Since last 2-3 decades the trend of keeping dogs as pet in Indian homes is noticed as on increase. One of the reasons is the increasing in the number of nuclear family configuration. People find dogs as good domestic companion for the purpose of safety as well as entertainment. It is noticed that around 95% of these pet lovers are unaware about hazards associated with these pets. They do not follow the standard norms of pet raising and health considerations and remain ignorant about the safety of their family as well as the society. Most common and fatal disease associated with dogs are bladder worm disease i.e. Hydatidosis . This life threatening disease is caused by a tapeworm parasite Echinococus granulosus, which is a natural parasite of dogs and transmit due to unhygienic habits and handling. About 2-3 million people are suffering due to dog tapeworms through out the world , which lead to the monetary loss of $ 750,000,000=00 every year. In India due to lack of health education and awareness and very casual approach in handling such pets lead to increase in the disease incidence rate. Our regulatory norms are not rigid and because of that pet registry rate is very low. Besides we are not following strict compliance of medical guidelines to keep these animals free from such a dangerous infections. Unhygienic handling and unregulated disposal of dogs fecal content contributes for the spread of hydatid disease in innocent children and adults. In a recent discussion with medial experts it was noticed that the frequency of this disease is increasing day by day. Considering above facts it is necessary to frame very effective social and legal regulatory norms to control the un-noticed spread of the infection in society.

Caner a dreadful disease is actually one large group of diseases which dates back to times of “Hippocrates”, The Father of Medicine, (460-370BC) who used this name for the first time to talk about non-ulcer and ulcer forming tumors. Theevidence of its presence from the very past history comes from fossilized “Egyptian Mummies” having tumors on bones. Then Galen (130-200 AD) used the term “Oncos” to explain tumors. So it's a disease involving growth of abnormal cells, their proliferation and metastasizing the other tissues and organs. Now we know that biology has a branch namedOncology to deal with the scientific study of cancer and oncogenes. It took centuries to get knowledge and use modern technologies against this malady. Now we know cancer is a group disease which has hundreds of types. 19th Century saw much advancement towards its cure. Along with surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy were the main methods to cure cancer patients. Day by day, scientists are looking for new methods to control and cure of this curse. Hundreds of natural medicinal compounds are being tested to use clinically for its cure in order to replace the radiotherapy andchemotherapy and lower their side effects. But humanity is still fighting against this disease as the numbers of cases throughout the world are increasing day by day. If we look on the reports p r e s e n t e d b y W H O ( W o r l d H e a l t hOrganization), Cancer is the second leading cause of deaths globally which means one person in every six deaths, dies due to cancer. In 2018, the most common types of cancers reported in men were of liver, prostate, stomach, lung andcolorectal. Whereas in females the most common forms were breast, thyroid, cervical and colorectal. Cancer has become a global disasterfamily of the patient. It imparts physical, emotional and financial crisis. Unfortunately, the condition is bitterer in under developing countries. Cancer has become a lifestyle disease these days. We are living in the world withsuperficial comfort but we are breathing with urbanizations, ozone depletion, exposure to microwave and ultraviolet radiations, hazardous chemicals etc. Moreover, It is becoming a lifestyle disease due to lack of exercise, Obesity, consumptions of drugs, tobacco and alcohols. The cases of cancers are reported more in urban areas than in rural areasmore likely due to above mentioned factors. The ratio of cancer patients is expected to raise up-to 27.5 million by 2040 globally. So the battle is never ending, Humans need to figure out the factors and cutting these from their lives in orderto live a healthy life which is a blessing indeed. which is not only crunching the cancer patient but it also has damaging effects on the whole

Self Transcendence

Treatments for addressing psychiatric mental health issues in vulnerable patients with cancer are established. Yet, many patients persist with unrelenting psychological difficulties despite intervention. There is growing interest in the role of psilocybin-assisted psychotherapy for managing treatment-resistant mental health challenges in patients with cancer. Psilocybin is a naturally occurring compound derived from certain mushroom species that can induce entheogenic experiences or an altered state of consciousness. Reed's Self-Transcendence Theory provides a holistic lens to examine existential concerns and mental health in individuals who perceive their illness as potentially life threatening, such as those with cancer. This scoping literature review used Arksey and O’Malley's template to evaluate research examining psilocybin-assisted psychotherapy for patients with cancer. Eight articles met inclusion/exclusion criteria (four quantitative, two mixed methods, and two qualitative). Review findings indicated that the majority of patient experiences were positive, centering on themes of death acceptance, reflection, and broadened spirituality. Although psilocybin-assisted psychotherapy is in early stages of clinical testing, it thus shows promise for carefully screened patients with cancer who have persistent existential suffering. It will be critical for investigators to tailor this emerging intervention to select patients and for clinicians to be engaged in assessment of outcomes and efficacy.

Allergic rhinitis is a common disease that significantly worsens the patient’s quality of life. In some cases, the disease can be life threatening. Severe attacks of bronchial obstruction may occur in patients with allergic rhinitis. The widespread prevalence of allergic rhinitis in adults and children, consistent increase in disease incidence constitutes a great medical and social issue. Treatment for allergic rhinitis should be aimed at reaching increased remission duration, preventing the exacerbation of the disease and educating patients to maintain control over the symptoms of the disease. A challenge that otolaryngologists and allergists face is to restore nasal breathing in patients with allergic rhinitis. The updated approach to the challenge is to suggest treatment that takes into account the pathophysiological mechanisms that occur not only in the mucous membrane of the nasal cavity, but throughout the body, in particular, in the intestine.

The female undergoes dramatic monthly hormonal changes during each menstrual cycle affecting her emotional and physical state. During these changes sometimes she suffers from some gynaecological problems Nashtartava is one of them. As per classics, Nashtartava is considered as an Avaranajanya Vyadhi in which female suffers from Yathochita kale Adarshanam (Delayed menses/absence of menses), Alparta (scanty flow) and Yonivedana (painful menses). This condition can be compared with oligomenorrhoea or secondary amenorrhea. The ratio of such kinds of menstrual disorders is rising day by day which becomes a precursor of other health issues like infertility, mental and physical stress, etc. Oligomenorrhoea or infrequent menstruation, usually present in a woman with secondary symptoms like acne, obesity, dandruff, infertility etc. so treatment of Nashtartava is very necessary. For its treatment, the use of Agneya and Vata Kapha Shamaka Dravya is mentioned in the classics. Acharya Bhavmishra indicates the use of Jyotishmatiyadi Yoga for the management of Yonidosha along with Nashtartava. Jyotishmatyadi Yoga having Katu, Tikta Rasa, Tikshana Guna, Ushna Virya and Katu Viapaka and Vata Kapha shamaka property so effectively act on Nashtartava.

Mucormycosis, often known as black fungus, is a fungal infection caused by the mucormycetes fungi. Zygomycetes is a class of fungi. Mucormycetes, the fungus that cause mucormycosis, are found all throughout the world, especially in soil and in decaying organic waste like leaves, compost piles, and animal dung. It is not contagious and cannot be passed from one person to another. Mucormycosis (also known as zygomycosis) is a dangerous but uncommon fungal infection caused by a fungus known as mucormycetes. Molds can be found all over the place. Mucormycosis is a fungal infection that primarily affects persons who have health issues or who use medications that reduce the body's capacity to resist infections and illness. Infections are most typically acquired when mould spores are inhaled or, less commonly, when spores enter the body through a cut in the skin. It takes place after COVID-19. Home remedies, such as consuming probiotics, and foods that promote immunity, can help to minimise mucormycosis. The main purpose of this review Related to Mucormycosis is to diminish the growth of Mucormycosis by taking Ayurvedic Treatment.

The upcoming generation is at high risk of developing many health issues like heart diseases, metabolic diseases and other life-threatening problems with high mortality as a consequence of obesity due to intake of unhealthy food which is totally deviated from a normal balanced diet with appropriate calories, proteins, vitamins and carbohydrates. In this work, the nutrient intake is calculated using food image. Our system provides efficient segmentation algorithms for separating food items from the plate. The given 2D image of food is converted into 3D image by generating its depth map for volume generation and color, texture and shape features are extracted. These features are fed as input into multi-class support vector machine classifier for learning. The learning phase involves training of various mixed and non mixed food items. The testing phase includes query image segmentation and classification for identifying the type of food and then finding calories using the nutrition data table. We have also estimated the ingredient and decay of food items. Our result shows accurate calorie estimation for various kinds of food items.

Day by day the population of India is rising. So it is important to fulfill the need of food, modernization of agricultural sectors. Farmers in our country use fertilizers and pesticides on crops for removing weeds and other unwanted vegetation, insecticides for controlling a wide variety of insects, preventing the spread of bacteria, and compounds used to control mice and rats. Conventionally the spraying is done by farmers carrying backpack sprayer and fertilizers are sprayed manually. It is very harmful to their health and can be dangerous. The efforts required are on the higher side. Pesticide spraying machine is available in the market so there is no issue. But it is acquiring high cost for buying two separate equipment’s for fertilizer and pesticide spraying which isn’t affordable to farmers. So by taking into consideration the present problem faced by farmers we are coming up with the solution of “Dual Sprayer for Pesticides and Fertilizers”. The aim of our project is to minimize the health issues of the farmer, to provide more feasibility with minimum possible cost, to reduce the efforts of farmers of fertilizer spraying and provide both fertilizer and pesticide sprayer in one setup.

Black fungus is also known as Mucormycosis, and it is occasional but threatening infection. Black fungus is caused by getting into exposure with fungus spores in the surroundings. It can also form in the skin after the fungus enters through a cut, scrape, burn, or another type of skin trauma. Fungi live in the environment, particularly in soil and decaying organic matter such as leaves, compost piles, rotten wood, particularly in soil, compost, and animal dung. This fungal infection is caused by a type of mould known as 'mucromycetes’. It should be noted that this rare fungal infection affects persons who have health issues or who use drugs that weaken the body's ability to fight the infections. There are different types of mucormycosis Trusted Source, including rhino cerebral (sinus and brain), pulmonary (lung), gastrointestinal, and cutaneous (skin) mucormycosis. The COVID-19 generates a sudden change in the interior environment of the host for the fungus, and the medical treatment administered unknowingly promotes fungal development. COVID-19 causes harm to the airway mucosa and blood vessels. It also causes a rise in serum iron, which is required for the fungus to grow. Broad-spectrum antibiotics not only kill potentially harmful bacteria but also beneficial commensals. Although antifungals such as Voriconazole prevent Aspergillosis, Mucor survives and grows due to a lack of resistance. Long-term ventilation decreases immunity, and there is conjecture that the humidifier water that is delivered along with the oxygen transfers the fungus. It is ubiquitous and found in soil and air and even in the nose and mucus of healthy people. It affects the sinuses, the brain and the lungs and can be life-threatening in diabetic or severely immunocompromised individuals, such as cancer patients or people with HIV/AIDS. Doctors believe mucormycosis, which has an overall mortality rate of 50%, may be being triggered by the use of steroids, a life-saving treatment for severe and critically ill Covid-19 patients. Steroids reduce inflammation in the lungs for Covid-19 and appear to help stop some of the damage that can happen when the body's immune system goes into overdrive to fight off coronavirus. But they also reduce immunity and push up blood sugar levels in both diabetics and non-diabetic Covid-19 patients. It’s thought that this drop in immunity could be triggering these cases of mucormycosis.

The connection between our environment and parasitic diseases may not always be straightforward, but it exists nonetheless. This article highlights how climate as a component of our environment, or more specifically climate change, has the capability to drive parasitic disease incidence and prevalence worldwide. There are both direct and indirect implications of climate change on the scope and distribution of parasitic organisms and their associated vectors and host species. We aim to encompass a large body of literature to demonstrate how a changing climate will perpetuate, or perhaps exacerbate, public health issues and economic stagnation due to parasitic diseases. The diseases examined include those caused by ingested protozoa and soil helminths, malaria, lymphatic filariasis, Chagas disease, human African trypanosomiasis, leishmaniasis, babesiosis, schistosomiasis, and echinococcus, as well as parasites affecting livestock. It is our goal to impress on the scientific community the magnitude a changing climate can have on public health in relation to parasitic disease burden. Once impending climate changes are now upon us, and as we see these events unfold, it is critical to create management plans that will protect the health and quality of life of the people living in the communities that will be significantly affected.
