CHANDIGARH: Haryana chief minister Manohar Lal Khattar said on Friday that Auto Appeal Software (AAS) is playing a pivotal role in the timely delivery of services to the citizens. Since its launch on September 1, 2021, this system has not only brought radical changes in the age-old manual system of the government functioning but has also ensured transparency and accountability of the officers.Khattar shared this while interacting directly with the beneficiaries of Auto Appeal Software (AAS) through audio conferencing here.He said that the revolutionary changes brought by the present state government have certainly given a big sigh of relief to the common man not only in terms of getting their work done in a time bound manner but also saving their time to make rounds of the government offices.The chief minister informed that presently 384 services of 33 departments have been on boarded on AAS. For this, the officers of the Right to Service Commission deserve appreciation.He said that due to the implementation of AAS, an automatic appeal is made on behalf of the citizen to the First Grievance Redressal Authority if the service is not provided on time. If the First Grievance Redressal Authority does not dispose of the appeal within 30 working days, the appeal automatically goes to the Second Grievance Redressal Authority. Similarly, if the appeal is not disposed of within 30 working days, the appeal automatically is forwarded to the Right to Service Commission, shared Khattar.The Chief Minister said that regular monitoring of the AAS software is done by the Right to Service Commission. A total of 6,54,799 appeals have been filed under AAS from September 5, 2021, to March 17, 2023. Out of these, 6,10,145 appeals have been disposed of, informed Khatta

Candida auris (C. auris), an emerging fungus considered an urgent antimicrobial resistance (AR) threat, spread at an alarming rate in U.S. healthcare facilities in 2020-2021, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) published in the Annals of Internal Medicine. Equally concerning was a tripling in 2021 of the number of cases that were resistant to echinocandins, the antifungal medicine most recommended for treatment of C. auris infections. In general, C. auris is not a threat to healthy people.People who are very sick, have invasive medical devices, or have long or frequent stays in healthcare facilities are at increased risk for acquiring C. auris. CDC has deemed C. auris as an urgent AR threat, because it is often resistant to multiple antifungal drugs, spreads easily in healthcare facilities, and can cause severe infections with high death rates.

The rapid rise and geographic spread of cases is concerning and emphasizes the need for continued surveillance, expanded lab capacity, quicker diagnostic tests, and adherence to proven infection prevention and control, said CDC epidemiologist Dr. Meghan Lyman, lead author of the paper.

As further explained in the article, C. auris has spread in the United States since it was first reported in 2016, with a total of 3,270 clinical cases (in which infection is present) and 7,413 screening cases (in which the fungus is detected but not causing infection) reported through December 31, 2021. Clinical cases have increased each year since 2016, with the most rapid rise occurring during 2020-2021. CDC has continued to see an increase in case counts for 2022. During 2019-2021, 17 states identified their first C. auris case ever. Nationwide, clinical cases rose from 476 in 2019 to 1,471 in 2021. Screening cases tripled from 2020 to 2021, for a total of 4,041. Screening is important to prevent spread by identifying patients carrying the fungus so that infection prevention controls can be used.

C. auris case counts have increased for many reasons, including poor general infection prevention and control (IPC) practices in healthcare facilities. Case counts may also have increased because of enhanced efforts to detect cases, including increased colonization screening, a test to see if someone has the fungus somewhere on their body but does not have an infection or symptoms of infection. The timing of this increase and findings from public health investigations suggest C. auris spread may have worsened due to strain on healthcare and public health systems during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The CDCs Antimicrobial Resistance Laboratory Network, which provides nationwide lab capacity to rapidly detect antimicrobial resistance and inform local responses to prevent spread and protect people, provided some of the data for this report. CDC worked to significantly strengthen laboratory capacity, including in state, territorial, and local health departments, through supplemental funding supported by the American Rescue Plan Act. These efforts include increasing susceptibility testing capacity for C. auris from seven Regional Labs to more than 26 labs nationwide.

CDC continues to work with state, local, and territorial health departments and other partners to address this emerging threat to public health. Review more informationon C. auris, the Antimicrobial Resistance Threats Reportthat identified C. auris as an urgent threat in the United States, or the WHO fungal priority pathogen list that identifies C. auris as a priority globally.

(WOODLAWN, MD) Maryland State Police identify the six highway workers involved in the fatal pedestrian crash on Interstate 695 yesterday.

Emergency medical personnel from the Baltimore County Fire Department pronounced six contractual highway workers deceased on the scene. The victims are identified as:

Rolando Ruiz, 46, of Laurel

Carlos Orlando Villatoro Escobar, 43, of Frederick

Jose Armando Escobar, 52, of Frederick

Mahlon Simmons III, 31, of Union Bridge

Mahlon Simmons II, 52, of Union Bridge

Sybil Lee Dimaggio, 46, of Glen Burnie

Lisa Adrienne Lea, 54, of Randallstown remains at Shock Trauma where she is currently receiving medical treatment. Lea was the driver and sole occupant of a 2017 Acura TLX involved in the crash.

Melachi Brown, 20, of Windsor Mill was uninjured in the crash. He was the driver of a 2017 Volkswagen, the second vehicle involved in the crash. Brown stopped his vehicle north of the scene on I-695 where his vehicle became disabled.

The preliminary investigation indicates the driver of the Acura, later identified as Lea, was traveling in lane 2 at about 12:40 p.m. yesterday when she attempted to change lanes. As Lea attempted to move into lane 1, police believe her vehicle struck the front corner panel on the passenger side of the Volkswagen. Crash Team investigators believe this caused the Acura to lose control and subsequently travel through the barrier opening into the work zone and overturned. The construction workers were working in an active work zone on the left shoulder of the inner loop of I-695 in Baltimore County when the incident occurred.

Maryland State Police from the Golden Ring Barrack and the Traffic Incident Management Section responded to the scene. Officers from the Baltimore County Police Department also responded to assist. Investigators from the Maryland Department of Transportation Occupational Safety Office, Maryland Department of Labor Occupational Safety and Health and the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) are working in coordination with the Maryland State Police Crash Team.

Once the investigation is complete, the Crash Team will submit its findings to the Baltimore County States Attorneys Office for review to determine whether charges will be filed.

Anyone with information relevant to the crash is asked to call the Maryland State Police Golden Ring Barrack at 410-780-2700. The crash remains under investigation.
