A study was undertaken to determine the sex discrimination in child rearing in an urban low socio-economic chawl type of community. Totally 1101 children in the age group of 0-14 years (631 females and 470 males) in 346 families selected at random were studied. It was found that educational and nutritional status of both the sexes were comparable but partial coverage or non-coverage of immunisation was observed in more girls as compared to boys. Majority of parents (93.9%) expressed that they would get their daughter married after 18 years of age.

- Stroke is the second leading cause of death globally, with particulate air pollution recognized as a significant risk factor, and ongoing research is focused on its varied impacts on stroke outcomes.
- Recent findings show that both short-term and long-term exposure to nitrogen dioxide and ozone are linked to increased stroke morbidity and mortality, and that the effects vary depending on pollutant combinations, sources, stroke types, and individual characteristics.
- While the connection between stroke and air pollution is established, future studies need to explore the specific properties of pollutants, assess multiple exposure scenarios, individual vulnerabilities, and utilize advanced statistical methods for deeper insights.
