Introduction: Siddha Medicine is a system of traditional medicine originating in ancient Tamil Nadu in South India and Sri Lanka. Traditionally, it is taught that the siddhars laid the foundation for this system of medicine. Siddha system has a unique diagnostic method to identify the diseases and their causes. Manikkadai nool is one of the diagnostic tool. It is explained in the Agasthiyar Soodamani Kajiru Soothiram by Saint Veadammamuni in Pathinen Siddhar Naadi Nool. Aim: The primary aim of this study was to do a literature review and documentation of traditional siddha diagnostic method of Manikkadai Nool. Study Setting: Government Siddha Medical College, Palayamkottai from March to August 2019. Methodology: It is a review of relevant literatures on traditional siddha diagnostic method of manikkadai nool. Data for the literature review were collected from related literatures and websites. Collected data were processed and statistically analyzed by a simple statistical method using Microsoft Excel. Results and Discussion: Manikkadai Nool is a parameter to diagnose the state of disease by measuring the circumference of the wrist by means of a thread and then dividing the measured circumference with the patient’s finger. By this measurement the disease can be diagnosed. When the Manikkadai nool is 11 finger breadth (fbs), the person will be stout and he/she will live a healthy life for many years. When the Manikkadai nool measures from 4 to 6, it indicates bad prognosis of disease and the severity of the illness will be high and it leads to death. One of the research articles said that the cardiac diseases and uterine fibroids had a more predilection than other diseases of Manikkadai Nool measure falling in the fringe range of 10-10.75 finger breadths. Conclusion: This literature review provides useful documented evidence on the siddha diagnostic methods of Manikkadai Nool. However, there is need to more clinical studies to validate the measurements.

AbstractLimited information is available regarding the functioning of DOTS (Directly Observed Treatment Short course) center for tuberculosis treatment under public private partnership with a medical college hospital. The present study was done to assess the various parameters related to the effectiveness of follow up treatment and its outcome in a DOTS center attached to a medical college hospital in coastal South India.Reports of patients with tuberculosis diagnosed and treated under Revised National Tuberculosis Control Programme at KS Hegde Medical College hospital DOTS center under Mangalore TB unit were reviewed retrospectively for the period from July 2004 to June 2011. Data was described in proportion and chi square test was applied to assess the association of cases with age group and sex. Among 60 patients serially registered under DOTS, 41 (68.33 %) cases were females and 19 (31.67%) cases were males. Maximum number of cases belonged to 15-29 years age group (20, 33.3%) and the difference observed between the categories of TB and age group was found to be significant (P<0.001). Overall 23 (38.33%), 12 (20%) and 25 (41.67%) cases received Cat-I, Cat-II and Cat-III treatment respectively. Success rate for new smear positive cases was 92.85% (13/14) and for Re-treatment smear positive cases was 88.89% (8/9). Sputum conversion rate among new smear positive cases (n= 14) at 2 months and 3 months was 85.71% and 92.86% respectively. Sputum conversion rate for Re-treatment cases (n=9) at 2 months and 3 months was 55.56% and 88.89% respectively. RNTCP is running successfully in this DOTS center with very low treatment failure rate and better outcome indicators, highlighting the importance of public private partnership of poorly functioning DOTS centers with medical colleges.

Background- Electric burns and injuries are the result of electric current passing through the body. Temporary or permanent damage can occur to the skin, tissues, and major organs. Methods- This prospective study was carried out on patients admitted in burn unit of department of surgery M.G. Hospital associated with Dr. S.N. Medical College Jodhpur. Records of the patients admitted from January 2018 to December 2018 were studied. Bed head tickets of the patients evaluated in detail. Results- In our study out of 113 patients maximum no. of patients were in age group of 21-30 years 44 (38.94%) followed by age group <11 years in 21 (18.58%) patients and age group of > 60 years in only 3 (2.65%).39 (34.51%) patients were farmer and 15 (13.27%) were electrician in out of 113 total patients, while 37 (32.74%) were without any occupation. 65 (57.52%) cases of high voltage (HV) electrical injury and 48 (42.48%) cases were of low voltage (LV) electrical injury. Conclusion- Morbidity leading to permanent disabilities make the person physically dependent on others. It can be prevented by educating the people about the proper handling to electric circuits & devices. Proper communication among the electricians may help in lowering such accidents. Proper rehabilitation of the handicapped person & employment to the member of the affected family may reduce the social burden caused by such electricity concerned accidents.

Rotavirus is one of the leading causes of pediatric diarrhea globally. Accurate and rapid diagnosis of Rotavirus diarrhea should reduce unnecessary use of antibiotics and ultimately reduce drug resistance. Study was designed for rapid diagnosis of Rotavirus antigen in stool sample by ICT (Immunochromatographic test) as well as to observe the seasonal variation of rotavirus infection. This cross sectional study was carried out in the department of Microbiology, Dhaka Medical College from January 2011 to December 2011. Eighty stool samples were collected from Dhaka Shishu Hospital and Dhaka Medical College Hospital. All samples were tested for rotavirus antigen by ICT. Among 80 patients, 42 (52.5%) samples were positive for rotavirus antigen. Among these 42 positive samples, 30 (71.43%) were from 0-12 months of age group, 10 (23.81%) from 13 to 24 months of age group and rest 2 (4.76%) from 25 to 36 months of age group. Rotavirus Ag was detected in stool samples from January to April and another peak episode from October to December. Considering the importance of Rotavirus associated diarrhea, rapid detection of Rotavirus infection in human is substantially needed and should be routinely practiced.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bjmm.v6i1.19354 Bangladesh J Med Microbiol 2012; 06(01): 11-13
