Abstract: Education is a platform in which young generations are trained and make them future-ready. Education provides knowledge and skills which help the person to be employable. The Indian education system is very popular and diversified among other countries' education systems due to its change in the evolution from ancient to the modern education system. During the ancient and medieval periods of education, students were trained by teachers in such a manner that they can survive and live in that era. After independence, there is a tremendous growth in the Indian education system providing teaching and training in all aspects, but it does not satisfy the global demands of the market. The mentioned points are used to differentiate ancient, medieval, and modern education with advantages and disadvantages. In ancient India, both formal and informal ways of education system existed. Indigenous education was imparted at home, in temples, pathshalas, chatuspadis and gurukuls. Temples were also the centers of learning and took interest in the promotion of knowledge of our ancient system. Students went to viharas and universities for higher knowledge. Teaching was largely oral and students remembered and meditated upon what was taught in the class. Gurukuls, also known as ashrams, were the residential places of learning. Many of these were named after the sages. Situated in forests, in serene and peaceful surroundings, hundreds of students used to learn together in gurukuls. Women too had access to education during the early Vedic period. Among the prominent women Vedic scholars, we find references to Maitreyi, Viswambhara, Apala, Gargi and Lopamudra, to name a few. During that period, the gurus and their shishyas lived together helping each other in day-to-day life. The main objective was to have complete learning, leading a disciplined life and realizing one's inner potential. Students lived away from their homes for years together till they achieved their goals. The gurukul was also the place where the relationship of the guru and shishya strengthened with time. While pursuing their education in different disciplines like history, art of debate, law, medicine, etc., the emphasis was not only on the outer dimensions of the discipline but also on enriching inner dimensions of the personality.

 Abstract

Asthma, a globally prevalent respiratory condition, involves chronic airway inflammation and variable expiratory airflow limitation. Among elite athletes, respiratory conditions are notably common, affecting 20% to 70% across specific sports. Exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB) is a frequent issue, impacting performance. The prevalence varies based on sport, training, and genetics. Although exercise triggers asthma, paradoxically, it can also enhance pulmonary function. Athletes' asthma phenotypes differ, posing challenges in management. Unique aspects include heightened airway sensitivity, allergen exposure, pollutants, and temperature variations. This review delves into EIB in athletes, covering pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment. EIB's pathogenesis involves complex interactions, including airway dehydration and cooling. Airway inflammation and hyper-responsiveness are common. Elite athletes show distinct inflammatory responses influenced by sport, training, and environment. Certain sports, like swimming, pose higher EIB risks, with chlorine exposure in pools being a notable factor. Diagnosing EIB in athletes requires objective testing, as baseline lung function tests may yield normal results. Exercise and bronchoprovocation tests provide reliable diagnoses. Spirometry and bronchodilation tests are standard, but emphasis is shifting toward provocation tests. Despite challenges, optimal diagnosis is crucial for effective management, leading to improved performance and quality of life. Managing EIB aligns with general principles for symptom control, prevention, and reducing complications. Non-pharmacological approaches, trigger avoidance, and warming up are essential. Inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) are key in asthma therapy for athletes, discouraging sole use of short-acting beta agonists. Mast cell stabilizing agents (MCSA) and leukotriene receptor antagonists (LTRA) are likely options. Optimal management enhances athletes' quality of life and allows effective pursuit of competitive sports.

 Abstract

Phosphorus plays a crucial role in various physiological functions, including skeletal development, mineral metabolism, cell membrane phospholipid function, mitochondrial metabolism, cell signalling, and platelet aggregation. The typical daily diet introduces about 1000-1400 mg of phosphorus. Two-thirds of this phosphorus is excreted in urine, while the remaining third is eliminated in stools. Kidney function significantly influences phosphorus excretion, making chronic renal failure the primary cause of hyperphosphatemia. Despite advancements, challenges persist in achieving and maintaining target phosphate levels, particularly in the context of modern diets rich in phosphate additives. A significant percentage of dialysis patients struggle to keep their phosphate levels within recommended ranges, emphasizing the need for ongoing innovations in phosphate management therapies.

 Abstract

Premarital screening is a worldwide activity that aims to diagnose and treat unrecognized disorders and reduce the transmission of diseases to couples and children, it is considered as the primary preventive approach for couples who planned for conception. The researchers conducted a cross sectional study to understand knowledge and perception of pre-marital screening among conveniently selected unmarried 400 students from the selected colleges of Uttarpradesh India. Along with the basic demographic questions, the self-administered tool on knowledge and attitude of premarital screening was administered after obtaining informed consent from the research participants. After careful data collection, scrutinizing and analyzing, the result showed that the level of knowledge among the study participants, it revealed that about 21.5% were having adequate knowledge, 58.25% were having moderately adequate knowledge and 20.25% were having inadequate knowledge and the level of attitude among the study participants, it revealed that about 45.25% had a good attitude, 48.5% had a average attitude and 6.25% had a poor attitude. On associating the demographic variables with the knowledge of the premarital screening, there was a significant association with the demographic variables like age, family income and the residential area. The research concluded that the importance of understanding and applying the knowledge of pre-marital screening still being a taboo or a question of self-respect in a culturally bounded country like India, the going-to-be society is too crumbled in the same societal foundations. Awareness and education on the topic of premarital screening is the need of the hour for the developing countries like India.

 Abstract

Leptospirosis is a widespread and potentially deadly zoonosis that is endemic in many tropical regions and causes large epidemics after heavy rainfall and flooding. People living in urban areas are at high risk of rat exposure and leptospirosis. The global burden of leptospirosis is expected to rise with demographic shifts (increase in the population) that increase the number of urban poor (people residing in slums) in tropical regions. The impact of leptospirosis on the slum population may increase with storms and urban flooding due to climate change. Rat fever has been a major threat to the State of Kerala with more than 1,000 cases being reported annually. It causes the highest number of deaths among all communicable diseases in the state of Kerala. At least 100 deaths had been reported yearly in Kerala before 2010. This study is designed to understand and analyze the disease patterns across the state, using Geographic Information System (GIS), and Satellite Remote Sensing (RS) along with climatic and demographic datasets. The datasets have been analyzed with statistical techniques using Geoda Software. As a result, maps, tables, and graphs have been plotted to estimate the most significant parameters. These parameters have been assigned a weight value to prepare a model and Threat Index Map for the study area. This model can be used as a disease early warning system.
