Measles, mumps, and rubella are acute viral diseases. Measles causes respiratory symptoms and rash, spreading via respiratory routes. Mumps primarily causes parotid gland swelling but can also cause orchitis and meningitis, spreading through respiratory droplets. Rubella spreads similarly and can cause birth defects if acquired during pregnancy. Laboratory diagnosis for all three involves virus detection by cell culture isolation or nucleic acid testing, as well as antibody detection by techniques like ELISA.

Brief and easily understandable description on measles along with images for undergraduate students. this presentation would help in picturising what measles is.
Rubella, also known as German measles or three-day measles, is an infection caused by the rubella virus. This disease is often mild with half of the people not realizing that they are infected. A rash may start around two weeks after exposure and last for three days.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

2. MEASLES
• Measles is an acute, highly contagious childhood
disease, characterized by fever and respiratory
symptoms, followed by typical maculopapular
rash.
3. Pathogenesis
• Transmission occurs predominantly via the respiratory
route.
• Spread: The virus multiplies locally in the respiratory
• tract; then spreads to the regional lymph nodes → enters
into the bloodstream in infected monocytes (primary
viremia) → further multiplies in reticuloendothelial
system → spills over into blood (secondary viremia) →
disseminates to various sites.
4.
5. Lab diagnosis
Specimen: Nasopharyngeal swab
Antigen detection: By using anti-nucleoprotein
antibodies.
Virus isolation:
Monkey or human kidney CPE as multinucleated
giant cells
Antibody detection: Against nucleoprotein antigen
by ELISA or neutralization tests.
Reverse-transcription PCR--detects viral RNA.
6. MUMPS VIRUS
• Mumps virus is the most common cause of
parotid gland enlargement in children.
• In severe cases, it can also cause orchitis and
aseptic meningitis.
7. Pathogenesis
• Transmission is through the respiratory route via droplets,
saliva, and fomites.
• Primary replication occurs in the nasal mucosa or upper
respiratory mucosa → infects mononuclear cells and
regional lymph nodes → spills over to blood stream
resulting in viremia → dissemination.
• Target sites: Mumps virus has a special affinity for
glandular epithelium. The classic sites include the salivary
glands, testes, pancreas, ovaries., mammary glands and
central nervous system.
8.
9. Laboratory diagnosis
• Specimen: Buccal or oral swab
• Antigen detection by direct IF test
• Viral isolation
• Primary monkey kidney cell lines
• Shell vial technique
• Serum antibodies by ELISA, neutralization test,
hemagglutination inhibition test
• RT PCR: detects viral RNA
10. Rubella virus
• Rubella belongs to Togaviridae family, and is the
only member under genus Rubivirus
• It is enveloped, single-stranded RNA virus
measuring 50-70 nm in size.
• Its envelope contains a lipid layer from which
two types of spike-like glycoproteins (El and E2)
are projected.
• There is only one serotype and humans are its
only known reservoir.
11.
12. Types of rubella infections
• Rubella may present as postnatal infection or congenital
infection.
• Postnatal Rubella
• Postnatal rubella may occur during neonatal age,
childhood, and adult life.
• Transmission
• Rubella virus spreads from person to person by
respiratory droplets via upper respiratory mucosa.
13. Spread
• Rubella virus replicates locally in the nasopharynx, and
then spreads to the lymph nodes.
• Subsequently, viremia develops after 7-9 days, and lasts
until 14th day by which time both antibody and rashes
appear almost simultaneously suggesting an immunologic
basis for the appearance of rash.
14. Congenital Rubella Syndrome
• The most serious consequence of rubella virus infection
is Congenital Rubella Syndrome.
• Rubella is highlyI teratogenic and is included in the list
of the agents causing congenital infection known as
'TORCH complex [Toxoplasma, Others (e.g. varicella,
agenr of syphilis), Rubella virus, Cytomegalovirus and
Herpes simplex virus].
15. Transmission
• Both die risk of transmission to fetus and severity of
congenital infection are maximum if the mother
acquires the virus during first trimester of pregnancy.
• • Risk after 5th month of pregnancy is almost
negligible
• (90% risk ar 11 weeks vs 20% risk ar 20 weeks of
gestation).
16. Laboratory diagnosis
• Specimen: Nasopharyngeal or throat swabs
• Virus isolation:
• In monkey or rabbit origin cell lines and then growth
detected by viral interference
• Antibody detection: By HAI or ELISA
