A CRITICAL REVIEW ON GUILLAIN BARRE SYNDROME (ACUTE INFLAMMATORY DEMYELINATING POLYNEUROPATHY- AIDP) AND THEIR MANAGEMENT

Guillain- Barre Syndrome is serious health problem, that occurs when the body`s defence system mistakenly attacks parts of the nervous system. In about 50% of people with these syndrome symptoms begin about 5 days to 3 weeks after a mild infection symptoms include weakness and pin and needle sensation or loss of sensation. It is form of polyneuropathy that cause one episode of increasing muscle weakness. Weakness is more prominent than abnormal sensation reflex. Usually weakness begins both legs and moves up the body. In GBS, the body`s immune system attacks the myelin sheath which surround the axon of many nerves and enable nerve impulses to travel quickly. It may lead to life threatening complication in particular if respiratory muscles are affected or if the autonomic nervous system is involved. Worldwide, the annual incidence is about 0.6- 4.0 occurrences per 1,00,000 people. Electromyography and nerve conduction studies can help confirm the diagnosis. Plasmapheresis or immunoglobulin given intravenously may speed recovery. GBS as such is not correlated with any disease which is described in Ayurveda but pathology of GBS is Vata dominating disorder along with association of Pitta and Kapha dosha. As a precipitating factor produced functions of GI biofire plays an important role by producing Ama like reactive species in genesis of this disease. So at the management of GBS through Ayurveda anti-Vata and anti-Ama measures kept in mind while prescribing the drug

Flexible Service Oriented Network Architecture for Wireless Sensor Networks

Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is a combination of homogeneous andheterogeneous sensor nodes which are physically deployed at different places. HeterogeneousWSM can be characterized with different parameters such as hardwareresources, application, services, software platform and network. WSN are powerfultechnology, which is used to build up many applications in the era of technologicaldevelopment. These developments demand homogeneous or heterogeneous services asper the user requirements at applications level. The requirement results in increasingthe number of services over the network and hence the number of complexities.Complexities of wireless sensor networks are increasing due to the lack of adoption ofnew services, new protocols and interoperability between heterogeneous services withcommon communication architecture. This paper deals with these issues of wirelesssensor networks, elaborating the need of generalized communication architecture forapplications, developers and users, proposing generalized Flexible Service OrientedNetwork Architecture (FSONA) to solve above issues along with the detailed functionalityof the proposed architecture

Eco-physiological studies on Indian arid zone plants - V. A. Screening of some species for the C₄-pathway of photosynthetic CO₂-fixation.

Plants of the Indian desert belonging to 29 families, 85 genera and 105 species of angiosperms were screened for the possible occurrence of the C4-pathway of photosynthetic CO2-fixation. The criteria used for screening were leaf anatomy and/or δ13C values. The results indicated the occurrence of the C4-pathway in members of 3 new families (Acanthaceae, Cleomaceae, Scrophulariaceae), 10 new genera (Aerva, Anticharis, Blepharis, Elyonurus, Glossocardia1, Gynandropsis, Melanocenchris, Sehima, Sesuvium, Zalaeya) and 34 new species of the angiosperms. All the grasses investigated were found to possess the C4-pathway. Cuscuta hyalina, a phloem-parasite, growing on C4 hosts (Tribulus, Zalaeya) also revealed δ13C value very close to that found in the host plants

The photosynthetic pathway types of some desert plants from India, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Iraq.

Plants collected from different habitats in the deserts of India, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Iraq were screened for their photosynthetic CO2-fixation pathways using δ13C and δD values. The analyses comprised 128 species belonging to 108 genera and 46 families. Neither the C4 nor the CAM pathway was prevalent in the plant families analyzed except in Poaceae, where C4 metabolism absolutely dominated. Of 93 dicotyledonous plants, only 10 exhibited a C4 pathway and only 2 were CAM plants. The study shows that some species reported by other workers as C4 plants are clearly C3 ones
