Background: Homozygous condition in Sickle cell disease (SCD) is called as sickle cell anemia(SCA). In sickle cell anemia patients clinically presents as hemolytic anemia, vaso-occlusive events, along with organ dysfunction and acute chest syndrome. Recently Hydroxyurea has shown promising results in treatment of sickle cell anemia. Hydroxyurea is the only approved drug by FDA which has shown disease modifying results. Aim: To determine the clinical outcome and laboratory parameters in SCA patients of pediatric age group post-hydroxyurea therapy. Methods: A total of 30 patients who were diagnosed as Sickle cell anemia (SCA) patients in Sickle cell anemia OPD of Pediatric department were included in the study. Results: Hydroxyurea therapy is expected to increase HbF% levels and improve the clinical outcome and laboratory parameters in sickle cell anemia patients of pediatric age group.

Hydatid cyst disease is a tapeworm infection caused by the larvae of echinococcus granulosus, spread through contaminated water and food. Hepatic hydatid cysts have different clinical manifestations. The investigations include X-rays, ultrasonography, computerized tomography, magnetic resonance, and ERCP used to detect deep lesions in all the organs and extent and status of avascular fluid-filled cysts. An antibody test is done to confirm x-ray findings. The drug Albendazole influences medical treatment. Albendazole chemotherapy proved to be an effective therapy preferred in the medical care of cystic echinococcosis. Radical hepatic hydatid cysts surgery refers to peri-cystectomy, and Conservative surgery removes the cystic contents, sterilizes the cavity, and resects the part of the cyst. Laparoscopic surgery offers the advantages of a short hospital stay, less wound infection incidence rate, and minimal post-operative pain. Percutaneous aspiration injection re-aspiration is suitable in patients who are not fit for surgery or are not ready for the surgery and have multiple cysts in the liver. The conclusion of this review article is compared to open surgery for hepatic hydatid cysts; we have shown that laparoscopic surgery can be performed safely even with multiple cysts, large cysts, and bile duct cysts.

(Dikshit et al 2012 andPratapa et al 2020) In India it is the leading cause of cancer in women accounting to 74,000 deaths per year. Human papilloma virus (HPV) related disease is the most common cause of cervical cancer.…”

To assess the knowledge of cervical cancer prevention amongst medical student in central India studying in a medical college. Cross sectional, observationalstudy. A structured questionnaire was sent to all female medical students studying in the first year of the allopathic medicine. Details about demographic profile and knowledge of cervical cancer and its prevention were collected. Willingness to receive the human papilloma vaccine was assessed. The data were entered in an excel sheet and subjected to statistical analysis. Out of 90 students 67 responded (74.4%).The mean age of participants was 21.5 ±5.5 years.93.8% people were aware of cervical cancer. 80% of the respondent replied that they are aware about HPV Vaccine.32.4% respondents came to know about HPV vaccine through school/ college.50% respondents are not aware about the doses of HPV vaccine .73.5% respondents have taken the HPV vaccine.97.1% didn't experience any side effects after taking the vaccines .80.9% respondents think that HPV vaccine should be a part of National Immunisation Programme. The study suggests that overall knowledge about cervical cancer and its prevention by HPV vaccine is good amongst medical. 73.5% students have taken HPV vaccine which suggests awareness about vaccine. Inclusion of knowledge about the disease and its prevention in the curriculum will help in the prevention of the cervical cancer. Social media, television, radio and newspaper are other media to create awareness. We recommend inclusion of the vaccination in the National Programme for immunisation.
