Wireless Pressure Measurement and Power Generation Using Sensor

This paper has implemented and designed for measurement of pressure using wireless and applied it for our day-to-day power requirements. The pressure acts between the skin surface and its supporting surface that humans experience during daily activities. Here, we prefer sensors to measure the pressure, voltage and angle. Piezoelectric sensors are used for measure the pressure & voltage through LCD. Micro-Electro Mechanical Sensor (MEMS) is used to measure the speed from the 3D angle values. The Controller is developed to interface the Micro-electromechanical (MEMS) sensors and piezoelectric sensors that have been designed for analysis the pressure and get power during the body movement. By using the zigbee module, the analyzed pressure is transmitted and stored in the PC. The great advantage of this project is that it doesn’t require any external power supply. Using the DC-DC booster it can increase the generated voltage and stored in battery. It provides power supply for this device and some electronic applications. Such device provides low power consumption, convenient and comfortable testing system

VOICE RECOGNIZATION FOR MOUSE CONTROL USING HCI

One  of  the  most  important  research  areas  in  the  field  of  Human -Computer-Interaction (HCI) is gesture  recognition as it provides a natural and intuitive  way  to  communicate  between  people  and  machines.  Voice-based HCI applications range from computer applications to virtual/augmented reality and is recently being explored in other fields. This work proposes the implementation of absolute virtual mouse based on the interpretation of voice reorganization control. The procedure is to control the mouse pointer as for the mouse movement to up/down/left/right, open the file, dragging the file. This  virtual  device  is designed  specifically  as  an  alternative non-contact  pointer  for  people  with mobility impairments in the upper extremities. The implementation of the virtual mouse by voice control is to make HCI simplification for disabled persons especially for the person who are not having the hands and arms, and Alternative mouse cursor positioning system for laptops

Analysis of adverse drug reactions encountered in a tertiary care hospital: a cross sectional study

Background: Adverse drug reactions are due to hazards of drug therapy and can occur with any class of drugs. The aim of this study was to evaluate and record adverse drug reactions reported from various departments of a tertiary care hospital.Methods: A Cross Sectional study conducted in a tertiary care hospital for a period of 4 months from March to June 2017 after Institutional Ethics Committee approval. ADRs reports collected and analyzed for causality, severity and preventability by international standardized scales.Results: A total of 38 ADR’s were reported during the study period with male predominance (58%). Most of the ADR’s (42%) were common in patients in the age group 19-39 years. More number of ADR’s were from Medicine (29%). Most commonly affected organ systems were skin (45%). The drugs mostly accounted were antibiotics (55%) especially Cephalosporins (33%). According to Naranjo’s causality assessment scale 74% of reactions were probable, 26% were possible, Modified Hartwig and Seigel severity assessment scale revealed 45% ADRs to be moderate, 42% were mild and 13% were severe, Modified Schumock and Thorton Preventability assessment scale which revealed 61% ADRs were not preventable, 32% were probably preventable,7% were definitively preventable.Conclusions: Adverse Drug Reactions are common and some of them resulted in increased healthcare cost due to need of some interventions and increased length of hospital stay. The health system should promote the spontaneous reporting of ADR’s. The proper documentation and periodic reporting to Pharmacovigilance Centres is required to ensure drug safety

CONSIDERATION OF RESOURCEFUL DATA AGGREGATION IN SENSING OF MOBILE SYSTEMS

Ad-hoc networks maintain routing among any pair of nodes while sensor networks encompass an additional dedicated communication prototype. Security concerns in ad-hoc networks are comparable to those within sensor networks and were enumerated in literature; however the defence method developed in support of ad-hoc networks is not unswervingly appropriate towards sensor networks. Because of restriction in bandwidth as well as buffer space, delay tolerant networks are susceptible to flood attacks. Although numerous schemes were projected to protect against flood attacks on Internet as well as in wireless networks, they believe constant connectivity moreover cannot be unswervingly applied to delay tolerant networks that have irregular connectivity. Networks of disruption tolerant consist of mobile nodes approved by human beings and networks facilitate data transport when mobile nodes are simply occasionally associated, making them suitable for functions where no communication transportation is accessible. We make use of rate limiting to protect against flood attacks within delay tolerant networks. Each node has an edge above packets that it, like a source node, can transmit towards network in every time period. Our fundamental idea of discovery is claim-carry-and-check. Proposed system works in a dispersed manner, does not depend on any online central authority or else infrastructure, which well suits environment of delay tolerant networks and employs well-organized constructions to maintain computation, communication as well as storage cost small

Screening of cetirizine for analgesic activity in mice

Background: Pain is the most common symptom for which patients approach doctors. We have multitude of drugs for pain relief, but they have serious side effects ranging from peptic ulcer (e.g. NSAIDs) to renal failure. The other group, opioids have well known side effects ranging from sedation to drug dependence. So a search for a drug for analgesia with high therapeutic effect and fewer side effects will be a boon for the patients. The objective of this study was to find whether cetirizine, a second generation antihistaminic drug, has got any analgesic activity in mice.Methods: Ten adult albino mice weighing 20-30 grams of either sex were randomized to two groups (n=5). Group I: control group (Treated with solvent 0.1 ml/kg), Group II: Test group (Cetirizine 1mg/kg). All drugs were given orally. The analgesic activity was evaluated by using tail flick, tail immersion and tail clip methods. Reaction time of animals to pain sensation before and after Cetirizine administration were noted at 0, 15, 30, 60 and 90 minutes time intervals respectively on Day 1, 3, 5, 7, 10.Results: Mean reaction time was expressed as Mean±SEM, and one way ANOVA was used to assess statistical significance. Cetirizine was found to have statistically significant analgesic effect in mice and time dependent increase in analgesic effect were observed in all three pain models and maximum analgesic activity was observed at 60 minutes (p<0.001) after drug administration.Conclusions: Through this study, Cetirizine, a second generation antihistamine, is found to have significant analgesic activity in mice. This effect has to be studied further elaborately in animals as well as in humans

Forensic Identification of Suspected Poached Wild Boar (Sus scrofa affinis)

A case of suspected wild boar death due to dynamite blast by poachers was received by us for confirmation. The skin sample was collected and examined histologically for identification based on hair follicle arrangement in the horizontal section of skin. The horizontal sections of skin from both domestic and wild boar was stained in order to study the distribution of hair follicles. Linear arrangement of hair follicles comprising three primary follicles in a row was observed in both domestic and suspected wild boar. Based on circumstantial evidence it was concluded that it may be belonging to wild boar

Preclinical toxicological evaluation of Aloe vera health drinks in wistar rats

Human consumption of Aloe vera as a beverage has recently increased in popularity. These benefits are controversial with some sources pointing out that the putative effects of aloe are unsupported by clinical studies; it is important that marketed products be tested for toxicities following oral consumption. Hence this study was designed to evaluate the toxicological effect of marketed aloe health drinks. Thirty either sex Wistar rats (200-300gm) were enrolled in this study and are divided into 5 groups. Group I receives Normal saline serves as vehicle control, Group II and III receives Product A- Low dose (0.5 ml twice daily, p.o) and High dose (1.0 ml twice daily, p.o) respectively. Group IV and V receives Product B- Low dose (0.5 ml twice daily, p.o) and High dose (1.0 ml twice daily, p.o) respectively. Weekly body weight and daily feed intake were measured. On 28th day total urine output volume, faecal consistency, Haematological, biochemical, and organ weight were measured to assess the toxicity of aloe health drinks. The result of this study shows that continuous usage of aloe health drinks showed milder weight reduction, significant improvement in erythropoiesis also it increases the WBC count and increases the weight of spleen it may confirm the immune modulatory effect of aloe health drink. At the higher doses, it increased the SGOT, SGPT, serum urea and creatinine it may lead to the hepatotoxicity and nephrotoxicity. In gastrointestinal tract on prolonged uses, it produced few lesions and diarrhoea. It might be concluded that prolonged consumption of unprocessed aloe health drink contains latex, an ingredient which has many health risks associated with it. So it can aggravate health problems

Influence of Temperature and Humidity on Pregnancy Rate of Murrah Buffaloes under Subtropical Climate

Heat stress has adverse effects on fertility of dairy animals. Decline in fertility is linearly associated with an increase in combination of both temperature and humidity. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between temperature humidity index (THI) and the pregnancy rate of Murrah buffaloes in a subtropical climate. The effects of genetic and non-genetic factors viz., sire, parity, period of calving and age group at first calving were found non-significant on pregnancy rate. The effect of THI was found significant (p<0.001) on pregnancy rate of Murrah buffaloes calved for first time and overall pregnancy rate. The threshold THI affecting the pregnancy rate was identified as THI 75. The months from October to March showed THI<75 and considered as non heat stress zone (NHSZ), while months from April to September were determined as heat stress zone (HSZ) with THI≥75. The lowest overall pregnancy rate (0.25) was obtained in July with THI 80.9, while the highest overall pregnancy rate (0.59) was found in November with THI 66.1. May and June were identified as critical heat stress zone (CHSZ) within the HSZ with maximum decline (−7%) in pregnancy rate with per unit increase in THI. The highest overall pregnancy rate was estimated as 0.45 in NHSZ with THI value 56.7 to 73.2. The pregnancy rate was found to have declined to 0.28 in HSZ with THI 73.5 to 83.7. However, the lowest pregnancy rate was estimated as 0.27 in CHSZ with THI value 80.3 to 81.6

Polymorphism study of TLR4 gene in crossbred cattle of Kerala

The present study was conducted to identify single nucleotide variations in exon 3 region of the bovine Toll-Like Receptor gene (TLR4) associated with somatic cell score (SCS) in crossbred cattle of Kerala using polymerase chain reaction-single stranded conformational polymorphisms (PCR-SSCP) technique. Blood samples were collected from 200 lactating crossbred cattle in different farms of Kerala Veterinary and Animal Sciences University (KVASU) and field centres of ICAR- FPT scheme, KVASU. Genomic DNA was isolated and polymorphisms were identified by SSCP analysis. The 231 bp fragment of exon 3 in TLR4 gene was found to polymorphic and two genotypes viz. CC and CD were obtained with frequencies 77 per cent and 23 per cent respectively. The frequencies of C and D allele in crossbred were found to be 0.88 and 0.12. On sequencing, C to T transition had led to one non-synonymous change at 2021th position of ORF. Cattle with CC genotype were associated with significantly lower SCS (p≤0.05) as compared to CD genotype. The association between TLR4 polymorphism and SCS described in this study suggests the possible role of SNP during mastitis infection. Thus, could be employed as a useful marker for genetic selection to promote mastitis resistance in dairy cattle
