An incidental colonoscopy: finding Trichuris trichiura: a case report and review of literature

Trichuris trichiura commonly referred to as whipworm, has a world-wide distribution, particularly countries with warm, humid climates. This parasite is reported from nearly one quarter of the world population, especially from less developed countries. Poor hygiene conditions are associated with trichuris transmission, usually this infection remains asymptomatic in human but heavy infection can lead to chronic bloody diarrhoea associated with complications like rectal prolapsed, appendicitis, proctitis. Very few cases of extensive trichuriasis have been reported world-wide. Usually, diagnosis is confirmed by detection of eggs in stool sample. This case report deals with a patient of trichuriasis, who was diagnosed by detection of the parasite on colonoscopy. Thus, colonoscopy might be a useful diagnostic tool, especially in symptomatic patients who are infected by only few male worms with no eggs in the stool. Hence cannot be diagnosed by conventional methods

Epidemiology and outcome of burn injuries in tertiary care hospital of Northern India

Background: Burns represent a serious problem around the world especially in low and middle income countries. The aim of this study was to determine epidemiological characteristics, causes and mortality rate of burn deaths in tertiary care hospital of N India as well as to guide future education and prevention programs.Methods: A one year cross-sectional study of all burn patients admitted in Dr. RPGMC Tanda, Kangra, Himachal Pradesh, India was conducted between January 2014-December 2014.Results: Our study revealed that type II (absence of sutural bones) was commoner than type I (presence of type I) asterion. Total of 210 burn injury patients were admitted majority were males[54.5%] and females were [45.5%] males sustained burn injuries mostly at their work place with electric burns whereas females sustained burn injuries at home with cooking appliances.Conclusions: Burn injuries can be reduced by bringing about regulations to develop safer cooking appliances, promoting less inflammable fabrics to be worn out at home and educating the community especially women.

Proceedings of International Conference on Women Researchers in Electronics and Computing

This proceeding contains articles on the various research ideas of the academic community and practitioners presented at the international conference, “Women Researchers in Electronics and Computing” (WREC’2021). WREC'21 was organized in online mode by Dr. B R Ambedkar National Institute of Technology, Jalandhar (Punjab), INDIA during 22 – 24 April 2021. This conference was conceptualized with an objective to encourage and motivate women engineers and scientists to excel in science and technology and to be the role models for young girls to follow in their footsteps. With a view to inspire women engineers, pioneer and successful women achievers in the domains of VLSI design, wireless sensor networks, communication, image/ signal processing, machine learning, and emerging technologies were identified from across the globe and invited to present their work and address the participants in this women oriented conference.
