AbstractCold injury refers to local or systemic injury caused by a rapid, massive loss of body heat in a cold environment. The incidence of cold injury is high. However, the current situation regarding the diagnosis and treatment of cold injury in our country is not ideal. To standardize and improve the level of clinical diagnosis and treatment of cold injury in China, it is necessary to make a consensus that is practical and adapted to the conditions in China. We used the latest population-level epidemiological and clinical research data, combined with relevant literature from China and foreign countries. The consensus was developed by a joint committee of multidisciplinary experts. This expert consensus addresses the epidemiology, diagnosis, on-site emergency procedures, in-hospital treatment, and prevention of cold injury.

Neurologic Sequelae

Children still die or suffer permanent neurologic sequelae as a result of bacterial meningitis. Prompt diagnosis and aggressive management are the goals, but early signs of meningitis are often subtle and nonspecific and, therefore, may be recognized only in retrospect. The physician must identify among the many febrile children seen every day in office practice—most of whom have spontaneously resolving illnesses usually caused by viruses—the few children who have serious bacterial infection requiring early intervention. No single test or battery of tests replaces the clinical acumen of the physician in identifying the child with early signs of bacterial meningitis. Because of controversies about diagnosis and treatment of meningitis voiced in various forums, including the courtroom, the Task Force on Diagnosis and Management of Meningitis has been asked by the Executive Board of the American Academy of Pediatrics to prepare a report on the causes, diagnosis, management, and outcome of meningitis in infants and children. This task force selected for discussion issues of current relevance and controversy in the diagnosis and treatment of bacterial and nonbacterial meningitis. Many other aspects of meningitis are discussed elsewhere. Commentaries on the prevention of disease by chemoprophylaxis (antimicrobial agents) or immunoprophylaxis (vaccines) have been prepared by the Committee on Infectious Diseases of the American Academy of Pediatrics. In addition the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (Centers for Disease Control, Atlanta) publishes recommendations on vaccine usage and chemoprophylaxis formulated by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices. These resources are of value to the practitioner who cares for children and needs information on optimal measures for the treatment and prevention of meningitis.

Background: Malaria is one of the world’s important parasitic diseases ever known to mankind. The global toll of malaria in 2010 there were an estimated 216 million cases of malaria worldwide. India is predominantly characterized by unstable malaria transmission. In Andhra Pradesh among five endemic districts East Godavari is one. We made an attempt to report knowledge and practices on malaria regarding its causation, transmission, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment and prevention.Methods: Using a systematic random method a total of 1136 participants were interviewed in four tribal P.H.C areas of East Godavari district. P.H.C‘s was identified by using a multistage random method. A semi-structured questionnaire which consists questions on malaria causation, transmission, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment and prevention were used as a tool to interview them. Data were entered into excel sheets and analysed by giving scorings and its categorization as good, average and poor.Results: Knowledge among study participants on Cause, diagnosis and treatment of malaria 41.67%, man mosquito contact among study participants- 22.53%. Attitude among study participants regarding cause, diagnosis and treatment of malaria 56.22%, mosquito breeding places 45.77%, prevention of man mosquito contact 46.71%. Practices among study participants on preventive practices on cause, diagnosis and treatment 49.56%, prevention of mosquito breeding places and man mosquito contact- 42.54%.Conclusions: In our study we found more knowledge regarding cause, diagnosis and treatment of malaria. Attitudes for prevention of mosquito breeding places are quite high. Less than half of the preventive practices were reported.

Background: Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer among women worldwide. The prevention and control of cervical cancer depends on awareness about the disease, screening procedures, and preventive measures. Objectives of this study was to assess the awareness levels on various aspects of cervical cancer among women aged 25-65 years, and to assess the impact of health education intervention among them.Methods: This community-based interventional study was conducted for a period of 15 months among 250 women aged 25-65 years by cluster sampling method in a rural population. Data on all aspects of awareness about cervical cancer, i.e., risk factors, signs and symptoms, diagnosis and treatment and prevention were collected using a pre-tested semi-structured proforma. This was followed by a post-test 2 months after health education.Results: Overall awareness for cervical cancer was found to be very poor among the study subjects in the pre-test. Awareness on risk factors, signs and symptoms, diagnosis and treatment, and prevention of cervical cancer was found to be 6%, 3.6%, 1.2%, and 1.6% respectively. A significant increase in the knowledge level was found after health education.Conclusions: As the awareness levels regarding the cervical cancer was poor among the study population, health education programme and campaigns, along with periodic screening is need of the hour to effectively prevent cervical cancer.

The article tells about the key problems of diagnosis and treatment of patients with vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC). Candida albicans causes 75--80% of candidiasis cases. Clinical forms of VVC include: Candida-carrying, acute VVC, chronic (recurrent) vulvovaginal candidiasis (CRVVC). The main diagnostic approaches to the treatment and prevention of recurrence of the disease are described. The authors presented data on the efficacy of the antifungal medication Diflucan in the fight against VVC.

Vitamin D belongs to the group of fat-soluble vitamins. It is naturally present in only a very limited amount of food, and the synthesis in the human body is possible only under certain conditions - when the UV rays of sunlight fall on the skin. National and foreign studies show that the insufficiency of vitamin D, defined as levels of 25(OH)D less than 30 ng/ml or less than 20 ng/ml, is widespread throughout the world. This publication is a shortened version of the guideline «Vitamin D deficiency in adults: diagnosis, treatment and prevention» which was approved on February 27th, 2015 at the session «National clinical guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of endocrinopathies» at the VIIth All-Russian Congress of Diabetes.

This review is provided detailed overview of the types, properties and application of nanorobot in the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of various diseases. Now a day’s health care industry focusing on the development of nanotechnology for the diagnosis and treatment of various diseases. Development of nanorobots is an interesting and hopeful area of nanotechnology which is produce on nanoscale. Many drugs exhibit is the problem of less bioavailability of drug and require the administration of higher amount for treatment of various diseases. To overcome such problem, nanorobot are the novel solution that deliver the drug to the target thus small dose is sufficient to achieve the desired therapeutic effect. Nanorobots are tiny device which is measure on the nanometer scale. Nanorobots also known as nanite, nanobots, or nanomites. Nanorobots are used in the diagnosing, treatment and prevention of the diseases, relieving pain and improving the human health.
