Implications of skin changes are lying in diagnosis as well as management of the disease. Unfortunately, they are not summarized in book from worldwide. This book is a proper reference book on this matter and hope to encompass all aspects such as pathogenesis, all types of lesions, and their management in detail.

The dermatological manifestations are varied ranging from infective to inflammatory, but the most common among infective etiologies is erythema infectiosum, also known as the fifth disease or ‘slapped cheek’ disease, which is mildly contagious. Clinical corroboration of symptoms and signs with serum antibody levels has been seen in acute and persistent parvoviral infections. Other dermatological manifestations of parvovirus B19 infections include erythema multiforme, vasculitis, reticular erythema, maculopapular eruptions, pustular eruptions, papular‐purpuric gloves and socks syndrome (PPGSS) and Gianotti‐Crosti syndrome. Skin lesions are quite characteristic and begin with oedema and erythema symmetrically localized to the hands and feet. Subsequently, petechial and purpuric changes appear varying from a few millimetres in diameter to larger, confluent patches. The primary target ...

Krimi utpatti kara chikitsa means the creation of a swarm of flies over a wound to debride the unhealthy granulation tissue for healthy wound healing. This has to mention in the Indian surgical treatise Susruta Samhita in the management of kaphaja arbuda chikitsa. We summarize the history and technique of maggot therapy, as well as its uses for different indications and contraindications. The use of maggots for wound debridement, antibacterial activity, and promotion of wound healing are discussed, along with the mechanism of action and potential side effects. Finally, the potential of Maggot therapy to become a mainstream treatment option for chronic wounds is being discussed. Overall, this review highlights the promising benefits and the growing interest in maggot therapy as a viable alternative or adjunct to traditional wound care management.

Research paper thumbnail of A decomposition analysis to understand the wealth-based inequalities in child vaccination in rural Southern Assam: A cross-sectional study

The socio-environmental aspects of southern Assam reflect a general pattern of backwardness. Moreover, child healthcare resources in the region are inadequately used, leading to low vaccination coverage. Given this background, this paper attempted to comprehend wealth-based inequality in full vaccination in rural areas of southern Assam.

Methodology:
Based on a multistage cluster sampling approach, 360 children of 12–23 months were selected from the study area. To identify the predictors of a child, a non-linear model was estimated by using the generalized linear model (GLM) approach followed by Erreygers decomposition technique to quantify the wealth inequality in the obtained predictors in explaining the disparity in full vaccination.

Result:
The Bacillus Calmette–Guérin (BCG) vaccination recorded the highest vaccination coverage, at nearly 90% and the lowest was observed for the measles vaccine, around 61 percent. Slightly more than half of the eligible children (54 percent) were vaccinated against all the Universal Immunization Programme (UIP)-recommended vaccines. The decomposition analysis revealed that the occupation of the child’s father, maternal age, birth order of the child, and health-seeking behavior such as antenatal care (ANC) were the prime factors related to inequality in full vaccination in the region.

Conclusion:
Vaccination coverage in the region has improved over time, however, full vaccination is concentrated towards the economically advantaged section of the society in rural southern Assam. Targeted, context-specific, and expanded government initiatives could aid in addressing the overall wealth-related full vaccination inequalities in the valley.

Prior to 2011, flooding was the most frequent type of disaster on the planet, accounting for about half of all natural disaster victims and nearly US $185 trillion in economic losses. Flood dermatoses can be divided into four categories: (i) Inflammatory skin diseases (such as irritant contact dermatitis); (ii) Fungal and bacterial infections; (iii) Traumatic skin diseases; and (iv) Other miscellaneous skin diseases (such as an allergic reaction to an insect bite and psycho-emotionally aggravating primary skin diseases). Here we review and summarise a number of articles on flood related skin diseases in an effort to improve knowledge and recognition of these conditions for both dermatologists and general practitioners in order to provide the best and most appropriate management of these particular skin diseases in emergency situations.

This study was carried out in Silchar Medical College and Hospital (SMCH), Silchar, Assam, India. Healthcare providers of SMCH were provided with comprehensive picture based Google form. A total of 63 health care professionals enrolled voluntarily in the study and filled up the questionnaire. The responses were collected and tabulated.: The mean age of health care workers was 29.2 years. There were 36(57.14%) males and 27(42.85%) females. Out of these, 43(68.25%) were doctors, 14(22.22%) were nurses and 6 (9.52%) were Allied health professionals (AHP). Cutaneous manifestations due to use of PPE were reported in 60(95.23%) participants. Common skin manifestations due to use of masks were ear soreness (61.90%), pressure bruises (44.44%), acne (11.11%). Cutaneous manifestations are frequent with the use of gloves, out of which most common was contact rash and itch...
