Effect Of Oestradiol On Mouse Vaginal Epithelium

Oestradiol which induces the proliferation of the vaginal epithelium is used in the oestrogen replacement therapy for menopausal and postmenopausal disorders. The exact onset of induced cell proliferation and recovery to the controlled level has not been reported before. Hence this study was done in ovariectomised mice and the period of cellular response to ethinyl estradiol, a semisynthetic ester (0.025mg/kg) was recorded. The vaginal epithelium was studied for histological changes and incidence of mitotic figures. The onset of proliferation started at 4h after exposure and reached its maximum at 32h and declined gradually thereafter to reach the base level at 60h

Axillary Arch (Of Langer): Incidence, Innervation, Importance

The present study was planned to find out the incidence of accessory muscle arches in the axilla of 68 upper limb (38 right and 30 left) dissections. Langer’s arch was observed in one right limb out of the 68 limbs, total incidence was 1.47%. The arch extended from the latissimus dorsi to the fascia covering the biceps brachii. The incidence is low in South Indian population (Dravidians) compared to the various other populations reported in literature. A branch from the lateral cord of brachial plexus supplied it in contrast with the previous reports. The surgical significance of this muscle is reviewe

Transaction Processing Monitor Support for Scalable Data Warehouses

An often overlooked criteria in a data warehousing implementation plan and in research is the volume of concurrent user requests accessing the system. A transaction processing monitor control can help a data warehouse meet the strict response requirements of these user requests. TP monitors also bring several other characteristics such as heterogeneous database integration support, a path for incremental growth, good performance tuning support, automatic failure recovery, load balancing, and transactional semantics, all of which are assets to a data warehous

NEW PATHWAYS IN CHEMISTRY

Chemistry is a science whose progress is exponential as it touches every aspect of our existence and provides all the things required for life to survive on this planet. Chemistry is rightly called the Science of Life. Chemical processes provide food, clothing, shelter medicines, and energy to sustain life. Feeding the ever-increasing population is a big challenge calling for increased production of crops, minimizing losses during their harvesting and storage and use of new, improved varieties like Genetically modified (GM) food grains and pulses. The use of fertilizers has increased manifold over the years, leading to an increase in the production of food. Clothing is made from plant fibres like cotton and silk. New and better varieties of cotton have been developed. Nylon, produced by the polymer industry is also a critical clothing material in some parts of the world. New materials like composites, fly ash bricks, and polymeric wastes are being increasingly used for construction purposes, especially for housing and roads.  Research for the synthesis of new drugs to combat diseases is a continuous activity, and the pharmaceutical industry has a considerable investment, especially in our country. Indigenous medicine systems like Ayurveda, Homoeopathy and Unani are also contributing to health welfare, especially in India. Of late, nanomedicines are emerging as an essential area of medicine. Non-conventional energy sources like solar, nuclear, hydro, biodiesel and wind energy are being increasingly tapped as possible substitutes for the fast depleting coal and oil reserves. The International Solar Alliance, initiated by India, aims at forging a strong partnership between all nations to tap and use solar energy

Study on the correlation between Vitamin D and HbA1c in type 2 diabetes mellitus

Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) is associated with increased morbidity and mortality due to the development of complications, especially due to poor glycemic control. Besides its role in calcium homeostasis, Vitamin D has been involved in the pathophysiology as well as glycemic control of type 2 DM. Methods: 100 patients diagnosed with type 2 DM were included. Vitamin D levels along with glycosylated haemoglobin were measured in all the individuals. Results: Vitamin D deficiency was observed in 48% of the patients. Vitamin D levels were not associated with markers of glycemic control (HbA1c). Conclusions: Hypovitaminosis D was observed nearly in half of the patients with type 2 diabetes, suggesting a potential for vitamin D supplementation in type 2 DM patients

Study on Association between BMI and Vitamin D Levels in South Indian Rural Population

Introduction: Vitamin D deficiency is a global health problem worldwide and is considered to be a pandemic with implications for compromised bone health and other chronic diseases. A few studies have examined the association between vitamin D status and body mass index (BMI). However, prospective data using the biomarker serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D 25(OH) D3 are limited and therefore examined in the present study. This study aims to evaluate the level of vitamin D status among healthy individuals and also to examine the relation between BMI and 25(OH)D in a cross-sectional sample of 100 men and women ranging in age from 18-75 years. Methods: Participants were selected from subjects attending to Medicine Outpatient Department (OPD) in Sri Venkateshwara Medical College Hospital & Research Centre (SVMCH & RC) willing to participate in the present study between Jan 2020 to Dec 2020. Anthropometric measurements, personal, medical history questionnaire, food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) for vitamin D, and sun exposure questionnaire were collected from all the participants in the present study, blood samples for serum 25(OH)D3 were collected from all subjects. Results: Our study showed that the majority of healthy individual cases of the study i.e., 68.0% have a deficiency in vitamin D status, while 68.0% have ≤20 ng/dl in vitamin D, and 32.0% in >20 ng/dl. Moreover, the study showed a negative association between the level of circulating 25(OH) D3 and BMI. There is a statistically significant and inverse correlation between the level of circulating 25(OH) D3 and BMI. Conclusion: This study demonstrated that the association between BMI and 25(OH)D concentrations in populations from south India can be seen across different age groups and in both men and women. The study also exemplified that higher BMI leads to lower vitamin D status, providing evidence for the role of obesity as a causal risk factor for the development of vitamin D deficiency

A study of the combined effect of Nasya Karma and Yoga techniques in Manyasthambha w.s.r. to Cervical Spondylosis

In today’s modern competitive world, people are oriented towards white collar jobs, use of computer and thus prone more to develop Manyasthambha which is an emerging morbidity in society. Manyasthambha is one of the Vataja Nanatmaja Vyadhi with symptoms such as pain and stiffness is pacified through Vata Kapha management. It can be correlated to cervical spondylosis which is commonly seen in middle and elderly population. About 85% of males and 60-70% of the females shows degenerative changes leading to cervical spondylosis. Anti inflammatory, Analgesic is the drugs of choice in contemporary system of medicine. But all the analgesic is liable to cause many side effects particularly by repeated and prolonged usage. Ayurveda the age-old Indian system of medicine advocates a reliable management of Manyasthambha. Nasya is believed to have a note worthy role in relieving pain and stiffness within the cardinal feature of Manyasthambha. Yogasanas also help in relieving neck pain and stiffness around spine and strengthens, increases flexibility of the spine and para-spinal muscles. It increases blood circulation and reduces compression in nerve. Therefore, this study has been undertaken as an attempt to help the patients suffering from Manyasthambha in our society and also to evaluate the efficacy of these treatment modalities

Conceptual Study on Prameha Pidakas w.s.r. to Skin Lesions In Diabetes

Diabetes is a disease known for its multifaceted complications. Diabetic ulcer is one of the major complications of diabetes. Diabetes affects more than 8% of Indian adult population. Up to 25% of diabetic patients develop foot ulcers. More than half of foot ulcers become infected and require hospitalisation and 20% of infections results in amputation. Early effective management can reduce the severity of complications such as preventable amputations and possible mortality and can also improve overall quality of life. Thousands of researches are being carried out on this in which Ayurveda has a major role. Different numbers of Prameha Pidakas are mentioned in Ayurvedic Classics. According to Sushruta there are 10 different types of Prameha Pidakas. Diagnostic pictures of these 10 are presented here w.s.r. to diabetic skin lesions with the brief treatment aspect. This article gives the obvious view for the diagnosis and treatment modalities of Prameha Pidaka
