Trachoma is the leading infectious cause of blindness worldwide. It is caused by an obligate intracellular bacterium called Chlamydia trachomatis.

The infection is transmitted by direct or indirect transfer of eye and nose discharges of infected people, particularly young children who harbour the principal reservoir of infection. These discharges can be spread by particular species of flies.

India has become free from Trachoma—a chronic infective disease of the eye and a leading cause of infective blindness in 2017.

What is Proning and How to breathe better when Oxygen level drops?

As the coronavirus pandemic progressed and patients struggled to breathe, hospitals across the world learned that very sick patients were able to breathe better when they were flipped onto their stomachs. 'Proning' is a medically accepted position to improve breathing comfort and oxygenation in COVID-19 patients.

This positioning, called proning (or prone-positioning), has been used for decades to improve clinical outcomes for those suffering from acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), the lung condition that patients with severe COVID-19 cases develop. While proned, the patient is made to lie on his/her belly using pillows. One can also lie on their right side( right lateral), left side ( left lateral) or sit at a 60-90 degree angle in the ‘fowler position’.

If Oxygen saturation is (SpO2) drops below 94, timely proning and maintaining good ventilation can save a life. Proning improves ventilation to the lungs, and keeps the alveoli units (tiny balloon shaped structures that are the smallest passageway in the respiratory system) open, thereby easing breathing

🔺Compulsory Licensing

Compulsory Licensing (CL) allows governments to license third parties (that is, parties other than the patent holders) to produce and market a patented product or process without the consent of patent owners.

Any time after three years from date of sealing of a patent, application for compulsory license can be made, provided:

-Reasonable requirements of public have not been satisfied;
-Patented invention is not available to public at a reasonably affordable price;
-Patented inventions are not carried out in India.

Compulsory Licencing is regulated under the Indian Patent Act, 1970.

🔺Section 3(d) of the Indian Patent Act 1970 (as amended in 2005) does not allow patent to be granted to inventions involving new forms of a known substance unless it differs significantly in properties with regard to efficacy.

This means that the Indian Patent Act does not allow evergreening of patents.
