Electrical shock affects the cardiovascular system in nearly one third of patients. The pathway of the electrical current through the body determines the effects on the cardiovascular system. We discuss a rare case of a 40 year old male admitted with ECG changes suggestive of inferior wall myocardial infarction following accidental contact with a high voltage electricity power line. CPK-MB and Troponin was positive. Echocardiography demonstrated mild inferior wall hypokinesia. The optimal management of myocardial injury after electrical shock may be debated, because there is no consensus as to the best management of ST segment elevation myocardial infarction after electrical shock as myocardial injury might occur due to a nonocclusive mechanism, as in the present case revealed by normal coronary angiography. So there may be no need for either medical or mechanical reperfusion.Keywords

The common cold, or upper respiratory tract infection, is one of the leading reasons for physician visits. Its impact on society and health care is large. Rhinoviruses are the most frequent cause. The virus is spread by hand contact with secretions from an infected person (direct or indirect) or aerosol of the secretions and virus. There is no proven treatment for the common cold. Therefore, the common cold is treated symptomatically. Prophylactic probiotics, zinc sulphate, nasal saline irrigation, and the herbal preparations containing Echinacea angustifolia reduce the incidence of cold. Nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs and some herbal preparations, including Echinacea purpurea, improve symptoms. Hand hygiene reduces the spread of viruses that cause cold illnesses.Keywords

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) refers to a group of common metabolic disorders that share the phenotype of hyperglycaemia. The rising prevalence of type 2 DM is closely associated with industrialisation and socio economic development. 50% of the diabetic patients in India remain unaware of their diabetic status, which increases the risk of development of diabetic complications. We have used IDRS (Table 1) which is simple, safe and inexpensive questionnaire consisting of four simple parameters i.e., age, obesity status, exercise status, and family history of type 2 DM. It was observed that 44.23%, 48.57% and 7.20% subject were in High, Moderate, and Low risk group, respectively for developing type 2 DM. This simple and cost effective IDRS could thus serve as a tool for a primary care physician or a health worker to identify at risk individuals for both diabetes and cardiovascular diseases.Keywords

High altitude pulmonary oedema (HAPO) is a potentially fatal, non-cardiogenic pulmonary oedema, which occurs in unacclimatized, susceptible individuals after rapid induction into a high altitude area.Aims: An observational study of high altitude pulmonary oedema.
Methods and Material: Data was collected over a 3-year study period at a general hospital located in high altitude and catering to a population of over 100,000 people deployed at heights ranging from 3000m to 6000 m in the Himalayas. Prospective data collection was done of all patients received with a clinical diagnosis of HAPO.
Results: 686 cases of high altitude related illness namely acute mountain sickness (AMS), High Altitude pulmonary oedema (HAPO), high altitude cerebral oedema (HACO) and high altitude pulmonary arterial hypertension (HAPAH) were received and treated at this specialised centre. A total of 434 cases of HAPO were diagnosed during this period with maximum number of cases occurring in age group 21-25 years, predominantly affected Lowlanders, majority occurred within 24 h of induction to altitudes ranging from 3000m to 4500m. The clinical presentation included productive cough and dyspnoea with crepitations on auscultation and tachypneoa with majority having saturations less than 80%. Chest radiographs showed classical pulmonary infiltrates involving B/L lung zones in < 30%, right lower zone (RLZ) was the commonest.
Conclusion: High altitude pulmonary oedema is a significant and potentially serious health problem. Early diagnosis carries better prognosis. Greater understanding of the pathophysiology and strict adherence to acclimatisation schedule definitely reduces its incidence, mortality and morbidity.

Chandrayaan-2 Large Area Soft X-ray Spectrometer (CLASS) is an X-ray fluorescence spectrometer experiment aimed at mapping the abundances of major rock-forming elements on the lunar surface. The instrument consists of swept charge devices with a passive collimator, visible light blocking filters and signal processing electronics designed and built at U.R. Rao Satellite Centre, Indian Space Research Organisation. CLASS will be the largest collecting area spectrometer flown to the Moon, and thus is expected to map the abundances of lunar elements with a higher sensitivity than ever at soft X-ray energies.Keywords
