液10 ×、停止液1 × 50 ml进行筛选，并用微板光度计进行测定。POCT (Point of care testing)只需从婴儿刺破的足跟处滴1滴(10 μL)血，可在床边进行5 ~ 10分钟。结果:国家统计局采用EIA方法，报告时间为8 - 12天。点疗(POCT)与环评(EIA)比较，结果一致，满意，在5天内完成。结论:正确实施“护理点”检测有助于早期发现阳性病例，防止婴儿终身残疾。

Carcinoma of the fallopian tube accounts for 0.3% of all cancers of the female genital tract1. There has been a rapidly increasing body of evidence supporting the fallopian tube as the site of origin of high grade serous ovarian cancer. This case report describes 37 years old female with known case of hypothyroidism who presented with pain abdomen which was diffuse, progressive. On examination, there was hard irregular mass around umbilicus. She was then subjected to further investigations and was taken for staging laparotomy. During surgery, specimens were sent for histopathological examination at Rohilkhand Medical College and Hospital, Bareilly. Histopathological examination revealed the diagnosis of primary fallopian tube carcinoma (PFTC). This case is unique since we started it as a case of bilateral ovarian mass but histology revealed it to be a PFTC.

Background: Despite promising medical advancements and treatment, cancer is still a significant threat to our society. Hence, this study is undertaken to evade severe public health issues related to cancers. Objectives: The aim of the study was to increase the awareness among the general population in field practice areas about risk factors of prevalent cancers and its prevention with the following objectives: (1) To determine the types of highly prevalent cancers among the patients attending Government General Hospital (GGH), Kurnool. (2) To know the public awareness about risk factors and prevention of cancers. (3) To educate the population about risk factors of prevalent cancers and their prevention. Materials and Methods: Study design: Information collected from January 1, 2014, to April 30, 2014, from the Department of Radiotherapy, GGH, Kurnool, to reveal the districts morbidity pattern, the predominant type of cancers, followed by a community-based cross-sectional study to assess population awareness. Permissions from Institutional Ethics Committee and Head of the Department of Radiotherapy was obtained before starting of the study. Informed consent was taken from the study participants in the community. Statistics: Data analyzed using Microsoft Excel 2007, presented results in the form of percentages and proportions. Results: The predominant types of cancers identified were cervical, breast, and lung cancers based on information collected from 81 registered cases. The community-based cross-sectional study revealed meager public awareness about cervical cancer, the importance of Pap smear testing, and self-breast examination in both rural and urban field practice areas. Conclusions: Educational intervention was conducted to increase public awareness about cervical cancer, the importance of Pap smear testing, and self-breast examination.
