Evaluation of efficacy and safety profile of tamsulosin in benign prostatic hyperplasia

Background: To evaluate the efficacy and safety profile of alpha-1A receptor subtype specific antagonist-tamsulosin in benign prostatic hyperplasia.Methods: An open label, non-randomised, prospective, single centred study who were visiting urology department with confirmed diagnosis of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) were included in the study. Thirty patients with BPH were prescribed tamsulosin and were followed up to three months. The initial or baseline data collected were identification of the patients such as international prostate symptom score (IPSS), prostate specific antigen, urine analysis, and ultrasonography of prostate including post void residual urine. The patients were followed up to 3 months to measure clinical and laboratory outcomes (IPSS score, post void residual urine, uroflow rates etc.).Results: In our study, patients receiving tamsulosin 0.4 mg once daily showed a significant improvement in post-void residual urine (PVRU), uroflow rates and IPSS score. The improvements in the above parameters were found to be statistically insignificant at first and third month of follow-up.Conclusions: In our study, tamsulosin an alpha-1A receptor subtype specific antagonist showed significant improvement in BPH symptoms and the drug was well tolerated

Effect of Implantation Temperature on the Layer Exfoliation of H-implanted Germanium

This work describes the influence of implantation temperature on the layer exfoliation of the H-implanted Ge substrate. For the implantation at RT, post-implantation annealing showed large exfoliated regions over the sample surface. Two depths of the exfoliated regions were observed with average values of about 654 and 856 nm from the top of the H-implanted surface. In the H-implanted Ge at 300 °C, exfoliation occurred in the as-implanted state in the form of surface craters. The average depth of these craters was measured to be about 890 nm from the surface. Simulation results showed that the depth of the exfoliated regions was either located near to the damage peak or away from the H-peak depending upon the implantation temperature.

URL ATTACKS: Classification of URLs via Analysis and Learning

Social Networks such as Twitter, Facebook play a remarkable growth in recent years. The ratio of tweets or messages in the form of URLs increases day by day. As the number of URL increases, the probability of fabrication also gets increased using their HTML content as well as by the usage of tiny URLs. It is important to classify the URLs by means of some modern techniques. Conditional redirection method is used here by which the URLs get classified and also the target page that the user needs is achieved. Learning methods also introduced to differentiate the URLs and there by the fabrication is not possible. Also the classifiers will efficiently detect the suspicious URLs using link analysis algorithm

IOT BASED ALCOHOL DETECTION FOR INDUSTRY WORKERS

Nowadays there are so many accidents happening in the industries (Mechanical, chemical) due to the workers who consume alcohol during their work period. In order to prevent and reduce the rate of accidents happening in the industry, there are few preventive measures which has been evolved. Now we use new methods and technology for detecting the alcohol consumption of the worker. For this we use alcohol sensor which is placed along with the biometric attendance system. The workers have to pass the alcohol detection test then only they can able to proceed for their biometric attendance. If the worker does not pass the alcohol detection test then that worker would not be able to register for the biometric attendance system. This alcohol detection system is kept in a room that capable of detecting only one person at a time

Performance of sustainable lightweight foam concrete with synthetic micro and macro fibers as reinforcement

In the current research, lightweight foam concrete blocks made from recycled concrete powder, reinforced with plastic macro fibers and polypropylene micro fibers have been proposed as sustainable concrete approach. By adding Recycled Concrete Powder (RCP) in the amount ranging from 15 to 30% by weight of cement, have only a mild impact on the strength properties of foam concrete. Addition of mono fibers and hybrid fibers improves the mechanical properties of foam concrete with RCP. The tensile strength, flexural strength and compressive strengths of concrete are enhanced by the addition of micro and macro fibres. As the percentage of macro fiber increases the strength of the light weight concrete also increases. when the proportion of micro fibers is more compared to macro fibers, the strength properties are slightly reducing as the micro fibers reduces the plasticity of foam mix. In hybrid fiber reinforcement 0.3% plastic and 0.2% polypropylene showed an improvement in mechanical properties compared to other specimens.

NOTATIONAL ANALYSIS OF PLAYING ABILITY ON MEN HANDBALL TEAMS

The purpose of the study was to assess the playing ability by notational analysis system for men handball players. To achieve the purpose of the study the four teams those who participated in the Madurai Kamaraj University Inter-Collegiate Handball Tournament 2017-18 for men were selected. The teams were SVN College, American College, Arul Anandar College and Madurai Kamaraj University, Madurai. The age of the men handball players ranged from 18 to 24 years. The following match analysing factors which are expected to give the complete performance of the team & individual five factors were finalized. A panel of experts consisting of coaches, players and experts as well as fellow researchers aided in the development and ranking of performance scores for the effects of each skill as it is performed during the game. Each attempt was noted according to whether the attempt was off-target, on-target, or resulted in a goal. The pass was evaluated according to the result, such as if the other team intercepted the pass or it resulted in a scoring opportunity. Cards received by the players, penalty shoot were carefully noted. The data was collected during the real time match. The collected data were analysed statistically using mean and standard deviation. The outcome of the study might act as a tool to analyse the team & individual performance in the game of Handball

EVALUATION OF GLYCOSYLATED HEMOGLOBIN AND ELECTROLYTE STATUS IN DIABETIC KETOACIDOSIS

Background: The present study was conducted to evaluate glycosylated hemoglobin and electrolyte status in Diabetic ketoacidosis subjects compared with controlled type II diabetes mellitus. Methods: Totally 100 subjects were included in this study (75 known DKA subjects and 25 controlled type II Diabetes Mellitus subjects). 5ml of venous blood samples are collected from subjects, Biochemical parameters performed Fasting blood sugar, Post prandial blood sugar by Glucose oxidase and peroxidase method, Glycosylated hemoglobin by Ion exchange High performance liquid chromatography, serum electrolytes levels are estimated by Ion selective electrode method. Results: The serum levels of FBS, PPBS, HbA1c levels are high in DKA compared with controlled Type II DM. the serum levels of sodium are significantly decreased in DKA compared with controlled Type II DM. The serum levels of potassium and chloride are high in DKA compared with controlled Type II DM. Conclusion: We concluded that electrolyte imbalance is high in DKA due to hyperglycemic hyper-osmolality and insulin deficiency frequently leads to electrolyte imbalance. HbA1c, FBS, PPBS levels are elevated in DKA due to uncontrolled hyperglycemia.KEYWORDS: Peroxidase method; Fasting blood sugar; HbA1c; Glycosylated hemoglobin
