India is a country in transition and needs to simultaneously address preventable and treatable causes of childhood morbidities. Children require support in recognising eye problems and hence screening becomes essential. Moreover their issues need to be tackled at the earliest for treatment to be effective. The selected risk factors for ocular morbidity among school going children and the nutritional factors affecting ocular morbidity among school going children were studied.Keywords

Background: Hypertension in children is a frequently overlooked problem and an important cardiovascular risk factor of adulthood. This study was conducted to determine the prevalence of hypertension among school aged urban children and find out the association of diet with hypertension.
Method: The study included 100 children aged 15–17 years. The weight, height, and BP were measured using standardized instruments following standard guidelines.(7) Details regarding food habits were obtained. Blood pressure measurements were taken by an electronic BP monitor–Omron. Hypertension was considered when blood pressure was more than the 95th percentile for age and sex as per the NHLBI, NIH (National heart lung blood institute) standards. In children having hypertension a repeat measurement was done to confirm hypertension.
Results: In this study the prevalence of hypertension was found to be 9%.
Conclusion: High Blood pressure in children and adolescents is on the rise. These new findings have implications for the cardiovascular disease public health burden. They reinforce the urgent call for early prevention of obesity and High blood pressure in adolescents

Crouzon disorder was first detailed by a French neurosurgeon in the year 1912. Crouzon disorder is an uncommon hereditary issue. It is acquired as an autosomal predominant attribute. The sutures in the human skull meld after the total development of the cerebrum, however on the off chance that any of these sutures close rashly, it might then meddle with the development of the mind. Crouzon disorder is described by craniosynostosis, with related dentofacial oddities. This report depicts the different clinical and radiological highlights in a multi year old male kid, with specific reference to the trademark discoveries of this disorder.Keywords
