Background: Knowledge in HIV/AIDS is still deficient even in Health Care Workers (HCW). Practices of standard precautions and biomedical waste disposal among the health care workers also have been found improper in studies. The study therefore was carried out at Lady Hardinge Medical College and associated Hospitals, one of the major Medical Institutes in Delhi to assess and improve the knowledge and practices of HCWs about HIV/AIDS.
Methods: Doctors (N = 86) and nursing professionals (N = 34) involved in patient care were given training by experts in the field of HIV regarding standard precaution and biomedical waste management. Their pre and post training level of knowledge and practices regarding HIV, standard precautions and biomedical waste disposal was evaluated.
Results & conclusion: The knowledge in many aspects of HIV and standard precaution was found inadequate both among doctors and nursing professionals though it improved considerably after training. Only 33% of doctors knew the correct interval for post exposure prophylaxis for HIV after getting exposed to HIV positive patient before the training. Only 29% of them initially had correct knowledge about the diagnostic test for HIV in a 4 month old child.

Background:The smile is one of the most important facial expressions and is essential in expressing friendliness, agreement and appreciation. The evaluation of the intrinsic characteristics of the smile is a necessary procedure to achieve consistent form in orthodontic treatments, which in turn makes it necessary to recognize the components and factors that affect these characteristics.Objectives: The study was conducted to evaluate various characterstics of smile in Haryanavi females which may serve as a guideline for enhancement of esthetic and cosmetic surgery.
Material and Methods: The present study was conducted on 50 females age group 18-25 years in Pt. B.D. Sharma Post graduate institute of Medical Sciences, Rohtak. The photographs were clicked with the digital camera with high resolution. The following parameters of smile were noted in all the subjects: Position of upper lip while smiling, alignment of upper incisal edge to lower lip, Tooth-lower lip position.
Results: The high position of upper lip while smiling was noted in 56% cases, alignment of upper incisal edge to lower lip was convex in 54% cases, Toothlower lip position was not touching in 54% cases.
Conclusions: The present study will provide baseline data of an esthetic smile in Haryanavi females. The baseline data may serve as a guideline for restoration or enhancement of esthetics for the anterior component of the dentition.

The inadequate availability of human donor hearts and other organs has inspired interest in field of xenotransplantation. The prospect of transgenic pig providing compatible organs for human xenotransplantation is becoming more likely. We aim to compare cardiac anatomy of pig hearts with human cadaveric hearts. A comparative analysis of pig and human cardiac anatomy was made by gross examination and dissection of hearts. The mean value of various parameters along with standard deviation was calculated.and T-test was applied and p-value was calculated. The average weight of human heart was 266.5g whereas the average weight of pig heart was 302.8g. An average adult human heart was about 9.8cm (9.2cm-12cm) from base to apex, 8.6 cm (7.4cm-10.8cm) in its broadest transverse diameter and 7.1 cm (5cm-8.4cm) anteroposteriorly. An average pig heart was about 10.2 cm (8.5cm-11cm) from base to apex, 8.9 cm (6.5cm-11cm) in its broadest transverse diameter and 6.6 cm (5cm- 8cm) anteroposteriorly. The human heart was trapezoidal in shape. The pig heart, in contrast, was a broad cone shaped organ. In humans, the left atrium received the four pulmonary veins whereas in pig it received two pulmonary veins. In right atrium of man, orifices of superior and inferior caval veins were in a direct line whereas in pig veins opened at right angles to each other.The present study suggests that the morphology of human and porcine heart is almost similar with significant anatomical differences between porcine and human hearts that might effect the success of the cardiac xenograft within the human recipient.

Background:Alpha-2 agonists are added to local anesthetic agents to extend the duration of peripheral nerve blocks.Objective: We evaluated the effect of combining dexmedetomidine with levobupivacine with respect to duration of motor and sensory block and duration of analgesia.
Material and Methods: Sixty patients of ASA grade I or II aged between 18-60 years, posted for elective upper limb surgeries were enrolled for a prospective, randomized, double-blind study. Patients were divided into two groups, the control group B and the study group BD. In group B (n = 30), 30 ml of 0.325% levobupivacaine + normal saline; and in group BD (n = 30), 30 ml of 0.325%levobupivacaine + 1μg/kg dexmedetomidine were given for ultrasound guided supraclavicular brachial plexus block. Duration of motor and sensory block and time to first rescue analgesia were recorded..
Results: Demographic profile and surgical characteristics were similar in both groups. The onset times for sensory and motor blocks were significantly shorter in BD group (p < 0.05), while the duration of sensory and motor blocks and duration of analgesia (DOA) was significantly longer in BD group. Heart rate level and SBP and DBP levels in group BD were significantly lower 15-20 min after block (p < 0.05). Bradycardia was observed in two patients in the group BD. No other adverse effects were observed in either of the groups.
Conclusion: Dexmedetomidine added as an adjuvant to levobupivacaine for supraclavicular brachial plexus block significantly shortens the onset time and prolongs the duration of sensory and motor blocks and duration of analgesia.

Dengue fever is generally not characterized by neurological manifestations, especially in infants. Here we present an 11 month old male child residing in Jalandhar, Punjab, who presented with status epilepticus and later, on investigation, was found to be Dengue encephalitis. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case from this region.Full Text

We studied the impact of the odd–even traffic rule (implemented in Delhi during 1–15 January 2016) on primary traffic emissions using measurements of 13 volatile organic compounds, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and methane at a strategic arterial road in Delhi (28.57°N, 77.11°E, 220 m amsl). Whole air samples (n = 27) were collected during the odd–even rule active (OA) and inactive (OI) days, and analysed at the IISER Mohali Atmospheric Chemistry Facility. The average mass concentration ranking and toluene/benzene ratio were characteristic of primary traffic emissions in both OA and OI samples, with the largest fraction comprising aromatic compounds (55– 70% of total). Statistical tests showed likely increase (p ≤ 0.16; OA > OI) in median concentration of 13 out of 16 measured gases during morning and afternoon periods (sampling hours: 07 : 00–08 : 00 and 13 : 30–14 : 30 IST), whereas no significant difference was observed for evening samples (sampling hour: 19 : 00–20 : 00 IST). This suggests that many four-wheeler users chose to commute earlier, to beat the 8 : 00 AM–8 : 00 PM restrictions, and/or there was an increase in the number of exempted public transport vehicles. Thus, the odd–even rule did not result in anticipated traffic emission reductions in January 2016, likely due to the changed temporal and fleet emission behaviour triggered in response to the regulation.Keywords
