Abstract
Objectives: To determine the Qol of patient who had undergone H&NCa surgery and to find out the association between Qol after H&NCa surgery and selected variables. Method: Descriptive survey design. Results: Low Qol was observed in 45% subjects. Significant association was found between QoL with many symptoms.

Abstract
Objectives- To assess the lipid and lipoprotein abnormalities, oxidative stress, the effect of antioxidant defences to protect the beta cells from glucotoxicity and also to assess the uptake of cholesterol avidly by the normal lymphocyte cells, diabetic and diabetic with Ischemic heart diseases(IHD) cells. Method-: 60 clinically diagnosed cases of type 2 diabetes mellitus with the age range 30-75 years were included in the study group. Out of which 30 diabetic patients with good glycemic control were included under Group I with age and sex matched healthy individuals served as controls and 30 diabetic patients with/without complications were included under Group II & III. Results: The fasting blood glucose were significantlyhigher in (p<.001) when compared with controls and parallel increase is seen in HbAlC in group I/&III. Similar trend is observed in triglycerides and free fatty acids. Lipid peroxidation levels increases nearly five fold in diabetic patients with/HD. SOD, CAT activities are low while GPx level is raised with increased DNA strand breakage in group II. Conclusion- In conclusion, with progression of diabetes, i.e development of complications shows increase in fa sting blood glucose, cholesterol distribution in lipoprotein, lipid per oxidation and role of antioxidants.

Zika virus is an emerging mosquito-borne virus. It is transmitted to people through the bite of an infected mosquito. Zika virus diagnosis can only be confirmed by laboratory testing for the presence of Zika virus RNA. Pregnancy affected with Zika virus can infectthe fetus results in birth defect, as well as other neurological disorders. Mosquitoes and their breeding sites pose a significant risk factor for Zika virus infection.1 Prevention and control relies on reducing mosquitoes through source reduction and contact between mosquitoes and people.
