https://medicaljournals.stmjournals.in/index.php/RRJoMV/article/view/3390
Tuberculosis (TB) remains a global health emergency, with India being the epicenter, recording 2.23 million cases and approximately 4.53 lakhs deaths in 2021. Despite efforts by the National Tuberculosis Eradication Program (NTEP), the anticipated decrease in the incidence and prevalence of TB has not been actualized. This paper examines the persistently high rates of TB in India, identifying critical risk factors such as male gender, marital status, overcrowding, socioeconomic disadvantages, HIV comorbidity, pre-existing conditions like diabetes, family history, and substance use like smoking and alcohol. Some of the Patients are diagnosed but they are missed from treatment because of patient negligence leading to drug resistant TB. The escalation of drug-resistant TB strains, including MDR and XDR, poses a significant hurdle to effective TB management. One infectious TB patient can spread the disease to ten people in a year. Pulmonary TB especially Pediatric Tuberculosis and pulmonary tuberculosis has an impact on this situation. The potential diagnostic modalities—phenotypic, genotypic, and immunological methods are widely used, each of the method has its own demerits which may delay the Treatment in TB patient. Immunological techniques though it is easier to perform but it correlates with other diseases resulting in wrong diagnosis, thus these techniques are not recommended for active TB diagnosis. The advanced technique with an emphasis on real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) assays is discussed. The findings underscore the urgent need for an enhanced understanding of TB's risk factors and the integration of robust diagnostic approaches to fortify control strategies and mitigate the TB burden in India.Kalaiselvi KSankareswaran .Kanmani K

https://medicaljournals.stmjournals.in/index.php/RRJoMV/article/view/3417
<p>This comprehensive review delves into the multifaceted role of the gut microbiota in human health, elucidating its impact on diverse physiological processes, immune responses, and metabolic diseases. The intricate interplay of diet, genetics, and environmental factors is explored in shaping the composition and function of the gut microbiota, with consequential effects on conditions ranging from metabolic disorders to inflammatory bowel diseases and mental health. Therapeutic interventions, including probiotics, prebiotics, and fecal microbiota transplantation, are examined for their potential in modulating gut microbiota and improving health outcomes. The integration of microbiome profiling into personalized medicine is highlighted as a promising avenue for advancing diagnostics and treatments across various health conditions. As ongoing research continues to unravel the complexities of the gut microbiota, this review underscores its profound impact on human health, emphasizing the emerging potential for innovative preventive and therapeutic strategies. Furthermore, this review delves into the intricate mechanisms through which the gut microbiota influences human health, shedding light on its role in modulating immune responses, regulating energy metabolism, and even impacting neurobehavioral functions. By meticulously examining the intricate interplay of dietary patterns, host genetics, and environmental factors, the review provides deeper insights into the factors shaping the diversity and stability of the gut microbiota, thus influencing susceptibility to various diseases. Moreover, it critically evaluates the therapeutic potential of interventions such as dietary modifications, microbial supplementation, and microbiota-targeted medications in restoring microbial balance and ameliorating disease states. Additionally, the review underscores the significance of ongoing research efforts aimed at elucidating the complex interactions within the gut microbiome and their implications for personalized healthcare approaches. In conclusion, this comprehensive review underscores the pivotal role of the gut microbiota in human health and disease, while highlighting the exciting prospects for innovative preventive and therapeutic strategies in the evolving landscape of microbiome-based medicine.</p>Ramya C VZaid Khan
