RESUMEN
The Jodhpur district a part of Thar Desert is very rich in medicinal plant wealth. The medicinal plants of this region have great potential to be used in drug and pharmaceutical industries. These herbal plants have been used by local people, tribal communities, vendors, native doctors such as Ojhas, Bhagats Bhopas and experts of Ayurvedic fields since long time in herbal and folk remedies. Kalbelia, Nats, Bhils, Raika, Bhopas, Banjara, Gadolia-Lohar, Saharia and Meena communities of this district have a rich knowledge of plants based traditional medicines. Ten ethnomedicinal plants like Cleome gynandra Linn., Clerodendrum phlomidis Linn., Cassia angustifolia Vahl., Echinops echinatus Roxb., Leucas aspera (Willd.) Spreng., Mimosa hamata Willd., Moringa oleifera Lamk., Pedalium murex Linn., Peganum harmala Linn., Sida cordifolia Linn. have been selected for this research work. The present investigation is aimed to create awareness about the ethnomedicinal value of the plants and their uses to draw the attention of pharmacologists, phytochemists and pharmaceuticals.

RESUMEN
Ascorbic acid contents of stems, leaves and fruits from four selected exotic tree species like Colophospermum mopane, Holoptelea integrifolia, Kigelia pinnata and Putranjiva roxburghii have been analysed. Maximum ascorbic acid contents were found in the fruits of Colophospermum mopane (42.10mg/100g.d.w.) while, minimum in the stems of Kigelia plnnata (22.15mg/100g.d.w).
RESUMEN
Evaluation of flavonoid contents from four selected exotic tree species like Colophospermum mopane, Holoptelea integrifolia, Kigelia pinnata and Putranjiva roxburghii growing in Rajasthan Desert was carried out. The leaves of selected trees were analysed for flavonoid contents i.e. Quercetin and Kaempferol. Flavonoid contents like Quercetin and Kaempferol were isolated and identified. The maximum total flavonoid contents (17.10mg./gdw) was found in leaves of Putranjiva roxburghii while minimum (9.20mg./gdw) in leaves of Holoptelea integrifolia.
RESUMEN
Antimicrobial screening of ethyl ether and alcoholic extracts of leaves of four selected exotic tree species growing in Rajasthan Desert was carried out. Colophospermum mopane, Holoptelea integrifolia, Kigelia pinnata and Putranjiva roxburghii showed positive reactions against bacterial pathogens i.e. Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and a fungal pathogen Candida albicans.
RESUMEN
Ascorbic acid contents of roots, shoots and fruits of three selected medicinal plants like Capparis decidua, Cleome gynandra and Cleome viscosa of family Capparidaceae have been analysed. Maximum ascorbic acid contents were found in the fruits of Capparis decidua (108.12mg/100g.d.w.) while, minimum in the roots of Cleome viscosa (62.25mg/100g.d.w).
RESUMEN
Antimicrobial screening of ethyl ether and alcoholic extracts of leaves of three selected medicinal plant species of capparidaceae family growing in North–Western Rajasthan was carried out. Capparis decidua, Cleome gynandra and Cleome viscosa showed positive reactions against bacterial pathogens i.e. Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and a fungal pathogen Candida albicans.
RESUMEN
Evaluation of flavonoid contents from three selected medicinal plant species of capparidaceae family growing in North–Western Rajasthan was carried out.

The maximum total flavonoid contents (1.16mg./gdw) was found in leaves of Capparis decidua while minimum (0.71mg./gdw) in leaves of Cleome viscosa.
RESUMEN
Direct laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation frequently induces a cardiovascular stress response due to reflex symbathetic stimulation. This response may be hazardous in patients with Hypertension, Coronary artery disease, Myocardial disease, cerebrovascular disease. Numerous agents have therefore been utilized to blunt this response. The present study was undertaken in view of above mentioned facts, to compare effectiveness of intravenous esmolol and lignocaine in suppressing the cardiovascular stress response. Patients were divided in to three groups of 20 patients each. Group-C did not receive any drug under study. Group-L received lignocaine and Group-E received esmolol three minutes before intubation. All the groups were observed for changes in haemodynamic parameters i.e. heart rate (HR) systolic and diastolic blood pressure every minute after intubation till 5 minutes post intubation. It was found that patients given esmolol had better attenuation of stress response to laryngoscopy and intubation than patients given lignocaine.
RESUMEN
The objective of the present study was to compare the analgesic efficacy and side effects of butorphanol and tramadol.Equianalgesic doses of butorphanol (1mg) and tramadol (1mg/Kg) were compared in 50 adult patients (ASA-I) undergoing any kind of surgery requiring general anesthesia. The patients were divided into two groups of 25 each (n = 25). One of the study drugs (butorphanol/tramadol) was given intravenously just prior to induction of anesthesia in a double blind fashion. Following induction with standard doses of propofol/thiopentone Na and succinyl choline and intubation, anaesthesia was maintained with N2O/O2/Halothane. Heart rate and blood pressure were recorded from preoperative to post operative period in the recovery room and the frequency of side effects was noted by the trained nursing staff on duty following direct questioning of the patients. The proportion of patients with moderate to severe pain during postoperative period was significantly higher in tramadol group as compared to butorphanol group (p< 0.05). Time to first rescue analgesic was significantly prolonged in butorphanol group compared to tramadol group. The incidence of side effects was comparable in both the groups.To conclude according to our study, butorphanol is a very effective analgesic and contributes to balanced anaesthesia.
