Analysis of Web Log from Database System utilizing E-web Miner Algorithm

Enormous content of information on the World Wide Web makes it clear for contender for data mining research. Data Mining Technique application is used to the World Wide Web referred as Web mining where this term has been used diverse ways. Web Log Mining is one of the Web based application where it confronts with large amount of log information. In order to produce the web log through portal usage patterns and user behaviors’ recognition, this intended work is an endeavor to apply an efficient web mining algorithm for web log analysis, which is applied to identify the context related with the web design of an e- business web portal that requests security. Because of tremendous utilization of web, web log documents have a tendency to become large resulting in noisy data files. It can find the browsing patterns of client and some class of relationships between the web pages. Here we analyze the logs using web mining algorithm. Whatever the result we will get compare within the Apriori, AprioriAll and E-Web Miner Algorithm. Through the analysis we recognize that web mining algorithm called E-web miner i.e. Efficient Web Mining performs better considering space and time complexity. It can likewise be verified by comparison, candidate sets are much smaller and our results show number of database scanning get reduced due to implementation of E-Web Miner Algorithm.

STANDARDIZATION OF MODEL OF INDUCTION OF HEPATOTOXICITY WITH ANTI-TUBERCULOSIS DRUGS IN WISTAR ALBINO RATS

Objective: The objective of the study to standardize the model of hepatotoxicity induced by ATT drugs in Wistar Albino rats. Isoniazid (INH), rifampicin (RMP), pyrazinamide (PZA), the first line drugs used in the treatment of tuberculosis (TB) associated with the potential adverse effect. Numerous animal studies were reported endeavoring induction and cure of anti-TB (ATT) drug-induced hepatotoxicity using herbal and chemical drugs. However, the previous reported study failed to replicate where Wistar albino rats were treated with INH, RMP, and PZA and had shown the significant development of liver injury. Hence in present paper, aimed to develop a standardize model of induction of hepatotoxicity with ATT drugs.Methods: Wistar rats were treated with ATT drugs in combination in various doses up to 4-8 weeks. Total nine experiments were conducted to achieve successful hepatotoxicity. The aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) were the biochemical parameters of assessment. Histopathological changes in the liver were also examined.Results: No evidence of any liver injury or an inflammatory infiltrate has been observed as had been reported in the previous studies. Rather decrease in serum ALT levels has been observed by researcher. In short, hepatic injury cannot be developed with the doses used in previous reported papers. The successful attempt to induce hepatotoxicity can be achieved with the doses of INH - 100, RMP - 300, PZA - 700 mg/kg. The findings were confirmed by the raised ALT, AST, and ALP levels compared with baseline. The histopathological changes also support the findings.Conclusion: The dose of INH - 100, RMP – 300 and PZM - 700 mg/kg. Succeeds to induce hepatotoxicity in Wistar albino rats and Swiss albino mice as well

Evaluation of wound healing activity of topical phenytoin in an excision wound model in rats

Background: Wound healing is a significant healthcare problem in today’s medical practice. Despite extensive treatment modalities that are supposed to hasten the wound healing process, the outcomes of existing methods are far from optimal. One such agent that has been tried previously and found controversial in wound healing is phenytoin. Therefore, this study was planned to evaluate and compare wound healing effect of topical phenytoin with povidone iodine ointment in rats.Methods: This study was conducted after approval from Institutional Animal Ethics Committee (IAEC). Wound healing activity of topical phenytoin (1 g% and 2 g%) was assessed in excision wound model in Sprague Dawley rats (n=8), which was compared with topical petroleum jelly and povidone iodine ointment. Parameters studied included wound area on day 0, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, percentage wound contraction, percentage wound healing from day 0 to day 20 and period of re-epithelisation.Results: Wound surface area decreased in all treatment groups from day 0 through day 20 and the percentage wound closure was better in both the preparations (1% and 2%) of phenytoin when compared wih control and povidone iodine, but this was not statistically significant. Furthermore, the days required for complete re-epithelisation were less with phenytoin treated groups. There was no statistical difference between both the preparations of phenytoin.Conclusion: In this study, it was found that topical phenytoin accelerates wound healing process in an excision wound model

THE EFFICACY OF VASAGUDUCHYADI KASHAYAM IN ALCOHOLIC LIVER DISEASE

Alcoholic liver disease (ALD) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in India. Chronic consumption of alcohol results in variations in alcohol metabolism, oxidative stress, antigenic adducts formation and acetaldehyde toxicity. These factors cause inflammation, fatty changes, fibrosis of liver cells and raising the transaminases in the blood. There is no specific treatment for ALD.Vasaguduchyadi Kashayam is a classical Ayurvedic formulation stated in Ashtanga Hridayam for the treatment of Jaundice and anemia. The study focuses on the effect of the Vasaguduchyadi Kashayam in ALD for restoration of normal liver function, with the help of investigating 10 subjective and 2 objective parameters. As the Vasaguduchyadi Kashayam is Yakritgami, Kamalanashak and Pandunashak, was used as Trial Drug.Clinical Trials were conducted at Anandvan De-Addiction Centre, Pune. By ballot method 60 well diagnosed male patients of ALD were included in both Control and Trial group each. The diagnosis of ALD was made by documentation of alcohol excess and evidence of liver disease.The control group was allowed to partake symptomatic line of treatment advised by the centre while the trial group was administered Vasaguduchyadi kashayam in a dose of 15ml with luke warm water after meal for the duration of 45 days. Patients of both groups followed complete abstinence from Alcohol and Pathyakar aahar-vihar.The statistical analysis revealed that Trial drug is effective in ALD. It significantly reduces Agnimandya, Aruchi, Hrillas, Trishna and Pitatva besides it significantly normalizes the LFT too

Peanut oral immunotherapy transiently expands circulating Ara h 2–specific B cells with a homologous repertoire in unrelated subjects

Background Peanut oral immunotherapy (PNOIT) induces persistent tolerance to peanut in a subset of patients and induces specific antibodies that might play a role in clinical protection. However, the contribution of induced antibody clones to clinical tolerance in PNOIT is unknown. Objective We hypothesized that PNOIT induces a clonal, allergen-specific B-cell response that could serve as a surrogate for clinical outcomes. Methods We used a fluorescent Ara h 2 multimer for affinity selection of Ara h 2–specific B cells and subsequent single-cell immunoglobulin amplification. The diversity of related clones was evaluated by means of next-generation sequencing of immunoglobulin heavy chains from circulating memory B cells with 2x250 paired-end sequencing on the Illumina MiSeq platform. Results Expression of class-switched antibodies from Ara h 2–positive cells confirms enrichment for Ara h 2 specificity. PNOIT induces an early and transient expansion of circulating Ara h 2–specific memory B cells that peaks at week 7. Ara h 2–specific sequences from memory cells have rates of nonsilent mutations consistent with affinity maturation. The repertoire of Ara h 2–specific antibodies is oligoclonal. Next-generation sequencing–based repertoire analysis of circulating memory B cells reveals evidence for convergent selection of related sequences in 3 unrelated subjects, suggesting the presence of similar Ara h 2–specific B-cell clones. Conclusions Using a novel affinity selection approach to identify antigen-specific B cells, we demonstrate that the early PNOIT-induced Ara h 2–specific B-cell receptor repertoire is oligoclonal and somatically hypermutated and shares similar clonal groups among unrelated subjects consistent with convergent selection.

Studies on the effects of Adansonia Digitata Lin's fruits on diabetes

The point of this study is to look into how Adansonia digitata Linn plants can help people with diabetes. The bioactive extract was chosen by using the Haemoglobin Glycosylation Inhibition Assay and α-Amylase Inhibition Assay in a lab setting.So, the ethanolic solution was the most effective at fighting diabetes. In vivo study was done on it because of this. The extract was determined to be safe up to a level of 5000 mg/kg in a trial on acute poisoning. Anti-diabetic action was tested using a model of diabetes mellitus caused by streptozotocin. The factors that were looked at were changes in body weight and blood sugar levels. It was determined that following significant necrotic alterations, a damaged β-cell population, and smaller cells, the cells in the diabetes control group developed atrophy and fibrosis. The group that got the test amount, on the other hand, had normal pancreatic cells, more and bigger islets, and no necrosis or fibrotic changes. These were about the same amounts as those found in people who took Glibenclamide, which is the common drug. The analysis of phytochemicals showed that flavonoids exist. These chemicals may be what give Adansonia digitata Linn's fruits their ability to help people with diabetes. The current study says that ethanolic extract greatly lowers the chance of getting diabetes in both lab-based and real-life setting

Quantification of joint mobility limitation in adult type 1 diabetes

AimsDiabetic cheiroarthropathies limit hand mobility due to fibrosis and could be markers of a global profibrotic trajectory. Heterogeneity in definitions and lack of a method to measure it complicate studying associations with organ involvement and treatment outcomes. We measured metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint extension as a metric and describe magnetic resonance (MR) imaging determinants of MCP restriction.MethodsAdults with type 1 diabetes were screened for hand manifestations using a symptom questionnaire, clinical examination, and function [Duruoz hand index (DHI) and grip strength]. Patients were segregated by mean MCP extension (<20°, 20°–40°, 40°–60°, and >60°) for MR imaging (MRI) scanning. Patients in the four groups were compared using ANOVA for clinical features and MRI tissue measurements (tenosynovial, skin, and fascia thickness). We performed multiple linear regression for determinants of MCP extension.ResultsOf the 237 patients (90 men), 79 (33.8%) with cheiroarthropathy had MCP extension limitation (39° versus 61°, p < 0.01). Groups with limited MCP extension had higher DHI (1.9 vs. 0.2) but few (7%) had pain. Height, systolic blood pressure, and nephropathy were associated with mean MCP extension. Hand MRI (n = 61) showed flexor tenosynovitis in four patients and median neuritis in one patient. Groups with MCP mobility restriction had the thickest palmar skin; tendon thickness or median nerve area did not differ. Only mean palmar skin thickness was associated with MCP extension angle on multiple linear regression.ConclusionJoint mobility limitation was quantified by restricted mean MCP extension and had structural correlates on MRI. These can serve as quantitative measures for future associative and interventional studies

Cluster-randomised controlled trial of community mobilisation in Mumbai slums to improve care during pregnancy, delivery, postpartum and for the newborn

Background: The United Nations Millennium Development Goals look to substantial improvements in child and maternal survival. Morbidity and mortality during pregnancy, delivery and the postnatal period are prime obstacles to achieving these goals. Given the increasing importance of urban health to global prospects, Mumbai's City Initiative for Newborn Health aims to improve maternal and neonatal health in vulnerable urban slum communities, through a combination of health service quality improvement and community participation. The protocol describes a trial of community intervention aimed at improving prevention, care seeking and outcomes.Objective: To test an intervention that supports local women as facilitators in mobilising communities for better health care. Community women's groups will build an understanding of their potential to improve maternal and infant health, and develop and implement strategies to do so.Design: Cluster-randomized controlled trial.Methods: The intervention will employ local community-based female facilitators to convene groups and help them to explore maternal and neonatal health issues. Groups will meet fortnightly through a seven-phase process of sharing experiences, discussion of the issues raised, discovery of potential community strengths, building of a vision for action, design and implementation of community strategies, and evaluation.The unit of allocation will be an urban slum cluster of 1000-1500 households. 48 clusters have been randomly selected after stratification by ward. 24 clusters have been randomly allocated to receive the community intervention. 24 clusters will act as control groups, but will benefit from health service quality improvement. Indicators of effect will be measured through a surveillance system implemented by the project. Key distal outcome indicators will be neonatal mortality and maternal and neonatal morbidity. Key proximate outcome indicators will be home care practices, uptake of antenatal, delivery and postnatal care, and care for maternal and neonatal illness.Data will be collected through a vital registration system for births and deaths in the 48 study clusters. Structured interviews with families will be conducted at about 6 weeks after index deliveries. We will also collect both quantitative and qualitative data to support a process evaluation.Trial registration: Current controlled trials ISRCTN9625679

Prevention of recurrence and relapse of tinea incognito W.S.R. to Dadru

Introduction: Fungal infections are the most common infection of skin in India. Recurrence and relapse are very common. Incomplete treatment and use of steroid is responsible for resistant Tinea incognito. Main Clinical Finding: A female patient of 23-year-old had erythematous papulo-vesicular lesions over the right underarm and inguinal region from the last 1 year. History of temporary relief due to modern medicine with relapse was observed. Striae marks were evident over thighs indicating skin atrophy. Diagnosis: Patient was diagnosed with Tinea incognito (Ayurvedic diagnosis Dadru with Dooshivisha as a causative factor). Interventions: Patient was successfully managed with Dooshivishahara and Rakta Prasadak Chikitsa. Outcome: Improvement was evident after 3 weeks of therapy. No recurrence was reported till date. Conclusions: Ayurvedic approach to Tinea incognito not only helps to reduce relapse and recurrence but also physical discomfort and financial burden on patient
