Iodine deficiencies are very common, especially in Europe and Third World countries, where the soil and food supply have low iodine levels. Your body uses iodine to make thyroid hormones. That's why an iodine deficiency can cause hypothyroidism, a condition in which the body can't make enough thyroid hormones

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!

CDSCO and Phamacovigilance {Regulatory body in India}NEHA GUPTA
The Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO) is India's national regulatory body for pharmaceuticals and medical devices. Operating under the Directorate General of Health Services, Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, Government of India, the CDSCO is responsible for approving new drugs, conducting clinical trials, setting standards for drugs, controlling the quality of imported drugs, and coordinating the activities of State Drug Control Organizations by providing expert advice.
Pharmacovigilance, on the other hand, is the science and activities related to the detection, assessment, understanding, and prevention of adverse effects or any other drug-related problems. The primary aim of pharmacovigilance is to ensure the safety and efficacy of medicines, thereby protecting public health.
In India, pharmacovigilance activities are monitored by the Pharmacovigilance Programme of India (PvPI), which works closely with CDSCO to collect, analyze, and act upon data regarding adverse drug reactions (ADRs). Together, they play a critical role in ensuring that the benefits of drugs outweigh their risks, maintaining high standards of patient safety, and promoting the rational use of medicines.

Iodised salt and idd
1. Dr Nishant Kumar
Assistant Professor
Department of Community Medicine
Madhubani Medical College , Madhubani , Bihar
2. Iodine is an essential micro nutrient
It is required at 100-150 micrograms daily for normal
human growth and development
Necessary for synthesis of Thyroid hormones
The disorders caused due to nutritional deficiency of
iodine are called Iodine Deficiency Disorders
3. Iodine Deficiency Disorders are a worldwide major
public health problem
Affects people across ages and socio-economic strata
Iodine deficiency is the world’s most prevalent, yet
easily preventable, cause of brain damage
Iodine deficiency disorders (IDD), which can start
before birth, jeopardize children’s mental health and
often their very survival
4. Iodine deficiency during pregnancy can result in
stillbirth, spontaneous abortion, and congenital
abnormalities such as cretinism, a grave, irreversible
form of mental retardation that affects people living
in iodine-deficient areas of Africa and Asia
5. IDD leads to major learning disabilities in children.
Children born in iodine deficient areas were found to
have 13.5 intelligent quotient (IQ) points less than
those in iodine sufficient areas.
54 countries are still iodine-deficient
While it was believed to be endemic to the hilly
regions and few other areas in India, today we know
that not even a single state is free from IDD
11. Iodised salt – A simple, universally effective, attractive
and cheap strategy to combat IDD
Iodine has been added to salt since 1920’s in USA and
Switzerland
However there are still many people at risk of IDD
especially children
12. Vehicle must be a part of the regular daily diet
Amount of nutrient added must provide an effective
supplement for low consumers of the vehicle
Not harmful to high consumers
Not cause noticeable change in the taste, smell,
appearance or consistency
Cost should be economical
13. The nutrient added should not adversely affect the
metabolism of any other nutrient
The nutrient's added should be sufficiently stable in the food
under customary conditions of packaging, storage,
distribution and use
The nutrient(s) added should be physiologically available
from the food
14. Spray mixing
Drip feed process
Dry mixing (not used anymore)
15. 1950’s- Kangra, Himachal Pradesh Prof
Ramalingaswamy found the association between
iodine deficiency and goitre and that it could be
cured by addition of potassium iodate in salt used
for consumption
It was a landmark study
1962- National Goitre Control Programme
launched
16. 1983- NGCP reviewed as production did not meet
the demand of all goitre endemic areas. Moving
towards recognising IDD as a national health
problem, universal iodisation of edible salt.
1992- programme modified and renamed as
“National Iodine Deficiency Disorders Control
Program (NIDDCP).
GOI advised all states to ensure mandatory salt
iodization for direct human consumption under
the provisions of Prevention of Food Adulteration
(PFA) Act, 1954
17. 1997- ban on sale of non-iodised salt for direct
human consumption throughout the country
2000- ban was lifted, again to be reinstated in 2005
after sustained advocacy
2006- PFA replaced by Food Safety and Standards
Act, 2006
Today we have Universal Salt Iodisation
18.
19. Renamed in 1992
Goal :
1. To bring the prevalence of IDD to below 5% in the
country
2. To ensure 100% consumption of adequately iodated
salt (15ppm) at the household level.
20. Objectives:
Surveys to assess the magnitude of Iodine Deficiency
Disorders in the districts.
Supply of iodated salt in place of common salt.
Resurveys to assess iodine deficiency disorders and the
impact of iodated salt after every 5 years in the districts.
Laboratory monitoring of iodated salt and urinary iodine
excretion.
Health education and publicity
22. There are state IDD cells and state IDD monitoring
labs
Adequately iodated salt- 15ppm at household level
Has to be 30ppm at the point of production
Laboratory monitoring of salt for iodine content at
household level (> 15ppm) and urinary iodine
excretion (optimal >100 µg/l)
Salt Testing Kits (for household level estimation)
Total Goitre Rate should be <5%
