Abstract: Bronchiolitis is an acute lower respiratory tract infection that occurs in children younger than two years old. It is generally a self-limiting condition usually caused by virus. Based on this a cross-sectional prospective observational study performed in Department of Paediatrics, at RMMCH, Annamalai University, TamilNadu, period of study 6 months; Between November 2015 and April 2016. Totally 81 patients in paediatrics ward with bronchiolitis who satisfy the inclusion.............

Abstract: The present experiment was carried out to study the effectof some inducers i.e. casein (0.5, 1, 1.5 and 2 g), gibberlic acid (0.1, 0.5,1 and 2 ppm) and sucrose(45,60, 75 and 90 g) on callus growth, terpenesproduction (ginkgolide A and bilobalide) and some biochemical constituents in Ginkgo biloba L. callus. Data showed that the highest callus induction was shown on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 1.0 mg/l of NAA and 1.0 mg/l kinetin. The highest amount.............

Abstract: In socio-cultural politico setting like India, access to or promotion of contraception among young adult is very limited. Educating young women about emergency contraception may help to prevent unwanted pregnancies. Unwanted pregnancy continues to be a significant public health issue and poses a major challenge to the reproductive health of women, and particularly among young adults in developing countries. Pregnancies that are unintended, at highest instance occurs between 18-24 years of age, because of which education to women about the contraceptive practices and............

Abstract: Length-Weight relationship (LWR) of Notopterus notopterus (Pallas), an important food fish has been conducted from Sukhna Lake, Chandigarh. 45 fish samples were collected during different months of study period i.e. June 2012- May 2014. The value of correlation coefficient between Total length (cm) and Total Weight (gm) has been found to be 0.657 significant at P≤0.01. The 'b' value between Total Length and Total Weight was found to be 3.57 which showed significant positive allometric growth. This is the first report on Length-Weight Relationship of Notopterus notopterus (Pallas) from Sukhna Lake, Chandigarh

Abstract: For morphometric analysis of Cirrhinus reba (Ham.), 80 fish specimens were collected during the period from June 2012 to May 2014 from Sukhna Lake, Chandigarh. Out of all 24 morphometric characters studied, three characters showed high positive correlation (above 0.90); eleven characters showed good correlation (0.75-0.90), five characters showed moderate correlation (0.50-0.75) and five characters showed poor correlation (0.25-0.50). On basis of percent range difference, fifteen characters were found to be genetically controlled (Range difference ≤ 10%) and nine morphometric characters belonged to intermediate category with range difference ranging between 10.00-14.99. No morphometric character was found to be environmentally controlled..

Abstract: Tuberculosis (TB) and Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) co-infection is a major public health challenge, especially in developing countries such as Nigeria. A descriptive, retrospective epidemiological study was conducted to assess TB and HIV co-infection and associated risk factors among patients in two (2) selected Directly Observed Treatment Short Course (DOTS) centres in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State over the course of 4 years (2013 - 2016). Of the 1704 patients, 946 (55.5%) were males and 758 (45.5%) were females. Compared to rural dwellers who were 704 (41.3%) urban dwellers..............

Abstract: The tuberculin skin test (Mantoux) is widely used in the diagnosis of M. tuberculosis infection and epidemiological surveys to estimate the prevalence of infection . But, still there is no clear understanding on other various risk factors such as that cause skin test positivity. This work was carried-out in a South Indian population to reveal the association of those other risk factors through medical examination with a questionnaire. Results reveal that the risk factor of 'Family member (or close contact) with TB' was significantly associated with the tuberculin reactivity..
