    Abstract Background: Social support has been considered an important social determinant of health because it assists individuals in reaching their physical and emotional needs. The current study was proposed to assess the social support status of the elderly in rural central India.
    Material and methods: This observational cross-sectional study was conducted in selected four villages in central India on 460 elderly individuals for 5 months (Aug-Dec 2021) with the use of the MSPSS (Multi-dimensional Scale Perceived Social Support) questionnaire. Univariate analysis and multivariate analysis were carried out using R software.
    Result: Out of 460, 37 (8.04%) of the elderly were found to have low, 177 (38.47%) were moderate, and 246 (53.48%) were having high social support. The result showed age and education of the elderly were significantly associated with social support.
    Conclusion: Intergenerational activities

    Abstract Recovery of function following a complete spinal cord injury (SCI) or an incomplete SCI where recovery has plateaued still eludes us despite extensive research. Epidural spinal cord stimulation (SCS) was initially used for managing neuropathic pain. It has subsequently demonstrated improvement in motor function in otherwise non-recovering chronic spinal cord injury in animal and human trials. The mechanisms of how it is precisely effective in doing so will need further research, which would help refine the technology for broader application. Transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation (TSCS) is also emerging as a modality to improve the functional outcome in SCI individuals, especially when coupled with appropriate rehabilitation. Apart from motor recovery, ESCS and TSCS have also shown improvement in autonomic, metabolic, genitourinary, and pulmonary function. Since the literature on this is still in its infancy, with no large-scale randomised trials and different studies using different protocols in a wide range of patients, a review of the present literature is imperative to better understand the latest developments in this field. This article examines the existing literature on the use of SCS for SCI individuals with the purpose of enabling functional recovery. It also examines the voids in the present research, thus providing future directions.

    Abstract Background Around half of the pregnant women in India do not receive full antenatal care. During the year 2020, routine health services were further affected by COVID-19. This study was conducted to assess the effect of the pandemic on the delivery/utilization of reproductive, maternal, newborn, child health, and adolescent (RMNCH+A) services. Methodology The study, conducted in Wardha district, Maharashtra, from July to December 2020, aimed to assess maternal health. In Wardha block, 200 pregnant and postnatal women were surveyed using a multistage sampling approach. Adequate knowledge was gauged through Mother and Child Protection Card comprehension. Health system data for April to December 2020 was compared with 2019 district-wide. In-depth interviews were conducted with beneficiaries, including pregnant and post-natal women and healthcare workers. The qualitative inquiries involved medical officers, supervisory staff, community health officers, an auxiliary nurse and midwife (ANMs), Taluka Health Officers, and focus group discussions with accredited social health activists (ASHA), Anganwadi workers (AWW), and Village Health Nutrition and Sanitation Committee members. Results Essential services were delivered to both antenatal and postpartum women, though family planning services and health education were the worst affected. Among the survey respondents, 75% of the post-partum women were not using any contraceptives. District-wide coverage of post-abortion/MTP contraception fell by around 90% as compared to the previous year. The most common difficulties faced by the respondents in availing of the services were related to finances and arranging transport to visit health facilities. Conclusion Learning from the current pandemic for system strengthening, adequate manpower, and planning to prevent disruption of essential services and promoting e-health and m-health initiatives may prevent such catastrophic events in the future from affecting the delivery of routine services.

    Abstract Introduction: In recent decades, there has been a rising trend of spinal surgical interventional techniques, especially Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery (MIS), to improve the quality of life in an effective and safe manner. However, MIS techniques tend to be difficult to adapt and are associated with an increased risk of radiation exposure. This led to the development of 'computer-assisted surgery' in 1983, which integrated CT images into spinal procedures evolving into the present day robotic-assisted spine surgery. The authors aim to review the development of spine surgeries and provide an overview of the benefits offered. It includes all the comparative studies available to date.
    Methods: The manuscript has been prepared as per "SANRA-a scale for the quality assessment of narrative review articles". The authors searched Pubmed, Embase, and Scopus using the terms "(((((Robotics) OR (Navigation)) OR (computer assisted)) OR (3D navigation)) OR (Freehand)) OR (O-Arm)) AND (spine surgery)" and 68 articles were included for analysis excluding review articles, meta-analyses, or systematic literature.
    Results: The authors noted that 49 out of 68 studies showed increased precision of pedicle screw insertion, 10 out of 19 studies show decreased radiation exposure, 13 studies noted decreased operative time,
    Conclusion: Computer-assisted surgeries have better accuracy of pedicle screw insertion, decreased blood loss and operative time, reduced radiation exposure, improved functional outcomes, and lesser complications.

    Abstract Introduction: Distal tibia fractures have been managed conservatively as well surgically. A large number of implants have been used for surgical management of these fractures. No treatment method or implant has been proven to be superior to others. In this prospective comparative study, the complications and outcome of distal tibia fractures managed with intramedullary nails and minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis has been compared. Further, the role of fibula fixation in these fractures has been evaluated.
    Materials and method: One hundred and fifty-four patients of distal tibia fractures with concomitant fibula fractures were randomized into 4 treatment groups based on predetermined inclusion criteria. Functional outcome in these groups was compared based on AOFAS score at 1 year. Intra-operative, post-operative parameters as well as radiological alignment, complications and the need for reoperation were also compared in these groups.
    Result: The functional outcome in all four treatment groups was similar. The duration of surgery and radiation exposure was higher with minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis. There was no improvement in outcome with plating of fibula. However, fixation of fibula improved the rotational alignment in distal tibia fractures.
    Conclusion: Although there is no difference in outcome of distal tibia fractures with either nailing or minimally invasive plating, nailing is recommended for closed displaced extraarticular fractures. Fixation of fibula should not be done routinely but should be reserved only for a few specific fracture patterns.

    Abstract Introduction: Deaths, defaults, relapses, and treatment failures have made the control of TB difficult across the globe. Methodology: This study is a record-based follow-up of a cohort of patients registered under Revised National Tuberculosis Control Program in the year 2014 in Wardha Tuberculosis Unit, India. Data was collected from the records available at the District Tuberculosis Office. Results: Data of 510 patients was analyzed. The sputum conversion rate was 88%. The overall treatment success rate was 81.9%, and rates of any adverse outcome, deaths, defaults, failure, and shift to Category IV regimen were 32.60/100 person years at risk (PYAR), 16.88/100 PYAR, 11.12/100 PYAR, 3.45/100 PYAR, and 1.15/100 PYAR, respectively. The median times for the above outcomes were 81 days, 110 days, 66 days, 118 days, and 237 days, respectively. The cumulative probability of occurrence at 6 months of any adverse outcome, deaths, default, failure, and shift to Category IV regimen was 0.145, 0.056, 0.088, 0.002, and 0.004, respectively. On multivariate analysis, the determinant of any adverse outcome was age >45 years, whereas extrapulmonary disease was protective. The hazard of defaulting was also significantly higher in male patients and those aged >45 years. Conclusion: Appropriate interventions and program implementation to reduce the adverse treatment outcomes and interruptions will help in improving program performance.

    Abstract Schools provide a crucial platform for health and well-being interventions targeting children and adolescents. Early promotive and preventive initiatives are vital for enabling children and adolescents to reach their optimal potential, thereby adding to the country's social return-on-investment, creating a favourable demographic dividend. This review analyses the evolution of school health initiatives in India, including the current curriculum proposed under the Ayushman Bharat program. The manuscript highlights the challenges, and gaps in implementation of the current school health programs and proposes potential pathways for bridging these gaps for promotion of adolescent well-being. The review also discusses the concept of Health Promoting Schools and suggests adaptations and key recommendations to Indian context regarding 'how' to translate it into on-field reality based on the appraisal of successful case studies from other countries. Though India started school health services more than 100 y ago, the school health programmes in most Indian states are weak and fragmented, with piecemeal health screening with minimal focus on health promotion and well-being. The recently launched School Health and Wellness initiative under the Ayushman Bharat program has lots of promise. However, it needs to be translated into effective implementation to prevent it from meeting the fate of its forerunner programs. The school health program needs to move beyond the screening centric approach and be aspirational and holistic in nature focusing upon the overall well-being of the adolescents. Concerted efforts through intersectoral convergence are needed to optimally utilise the platforms of schools for promotion of adolescent well-being.

    Abstract Background: Timely treatment of tuberculosis is imperative for its control. This can get delayed due to delay in care seeking, diagnosis or treatment initiation.
    Objectives: The study aims to find out the magnitude of delays in care seeking, diagnosis or treatment initiation, and understand the reasons behind these delays in Wardha district of Maharashtra, India.
    Methods: A mixed methods study was conducted among 275 patients selected from those enrolled under Revised National Tuberculosis Control Programme in 2014. We collected information regarding the duration of delays and generated a free list of reasons for delays in care seeking and diagnosis. The free list items were then subjected to pile sorting. Two-dimensional scaling and hierarchical clustering analysis were performed to identify the various domains of reasons for delays.
    Results: The median delay in initial care seeking and diagnosis was 10 days each, and that for treatment initiation was 2 days. The domains identified for delay in care seeking were negligence toward health, health conditions, facility-related issues, and household and social reasons. The domains identified for delay in diagnosis were system-related reasons; and patient-related reasons, each of them further having two subdomains.
    Conclusions: Interventions for reducing the knowledge gap and stigma, increasing the accessibility of services, active case finding; capacity building of providers, quality assured sputum microscopy, and communication skills will help reduce these delays.
