Nutrition plays a fundamental role in supporting the structural and functional development of the human brain from conception, throughout early infancy and extending into later life.A growing body of evidence suggests that folate and the metabolically related B-vitamins are essential for brain health across all age groups, owing to their specific roles in C1 metabolism and particularly in the production of S-adenosylmethionine, a universal methyl donor essential for the production of neurotransmitters.
Emerging, though not entirely consistent, evidence suggests that maternal folate status throughout pregnancy may influence neurodevelopment and behaviour of the offspring.
Furthermore optimal B-vitamin status is associated with better cognitive health in ageing. Of note, a recent clinical trial provided evidence that supplementation with folic acid and related B-vitamins over a 2-year-period reduced global and regional brain atrophy, as measured by MRI scan in older adults.
In terms of potential mechanisms, the effects of these B-vitamins on cognitive health may be independent or may be mediated by nutrient- nutrient and/or relevant gene-nutrient interactions.
Furthermore, a new area of research suggests that the in utero environment influences health in later life. Folate, an important cofactor in C1 metabolism, is indirectly involved in DNA methylation, which in turn is considered to be one of the epigenetic mechanisms that may underlie fetal programming and brain development.
The present review will explore the evidence that supports a role for folate and the related B-vitamins in brain health across the lifecycle, and potential mechanisms to explain such effects.

Prevalence of obesity, aptly described as a genetic misfortune, has reached epidemic dimensions worldwide and is continuing to rise at an alarming rate even in developing countries where human hunger is the other side of the coin. It is estimated that more than 300 million people worldwide are obese. According to Koon prevalence rates of overweight and obesity in India are 12.8 and 10.3 per cent respectively. Diet, eating pattern, physical inactivity, sedentary lifestyles, environmental factors, alcohol consumption and psychological factors contribute to obesity. This global epidemic is related to increased mortality and morbidity rates with excess body fat being a significant risk factor for a number of chronic disorders such as CVD, NIDDM, gout, gall stones, intestinal blockage, kidney disease, sleep apnea, hernia and arthritis.- Evaluation of Medication Errors in an Acute Multi Care Unit in a Tertiary Care Hospital

Purpose of the study : The aim of the study was to evaluate medication errors in the Acute Multi Care Unit in a tertiary care hospital. The study aims to promote safety in medication use and ensure quality in the healthcare service. The study objective was to detect and categorize medication errors, to ensure rational drug use in the hospital, to make recommendations for doctors, nurses, and patients to promote safe use of medications.
Design and Methodology : The study was conducted in 152 inpatients in the Acute Multi Care Unit in a tertiary care hospital located in Hyderabad. It is a prospective observational study carried over a period of 8 months. Data was collected using a data collection form which included patient details, drug details, and criteria for identifying errors, its categorization, and the details of drugs involved in errors. Complete details of patients and medications were recorded through a review of nursing charts, patient's admission chart, patient's history sheet and doctor's order sheet. Collected details were then evaluated to detect the prescribing, administration, omission error, dose error and poly pharmacy.
Results: The study was conducted in 152 patients, where total number of prescriptions with error is 28. The percentage distribution of prescriptions with error (18%) and without error (82%) was also calculated. Among which prescribing errors (50%) were the most frequently occurring types of errors, which was followed by omission errors (18%), administration error (18%) and dose error (14%). Error prescriptions belonging to male patients were (60.7%) while for females it was (39.3%). And a total of 26 Poly pharmacy prescriptions were also reported among which (69%) belongs to male and (31%) belongs to female.
Conclusion: The professionals involved in the practice should be focused, alert and determined. The nursing staff also needs to be slightly more knowledgeable and focused. Since this is an observational study and there is no scope of any intervention which can modify outcome.

Online retailing is the process whereby consumers directly buy goods or services from a seller in real-time, without an intermediary service, over the Internet. On-line shopping preferences differ with respect to different age groups. So the study focuses on collecting data by means of an on-line survey in which different age groups on-line shoppers rank the importance of various features that have an impact on their shopping experience. The result shows significant results in the preference of consumer among different age groups. Also, while comparing the ranking of individual features some statistically significant differences exist. Consumers within the age group of 25-35 are more interested in doing online shopping followed by less than 25 age group consumers in Chennai. The factors opted by the consumers has also been derived as a part of the research. The implications for research are twofold. First, the study provides additional insights into on-line shopping preferences from age perspective. Second, the study demonstrates that significant differences might not show on the construct level but only when features are individually compared with each other. The implication for practice is to help businesses enhance their on-line shopping platforms to better consider the particular needs of different age group on-line shoppers. This research is validated using chi square test.Keywords

Purpose: The aim of the research is to develop Nevirapine tablets by direct compression method by improving solubility using solid dispersion technique.
Methodology: Nevirapine is anti-viral drug, which is used in the prevention and treatment of HIV infections. It belongs to class II drug in Bio-Pharmaceutical Classification System i.e. low solubility and high permeability. It has a biological half-life of 45 hours. One of the major problems with this drug is its low solubility in biological fluids, which results into poor bioavailability after oral administration. Here, solid dispersions of Nevirapine are prepared with different carriers such as Plasdone S-630 and Soluplus in order to increase its solubility and dissolution rate. By increasing the solubility of Nevirapine, its bioavailability can be increased. Pre-formulation studies regarding the drug-carrier interaction was carried out by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry. Nevirapine solid dispersions were evaluated for solubility, drug content estimation and in vitro dissolution studies. Powder blend was evaluated for bulk density, tapped density, Carr's index, Hausner's ratio and angle of repose.
Findings: The dissolution pattern of the Nevirapine from all the standard dispersions followed predominantly first order kinetics. The study reflects the vital role of polymers as a novel approach to improve the solubility of nevirapine, which could minimize the variable dissolution rate with increase in bioavailability. With the studies conducted, the percentage drug release of Nevirapine was increased by melting method with Nevirapine: Plasdone S630 in the ratio of 1:2.
Practical implications: Nevirapine is a suitable drug to formulate into tablet by using the above mentioned carriers and may provide a better therapeutic profile than that of conventional dosage form.

Impact of insecticides on mango pests and their natural enemies was studied at College of Agriculture, Vellayani and Padannakkad during 2015-16. Observations were recorded on pest and Natural Enemies (NEs) population at fortnightly intervals. Management studies were carried out in RBD and observations were recorded before and after spraying on 1,3,5,7,9,10 and 15 days. It was observed that NEs population was closely associated with the occurrence of pest population and found peak incidence during March-2015. Chlorantraniliprole 0.03% SC and flubendiamide 0.01% SC were found to be best treatments by reducing 82.41 and 74.60 per cent larvae/web respectively. Imidacloprid 0.005% and thiamethoxam 0.005% found to be better treatment with 90.64 and 87.40 per cent reduction of leaf hoppers respectively. But they had equally reduced the NEs population. Azadirachtin 1% and Beauveria bassiana 2% found to record highest number of NEs with moderate efficacy against the target pests.Keywords

The purpose of this study is to evaluate and compare the ischolar_main proximity of maxillary and mandibular inter radicular sites using orthopantomogram (OPG) and cone beam computed tomograph (CBCT) for the primary stability of mini implants. The cone beam computed tomographic images and orthopantomographic images of 70 subjects were taken. The interdental sites from distal of canine to mesial of second molar are examined for ischolar_main proximity. The ischolar_main proximity was measured at four levels from cementoenamel junction in 70 CBCT and OPG images. The results showed a statistically significant difference between the values obtained from CBCT and OPG images; the ischolar_main proximity was least 6mm above the cementoenamel junction in maxilla and mandible in the range of 1.09-3.62mm, 1.45-4.17 mm respectively. The study concluded that CBCT images are more accurate and reliable. At 5mm from CEJ in the region between the first molar and second premolar in maxilla and in the area between first molar to first premolar in mandible the ischolar_main proximity is least and adequate for mini implant placement.Keywords

Pigmentation of oral mucosa occurs due to accumulation of pigments and thereby leading to colour change. Pigmented lesions of oral cavity can be physiologic or pathologic. The pigments causing discolouration can be either from external sources (exogenous) or internal sources(endogenous). Certain drugs can also cause pigmentation of the oral mucosa. Benign and malignant tumours of melanocytic origin can also be pigmented in nature. Endocrine diseases (adrenal) can also cause pigmentation. Diagnosing pigmented lesions requires thorough knowledge of various causes and proper diagnosis is important for planning the treatment.Keywords

Periodontal abscess is the third most frequent dental emergency, representing 7–14% of all the dental emergencies.. Numerous aetiologies have been implicated. The diagnosis is done by the analysis of the signs and symptoms and by the usage of supplemental diagnostic aids. The treatment of the periodontal abscess has been a challenge for many decades. In the past, the periodontal abscess in periodontal diseased teeth was the main reason for tooth extraction. Today, three therapeutic approaches are being discussed in dentistry, that include, drainage and debridement, systemic antibiotics and periodontal surgical procedures which are applied in the chronic phase of the disease.The localization of the acute periodontal abscess and the possibility of obtaining drainage are essential considerations for successful treatment.The aim of this review is to give a clear idea about periodontal abscess and its management.

By definition Dental caries is an irreversible microbial disease of the calcified tissues of the teeth, characterized by demineralization of the inorganic portion and destruction of the organic substance of the tooth, which often leads to cavitations. The etiology of dental caries is generally agreed to be a complex problem complicated by many indirect factors that obscure the direct cause or causes. There is no universally accepted opinion for the etiology of dental caries. The oral flora and the saliva plays a very important contributing factor in dental caries. Saliva is the most valuable oral fluid is critical to the preservation and management of oral health. Saliva containing various organic and inorganic substances provides primary natural protection for teeth and soft tissues in the oral cavity assists in mastication, deglutition and digestion of food. The secretion of saliva can be affected due to various local and systemic causes. However if a patient is taking medication and has altered salivary secretion the differential diagnosis should include the possibility of an adverse drug reaction. The drugs may lead to alteration in the flow rate of saliva. Salivary dysfunction as a clinical entity has received considerable attention in recent years. This article critically reviews the dental hard tissue alterations especially dental caries that are caused due to reduced salivary secretion as a result of long term medication.Keywords

Autoimmune blistering diseases are a group of disorders in which the body attacks the healthy tissue, causing blistering lesions primarily affecting the skin and mucous and membranes. The symptoms and severity of blistering diseases vary from one person to another, even among individuals with the same disorder. In some cases, blistering lesions can involve a significant portion of the skin. Although, there is no cure for autoimmune blistering diseases, they can often be controlled with treatment. In other cases, autoimmune blistering diseases if left untreated can eventually cause life-threatening complications.Keywords

Human whole mouth saliva (WMS) is secreted by salivary glands, namely parotid, submandibular/sublingual and other minor glands of the oral cavity. The human saliva consists of various proteins and peptides which serve as diagnostic aids in detection of various contagious and organ related diseases. Saliva can be used to detect various systemic and oral diseases. In any disease early diagnosis helps in proper treatment planning and better prognosis. Saliva has a great potential as a diagnostic fluid and offers advantage over serum and other biological fluids by an economic and non- invasive collection method for monitoring of systemic health and disease progression.This review examines the diagnostic application of saliva for systemic diseases.Keywords

The cystic lesions that affect the oral and maxillofacial region are predominantly odontogenic in origin. The odontogenic cell rests entangled within tissue of the jaws such as cell rests of Malassez, cell rests of serre, and enamel organ leads to its formation. The factors leading to the enlargement of these jaw cysts are increased the permeability of cyst wall, increased the protein content of the cyst fluid, and when the intracystic fluid pressure on the jaw bone is increased. This review is an attempt to analyze and compare the components of cystic fluids such as albumin, prealbumin, globulin, and total protein content among various odontogenic cysts.Keywords

On focus with route of drug administration, the oral cavity is an attractive and the safest site for the delivery of drugs. As an advantage it can overcome acidic environment thereby causing instability of the drug, extensive first pass metabolism and low bioavailability of drug results an inadequate absorption. The buccal mucosa is rich in blood supply and relatively permeable. Buccal cavity was found to be most accessible site for both local and systemic delivery of drug. This review presents a brief description of advantages and limitations of oral mucosal drug delivery, mechanisms of drug permeation followed by current developments in this drug delivery systems.Keywords
