WHO declared coronavirus 2(SARS-CoV-2) as a pandemic on March 11, 2020. COVID-19 vaccines have been rapidly developed and distributed to help fight the pandemic. By January 2021, use of the Covishield vaccine and Covaxin vaccine use was approved. India began its vaccination program on 16 January 2021. The objective of the study is to assess the severity of COVID 19 infection among those vaccinated and unvaccinated as this will help us to assess the efficacy of the vaccines.By Convenient sampling technique the data of all those patients who were admitted in tertiary care centers in Tumkur district during second wave (April-July 2021) of COVID 19 infection were assessed from their medical records. The severity of the COVID 19 infection was assessed by evaluating the CT scores, lymphocyte/ neutrophil ratio, platelet distribution width, medical treatment provided and outcome which was later compared to vaccine status of the patients. Out of 220 patients in the study, 188(85.5%) were not vaccinated, 183(83.2%) had a positive RT PCR report, with most having CT of moderate changes (45.9%). Only 42(19.1%) patients underwent intubation and 28(12.7%) patients died. Using Chi Square test it was seen that those who were not vaccinated had moderate to severe CT scores (P = 0.026).Those who were not vaccinated had a higher chance of developing moderate to severe CT changes, though the death rate was less. Vaccine is found to be efficacious in fighting against COVID-19.

- Abstract
The HAWC Collaboration released the 2HWC catalogue of TeV sources, in which 19 show no association with any known high-energy (HE; E ≳ 10 GeV) or very-high-energy (VHE; E ≳ 300 GeV) sources. This catalogue motivated follow-up studies by both the Major Atmospheric Gamma-ray Imaging Cherenkov (MAGIC) and Fermi-LAT (Large Area Telescope) observatories with the aim of investigating gamma-ray emission over a broad energy band. In this paper, we report the results from the first joint work between High Altitude Water Cherenkov (HAWC), MAGIC, and Fermi-LAT on three unassociated HAWC sources: 2HWC J2006+341, 2HWC J1907+084*, and 2HWC J1852+013*. Although no significant detection was found in the HE and VHE regimes, this investigation shows that a minimum 1° extension (at 95 per cent confidence level) and harder spectrum in the GeV than the one extrapolated from HAWC results are required in the case of 2HWC J1852+013*, whilst a simply minimum extension of 0.16° (at 95 per cent confidence level) can already explain the scenario proposed by HAWC for the remaining sources. Moreover, the hypothesis that these sources are pulsar wind nebulae is also investigated in detail.

Introduction: Demographic and epidemiological transitions have increased the life expectancy of people in India. This has resulted in higher burden of morbidities related to aging. The National Health programmes have focused mainly on the health of women in reproductive age groups and neglected their health thereafter. Thus, there is a need to explore the bio-social correlates of menopausal symptoms among women, which can influence their quality of life. Subjects and Methods: This cross-sectional community-based study was conducted in the urban slum of Mysore for 3 months. A total of 100 postmenopausal women in the age group of 40-65 years residing in the field practice area of Urban Health Training Centre were selected by simple random sampling method from the database of households. Details regarding socio-demographic characteristics, postmenopausal symptoms, and factors associated with them were collected in a pretested structured pro forma by interview technique. Results: Among 100 women included in the present study, mean age at menarche and menopause was 13.45 ± 1.72 and 46.7 ± 5.2 years, respectively. The most common postmenopausal symptom was joint pain (92%) followed by physical and mental exhaustion (84%), depression (76%), irritability (73%), hot flushes, and night sweats (65%). There was a significant positive correlation between age of the women, duration of life after menopause, and postmenopausal symptoms. Conclusion: There is a high burden of postmenopausal symptoms which have shown an increasing trend with advancement of age. This calls for establishment of specific health interventions for postmenopausal women in the health-care settings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
