IMPACT OF PRE-ENRICHMENT CULTURE TECHNIQUES ON THE RECOVERY OF BACTERIAL PATHOGENS FROM CLINICAL SPECIMENS
type: item
description: Background: Isolation of bacterial pathogens from clinical specimens is a fundamental requirement in diagnostic microbiology. However, conventional direct culture techniques may fail to detect pathogens when organisms are present in low numbers or when specimens contain inhibitory substances. Pre-enrichment culture techniques are designed to enhance bacterial recovery prior to inoculation onto solid media. Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of pre-enrichment culture techniques in improving the isolation of bacterial pathogens from routine clinical specimens. Materials and Methods: A prospective analytical study was conducted on 120 clinical specimens. Each specimen was processed by direct culture on solid media and by pre-enrichment in liquid media followed by subculture. Isolation rates, specimen-wise yield, Gram staining quality, and organism proiles were compared. Results: Pre-enrichment culture demonstrated a higher isolation rate [79.2%] compared to direct culture [55.8%]. Improved Gram-staining clarity and well-defined colony morphology were observed following enrichment, particularly in sterile body fluids and tissue samples. Conclusion: Pre-enrichment culture significantly enhances bacterial detection from clinical specimens and should be routinely employed to improve diagnostic sensitivity in microbiology laboratories.

SIGNIFICANCE OF LIQUID MEDIA IN MEDICAL MICROBIOLOGY
type: item
description: Background: Isolation of pathogenic microorganisms remains fundamental to the diagnosis and management of infectious diseases. Direct inoculation of clinical specimens onto solid media may yield false-negative results when the bacterial load is low or when inhibitory substances are present. Liquid media act as enrichment systems that enhance microbial recovery. Aim: To evaluate the role of liquid media in improving bacterial isolation from clinical specimens compared with direct inoculation onto solid media. Materials and Methods: A prospective comparative study was conducted on 100 clinical specimens. Each specimen was processed by direct inoculation onto solid media and by enrichment in liquid media fol lowed by subculture. Culture positivity, Gram-staining quality, colony morphology, and organism distribution were analyzed. Results: Liquid media enrichment demonstrated a higher culture positivity rate (82%) compared with direct inocu lation (58%). Enriched cultures showed improved Gram-staining clarity and well-de ined colony morphology. Conclusion: Liquid media signi icantly enhance bacterial isolation and diagnostic accuracy and should be routinely incorporated into diagnostic microbiology work lows.

PRECLINICAL INDICATORS AND DIAGNOSTIC APPROACHES TO MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION IN YOUNG ADULTS-ORIGINAL ARTICLE
type: item
description: Background: Myocardial infarction (MI) in young adults is increasingly recognized as a major public health concern. Unlike older populations, MI in young adults often arises from a complex interplay of traditional and non-traditional risk factors and may remain clinically silent until an acute event occurs. Objective: This review aims to summarize the preclinical indicators, underlying pathophysiological mechanisms, and current diagnostic approaches relevant to early identiication of myocardial infarction risk in young adults. Methods: A narrative review of published literature focusing on myocardial infarction in individuals aged 18–45 years was conducted. Studies addressing pathophysiology, risk factors, screening tools, and diagnostic strategies were analyzed. Results: Preclinical indicators such as endothelial dysfunction, autonomic imbalance, subclinical atherosclerosis, inlammatory biomarkers, and genetic predisposition play a critical role in the early development of myocardial infarction in young adults. Diagnostic tools including electrocardiography, biochemical markers, imaging modalities, and risk stratification models aid in early detection, though their routine use in asymptomatic individuals remains debated. Conclusion: Early recognition of preclinical indicators combined with targeted diagnostic strategies can improve risk stratiication and prevention of myocardial infarction in young adults. Incorporating physiology-based screening approaches may reduce morbidity and mortality in this population.

NEONATAL HYPOTHERMIA AND ITS IMPACT ON EARLY MORBIDITY AND MORTALITY AN OBSERVATIONAL STUDY
type: item
description: Background: Neonatal hypothermia is a frequent and preventable condition that signicantly contributes to early neonatal morbidity and mortality, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. Objectives: To assess the prevalence of neonatal hypothermia at admission, identify associated risk factors, and evaluate its impact on early morbidity and mortality. Materials and Methods: This hospital-based observational study was conducted in the neonatal unit of a tertiary care hospital. All live-born neonates admitted within 24 hours of birth during the study period were included. Axillary temperature was recorded at admission and classified according to World Health Organization [WHO] criteria. Maternal and neonatal characteristics, early neonatal morbidities, and mortality were documented and analyzed. Results: A total of 200 neonates were included in the study. Hypothermia at admission was observed in 118 [59%] neonates. Preterm birth, low birth weight, and outborn delivery were significantly associated with hypothermia. Hypothermic neonates had higher incidences of sepsis, respiratory distress, hypoglycemia, and significantly higher early neonatal mortality compared to normothermic neonates. Conclusion: Neonatal hypothermia is common and is strongly associated with increased early morbidity and mortality. Strict adherence to thermal care practices from birth through transport and hospitalization is essential to improve neonatal outcomes.

CHRONIC INFLAMMATORY DISEASE- PSORIASIS ITS DIET MANAGEMENT AND PREVENTION
type: item
description: Is a long-term (chronic) skin problem that causes skin cells to grow too quickly, resulting in thick, white, silvery, or red patches of skin. Psoriasis isn't contagious. It can't be spread by touch from person to person. Normally, skin cells grow gradually and flake off about every 4 weeks. New skin cells grow to replace the outer layers of the skin as they shed. But in psoriasis , new skin cells move rapidly to the surface of the skin in days rather than weeks. They build up and form thick patches called plaques .The patches range in size from small to large.

STUDY ON GLYCEMIC STATUS IN SIBLINGS OF DIABETIC PARENTS
type: item
description: Introduction: As per Indian council of medical research survey, incidence of diabetes in 1975 was around 2.1% which increased to 4.5% by 1990 and with the present trend is likely to reach around 6.8% in this millennium. Offspring of patients with Non insulin depended diabetes mellitus have a 40-60% chance of developing type 2 diabetes and increased frequency of impaired glucose tolerance. The siblings of diabetic parents are at high risk than siblings of non diabetic parents. The glycemic status plays a crucial role and it is a good indicator to alert the offspring’s of diabetic parents. Materials & Methods: The study was carried in department of Biochemistry on 30 control cases (23 Males 07 Females) of siblings of non diabetic parents (Group I) and 60 cases (42 Males, 18 Females) of siblings of diabetic parents (Group II) of same aged group. The glycemic status of both groups is studied by estimating the Glucose tolerance test and glycated haemoglobin. Results: Siblings of diabetic parents were further divided into two groups, normal glucose tolerance group and impaired glucose tolerance group. The Body mass index, fasting blood glucose, peak blood glucose and glycated haemoglobin levels were shown significant difference in siblings of diabetic parents with impaired glucose tolerance.

Single Stage Global Fusion for Fracture Subluxation of Cervical Spine Injury-Case Report
type: item
description: Introduction: Fracture subluxation following cervical spine injury is commonly encountered. Fracture subluxation can result in a serious spinal injury due to compression of the spinal cord. Though decompression of spine is done either anterior or posterior depending upon the site of compression, there is no consensus regarding the stabilization of spine either anterior or posterior or both after decompression of the spinal cord. Global fusion involves combined anterior and posterior stabilization of cervical spine. We report a case of fracture subluxation of C6 over C7 vertebra for whom global fusion was done in a single stage to prevent neurological deficit. Materials: Thirty six year old male patient who was a construction worker was brought to casualty after history of fall from height of 20 feet. Patient was immediately immobilized with Philadelphia collar and examined clinically for neurological deficits. On examination patient had no motor weakness and had hypoesthesia in C8 dermatome bilaterally. Radiological examination was done and patient was taken up for surgery. Global fusion following decompression was done for the patient. Results: Anterior decompression with bone grafting and anterior cervical plate fixation followed by posterior stabilization with interspinous wiring and bone grafting was done. Postoperative period was uneventful. Patient recovered from hypoesthesia and immediate mobilization was started. Conclusion: The combined single-stage anterior and posterior stabilization procedure represents a viable option in the treatment of patients with fracture subluxation following cervical spine injury than with single anterior or posterior approach alone.

OXYTOCIN: THE HORMONE OF LOVE
type: item
description: Oxytocin was discovered by the great Italian scientist Nicholas Farraye in the year1835. Apart from the well-known function of uterine contraction and milk ejection, it is said to play a significant role in creating an effective bond between mother and child, in trusting people, maintain eye to eye contact during a conversation. Pitocin and Syntocin are the commonly used drugs, the chemical similarity to Oxytocin makes them an ideal choice of drug for various cases for example at the time if parturition. Oxytocin is a potent molecule with a unique and unusually broad profile of biological and behavioral effects. Oxytocin acts upon receptors and tissues that are ancient and have evolved many functions. Hence, in this review we discussed the pharmacological role of Oxytocin, social effects of Oxytocin in humans, Oxytocin pathways and evolution of human behaviour, the chemistry of love and neurobiology of love.

Effect of Refractive error on VEP in Myopic Boys and Girls
type: item
description: Introduction: Visual evoked potentials (VEPs) are summated electrical signals generated by occipital regions of the Cortex in response to visual stimuli & recorded from human scalp. It tests the function of visual pathway from retina to occipital cortex and more sensitive to changes in the visual stimuli. It is very useful when causes of poor vision are uncertain. VEP amplitude and latencies are affected by multiple variables like age, gender, eye dominance, eye movement, visual acuity and refractive errors. To determine the influence of refractive error on VEP this study was done in myopic boys and girls. Methods: 40 controls, 17 boys, 23 girls were selected.40 myopic subjects, 17 boys, 23 girls with refractive error in a range of 1to 8.5 Dioptres were participated. All were aged between 17-21.Refractive error was measured by auto refractometry. VEPs were performed by checkerboard reversal stimuli system. Results: Statistical analysis showed significant prolongation of P100 latency [P100L] in myopic subjects with a P value of < 0.0001. Reduction in P100 amplitude was found and it was significant at P< 0.1 .The results were also compared separately for boys and girls.P100L was significant with a P value of < 0.0001 for boys and it was significant with a P value of 0.0007 for girls. With regard to amplitude, reduction in amplitude was observed with a significant P value of 0.0369 for boys and insignificant reduction in amplitude with a P value of 0.4103 for girls. Pearson's correlation study revealed negative correlation for VEP-L and weak positive correlation for VEP-amplitude. Conclusion: During VEP recording, the subject is advised to wear corrective lenses and this study can be used to prevent misinterpretation of VEP findings.

EFFECT OF PACLITAXEL ALONG WITH WITHNIA SOMINIFERIA ON LACTATE DEHYDROGENASE ENZYME ACTIVITY CHANGES IN 7, 12 DI METHYL BENZ (A) ANTHRACENE INDUCED BREAST CANCER WISTARRATS
type: item
description: Background: The purpose of this study is to investigate the changes in the levels of lactate dehydrogenase enzyme (LDH) activity and efficacy of combination of paclitaxel along with Withnia Sominiferia against breast cancer in experimental animals. Breast cancer is the commonest cancer among women in all developed countries (except Japan) as well as in North Africa, South America, and southeastern and western Asia. While the incidence of breast cancer appears to be increasing, mortality rates are now declining in at least some western countries. Breast cancer ranks third when both the sexes are considered together and is clearly a significant global public health problem. Methods: Breast cancer was induced in rats by 7, 12 Di methyl benz(a) anthracene (DMBA) at the dosage of 20mgs dissolved in 0.5ml sunflower oil and administered into experimental animals for 28 weeks. In this study, we demonstrated that combination of paclitaxel and withania somnifera revert the changes in the rats from lethal dose of DMBA within 30 days. Results: All the isoenzymes LDH1, LDH5 were observed in cancer bearing animals. Expression of these isoenzymes were found be reduced in paclitaxel and Withania somnifera treated animals. Conclusions: The treatment with combination of paclitaxel and withania somnifera effectively reduced LDH enzyme activity levels. So, from the obtained results it is concluded that paclitaxel and withania somnifera is capable of restoring the breast architecture.

A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF THE AMPLITUDE AND FREQUENCY OF EMG ON THE EFFECT OF MUSCLES IN SELECTED YOGA TRAINED SUBJECTS AND IN SUBJECTS EXCLUSIVELY PERFORMING ABDOMINAL CRUNCHES
type: item
description: Background: Electromyography refers to recording of action potentials of muscle fibers firing singly or in groups near the needle electrode in a muscle. Yoga and yoga-related training have often been touted as providing good muscle stretching and relaxation, as well as being beneficial for overall stress management. As life style changes have caused numerous cardiac and metabolic disorders which have increased the mortality and morbidity rate, this study will highlight the implications of these exercises and also identify the electrical activity of these abdominal and truncal muscles with regard to frequency and amplitude and make us to understand the physiological concepts and provide advice on the benefits of these exercises. Our aim was to perform comparative study of the amplitude and frequency of EMG on the effect of muscles in selected yoga trained subjects and in subjects exclusively performing abdominal crunches. Methods: The present study was carried out with the prior approval of Human Ethical Committee of Meenakshi University. The participants of this study were first year students of Meenakshi Medical College (n=20). Electrical activity of these abdominal and truncal muscles with regard to frequency and amplitude were tested. Results: Abdominal muscle are essential for the purpose of this study was to determine and compare the rectus abdominus and external oblique while the subjects performed various abdominal exercise intended to target to specific muscle sites. With respect to the rectus abdominus, and external oblique, no significant differences were found (P > 0.05). However, there was a trend toward somewhat higher EMG amplitudes in the left rectus abdominus compared with the rectus abdominus breathing exercise. Conclusions: In conclusion by use of abdominal crunch appears to be effective in recruiting the abdominal muscles and also safe in not excessively activating the unwanted hip flexor muscles. Our findings suggested that little difference be d…

type: item
description: Introduction: Yogic practices can be considered to be a very good exercise for maintaining proper health and also has a profound effect on the lung functions of an individual. They are also used as psycho-physiological stimuli to increase the physiological functions and human performance. Materials & Methods: The present study was conducted on 60 male medical students in first year M.B.B.S, who came voluntarily as subjects for the project with written consent. Their age ranged between 18-24 years. All the participants were given training for 15 days by a certified yoga teacher and were allowed to practice pranayama and suryanamaskar exercise for one hour everyday in the evening for a duration of six months. Five types of pranayama namely; Bhastrika pranayama, Anuloma vilom pranayama, Bhramari pranayama and Pranava pranayama were chosen for this study. Various static spirometry tests were done to measure the Tidal volume (TV), Slow vital capacity (SVC), Inspiratory reserve volume (IRV), Expiratory reserve volume (ERV). Pulmonary function test was performed in all the participants using computerized pulmonary testing machine (Helios- 401, RMS).Results: The obtained data was analyzed for statistical significance using SPSS software of 22.0 version followed by students t test and p<0.005 was considered the level of significance. There was significant increase in all these variables(p<0.001) in the study group after six months of yoga. Conclusion: From this study we concluded that, the practice of yoga can be advocated to improve respiratory efficiency for healthy individuals as well as an alternative therapy or as adjunct to conventional therapy in respiratory diseases and improve the anesthetic fitness for cardiothoracic surgery.
