Drug resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae causes nosocomial infections, pneumonia, wound sepsis and infections of newborns and intensive care patients. In many cases antibiotics are no longer very effective in patients treated for K. pneumoniae infections. Various studies have shown antimicrobial properties of essential oils and different compounds that are part of them. This study aimed to determine the antibacterial efficacy and minimum inhibitory concentration of the Mentha piperita essential oil against resistant strain of K. pneumoniae. Efficiency of peppermint oil when used with antibiotics in wound management as well as controlling K. pneumoniae infection was also investigated in this study. Well diffusion method was used to determine the antibacterial activity of peppermint oil, where its inhibitory capacity was observed along with antibiotics and compared with control. Bacterial load of K. pneumonia OXA48 resistant strain on wound in rat models was also studied and compared. Klebsiella pneumoniae OXA48 and K. pneumoniae ATCC 700603 were inhibited by effectively by 40 µl/ml of peppermint oil in well diffusion assays. In rat models the wounds were healed, and epithelization was quicker in 10% peppermint oil treated wounds. Wounds applied with a combination of peppermint oil and Imipenem were more effectively protected from infection and showed better healing as well. Peppermint oil depicted both inhibitory capacities against K. pneumonia OXA48 and promoted wound healing as well. Further studies regarding PMO and its efficacy in wound management as well as its associated molecular mechanism would provide better understanding regarding its potential.

Background: Enteral nutrition (EN) is the administration of a nutritionally complete feed through a tube into the stomach, duodenum, or jejunum. It has been proposed that EN helps to maintain the health and integrity of the gut barrier and is connected to increased levels of immunoglobulin synthesis, which may help to boost defenses against respiratory infections. However, critically ill patients may have a poor tolerance for enteral feeding and may develop unpleasant gastrointestinal effects such as nausea and vomiting. Aim: To investigate at the incidence between enteral nutrition and the risk of pneumonia in intensive care unit patients. Methods: This is an updated review of research that were published between 2016 and 2018. To research our topic, we employed the Google Scholar, Web of Science, and PubMed databases. The keywords used in various combinations included "enteral nutrition, feeding, incidence, aspiration, pneumonia, adults, ICU." In addition, original research on the relationship between entreat feeding and the risk of pneumonia in critically ill individuals was reviewed. The inclusion criterion was full-text publications. Results: Despite obtaining 17 papers, only three research met the inclusion requirements. All of the research were conducted in the past. The study included 413 adult patients in the intensive care unit. Conclusion: In critically ill people, enteral feeding was related with a lower risk of aspiration pneumonia and overall infections. Enteral feeding was found to be safe and effective for critically ill patients, with no major problems.
背景:肠内营养(EN)是指通过一根管子将营养完全的饲料注入胃、十二指肠或空肠。有人提出，EN有助于维持肠道屏障的健康和完整性，并与免疫球蛋白合成水平的提高有关，这可能有助于增强对呼吸道感染的防御。然而，危重病人对肠内喂养的耐受性可能较差，并可能出现恶心和呕吐等不愉快的胃肠道反应。目的:探讨重症监护病人肠内营养与肺炎发生风险的关系。方法:这是对2016年至2018年发表的研究的最新综述。为了研究我们的主题，我们使用了Google Scholar、Web of Science和PubMed数据库。在各种组合中使用的关键词包括“肠内营养、喂养、发病率、误吸、肺炎、成人、ICU”。此外，对危重患者恳求性喂养与肺炎风险关系的原始研究进行了综述。纳入标准为全文出版物。结果:虽然获得了17篇论文，但只有3篇研究符合纳入要求。所有的研究都是在过去进行的。该研究包括重症监护病房的413名成年患者。结论:在危重患者中，肠内喂养与吸入性肺炎和整体感染的风险较低有关。发现肠内喂养对危重患者安全有效，无重大问题。

Background: Cancer is one of the most dreaded human diseases, that has become an ever-increasing health problem and is a prime cause of death globally. Munga, also known as Moringa oleifera Lam., is one of the most significant plants grown extensively in India. This plant, Moringa oleifera Lam, is used extensively as a dietary supplement and has valuable pharmacological properties including anti-asthmatic, anti-diabetic, hepatoprotective, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, antimicrobial, anti-oxidant, cardiovascular, anti-ulcer, CNS activity, anti-allergic, wound healing, analgesic, and antipyretic action. This plant has great therapeutic properties in every area. It is a good source of milk protein, vitamin A, and vitamin C. Alkaloids, protein, quinine, saponins, flavonoids, tannin, steroids, glycosides, fixed oil, and lipids are only a few examples of the several active phytoconstituents that are present. Aim: The current work sought to elucidate the molecular basis for Niazinin A antiproliferative activity against the VEGF-1 & AURKA, which functions as a proinflammatory factor in proliferation. Method: A molecular docking method was employed in the current work to look for VEGFR-1 & AURKA protein inhibitors. The binding was determined by the Auto Dock software utilising a grid-based docking method. Results: The molecular docking result revealed that Niazinin A showed encouraging docking score. The docking score found to be -7& -6.11 for VEGF-1 & AURKA kcal mol–1 respectively. Conclusion: The interaction of ligand hits to targeted site and docking score finding it can be predicted that Niazinin A found in the plants Moringa exhibited good inhibitor of VEGF-1 & AURKA protein.

Health informatics systems are indispensable implements for cultivating the eminence and effectiveness of primary health care. Health informatics systems are formed of databases and figures regarding all clinical facilities. The utilization of health informatics systems helps both healthcare providers and patients in the management of disorders and disease risks and in developing well-being. However, there are a number of challenges to the application and practice of health informatics systems in the settings of primary health care. These challenges embrace; the absence of capital and money, the absence of technical skill, the absence of user recognition and approval, information quality problems, safety and confidentiality concerns, incorporation with other systems, and interoperability deficiency. Human, cultural, and financial barriers with deficiency of technical proficiency, deficiency of a relation between clinicians and patients, worries about information privacy, absence of administration guidelines, bureaucracy, lack of training, English language barrier, the degree of workload due to the time shortness during clinical settings, infrastructure concerns e.g. availability of the electricity, computers, and internet, also high turnover in IT among healthcare are also some challenges that should be addressed. These challenges can hold back the capacity of health informatics systems to comprehend their complete perspective in primary health care. To address these challenges, it is essential to provide sufficient capital and funds, offer practice and maintenance for users, overcome information quality concerns, apply safety and confidentiality procedures, incorporate health informatics systems with other systems, and endorse interoperability. By overcoming these challenges, health informatics systems can play a major role in developing the quality and efficiency of primary health care.

Scrub typhus is not a recent disease. This was prominent before the era of World War II. However, the disease is primarily prevalent in the Pacific Islands and southeast Asia. The symptoms begin with fever, eschar development, and a rash. As a result, diagnosing the disease has become more complex because comparable symptoms can be observed in a variety of other conditions. Therefore, proper diagnostic tests are required to diagnose the condition. Scrub typhus infections are increasing in India every year, and several states are reporting an increase in cases. The disease mostly affects the gastrointestinal system, nervous system, renal systems, and respiratory systems; however, mortality can be minimized with early diagnosis and adequate treatment. As many people in India are unaware of the condition, raising awareness will help in the saving of many lives.
