In vitro studies on indigenous medicine for urolithiasis: Efficacy of aqueous extract of Aerva lanata (Linn.) Juss. Ex Schult on growth inhibition of calcium hydrogen phosphate dihydrate.

Aerva lanata (L.) Juss. ex Schult., is one of the medicinal plants widely used by traditional healers for the treatment of urolithiasis. A perusal of literature revealed that no studies have so far been undertaken to evaluate its efficacy against Calcium Hydrogen Phosphate Dihydrate (CHPD) or brushite type urinary crystals. Hence, an attempt is made in this study to assess the validity of this indigenous knowledge by using in vitro single diffusion gel growth technique. The morphology of CHPD crystals was studied by microscopy. The structural and chemical changes of the treated crystals were assessed by FTIR, XRD, TGA/DTA and SEM/ EDX analysis. The study revealed that aqueous extract of Aerva lanata is very effective to make structural changes and reduction in size of the brushite type urinary crystals

A cross sectional study assessing six different methods to predict the ideal position of umbilical venous catheters in neonates of different weight categories

 Background: This was  a cross sectional study  done to find the most suitable method of assessing umbilical venous catheter (UVC)  length in seventy two neonates of four different weight categories using  six methods.Methods: Neonates were grouped into A (upto 1 kg), B (>1-1.5 kg), C (>1.5-2.5 kg) or  D (>2.5 kg)  based on their birth weight. UVC was placed using Shukla-Ferrara method and x-ray taken to finalize the catheter length. The predicted catheter length was also measured by  Dunn method, umbilicus to nipple length, umbilicus to xiphisternum length, umbilicus to midpoint of inter mammary distance, and umbilicus to symphysis pubis length. ANOVA test was used to find the methods which did not have statistically significant difference with the final length from x-ray (p>0.5). The method with the least mean difference from final length was taken as the most suitable.Results: UVC length assessed by Shukla Ferrara method and umbilicus to midpoint of inter mammary distance did not have statistically significant difference with final catheter length on x-ray in all groups. UVC length assessed by Dunn method did not have statistically significant difference with final catheter length on x-ray in group A, C and D while UVC length assessed by umbilicus to nipple length did not have statistically significant difference in group D.Conclusions: Umbilicus to the midpoint of inter-mammary distance was the most suitable method to estimate length of insertion of UVC in neonates.

Kondisi Sanitasi Terminal Mabu’un Kabupaten Tabalong

Abstract: Sanitary Conditions Terminal Mabu'un Tabalong. One impact of the terminal is the possibility of disease transfer and transmission of vector -borne diseases through the means of conveyance . This study aims to determine the sanitary conditions in the Terminal Mabu'un Tabalong . Data were collected in the form of frequency tabulation then analyzed descriptively and compared with the requirements according to DEPKES DITJEN . PPM and PLP 1999. The result show that the sanitation in Terminal Mabu'un Tabalong including healthy feasible for terminal infrastructure with a yield of 86.0 percent of ≤ 75 percent of the specified conditions. However there are several aspects that need attention sanitation ie from outside environmental health aspects, sanitation space and buildings , sanitary facilities and food sanitation . Efforts are being made to improve sanitation in Terminal Mabu'un Tabalong like doing cleaning around the terminal, power supply cleaning service for the reception area , increasing the number of bins, sanitary inspection terminals and provide counseling . Keywords : Health environment, sanitation value , sanitation termina

Check list of fishes of the Gulf of Mannar ecosystem, Tamil Nadu, India

Gulf of Mannar Ecosystem (GOME) covers an area spread over Rameswaram and Kanyakumari for about 19000 km2 and lies between 78°11’E and 79°15’ E longitude and 8°49’N and 9°15’N latitude. The 21 coral islands form a network of habitats for different kinds of fishes and marine organisms. Fish samples were collected during April 2005 to March 2010 from different centers viz., Vembar, Tharuvaikulam, Vellapatti, Therespuram, Tuticorin, Alangarathattu, Pazhaykayal, Punnakayal, Kayalpattinam, Veerapandiapattinam, Thiruchendur and Manappad of Gulf of Mannar ecosystem. The present check list was the first attempt to produce a systematic list of fishes found in the Gulf of Mannar ecosystem. It includes 476 genera and 1182 species in 144 families and 39 orders, of which 628 species have been recorded in the present study
