Museum

The subject of Community Medicine also referred as Preventive & Social Medicine (P & SM) is learnt by multiple ways such as lectures, tutorials, practical, group discussion, field visits, family studies etc. The museum has been established in the Community Medicine Department in accordance with MCI guidelines and with an aim to make the medical students understand the various aspects of Public Health and its sub specialties. Entire museum has different segments. These different segments have been adequately covered by two and three dimensional models, charts, equipment, specimens. I am sure that the visits by the students as planned in the academic timetable and otherwise will be useful to them in acquiring the deep knowledge and understanding of this subject. The development of museum has been possible only due to the meticulous efforts of the faculty members and other staff members of this department. I would thank one and all staff members including teaching and non-teaching staff in this endeavor.

Sr.No.ModelsBriefing
1.Slow Sand FilterHISTORY: First used in Scotland (1804) and subsequently in England.
*Rate of filtration is 2-3 m.g.a.d
*Used for purification of water in small towns.
*Consists of four parts: Supernatant raw water, a bed of graded sand, an under-drainage system, a system of filter control valves.
*Works on principal of plain sedimentation.
*After use for first times, a slimy layer develops on the surface of the sand bed called as vital layer. The event is called “ripening of filter”. It removes organic matter, holds back bacteria and oxidizes ammoniacal nitrogen into nitrates and helps in yielding a bacteria free water.
*Effective size of sand 0.2-0.3 mm.
*Sand bed is cleaned by “scraping” off the top portion of sand layer to a depth of 1 or 2 cm.
*It removes bacteria by 99.9-99.0%
*It occupies a large area but it easily operated.
2.Rapid Sand Filter*HISTORY:First used in USA (1885).
*Used for purification of water in big cities.
*Rapid sand filters are of two types: (1) Gravity type[Paterson’s Filter](2) Pressure type [Candy’s filter]
*Works on principal of coagulation and sedimentation.
*Steps involved in Rapid Sand Filter are: (1) Coagulation (2) Rapid Mixing (3) Flocculation (4) Sedimentation (5) Filtration
*Effective size of sand 0.4-0.7 mm.
*Here no vital layer is present, but the “alum-floc” not removed by sedimentation is held back on sand bed. This absorbs bacteria and effects purification and is comparable to vital layer in case of slow sand filter.
*Cleaning of sand bed is done by reversal of water flow causing dislodging of impurities. This is called “back- washing”
*It removes bacteria by 98-99%
*It occupies very little space, can deal with raw water directly but higher skills are required to operate it.
3.Chulha*A kitchen stove, often made of earth or bricks stacked together in shape of cuboid with an opening for fuel at one side and open top for use.
*Fuels generally used are twigs, coal, dry wood.
*It is used in villages and also in urban slums.
*Indoor air quality is the quality of air within and around buildings and structures.
*It causes Indoor Air Pollution.
*It releases the harmful gases which causes respiratory problems like Asthma, bronchitis, COPD etc
*It emits a number of harmful gases including carbon monoxide which aided by improper ventilation and overcrowding causes a higher risk of Lung carcinoma
*People in villages believe that use of chulha makes the food pure and increases its nutrient value, because of this misbelief it has tough to eliminate this factor completely.
*Ujjwala Yojana of free cooking gas (LPG) for poor households has been implemented by Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas by Indian Government.
4.Autoclave*Sterilizers which operate at high temperatures(in excess of 100 def C) and pressure are called autoclaves.
*Autoclave Sterilizers are used to decontaminate certain biological waste and sterilize media, instruments and lab ware.
*E.g. It is used for sterilization of contaminated waste, sharp waste, glassware.
*Regulated medical waste that might contain bacteria, viruses and other biological material are recommended to be inactivated by autoclaving before disposal.
*Principle: Steam under pressure-(saturated steam) which is most effective sterilizing agent.
*To be effective against spore forming bacteria and viruses, autoclaves need to have steam in direct contact with the material being sterilized (i.e. loading of items is very important).
*The efficiency of the sterilization process depends on two major factors. One of them is the thermal death time, i.e. the time microbes must be exposed to at a particular temperature before they are all dead. The second factor is the thermal death point or temperature at which all microbes in a sample are killed.
*Temperature- 121 deg C under 15 lbs /sq.inch
*Mode of Action Autoclave Sterilizers:
*Moist heat destroys microorganisms by the irreversible coagulation and denaturation of enzymes and structural proteins. In support of this fact, it has been found that the presence of moisture significantly affects the coagulation temperature of proteins and the temperature at which microorganisms are destroyed.
*Uses-It is most effective method for sterilization of linen, dressings, gloves, syringes, certain instruments and culture media.
*It is not suitable for sterilization of plastics and sharp instruments.
*Efficacy of Autoclaving checked by stearothermophilus bacillus.
5.Sanitary Latrine*It is non service type latrine.
*Criteria of sanitary latrine-
1.Excreta should not contaminate the ground or surface water.
2.Excreta should not pollute the soil
3.Excreta should not be accessible to flies, rodents, animals (pigs, dogs, cattle, etc.) and other vehicles of transmission
4.Excreta should not create a nuisance due to odour or unsightly appearance
*It has water seal trap which prevents access by flies
*Trap acts as a water seal barrier. It is a bent pipe, about 7.5cm (3 in.) in diameter and is connected with pan. It holds water and provides the necessary water seal.
*The water seal is the distance between the level of water in trap and the lowest point in concave upper surface of the trap.
*Different types of sanitary latrines-borehole latrine, dug well latrine, water seal latrine.
6.Salter Weighing Machine*It is used for monitoring of growth of child at Anganwadi
*Used for children 1-5 years
*It is provided by UNICEF
*It records and monitors the growth of child at periphery centers
*The spring hanging scale (SALTER) is commonly used for taking weight of children 1-5years.
*It is provided by UNICEF.
*This scale can weigh up to 25 kg and is graduated by 0.1kg (100g) increments.
*Steps for taking the weight of a child using Salter Scale:
1.Hook the scale to a tripod or a stick held horizontally by two people at eye level.
2.Suspend the weighing pants from the lower hook of scale and readjust the scale to zero.
3.Undress the child and place him/her in the weighing pants.
4.Hook the pants to the scale. When child is settled and the weight reading is stable record the weight to the nearest 100gms.
5.Make sure that nobody touches the pants or the scale during weighing. Ensure that the child hangs freely without holding onto anything.
6.Read and announce value from the scale. The assistant should repeat value for verification and record it immediately.
*It is used for monitoring of growth of child at Anganwadi.
*It records and monitors the growth of child at periphery centers.
*Early detection of malnutrition at periphery centers like anganwadi is possible with this Salter weighing scale and early referral of children is possible.
7.Reverse Osmosis Water System*It is used for purification of water at house and industries
*It produces treated water stream and relatively concentrated water stream
*Uses a semi permeable membrane to remove ions, molecules and larger particles from water
*In reverse osmosis, an applied pressure is used to overcome pressure, that is driven by chemical potential differences of the solvent.
*Reverse osmosis can remove many types of dissolved and suspended chemical species as well as biological ones (principally bacteria) from water, and is used in both industrial processes and the production of potable water.
*The result is that the solute is retained on the pressurized side of the membrane and the pure solvent is allowed to pass to the other side.
*Household RO units use a lot of water because they have low back pressure so they recover only 5 to 15% of water
*Drinking water purification steps involved following:
1.sediment filter to trap particles, including rust and calcium carbonate
2.a second sediment filter with smaller pores
3.An activated carbon filter to trap organic chemicals and chlorine, which will attack and degrade a thin film composite membrane
4.A reverse osmosis filter, which is a thin film composite membrane
5.Optionally, a second carbon filter to capture those chemicals not removed by the reverse osmosis membrane
6.An ultraviolet lamp for sterilizing any microbes that may escape filtering by the reverse osmosis membrane.
8.Infantometer*It is used to measure the length of infant
*Adv - easily transportable and flexible, durable and low maintenance cost.
*To monitor the growth of an infant at periphery centres.
*It has one fixed end and other end can be adjusted to the baby’s foot area
*Check that the child lies straight along the board and does not change position. Shoulders should touch the board, and the spine should not be arched. Ask the mother to inform you if the child arches the back or moves out of position.
*Hold down the child’s legs with one hand and move the footboard with the other. Apply gentle pressure to the knees to straighten the legs as far as they can go without causing injury.
*While holding the knees, pull the footboard against the child’s feet. The soles of the feet should be flat against the footboard, toes pointing upwards.
*If the child bends the toes and prevents the footboard from touching the soles, scratch the soles slightly and slide in the footboard quickly when the child straightens the toes.
*Read the measurement and record the child’s length in centimetres.

9.Rat Trapper*It is used to catch the rats
*Rat traps are usually set in an indoor location where there is a suspected infestation of rats.
*Rat traps are of lethal and non lethal type.
Types : 1. Rat cage trap - Non lethal It is metal cage box shaped device to catch the rats without killing them. When an animal enters the cage and moves toward the bait, the mechanism triggers and closes a door over the entry point. The animal is caught alive and without injury.
2.Glue rat trap - Non lethal
3.Victor electric rat trap - Lethal
4.Spring rat trap - Lethal
5.Bucket rat trap - Non lethal or Lethal
6.Disposable rat trap – Non lethal

*Rats spread the diseases like plague, leptospirosis, rat bite fever etc.
10Anemia Detection Chart*It is used to detect iron deficiency for general public.
*Person has to see in mirror and compare his color of tongue or oral mucosa with that of chart.
*Anemia can be due to iron deficiency due to worm infestation, chronic blood loss etc.
*RDA of iron is 30 mg.
11Sand Filter Model*Used as a step in the water treatment process of water purification.
#Three main types:
Rapid (gravity) sand filters
Upward flow sand filters
Slow sand filters
#The first two require the use of flocculent chemicals to work effectively while slow sand filters can produce very high quality water with pathogens removal, taste, odour without the need for chemical aids.
#Use: water treatment plants, water purification in singular households as they use materials which are available for most people.
12Water Testing Field Kit*It is called horrock’s apparatus

*Mansonia- ponds and lakes containing certain aquatic plants, especially the floating type like Pistia stratiotes and water hyacinth.
14Prevention And Control Of Malaria
*Environment control- is best approach for vector control
1.Anti adult measures
*Residual spraying: use of insecticides like Malathion, parathion, fenitrothion sprays, DDT spray and insecticide treated bed nets.
*Space application: involves application of pesticides in the form of fog or mist using special equipment.
*Individual protection: repellents, bed nets, mosquito coils, screening of houses etc.
1.Anti larval measures
*Larvicides: Oiling the collection of standing water or with paris green.
*Source reduction: drainage or filling, deepening or flushing, management of water level, changing salt content of water.
*Integrated control: Bioenvironmental+ personal protection measure.
*Biological control- use of parvovirus fishes like Gambusia affinis, Leister reticulates.
*Early diagnosis and treatment.
15Spread Of Malaria*by the bite of female anopheles mosquito
*Other less common modes- blood transfusion, organ transplant, congenital malaria, in drug addicts.
*Signs and symptoms- fever with chills, headache, shivering, sweating, malaise and muscle pains.
16TB Mode Of Spread*Mainly from droplet infection and droplet nuclei
*Annually average of 10-15 persons contract the infection from 1 infected person
*World TB Day- 24th march
*Probability of Transmission of M. tuberculosis is determined by immune status of exposed individual.
*Number of bacilli expelled by infected person in the air, proximity frequency and duration of exposure.
*Features associated with increased infectiousness :
1.Cough, lasting longer than 2 weeks.
2.Inadequate treatment (drug, duration).
3.Respiratory tract disease, larynx (highly infectious).
4.Cavitation seen on chest x-ray.
5.M. tuberculosis positive culture.
*Environmental factors to enhance transmission:
1.Small and enclosed spaces.
2.Inadequate ventilation
3.Air recirculation
17Cholera Mode Of Spread*Acute diarrheal disease, kills within hours if untreated
*Transmission via contaminated water and food.
*Cholera outbreak can be seasonal or sporadic.
*Cholera transmits due to inadequate access to clean water and sanitation facilities.
*At risk areas are peri urban slums, refugee camps.
*During disasters and crisis causing disruption of water supply and sanitation system leads to increased transmission of cholera.
*Prevention by surveillance, water and sanitation, hygiene, social mobilization.
*Cholera cases are detected based on clinical suspicion in patients who present with severe acute watery diarrhoea.
*The suspicion is then confirmed by identifying V. cholerae in stool samples from affected patients.
*Test- Rapid diagnostic test.
*It is a notifiable disease.
*Treatment – ORS therapy and antibiotics.
*Both an endemic and epidemic disease.
18Hookworm*Includes Ancyclostoma duodenale and Nector Americanus.
*Soil transmitted helminth (parasitic worm).
*Hookworms live in the small intestine.
*Hookworm eggs are passed in the feces of an infected person.
*When the infected person defecates outside (near bushes, in a garden, or field) or when the feces of an infected person are used as fertilizer, eggs are deposited on soil. They can then mature and hatch, releasing larvae (immature worms).
*Mode of transmission – The larvae mature and penetrate the skin of humans.
*Hookworm infection is mainly acquired by walking barefoot on contaminated soil.
*Symptoms: Mainly gastrointestinal symptoms. The most serious effects of hookworm infection are blood loss leading to anemia, in addition to protein loss.
*Reservoir- man
*Treatment- Albendazole, Mebendazole. + Iron Supplements.
*Diagnosis- by identifying hookworm eggs under microscope.
*Chandler’s index & gt;300 is important public.
19Tracking bag*It is a new innovation in India.
*It is a cloth bag, composed of fourteen pockets.
*It is one simple tool developed for follow up of beneficiaries through the filling of counterfoils from immunization cards.
*Twelve pockets in the bag indicate the months of the year. Counterfoils are filed into the pocket indicating the month when the next vaccine is due.
*The thirteenth pocket is used for counterfoils of beneficiaries who have left the area or died.
*The fourteenth pocket contains counterfoils of fully immunized children.
*Before the session, the health worker prepares a list of beneficiaries due on that day, based on the counterfoils in the pocket for that month. This list is then shared with the AWW or ASHA. As the children come for vaccination, their cards and counterfoils are updated, with the counterfoils moved to the pocket for the month when the next vaccination is due.
*At the end of each month, cars and counterfoils remaining behind represent drop outs to be followed up.

Station 1 Survey methods, sampling design and randomization This model is made up of a number of sampling unit fitted or placed on a fixogram board having a large number of similar sized holes. This wooden board may be considered as sampling frame and the different objects kept n it become sampling units. This board may be taken as a village or a municipal ward or even a region or a country depending upon the need of explaining a number of survey methods, sampling techniques and calculation of probability. Homogenous or a heterogeneous localities or clusters may be demonstrated using this model and actual sampling of HHs may be carried out using random numbers and a specific sampling methods. This board or a sampling frame is so flexibly used that you may create additional land marks or may rapidly change the scenario for a multiphase sampling methods. The 15 filled containers attached to this model are the 15 clusters and these may be made homogenous or heterogeneous by shuffling the contents of these containers. In fact this board may be used for a variety of purposes like organizing vaccination sessions in an effective manner, conducting an active or a passive surveillance for any condition, conducting a case control study and demonstrating the schemes for recruitment of participants for CT or RCT. The same model may be conceptually used for showing a variety of barriers like topographical, geographical, linguistic and ethnic, cast and religious , socio economic and so on. I understand that all of above concepts can be shared virtually on ppt also and may be in a better manner but such a physical model may make teacher self-reliant while conducting such sessions. Similarly it may be a supplementary to the actual visit to the area for actually carrying out the task. I know that it is not easy to do or demonstrate whatever is written above bit this is one way of strengthening skill in epidemiology especially for post graduate education.
