Introduction: Vector-borne diseases account for over 17% of all infectious diseases. Up to 700 million people are infected and more than a million die each year from mosquito-borne illness. The extent of people’s cooperation can determine the success or failure of the entire campaign for Mosquito control. Methods: A cross-sectional observational study was carried out in Kanyakumari district among 180 individuals selected through multi-stage sampling. Data was collected using a semi structured interview schedule. Results: Every one of the study participants knew that mosquitoes spread diseases. Dengue was the most common disease related to Mosquito. Among the respondents, 113(62.7%) answered that coconut shells most common mosquito breeding place. Coconut shells (66%) & Open drainages (61.1%) were reason for water stagnation inside & outside their own compound respectively. 71.1% have seen mosquito larva in stagnant water around their house and among them 75.8% have done something to kill larva. Most common method used was putting bleaching powder in the larva breeding places (39%) followed by source reduction (26.5%). Bleaching powder was also the most common method (57%) used for prevention of mosquito breeding. 78.9% of the households were using personal protective measures, mosquito coil (59.8%), the most commonly used method. Only 38.5% of them said that fogging was done in their area in past 6 months. Conclusion: A good proportion of the households are taking preventive measures, but still so many households lacks practice or found to be doing wrong practices. Therefore, we recommend that community should be empowered with the right & adequate knowledge.

Objective: To assess the prevalence, the various forms and the different correlates of tobacco consumption in the Urban Slums of Silchar, Assam. Materials and Methods: A crossectional study was conducted in the Urban slums of Silchar Assam from January 2016 to December 2016 among 714 individuals aged 15 years and above. The data were collected in a pre designed and pre tested schedule by interview method and house to house visit in the selected slum. Results: This study revealed that as high as 55.46 % individuals consumed tobacco in one form or the other. Chewing of tobacco was the most popular form of tobacco use (55.81%). Marked gender differences were noted with 70.11% of male used tobacco in comparison to 38.98% of female. Common reasons found for tobacco consumption were peer pressure (50.76%), Fun (35.35%), Curiosity (25.76%) and parents smoking habit (5.30%). Initiation to tobacco habit in majority (54.29%) began at 15 to 19 years of age. Majority (51.11%) of tobacco smoker used 11 to 15 numbers of cigarettes/ bidis daily and 25% spent Rupees 31 to 50 per day. Tobacco consumption was found higher in illiterates (58.20%), low socio-economic status (58.38%), schedule caste (57.18%) and daily wage earner (59.26%) population. The prevalence was seen decreased as the education level increased. 69.75% respondents were aware of tobacco related health hazards. Majority gathered their knowledge from media (58.23%) health personnel (30.12%), friends (15.16%) and family members (5.62%). Conclusion: It is observed from this study that among the slum population tobacco consumption was much higher and younger subject have started tobacco use relatively at an early age. So Anti tobacco Education and Health Awareness campaign etc. should be initiated right from the beginning of the primary school as a part of prevention and control strategies of tobacco use.

India has reported one of the highest snake bite mortality rates in the world. It is estimated that over 5 million persons per year are bitten by snakes of whom, over 1,00,000 survivors develop severe sequelae due to local wound complications. The adoption of harmful first aid practices like use of tourniquets or cutting and sucking the snake bite marks further complicates wound management. National Snake Bite Protocol has been issued in 2007, with technical support from WHO to institute proper management of snake bites. However, there is no evidence based guidelines for local wound management in snake envenomation. The local tissue problems at the bite site were effectively managed by timely administration of anti-snake venom and other supportive management in majority of patients. Cribari et al have graded the local signs of envenomation. Local tissue complications are most frequently seen with bite from Viperidae. Cytotoxic enzymes in viper venom cause proteolysis, lipolysis, blisters, necrosis and gangrene. Surgical management of snake bite has a significant role in preventing late sequelae and permanent disability due to snake bite wounds. The aim of surgical intervention will be radical removal of all devitalized tissues, followed by reconstructive procedures using skin grafts and flaps, to minimize functional loss and maximize rehabilitation. This paper explores the pathology of a snake bite wound and compiles the accepted guidelines for wound management and also the do’s and don’ts pertaining to the bite areas following a snake bite.

Background: Measles is highly prevalent across globe and it is the main cause for childhood mortality and morbidity. It has now come down in developed countries that worked to prevent transmission. It is still continuing to be a widespread disease in developing countries like India. Objective: To ascertain measles immunization coverage, factors leading to drop-outs and parents’ knowledge, attitude and perceived practices on it. Materials and Methods: A community based cross-sectional study design was adopted to study the children’s drop out in measles immunization. 210 children aged between 12 and 23 months in Kanyakumai district had been picked up from the entire population of 182519 using 30 X 7 cluster random sampling. Results: The study has shed some light on the coverage of measles vaccination of 81.4% with dropout of 18.6%. There were no statistically significant associations between area of residence, place of birth, sex, parental marital status, mothers’ pregnancy status & availability of immunization card and dropouts. In regards to their parents’ knowledge, attitude and perceived practices on Measles, 93.3% had vast awareness. Conclusion: A few factors like ignorance, long gap between administration of two vaccinations, lack of awareness on adverse impact of Measles, have hampered the program from reaching all children in the district. However, these challenges might be addressed through increasing the level of awareness among the parents, identification of dropout cases, scaling up of vaccination programs at gross root level, etc.
背景:麻疹在全球高度流行，是儿童死亡和发病的主要原因。现在，在努力防止传播的发达国家，这种情况已经下降。在印度等发展中国家，它仍然是一种普遍存在的疾病。目的:了解儿童麻疹免疫接种率、导致辍学的因素及家长对麻疹免疫接种率的了解、态度和认知做法。材料与方法:采用基于社区的横断面研究设计，对儿童麻疹免疫退出情况进行研究。采用30 X 7整群随机抽样，在Kanyakumai地区从182519人全部人口中抽取了210名年龄在12至23个月之间的儿童。结果:麻疹疫苗接种率为81.4%，辍学率为18.6%。居住地区、出生地点、性别、父母婚姻状况、母亲怀孕状况和免疫卡可得性与辍学之间没有统计学上的显著关联。在家长对麻疹的知识、态度和认知行为方面，93.3%的家长有广泛的认识。结论:无知、两次接种疫苗间隔时间长、对麻疹不良影响缺乏认识等因素阻碍了该项目无法覆盖该地区的所有儿童。然而，这些挑战可以通过提高家长的认识水平、确定辍学病例、在基层扩大疫苗接种计划等来解决。

It has now come down in developed countries that worked to prevent transmission. It is still continuing to be a widespread disease in developing countries like India. Objective: To ascertain measles immunization coverage, factors leading to drop-outs and parents’ knowledge, attitude and perceived practices on it. Materials and Methods: A community based cross-sectional study design was adopted to study the children’s drop out in measles immunization. 210 children aged between 12 and 23 months in Kanyakumai district had been picked up from the entire population of 182519 using 30 X 7 cluster random sampling. Results: The study has shed some light on the coverage of measles vaccination of 81.4% with dropout of 18.6%. There were no statistically significant associations between area of residence, place of birth, sex, parental marital status, mothers’ pregnancy status & availability of immunization card and dropouts. In regards to their parents’ knowledge, attitude and perceived practices on Measles, 93.3% had vast awareness.

Individuals with autoimmune rheumatic diseases (ARD) have a higher risk of cardiovascular disease than the general population. However, the classic 10-year cardiovascular risk scoring systems have not adequately incorporated this heightened risk into the prediction equations. The growing number of peer-reviewed articles in the professional literature is an indication of how individuals in the scholastic arena are expanding in the awareness of the link between ARDs and cardiovascular disease (CVD). By dissemination of best practices, other health care practitioners can learn about the specific needs of this specific subgroup of patients with ARD. The purpose of the literature review conducted here was to describe the status of the peer-reviewed literature pertaining to ARD versus CVD and raise awareness about what variables need to be included to adequately include the ARD subgroup. A literature search was conducted using the CINAHL, Medline, and PubMed databases. Inclusion criteria included publication date from January 1, 1995 through July 31, 2015, written in the English language, and a focus on cardiovascular disease as the primary discipline. Cardiovascular risk score was searched as an overarching discipline; articles focused on sub-disciplines or other health professions disciplines were excluded. The search resulted in 265 articles. Each of the authors reviewed the abstracts for all articles and read full articles when necessary. The result was 13 articles that were then considered in depth. The articles were categorized according to their primary theme: risk scoring method (N=6); link between ARD and CVD (N=3); physician knowledge about ARD and CVD link (N=2); limitations of scoring system (N=2). Year of publication and journal were also examined. The results of the literature search lead to several observations about how the peer-reviewed literature has been used to date and how it could be used to create more robust scoring methods on predicting CVD.
