Objective: The present study deals with the effect of ethanolic extract of Boerhaavia diffusa (BD) on tissue defense system against ethanol-induced hepatic injury in rats. Methods: Ethanol (20% alcohol - 2.5 ml/100 g body weight for 90 days) was used for the induction of hepatotoxicity. BD extract (150 mg/ kg body weight/day for 30 days) was administered orally to rats intoxicated with ethanol. Results: Induction with ethanol resulted in an increase in the levels of lipid peroxides with a concomitant decrease in the activities of superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase, glutathione-S-transferase and reduced glutathione levels. Post treatment with BD ischolar_main extract reversed the deleterious effects of ethanol and the enzyme activities were found to be near normal. Conclusion: These findings demonstrate the protective nature of BD ischolar_main extract against ethanol-induced liver damage, proving it to be a potent antioxidant.Keywords

Objective: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of ethanolic extract of Boerhaavia diffusa ischolar_main against ethanol-induced hepatic damage. Methods: Ethanol (20% alcohol - 2.5 ml/100 g body wt. for 90 days) was used for the induction of hepatotoxicity. Boerhaavia diffusa ischolar_main extract (150 mg/kg body wt. for 30 days) was administered orally to rats intoxicated with ethanol. Results : Ethanol feeding resulted in liver injury as indicated by the significant increase in the serum activities of marker enzymes such as aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase, lactate dehydrogenase and gamma glutamyl transferase. Further, there was a significant increase in the levels of cholesterol, triglycerides and free fatty acids followed by a decrease in the levels of phospholipids in serum, liver and kidney. Post treatment of Boerhaavia diffusa extract reversed these alterations to near normal. Conclusion : The results of this study confirm the hepatoprotective action of Boerhaavia diffusa.Keywords

Extradural hematomas occur frequently as an intracranial finding in trauma to the head. The mortality and morbidity in head injury cases are assessed by factors like progressive deterioration of consciousness, patient age less than 80 years, Glasgow coma scale (GCS) of 5-11, lack of severe coagulopathy or presence of systemic disease; and CT findings like increased edema, compression on brain stem, shift effect hematoma location on non-dominant hemisphere. Very few attempts have been undertaken to study the dimensions and the effects of hematomas in the CT scans and to relate the findings in autopsy. This study was undertaken to analyze the epidemiological and pathological factors of extradural hematoma as well as to correlate the radiological findings in death cases to arrive at the factors influencing the mortality. Thickness and diameter of the hematoma and their relation to mass effect, ventricular shift and midline shift, and incidence of ventricular changes and herniation was studied.Keywords

Five thermal springs under artesian conditions are recorded around Manamelkudi in western areas of Palk Bay. These thermal springs are in association with E-W trending faults. The field data and coastal geomorphic signatures of the area suggest that the E-W trending faults are deep seated, extending to offshore area off Manamelkudi and neotectonically active location of seismographs in the region is recommended in view of the above.Keywords

Electronics Toll Collection system developed in India to save the time by collecting the toll electronically instead of manually. In order to provide zero delay toll collection system, so many modern toll collection systems are used like RF Tags based toll collection system, Barcode Scanner based toll collection system, and number plate recognition based toll collection system. As all the aforesaid systems are reliable, but still it’s not defined as system without human interaction. The paper presents smart toll collection system using embedded Linux environment. The whole system is balanced and focused to design and develop an entirely automated license plate recognition system which will be an excellent low-cost alternative to all other systems. The entire system is design using embedded Linux development board such as Raspberry Pi. The board is most suitable for Implementing Image processing algorithm. In the suggested system one webcam is interfaced with Raspberry Pi Board which is used to capture the image of vehicle’s license plate which will pass through the toll booth. These images of license plates are processed through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) engine such that image of license plate will be converted into equivalent ASCII characters. This extracted information will further send to the RTO server to identify the type of vehicle and owner of the vehicle. The retrieval information will once again send to the system through GSM module interfaced with raspberry pi. According to the type of the vehicle the nominal toll will be deducted from owner’s account. After receiving the notification message on registered mobile number of the owner about the deducted amount from owner’s registered account, the barrier will open and vehicle is allowed to leave the toll booth.
