Uturuncu Volcano, recently seen in the news, is located in which country?
Correct
Answer: d
Explanation:
A team recently mapped the inside of Bolivia’s Uturuncu volcano and found that its strange surface motions come from hot fluids and gases moving below the crater, not rising magma ready to erupt.
About Uturuncu Volcano:
It is a large dormant volcano located in southwestern Bolivia, within the Andes Mountains.
It is a stratovolcano dominated by dacitic lava domes and flows.
Elevation: About 6,008 meters (19,711 feet) above sea level — it is the tallest mountain in the southern part of Bolivia.
Uturuncu last erupted 250,000 years ago, yet is seismically active and lies at the centre of a 70 km diameter uplifted region.
Beneath Uturuncu at a depth of about 10 to 20 kilometers lies a vast reservoir of magma called the Altiplano-Puna Magma Body.
Spanning roughly 200 kilometers, it is the biggest known active magma body in the planet’s crust.
The volcano displays a distinct “sombrero” shape, with the center rising and the surrounding areas sinking.
Uturuncu is known as a “zombie” volcano because of its ongoing but non-eruptive activity.
The “zombie”-like unrest of Uturuncu is due to the movement of liquid and gas beneath the crater, with a low likelihood of an imminent eruption.
The volcano currently experiences hundreds of small earthquakes per year.

The Strait of Hormuz lies between Iran and which region/countries on the opposite side??
Correct
Answer: b
Explanation:
Iran seized a Marshall Islands-flagged oil tanker as it travelled through the narrow Strait of Hormuz recently, turning the ship into Iranian territorial waters in the first such interdiction in months in the strategic waterway.
About Strait of Hormuz:
It is a narrow waterway between Iran and the Arabian Peninsula, specifically the United Arab Emirates, and Musandam (Oman).
The Gulf of Oman is on the strait’s east, while the Persian Gulf is on the west.
It is the only sea channel linking the oil-rich Persian Gulf (west) with the Gulf of Oman and the Arabian Sea (southeast).
Iran is located on the north coast, while the UAE is on the south coast.
The strait is 167 kilometers long.
At its narrowest point, the Strait of Hormuz is only 29 nautical miles wide (54 km).
The strait consists of 2-mile-wide navigable channels (3 km) for inbound and outbound shipping as well as a 2-mile-wide buffer zone.
Some of the islands located in the Strait of Hormuz are Hengam, Hormuz, and Qishm.
The Strait of Hormuz is considered one of the world’s most economically important choke points.
About 30% of the world’s liquefied gas and 25% of oil pass through the Strait of Hormuz.

Katarniaghat Wildlife Sanctuary lies in which state?
Correct
Answer: d
Explanation:
A 55-year-old farmer was mauled to death by a leopard in a field adjoining a forest area here under the Kakraha Range of the Katarniaghat Wildlife Sanctuary recently.
About Katarniaghat Wildlife Sanctuary:
It is situated in the Upper Gangetic plain, falling in the Terai of the Bahraich district of Uttar Pradesh.
In 1987, it was brought under the purview of the ‘Project Tiger’, and together with the Kishanpur Wildlife Sanctuary and the Dudhwa National Park, it forms the Dudhwa Tiger Reserve.
The total area of the sanctuary is 400.09 sq.km.
Sharing an international border with Nepal, this sanctuary was established to protect its Gharial (Gavialis gangeticus) population.
It provides strategic connectivity between the tiger habitats of Dudhwa and Kishanpur in India and the Bardia National Park in Nepal.
Vegetation: Katarniyaghat’s vegetation consists of grasslands, mixed deciduous forests, and moist deciduous forests with sal trees.
Flora: It is predominantly Sal Forest with its associate tree species like Terminalia alata (Asna), Lagerstroemia parviflora (Asidha), Adina cordifonia (Haldu), Mitragyna parpiflora (Faldu), Gamelina arborea (Gahmhar), etc.
Fauna:
It is home to a number of endangered species, including the gharial, tiger, rhino, Gangetic dolphin, Swamp deer, Hispid hare, Bengal florican, the White-backed and Long-billed vultures.
The Gairwa River, which flows in the KWS area, is declared a sanctuary for Mugger and Gharial. It is also home to rare turtles, freshwater fish, and a host of aquatic life.
It is among the few places in India where freshwater dolphins, also known as Gangetic dolphins, are found in their natural habitat.

Consider the following statements regarding Sickle Cell Disease (SCD):
It is a group of inherited blood cell disorders that affect white blood cells.
There are currently no treatment options for SCD.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Correct
Answer: d
Explanation:
A decade-long study by a Gurugram hospital has found success in curing Sickle Cell Disease among children through bone marrow (stem cell) transplantation, placing India among the leading nations in advanced paediatric transplant outcomes.
About Sickle Cell Disease (SCD):
It is a group of inherited blood cell disorders that affect hemoglobin, the protein that carries oxygen through the body.
SCD can cause episodes of severe pain and lead to life-threatening complications.
The most common and severe type of SCD is sickle cell anemia.
How Does it Affect Blood Flow?
Normally, RBCs are disc-shaped and flexible enough to move easily through the blood vessels.
People with SCD have atypical hemoglobin molecules called hemoglobin S, which can distort RBCs into a sickle, or crescent, shap
When RBCs sickle, they do not bend or move easily and can block blood flow to the rest of the body.
SCD interferes with the delivery of oxygen to the tissues.
What causes it?
The cause of SCD is a defective gene, called a sickle cell gene.
A person will be born with SCD only if two genes are inherited—one from the mother and one from the father.
Symptoms:
Early stage: Extreme tiredness or fussiness from anemia, painfully swollen hands and feet, and jaundice.
Later stage: Severe pain, anemia, organ damage, and infections.
Treatments:
A bone marrow transplant (stem cell transplant) can cure SCD.
However, there are treatments that can help relieve symptoms, lessen complications, and prolong life.
Gene therapy is also being explored as another potential cure.
The UK recently became the first country to approve gene therapy treatment for SCD.

Consider the following statements regarding Hepatitis A:
It is transmitted through the faecal-oral route and physical contact with an infectious person.
It is a fungus infection which causes inflammation of the liver.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Correct
Answer: a
Explanation:
Recently, public health experts opined that Hepatitis A deserves a place in India’s universal immunisation programme due to its multiple outbreaks across many states in India.
Hepatitis A is an inflammation of the liver caused by the hepatitis A virus (HAV).
It occurs throughout the world.
It is especially common in countries in Latin America, Africa, the Middle East, Asia, the Caribbean, and the Western Pacific.
Unlike hepatitis B and C, hepatitis A does not cause chronic liver disease but it can cause mild to severe symptoms and rarely fulminant hepatitis (acute liver failure).
Transmission of Hepatitis A
It is transmitted primarily by the faecal-oral route; that is when an uninfected person ingests food or water that has been contaminated with the faeces of an infected person.
The virus can also be transmitted through close physical contact with an infectious person.
Symptoms: It includes fever, malaise, loss of appetite, Nausea, diarrhoea, abdominal discomfort, Dark urine and jaundice.
Treatment for Hepatitis A:
There is no specific antiviral treatment for hepatitis A.
Its treatment mainly focuses on supportive care to relieve symptoms and ensure adequate hydration and nutrition.
