A febrile seizure, also known as a febrile fit or febrile convulsion, is a seizure associated with a high body temperature but without any serious underlying health issue.This study aimed at identifying the possible risk factors of Febrile Seizure and assessing the knowledge, attitude and practice of parents having children with FS and the impact of parental counselling on KAP. The data were collected and recorded in specially designed pro forma. The impact of patient counselling on quality of life was assessed using a knowledge, attitude and practice questionnaire. Information was provided through patient information leaflet. A total of 134 Patients with febrile seizure are selected for the study. Based on this study ,the majority of age group belongs to less than 3years(87%) with a positive..............

In utero exposure to Enarapril; a widely prescribed antihypertensive due to its success as a monotherapy, cost effectiveness, relative paucity of side effects, bone, cardio and nephron protective effects in comparison tostandard therapy for equal level of blood pressure control has been associated with foetal deleterious effects. These include renal failure, intrauterine growth retardation, hypocalvaria, persistent patent ductus arteriosus and cerebral complications. It blocks Foetal renin- angiotensin- system that comes to play during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy documenting it safe during first trimester. In contrast, other studies reports major deleterious effects during the first trimester including cardiovascular, nervous, and renal and limb defects effects yielding conflicting report on the most critical periods..............

Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) is a rare immune-complex–mediated type-IV hypersensitivity reaction that primarily affects the skin and the mucous membranes leading to cell death or cell apoptosis. The etiology of this disorder is multiple, including drugs in almost 75% of cases, infectious agents, genetic predisposition and idiopathic causes account for 25% of cases. It is characterized by skin and mucous membrane reactions potentially fatal result from hypersensitivity to precipitating factors, such as infections by viruses, fungi, bacteria, diseases of the connective tissue, malignant neoplasms, multiple vaccines and medicines. Stevens-Johnson syndrome is a form of a life –threatening skin conditions, in which cell death causes the epidermis to separate from the dermis. This syndrome is thought to be a hypersensitivity complex that affects the skin and the mucous membranes..............

Disinfection of terrariums in which reptiles are kept is quite problematic. Most terrariums are made of glass and therefore do not always withstand the effects of high temperatures. At the same time, the use of disinfectants is important for breaking the epizootic chain of parasites, because their exogenous stages of development are quite resistant to the action of disinfectants. In this regard, the effect of disinfectants at various concentrations and exposures on helminth eggs and larvae and oocysts of the panther chameleon oysters were investigated. The test egg culture of Trematoda gen spp., Spinicauda freitasi, Hexametra angusticaecoides, Pharyngodonidae gen. spp., Thubunaea spp., larvae of Rhabdiasidae gen. sp. and oocyst Eimeria sp. were used for the study. The effectiveness of the disinfectants Virocid, Biodez-R..............
