The use of microcomputers by libraries for housekeeping operations and information retrieval is now possible and economical. The hardware is now manufactured in India and available at affordable prices. But the application software packages are not readily available. Before automation is introduced, a proper evaluation of library's requirements, the software features needed and the hardware capabilities for implementing the software, has to be made. A suitable set of guidelines and criteria will be helpful for choosing a system.- Curriculum Development in Information Studies with Special Reference to Information Technology

A study was conducted to know the efficacy of potential biocontrol agents and fungicides against mulberry wilt, Fusarium solani. Three antagonists viz., Trichoderma viride., Pseudomonas fluorescens and Bacillus subtilis and six fungicides viz., carbendazim, mancozeb, zineb, copper oxy chloride, tebuconazole and pre-mixture fungicide (carbendazim 75% + mancozeb 25%) were tested under in vitro and in pot culture against wilt pathogen. The results showed that Trichoderma and the bacterial bioagents significantly reduced the mycelial growth of the pathogen. Among the fungicides, mixture of carbendazim + mancozeb (0.1 %) completely inhibited the mycelial growth of the pathogen. In pot culture studies, the minimum (10.5 %) incidence of wilt was observed in soil drenching with carbendazim (0.1%) which was on par with soil application of consortia (Seri bed waste+Pf1+Bs4+Tv1+Neem cake) which showed 12.3 per cent incidence as compared to maximum (46.7 %) wilt incidence in control. Similarly, in field studies also recorded the minimum incidence in soil drenching with carbendazim (0.1%) followed by soil application with consortia.Keywords

Hypertension is reported to be the fourth contributor to premature death in developed countries and the seventh in developing countries. Recent reports indicate that nearly 1 billion adults (more than a quarter of the world’s population) had hypertension in 2000, and this is predicted to increase to 1.56 billion by 2025. The main aim of the study is to find out the level of knowledge of nutritional therapy in hypertension among college teachers through a structured questionnaire and to impart the necessary awareness about the same. This study was based on questionnaire survey by scientifically tested random sampling procedure. The necessary approval for the study was obtained from the academic committee of the Government Arts College for men (autonomous). As the study is a simple questionnaire one, there are no ethical issues. The information was collected from 911 teachers working in colleges and higher institutions. The collected data were entered and analyzed with the help of SPSS software. Statistical tests included simple frequency, percentage and Pearson Correlation techniques which were performed for the collected data. This present study demonstrates that the majority of the respondents were aged either between 31-40 and 41-50 years. 47.4 per cent and 36.6 per cent of male and female were having hypertension respectively which is higher than the general population. According to the ‘Suchitra’s grading’ of nutrition awareness, the level of knowledge in hypertension, 24.1 percent of the respondents are grade I, 26.5 percent grade II, 22.9 percent grade III and 26.5 percent grade IV. Its clear that college teachers lack awareness about nutrition in hypertension. The teachers who suffer from the disease i.e. hypertension had better awareness.Keywords

The axillary approach to brachial plexus blockade provides satisfactory anesthesia for elbow, forearm, and hand surgeries. The use of ultrasound enhances the success of such blocks. The major issue in such a block is the anatomical variation of the musculocutaneous nerve and its possible sparing. The unblocked lateral superficial tissues of forearm and the problem of tourniquet pain will come up if it’s spared. Hence in our study we wanted to locate the site of separation of the nerve. In eighty young healthy male volunteers, the scan of the right axillary area showed that the separation was proximal (point C) in 34% of cases to the classical described site (point A) of combined visualisation of conjoint tendon and axillary artery. It was found separating distally (point B) in 59 % of cases. The distance was maximal in the proximal group with 44 mm and in the distal group of 35 mm. It was absent in one individual. With such a large variation in anatomy, it is necessary to identify the musculocutaneous nerve separately and block it for a successful anesthetic journey in axillary approach to blocking brachial plexus.Keywords

Briefly describes the Vedic standards of exposition (authorial work) - Prabhu Sammita (seminal standard), Suhrit Sammita (near- semintil work, scholarly communications), Kanta Sammita (popular standard) and Sisu Sammita (children's standard)- and the parallel typology of compositions mentioned in the ancient Tamil classic TolkAppiam. TolkAppiam provides also standards and guidelines for various types of exposition. Discusses the planes work - idea plane and verbal plane and notational plane - involved in most intellectual expositions; enumerates the likely fallacies and faults that may occur in the idea and verbal planes respectively, as enumerated by S.R.Ranganathan. Authors use various devices / techniques to aid readers / listeners to grasp and understand betteran exposition. Over thirty literary devices {utti), including those proposed in TolkAppiam, are enumerated, grouped into nine categories. Shows that an information indexing and retrieval tool, such as a thesaurus, can also aid researches and knowledge discovery in the subject / domain covered by it.References

Papaya (Carica papaya L.) is one of the important fruits cultivated in the tropical and subtropical regions are widely prone to the post-harvest anthracnose disease. A sum of ten isolates of Colletotrichum gloeosporioides were collected and identified through morphological and molecular method. Morphological characterization of the isolates revealed a wide variation among the isolates with respect to colony colour, topography, margin, pigmentation and zonation. The ITS gene region and the specific primer, MKCgF coupled with ITS-4, which generated amplicons of size 560 bp and 380 bp respectively for C. gloeosporioides. The amplicon (560 bp) of virulent strain Cg1 was partially sequenced [MF062699]. In order to formulate eco-friendly management practices, the in vitro screening of different biocontrol agents viz., Bacillus spp., Pseudomonas spp., plant extracts and essential oils were tested against the C. gloeosporioides. Based on the in vitro efficacy, Bacillus sp. (BSP1) and cinnamon oil were selected and further tested under field conditions as pre harvest spray and after harvest as fruit dipping. The experimental results revealed that pre-harvest spray with Bacillus sp. (BSP1) (5%) + post-harvest dipping with cinnamon oil (0.1%) recorded the lowest PDI of 3.25 when compared to control (70.36) and also increased the shelf life of papaya fruits up to 14 days. Our results show that this novel methodology of use a combination of biocontrol agent as pre-harvest spray and essential oils as post-harvest fruit dipping will protect against post-harvest anthracnose of papaya and use of chemical fungicides can be avoided.

Automobile mechanics are constantly exposed to dust from the exhausts of petrol and diesel. We recruited 50 petrol two wheeler mechanics and subjected them to lung function tests. All were non-smokers without any respiratory symptoms. All mechanics were regular workers with a minimum of three years and at least an exposure of 5 hours of more per day. They were explained about the methodology and asked to attempt three times and the best of three were selected. The incidence of obstructive lung disease (FEV1/FVC<70%) was only 2%. But the incidence of reduction of effort independent MEF 25-75 in a significant manner is around 38% which coincided with reduction in PEFR values. ⁅FEV1 = Forced expiratory volume in 1 second. PEFR = peak expiratory flow rate. MEF ( 25-75) = mean forced expiratory flow between the 25% and 75% of the FVC.] We did not find any correlation with body mass index. We did not resort to analyses of deterioration of lung function with differing exposure years with a low sample size. We suggest that a regular PEFR with practice of established preventive measures may prevent the progress from asymptomatic illness to a symptomatic stage in such health workers.Keywords

Symptoms of thyroid dysfunction are non-specific, yet common and hence screening for abnormalities becomes a necessity. To identify subclinical thyroid dysfunction and offer them the correct medical treatment especially in adolescent female children is an excellent option as a public health prophylactic measure. Hence in this study, we sampled 264 asymptomatic school female children for TSH and found an incidence of 3.4% of high TSH (>5). On the other side, the lower values were found in six (if TSH <0.5) or only two children (if TSH < 0.4). The mean with standard error of TSH values were 2.99 ± 0.567. The fasting status was not complied with, and all were random blood samples. All children with abnormal results were counselled with parents and necessary medical advice given. This prevalence is the lowest among similar studies done in any Asian country which is a new finding in our study. Only one child showed a value of 150 who was given drugs and followed up. We theorize that this lesser incidence may be partly due to the study being done in a delta area of a semiurban town.Keywords

Regional anaesthesia is emerging either as a sole anaesthetic technique or as an adjunct to general anaesthesia in different surgical conditions. With increasing incidence of systemic illnesses coming for operative procedures, the value of addition of nerve blocks to a routine anaesthetic technique assumes more significance in terms of decreasing morbidity. Usually, the anaesthesiologists are familiar with abdominal, chest and extremity blocks. As ultrasound is not friendly with head and face with bony prominences, the progress in this field is further hampered. In this narrative review, we will try to elaborate on a few useful nerve blocks of the head and face, the importance of ultrasound in viewing those nerves in the bony gaps will be discussed. The use of such techniques as either a perioperative analgesic or as an independent anaesthetic method along with the precautions to be followed in their administration will be highlighted.Keywords

Communication skills can be taught effectively by role play which is a form of peer teaching. To engage large group of learners in a role play session is a challenge. Group of students can be assigned as observers, since learning is also possible by active observation. One hundred and forty-eight medical students were randomly grouped as performers or observers. Role play by performers on essentials of “Doctor patient communication” was observed and rated by experts. This was with regard to only history taking of the respiratory system. The learning outcome of performer/observers of the role play session was evaluated based on the OSCE score (1-4 core elements of Kalamazoo essential elements of communication). A subjective feedback on the satisfaction and confidence was sought after in students of both the groups. Effective learning and subjective impact obtained by both group of learners, as indicated by the equal mean OSCE (student t test p≤0.00), feedback score on self-satisfaction and confidence level. We conclude that either performance as role play or observation of the same among medical students produced similar communication skills with regard to taking history concerning the respiratory system.Keywords

Saligrama otherwise called Shaligram or Salagrama is a fossilized shell stone usually recovered from the banks of the Gandaki river in Nepal. It is supposed to be a sacred symbol of Hindus. Soaking the stone in water for twenty to thirty minutes and partaking the water was considered to give good health. Hence, we mobilized two stones which were authorized as original by experts. The first one was worshipped for more than 5 years and the other one for two years. The water soaked was around 25 ml which was analysed for antioxidant activity by DPPH assay with plain water without soakage as control. The antioxidant property was significantly found in both the stones with more activity in the stone worshipped for more than 5 years. We did not standardize the volume and the duration of soakage to exact values while it was approximated to around 20 – 30 minutes. We suggest more refined studies with estimation of rare elements needs to be performed to establish the beneficial effects of this sacred saligrama stone.Keywords
