Background: Different adjuvant drugs have been used to improve the quality and increase the duration of local anesthetics during various nerve block techniques. More recently ultrasound-guided TAP block has been described with promises of better localisation and deposition of the local anaesthetic with improved accuracy. The transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block is a novel approach for blocking the abdominal wall neural afferents.

Background: An Epidemic of Mucormycosis along with second wave of covid-19 pandemic was seen in Gujarat and other states also which was very serious problem. So, aim of this study was to know the epidemiology of mucormycosis during covid-19 pandemic.
Methods: A Cross-sectional study was conducted at Civil Hospital, Ahmedabad which included total of 769 confirmed cases of mucormycosis admitted between 11th May to 21st June, 2021.

Objectives: This study aimed to estimate the level of awareness and knowledge regarding Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation during basic life support among female students at King Faisal University in Al-Ahssa, Saudi Arabia.

Background: Ayushman Bharat PM-JAY is the largest health assurance scheme in the world which aims at providing health cover of Rs 5 lakhs per family / year for secondary and tertiary care hospitalization to cover 10.74 crores poor and vulnerable families (approximately 50 crore beneficiaries) that form the bottom 40% of the Indian population.

Background: There are few Burundian data available on cardiovascular risk factors.
Aim: To determine the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors in rural area of Burundi.
Patients and methods: This was a survey carried out during the celebration of World Heart Day at the ʺNatwe Turashoboyeˮ hospital in the province of Karusi. We systematically recorded anyone who came for voluntary assessment of cardiovascular risk factors or cardiovascular disease.

Background: Metabolic syndrome was relatively unknown in sub-Saharan Africa in the past. The disease burden, then was mainly attributable to infections and infestations. However, due to Westernisation and urbanization, there is a shift from communicable to non-communicable diseases hence the rise in metabolic syndrome and its attendant cardiovascular complications. This study assessed the prevalence of metabolicsyndrome and its risk factors in a sub-urban community in the Niger Delta region of Southern Nigeria.
