NON INVASIVE COST EFFECTIVE SIDDHA DIAGNOSTIC TOOLS FOR SIDDHA AILMENTS
The medication of normal procedure shall be extra legitimate if the ailment is identified by using it’s possess viewpoint. So the be taught was once aimed to determine the sensitivity and specificity of the Siddha diagnostic methodology. Siddha strongly advocacies every physician to seem into “what type of person is suffering from an ailment is most important than what variety of health problem he has”. This holistic standpoint devises the protocol of each medication in Siddha. This distinctive primary is the delicate force and motive in the back of the existence of this method considering antiquity.Having the above mentioned unique standards in intellect, this paper tried to fully grasp the complexity and core basics of Siddha diagnostics which indeed pave solution to unique therapeutics. The medication of normal system shall be more legitimate if the disorder is diagnosed via its own point of view. So the learn was once aimed to check the sensitivity and specificity of the Siddha diagnostic ways. Eight fold examinations displays particularly pulse studying, tongue, complexion, voice, eyes, physique examination, stool and urine. These instruments provide the framework in phrases of immediate and individualized prognosis and medication to the patient and support to recover from diseases in a timely fashion without leaving any hazardous impact on the physique
Assessment of groundwater quality using spatial variation technique
Groundwater management is a potential solution to the global water crisis. We assessed the groundwater quality at Mettupalayam, Tamil Nadu, India, in order to determine its suitability for drinking. Groundwater samples were collected and their physicochemical characteristics such as pH, electrical conductivity (EC), total hardness (TH), total dissolved solids (TDS), Ca2+, Mg2+, SO42- and Cl- were determined and benchmarked with standard drinking water requirements. The variations of these parameters were presented spatially. The groundwater is generally brackish and hard; and of low alkalinity and high salinity. Consequently, the groundwater in most parts of the study area is unsuitable for drinking without treatment. It is recommended that point and nonpoint sources of groundwater pollution at Mettupalayam should be identified, monitored and managed in order to protect the groundwater
A comparative study between 0.5% centbucridine and 2% lignocaine with adrenaline (1:200,000) for bilateral extraction of mandibular premolar using nerve block anesthesia: a double blind randomized controlled clinical study
Background: The purpose of the study was to compare the efficacy of 0.5% centbucridine and 2% lignocaine with adrenaline (1:200,000).Methods: A clinical prospective, controlled, randomized, double blind group study was conducted on 22 patients referred for extraction of mandibular premolars, who were randomly assigned to 2 groups by the split mouth method. Before extraction of mandibular premolar, either 0.5% centbucridine or 2% lignocaine with 1:200,000 adrenaline were used for anesthesia. All the patients were given inferior alveolar, lingual, and long buccal nerve blocks. Pain on injection, onset of anesthesia, duration of anesthesia and changes in blood pressure and pulse rate were monitored and recorded.Results: In our study, statistically significant difference was found between the efficacy of agents as for time for onset of anesthesia, duration of action, and changes in blood pressure and pulse rate, but no statistically significant difference was found for pain on injection between two groups.Conclusions: The efficacy of centbucridine was found to be more as compared to lignocaine with adrenaline, in rapid onset of anesthesia, longer duration of action, and cardiovascular stability. There was no significant difference in the pain on injection for both centbucridine and lignocaine with adrenaline. Centbucridine can be used in medically compromised condition where adrenaline is contraindicated
Automated Teller Machine (ATM)- a Pathogen City a Surveillance Report From Locations in and Around Madurai City, Tamil Nadu, India
ATM is used by millions of people in a day. It is meant to be a public utility device. Hence the microorganisms plays a major role in accommodating the safer place, ATM. Hence to this account an elaborate survey was taken for complete assessment of microbiology in and around Madurai city. Swabs were collected from each ATM screen, buttons, floor, users hand, exposure of plates and also extended the work in relation with microorganisms prevalent in ladies toilet the samples collected from ATM were plated in nutrient agar plates. The results showed the presence of increased bacterial count subsequently, most pathogens on characterization extended revealed the genus of the particular organism E-coli, Pseudomonas, Staphylococcus aures, Klebsiella, Micrococcus, Salmonella, Serratia and fungal species included Aspergillus sp, Mucor sp and Fusarium. Antibiogram study of bacteria also provides us information about the antibiotic resistance pattern of the bacterial isolates
Macroprudential Approach to Regulation - Scope and Issues
This paper provides an overview of the Reserve Bank of India's approach to macroprudential regulation and systemic risk management, and reviews lessons drawn from the Indian experience. It emphasizes the need for harmonization of monetary policy and prudential objectives, which may not be possible if banking supervision is separated from central banks. It also notes that supervisors need to have the necessary independence and flexibility to act in a timely manner on the basis of available information. Macroprudential regulation is an inexact science with limitations and needs to be used in conjunction with other policies to be effective
Endothelin-Receptor Antagonists beyond Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension: Cancer and Fibrosis.
The endothelin axis and in particular the two endothelin receptors, ETA and ETB, are targets for therapeutic intervention in human diseases. Endothelin-receptor antagonists are in clinical use to treat pulmonary arterial hypertension and have been under clinical investigation for the treatment of several other diseases, such as systemic hypertension, cancer, vasospasm, and fibrogenic diseases. In this Perspective, we review the molecules that have been evaluated in human clinical trials for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension, as well as other cardiovascular diseases, cancer, and fibrosis. We will also discuss the therapeutic consequences of receptor selectivity with regard to ETA-selective, ETB-selective, or dual ETA/ETB antagonists. We will also consider which chemical characteristics are relevant to clinical use and the properties of molecules necessary for efficacy in treating diseases against which known molecules displayed suboptimal efficacy
Waste mangement- issues and solutions for a coastal village along Kerala, southwest coast of India
In the present world, plastics play an integral role in human life. Its production crosses
150 million tonnes per year globally and India contributes to more than 8 million tonnes,
in terms of consumption. Plastic is cost effective, durable and holds a broad range of
application, which turned it to a basic need for the human society. On the other side, 70
% of the consumption is converted as waste and when the infrastructure of the waste
management system do not match with the generation rate, it becomes a menace
to the society. One of the major concerns of fishermen has been the depleting fishery
resources and degrading environment. With an aim to understand the magnitude of
marine litter in coastal waters and the way it affects traditional small scale fishers the
present study was undertaken. The study area is Mulavukad village Panchayat (latitude
10°02’98.21’’ and longitude 76°25’53.26’’) which is a long narrow stretch of land
located in the Ernakulum district of Kerala state, India with an area of 19.27 sq km.
The island is surrounded by Periyar river on the North east and Vembanad Lake on the
South west. The major lively hood of the people is fishing and fishery related activities
DNA from Plant leaf Extracts: A Review for Emerging and Promising Novel Green Corrosion Inhibitors.
With growing global awareness and concern for environmental protection through
the use of less hazardous and environmentally-friendly extracts of plant origin,
there has been a plethora of green corrosion inhibitors research with far reaching
contributions to the science of corrosion prevention and control. Attention has
increasingly turned towards green corrosion inhibitors, compounds of natural
origin with anti-oxidant activity towards metals and their alloys. Green inhibitors
have been investigated for their corrosion and adsorption properties with good
results. The findings from these research works provide evidence of the
adsorption behavior of green inhibitors which was confirmed by the adsorption
isotherms that were proposed. Adsorption is the first step of any surface reaction
and since corrosion is a surface phenomenon the effectiveness of green corrosion
inhibitors is related to their ability to adsorb on metal surfaces. This review
proposes the potential of plant dna as an emerging and promising novel inhibitor
for mild steel. It begins with a list of plants that have been used in studies to
determine corrosion inhibition properties and moves on to establish the adsorption
behavior of bio macromolecules; protein, polysaccharides (chitosan) and dna. It
reviews studies and investigation of dna interaction and adsorption on inorganic
surfaces before focusing on the use of salmon (fish) sperm dna and calf thymus
gland dna as green corrosion inhibitors for mild steel. It concludes that plant dna
is a promising candidate for green corrosion inhibitor given the similarity between
the plant and animal dna structure and function, and the fact that the use of plant
is more environmentally sustainable than animal-based produc
