This study assessed serum immunoglobulin E (IgE) levels in 50 children diagnosed with bronchial asthma and 50 healthy children aged 3-15 years. The mean IgE level was significantly higher in the asthma group (268.72 IU/L) compared to the control group (97.58 IU/L). 54% of asthma patients were male. IgE is associated with type I hypersensitivity reactions and elevated levels may indicate an allergic basis for asthma. The results demonstrate a direct correlation between elevated serum IgE levels and bronchial asthma in children.

The severity and mortality of COVID 19 cases has been associated with the Three category such as vaccination status, severity of disease and outcome. Objective presently study was aimed to assess the severity and mortality among covid 19 patients. Methods Using simple lottery random method 100 samples were selected. From these 100 patients, 50 patients were randomly assigned to case group and 50 patients in control group after informed consents of relative obtained. Patients in the case group who being died after got COVID 19 whereas 50 patients in the control group participated who were survive after got infected from COVID 19 patients. Result It has three categories such as a Vaccination status For the vaccination status we have seen 59 patients were not vaccinated and 41 patients was vaccinated out of 100. b Incidence There were 41 patients were vaccinated whereas 59 patients were not vaccinated. c Severity In the case of mortality we selected 50 patients who were died from the Corona and I got to know that out of 50 patients there were 12 24 patients were vaccinated whereas 38 76 patients were non vaccinated. Although for the 50 control survival group total 29 58 patients were vaccinated and 21 42 patients was not vaccinated all graph start. Conclusion we have find out that those people who got vaccinated were less infected and mortality rate very low.

Clinical Safety and Side Effects of Intra Dermal regimen of Tissue culture Anti-rabies Vaccine-Rabies is 100% fatal but preventable disease. WHO recommends Tissue culture Anti-rabies Vaccines for post exposure treatment but this prophylaxis becomes expensive. So for reducing the 1/6th cost of this prophylaxis intradermal ARV regime was also recommended. But again there is a question mark for balance between cost effectiveness and safty so this cross sectional study was carried out in year 2013 on 654 recipients of Purified Chick Embriyo Cell Vaccine (PCECV) anti-rabis vaccine (ARV) at Anti Rabies Clinic (ARC) of a tertiary-care teaching hospital (SMS) at Jaipur, Rajasthan. Side effects were observed during the follow up visits on days 3, 7 and 28. Though all the recipients complained of local side effects at site of inoculation but these symptoms were relieved by simple administration of paracetamol and ceterizine orally. The side effects (local symptoms) noted on First dose were local itch (4%), local pain (3.8%), low grade fever (2.1%) and the local signs noted are local induration (22.3%), local erythema (1.2%). Same pattern of sign and symptoms were observed in D3 and D7 dose of injection but in decreased frequency. None of the cases had anaphylaxis or regional lymphadenopathy. Thus, this cost effective way of treating the animal bite cases using PCECV in Intra Dermal Rabies Vaccination (IDRV) is recommended to deal with the burden of animal bite cases for the prevention of Rabies in India.

"ABSTRACT
Background. Asthma is a chronic airway inflammation. There is increasing evidence confirming in severe or persistent asthma systemic inflammation can occur. Spillover of inflammatory mediators into the circulation is generally considered to be the source of this systemic inflammation. Obesity is well known to be associated with systemic inflammation too. Both asthma and obesity often occur in the same individual. We examined the independent and synergistic associations of asthma uncontrolled and obesity with systemic inflammation using high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP).
Methods. This was an observational study with cross-sectional approach in 48 asthma subjects with aged 18 – 55 years old without diabetes, cardiovascular disease, hypertension and non smoker. The study was performed in the Hasanuddin Teaching Hospital South Sulawesi Indonesia. Asthma control was assessed using asthma control test (ACT).
Results : Mean of hs-CRP levels were significantly higher in uncontrolled asthma than controlled asthma (4.23 + 3.11 vs 0.92 + 0.61 ; p=0.001). The high hs-CRP levels were most found in uncontrolled asthma patients than controlled asthma. Obese Subject with uncontrolled asthma have higher hs-CRP levels compared to obese subject with controlled asthma (p=0.026). In non obese subject with uncontrolled asthma have also siginificant higher hs-CRP compared to non obese controlled asthma (p=0.005). Hs-CRP level significantly higher in uncontrolled asthma both in obese and non-obese subject. Hs-CRP levels in asthma subject were not influenced by age (p=1.000), gender (p=0.822), family history of asthma (p=0.117), long duration of asthma (p=0.117) and used of steroid. (p=0.358).
Conclusion : Uncontrolled Asthma associated with systemic inflammation both in obese and non obese subject. These findings underline a potensial CVD risk in asthma especially with uncontrolled status.

Determination of baseline Widal titre among apparently healthy population in ...IOSR Journals
Present study was conducted to determine the baseline widal titer of healthy population of Dehradun city. A total of 300 serum samples were collected from healthy individual with no history of fever and who had not received any vaccination for enteric fever. Tube agglutination test was done with commercially available antigens which contained the Salmonella enterica serovar typhi O and H antigens, the Salmonella enterica serovar paratyphi AH antigen and paratyphi BH antigen. In the present study an agglutination titer for TO – 1:20 is 28%, for 1:40 is 24%, followed by 1:80 and 1: 160 which is 10%, 4% respectively. The highest sample with an anti-H titre found with 1:20 (22%) followed by 1:40(17%). Based upon the results of the study it has been recommended that a single Widal can be significant in an endemic region when higher titre (1:160) is obtained.
ABSTRACT- Aim: The present study was to know the seroprevalence of Hepatitis C virus among indoor and outdoor patients of a teaching ter-tiary care hospital in North India. Study design: Place and duration of study: Department of Microbiology, Pt. B. D. Sharma PGIMS Rohtak, Haryana, India, between August 2013 to July 2014. Methodology: This is a retrospective study performed on blood samples collected from patients of all ages and both sexes. Commercially available Erba Lisa Hepatitis C ELISA kits were used which detects anti-HCV IgG antibodies. Statistical analysis was performed when two or more variables were needed to compare. SPSS version 17 was used to calculate P value. Results: The prevalence of HCV was 3.74% in our study. 72.7% were from males and 27.3% were from females. Highest number of positive sam-ples was from 11-20 years age group (5.6%). The positivity for anti-HCV antibodies was higher in indoor samples (7.8%) as compared to outdoor samples (2.3%). Conclusion: Strict need to follow universal precautions for HCV control and education of public so that high risk activities should be controlled.

Food allergy has been long recognized and well documented. Other adverse reactions to foods first referred to as “toxic idiopathies” by John Freeman, co inventor of immunotherapy, at the early part of the 1900s can be mediated by and have their impact on the nervous and endocrine systems. It can also be mediated by pharmacologic mechanisms and can also affect any part of the body. There’s a great clinical need to accurately identify triggers of adverse reactivity as they have now been linked with even the most serious of modern maladies and diseases. In fact, inflammation is the hallmark of metabolic syndrome. Given the multitude of pathogenic mechanisms underlying adverse reactions to foods and other environmental exposures it is necessary that a utilizable and cost effective technology be understood so that its application be utilized under the appropriate circumstances.
KEY LEARNING POINTS
• The natural ability of certain foods to initiate an inflammatory response and induce metabolic disruptions and counterbalancing mechanisms to prevent that
• How foods can trigger “danger signals” for the immune system
Pharmacologic vs. immunologic reactions to foods
• Is there a common final pathway of all these mechanisms that can reliably indicate triggers of clinical pathology?
• Cellular testing vs. serologic testing: The advantages of cellular testing

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

2. 2 Gajanand Joshi et al.: Assessment of Serum Immunoglobulin E Level
in Children with Bronchial Asthma in North West Rajasthan
Venous blood samples (5ml) were collected from each of
the study and control group subjects under universal aseptic
precautions and transferred to pre-labeled, clean, metal free,
plain test tubes (having no anticoagulants). These samples
were left at room temperature for 20 minutes (allowing to be
clotted), centrifuged at 2500 rpm for 15 minutes and
supernatant serum was sent to Immuno Assay Lab for the
evaluation of immunoglobulin E by means of Enzyme
Linked Immuno Sorbent Assay (ELISA).
Results were recorded and analyzed using Microsoft Excel
2007 and Biostatistics OPSTAT Software. Quantitative
variables were summarized as mean ± standard deviation.
Student’s T – test was applied to assess statistical
significance. P value <0.05 was considered as significant.
3. Results
In present study, we observed that mean age of patients
with childhood asthma (n=50) was 8.14 ± 3.65 years and
median age was 8 years, age range being 3 to 15 years (Table
1). 28% of the asthmatic patients (14/50) were between the
age of 3-5 years and 48% (24/50) between 6-10 years old,
while 24% (12/50) were between 11-15 years age (Figure 1
& 2). Out of the total (50) patients, 54% (27/50) were males
and 46% (23/50) were females (i.e. male/female ratio 1.17/1)
(Figure 3). A corresponding number of healthy subjects with
same age and sex were selected as a control group (n=50).
Mean concentration of trace protein immunoglobulin E
was calculated to be 268.72 ± 130.14 IU/L in childhood
asthma patients while the control group had the value of
97.58± 25.10 IU/L (Table 2) in the present study. Serum IgE
concentrations in all the patients and control individuals have
been depicted in diagram (Figure 4).
Statistical analysis (Table 2) shows that on applying
student’s t – test, difference between concentrations
observed among both the study groups is found to be
statistically highly significant (P <0.0001).
So, it can be stated that mean concentration of trace
protein IgE has a direct correlation with asthma in children,
i.e., IgE levels are significantly high among childhood
asthma patients when compared with control.

4. Discussion
The present study had shown that among the patients with
childhood asthma, 27 (54%) of individuals were males,
which is comparable with other studies done by Kakaras &
Al-Rabaty [3] (54% males), Mahmood [4] (70% males
patients), Hazim [5] (71% males), Kalyoncu et al [6] (73%
males) and Hasan [7] (62% male asthmatic patients).
Ghaffari et al [8] also reported high significant levels of
IgE in BA patients, which is in accordance with the present
study. I-Jen Wang wt al [9] and Joseph et al [10] suggested
that excessive production of IgE might increase the risk of
asthma among children who were basically being screened
for serum lead (Pb) levels. The increase of serum total IgE
level could be due to assess of allergic base of asthma
(expression of TH2 cytokines such as IL4). [11]
All the above results and whole discussion leads us to the
fact that trace protein Immunoglobulins E (IgE) definitely
have its effects on body immunity and alteration in its levels
can contribute to induce or could have a strong correlation
with bronchial asthma among children.
5. Conclusions
Serum Immunoglobulin E (IgE) level has a strong direct
correlation with bronchial asthma among children. Serum
IgE levels being highly significant among the patients (P
<0.0001) with childhood asthma when compared with
healthy individuals of similar age and sex. In conclusion, the
elevated level of serum IgE may exhibit the allergic etiology
of asthma in the subjects studied. Increase in severity of
asthma leads to increase in the level of immunoglobulin level.
Consequently elevation in serum IgE levels contributes to
asthma and is considered a potent predictor of the
development of asthma. This study is a preliminary
investigation and it has of course certain limitations. Lack of
local references levels in another limiting factor. Further
wider scale studies are required for better assessment of IgE
status in childhood bronchial asthma.
