Among the total of 303 individuals screened at the village level, 64 [21%(CI 17-25)] had a higher risk for CVD. 235 people attended the special consultation; among them, 212 underwent ECG and 88 underwent ECHO. Among those screened with ECHO, 18 had some cardiac pathologies. The relationship between CVD risk and other factors is shown in.  https://www.selleckchem.com/products/cp2-so4.html  After final adjustment, illiteracy [adjusted prevalence ratio (aPR) 1.8 (0.1-3.1)], anemia [aPR 1.8 (1-3.6)], and chronic renal diseases [aPR 1.8 (1.0-3.4)] were found to be associated with high risk for CVD among hypertension and diabetes groups.
 
  Cardiovascular disease risk assessment using WHO/ISH chart showed an association with poor education, anemia, and chronic kidney disease.

  Surgical extraction of mandibular third molars is an important and one of the most frequently performed operative procedures in dentistry. There are a variety of postoperative complications that may follow this procedure. These include pain, trismus, infection, dry socket, or alveolar osteitis. Numerous techniques have been used for reducing these morbid conditions. These range from flap designs, suture placement, use of various irrigating solutions, etc.
 
  The present study aimed to compare the effectiveness of three irrigating solutions Ozonated water, normal saline, and povidone-iodine in reducing postoperative complications following surgical removal of impacted mandibular third molars.
 
  A total of 100 study participants formed the sample size of this study. Study subjects were categorized into three groups Group I (third molar surgeries using ozonated water), Group II (third molar surgeries with normal saline irrigation), and Group III (third molar surgeries using povidone-iodine irrigation). Parameters studied postoperatively were alveolar osteitis (dry socket), pain, trismus, and infection after a week interval. All data obtained were entered in Microsoft Excel 2007 worksheets and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) as a statistical tool was employed. A 
  value of < 0.01 was considered statistically significant.
 
  It was found that ozonated water provided the best statistically proven results with comparison to normal saline and povidone-iodine in reducing the incidence of alveolar osteitis or dry socket and pain. No statistically significant difference was observed in the incidence of trismus and infection rate among three studied groups.
 
  Ozonated water is the best irrigating solution when compared to normal saline and povidone-iodine in terms of reduction in pain and dry socket after a 1-week duration.

  As compared to other parts of the country, vaccination coverage and literacy rate in district Mewat, State Haryana (India) had been low, that is, 20.8-27% and 54%, respectively. National immunization program of the country was being implemented primarily through the field workers, and accredited social health activists (ASHAs) were one of the key grass root level link workers.
 
  Hence, this study was carried out with the objective to identify barriers to childhood vaccination by field staff in field practice area of SHKM Govt Medical College Nalhar, Mewat as perceived by ASHAs and health workers.
 
  The current study was a qualitative research which was conducted in the field practice area attached to SHKM Government Medical College Nalhar Mewat. Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) were carried out among health workers (MPHW-F/M) and ASHAs.
 
  None.
 
  The barriers to childhood vaccination as identified in the study are pain during vaccination and other side effects, additional expenditure on treatment of side effed, denial by elders, lack of cash benefits, inaccessibility to vaccination services due to remote work places, people's beliefs in supernatural causes of childhood diseases, delayed BCG vaccination, etc., The barriers to childhood vaccination from the perspective of ASHAs and health workers are explored and identified which can be utilized in tailoring the efforts and strategies to improve the vaccination coverage.
  Heart failure leading to renal dysfunction and vice-versa termed as Cardio-Renal Syndrome(CRS) has now been increasingly identified as a marker of higher morbidity and mortality. Till date, there is limited data available regarding clinical profile, associated risk factors and outcome of CRS in rural population of central India. This study was conducted to elucidate the prevalence, risk factors, and outcome of CRS and its types.
 
  This was a single-centric, cross-sectional study conducted amongst the patients admitted to medicine wards and ICCU from October 2017 to September 2019. Classification given by RONCO 
  . in 2008 was used for classifying CRS patients into various types. Cross-sectional data was used to find the prevalence, risk factors and their inter-relationship with outcome and mortality. STATA software was used for statistical analysis.
 
  Out of 96 CRS patients, 47(48.96%) were Type 1, 22 (22.92%) were type 2, 19(19.79%) were type 4 and 3 (3.13% ) were type 3, and 5 (5.21%) were of type 5. Most common risk factor was Hypertension (HTN) found in 46 (47.92%), followed closely by Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) and anaemia. Mortality was seen in 44(45.83%) of CRS patients and it was significantly high. High mortality was common in patients of types 3 and type 5 CRS. Risk factors like HTN, CAD, smoking, reduced glomerular filtration rate, low ejection fraction and sepsis were significantly associated with worse outcomes across all CRS sub-types.
 
  There is high mortality among CRS. Prevention or optimal management of HTN, CAD and sepsis is required to decrease mortality. There is need for more population based studies for confirming our study findings.
