Chikungunya virus (CHIKV), a mosquito-borne alphavirus (family Togaviridae), has become a globally major public health problem since 2004 (ref. 1). No vaccines or therapeutics are available except for mosquito control. CHIKV is relatively stable in blood at room temperature and remains viable for at least 8 h (ref. 2). However, no documented data is available regarding survival of CHIKV outside the host, i.e. in serum or infected mosquitoes. Understanding the survival and environmental stability of CHIKV in the above samples is important for effective management during outbreaks and handling clinical samples.References

Objectives: To find out the effect of mulligan mobilization in individuals with trismus.
Method: Ethical Clearance was obtained from institutional ethical committee. A total 30 subjects with trismus were selected and mulligan mobilization were given for 1 hour/day and 5days/week. The preassessment of ROM was measured by vernierecaliper and pain was measured on VAS and post interventional assessment was taken for the same after 10 days
Result: This study showed significant improvement in the outcome variables concluding that it increases ROM and decreases PAIN. This was confirmed using statistical analysis by using paired t test for within group comparison. ROM Post training there was extremely significant improvement noted with individuals with trismus. p value =<0.0001,VAS post training there was extremely significant improvement noted with trismus p value= <0.0001
Conclusion: Hence Mulligan mobilization is effective in improving ROM and it is also effective in decreasing pain in TRISMUS condition.

Introduction: Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy is the commonest medical complication. Pre-eclampsia in India is reported to be 8-10%. Out of which hypertension in pregnancy was 7.8% with pre-eclampsia in 5.4%. India has the highest number of preterm births in the World. Hypertension in pregnancy (gestational hypertension – 4.8%, eclampsia – 4.8%, chronic hypertension – 5%, & pre-eclampsia – 36%) are the major risk factors of the preterm births in India. Aims and Objectives: To evaluate placental location (by ultrasound at 18-24 weeks) & its corelation in predicting development of pre-eclampsia. Methodology: This prospective study on 108 low risk antenatal women with ultrasonography with documented placental location. After determining the placental location (ultrasound scanning at 18 – 20 weeks) were classified into two groups. Women having central placenta in the central region were assigned to group A & women having lateral placenta to group B. All women were observed regularly during pregnancy up to delivery. Development of signs and symptoms of pre-eclampsia were looked for. Results in 2 groups were compared for statistical significance. Results: Laterally placed placenta showed higher Systolic BP and Diastolic BP as compared to centrally placed placenta at every GA. But 36-37 Gestational Age only provide statistically significant results. Conclusion: In the present study, 61.1% women who eventually developed pre-eclampsia had a lateral placenta while 37% women had a centrally placenta. Laterally placed placenta showed higher Systolic BP and Diastolic BP as compared to centrally placed placenta which provide statistically significant results.Keywords

Corona virus disease (Covid-19) it had declared an emergency global pandemic1,2,3 that cause terrible effects on respiratory system and killing more than half billion lives.4,5,6 Diabetes has been reported as a risk factor for mucormycosis in 73.5% of cases in India.7 People with diabetes and obesity tend to develop more severe Covid-19 infections. This means they're more expected to take corticosteroids, which are frequently used to treat Covid-19. But the corticosteroids along with diabetes increase the risk of mucormycosis because it has been observed that peoples are affected with mucormycosis due to weekend immunity. Even a short course of steroid (5-14 days) results in mucormycosis.8 Mucormycosis, colloquially known as black fungus, is an infection from the mucormycetes group of fungi. The virus that causes Covid-19 can damage lung tissue and blood vessels, which could also increase susceptibility to different fungal infection. brain, causing headaches or seizures. So, damage to tissue and blood vessels from Covid-19 infection, treatment with corticosteroids, high background rates of diabetes in the population most brutally affected by the coronavirus are also getting affected by life threating fungal infection called as mucormycosis. Several methods have deferred the mortality but still have a challenge in curing mucorales.Keywords
