To contain the diphtheria outbreak in the Deeg district of Rajasthan, teams of the state health department and World Health Organization (WHO) have landed in the district and started vaccination.
About Diphtheria:
It is a serious contagious bacterial infection of the nose and throat.
It is caused by strains of bacteria called Corynebacterium diphtheriae that make a toxin.
Transmission:
โข It can spread from person to person, usually through respiratory droplets, like from coughing or sneezing.
โข People can also get sick from touching infected open sores or ulcers.
The bacteria can also infect the skin, causing open sores or ulcers. However, diphtheria skin infections rarely result in severe disease.
โข Although diphtheria can be treated with medications, in advanced stages, the bacterial infection can damage the heart, kidneys and nervous system.
Symptoms:
โข Typical symptoms of the infection include a sore throat, fever, swollen neck glands and weakness.
โข Within 2-3 from infection, the dead tissue in the respiratory tract forms a thick, grey coating that can cover tissues in the nose, tonsils and throat, making it hard to breathe and swallow.
Treatments
โซ neutralization of unbound toxin with Diphtheria Antitoxin (DAT)
โข antibiotics to prevent further bacterial growth;
โข monitoring and supportive care to prevent and treat complications, e.g. airway obstruction, myocarditis.

The News:-
Mumbai court ordered an ossification test to determine whether one of the persons accused in the murder case of a political leader is a minor or not.
About Ossification test:
An ossification test is a medical procedure that analyses bones in order to determine age.
This test involves taking X-rays of certain bones in the body, such as the clavicle, sternum, and pelvis, to determine the degree of growth in our bones.
Because certain bones harden and fuse with each other at certain ages according to a human's developmental stage, the bones can be a way of marking age.
These bones are chosen because they tend to undergo the most dramatic changes in their form as a person ages.
Example:
The clavicle, for instance, is a long bone connecting the shoulder blade to the sternum. It undergoes a gradual fusion of growth plates as a person matures.
In children and adolescents, assification reflects the progression of bone development, with certain bones hardening at specific ages.
Application of Ossification test: This test is commonly used in forensic science and legal contexts to accurately determine an individual's age when needed.
it is also used in some medical settings, such as to assess skeletal maturity in children with growth disorders.
