Background
Headache related to cervical spine is often misdiagnosed and treated inadequately because of confusing and varying terminology and is usually mistaken as other primary headache such as Tension Type Headache and Migraine. The diagnosis of Cervicogenic Headache is done by physical examination and by fulfilling the diagnostic criteria laid down by International Headache Society in 1990.
Objective
To estimate the prevalence of Cervicogenic Headache in general population of age group 18-30 years.
Study Design
The nature of design in this study was Survey design.
Setting of Study
The study was conducted at outpatient department of Sai Institute of Paramedical and Allied Health Science, Dehradun, capital of Uttrakhand, India.
Methods
A detailed questionnaire was provided to 981 subjects (mostly students) of different collages in Dehradun. A group of 69 subjects were identified who fulfilled the inclusion criteria of study.5 subjects dropped out. So 64 subjects were eventually interviewed and examined with respect to International Headache Society criteria for Cervicogenic Headache (the radiological criterion was omitted on ethical ground).
Result
Out of 64 patients examined 10 fulfilled the International Headache Society diagnostic criteria for Cervicogenic Headache equivalent to a prevalence of 15.6% in population with frequent headache and 1.70% in general population. Interpretation and Conclusion Cervicogenic Headache appears to be relatively common form of headache in prevalence in individuals of age group 18- 30 years.

Through this article effort has been made to identify key regulatory tasks and objectives of RBI as regulator of key financial markets. The Increase in systemic risk due to greater integrity of the Indian market with the global market and with emergence of new markets and instruments have made the task of regulator most difficult as it has to constantly keep up pace with the changing marketplace and prescribe new regulatory safeguards for all market participants. The effort is to make unregulated or poorly regulated markets & instruments under better regulation. However, there are border problem between regulators over the domain of the financial markets & institutions. The paper tries to discuss the policy dilemmas and option to tackle emerging challenges, need to revisit the regulatory framework to make it more effective. It also discusses Pro-cyclicality as a special case of systemic risk and the need to move from Basel-II to Basel-III to ensure adequate bank liquidity during the credit crunch situations. This will however affect the regulatory capital the banks need to keep towards capital charge of its risky asset and the provision of additional capital buffer in the form of contra-cyclical capital will be anything but easy in implementation due to significant technical work required in understanding of business cycles. Finally, areas of further research have been identified in the paper.- Ameliorative Potential of Quercetin Against Paracetamol-induced Oxidative Stress in Mice Blood
