Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has turned out to be the most devastating viral disease that the world has encountered for the past century. The World Health Organization (WHO) declared it a pandemic on March 11, 2020. The disease mainly spreads through respiratory droplets which makes social distancing a primary tool of prevention. Many variant strains have emerged up since the pandemic started and the Delta variant is responsible for recent surge of cases in second wave of COVID-19 in India. Mass vaccination is the most efficacious precautionary measure that can be applied to stop the transmission and generate herd immunity. Vaccination does not give 100% prevention from infection, but it halts the severity of infection. Vaccine is the boon amidst the mayhem. Our study highlights that those vaccinated (particularly two doses) had clinically mild symptoms and mild computed tomography severity score (CTSS) with a speedy recovery. Those unvaccinated had moderate to severe symptoms with moderate to severe CTSS (>8) often requiring hospital admission and having poor prognosis. Thus, vaccine helps reduce the health burden of the already strained health care system. Immunization visit can also be used as an opportunity to disseminate message to encourage behavior, to reduce transmission risk of COVID-19 virus, to identify the signs and symptoms of disease, and to provide guidance on what to do.

Introduction- In comparison to other neoplasms, bone tumor is relatively not so common and constitutes only 0.5% of the total world cancer incidence. Evaluation of bone neoplasms consists of a multimodality approach and whereas cross sectional imaging has extraordinarily improved the ability to characterize tumors. Aim And Objective- This study aims at evaluating MRI imaging pattern of bone tumors and their correlation with histopathology. Materials And Method: 80 patients with suspected bone tumors referred to Department of Radiology after fullling the inclusion criteria were included in the study. Contrast enhanced MRI orbit was performed and ndings were corelated with histopathology. Results: Amongst 80 patients, 48 were males(60%) and 32 were female(40%).The patient age ranged from 1 month to 55 year. The bone tumors consist of 50 malignant and 30 benign masses amongst which osteosarcoma and enchondroma were the most common respectively. Conclusion: The present study concludes that MRI is extremely useful modality to characterize bone tumors.

Being a fast, less expensive, real time dynamic study, high resolution ultrasonography has provided a better option for diagnosing soft tissue pathologies in painful wrist joint. Diagnosing the cause of painful wrist joint Purpose- is a challenge for physicians especially in soft tissue pathologies, ultrasound imaging can provide an early, real time and efcient diagnosis and help in planning of treatment accordingly whether conservative or surgical approach is needed. So this shortens the course of treatment. A hospital based descriptive study Materials and methodsdone in department of radiodiagnosis SMS hospital Jaipur. Patients with history of both traumatic and non traumatic wrist pain were selected, prior X-ray was done. Total 45 patients were scanned using high frequency linear transducer (7-10 mHz) and hockey stick transducer on canon Aplio700 machine. Diagnosis was conrmed by MRI and clinical course of patient. The data were compiled and analyzed. In our study of 40 Resultspatients, USG detected 2 patients with foreign body, 5 with tendon rupture/ dislocation, 18 with tendonitis and tenosynovitis, 12 with ganglion cyst, 4 with soft tissue mass lesion/ collection, 4 with nerve pathology, 1 with scapholunate ligament injury, 1 with TFCC tear 1 with capsule rupture as a cause of wrist pain. Ultrasound provides a quick, accurate and inexpensive diagnosis Conclusion- in soft tissue pathologies of wrist, foreign bodies, tendon pathologies
