Livelihood of the Folk People in the novel Sool

Culture is a kind of practice and social behaviour of a particular group of people in the society meant for organizing their lives. It can be attained through the four virtues that are moral, material, pleasure and austerity which is connected to the integral and external part of human life. Tamil people have strongly rooted in its classical language, culture and tradition for more than two thousand years and it has been successfully reflected in its literature which is renowned worldwide for having a great impact on other countries (foreigners). This code of culture and tradition is based on the integral and intellectual insight of Tamil people, not depend on their economic values, this kind of values are found in the novel ‘Sool’ written by the Sakhithya Akademi Award (2019) winning writer So.Dharman who has traced out from the life of Urulaikkudi people depicting their agricultural practices and water resource management especially on various forms of their worship, festival, medicine, rituals and conventional beliefs. These are closely connected to their daily routine life and this research paper is briefly focused on the rustic lives, practices of Tamil people described by the writer So. Dharman. Thus, culture is so called identity and inheritance of Tamil people in and around the world

Arbuscular Mycorrhiza: Their distribution and association with plants in the revegetated mine spoils of India – an overview

Reclamation of mine spoils is receiving considerable attention in the recent years due to the ill effects of mining and dumping of the mine spoil waste leading to various environmental hazards.

Profile of Induced Labour

INTRODUCTION: Around 10 - 50% of all deliveries are preceded by labour induction, a proportion that has not varied dramatically over recent years. Fetal death was the only indication for labour induction centuries ago, while this is now a very rare indication, with prolonged pregnancy and maternal hypertensive disorders being the major indications for the last 50–60 years. Safety, success, and patient satisfaction continue to be the major objectives with economic evaluations now becoming a significant factor in the search for the ideal induction method. TURNBULL (1970) said that the spontaneous labour is robust and effective mechanism and should be allowed to operate on own. we should induce labour if we are sure we can do better. Induction of labor is defined as the initiation of the process of labour, by artificial methods to anticipate delivery via naturalis after the fetus has attained the viability. AIM OF THE STUDY: 1. To study the profile of induced labour in a tertiary care institution. 2. Outcome of such induction in NULLIPARA & MULTIPARA. 3. Intrapartum, Postpartum maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality of patients who underwent induction of labour. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study was conducted at Institute of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Chennai. Approval of institutional ethical committee had been obtained. TYPE OF STUDY: Prospective observational study. PERIOD OF STUDY: JANUARY 2008 TO JUNE 2008. METHODOLOGY: Inclusion Criteria: Singleton live Pregnancies, Cephalic Presentation, Gestational Age >37 Weeks, Bishop Score <4, Reactive CTG, No Spontaneous uterine contraction, Exclusion criteria: Multiple Pregnancies, Mal presentation, Preterm Pregnancies, Non Reactive CTG, Antepartum haemorrhage, Previous uterine scar, Spontaneous Labour. Reason for Induction: 1. Absolute Indication - As in severe PET, imminent eclampsia, eclampsia. 2. Marginal indication - GDM on insulin, PET, Repeated false labour, AFI < 8, BOH, Hospital protocol as in postdated pregnancy, Rh negative pregnancy and prelabour rupture of membranes. Patients were counseled regarding the decision taken and their wishes respected. Informed written consent obtained. SUMMARY: Mean age of women 23.3with range between 18 and 37 years. Mean gestational age is 41 weeks. Nulliparous women accounted for 74.25%. About 52% of primipara and 47.5% of multi has associated antepartum risk factor. Medical disorders, mainly PET (23.41%) formed the major antenatal risk factor. Most common indication for induction is postdatism followed by Preeclampsia. Rate of vaginal delivery is 51.1% .Among them 65.6% delivered with single dose of PGE2 and augmentation with oxytocin. 8.59% delivered with two doses of PGE2and augmentation with oxytocin. Rate of caesarean section is 48.3%. Common indication for induction is fetal distress. Mean birth weight is 2.89 with range between 1.5 and 4.0kg. No uterine rupture was encountered in the study. CONCLUSION: The rate of induction of labour has increased nowadays with better methods for induction of labour and better techniques for evaluation of fetal wellbeing available. Clearly the favorability of the cervix has a substantial impact on the potential success of any labour induction. The present study thus shows that application of intracervical PGE2 gel caused favourable changes in the cervix by increasing the Bishop score with minimal side effects. Although labour induction is not without its risks for the mother and particularly for the fetus, intracervical PGE2 gel application followed by oxytocin is found to be safe and acceptable method for induction of labour in patients with unfavourable cervix with minimal maternal morbidity and mortality

A Smart Remote Monitoring System for Prenatal Care in Rural Areas

The complications in maternity especially the women lives in rural sector can be reduced through regular monitoring of their vitals like blood pressure, SpO2 and fetal growth. The internet of things (IoT) is the modern technology bridges the gap between the traditional clinical setting with its consumers as well promotes the telemedicine industry into great levels of accessing proactive healthcare facilities. The predominant aim of this work is to bring a remote monitoring device which assesses the significant health indicators of the pregnant women and their fetus status cost effectively. In order to build such kit, the biosensors like heart rate, SpO2, pressure, temperature and load cell which gives the weight of the fetus are integrated into Arudino board. The sensor readings are processed through ThingSpeak. The timely medical attention is proposed upon observing abnormal physiological vitals of the women which is implemented through a buzzer system in this device. Like such devices in realism help to predict the pregnancy risk and decrease the mortality rate

Fatal Case of Diazepam and Paraquat Poisoning – A Case Report

Background: A very dangerous activity among youth and young adults is the indiscriminate mixing and sharing of prescription drugs, often in combination with alcohol or other drugs. The effects of these combinations of substances can be fatal.Case Report: A 28 years old adult male with alleged history of diazepam and paraquat poisoning was admitted with complaints of chest discomfort, epigastric pain, vomiting and drowsiness. The patient developed acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) and expired on the next day. To conclude, diazepam even though considered to be a safer drug, has risk of drug abuse and is fatal when taken in overdose along with other central nervous system depressants. Paraquat is a highly toxic compound widely used as herbicide and ingestion of the drug causes death due to respiratory failure. Conclusion: The present study emphasizes on the proper surveillance of diazepam intake in known psychiatric patients and strict rules must be enforced by the Government on marketing of herbicides and pesticides
