Abstract

Background: New skin or nerve lesions may develop despite the fixed duration of multi drug therapy (MDT), in multibacillary (MB) and paucibacillary (PB) leprosy. The lesions could be due to reaction, relapse or reinfection. The index study was conducted to know the percentage of relapse in leprosy at a tertiary care hospital in Southern Rajasthan, India.

Material and Methods: The study was conducted on 29 (4 PB and 25 MB) cases, who had completed WHO guided fixed duration MDT regimens and were under regular surveillance for more than one year. Besides the relapse criteria laid by Beck-Bleumink, we performed slit skin smear (BI) and skin biopsy. Study spanned from January 2005 to December 2006.

Observations: Two MB cases (8%) evidenced features of clinical as well as bacteriological relapse, but none of the PB cases relapsed. The overall relapse rate was 6.9%. Relapsed patients reported after 1 and 5 years of release from treatment (RFT) and their newer clinical and bacteriological status was also lepromatous leprosy (LL) with BI 4+.

Conclusions: MDT is quite effective for treatment of leprosy, however, possibility of relapse is still there. Relapse rate showed wide variation in different studies.

Abstract

This paper presents a collaborative study on recent advances in honeypot research and related topics.  In reviewing the literature, we have covered the following areas: types of honeypots, utilizing honeypot output data, arranging honeypots, counteracting honeypot detections by attackers. Our literature reviews also indicate that the Distributed denial-of-service attack (DDoS) as one of the most common internet attacks. An attempt is made to prevent legitimate network traffic from reaching the target and consequently to disable all services that this resource provides to the victim. DDoS attacks can be labeled in two levels: first one is application-level and another is network-level. Disadvantage in network-based application is that the communication port is commonly open.This allows attackers to possibly launch Denial of Service (DoS) Attacks. It can be solved by using the port hopping technique, which can support many clients without the need of group synchronization in the presence of clock drift. The adaptive algorithm approach enables the synchronization in the presence of clock drift. Thus the honeypot provide the basic approach for network threats. The collaborative studies relate the advance study for the network attack detection and threats and provide multiple solution technique to analyze the same.
