Conjunctivitis, also known as pink eye, is a common infection of the conjunctiva caused by viruses that usually clears within 1-2 weeks without treatment. Symptoms include redness, irritation, swelling of the eyelids, and discharge from the eyes. It spreads easily through contact with infected bodily fluids, so proper hand washing is important to prevent spread, and those with active symptoms should stay home from school or work until discharge has resolved.
conjuctivitis is defined as Inflammation or infection of the outer membrane of the eyeball and the inner eyelid.
It is also known by the name Pink eye.
Conjunctivitis can be considered as allergic, viral or bacterial

INTRODUCTION
is inflammation of the outermost layer of the white part
of the eye and the inner surface of the eyelid.
it makes the eye appear pink or reddish Pain, burning,
scratchiness, or itchiness may occur The affected eye may
have increased tears or be "stuck shut" in the morning
Swelling of the white part of the eye may also occur Itching
is more common in cases due to allergie Conjunctivitis can
affect one or both eyes
Pink eye is highly contagious and can be caused by a viral or bacterial infection, an allergic reaction, or coming into contact with an irritant like smoke or dust. Because pink eye can be contagious, early diagnosis and treatment are crucial to limit its spread. For all your eye care needs, visit: https://visionassociates.net

Mal nutrition and systemic disease are also important contributing factors.
Other causes include are eye injury, congenital disorders, retinal detachment, tumors, leprosy etc.
The visual disorder can be found as the following problems.
Amblyopia or subnormal vision in one or both eyes in spite of correction of significant refractive error.
Night blindness – it means inability to well at night or in faint light. It may occur in retinitis, choroidoretinistis, Vit A deficiency, retina toxic drugs.
Double Vision – It is found in squint, ptosis. It may be warning sign of increase IOP, brain tumor, orbital or myasthenia gravis.
Color blindness – It is a genetically determine condition in which color perception is defective or absent. Red and green color deficiency is the usual found. It can be detected at the age of 5 to 6 years’ age.
It is found in about 8% of the male population and is inherited as sex linked recessive trait. Color blindness may be total or partial there is no specific treatment.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!
micro teaching on communication m.sc nursing.pdfAnurag Sharma
Microteaching is a unique model of practice teaching. It is a viable instrument for the. desired change in the teaching behavior or the behavior potential which, in specified types of real. classroom situations, tends to facilitate the achievement of specified types of objectives.
Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.
3. Conjunctivitis/ Eye Flu
Most cases are caused by
common viruses - often the
same ones that cause coughs
and colds
4. Conjunctivitis/ Eye Flu
Infective conjunctivitis is not
serious and clears within a week or
so without leaving any permanent
damage to the eye
5. Symptoms
It usually involves both eyes
though occasionally it may start in
one eye which later spreads to the
other over a few days
6. Symptoms
The eye is red or pink and is
associated with grittiness
and soreness
7. Symptoms
The eyelids become swollen,
and are often stuck together
with gluey material
('discharge') after a sleep
8. Treatment
•Not treatment is an option for mild infections as it
clears on its own within 1-2 weeks.
•Bathing the eyes from inside is not recommended
as it washes off all the germ fighting proteins being
secreted in the tears.
•Lubricant eye drops may be used to reduce eye
discomfort.
10. Prevention
Infective conjunctivitis is contagious and spreads by
touch and through objects touched by infected
hands. To prevent spread to other people:
•Wash your hands regularly, particularly after
touching your eyes.
•Do not share towels, pillows, handkerchiefs or
utensils.
11. When to go to Doctor
All case should be screened to confirm the
diagnosis especially when patient develops ::
•Marked eye pain.
•Intolerance to light (photophobia).
•Spots or blisters on the skin next to the eye.
•Blurring of vision which does not improve
with blinking.
12. Does a patient need to stay off school / work?
The safest approach to avoid
spread is to stay home until
there is no longer any
discharge from the eye(s)
13. Does a patient need to stay off school / work?
Viral conjunctivitis spreads
easily between people.
Younger children, who may
not remember to wash their
hands or avoid touching their
eyes, should probably not
attend school until the
discharge has resolved.
14. Does a patient need to stay off school / work?
Older students or
adults may choose
to attend
school/work,
although they
should limit close
contact with others
15. The Lifeline –Hand Washing
Hand washing is an
essential and highly
effective way to
prevent the spread
of infection
16. The Lifeline –Hand Washing
Hands should be wet with
water and plain soap, and
rubbed together for 15 to
30 seconds. It is not
necessary to use
antibacterial hand soap
17. The Lifeline –Hand Washing
Teach children to wash their
hands before and after eating
and after touching the eyes,
coughing, or sneezing.
18. The Lifeline –Hand Washing
Alcohol-based hand rubs are not
effective against the more common
viruses causing conjunctivitis and are
therefore not recommended for
disinfection of hands.
