These antibodies are traditionally referred to as 'reagins'.

It means having access to clean water and proper sanitation. It means having primary schools nearby that educate children, free of charge. It means changing the world with children, ensuring their right to participate, and that their views are heard and considered. It means building a world fit for children, where every child can grow to adulthood in health, peace and dignity but with increasing population there is increase in poverty, illiteracy, poor housing and poor standards of living. The overall perspective of health problems in our country is dominated by overpopulation. The brunt of this strain is felt by the vulnerable groups, i.e. mothers and children. Although a lot of research has been done in the field of maternal and child health, from the very beginning, it was the mother who got the main attention. The 'at risk' pregnancy was the chief concern with final aim of a healthy mother. The sub-area of MCH, 'a healthy baby' was neglected. 1

The emerging experience with Polymyxin B, indicated that up to half of the patients receiving this drug presented nephrotoxicity. More recent studies using standardized criteria for AKI, such as Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO), Acute Kidney Injury Network (AKIN) and Risk, Injury, Failure, Loss of kidney function, and End-stage kidney disease (RIFLE), have been published, among which, a recent metaanalysis showed that the occurrence of AKI remained undesirably high with mean rates of 31.3%, 32.6% and 39.4%, respectively. Polymyxins act primarily upon the external and cytoplasmic membranes, with similar action to that of simple cationic detergents. The mechanism of action is thought to be based on surfactant activity, which disrupts the bacterial outer and cytoplasmic membranes. Polymyxin B is used at the dose of 1.5 to 2.5 mg/kg/day (1.0 mg of polymyxin B = 1...

The present study was done to evaluate the efficacy of Bimbi (Coccinia indica) in the patients of Diabetes mellitus type-2 through single blind study. Total 30 patients were selected and divided into two groups, 15 patients in each group i.e., A (Bimbi) & B (Barley). In this study it has been found that Madhumeha affects not only in elderly people but in adults too with slight female preponderance. The present study confirmed that after the treatment of 60 days, Bimbi (Coccinia indica) was found effective in treatment of Madhumeha and reduced majority of the symptoms of illness that including Prabootha mootrata (Excessive urination), Atitrushna (Excessive thirst), Avila mootrata (Turbid urine) and Dourbalya (Weakness). There was significant improvement in all the laboratory parameters in patients of Bimbi (Coccinia indica) treated group. The outcome showed that mean reduction in fastin...

The health status of children serves as sensitive indicator of overall health of entire community. The major causes of deaths in the age group 0-5 years are preventable. At Risk group is a group of individuals in whom the frequency of risk factors is more than the other groups. It is therefore necessary to identify particularly those 'At…

To effortlessly approach each other to communicate people can use the new technology i.e. web real-time communication (WebRTC). Our real-time communication system will provide virtual voice rooms to users to audio chat in groups or peer to peer using technologies like WebRTC, Node.js, Web Sockets and React.js. On the basis of a range of topics, users can create public/private rooms and join them as well. The implications of this study are better than the previous projects.

This deterioration in PQ hassparked a new interest in the filtering techniques used in the power systemfor mitigating these problems. In contrast to conventional passive filters now active power filters (APFs) are being looked as the predominant solution.This paper presents a state-estimation based effective compensation strategy for enhancing performance of employed APF scheme. A novel control technique for PQ enhancement is proposed where Kalman filtering approach has been applied for generating the reference signals. Also, an adaptive hysteresis band technique has been applied here in the switching strategy. Thus an enhanced filter performance is achieved with reduced complexity and better elimination of distortions. Simulated results obtained in MATLAB/Simulink platform have been analyze...

In the earlier times, there was no effective prophylaxis against rabies, the disease caused by rabid animals, and hence, people had deep seated fear of a painful death. However, despite having the vaccine and new knowledge about prevention of rabies, there is seemingly no lowering of the apprehension among the people from the dog bite, as is evidenced from this rare study of its own type. In view of the noticed and noticeable fears of adverse outcome, it is desired and suggested by this study that there has to be a justified attention towards alleviating the suffering of those affected and their families through appropriate treatment, counseling and follow-up.

Aqueous extracts were prepared from leaves, stems and barks of the plants. The initial screening of antimicrobial activity was performed by the agar diffusion method. Minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimal bactericidal concentrations were determined using broth dilution method. Time-kill curve were also determined on cells in suspension. The initial screening of antimicrobial activity evidenced that leaves extracts from M. ilicifolius, P. americana, J. cuspidifolia and bark extracts of P. rotundifolia were active on some strains but not all tested microorganisms. Only leaves, bark and stems extracts of M. urundeuva and P. cattleianum were able to inhibit all tested strains. The inhibitory activities of M. urundeuva and P. cattleianum were similar. In general, MBCs were four up to thirty two times higher than MICs. Time-kill curve of the extract...
