MATERIALS AND METHOD: A cross sectional study was conducted among 2953 undergraduate clinical students of third year, fourth year and Internship were enrolled in the study from 18 dental colleges in Delhi- National Capital Region (NCR) using a pre-tested, self-administered questionnaire was employed as an instrument. The questionnaire’s content, face and criterion validity were checked and reliability was tested using Cronbach’s Alpha and Inter Class Co-relation. Statistical analysis used included quantitative statistics, student t test and ANOVA. RESULTS: Students demonstrated considerable knowledge regarding smoking related policies in the institution, technique and products used for smoking cessation and impact of smoking on oral health, general health and treatments to be performed. However, only half of them had a positive attitude towards tobacco cessation counselling to patients and practice this in the hospital setting. CONCLUSION: Based on the results of the study, there is a need to further motivate students on smoking cessation advice.","PeriodicalId":306248,"journal":{"name":"International Healthcare Research Journal","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130497190","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Around 213 countries were affected by the deadly virus and encountered a mob of dead. After analyzing the genome, we can say that the Coronavirus originates in bats and gets transmitted to humans. Although the intermediate source of origin and transmission to humans is unknown, rapid human-to-human transmission has been evinced. SARS-CoV-2 is phylogenetically related to a group of bat viruses known to cause severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS-CoV). Both viruses (SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV2) belong to the same family of beta coronaviruses. The first case of SARS-CoV2 infection was reported from Wuhan, China. Till now, there have been 577,018,226 confirmed cases of Covid-19 worldwide. More than 6 million people have succumbed to this deadly disease worldwide. Presently, the urgent need to develop a drug and vaccine that could cure this disease is fulfilled. This current review summarizes the origin of SARS-CoV2, its genome structure, pathogenicity and phylogenetic analysis of the virus, and its epidemiology. We have also discussed the existing drugs and approved vaccines that are presently treating humanity.

The harmful effects of active smoking and second hand smoke on health are now well documented. Third-hand smoke (THS) and fourth-hand smoke exposure, on the other hand, are relatively new terms that have only recently been defined in the context of environmental and public health. Third-hand smoke is composed of pollutants that accumulate indoors when tobacco is smoked. Third-hand smoke is constituted of chemicals that adhere to surfaces. THS contains tobacco smoke components that can linger on interior surfaces and in dust for months before being gaseously released back into the atmosphere. Humans who have been exposed to third parties are more likely to develop cancer, have DNA damage, and heal wounds more slowly. Pregnant women are at an increased risk of stillbirth, premature birth, and sudden infant death syndrome (crib death). Smoking is a learned behaviour. Like third hand smoke fourth hand smoke also pose a potential health threat to children and young adults. When people see their role models, on-screen celebrities, friends, and co-workers smoking, the behaviour becomes normalised and acceptable. It is too early to predict the combined health effects of third and fourth hand smoke. Probably the most important intervention would be to raise public awareness of the problem, which adds yet another reason to remain active in the anti-smoking campaign.","PeriodicalId":306248,"journal":{"name":"International Healthcare Research Journal","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130020455","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

AIM: To assess the prevalence of MIH in school children aged 8-12 years in District Bulandshahr, Uttar Pradesh, India. MATERIALS AND METHOD: This cross-sectional study was conducted by examining 793 school children aged 8-12 years in various schools. ental examinations were conducted by four standardized examiners and four recording assistants who entered data in a pre-tested and pre-validated proforma. MIH was clinically identified by the ten-point scoring criteria given by European Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (EAPD) 2011. Data was analyzed using SPSS version 24.0 and the student’s t-test and multivariate logistic regression. RESULTS: Out of 793 children, 186 were diagnosed with MIH (23.5%) with its prevalence reported to be more in boys (102, 54.8%) in comparison to girls (84, 45.2%). The most commonly affected tooth was the mandibular left first permanent molar (22.4%). There was a statistically significant difference reported between gender (p=0.03) and maxillary and mandibular molars (p=0.02), whereas there was no significant difference among MIH involvement on the site (right and left). CONCLUSION: As per the data suggested by the present study, it is important that students be screened regularly for the same so that they can be provided early and prompt treatment.
