The Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) is a seasonal infection prevalent in coastal areas whose intensity varies among various age groups. Escherichia coli is one of the major causative organisms. The current study is to the frequency of UTI in the Coastal region; understand the recent advances in alternative treatment & their efficacy. The known medication for the UTI is quinolones and cephalosporin. Cranberry extract is the only medicine used from a plant source that is expensive and not native to India. The main cause of UTI to spread is a lack of hygiene, sexual intercourse, and inadequate consumption of water. Change in the pH of the urethra during puberty & menopause in women facilitates the growth of opportunistic Uropathogens. Innate immunity can also contribute to the resistance of the body but a recent study says that infection rate varies among individuals considering their age, immunity, and lifestyle. The pathogens causing UTI are developing resistance against multiple drugs. From this study, we understand that Cranberry is the only plant source for the treatment of UTI in combination with antibiotics. There is a need to understand the importance of improving innate immunity and to know the best treatment regime to treat UTI.

The placebo effect has shown prominent results with scientific evidence. It is the methodology of giving placebos that raises questions. There is limited investigation/research on the placebo pain-relieving effects. As the ethical concerns have contended. Many medical service providers use placebo habitually and patients are accepting these interventions. The positive patient-clinician outlook is very essential to develop a clinically meaningful placebo effect in chronic pain patients. For clinical use of placebo, it is important to understand that placebo-based clinical trials yield ethical possibilities and boundaries. Since the placebo effect contributes to active responses, it is possible to enhance the positive placebo effect. Placebo is psycho-neurobiological responses capable of modulating pain and producing variable changes of the different neurobiological bodies at emotive and analytic levels. This development can be achieved by different contextual factors (CFs) presented in the therapeutic encounter between patient and healthcare provider, such as healing rituals and signs. The CFs directly impact the quality of the therapeutic outcome. When we say chronic pain, we know the patient is suffering from some condition for a long period of time. In this scenario, there are high chances of a patient taking some pain management medication. Most chronic pain conditions such as arthritis, osteoarthritis, IBS, fibromyalgia, etc. cannot be cured. Pain with time increases as the patient gains tolerance to the medication therefore the doses of the medication are increased due to no effectivity of the drug is changed. This continues lifelong, due to these heavy pain medications given with the pain causative condition medication causes various negative effects on the body. In Clinical psychology placebo, drug therapy can be very helpful in depression, anxiety disorders, mood disorders, psychotic disorders, etc. Every year, we learn new data about the clinical application of the placebo effect.

Herpes zoster (HZ) is a disease caused by the activation of the virus in the latent phase. The name of the virus is varicella-zoster virus (VZV). This virus remains in the dorsal root ganglia, the collection of neuronal cell bodies. It is known as reactivation because it is a secondary infection. The main or the old infection is chickenpox; it generally occurs in the early stages of life. This secondary infection is caused in the later stages of life in old age patients; if the patient is immunocompromised, this type of infection can cause death or make the patient unconscious. But in the world, many people have a variety of standard or uncommon signs and symptoms of this disease based on their body, diet, area, or even genetic features. This Herpes Zoster acts on the immune response called cell-mediated immunity and decreases it rapidly with the advance of age of the person. In the coming years, the incidences of this disease are gradually increasing because of the weakening of the immune system. The incidences also happened in people with defective immunity of cell-mediated type or due to the abuse of certain drugs. The herpes zoster is caused to the immunosuppressed patient more quickly than the average population. As there is no immune system to defend the body, some secondary infections can also be induced in these conditions and lead to death. This multiple infection can make a differential diagnosis. This review explains and understands the herpes zoster virus causing different complications in the body and other clinical things related to immunocompromised patients.
