Globally millions of people are affected by cardiac diseases. Myocardial ischemia is one of the serious cardiac related disorders. Myocardial Infarction (MI) accounts for majority of cardiac deaths and disabilities. 2 In spite of the availability of the drugs for the treatment of cardiac diseases, they have posed a big challenge for their treatment. The use of complementary and alternative medicines is burgeoning globally for MI 3 . Isoproterenol (ISP), a synthetic catecholamine and a-adrenergic agonist that causes severe stress in myocardium and infarct-like necrosis of the heart muscles. ISP induced myocardial injury involves membrane permeability alterations, which brings about the loss of functions and integrity of myocardial membranes. ISP induced myocardial necrosis is a well known standard model to study the beneficial effect of many drugs on cardiac dysfunction. The present investigation was undertaken to evaluate the cardioprotective activity of protein powder supplemented with grape seed extract and co enzyme Q10 in isoprenaline-induced cardiac damage in rats and to understand the molecular mechanism of its therapeutic effect with reference to cardiac markers and lipid profiles.

Globally, breast feeding has the potential to prevent about 800,000 deaths among children under five each years if all children 0-23 months were optimally breastfed. Early initiation of breast feeding could prevent about one fifth of neonatal deaths, but less than half of infants are put to the breast within one hour of birth. So the present study was planned to know the breast feeding practices and the sociodemographic factors influencing the feeding practices among the mothers of one year old children. A community based cross sectional study was conducted in the urban field practice area of the Department of Community Medicine of SGRD Institute of Medical Sciences and Research among the mothers having less than one year old child. There were total recorded 263 mothers having less than one year old child. Information about demographic profile, breast feeding practices and socio cultural factors affecting the feeding practices was collected using a pre-tested and predesigned proforma. Out of total 257 mothers were willing to participate in the study. Statistical analysis was done by using SPSS 20.0. It was observed that 53.7% mothers started breast feeding next day, 30.4% mothers started breast feeding the same day and 16% started breast feeding immediately. Prelacteal feed was given by 89.5% mothers. The common prelacteal feed given was honey (67.3%) followed by sugar in water (14.0%), jaggery (12.8%) and others (5.8%). Colostrum was given by 59.1% of mothers. The study shows that cultural practices such as giving prelacteal feed, discarding colostrums and late initiation of breast feeding are still prevalent in the community. These should be discouraged by providing health education and through BCC activities.Keywords

Legumes have long been a part of traditional diets in Asia, Africa and South America, which includes most of the world's developing countries. Like other legumes, cowpea is a good source of energy, protein, vitamins, minerals and dietary fibre. Harvested dry grains are commonly consumed. The tender pods of cowpea are valued as vegetable as such or as an ingredient in many food preparations.- Development of Wheatgrass Powder Enriched Health Foods with Enhanced Free Radical Scavenging Activity

Wheatgrass at young green stage is a powerhouse of nutrients and phytochemicals. Its various formulations are available in the form of extracts or powders used as health supplements. However, there is a huge potential of utilization for wheatgrass in the development of health foods for general good health as well as cure of disorders like metabolic syndrome, cancer, thalassemia, aneamia etc. With an aim to develop wheatgrass enriched health foods, the wheatgrass powder could be incorporated up to 10% in chapati and biscuits and up to 5% in bread without compromising the overall acceptability of the products. The free radical scavenging activity of chapati, biscuits and bread were increased significantly (p<0.05) at the optimized levels of enrichment of wheatgrass powder in these products. Food sprinkler enriched with 50% wheatgrass powder enhanced the free radical scavenging activity of the spices by 26% without affecting the sensory attributes of the product. Hence, these wheatgrass powder enriched health foods may possess health promoting properties owing to their high antioxidant activity.
