Objective: Effect of exercises and short breaks during working hours in library professionals with perceived neck pain. Introduction: Neck pain is major health problem in modern society. In general population, work related neck pain and dysfunction are common, affecting upto 67% of the general population at some time during their life. A positive relation has been found between various neck disorders and work related risk factors, such as static neck and arm posture, duration of sitting as well as work place design. The neck pain among library professionals has found to be 56%.
Methodology: 40 subjects with mean age 29.8yeras, height 163.13cm and weight 65.46kg were taken from libraries of various colleges of ludhiana. DESIGN: cluster design.
INCLUSION CRITERIA: Library professionals working for at least 20 hours/week, working for at least 1 year in their profession, no one reported regular neck pain.
EXCLUSION CRITERIA : Trauma in cervical region, neuralgic pain, C. Spine tumor , surgery of C. spine, mental retardation, inflammation.
MATERIAlS : North Wick Park Neck Pain Questionnaire (NWPQ)
Result And Conclusion: The result of t-test reveals that there is significant difference between the control group mean (X=28.99) experimental group mean (X=16.53). Hence p<0.05. Thus treatment is effective.

A new simple, sensitive, precise and economical spectrophotometric method of analysis for artemether both as a bulk drug and in capsule formulations was developed and validated. The method employed methanol as solvent and 1 N methanolic HCl was used to derivatize drug. This derivatized product was then estimated at 254 nm. The linear regression analysis data for the calibration plots showed good linear relationship with r2=0.9997 in the concentration range 4-36 μg/ml. The mean value of correlation coefficient, slope and intercept were 0.9998±0.000116, 0.0307±0.000133 and 0.0337±0.001945 respectively. The method was validated for precision, accuracy and recovery studies. LOD and LOQ for artemether were found to be 0.2297 (μg/ml) and 0.696 (μg/ml) respectively. The method has been successfully applied in the analysis of marketed formulations.Keywords

Diabetes mellitus type II, the chronic endocrine disorder, affects metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins, fats, electrolytes and water. This type of diabetes can only be controlled by maintaining low levels of blood glucose and through a healthy lifestyle1. The currently available medicines, viz. biguanides, sulphonylureas and thiazolidinediones, pose risks of secondary failure and prominent side-effects. Therefore, it is imperative to go for the alternative approach, a strong antidiabetic activity, without any spin-off results.References
