Background: Biomedical Waste (BMW) collection and proper disposal has become a significant concern for both the medical and general community. It is estimated that 10-25% of healthcare waste is hazardous, with the potential to create a variety of health problems. Handling, segregation, mutilation, disinfection, storage, transportation and final disposal are vital steps for safe and scientific management of biomedical waste in any establishment. Objectives: To assess the knowledge, attitude and practice among healthcare personnel working in a tertiary care centre.

Background: Biomedical waste collection and proper disposal has become significant concern for medical and general community. The scientific hospital waste management is a vital importance as its improper management poses risk to healthcare workers, waste handlers, patients, community in general and largely the environment. Aims and Objectives: (i.)To assess current practices of biomedical waste management including generation, collection, transportation, storage, treatment and disposal technologies in tertiary health care center. (ii.)To assess health and safety practices for health care personal involved in biomedical waste management.

Introduction: Every child has the right to live in a safe environment. Injury in children is related to many factors among which the most important is the environment where they live. Aim and Objectives: 1) To study the magnitude of home injuries in children aged 0-14 years. 2) To assess the environmental risk profile associated with home injuries in children aged 0-14 years residing in Mehrauli. Materials and Methods: A community based cross-sectional study was conducted in 2015 in a ward of Mehrali, Delhi. Sampling unit was household. Study units were children aged 0-14 completed years. A sample of 400 households was visited and the population surveyed was 2024 of which 622 (32.5%) were children of 0-14 years. Both the child and the parents (Mother/ Father/Caretaker) of children, were interviewed after taking written informed consent from the parents. Information was taken using a self -designed, semi-structured, semi-open, pretested proforma. The data was analysed using SPSS version 12.

Purpose: To understand total visual experience of a colour vision defective, this study evaluated responses with X-Chrome lenses on three most prevalent colour vision testing techniques.

Introduction: Occupational back pain is most common symptoms among seated workers, standing workers, truck drivers and so on. Driving frequently involves many risk factors such as prolonged sitting and motor vehicle driving, vibration, tight running schedules, reduced rest breaks, the sedentary nature of job etc.

Allergic rhinitis and asthma are often found together, and the characteristics of the two diseases are quite similar. Many epidemiologic studies have provided evidence to support the theory that allergic or perennial rhinitis often precedes the development of asthma in the same patient and that the development of asthma is seen much more frequently in people with both seasonal and perennial rhinitis than in people with either condition alone. Perennial rhinitis has been associated with increase in non-specific bronchial hyper-responsiveness. Rhinitis and asthma were found to be comorbidities regardless of atopic state. Several studies have demonstrated the frequent coexistence of allergic rhinitis and asthma, that allergic rhinitis usually precedes asthma, and that allergic rhinitis is a risk factor for asthma. Further, many studies have suggested that early age of onset of atopy may be an important predictive factor of respiratory symptom. However, not all patients with rhinitis present with asthma and there are some differences between the two conditions.

Background: The migrant intervention in India was initiated during the National AIDS Control Program (NACP) Phase-2 (2002-2007). Even by the end of NACP Phase-3 (2010-11); the service uptake among migrants remained very low (14% referred for HIV testing, of which only 37% were tested). USAID PHFI-PIPPSE project in collaboration with the National AIDS Control Organization (NACO) developed a unique system called Migrant Service Delivery System (MSDS) to capture migrants profile with respect to their risk profile and to provide tailor made services to them. Description: MSDS is a web-based system, designed and implemented to increase service uptake among migrants through evidence based planning. 110 destination migrants Targeted Intervention (TI) from 11 states were selected for study with varied target populations in terms of occupations; to understand occupation related risk behaviors amongst the migrants. Occupation wise registration data of high risk vulnerable migrants were analyzed through MSDS for the period April 2014-June 2016. Analysis was made on specific indicators amongst these occupational groups to understand the risk behavior and their vulnerability to HIV and STI.
