ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION: A stoma is defined as an opening into a hollow viscus either natural or surgically created which connects a portion of body cavity to the external environment[1]. Ileostomy or colostomy creation is a crucial part of numerous surgical procedures carried out for a variety of gastrointestinal problems. Despite the frequent occurrence of intestinal stomas, stoma-related problems are still frequent and are associated with high morbidity and expense. OBJECTIVE: The objective if this article is to understand these frequent issues, go into depth about how to prevent or avoid them, and provide management advice. METHOD: Prospective RESULTS: Peristomal skin complications and parastomal hernia were the most common complications. End colostomy had the highest incidence of morbidity, followed by loop colostomy and loop ileostomy. CONCLUSIONS: Ileostomy and colostomy forms are frequently done procedures, but sadly they are linked to high morbidity and stoma-related complication rates that range from 21 to 70%. It has been demonstrated that preoperative entero-stomal therapy consultation and stoma site labelling by either an entero-stomal therapist or skilled surgeon lessen postoperative problems. In addition, it is crucial to pay close attention to the technical aspects of stoma production. In order to definitively address concerns concerning the optimal trephine size, the use of prophylactic mesh, and other aspects of stoma creation, additional randomized trials are required. Clinical wound ostomy nurse specialists are extremely helpful following surgery, and the use of standardized protocols has further helped to reduce the frequency of common problems and readmissions for dehydration.
ABSTRACT
Aim: The study aimed to develop and validate weather based prediction model for beet armyworm (Spodoptera exigua) population in chickpea through adult catches in pheromone traps. Methodology: The data on adult trap catches of S. exigua were recorded daily and weekly means were computed. Log transformed trap catches data were used for correlation with weather parameters of current week, 1-lag, 2-lag and 3-lag weeks. Thereafter, multiple-linear regression analysis was done and a model was developed. The prediction model of S. exigua was validated with the appropriate statistical tools. Results: Peak incidence of S. exigua was recorded during 45th standard meteorological week (SMW) with 15.6 moths per trap per week. Amongst current, 1-lag, 2-lag and 3-lag week weather parameters, the male moth population had significant positive correlation with maximum temperature (Tmax) and minimum temperature (Tmin), and negative correlation with morning relative humidity (RH1) of 2-lag week. The sunshine hours/day (SSH) of current week had a significant negative association with S. exigua male moth catches, while the soil temperature (ST) of 2-lag week had highest positive correlation with trap catches. Regression equation was computed by regressing male moth catches of S. exigua against weather data of weeks with highest correlation coefficient. Interpretation: Often, pest-weather models are developed based on current week weather factors. However, it has been witnessed in this study that weather of preceding weeks (up to 3-lag) may also influence the pest population, and thus it needs to be considered for proper understanding of pest dynamics
ABSTRACT
Lack of knowledge and awareness about tuberculosis (TB) as well as Direct observed therapy short course (DOTS) area persistent and major community problem due top which suffering and mortality rate increases tremendously. So it is responsibility of pharmacists to develop a common awareness for prevention, care and treatment of TB in the community. This survey is strictly based on assessing the awareness about TB among undergraduate (UG) and postgraduate (PG) students of nonmedical stream in Institute of Foreign Trade and Management Ahmednagar (MH) India. In the present study 59.41% were male and 52.78% were female, 60.81% P.G. students and 54.31% U.G. students were answered among them. It represents that male student’s awareness were higher than the female students. The survey results also revealed that both U.G. and P.G. students of H.S.B.P.V.T., C.O.P. &.C.O.M. possed very poor knowledge about type of TB. Multi drug resistance (MDR) & mantaux test and the knowledge of UG students was very poor as compared to PG students. Pharmacists should realize their role in health education programs in the community to improve the public awareness about the health burden diseases like tuberculosis.
ABSTRACT
Since ancient times, plants have been an exemplary source of medicines. Researches conducted in last few decades on the plants mentioned in ancient literature or used as folk medicines have shown potential of phytoconstituents in treatement of various diseases. Spathodea campanulata is a plant that has been frequently used as a medicine which belongs to the genus Spathodea and family Bignoniaceae. Spathodea campanulata (Bignoniaceae) flowers and bark are used traditionally in the treatment of Mental disorders, Malaria, Hemorrhoids, Bacterial infections, HIV, Poor blood circulation, Gastro-intestinal diseases, Respiratory ailments, Genital-urinary system disorders etc. The Comparative Preliminary Phytochemical Screening Study of flowers and bark of Spathodea campanulata has been summarized in the present article.
