    Physical well-being is essential to a person's mental development and spiritual progress. When the diet is set properly, the body can live without disease. The only way to treat the disease is to know the status of the disease and take the appropriate diet and medicine while knowing the diet. Thus our ancestors followed a diet for disease and had food as medicine. Thus lived a long day healthy. It is better to keep the body healthy than to get sick. Otherwise, the living days will be reduced and the living days will become miserable. The judicial texts places great emphasis on diet. Through it, we will set up a diet that is naturally healthy and follow the diet to find ways to get healthy without getting sick

    Delivery is a natural phenomenon, it has been demonstrated that the accompanying pain is considered severe or extreme in more than half of cases. Besides conventional approaches, such as epidural analgesia, many complementary or alternative methods have been reported to reduce pain during labour and delivery. The research design of this study was quasi experimental post test only design. The setting of the study was the Infant Jesus Hospital at Madurai. The sample size was 60, (i.e) 30 in control group and 30 in experimental group respectively. PROBLEM STATMENT: A Study to determine the effectiveness of sacral massage in reduction of pain during first stage of labour among primi gravida mothers at selected Hospital, Madurai. OBJECTIVES: To assess the level of pain among control group mothers. To assess the level of pain among experimental group of mothers after giving sacral massage. To determine the effectiveness of sacral massage in terms of reduction in pain among experimental group and control group mothers. To find out the association between effectiveness of sacral massage with selected demographic variables of primi gravida mothers such as age, education, religion, type of family, phases of labour, Types of labour among experimental group mothers. HYPOTHESIS: There will be a significant difference in post test pain score among the mothers in experimental group and control group. There will be a significant association between the effectiveness of sacral massage and selected demographic variables such as age, education, religion, type of family, phases of labour, types of labour and duration of first stage of labour among experimental group. MAJOR FINDINGS OF THE STUDY: In control group 100% had severe pain. Experimental had 93% moderate pain and 7% severe pain in the post test. The effectiveness of sacral massage was found between control and experimental group showed significant improvement in pain score. The observed value was 26.42 at 95% of confidential interval (2.73704- 3.19629). Comparison of pain score control and experimental group after sacral massage. In pain, significant value is not less than 0.05, it is noted that improved in pain score level. There was a significant association between post test pain score of experimental group and selected demo variables such as age, education, type of family and type of labour. RECOMMENDATION:- A similar study can be done on a large sample. A study can be done involving family members or husband in pain reduction during labour using sacral massage. A comparative study could be done to assess the effectiveness of sacral massage in terms of reduction of pain among primi gravid mothers and multi gravida mothers. A comparative study can be carried out in hospital and community set up. CONCLUSION:- Labour is beautiful experience to a women and pain is a critical determinant for survival in the labour period. If the mother with labour pain, it is fear and anxiety for the mother. As per the record, the occurrence of pain during labour is high, but it is differ from individual to individual. Demonstration is an effective method of increasing the practice of nurse as well as family members regarding sacral massage

    Objective: To determine the effect of Tridham (TD) and 1,2,3,4,6-penta-O-galloyl-β-d-glucose(PGG) on lipid peroxidation levels and mitochondrial antioxidants status in experimental mammary carcinoma.Methods: Elaecoarpus ganitrus (fruits), Terminalia chebula (seed coats), Prosopis cineraria (leaves), adult female albino rats of Sprague-Dawley strain weighing 170–190 g and 7,12-dimethylbenzeneanthracene (DMBA) were used for this study. Group I control rats, Group II rats mammary carcinoma induced with DMBA (25 mg in 1 ml olive oil) by gastric intubation. Group III, IV and V DMBA induced rats were treated with TD (400 mg/kg. b. wt/day), PGG (30 mg/kg. b. wt/day) and standard drug, Cyclophosphamide (30 mg/kg. b. wt/day), respectively for 48 d by gastric intubation. Group VI and VII rats served as TD and PGG treated controls, respectively for 48 d by gastric intubation. At the end of the experimental period, the rats were anaesthetized and sacrificed. Mammary glands were isolated and used for biochemical assays and histopathological evaluation.Results: In rats with cancer, the lipid peroxide levels (LPO) were significantly increased and mitochondrial antioxidant levels were decreased. Treatment with TD and PGG decreased LPO levels and increased mitochondrial antioxidant status in mammary carcinoma bearing rats. Histopathological analysis also confirmed the therapeutic effect of TD and PGG. No significant adverse effect was observed in sole drug treated group of rats.Conclusion: TD and PGG have definite therapeutic effect in experimental mammary carcinoma and inhibit growth of cancer cells by restoring mitochondrial antioxidant status and energy metabolism to normal states

    ABSTRACTObjective: Emerging evidence indicates that cancer is primarily a metabolic disease involving disturbances in energy production, and hence,reprogramming of cellular energy metabolism is deemed to be one of the principal hallmarks of cancer. Tridham (TD) has been used by traditionalpractitioners of Siddha medicine against various ailments. Hence, the present study has been designed to evaluate the therapeutic effect of TD onaltered energy metabolism in mammary carcinoma-bearing rats.Methods: Adult female albino rats of Sprague-Dawley strain weighing 170-190 g were used and 7,12-dimethylbenzeneanthracene (DMBA) was used forinduction of mammary carcinoma and rats were divided into seven groups. Group I - control rats, Group II - DMBA-induced rats, Group III - DMBA- andTD-treated rats, Group IV - DMBA- and 1,2,3,4,6-Penta-O-galloyl-β-d-glucose (PGG)-treated rats, Group V - DMBA- and cyclophosphamide-treated rats,Groups VI and VII are TD and PGG control rats.Results: Significant (p<0.05) increase in the glycolytic enzymes, hexokinase, phosphoglucoisomerase and aldolase, was observed in tumor-bearingrats whereas gluconeogenic enzymes, glucose-6-phosphatase and fructose-1,6-biphosphatase, were significantly decreased. The activities of themitochondrial Krebs cycle enzymes, isocitrate dehydrogenase, α-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase, succinate dehydrogenase, and malate dehydrogenase,and respiratory chain enzymes, nicotinamide dinucleotide dehydrogenase and cytochrome c oxidase, were significantly reduced in tumor tissue ofthe mammary carcinoma-bearing rats. These biochemical disturbances were effectively counteracted by TD and PGG which restore the activities of allthese enzymes to the respective control levels.Conclusion: TD and PGG effectively ameliorated the altered glucose metabolism resulting in the regression of breast cancer.Keywords: Breast cancer, Cancer cachexia, Carbohydrate-metabolizing enzymes, Krebs cycle

    Agriculture and global warming are correlated with each other, particularly, it may affect nutrient cycles, microbial activities, and physiological activities of the crops. Agricultural development plays a crucial role in the growth of the economy of developing countries. The agriculture sector is a major source of employment in most of the developing countries. Over the year, there were changes and productivity loss due to the abiotic stresses and imbalance of nutrients of the plants. A continuous increase in temperature may affect the yields of crops up to 17%. Each plant has different characteristics in growth and some plants are susceptible to high temperature, some are quite the opposite. A Brassica Juncea L. belongs to a mustard family Brassicaceae or Cruciferae that are susceptible to high temperature. So, in this work, an attempt has been made for Brassica Juncea L. to grow and yield under temperature stress by controlling the temperature with the use of the Internet of Things (IoT). The experiment has been conducted where Brassica Juncea neither production nor consumption. IoT sensors are used to monitor the temperature and humidity in two different scenarios. This paper analyses the factors that affect the growth of Brassica Juncea and provide a solution to increase productivity. View Article DOI: 10.47856/ijaast.2022.v09i04.00

    Satellite Image Enhancement Using Framelet Transform And Non-Local Means Filter

    Get PDF
    Abstract: Resolution enhancement (RE) schemes suffer from the drawback of losing high frequency contents (which results in blurring). The wavelet-transform-based RE scheme, generates artifacts (due to a shift-variant property). Therefore a framelet-domain approach and non-local means (NLM) filter is proposed for RE of the satellite images. A satellite input image is decomposed by Framelet transform ( FT) to obtain high-frequency subbands. The high-frequency subbands and the low-resolution (LR) input image are interpolated using the Lanczos interpolator. The high frequency subbands are passed through an NLM (despite of its nearly shift invarianc
