These MMUs help people in remote, underserved areas access healthcare at affordable prices on their doorstep. The present record-based study aimed to assess the morbidity profile of the patients attending Mobile Medical Unit camps in the Yadadri-Bhuvanagiri district between April 2022 and December 2022. The MMU is run by the Department of Community and Family Medicine, AIIMS, Bibinagar, in six selected villages of the Yadadri-Bhuvanagiri district. A register is maintained to record the details of patients visiting the MMU camp. Patient's name, age, gender, place, mobile number, height, weight, blood pressure (BP), glucometer Random Blood Sugar, diagnosis, and details of medication dispensed were entered in the register. Diabetes, hypertension, and obesity were diagnosed using the World Health Organization (WHO) criteria, the Eighth Joint National Committee guidelines, and WHO Asia Pacific guidelines, respectively. Mobile Medical Unit Camp data are entered into the Excel database at the end of every month. Since it is a record-based analysis, we used data for analysis between April 7, 2022, and December 31, 2022. A total of 1494 patients were treated in the MMU camps during this period. Among them, 89.4% were adults, and 10.6% were children (less than 18 years). Among 1,336 adult patients, the majority of participants suffered from osteoarthritis, followed by non-communicable diseases (NCDs). The mean scores of systolic and diastolic BP of the adult population were obtained at 131±21 and 77±13 mm Hg, respectively. The mean random blood glucose level of the adult population was 150±74 mg/dl. A total of 158 children were younger than 18 years old, out of whom 78 and 80 participants were males and females, respectively. Moreover, 23.1% and 25% of males and females suffered from upper respiratory tract infections, respectively. The study further suggests that the NCD epidemic is spreading to rural areas where necessary health infrastructure is insufficient.

The present <i>in vivo</i> survey aimed to assess the antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory activity of <i>Ferula elaeochytris</i> Korovin methanolic extract (FEME) in male Swiss mice. After obtaining the methanolic extract through the maceration process, the antinociceptive efficacy of FEME at doses of 25 to 100 mg/kg was assessed by the tail-flick, hot-plate, and formalin tests. Moreover, anti-inflammatory evaluation was performed using the Carrageenan-induced paw edema model. It was found that in the tail-flick and hot plate test, FEME, mainly at the dose of 100 mg/kg, significantly reduced the latency time and increased the time of the observance of licking or jumping, in comparison to normal saline (<i>P</i><0.001). We reported that FEME at 50 and 100 mg/kg significantly decreased pain behaviors in acute and chronic phases in comparison to normal saline (<i>P</i><0.001).

In this study, 60 one-day-old Arain local hybrid broilers were divided into three groups of 20. Group A had the usual vaccination program in broiler flocks (seven days old: B1 type by eye drop and ND killed vaccine intramuscularly; 18 and 28 days old: LaSota strain orally).

Regarding the hemagglutination inhibition serum antibody titer of the birds after the challenge, group B had the highest (7.12±1.05), and group C (6.37±1.31) had a higher titer than group A (6±1.22). After the challenge with the Newcastle virus, the necropsy findings and clinical symptoms of the disease were almost similar in groups A and C.

Through an extensive search of published studies, scientific databases, and relevant literature, we identified several studies conducted in Iran that focused on the prevalence of <i>T. gallinae</i> in different bird populations and their pathological effect. These studies utilized a variety of techniques, including direct microscopic examination, culture methods, and molecular tools to detect and identify the presence of this parasite.
