    Comparison and Validation of Optimal Path Lengths in the Presence of Elliptical Forbidden Regions between CGA and V-Rep

    This paper presents Comparison and Validation of Optimal path lengths in the presence of Elliptical Forbidden Regions between CGA and V-Rep simulation software. A systematic approach was made for developing results by applying a suitable CGA methodology that meets the solution requirements of routing problems that involve path planning procedures. CGA technique helps in reducing the evaluation time and also directly generates the shortest path for navigation to reach its destination point. The solutions thus obtained by CGA Technique absolutely agreed with the solutions by V-Rep and even produced optimal solutions when compared with V-Rep

    Oxidative stress appears to be an early event involved in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease. The present study was designed to investigate the neuroprotective effects of Centella asiatica against colchicine-induced memory impairment and oxidative damage in rats. Colchicine (15 μg/5 μL) was administered intracerebroventricularly in the lateral ventricle of male wistar rats. Morris water maze and plus-maze performance tests were used to assess memory performance tasks. Various biochemical parameters such as lipid peroxidation, nitrite, reduced glutathione, glutathione-S-transferase, superoxide dismutase, acetylcholinesterase were also assessed. ICV colchicine resulted marked memory impairment and oxidative damage. Chronic treatment with Centella asiatica extract (150 and 300 mg/kg, p.o.) for a period of 25 days, beginning 4 days prior to colchicine administration, significantly attenuated colchicine-induced memory impairment and oxidative damage. Besides, Centella asiatica significantly reversed colchicines administered increase in acetylcholinesterase activity. Thus, present study indicates protective effect of Centella asiatica against colchicine-induced cognitive impairment and associated oxidative damage

    Background: The heel pain is the most common problem worldwide and it was associated with plantar fasciitis (PF). The condition of treatment is very complex. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and injection of corticosteroids is the treatment of PF. This study was designed to access the effect of local PRP and local corticosteroid injection in PF patients.Methods: Sixty patients (between 29 to 60 years of age) with chronic PF were randomized prospectively in single tertiary care center in India. The study conducted from December 2013 to December 2015. All the patients were enrolled according to inclusion criteria and divided into two groups randomized. In group A (n=30) received PRP and group B (n=30) received corticosteroids injections. Visual analog scales (VAS) were filled by all the included patients. The follow-up scheduled at one and six months after complete enrolment of patients.Results: Between both the groups the significantly different observed at one and six months follow-up from the baseline. At one month follow-up significantly improvement in mean VAS score were observed in group B (p<0.001). At six months follow-up significantly improvement in mean VAS score were observed in group A (p<0.001).Conclusions: The present study concluded from the significance difference between both the groups proved promising form of treatment in chronic PF patients. Both the treatment was safe and effective in relieving pain improving function at different time period.
