Abstract:
Leishmaniasis is a vector-borne disease that is caused by obligate intra-macrophage protozoa of the Leishmania species. Leishmaniasis can cause different clinical syndromes, including Cutaneous Leishmaniasis (CL) in which the patient generally presents with one or several ulcer(s) or nodule(s) on the skin, resulting from the infection of phagocytic cells located in the dermis. It often results into severe scar tissue in the skin. Most of the twelve million people infected with Leishmania worldwide are CL cases, a 1.5 million new cases occur annually. WHO has a program to develop new treatments for cutaneous leishmaniasis. This study establishes a proof-of-concept that a tattoo device can target intra-dermal drug delivery against Cutaneous Leishmaniasis (CL). The selected drug is Oleylphosphocholine (OlPC) formulated as liposomes, particles known to be prone to macrophage ingestion. First is shown that treatment of cultured Leishmania-infected macrophages with OlPC-liposomes results in a direct dose-dependent killing of intracellular parasites. Based on this, in vivo efficacy is demonstrated using a 10-day tattooing-mediated treatment in mice infected with L. major and L. mexicana. In both models this regimen results in rapid clinical recovery with complete regression of skin lesions by Day 28. Parasite counts and histopathology examination confirm high treatment efficacy at the parasitic level

Abstract:
Congenital diarrhea is a term used to describe diarrhea that develops early in life, typically, within the first two months of life classically associated with dehydration, failure to thrive and electrolyte disturbances. Some of these infants with secretary type might have prenatal findings of dilated bowel loops. While in infants with malabsorptive type it starts with the first feed. The diagnosis is usually established with endoscopic biopsies with electron microscopy evaluation and the appropriate genetic testing. While it might be puzzling and challenging even to the most prudent physician, we will discuss a practical approach that allows you to
have a provisional working diagnosis and management plan helping your infant to back on track in a timely approach. Treatment is usually with long term parenteral nutrition with special attention to avoid long term complication associated with TPN.

Abstract:
Blood borne viruses (BBVs) are viral infections that can be transmitted from person to person through blood or body fluids. The BBV infection is a major global health problem, posing great risk to both healthcare workers and patients in their care. In health care settings, Healthcare workers (HCW) may acquire bloodborne infections from lacerations, punctures, and non-intact skin exposures to the blood or body fluids of infected patients. Exposures may occur during surgical or invasive medical/dental procedures. Transmission of BBV infection to patients may occur by injection, infusion, transplantation, unsterile equipment, or other accidental injury/penetration So, the workshop will concentrate on the BBVs that could be transmitted in the healthcare settings; HBV, HCV and HIV: for each of these viruses, there will be clarification of their characteristics, worldwide epidemiology, modes of transmission, clinical significance, laboratory diagnoses, and updates of treatments.

Abstract:
Nearly 14 years after leprosy was eliminated from India, many continue to be infected with the lepra bacilli. Leprosy is a chronic infectious disease that primarily affects the peripheral nerves, skin, upper respiratory tract, eyes and nasal mucosa. The disease is caused by Mycobacterium leprae. The leprosy elimination campaign sponsored by the World Health Organization has successfully reduced the prevalence rate of the disease to less than one case per 10,000 populations worldwide, but the number of new cases in endemic countries has increased so we undertake to this study to know the trend of leprosy in our tertiary care hospital. Method: This was a cross-sectional study carried out over a period of six months from August 2018 to January 2019 in Narayan Medical College and Hospital Jamuhar Sasaram. Samples were obtained from patients who attended the dermatology department of NMCH Jamuahr Sasaram with history suggestive of leprosy. The slit skin smear was obtained as per standard protocol and then sample were subjected to modified (5%) Ziehl- Neelsen Staining for direct microscopy and result were observed under oil immersion.

Abstract:
Water quality, water behavior along with food quality, food behavior, domestic environment and food handler’s hygiene play pivotal role in preventing food and water borne diseases. Working women seemingly face more hazards and perceived negligence is higher in hilly tribal population. Thus the pilot study was undertaken. The objective of the study is to assess water quality at source and household level and cooked food quality, immediate domestic environment along with determining their existing knowledge/practices regarding water and food handling techniques. Method: Descriptive community based cross-sectional study was conducted in collaboration with department of microbiology from May-July 2018 in Kiranchandra Tea Estate. Water quality was assessed among all five sources and selected 50 households using PA Coliform Kit. Water behavior was assessed in 187 households. All 120 houses with women as permanent workers were studied for food behavior, food handler hygiene and domestic environment. 50 selected houses were assessed for cooked food quality using PA H2SHi-Dip Media Kit. Results were interpreted after 48 hours incubation and confirmed by culture.

Abstract:
Introduction: Intestinal duplication cyst is a rare condition and may be the cause of small bowel obstruction in children. In pediatric age group it should be considered as an important differential diagnosis in children who
presented with recurrent abdominal pain and or recurrent obstruction. Diagnosis of duplicated intestinal cyst is clinically always difficult; therefore, definitive diagnosis may only be made at laparotomy. Gastrointestinal
Duplication (GIDs) is rare congenital malformation, which can arise from mouth to the anus. May vary greatly in presentation, size, location, and symptoms. It t prevalence of 1:4500 births, predominantly in white
males2/3 of all intestinal duplication discovered in within first 2 years of life with 1/3 identified in the new born period. Due to its rarity of these lesions, they frequently present at both diagnostic and therapeutic
Challenges. Duplication of the gastrointestinal tract are cystic or tubular structures whose lumen are linked by a mucous membrane usually supported by smooth muscle and intimately associated with the alimentary
tube. The histology reveals the characteristic lining of intestinal mucosa. They occur because of congenital aberration during gut development which may be found anywhere from the tongue to the lower rectum. Although they both arise from a redundant morphogenesis, the dorsal non-vitelline enteric malformation of the duplication cyst have a different embryological origin to those associated with the vitellointestinal duct(Meckel's diverticulum), and, about a half present within a month of birth and two-thirds in the first year. The most common site is the small intestine (50%), particularly the ileum (35%) with the cystic type being more common than the tubular type. Jejunum (10% and duodenum (5%). Although rare, intestinal duplication cyst is an important differential diagnosis for recurrent abdominal pain in the pediatric age group, and rarer in adulthood.

Discussion: It is difficult to differentiate Lophomonas blattarum symptoms from other respiratory infections displaying similar symptoms. Laboratory diagnosis relies on identification of morphological features under light microscopy. Missed identification could be due to delayed sample processing and its close resemblance to bronchial epithelium. With development of serological and molecular methods of identification, diagnosis and treatment can improve

Robert O Young is currently working as a Professor at Capital University in Washington, DC. He has completed his MS in Nutrition from the American College in Birmingham, Alabama and DSc with emphasis in Chemistry and Biology and also s PhD from Clayton College of Natural Health.
Abstract:
CF and PAC patients suffer from frequent lung infections that may lead to obstructed breathing caused by an
acidic lifestyle and diet. So, the mainstays of a treatment plan are:
1. Open up the channels of elimination of dietary and metabolic acids.
2. Hyper-perfuse the blood, interstitial fluids and the intracellular fluids with alkalinity to buffer the
retained dietary and/or metabolic acids in the organs, glands and tissues.
3. Heal the root system or bowels of the body or the intestinal villi of the small intestines to improve the
quality and quantity of stem cell and red blood cell production
4. Alkalizing physical therapy to remove acids out of the interstitial fluids and intracellular fluids of the
tissues, especially the lungs.
5. Alkalizing exercise to remove dietary and/or metabolic acids in the blood plasma, interstitial
compartments of the Interstitium, and finally the connective tissues out through the pores of the skin.
6. Alkalizing natural organic and colloidal natural medications for reducing the acids that cause mucus that
is congesting and blocking the lung's airways.

Abstract:
E.coli is one of the main cause of nosocomial infection in humans. E.coli being one of the common organism causing hospital acquired infections exhibits ESBL production Causing resistant to Beta lactam group of drugs resulting in limited treatment options. Hence, this study was done to know the resistance pattern in E.coli and their virulence factors. Materials and Methods: Samples (urine, pus, sputum) were collected & processed as per standard protocols E.coli were isolated. Antibiogram done as per CLSI guidelines. ESBL & MBL screening done, Biofilm formation of E.coli was studied in correlation to antibiotic resistance. Result: 235 E.coli were isolated from various clinical samples. Out of 235, 148 (62.97%) showed resistance to ceftazidime & cefatoxime, 53 (22.55%) were ESBL producers, 19 (8.8%) showed resistance to imipenem, 32 (1.27%) were MBL producer. E.coli were resistant to nalidixic acid, 119 (50.6%) followed by Cotrimoxazole 98(41.7%), Ciprofloxacin resistance was 135 (57.6%) and MIC ranged from 8- 64 μg/ml. Among 235 E.coli isolates 169 (46.38%) were MDR of which 29 (12.34%) were strong biofilm producers. Conclusion: This study highlights that all isolated ESBL producers were resistant to 3rd Gen. cephalosporins. This increase in resistance to number of commonly used antibiotics shows the emerging drug resistance. In view of this, ESBL testing and MBL screening should be made as a routine testing which will help in the shuffling of antibiotics and for proper treatment and to prevent further development of bacterial drug resistance

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is an X chromosome-linked disease characterized by progressive physical disability, immobility and premature death in affected boys. Underlying the devastating symptoms of DMD is the loss of dystrophin, a structural protein that connects the extracellular matrix to the cell cytoskeleton and provides protection against contraction-induced damage in muscle cells, leading to chronic peripheral inflammation. However, dystrophin is expressed in neurons within specific brain regions, including the hippocampus, a structure associated with learning and memory formation. Linked to this, a subset of boys with DMD exhibit progressing cognitive dysfunction, with deficits in verbal, short-term, and working memory. Furthermore, in the genetically comparable dystrophin-deficient mouse model of DMD, some, but not all, types of learning and memory are deficient, and specific deficits in synaptogenesis and channel clustering at synapses has been noted. Little consideration has been given to the cognitive deficits associated with DMD compared with the research conducted into the peripheral effects of dystrophin deficiency. Therefore, this review focuses on what is known about the role of full-length dystrophin (Dp427) in the hippocampal neurons. In this experiment, I hypothesized that 100 ug/ml of G. Lucidum would extend the lifespan and too much concentration of this herbal medicine would lose its efficacy in treating this disease.

Abstract:
Introduction & Objective: Recent studies had showed that Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) have beneficial effects on bacterial infections. Treatment with MSCs has proven bacterial clearance. This study was undertaken to study the in vitro activity of antimicrobial and antibiofilm activity of stems cells against gram negative multidrug resistant organism from urinary tract infections.Method: The samples will be processed according to standard protocol following standard guidelines. All the isolates obtained will be identified by standard guidelines. Total of 50 isolates were collected. The antibiotic susceptibility testing will be done for all the isolates by Kirby Bauer disc diffusion method following CLSI guidelines. All the isolates are screened for production of biofilm by tissue culture plate method. The antimicrobial activity of mesenchymal stem cells was done by micro broth dilution method.
