In recent years, healthcare institutions have become more vulnerable to cyberattacks, which risk day-to-day operations and result in the leakage of critical patient data. Doctors, paramedics, and data entry operators at hospitals are not fully aware of cyber risks and the safety of patients’ digital information. Due to the high demand for patient information and outdated computer technology, cybercrime is still prevalent. In November 2022, after a huge cyber attack, one of our country’s premier medical institutes had substantial disruptions in its regular operations, such as patient registration, handling of lab data, and so on. It corrupted data and files on the hospital’s primary and backup data systems. Later, the hospital went into the paper mode for more than a week, handling four million patients’ data manually.

During the fierce pandemic of COVID-19, the entire healthcare workforce has experienced high psycho-social stress and huge loads of work, which is likely to affect their emotional and mental well-being and guide them to a state of burnout.

COPD is an emerging threat to the world as it affects the lives of individuals by decreasing their quality of life. In the current context, nurses can play an important role in the management of COPD by promoting an active lifestyle and some lifestyle modifications.

Basic Life Support (BLS) has recently received special attention because the majority of cardiac arrests occur outside of the hospital, The advancement of technology with medical research contributes to evidence-based care for critically ill patients. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of Basic Life Support (BLS) on knowledge, attitude, and practice among high school teachers.

The importance of awareness about Occupational Therapy (OT) in providing high-quality care to patients cannot be underscored. An adequate understanding of OT ascertained by Healthcare Professionals (HP), might promote timely relevant referrals for OT services.

The unexpected COVID-19 pandemic and the associated nationwide lockdown have had a huge impact on the physical activity and lifestyle of software employees. So, this study was conducted to explore the relationship between the changes in their lifestyle and the pandemic.

Trapezitis is the most common musculoskeletal disorder caused by the inflammation of the trapezius muscle which leads to muscle spasms and pain in the neck. The prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders among smartphone users ranges from 1% to 67.8%. The prevalence of neck pain in young adults among smartphone users in the past 12 months was 47.4%. Smartphone usage for prolonged periods of time causes repetitive strain of muscles. Physiotherapists utilise a wide range of interventions in the management of trapezitis including myofascial release technique and muscle energy technique. The purpose of the study is to compare the effects of myofascial release technique and muscle energy technique on pain and physical function among smartphone users with trapezitis.

he responsiveness of the health system denotes its goal of responding to the legitimate expectations of the serving population. The study uses WHO’s responsiveness domains as the main variables. It was undertaken to determine how well the health system was responding tothe needs of people living in the Suryapet district of Telangana. The objective of the study was to assess the responsiveness and its domains in a health system in the state of Telangana.

The study’s objective was to evaluate the knowledge, attitudes and practises of pharmacy students at St Johns College in Yemmiganur, Andhra Pradesh, India, regarding the use of contact lenses. Method: A semi-structural questionnaire was provided to conclude the inquiry. The questions were in English and covered wearing contacts, taking care of them, problems they can create with their eyes, and their advantages. 65 (46 female and 19 male) of the 175 Pharm D students and 139 (95 female and 44 male) of the 406 B Pharmacy students participated in the study while using contact lenses.

The bioadhesive buccal film drug delivery technology that increases the safety, effectiveness, and stability of active pharmaceutical ingredients is the main focus of the current article. The buccal film is cutting-edge technology since it offers a better way to maximise treatment effectiveness. The medications that are used to increase bioavailability and have a high first-pass metabolism are ideal for this drug delivery strategy. Rolling, hot-melt extrusion, solid dispersion, solvent casting, or semi-solid casting can all be used to make Bioadhesive Buccal Films (BBF). The solvent casting method is the most popular of them. Organoleptic valuation, thickness, transparency, surface pH, moisture content, tensile strength, per cent elongation, folding endurance, swelling assets, drug content, and in vitro dissolution tests are a few of the mechanical assets that are assessed for the BBF. A small amount of material on earlier work on BBF has been provided in the article. This article will be useful for quick references to prior BBF attempts and guidance on how to assess them.

India is amidst an epidemiological transition with the country’s health system being tested to manage the dual burden of communicable and Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) and it is prudent that policy bearers should ensure stratification of data collected through large-scale surveys like NFHS & NSS for better understanding of NCDs in India and AYUSH users for NCDs. The subject scoping review focuses on the uptake of the AYUSH system of medicines in the backdrop of NCDs in India, systems approach to healthcare, the concept of integrative medicine and the challenges it faces in terms of scalability and mass adoption.

The most frequent cause of discomfort in the inferior heel is plantar fasciitis, and Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) is one of the most effective therapy for plantar fasciitis. It was aimed to determine how extracorporeal shock wave therapy would affect plantar fasciitis.

The use of Ḥijāmah dates back to 3500 BC in Egypt, with records in Ebers Papyrus. But in the last two decades, Ḥijāmah is gaining its due acceptance in the management of different neuromuscular and pain disorders.For sciatica, Ḥijāmah is advised over the sciatic nerve. Ḥijāmah with 2 cups (over the gluteal area and thigh/ over calf muscle and below the ankle), with 5 cups and even with 9 cups may be done in patients of sciatica. These different settings/ protocols of Ḥijāmah in patients with sciatica show a significant reduction in pain and disability.

Throughout its history, nursing has been engaged in a constant struggle for status, acceptance and recognition. A shift from apprenticeship to university-level programmes saw nursing’s entry into the professional arena leaving behind the metaphorical gutter and stereotypes. Even in the 21st century, nurses are far behind their medical counterparts in terms of societal status. Unlike the western countries where this disparity is not strikingly evident, it is one of the most glaring realities of India’s healthcare system. While nurses are counted among the five most valued professionals in the United Kingdom, United States of America and Australia, nursing is among the least preferred career choices in India. This article discusses the historical development of nursing in India from a gender and social perspective to understand why nursing is where it is today.

newborn with anencephaly does not have parts of the brain or skull. It is a significant birth condition. A particular sort of Neural Tube Defect (NTD) is present. The neural tube helps form the baby’s brain and skull (upper segment of the neural tube), spinal cord, and back bones (lower half of the neural tube), as it grows and closes.When the top portion of the neural tube does not completely seal, anencephaly occurs. As a consequence, many babies are born without the cerebrum, which is the part of the brain responsible for thought and coordination, or the front portion of the brain (forebrain). Brain tissue that is not covered by bone or skin is commonly exposed. We are presenting one such case with 23 weeks of gestation and an anencephaly baby with cardiac activity.
