This review intends to investigate the endocrine function of the epidermis, focusing on its role in hormone synthesis, metabolism, and signaling pathways. Objective: This article aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the endocrine function of the skin, including the identification of key hormones generated in the skin, their regulation, and their physiological significance. In addition, it intends to investigate the relationship between the epidermis and the endocrine system to elucidate the mechanisms underlying hormonal communication within the body. Methodology: Using electronic databases, including PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science, a comprehensive search of the literature was conducted. Included are relevant studies, evaluations, and articles published between 1990 and 202...

Parvovirus in dermatology: A review

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.

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.
