National Dengue Day

National Dengue Day: World's half of population at risk, awareness & preventions are best solutions National Dengue Day celebrated on 16th of May every year, is a novel initiative of the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare to raise awareness about dengue in India. A number of celebrations are organized on this occasion, where symptoms and signs of dengue, effective measures to prevent the disease and government's plan and preparedness to control its spread before transmission season starts, are discussed and disseminated.The World Health Organization (WHO) produces alarming picture in this regard, saying dengue incidences have risen exponentially globally and about half of the world's population are at risk. The organization also estimates 100-400 million cases of infections every year globally. In India, too, dengue occurs especially in rainy season, causing upheavals in social sector.Haryana, Kerala, Punjab, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Delhi & Jammu & Kashmir have been infected by this disease. In 2017, maximum numbers of dengue cases were reported from Tamilnadu followed by Kerala, Karnataka, Punjab, West Bengal, Andhra Pradesh, Assam, Gujarat, Haryana, Maharashtra, Odisha, Rajasthan, Delhi and other states.The Central Government has continuously taken a number of steps to prevent this disease. Free diagnostic facilities through 713 Sentinel Surveillance Hospitals (SSHs) and 17 Apex Referral laboratories (ARLs) identified across the country, are fully functional for the purpose. The Centre reviewed much in advance the preparedness for prevention and control of dengue on 2nd February, 2022 and multidisciplinary central teams have been deputed for the states for technical support. Under National Health Mission, necessary and sufficient budgetary support is also provided to states/UTs for dengue control activitiesTo make all possible effort to avert any new upsurge, the state authorities are urged to focus on a number of things like- ensuring compliance of COVID-appropriate behavior and observance of COVID-safe festivities, implementing intensive containment and active surveillance in clusters reporting high cases and not delay imposition of restrictions, increased testing while maintaining RT-PCR ratio, prompt commissioning of PSA plants, oxygen cylinders, concentrators & ventilators, regular reviews for priority implementation of ECRP-II to ensure preparedness with enough headroom, monitoring of infection spread in children considering that few states have opened schools, monitoring of mutations including sending sufficient samples for genome sequencing.

Dengue is a viral disease caused by dengue virus and is transmitted by bite of Aedes aegypti mosquito infected with any one of the four dengue viruses. Aedes aegepti mosquito bites during daylight hours. Normally, a person develops symptoms 3-14 days after the infective bite. Patients who are already infected with the dengue virus can transmit the infection to other via Aedes mosquitoes during 4-5 days of onset of symptoms and its prevention and control depends on effective vector control measures. Dengue fever starts with sudden onset of fever, followed by severe headache, pain behind the eyes, muscle and joint pain, and rash. Dengue haemorrhagic fever has an acute onset of fever followed by abdominal pain, vomiting, bleeding.  A small proportion of cases may show fatal disease as dengue shock syndrome.

There are no specific antiviral medicines for dengue. Early clinical diagnosis by physician and proper clinical management lowers the fatality rates below 1%. Use of analgesics/pain reliever with paracetamol, promoting patient to drink plenty of fluids and rest are important.

However, precautions are considered the best measures to spread its spread. Water from coolers and other small containers like plastic containers, buckets, used automobile tyres, water coolers, pet watering containers and flower vases, should be removed at least once in a week. Line Not Html

Baby Without ???

Scientists create world's first synthetic embryo without sperm Breakthroughs happen when scientific explorations meet medical experiments. Researchers at the Weizmann Institute in Israel have produced the first “synthetic embryos” in the world without the need for sperm, eggs, or fertilisation. Scientists grew “synthetic embryos” from mice cells after discovering that it was possible to get mouse stem cells to self-assemble into structures that resembled early embryos that have an intestinal tract, a developing brain, and a beating heart. Though more research would be needed before considering growing a human embryo this way, the present breakthrough could help the scientific community expand its understanding of how organs and tissues develop throughout the growth of natural embryos hereon. Process of Creating Synthetic Embryo Initially, the group of researchers managed to grow mouse embryos outside of the womb, in glass containers which were taken directly from real mice and were...

Is Earth A Bomb About To Go Boom!!!🌍🌏☠πŸ’£πŸ’₯

      The heat at the core of the Earth is important for a number of things, primarily it helps sustain the planet’s magnetic field as well as helps keep surface temperatures relatively in check. The glowing and flowing fiery iron in the Earth’s core is critical life on the planet but that might not be the case forever. And scientists are now suggesting that the temperatures in the core  (now roughly 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit) are cooling at a much faster rate than originally anticipated. Basically, they’ve been on the downtrend since the beginning, but the cooling pace is picking up and that’s going to be an issue.  It isn’t possible to measure the exact temperature of the Earth’s core or to track the increases or decreases in a 1:1 type fashion, so scientists have had to come up with different methods to track what exactly is happening there. According to reporting by Science Alert , a group from Switzerland is working to try and measure the tem...

Sambhu Nath De: UnSung And UnTold

  Sambhu Nath De: Unsung And UnTold Sambhu Nath De: Another unsung Nambi Narain of India History celebrates the bold, the bravest. However, only when their efforts get recognised. Among those unfortunates, is India’s unsung, uncelebrated, unrecognised research scientist, Sambhu Nath De. Had it not been for his research work, millions of lives would have been affected by the Cholera toxin.  Just like Nambi Narain, the Indian scientist who was deprived of his crown, it is high time we talk about another, whose contribution to medicine remains uncelebrated not just by the world, but at home too.   Sambhu Nath De was born on February 1, 1915, in Garibati village, 30 km away from Calcutta (now Kolkata), West Bengal. During his lifetime he did research on several important subjects, including cholera toxic but remained unappreciated.  On April 15, 1985, at the age of 70, his demise left a black hole in the history of science and research. With his death, a chapter that was...
