Abstract	Though the biological treatment employing bacterial strains has wide application in effluent treatment plant, it has got several limitations. Researches hence while looking for alternative biological organisms that can be used for secondary treatment came up with the idea of using microalgae. Since then, a large number of microalgal/cyanobacterial strains have been identified that can efficiently remove pollutants from wastewater. Some researchers also found out that the algal biomass not only acts as a carbon sink by taking up carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and giving oxygen but also is a renewable source of several value-added products that can be extracted from it for the commercial use. In this work, the cleaning effect of different species of microalgae/cyanobacteria on wastewater from varied sources along with the value-added products obtained from the algal biomass as observed by researchers during the past few years are reviewed. While a number of review works in the field of phycoremediation technology was reported in literature, a comprehensive study on phycoremediation of wastewater from different industries and household individually is limited. In the present review work, the efficiency of diverse microalgal/cyanobacterial strains in treatment of wide range of industrial effluents along with municipal wastewater having multi-pollutants has been critically reviewed.

Abstract	Background and aims: Menstruation is a normal physiological process and a key sign of reproductive health in women in the reproductive age group. Poor menstrual hygiene affects the educational activities as well as the day to day activities of women. The objective of this study is to assess the practices of menstrual hygiene among women aged 15-49 years attending a tertiary care hospital in Kolkata and to assess their knowledge regarding menstrual hygiene. Materials and methods: This was a hospital-based cross-sectional study conducted among the women belonging to the age group of 15-49 years attending the outpatient department of Gynaecology. Predesigned, pretested, semi-structured questionnaire was used as a study tool. Interview method was used for data collection after obtaining informed consent from the participants. Data were analysed by SPSS 20v software. Association between variables was checked by Chi-square test & Results: Mean age of respondents was 28.03 ± 7.01 years. The cause of menstruation as a normal body function constituted maximum response (43.5%) whereas the reason was unknown to many (37%). Regarding restrictions during menstruation, it was mentioned that avoiding worshipping was the commonest restriction (90.2%), followed by restriction in diet (32.6%). Use of readymade absorbents was found in most of the subjects (91%) followed by homemade reusable (6.5%) and homemade disposable (2.2%). Around 77.2% of them packed the napkins and disposed in garbage. Those who were aware about menstrual hygiene were found to be practicing satisfactory perineal cleaning ( Conclusion: Health education and awareness programme focusing on menstrual hygiene must be intensified. School curriculum can play a vital role in implementing health education.

Abstract	Purpose: Impact of COVID-19 pandemic on antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is largely studied in healthcare settings, there is a need to understand the fluctuations in AMR during pandemic at the community level. Urinary tract infection (UTI) being one of the most common infections in the community, AMR profile of Community-acquired UTI (CA-UTI) is considered representative AMR at the community level. Patients and methods: The study was taken in cohort of patients with clinical diagnosis of CA-UTI. The four study sites represented different community health centres in India. Escherichia coli (E.coli) isolates were analysed phenotypically and genotypically for AMR during Pre-COVID (Oct 2019- Feb 2020), 1st wave (Mar 2020 - Feb 2021) and 2nd wave of COVID-19 (Mar 2021- Dec 2021). Results: E. coli was the predominant uropathogen (229, 82%) . Increased susceptibility to nitrofurantoin was observed during pandemic. Reduced susceptibility to first line oral antibiotics and carbapenems was seen during 2nd wave. Increased MIC50 to beta-lactams and fluoroquinolones was seen during pandemic. Genomic analysis of E. coli isolates showed some AMR genes {aacC1, aacC4, SHV, QepA} only during 2nd wave. Conclusion: The good impact of pandemic was evidenced by increased susceptibility to nitrofurantoin. The significant decrease in susceptibility to oral antibiotics during 2nd wave and increased MIC50 of few antibiotics are the bad impact. Decreased susceptibility to last-resort carbapenems and occurrence of various AMR genes only during 2nd wave of pandemic are of great concern and are the ugly impact of pandemic on AMR.

Abstract	Numerous human pathogens, especially Gram-negative bacteria, are able to enter the viable-but-non-culturable (VBNC) state when they are exposed to environmental stressors and pose the risk of being resuscitated and causing infection after the removal of the trigger. Widely used food preservatives like weak organic acids are potential VBNC inducers in food processing and packaging facilities but have only been reported for food-borne pathogens. In the present study, it is demonstrated for the first time that one such agent, formic acid (FA), can induce a VBNC state at food processing, storage, and distribution temperatures (4, 25, and 37

Abstract	Background: Pregnancy which is not terminated within the boundaries of legal definition in India is called an unsafe abortion. Objective: To observe the proportion of unsafe abortions among total abortions in 15–49-year-old ever married women across India between 1990 and 2020. Materials and Methods: A comprehensive search was conducted in National Library of Medicine's PubMed database, IndMED, TRIP, Web of Science, and Google Scholar for articles published between January 1, 1990, and February 29, 2020. A combination of medical subject headings and free text word like abortion, induced, unsafe, women 15–49 years, prevalence, and India were used. Each article was assessed for quality using Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal Tool. The proportion of subjects classified as having unsafe abortion was the outcome of meta-analysis. Analysis was done using Comprehensive Meta-Analysis version 2.2. All pooled estimates were calculated using DerSimonian–Laird random-effects model and reported as a proportion with 95% confidence intervals. Results: The pooled estimate of the mean prevalence of unsafe abortion in India was 37.56% (confidence interval: 20.68–54.44). There was a significant heterogeneity between the studies (I2 = 99.98% and Cochran's Q = 113538.65, df = 18, P < 0.001). Conclusion: Even after several amendments in Medical Termination of Pregnancy Act 1971 till 2020, unsafe abortions are highly prevalent in entire India, irrespective of high-performance or low-performance states. In urban India, the prevalence of unsafe abortions is comparatively higher than rural areas.

Abstract	Background: Out of every five deaths in India three are due to Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs). Two major modifiable risk factors for NCDs are overweight and socioeconomic inequality. This study assesses the burden of various NCDs risk factors and their relationship with socioeconomic inequality and overweight among the underprivileged population. Aim: To compare the different Non-Communicable Diseases risk factors with socioeconomic inequality and overweight. To evaluate the relationship between socioeconomic inequality and body weight with NCDs. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional study incorporating 241 random sample of participants was assessed using WHO Stepwise approach to NCD risk factor surveillance. Anthropometric measurements and biochemical analysis of 12 h of fasting venous blood samples were done. Data were analyzed using Stata version 16 and Graph Pad Prism 8, using two-sided significance tests at the 5% significance level. Results: The study finds a 10-fold higher risk of tobacco use ( AOR = 10.18, C.I = 2.79 - 37.10) and 5 times higher risk of alcohol use AOR = 5.57, C.I = 1.25 - 24.65) among people with poor SES compared to higher SES. A significant correlation was observed between BMI, LDL cholesterol ( Conclusion: The study showed that the socioeconomic patterning of the population is significantly associated with NCD risk factors. Obesity was closely linked with several major NCD risk factors.
