Stem and leaves of Polypogon fugax Nees ex Steud in pre-flowering stages and the Item, leaves and inflorescence of this plant in flowering and post-flowerine stages were analysed for the estimation of minerals, amino-acids. Sugars and calorific value. More sucrose was accumulated in all the parts during different growing stages of the plant. The pre-flowering stage of Polypogon fugax conserves the highest amount of energy.- Vouchers for Reproductive and Child Health Services:Demand Side Financing Scheme in Uttarakhand, India

The paper assesses the voucher scheme for Reproductive and Child Health (RCH) services in Uttarakhand with respect to awareness generation, delivery of services to clients and role of stakeholders in implementation. Data was collected from interview of stakeholders and review of records from the state government, Voucher Management Agency (VMA) and private nursing homes. The scheme was successful in reaching out to poor women in a short span. Majority of them were satisfied with the services received at the private nursing homes. Active involvement of community health workers and effective monitoring have helped in achieving the objectives of the scheme.- Rashtriya Swasthya Bima Yojana (RSBY)-Hospitalised Families in National Capital Territory of Delhi

The paper assesses the awareness and perception of RSBY among hospitalized families in NCT of Delhi. RSBY families which had availed services in the empanelled hospitals were randomly selected for interview to collect information about their knowledge of the scheme, enrolment process and perception of services provided in the empanelled hospitals. A large proportion of the beneficiaries were unaware about the features and benefits of the scheme. The empanelled hospitals do not admit patients with chronic ailments. Over 50 per cent patients had to spend more than 1000/- as out of pocket expenditure during hospitalization. A large number of patients were neither aware of the amount deducted nor the amount left in the smart cards. There is need for awareness about the scheme among the targeted population.- Clinical Profile, Pattern of Disease, Duration of Stay and Outcome of Patients Admitted in RICU at Tertiary Care Centre of Rohilkhand Region Bareilly

Introduction: Respiratory intensive care unit(RICU) is an area within hospital which is well equipped and under control of specialised team of doctors, nurses and paramedical staff for providing all possible health facilities to the patient. It is also a specialised place for the monitoring and treatment of patients with acute respiratory failure due to primary respiratory cause and of patient with acute or chronic respiratory failure.
Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the clinical profile, pattern of disease, duration of stay and outcome of patients admitted in RICU at tertiary care centre of Rohilkhand Medical College and Hospital (RMCH), Bareilly.
Methodology: For the practical approach the study was conducted on 144 patients of the RICU. The analysis included patients who were hospitalised in the RICU of Deptt. of Pulmonary Medicine, Rohilkhand Medical College and Hospital, Bareilly from May 2014 until May 2015. Results: There were 144 admission during the study period. 102 were male and 42 were female. 46% were referred from the Emergency department (ED) and 40% of patients came from other ICU and hospitals. The most common complaints of patients was breathlessness in 86.1% and cough 68.02%. Most patients had admission in the ICU because of Respiratory Disorders and were ≥ 50 yrs. Average ICU stay was 4.5 days. About 48% of patients showed response to Oxygen inhalational therapy, but 23% patients were put on mechanical ventilator. > 60% patients were discharged from RICU, 16% died and 15% patient discharged and referred to higher centres.
Conclusion: Respiratory problems are the major reason for an RICU admission. Most common indication for admission was Type II respiratory failure and most common cause was acute exacerbation (AE) of COPD. > 70% of patients were improved and discharged.

The physiological weight loss and cooking quality of four month stored brown rice at 12 per cent, 14 per cent and 16 per cent moisture contents (w.b.) were stored in different indigenous storage structures (mud bin, jute bag and polypropylene bag) at prevailing environmental conditions such as weight loss in percentage and cooking index (CI) of brown rice during storage were studied for single variety of paddy (Sugandha). It was found that weight loss percentages increased with number of storage days. The physical weight loss observed in polypropylene bag at the end of four month was 4.80, 5.33 and 6.44 per cent at 12, 14 and 16 per cent moisture content, respectively. While in mud bin was 4.98, 5.86 and 7.12 per cent and in jute bag 5.22, 6.55 and 8.00 per cent at 12, 14 and 16 per cent moisture content, respectively. While studying cooking qualities of brown rice, it was observed that cooking time reduces with advances in storage period. In polypropylene bag cooking time reduces to (65 seconds), followed by mud bin (50 seconds) and jute bag (42 seconds). Cooking time was no significant change observed at different moisture contents. However, the maximum cooking index was found in polypropylene bag followed by mud bin and jute bag in all moistures levels.Keywords

Studies on correlation revealed that seed yield per plant and harvest index exhibited significant positive correlation and both traits also demonstrated significant positive correlation with days to 50 per cent flowering and number of secondary branches per plant at both genotypic and phenotypic level. This indicated the strong association of seed yield per plant, harvest index, days to 50 per cent flowering and number of secondary branches per plant. Both genotypic and phenotypic correlation co-efficient for seed yield per plant was found significant positive correlation with days to 50 per cent flowering, number of secondary branches per plant, number of siliqua per plant and harvest index. Number of siliqua per plant was found significant positive correlation with number of primary branches per plant, number of secondary branches per plant, number of siliqua per plant and seed yield per plant. Number of secondary branches per plant was found significant positive correlation with days to 50 per cent flowering, number of primary branches per plant, number of siliqua per plant, number of seeds per siliqua, seed yield per plant and harvest index. Further, the path co-efficient analysis showed lowresidual effect (0.00482, 0.00304 and 0.00167) during Rabi 2016-17 and 2017-18 indicating that most of the major yield components were included in the study. Harvest index percentage had the highest direct positive effects on seed yield per plant, number of siliqua per plant, number of seeds per siliqua, number of secondary branches per plant and days to maturity. Based on result it has been concluded that two traits namely seed yield per plant and harvest index exhibited significant positive correlation as well as direct effect on seed yield may be considered for selection and to improve the seed yield of the mustard germplasm.Keywords
