To Compare the Perspectives of Teacher Educators and Pupil Teachers for Infrastructure in Teacher’s Training Colleges

Teachers keep the foundation stone of formal learning. This learning should be built up with planning and affection. A great deal of thoughts of teachers is required in a friendly environment. For this, we need well trained teachers. In ITEP, Teacher education colleges are given comprehensive guidelines for infrastructure improvement. Good infrastructure will definitely improve the level of teacher education. A researcher conducted an online survey for a sample of teachers and students. The purpose of this study is to compare the perspectives of the respondents regarding teacher training infrastructure. This study also points out the importance of various features of the teacher training infrastructure from the point of view of the respondents and encourages the respondents to express their opinion on better use of the infrastructure

Recent advances in Raktamokshana w.s.r. to modification in Shastra used for Raktamokshana

Raktamokshana in other words, bloodletting is a kind of Para surgery directed for the treatment of specifically Raktaja roga. It is considered as the important and prime process of blood detoxification. It is derived from two words ie; Rakt which means blood & Mokshana which means leave. So the meaning of Raktamokshana is to let the blood out. The blood is expelled out from the body to reduce the toxic substances and this process helps in Raktaja vikara. The process of Raktamokshana can be traced back to the Vedic period only and not beyond that. Sushruta, father of Indian surgery, has given all the information regarding bloodletting in detail in his treatise, "Sushruta Samhita". Sira Vedhan, Sringa Avacharana, Alabu Aavacharana, Jalauka Avacharana, Pracchanna Karma, Ghati Yantra Avacharana and Suchi Avacharana are approaches utilized for blood detoxification. Bloodletting as a method of treatment is indicated in gouty arthritis, filariasis, herpes, tumors, various skin disorders, genital infections, abscess, inflammatory condition, cellulitis, painful ulcers, chronic ulcers resulting from snake bite, etc

Preclinical valuation of anti-hyperglycemic and antioxidant action of Nirmali (Strychnos potatorum) seeds in streptozotocin-nicotinamide-induced diabetic Wistar rats: A histopathological investigation

AbstractThis study aimed to evaluate the antidiabetic activity of Strychnos potatorum seeds in streptozotocin-nicotinamide–induced diabetes in experimental animals. Noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) was induced in overnight fasted rats by an intraperitoneal injection (i.p.) of 60 mg/kg streptozotocin (STZ) and, after a 15-minute interval, 120 mg/kg of nicotinamide. S. potatorum extract 200 mg/kg or 400 mg/kg body weight was administered orally to the rats once daily for 21 days. The blood glucose level was assessed by a glucometer. The serum levels of cholesterol, triglycerides, and total lipid were determined by using diagnostic kits. Measurement of catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione–S-transferase (GST), reduced glutathione (GSH), and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) were determined to ascertain the antioxidant activity. A significant reduction in the blood glucose level was observed in diabetic animals treated with the different doses of the extract, compared to untreated diabetic rats. The treatment with the extract significantly increased the levels of GSH, GPx, GST, CAT, and SOD in the drug-treated group to levels comparable to the levels in the diabetic control group. The result of this study thus shows that 50% of the ethanolic extract at different doses possesses significant antidiabetic activity and potent antioxidant potential in diabetic conditions

People’s Perception about Gender Equity at RHTC, Naila, Jaipur

Gender equality refers to the equal rights, responsibilities, and opportunities of women and men, as well as girls and boys (United Nations Women, 2012). Women in India have suffered gender disparities since ages; although addressed at all fronts (social, political) for last few decades yet we can find scars here and there in the form of gender violence, honor-killing, rape, and social policing. Changes toward equitable gender roles and relations in the community as well as household are a prerequisite to gender equality Promotion of gender equality and empowering of women is one of the eight Millennium Development Goals (MDG) to which India is a signatory. Gender equality and women‘s empowerment are two sides of the same coin: progress toward gender equality requires women‘s empowerment and women‘s empowerment requires increases in gender equality evident by pairing of them in MDG

To study the role of epidural analgesia in anaemic parturients

Background: To study the safety of epidural analgesia, effect on cardiotocographic parameters, fetal outcome and obstetric outcome of epidural analgesia in anaemic parturients and maternal satisfaction as well as pain relief among antenatal cases admitted in Upper India Sugar Exchange, GSVM Medical College, Kanpur, UP, India.Methods: This prospective study was conducted in anaemic parturients with cephalic presentation, singleton pregnancy having 36-42 weeks of gestation. Subjects of present study were divided into 2 groups. Control group included anaemic parturients not undergoing epidural analgesia. Study group included anaemic parturients who will be undergoing epidural analgesia. All these patients were followed up to delivery. When cervix was 3cm dilated, NST was taken 15minutes before analgesia and every 30 minutes after analgesia. Top up dose (0.0625% bupivacaine) was injected through catheter on parturients demand. For effect on CTG parameters, NST was taken 15minutes before analgesia and every 30 minutes after analgesia. Following every top up dose 10 minute monitoring for uterine contractions and effect for adequate analgesia was noted. Side effects and complaints noted at 5, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, 120, 150 and 180 min interval. Fetal condition was also monitored and evidence of fetal distress, on clinical and/or cardiotocographic monitoring, was recorded. Patients walking duration was recorded in relation to study time from epidural insertion to delivery time. Labour was managed and mode of delivery and time of delivery was noted. Assessment of neonatal outcome was done with the help of Apgar scoring at 1 and 5minute after delivery and NICU admissions.Results: Maximum numbers of patients are lying between age groups of 18-23 and 24-29 years and are of gestational age group 37-40 weeks in both study and control group. The duration of 1st stage of labour in maximum number of primigravida patients is 5-8 hours and in multigravida it was 2-4 hours in both epidural and control group. The visual analogue scale is according to pain perceived during the course of labour and delivery by the epidural and control group. The degree of pain relief is statistically highly significant between epidural and control groups. Occurrences of maternal tachycardia are 5 times more in cases in whom epidural analgesia was not given.Conclusions: There is no statistically significant difference in the duration of 2nd stage of labour in both the groups of primigravida as well as there is no effect on the duration of second stage of labour in multigravida parturients in both the groups. Pain relief was more in the epidural group and was more satisfied after their delivery. There was no difference in effect on fetal outcome in epidural and control groups. There was no significant effect on cardiotocographic parameters except for the fact that for about 30 minutes post epidural top-up, there was fetal bradycardia which easily subsided with conservative management with left lateral position and oxygen. Maternal tachycardia was less in epidural group. This was highly significant because anaemic parturients are more prone to develop signs of cardiac failure during labour due to increase in stroke volume due to increase in heart rate due to pain
