Introduction: The Sacro-coccygeal teratoma is rare tumour that appears near the distal end of the tailbone in new-borns (coccyx). It's the most common congenital tumour, and it can appear at any time throughout pregnancy. It occurs in about 1/35000 to 1/40000 of all live births. Female new-borns are more likely to have this birth defect than male ones. Sacro-coccygeal teratoma can cause critical disturbance in defecation function of infant although this disease is extremely rare benign tumour. Appropriate early recognition can prevent progression to this devastating outcome. In this case report, we present a Sacro-coccygeal teratoma originating from gluteal region. The case is used to highlight important nursing management, clinical consideration and how to prevent further complications. We describe a Case of Sacro-coccygeal teratoma in 5 year girl child presenting with increased gluteal swelling of 15 days duration. In addition she had difficulty in passing stool and urine and also difficulty in sitting.

“…[94] The CO, PM 2.5 (mass), PM2.5 (number), PM 10 (mass), and PM 10 (number) emission factors developed over here were varying in the range of 110-120 mg g −1 of incense, 2.5-3 mg g −1 of incense, 800-1100 #particle/μg of incense, 32-33 mg g −1 of incense, 1200-1400 particle/μg of incense respectively. [18,26,[95][96][97][98] A team led by Bala highlighted the effect of PMs under closed and open ventilation conditions where the investigators found a higher percentage (8-10 times) of PM 10 in the closed-ventilated conditions during the burning of incense. [99] A team led by Gupta also performed similar activities where the investigators tried to eliminate the PMs and other components from an open and closed system by using an indigenous air purifier.…”

“…[24,25] The Indian incense sticks use coal powder and wood chips as the burning agent which have traces of toxic heavy metals (Cd, Cu, Cr, Co, Pb, Ni, Zn, Mo, Sr, Hg, and As), which could act as a significant threat to the environment and living beings. [9,[24][25][26][27][28][29] In the present review, the investigators have emphasized the various types of air pollution and their potential threat to the environment and living beings. Investigators have further emphasized household air pollution as a major cause of respiratory tract infections among human beings.…”

The drastic increase in industrialization has led to numerous adverse effects on the environment and human health. Respiratory tract disorders are one of the major emerging global health issues that lead to a high mortality rate every year. The quality of indoor and outdoor air has lowered in the last decade.The quality of indoor air has deteriorated by cooking, smoking, and burning incense sticks or smoke. The smoke released from incense and incense sticks contains gaseous products (carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, and oxide of sulfur), particular matter (PM10, PM2.5), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). These toxic components released from various incense sources pose a significant risk to human health and the environment. The inhalation and exposure of smoke from various incenses is hazardous to health as it inevitably culminates in deadly organ‐related diseases. With such insights, the present review article focuses on the characteristic attributes of particulate matter released from incense and other sources emphasizing healthcare and environmental concerns.

Objectives The congenital embryonic tumor known as sacrococcygeal teratoma (SCT) affects 1 in 35.000–40.000 newborns and is more prevalent in female fetuses and neonates. A total of 25–50% of SCTs are diagnosed by an ultrasound (US) examination during the second trimester of pregnancy. Planning the manner of delivery, determining the risk of negative outcomes, and choosing treatment options depend on the results of antenatal differential diagnosis. Case presentation This is a unique case of a 29-year-old second gravida, suspected of having a fetal sacrococcygeal dysplasia differentiable between Type 2 SCT and terminal myelocystocele. An MRI revealed no typical SCT changes, as a matter of course, the diagnosis of myelocystocele could not have been excluded. The results of the genetic examination allowed to exclude the chromosomal pathology. Punctuation of the external component of the formation and a cytological examination were suggested. Nevertheless, the patient and her partner refused further studies and insisted on the termination of pregnancy. Medical abortion was induced and histological findings confirmed fetal morphology to be mature SCT. Conclusions Cystic sacrococcygeal teratoma is an unusual malformation of fetal development. In the antenatal period SCT is diagnosed based upon an ultrasound evaluation, an MRI, and a multidisciplinary assessment of clinical experts. Differential diagnosis based upon clinical imaging during the gestational period is elaborate. The final medical diagnosis needs to be verified by a histological evaluation of pathological tissue. An antenatal medical diagnosis of fetal dysplasia is considerable for the further prognosis of fetal and newborn development.
