Background: Globally 1.339 billion U-5s and 79 thousand neonates aged 0-27 days were estimated to be dead due to diarrhoea. India, Nigeria, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Ethiopia accounts for more than half of the deaths caused by diarrhoea. Our objectives are to understand the knowledge and practices of WASH, preventive and treatment measures of diarrheal diseases, the feeding practices and hygiene among the mothers in the rural village of Wardha district.

All of them washed their hands with soap after using the restroom. Mixed responses were obtained when people were asked about the line of action in case, they suffer from any of the acute diarrhoeal diseases. 90% of them prefer ORS during such times and the source of availing had mixed responses.

Visual sense is one of the primitive senses that has been developed evolutionarily. After all, it allows us to perceive the beauty present in our environment and allows us to interact with others. VER (visual evoked response) is the only clinically objective technique available to assess the functional state of the visual system beyond the retinal ganglion cells. Hence it can be used as a panoptic diagnostic tool in the clinical world. This article unravels the relationship between Visual evoked potentials and age, smoking, alcoholism, schizophrenia, refractive errors and glaucoma.
Keywords: Visual Evoked Potentials, smoking, alcoholism, schizophrenia, refractive errors, glaucoma.
