ABSTRACT- This study was an attempt to estimate the prevalence of fungal isolates in superficial mycoses cases attending IPD and OPD of IIMS&R, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh.A prospective study over a period of six (6) months was conducted from January 2015 to June 2015.The suspected cases of superficial mycoses were subjected to mycological examination with direct microscopy using 10%-40% KOH depending on the types of samples (skin, nail, hair) processed and culture on Sabouraud’s dextrose agar with chloramphenicol and cycloheximide (SDCCA) and also on Potato dextrose agar (PDA) medium. Causative agents were identified macroscopically and microscopically from the growth obtained on SDCCA and PDA. Direct microscopy revealed fungal elements in 78 (66.1%) cases whereas 54 (45.7%) were positive on culture. Out of 54 (45.7%) culture positive samples 6 (15%) were negative on microscopy (KOH mount). Tineacorporis 38 (32.2%) was the most common clinical types and male is to female ratio in relation to clinical types was 2.2:1. Commonest age group affected were 21-30 years with 41 (34.7%) cases. Males were predominantly affected 41 (75.9%) and male to female ratio being 3.1:1. 60% of the patients came from the rural background. College students formed a major chunk of the cases 29 (24.6%) followed by housewives 18 (15.3%) and unskilled workers 16 (13.6%). Trichophyton mentagrophytes 20 (37%) was the predominat isolate followed by T. tonsurans15 (27.7%), T. rubrum3 (5.5%), M. audouinii 3 (5.5%) and T. schoenleinii 2 (3.7%) with no Epidermophyton species. A non-pigmented variant of T. rubrum was identified in this study. Both SDCCA and PDA were found equally effective in isolating fungal isolates from clinical samples in our study. We are reporting change in frequency of dermatophytes isolated from superficial mycoses cases in our region.

Antibiogram of Bacteria Isolated from Wounds of Diabetic Patients on Admissio...Premier Publishers
A major challenge faced by diabetic patients is infected diabetic ulcers usually associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. Worse issues arise from antibiotic resistant microorganisms. This study was conducted to determine the antibiogram of bacteria isolated from wounds of diabetic patients on hospital admission. Nine wound swab samples were collected from nine diabetic in-patients with ulcers. These were processed using standard protocols. Multi antibiotic sensitivity discs (Gram negative and Gram positive) containing ten antibiotics respectively were used. Total of 91 bacterial isolates were obtained belonging to five species. Staphylococcus aureus was most predominant (34.07%) and Proteus mirabilis was the least isolated (7.69%). Pseudomonas aeruginosa showed highest (100%) resistance to the antibiotics used, followed by Proteus mirabilis (90%), Staphylococcus aureus (80%) and Escherichia coli (30%). Klebsiella pneumoniae was 100% susceptible. Streptomycin was the most efficacious antibiotic while Ciprofloxacin and Augmentin were the least. The level of resistance exhibited by these clinical isolates is worrisome and likely to impede treatment outcomes. Streptomycin showed broad spectrum activity and may be the best drug of choice for treating wounds in diabetic patients however, there is need for antibiotic susceptibility testing and consideration of patient’s physiologic disposition before introducing antibiotic regimen.

Infectious diseases, also known as transmissible diseases or communicable diseases, comprise clinically evident illness resulting from the infection, presence and growth of pathogenic biological agents in an individual host organism.
Peripheral neuropathy, a result of nerve damage, often causes pins and pain in your hands and feet. People naturally explain the anxiety of peripheral neuropathy as burning, while they may explain the loss of feeling to the feeling of wearing a thin stock.
Sleeping is one of the most important functions in life and it plays a vital role in keeping our body and mind healthy.Deficiency of sleeping disorders can lead to health illness, accidents, lack of job performance, and stress effects on relationships.
Sinusitis is an inflammation, of the tissue lining the sinuses. A sinus is a hollow, air-filled cavity. Normally, they are filled with air, but when they are blocked and filled with bacteria, viruses, and fungi, thus cause an infection. The main causes for sinus blockage are cold, allergic reactions or polyps in the nasal cavity.
Brain cancers can begin from the primary brain cells, the cells that form other brain elements such as, membrane walls, blood veins, or from the growth of cancer cells that develop in our body organs and that have spread to the brain by the blood vessels.
Radiosurgery is a non-invasive treatment, where physicians use latest technological innovations to provide an accurate amount of radiation for cancer growth without having to scratch into the body.
Rheumatic fever may cause a temporary nervous system disorder. Nowadays it’s known as chorea, or Sydenham’s chorea. This is often a nervous disorder by rapid, jerky, involuntary movements of the body occurring primarily in childhood or during pregnancy and is closely related to rheumatic fever.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter 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.
