Diphtheria happens to be a serious bacterial infection which adversely affects the mucous membranes of the nose and throat. It is caused by Corynebacteriumdiptheriae which multiplies on or near the surface of the throat. It can also multiply on the skin and this usually spreads through airborne droplets or contaminated household and personnel belongings.

Mood disorders are the second most common condition and can repeat for a variety of reasons. Bipolar mood disorders can cause severe manic and depressed episodes that, if not adequately treated, can result in substantial social and personal problems. This study used a single case study approach and was qualitative in nature. A patient with bipolar affective disorder without psychotic symptoms participated in the trial. A case history form and a mental state assessment instrument were used to gather the data, which was then analysed using the content analysis approach. A 27-year-old lady who has been diagnosed with bipolar affective disorder and is now experiencing a manic episode without psychotic symptoms served as the study's sample. The patient was a resident of a private mental health facility in Kerala. This study discovered that pharmacotherapy, family therapy, in-patient rehabilitation, out-patient rehabilitation, and cognitive behavioural therapy can all help manage bipolar affective disorder, current episode manic without psychotic symptoms. The outcome of the current study comprises a thorough analysis of the sample's history and present conditions, along with interventions and management techniques.

Pseudoaneurysm is an extraluminal collection of blood with a turbulent flow that communicates with flowing arterial blood through a defect in the arterial wall. Uterine artery pseudoaneurysm (UAP) is considered a rare case that occurs in 2–3/1,000 deliveries. Here we discuss 2 cases – first case is UAP diagnosed antenatally in a woman with acute abdomen and hydronephrosis, second case presented as secondary delayed postpartum haemorrhage. Sonography revealed UAP, and the diagnosis was confirmed by angiography. The defects were. treated by uterine artery embolization. UAE is to be considered a life-saving procedure obviating need for hysterectomy and improves maternal outcome.

Traditional Chinese medicine is an important part of Traditional medicine in China. It has a long history and profound cultural heritage, and is widely used in disease treatment, health preservation, epidemic prevention, disaster relief and other aspects. The application of traditional Chinese medicine covers many fields, such as internal medicine, surgery, gynecology, pediatrics, etc. It is an important tool in History of China to cure diseases and save people. With the development of society and the increasing demand of people for health, Chinese medicine, as a kind of Traditional medicine, plays an increasingly important role in modern medicine. However, the development of traditional Chinese medicine also faces some difficulties and challenges. This review will analyze and explore the future of traditional Chinese medicine from the perspective of its development and current situation.

Centella asiatica is a popular medicinal plant that has a long history of usage as a traditional medicine that is used for neurological disease, skin disease, immune disease, and others. Nowadays, there is a wide array of Centella asiatica -based products. Although Centella asiatica was claimed to be having an established profile on the free radical scavenging activity, total phenolic content and antimicrobial activity of Centella asiatica but there is still a lack of detailed study that focuses on those properties. This study aims to fill the gap in the previous research, especially on the antimicrobial activity of C. asiatica. This study is worth examining because it helps to assure the effectiveness of C. asiatica medicinal products on the market. The antioxidant activity and total phenolic content of the plant extract were examined by using DPPH assay and Folin-Ciocalteu method respectively. Based on the findings, C. asiatica was found to be having concentration-dependent antioxidant activity with the highest radical scavenging activity recorded at 52.7% at 100 μg/mL. For total phenolic concentration wise, 1mg/ml maceration and soxhlet extract of C. asiatica were found to be having 20.74 and 27.48 μg/mL Gallic acid equivalent (GAE) respectively. The antimicrobial activity was determined by using the modified broth dilution method. Based on the findings, C. asiatica was found to be effective against E. coli, K. pneumonia, and S. epidermidis with the MIC recorded at 4mg/ml. On the other hand, B.pumilus did not portray sensitivity against C. asiatica at the tested concentration. This study is significant as it verifies the antioxidant activity, total phenolic content, and antimicrobial activity of the plant extract successfully.
