Effect of Paclobutrazol on Fruit Quality Attributes in Mango (Mangifera indica L.) Cv. Totapuri

Paclobutrazol application restricts vegetative growth while improving flowering and fruiting in mango. In the present study, effect of soil drenching with Paclobutrazol @ 3.0ml m-1 canopy diameter, applied during the 3rd week of August, on fruit quality attributes was investigated in cv. Totapuri. Parameters like fruit weight, total soluble solids (TSS), % acidity, and content of ascorbic acid, carotenoids, lycopene and individual sugars was estimated. Paclobutrazol application increased average fruit weight, TSS and content of ascorbic acid and total carotenoids, and reduced the acidity in fruits compared to fruits in untreated trees. Lycopene content was only marginally influenced by paclobutrazol. In fruits of paclobutrazol treated trees, increase of 23.4% in total sugars, 29.6% in reducing sugars, 77.4% in glucose and 27.8% in sucrose content was recorded over fruits from the untreated trees. Results indicated that, paclobutrazol application improved quality in mango fruit

A pharmacovigilance study of antiretroviral therapy in HIV positive out patients at a tertiary care teaching hospital

Background: Anti-Retroviral Therapy regimen (ART) is the only treatment option for treating the HIV positive patients for improving the immune system by increasing the CD4 cells. But eventually these medications lead to development of some Adverse Drug Reactions (ADRs) in seropositive patients under treatment.Methods: A prospective observational study was conducted for 6 months from March to August 2018 at ART Centre, Sri Venkateswara Ramnarayan Ruya Government General Hospital (SVRRGGH), Tirupati.Results: Out of 216 ADRs identified, majority where identified in females (54.35%). Most common regimen caused ADR was tenofovir+ lamivudine+ efavirenz (TLE) (55.55%). Data were analysed using the chi-square test were P-value was found to be 0.0024. Majority of ADRs were found in patients of age group between 31-35years was found to be 45 (20.83%) followed by age group between 41-45years was found to be 40 (18.51%). Most of the ADRs were related to central nervous system (27.31%) followed by metabolic disorders (26.38%), hematologic system (23.14%), gastrointestinal system (12.96%), dermatologic system (9.25%), renal system (0.46%) and musculoskeletal system (0.46%). On evaluation of WHO-UMC causality of ADRs, majority were found to be possible (78.7%). The Hartwig and Siegel’s severity assessment scale showed that most of the ADRs were mild (64.42%). The Schumock and Thornton preventability scale showed that 50.92% patients ADRs were probably preventable.Conclusions: As most of the ADRs were observed in patients receiving TLE regimen. So, patients receiving TLE regimen need intensive monitoring. Doctors, nurses, pharmacist must focus on early detection and prevention of ADRs, based on their severity

Physiological approaches to improving harvest index and productivity in sunflower

Factors associated with variation in harvest index and approaches to improve harvest index (HI) and productivity in sunflower are discussed in this article. In recent years, higher productivity in sunflower has been achieved mainly through increased crop growth rates. Besides, an improvement in harvest index also has contributed for improved productivity to a certain extent. In our study we observed that medium duration types (100 to 110 days) had high HI compared with early or long-duration varieties and we also attempted to understand the ways and means to improve HI in sunflower types with varied duration. Genotypes which had low partitioning of dry matter to stem plus thalamus had high HI. Genotypes which accumulated high biomass during post flowering stages of development also showed high HI and seed yield. In a few genotypes remobilization of photosynthates from vegetative plant parts to the seed resulted in high HI and seed yield. Among the sink characters, the number of seed per head, test weight and seed density (weight/volume) also contributed to achieving high HI values. Identification and selection of genotypes based on these criteria will increase the production further. Since large amount of biomass is still locked up in the vegetative plant parts, any practice to manipulate the mobilization of photosynthates from vegetative parts to head also improves HI and thus seed yield. In our experiment, we observed that foliar application of boron nutrient and application of growth regulators to the head improved the translocation of photosynthates to the head and thus increased the HI and seed yield

Case report on tuberous sclerosis

Tuberous sclerosis is a genetic multisystem disorder characterized by widespread hamartomas in several organs, including the brain, heart, skin, eyes, kidney, lung and liver.  The affected genes are TSC1 and TSC2, encoding hamartin and tuberin respectively.  Most features of tuberous sclerosis become evident only in childhood, limiting their usefulness for early diagnosis. We report a case of 3months old female child with seizures and hypo-pigmented skin lesions. The case is rare as it is documented in a family affected continuously in three generations involving four members

Chemical Constituents during the Main and Off-Season in Mango (Mangifera indica L.) Cv. Royal Special

Evaluation and quantification of fruit quality parameters like carbohydrates, phenolics, flavonoids, ascorbic acid, titrable acidity, Total Soluble Solids (TSS), carotenoids and lycopene content was done in fruits of mango cv. Royal Special, at ICAR-Indian Institute of Horticultural Research, Bengaluru, India, during the off-season (October, 2012) and main-season (June, 2013), respectively. 'Royal Special' is a typical off-season bearing cultivar, often characterized by multiple flushing and flowering under South Indian conditions. Major phytonutrients such as total sugars, reducing sugars, starch, total carotenoids, lycopene, total phenols, flavonoids, ascorbic acid, TSS, titrable acidity and average fruit yield per plant, were recorded during the off- and main- seasons. Results indicated that fruits from off-season were higher in the major chemical constituents studied compared to the main-season crop, except for fruit yield per plant. This may be attributed to poor competition for nutrients among the developing fruits which act as a sink, besides fluctuating environmental conditions during the off-season, compared to the main-season

Drug utilization pattern among geriatrics according to anatomical therapeutic chemical and defined daily dose classification in a tertiary care hospital

Background: This study was conducted to determine the drug utilization pattern among geriatric inpatients in general medicine department of the hospital.Methods: An observational, prospective study was conducted for a period of six months (November 2016 to April 2017) among 200 geriatric patients; demographic details, education, occupation, diagnosis and drug details were recorded. The drugs were categorized by anatomical therapeutic classification (ATC) and defined daily dose (DDD) was calculated. The World Health Organization (WHO) prescribing indicators were assessed.Results: The majority of the patients (59%) were in age group of 60-69 years. Cardiovascular diseases were common among geriatrics. Most commonly prescribed drug was Pantoprazole (81.7%). Drugs were assigned with ATC/DDD codes according to the guidelines of WHO. Drugs prescribed by their generic names were 56.64% and 43% of drugs that were included in the National Essential Medicines List.Conclusions: Clinical pharmacist have to collaborate and work together with physicians in selecting and adjusting the dose among geriatric population in order to reduce development of potential adverse drug reactions, serious drug related complications and drug interaction
