Objective: The purpose of this research intended to determine the impact of an multi-component exercise program on body composition and physical, emotional and social well being (PWB, EWB,SWB) in breast cancer survivors (BCS). Methods: One hundred and thirty two eight women with BC were enrolled in this research based on inclusion and exclusion criteria and were randomized into group A and B. Group A received breast cancer (BC) support group therapy whereas group B received multi-component exercise program.

These short- and long-term repercussions have an enormous effect on physical functioning in this population. The goal of this research was to determine the effect of a multi-component exercise program on functional performance in breast cancer survivors.

Background: Developmental milestones are easily identifiable events during a child's development, and their thorough monitoring is of utmost importance till 6 years of age. Rural mothers are rarely explained these milestones, which may be a reason for the higher prevalence of developmental disorders in rural areas (≊18%). This study aimed to assess the knowledge of developmental milestones in rural mothers attending a rural, tertiary care hospital and further provides intelligence to the mothers on the same.

- Gram-positive enterococci, normally harmless gut bacteria, have become significant health threats, particularly to immunocompromised individuals, due to their ability to resist multiple antibiotics.
- An observational study involving 114 clinical samples (like urine and blood) aimed to assess the prevalence and resistance patterns of enterococci, highlighting a critical need for better infection control and surveillance measures.
- Results indicated that most isolates originated from urine (69.16%), with the highest infection rates found in individuals aged 41 to 50, emphasizing the varied distribution of these pathogens in clinical settings.
Article Synopsis
- Tonsillitis, mainly affecting children, is an inflammation caused by bacteria or viruses; it can be acute, chronic, or recurrent, necessitating identification of pathogens for effective treatment.
- This study focused on assessing the bacterial profiles and antibiotic resistance of tonsillitis pathogens collected from patients at a medical center over a year.
- Out of 105 cases, 93 were culture-positive, with a predominance of isolates found in males and among younger patients, highlighting the need for updated treatment strategies based on pathogen profiles and antibiotic susceptibility.
