EVALUATION OF AN AYURVEDIC FORMULATION IN THE MANAGEMENT OF ESSENTIAL HYPERTENSION IN ELDERLY PATIENTS

Introduction: Hypertension is emerging as a pandemic in the society. Though a lot of potent antihypertensive drugs are available today but none of them is free from untoward effects. Especially the elderly population poorly tolerates these drugs. Objective: This study was conducted to clinically evaluate the efficacy of an Ayurvedic formulation in the management of essential hypertension in elderly patients. Materials and Methods: 45 patients of either sex of stage-I essential hypertension in the age group of 60-90 years were registered for the present study. Patients with stage-II hypertension, and secondary hypertension were excluded from study. Registered patients were randomly divided into two groups. In group-I patients were managed with Tagar Churna, Gokshur Churna and Triphla Churna. Group-II patients were managed with a standard calcium channel blocker drug Amlodipine. The duration of trial was 30 days. Observations: After one month of therapy statistically highly significant reduction in systolic B.P., diastolic B.P. mean arterial B.P. and pulse pressure was observed in both groups. Pulse rate was statistically significantly reduced in group-I patients. Biochemical studies revealed a beneficial effect on serum lipid profile in group-I patients whereas in group-II patients it remained unchanged. Conclusion: It is evident from results of the study that combination of Tagar and Gokshura along with Triphala Churna possess potent antihypertensive activity. Combination of trial herbs appear to be safe for elderly hypertensive patients when given in mentioned doses and duration as no untoward effect of therapy was observed during the study period

Histopathologic Cancer Detection

Early diagnosis of the cancer cells is necessary for making an effective treatment plan and for the health and safety of a patient. Nowadays, doctors usually use a histological grade that pathologists determine by performing a semi-quantitative analysis of the histopathological and cytological features of hematoxylin-eosin (HE) stained histopathological images. This research contributes a potential classification model for cancer prognosis to efficiently utilize the valuable information underlying the HE-stained histopathological images. This work uses the PatchCamelyon benchmark datasets and trains them in a multi-layer perceptron and convolution model to observe the model's performance in terms of precision, Recall, F1 Score, Accuracy, and AUC Score. The evaluation result shows that the baseline convolution model outperforms the baseline MLP model. Also, this paper introduced ResNet50 and InceptionNet models with data augmentation, where ResNet50 is able to beat the state-of-the-art model. Furthermore, the majority vote and concatenation ensemble were evaluated and provided the future direction of using transfer learning and segmentation to understand the specific features.Comment: 5 pages, 5 figures, 2 table

Joining Parti Amanah Negara (Amanah) and Leaving Parti Islam seMalaysia (PAS): The Case Study of Amanah Party Activists in Terengganu

Party activists are assets to the political party. Their contributions to the party in terms of time, money and energy are undeniable. They are the strongest supporters of the parties and candidates during elections, very loyal and dedicated to the party and research shows that the more active members a party has in a constituency, the more votes it will win there. This paper explores the factors that drive individuals to become political party activists of a newly established party, Parti Amanah Negara – Amanah (National Trust Party). Then it is followed by a discussion on why do they leave the party (Parti Islam seMalaysia – PAS) they once became very active. The discussions are mainly guided by the General Incentive theory that suggests seven incentives that motivate individuals to become party activists. The last part briefly analyses the future and prospects of Parti Amanah Negara in the next 14th General Election, specifically in Terengganu, the PAS stronghold state. The respondents reveal that ideological differences between them and the former party are too great and they are more skeptical about the value of political engagement through PAS. This study also opposes the existing literature that the tendency for ideologically-extreme activists to leave the party is lower compared to the moderate activists since all the respondents were former active PAS activists in Terengganu and had been with party for years

Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) as a prognostic marker in chronic myeloid Leukemia: an observational study

Background: Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) is a protein which is associated with various inflammatory conditions affecting human tissues, such as those in the respiratory, gastro-enteric and urinary tracts, with a marked increase in the local and systemic expression. Different experimental evidences reveal that NGAL is required for the induction and pathogenesis of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML).Methods: The present study was conducted in department of Biochemistry in a tertiary care institute of Haryana. 30 cases of CML were included in the study. It was a hospital based observational study which was conducted for one-year duration. Apart from routine biochemical investigations, serum NGAL estimation was done before the initiation of therapy and after 3 months of therapy.Results: The median age at presentation was 39 years. Male to female ratio was 1.3:1. Weight loss was the most common presentation of patients (53.3%). More than half of the cases occurred in age group of 21-40 years. Serum NGAL was significantly higher in CML patients (358.47±125.65) before treatment as compared to serum NGAL value after treatment (85.03±62.77). In patients who achieved hematological remission, mean serum NGAL levels (62.46 ng/ml±23.72) were statistically lower than mean serum NGAL values in patients who did not achieve remission (231.75 ng/ml±16.7).Conclusions: The present study concluded that serum NGAL levels can be used as diagnostic and prognostic marker in CML

Role of Information and communication technology (ICT) in agriculture and extension

Information and communication technology (ICT) aids provide up-to-date information on the market prices of commodities, inputs and consumer trends which ultimately can improve a farmer's negotiating position and their livelihood. Major aspect of ICT is that accurate information should reach the farmers at the right time to make more sustainable use of on-farm resources. Now the question arises that how this information can be disseminated to such a diverse group of the farming community. ICT is going to play greater role in agricultural extension as well as private sector agribusiness, market information and market intelligence. Here this paper review the role of ICT not only in providing greater awareness and knowledge in agriculture technology and information but also in terms of farmer’s attitudes towards trying to adopt new technologies
