The insecticidal activity of essential oils obtained from methanol extracts of Piper nigrum L. (Piperaceae) and Psoralea corylifolia (Fabaceae) against Epilachna insect and Mustard aphids (Lipaphis erysimi) was investigated in a series of laboratory experiments. Insecticidal activity was determined at 25 ± 4⁰C and 70 ± 5% R.H., in dark conditions. The methanol extracts of the dried seeds of the plants were subjected to hydrodistillation using a Clevenger type apparatus. The major components in these essential oils are identified using GC-MS spectroscopy and their insecticidal activity was tested. The predominant components in the oil of Piper nigrum are Methyl benzene, deltaelemene, alpha- copane, caryophyllene, alpha caryophyllene, beta bisabolene and delta cadinene where as the predominant components in the oil of Psoralea corylifolia are toluene, alpha-pinene, L-beta-pinene, beta-pinene, 3- carene, limonene, Gamma terpinene, terpinolene, alpha santolina alcohol, 4-terpineol, Cyclohexene, 1-methyl-4-(1- methyl ethenyl), caryophyllene, alpha caryophyllene, thumbergene. The mortality rate of the agricultural pests was checked against 1%, 5% and 10% conc. of essential oil. The essential oil from Psoralea corylifolia and Piper nigrum shows strong toxic effect against Epilachna insect where as that from Psoralea corylifolia and Piper nigrum were significantly less effective against Mustard aphids (Lipaphis erysimi). Finding insecticidal activity is of great importance as using plant extracts as insecticides, are biodegrable and do not leave toxic residues.Keywords

Chrome Kidney Disease (CKD) is a progressive, debilitating, chronic illness that affects quality of life, potentially influencing physical and mental health, functional status, independence, general well-being, personal relationships and social functioning. Not only does it cause significant morbidity, but it also has a high mortality. Because of the costs and the complexity of its treatment, very few patients are able to obtain adequate treatment, and CKD places a heavy financial burden on any society. Because it requires life-long treatment in the form of renal replacement therapy, the quality of life (QOL) of patients may significantly impair. Studies have revealed that patient education can play a significant role in improving the QOL in these patients. The aim of the study was to find the influence of Stress on general Well-being in Haemodialysis (HD) patients and to identify the effectiveness of Positive Therapy. Purposive Sampling method was used to collect data from 40 HD Patients using Stress Inventory (Hemalatha and Nandhini, 2004) and General Well-being Index (WHO, 1998). All the patients, who had high Stress and low General Well-being were given psychological intervention called Positive Therapy over a period of 2 weeks followed by reassessment. Patients receiving HD identified limitations in a number of areas including vitality and significantly lower physical functioning. The results revealed that many patients had high stress due to fear, worry and anger about the illness. Positive Therapy helped to bring down theme an stress of the sample from high(22.55) to low (6.22). The result also reveals that 89% of the subjects had an enormous improvement in their General Well-being after undergoing Positive Therapy.Keywords

Early education program are designed to enhance physical and psychological competence of the individual. The Present research made an attempt to study the forward movement in the five areas; Socialization, Language, Self help, Cognitive and Motor skills, of entry behavior. This investigation is experimental in nature and is designed on the lines of pretest, post test control group design. A Sample of 20 children of 3 to 6 years with different disabilities were drawn from rehabilitation centre, schools for disabled children and some from other places, purposely selected. Two groups were formulated as experimental and control group respectively. Each child's base line behavior achievement percentage (%) recording was done through early education training by portage guide and their progress in entry behavior was frequently observed for six month. After six months early education effect was administrated. The result indicates a significant development and improvement in the level of socialization, language, self help, cognitive and motor skills of children with disability, if we train them through the early education programme, improvement will be shown in the entry behavior of disabled children.Keywords

Tuberculosis is an infectious disease. It is caused by bacteria Mycobacterium Tuberculosis. It can be diagnosed by demonstrating AFB by either phenotypic method like sputum smear microscopy, culture or by genotypic method like NAAT or LPA. For better results there should be a good quality sputum sample. Induction of sputum is a method for improving the quality of sample. The most commonly used method is induction using 3% saline. It has been seen that during taking throat swab specimen patients usually produce cough. This induced cough can produce better quality of sputum. The following study was done to know about the role of throat swab as a method of sputum induction.Keywords

Introduction: Spirometry helps us to differentiate between obstructive and restrictive disease, body plethysmography tells about lung volumes and DLCO about diffusion defect. Determining which tests to do depends on the clinical question to be answered i.e. whether test is being done to diagnose a disease or for evaluation for lung surgery or some other reason. Material and Method: 46 patients coming to department of respiratory medicine, who were diagnosed with obstructive lung disease by PFT as per GOLD guidelines were considered for the study. Chest X-ray and CT chest were also done. Then DLCO was performed in every patient. Single breath hold method was used in the study. The report of the DLCO was interpreted according to the American Thoracic Society/European Respiratory Society statement on PFT interpretation. Results: Male preponderance was seen in study cases with 65.2% males to 34.8% females. Mean age of the study group was 54.39 years with most cases (18) from 31-50 years of age group. Most common diagnosis was COPD emphysema (22) followed by chronic bronchitis (12), bronchial asthma (10) and bronchiectasis (2). Among obstructive lung diseases, B. asthma had the highest mean DLCO percentage predicted of 102.20 ± 14.36 followed by COPD-Bronchitis (76.33±5.57), COPD–Emphysema (37.80±13.41) and bronchiectasis (62±4.48). Conclusion: DLCO can be helpful beyond spirometry in classification of obstructive lung diseases. DLCO values in COPD Emphysema variant are decreased, COPD bronchitis variant remains normal or slightly reduced and asthma either normal or increased. So, DLCO can help in differentiation or sub categorization of obstructive disease more than spirometry.Keywords

Aim: To study the prevalence of obstructive airway disease in patient of OSA diagnosed by polysomnography. Method: This study is a descriptive cross-sectional and was carried out in patients admitted in the department of Respiratory Medicine who were diagnosed with OSA after polysomnography. Total 41 patients who were diagnosed as cases of obstructive sleep apnea were clinically evaluated and investigated by history taking and final diagnosis were made as either COPD, Asthma on basis of GOLD and GINA guidelines respectively. Results: Mean age of the study participants was 50.95 years. Prevalence of Asthma and COPD among cases with OSA was 58.5% and 14.6%.Mean AHI and ESS score was 42.45 and 16.80 respectively. The most common co-morbid condition was GERD (19.5%). Conclusion: Present study concluded that asthma is more prevalent than COPD in patients of obstructive sleep apnea. The main factors associated with Obstructive lung diseases and its pathogenesis is the obesity, hypertension, smoking habits, adenoids, tonsillitis, musculoskeletal changes, weakness and atrophy of muscles of upper respiratory tract.Keywords

Sputum examination is the most widely used test for diagnosis of TB. Under RNTCP two samples of sputum are required for examinations which are preferably 1st spot and early morning sample or two spot samples collected on the same day. Patients usually come from far off places at the tertiary care centre and frequent visits are usually not possible. Giving an early morning sample is usually defaulted by the patient due to various reasons. The present study was aimed at studying the delay in giving the early morning sample and barriers in accessing the sputum smear microscopy services at a tertiary care hospital. In this study 300 presumptive TB patients were studied. Patients were asked to give a 1st spot sample for sputum smear examination and asked to bring early morning sputum sample. Patients who refused to give early morning sample were asked to give 2nd spot sample and the reason for not coming early morning were noted. The patients who did not come despite agreeing to come were noted. If they came after a delay of few days, then also the reason of delay were noted. It was found that nearly one third (31%) of the patients agreed and came on the next day to give early morning sample. A large number of patients (16%) did not come at all to give the early morning sample.Keywords
