In Ayurveda, all human beings are categorised into basic sub-seven types based on their constitution. Along with this, ageing can be accelerated by lifestyle choices and environmental conditions to which our genes are exposed. The primary objective of the cross-sectional analysis was to find the association between prakriti and self-perception of premature ageing. Methodology: For the present study, a total of 100 participants, who were found positive for self-perception of pre-mature ageing and were fulfilling the other inclusion criteria, were eligible. The analysis of self-perception of pre-mature ageing was done by using The Brief Ageing Perception Questionnaire (B-APQ). The assessment of prakriti was done with a validated Prakriti Analysis Pro forma prepared by the Central Council for Research in Ayurvedic Sciences (CCRAS), New Delhi, India. Result: The prevalence of self-perception of pre-mature ageing was maximum among vata prakriti (58, 58%) and minimum in kapha prakriti (18, 18%). A significant association of male and female participants was found with three questions of B-APQ by applying Fisher Exact test. No significant association was found between the group of vata, pitta and kapha dominant prakriti with individual B-APQ on applying independent-samples Kruskal-Wallis test. As per descriptive analysis, vata prakriti individuals were more vulnerable to the self-perception of premature ageing as per B-APQ while kapha prakriti was the least. The distribution of individual B-APQ was the same across all categories of prakriti.","PeriodicalId":89674,"journal":{"name":"Epidemiology Research International","volume":"67 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82647030","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}

WHO has defined wound classifications for taking decisions on Rabies Post Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP) after bites. Some experts have suggested a change in WHO classification to include another category IV in severe wounds. As we work in the rabies endemic country contributing the highest number of rabies deaths annually, we discuss what changes in Rabies PEP classification are actually required based on our clinical practice. We discuss here how the lives of victims of rabid animals were saved and what factors led to the failures of PEP. We also discuss why there is no need to expand existing wound classification to category IV and no need to use higher concentrations of RIG for severe wounds like those on the head and neck. We recommend omitting category II and keeping only categories I and III for wound classification for rabies PEP based on our clinical experience with rabid dog bites and scratches i.e. either there is exposure or no exposure using spirit test in doubtful abrasions without bleeding. Moreover, because the rabies virus attaches to the nerve at the site of the bite and there is no viraemia in rabies infection, therefore, to classify a scratch or abrasion with or without bleeding is not rational.","PeriodicalId":89674,"journal":{"name":"Epidemiology Research International","volume":"17 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82816631","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}

A total prevalence for neurotic and stress-related disorders was identified to be 6.2% for Jharkhand. This compromised psychological health of students precipitates the form of multiple mental health disorders including stress. This study aims to determine the prevalence of stress and explores various factors associated with it. Methods: A college-based cross-sectional study was conducted online on Google forms in degree colleges offering three or more three-year program courses in the Giridih district of Jharkhand. The study participants were 236 college students in between 18-30 years of age. This included the Perceived Stress Scale and captured various independent factors. Results: The prevalence of stress among college-going students in Giridih, Jharkhand was estimated at 5% for low stress, 89% for moderate stress and 6% for high stress. Factors such as sleeping in free time, reading in free time, social media or television or gaming in free time and close family members with a history of depression were found to be associated with stress. Conclusion: This study documents the high prevalence of stress in college-going students and explores the various factors that could possibly be the reason for stress in students. Identification of such factors is important for students to pave a progressive future pathway to achieve overall good physical, mental as well as psychological health.","PeriodicalId":89674,"journal":{"name":"Epidemiology Research International","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89182006","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}

India is the most populous country; inadequate healthcare infrastructure and lack of insurance coverage were the main concerns. Here, self-care and preventive measure is the only option to deal with the pandemic and such virus. Objective: To analyze the awareness about the self-care and preventive measures for Coronavirus in India. Methods: This study analyses the self-care and preventive measures taken against the Coronavirus by the people in India. The study collected the data of 517 Indian respondents through the questionnaire (i.e., based on a convenience sampling technique). The statistical tools used frequency, percentage, and correlation. Results: Most respondents reported the Coronavirus infection causes symptoms like cough, fever, shortness of breath, stomachache, sore throat, and cold (i.e., 86.3, 87.8, 81.4, 88.4, 77.4, and 72.0 percent of respondents, respectively). Most of the respondents agreed that wearing masks (77.2 percent), gloves (66.9 percent), and hand hygiene (88.8 percent) could prevent the spreading of the virus. Conclusion: The findings concluded that most people were aware of self-care and preventive measures and Coronavirus symptoms. Social media acted as the fastest route to make people more aware of information dissemination which prevented pandemics’ outbursts.","PeriodicalId":89674,"journal":{"name":"Epidemiology Research International","volume":"66 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83898026","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}

Material and Methods: The study was descriptive observational (retrospective) in nature, which was carried out at Indian Naval Training Establishment and Indian Naval Hospital Ship. The following information was collected: (a) Batch-wise comparison of data of recruits at Indian Naval Training establishment (where two major batches undergo training every year) was done for the occurrence year (2014) and the preceding 03 years i.e 2011, 2012 and 2013. Further, data on cases of pneumonia was collected from Indian Naval Hospital Ship as recorded by the hospital for last 03 years (2011, 2012 & 2013) and the year 2014, using an epidemiological format. Results: (a) Overcrowding. (b) Confirmation of existence of Outbreak. (c) Distribution of cases as per symptomatology and X-ray findings. (d) Manmade overcrowding, physical and psychological stress of military training exposes non-immune persons to several pathogens. The study confirms overcrowding with per capita standard for floor space and air space being 5 sqm and 18 m 3. The recommended distance between two adjacent beds is 1.8m 1 Infact, they were even below the standard of 4 sqm recommended by WHO 4. A positive Correlation is known to exist between overcrowding and incidence of pneumonia 5. Conclusion: Batch-wise comparison of cases and incidence of LRTI/ Pneumonia confirmed the outbreak. Further, there were no cases of Pneumonia amongst training staff (officers & sailors) and other civilian in adjoining areas. Consequent to increase in induction pattern at Naval Training Establishment, coupled with absence of accompanying increase. Consequently, analysis of living conditions established that overcrowding existed in dormitories, dining areas and all facilities related to training.","PeriodicalId":89674,"journal":{"name":"Epidemiology Research International","volume":"23 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76640712","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}
