Objective: Acute hemorrhagic conjunctivitis (AHC), commonly called pink eye, saw an alarming increase in incidence from July to September 2023 in different parts of India. Pink eye occurrences had reportedly increased three to four times more than in prior years, raising concerns among the community and healthcare professionals. This study aimed to identify the aetiological agent associated with AHC in 2023, genetically characterize the agent and describe the clinical presentation.

Article Synopsis
- The paper discusses the development of a new method, EfficientNet-Deep batch normalized eLUAlexnet (EfficientNet-DbneAlexnet), for detecting brain tumors in MRI images, addressing the challenge of varied tumor shapes and sizes.
- The process involves image enhancement using Piecewise Linear Transformation, skull stripping with Fuzzy Local Information C Means, and tumor segmentation via a Projective Adversarial Network.
- The results show that this new approach achieves impressive performance metrics: 90.36% sensitivity, 92.77% accuracy, and 91.82% specificity in detecting brain tumors.
Breast cancer classification plays a crucial role in healthcare, especially in the diagnosis and monitoring of patients. Traditional methods for classifying breast cancer based on histopathological images often suffer from limited accuracy, which can hinder early detection and treatment. Hence, this paper devises a novel Internet of Things (IoT) based healthcare system using SqueezeNet_Fractional Dung Beetle Optimization (Squeeze_FDBO) for breast cancer detection.

- Adding vitamin C-rich fruits like guava to iron-containing meals, such as mungbean dal, may help improve hemoglobin levels and reduce anemia in children.
- A study with 200 rural school children in India found that eating mungbean dal with guava led to significant increases in hemoglobin and a decrease in anemia prevalence compared to eating mungbean dal alone.
- Although there was a positive effect on hemoglobin and anemia rates, the addition of guava did not significantly improve the overall body iron stores of the children.
