Text Classification Using Machine Learning Techniques: A Comparative Study

Text mining is drawing enormous attention in this era as there is a huge amount of text data getting generated and it is required very hardly to manage this data to grasp maximum benefit out of it. Text classification is an essential sub-part of text mining where the related text data is assigned to a particular predefined category. In our study, we discussed different classifier techniques which are popularly used in recent years. There is comparison between different classifiers like SVM, Na�ve Bayes, Neural Networks etc. which is expressed in a tabular form in this paper

Review on Garbha Sanskar and its Role in Mental Development of Children

Garbha sanskar in Ayurveda described as specific conducts which are to be followed by pregnant women to acquire healthy pregnancy and giving birth of a healthy baby. The term Garbha sanskar related with the education of women who has baby in her womb and this conducts contributed towards the success of pregnancy. Traditionally it is believed that the mental and behavioral development of child starts from the intrauterine stage. Therefore it is essential to put maximum effort during this stage to ensure complete physical and mental built up of child. The personality of baby begins to take shape in the womb; moreover the physical and mental constitution of children is greatly affected by the mother's state of mind during pregnancy. The concept of Garbha sanskar helps to keep mother’s mind healthy thereby imparts positive benefits towards the mental development of baby present inside the mother's uterus. Considering these all facts present article summarizes concepts of Garbha Sanskar and its role in the mental development of unborn child

Preparation and evaluation of mucoadhasive microspheres of Propranolol HCl for nasal delivery

In the recent decades, the interest in intranasal route for drug delivery is increased as the nasal mucosa offers numerous benefits such as rapid systemic drug absorption and fast onset of action. Additionally, intranasal absorption avoids the hepatic presystemic metabolism and enhances drug bioavailability in comparison to that obtained after oral administration. Also, it offers patient ease being non invasive, offers favourable tolerability profile and it is also pharmaceutically economic as dont require sterilization. Propranolol HCl is the most commonly used ? blocker drug for the prophylaxis of migraine. The problem with the oral route is low bioavailability (26%) due to pre-systemic metabolism. So, the aim of the work is to formulate and evaluate mucoadhesive microsphere of Propranolol HCl to increase its bioavailability and reduce its dose. Mucoadhesive microspheres increase the residence time of the drug by gel formation mechanism and hence improve bioavailability as compared to powder and liquid formulations. The prepared formulation was evaluated for particle size, shape and morphology, mucoadhesive strength, micrometric properties, in vitro drug diffusion study, entrapment efficiency and stability studies

Pyocolpos in a 4 year old: a rare scenario

Pyocolpos is cystic dilatation of vagina due to accumulation of pus resulting from genital tract obstruction. Hydrocolpos or pyocolpos are usually encountered either in the neonatal period due to stimulation from maternal hormones or at menarche. Their occurrence beyond infancy and before puberty is rare. We report this rare case of pyocolpos in a 4 year old child

Ultrasonographic placental localisation and extent of invasion in scarred versus non-scarred uterus and its correlation with obstetrical outcomes: a prospective study

Background: The site of implantation and resultant location of the placenta within the uterus are likely important determinants of placental blood flow and therefore pregnancy success. Abnormal placental implantation or ‘placental invasion’ is a rare, but potentially life‐threatening, complication in the third stage of labour. Currently massive obstetric haemorrhage remains one of the leading causes of maternal mortality. Methods: 140 antenatal women at ≥34 weeks of gestation were selected, out of which 70 had the history of previous caesarean section and 70 had the history of previous vaginal delivery. Detailed USG was done with special emphasis on edge to os distance (EOD), extent and depth of invasion of placenta. All cases were followed till delivery and their intraoperative assessment done and correlated with sonographic findings and obstetrical outcomes. Results: With increasing number of previous caesarean section, depth and extent of invasion of placenta increases and edge to os distance (EOD) decreases. 8.5% cases with previous 1 caesarean section, 22.22% cases with previous 2 caesarean section and 50% cases with previous >2 caesarean section had some adherence of placenta. Conclusions: Uterine scar increases chances of low implantation of placenta as well as its adherence as compared with unscarred uterus. This risk increases with number of caesarean sections. These high-risk cases of scarred uterus especially those with multiple scars should be subjected to detailed sonographic scan by expert radiologist

A comparative review of intra-operative hemodynamic changes in patients undergoing vaginal surgeries using tumescent anaesthesia vs conventional techniques

Background: The objective was to assess intra-operative hemodynamic changes in patients undergoing vaginal surgeries using tumescent anaesthesia vs conventional techniques.Methods: Study was carried out on 200 patients attending the Obst. & Gynae. Dept. of S.N. Medical College, Agra. According to randomization they were divided into 2 groups: group-a: include 100 patients undergoing vaginal surgery using conventional techniques and group-b: include 100 patients undergoing vaginal surgery using tumescent anaesthesia (25 mol of 2% lignocaine and .5 ml eg. Adrenaline (1:1000 conc.) ease and duration of surgery, blood loss, hemodynamic changes during surgery were recorded and comparison drawn and analysed by statistical analysis.Results: In our study, time required for completion of surgery in group-a was 21-35 min as in group-b it was 36-50 min. More number of cases had blood loss 100 ml (90%0. No significant change in mean blood pressure and heart rate between both groups (p>0.05).Conclusion: Tumescent anaesthesia is on safe approach which reduces time of surgery and blood loss during surgery with no significant changes in haemodynamic variables

STUDIES ON POST-HARVEST DETERIORATION OF WHEAT BY DIFFERENT FUGAL PATHOGENS

ABSTRACT Seed pathogens are known to cause appreciable changes in viability and nutritional value of the crop plants and are quite effective in producing large no of damage to the quantitative and qualitative characters of wheat crop which is an important food crop is attacked by a number of pathogens including a large group of fungal member which often take a heavy toll of the crop and render them diseased. Seeds play a vital role in the transmission of these pathogens. It is now well established that seeds of wheat undergo a deteriorative process because of these seed-borne disease. The whole wheat and the wheat based food source which are an important source of dietary antioxidants and have great food and nutritive are lost due to grain diseased. In the present paper an attempt has been made to study the disease causing agents of this important food crop and methods for the treatment of seeds or to check the development of these pathogens which lead to the loss of seed quality. Its viability and vigour and the dietary antioxidants which are present in this important cereal food
