Evaluation and Analysis of Customer Specific Distribution Reliability Indices

Reliability of electrical distribution network is significant in ensuring quality service for customers. Reliability indices based on load and sustained interruptions are used to evaluate the reliability of distribution network. In this paper, taking the data from a chosen area of electrical distribution network in A.P, the reliability indices are computed Keywords: Distribution system, reliability indices, sustained interruption indices, matlab

Recurring Lower Abdominal Pain and Fever as Initial Presentation of Adult Onset Still’s Disease in the Absence of Arthralgia and Other System Involvement

A 34 year-old Afro-Caribbean female presented with recurring episodes of fever and lower abdominal pain over a period of two months not improving despite courses of antibiotics for possible recurrent urinary tract infections. On admission to hospital, patient was treated for a possible pyelonephritis or pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). Extensive investigations into possible source of infection were carried out. However, all of the repeated microbiological cultures were normal. Patient was investigated further for other possible causes including connective tissue disease, haematological disorders, or neoplasm, all of which were normal. Diagnosis of adult onset Still’s disease (AOSD) was confirmed by a rheumatologist based on Yamaguchi’s diagnostic criteria for AOSD alongside significantly raised serum ferritin. Patient was treated with steroids to which she showed remarkable clinical improvement alongside marked reduction in her serum ferritin levels

Immunomodulation of Autoimmune Arthritis by Herbal CAM

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a debilitating autoimmune disease of global prevalence. The disease is characterized by synovial inflammation leading to cartilage and bone damage. Most of the conventional drugs used for the treatment of RA have severe adverse reactions and are quite expensive. Over the years, increasing proportion of patients with RA and other immune disorders are resorting to complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) for their health needs. Natural plant products comprise one of the most popular CAM for inflammatory and immune disorders. These herbal CAM belong to diverse traditional systems of medicine, including traditional Chinese medicine, Kampo, and Ayurvedic medicine. In this paper, we have outlined the major immunological pathways involved in the induction and regulation of autoimmune arthritis and described various herbal CAM that can effectively modulate these immune pathways. Most of the information about the mechanisms of action of herbal products in the experimental models of RA is relevant to arthritis patients as well. The study of immunological pathways coupled with the emerging application of genomics and proteomics in CAM research is likely to provide novel insights into the mechanisms of action of different CAM modalities

Phenotypic and genotypic characterization of B.t.LDC-391 strain that produce cytocidal proteins against human cancer cells

An indigenous Bacillus thuringiensis strain B.t.LDC-391 producing cytocidal proteins against human colon cancer cell line, HCT-116, was subjected to phenotypic and genotypic characterization to evaluate its relatedness to B.anthracis. The morphological features of this strain were meta-analyzed with data of other parasporin and insecticidal protein producing Bacillus thuringiensis strains. The conventional biochemical analysis and antibiotic sensitivity test proved it as an ampicillin resistant which is a salient feature, absent in B.anthracis Ames. PCR analysis showed the absence of cyt and parasporin related genes in the genome of B.t.LDC-391. But the strain was positive for cap gene. The sequencing and bio-informatic analysis of cap gene and 16S rDNA of B.t.LDC-391 placed it closer to B.thuringiensis and revealed significant divergence from that of any B.anthracis strain. However our strain lacked β– hemolysis on human erythrocytes which is a common feature of B.anthracis strains and parasporin producers
