The purpose of this study is to assess the drinking water handling practices at household level and to determine the effect of health education on the drinking water handling. Participants from study villages, mainly homemakers, school children and water tank operators who are willing to participate, will be targeted. Baseline assessment of household practices related to water will be done. Followed by a health education regarding the healthy practices will be given to them. Practice of household water chlorination will be promoted. The healthy behavior will be reinforced through reminders and community activities of self help groups for one year.

Spinal cord trauma and the consequent paraplegia are possibly among the most devastating injuries in soldiers and during spine surgery, and are significant in the medical, social and financial aspects. Limited mobility, the need for assistance in all human activities, shame, and many medical complications related directly to the neural deficits make paraplegia an important target for prevention. Our study will evaluate the efficacy of Minocycline in two different groups: 1. Minimizing the neurological damage among trauma patients. 2. Preventing neurological damage through operation in spinal tumors patients. 2.OBJECTIVES The primary objectives of the trial are to determine: 1. Efficacy of administrating minocycline in minimizing the neurological damage among acute spinal cord injury patients and spinal cord tumors (primary and metastases) patients? 2. Efficacy of administrating minocycline at changing the natural history and rehabilitation of spinal cord trauma patients. 3. Safety of applying minocycline in spinal cord injuries patients and spinal cord tumors?
