In 1985, there were estimated 2 lakh polio cases in the country in the wake of which polio vaccine was universalized and integrated in the universal immunization programme for administration across the country. In 1995, when pulse polio programme was launched, there were still an estimated 50,000 polio cases in the country. In 2005, the NPSP conducted independent verification of VE using field epidemiology, for the first time, and re-discovered that 3 doses of t OPV provided protection to no more than 30% of children against WPV types 1 and 3.Keywords

Quality of Life (QOL) measures are useful methods to understand the impact of illness and outcome of treatment. The aim of any therapeutic intervention is not just symptom alleviation but overall improvement. The number of studies on the Quality of Life in bipolar affective disorder, especially in adolescent, is very less considering the prevalence rate of this disorder. Material and In the present study effort has been made to understand the QOL among adolescent patients with Bipolar Affective Disorder (BPAD) (N=30), skin diseases (N=30) and normal controls (N=30). They were rated on WHOQOL BREF. Results of statistical analysis indicates that patients with BPAD have been found to have poorer QOL than adolescent with skin diseases and normal controls. Understanding the quality of life of psychiatric illness like BPAD vis a vis other medical disorders like skin disease (which is usually a chronic disease and QOL is reported to be poor in it also) throws new light in terms of the impact of illness, course, out come and intervention strategies.Keywords

Terrorism is widely considered to be the greatest security challenge of our time. Many societies around the world are now faced with the prospect of endemic terrorism on their own soil. The September 11, 2001, terrorist attack in the United States; the March 11, 2004, terrorist attack in Spain; and the July 7, 2005, terrorist attack in Britain; are all unlikely to be one-off events. Rather, the United States and many other Western democracies can expect more terrorist attacks in the future. What affect will such attacks have on these countries? What kinds of domestic effects are they likely to produce? The present paper highlights on some of these burning issues.Keywords

AIDS and crime rates are often treated in isolation from each other. This study, indicates whether HIV prevalence could influence crime rates, employs an interdisciplinary model of crime to fit the complex socio-demographic context, it is evidently proved that HIV prevalence is positively correlated with some types of monetary/property-related crimes. This study also assesses some of the behavioral mechanisms that could drive this positive relationship between AIDS and crime. It is assumed that those infected with HIV are also more likely to engage in other risky behaviors such as illegal drug use, trafficking and other illegal activities because their reduced life expectancy leads them to discount the future. Evidence shows that HIV/AIDS crowding-out police/law enforcement expenditure in favor of other government agency spending for the study period.Keywords

Drug has always been the cause of disease. Lots of psychological and physical consequences as well social taboos are associated with the person who ever use drugs. The study sheds light on the effect of drug on HIV infection which is highly correlated with injecting the drugs for any intoxication. The injecting route of drug is one of the major routes of HIV transmission. Moreover, the study also reveals the dynamic pattern of drug uses among the young generations. The drug which was previously used in western countries is now consumed frequently in India. Many youngsters are wasting their lives by getting caught in swamp of drugs as well being infected with HIV virus.Keywords
