Introduction: Piper betle (L) is a common plant cultivated in Asian countries, leaves of which are used in folk medicine for the treatment of various disorders. Aim: To evaluate the anti-bacterial efficacy of 4% Piper betle (L) leaves extract mouth rinse on the Human Gingiva. Materials and Methods:45 systemically healthy patients,15 years and above with mild to moderate Gingivitis were randomly divided into: Group A: Distilled Water (Placebo). Group B: Commercially available 0.2% Chlorhexidine gluconate (Positive Control).

The present study bill exclusively on the choice of quality road materials case of three road infrastructural projects, namely: the Sangmelima-Bikula, N’joura-Bilala roads and the NGaoundéré cliff. In this experimental study, we make laboratory tests at LABOGENIE. The principal’s results are: Lateritic gravels represent the mostly used soil category in road projects in Cameroon, have outstanding geotechnical and mechanical characteristics in most cases, that is why it is widely used as forming layer and foundation layer.

This research was conducted at Bungin Permai Village, South Konawe Regency. The purpose of this research was to determine the behavioral characteristics of farmers toward the risk of seaweed farming. Samples in this study were taken by using simple random sampling method. The numbers of samples in this study were 37 seaweed farmers. The analysis technique used is the quadratic utility function to analyze farmer’s behavior against the risks.

The inability to maintain balance under dual-task conditions is a common occurrence. Because impaired dual-task balance performance predicts adverse outcomes such as falls, and declines in both cognitive and physical function, interventions that improve dual-task balance performance are a critical health care need. Present work was performed on 90 young healthy volunteers, includes 56 females and 34 males, and they studied for change in their auditory reaction time (ART) and visual reaction time (VRT) with the concomitant use of mobile phones.

In India, low soil fertility is the one of the major factors for highly reduced crop yield. The chemical fertilizers are harmful to the physical and biological conditions of the soil. Organic manure such as vermicompost is a suitable alternative for the chemical fertilizers. The soil solid waste is a major problem in the emerging Indian economy. The demands for medicinal plants are exploding. Cultivation of medicinal plants is an important sector in the current medicinal plant development.

Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the potential drug-drug interactions (pDDIs) among hospitalized patients in cardiac department in tertiary care hospital. Methods: A prospective, observational study was carried out for a period of 6 months. Samples of 425 patients were assessed for pDDIs using Micromedex®- 2.7. Results: A total of 425 patients were analysed during these study periods. Out of 425 cardiac patients, 360 (84.70%) had found to be pDDIs, 856 pDDIs were found in 360 cardiac patients.

The research presented in this paper was carried out with the aim to examine the auditory processing disorders and gender discrimination at the children attending the first grades of primary school. The sample consisted of 30 respondents who attended the first-year classes according to the nine-year plan and program. The research was carried out in two primary schools in the area of the town of Tesanj using the Baterie Tests for the examination of auditory processing disorders PSP-1.

Our work is a contribution to assessing the health of the marine ecosystem of Kulasekaranpattinam, which is not yet studied .Two samplings campaigns were conducted during January- March 2018 in onshore and offshore. Kulasekaranpattinam is a very good tourist place in Tamil Nadu. A systematic study has been carried out to analyze the physic-chemical characters through the standard protocol suggested by APHA. Statistical analyses such as Pearson correlation matrix and Regression analysis were performed to the data set to know the relationship among the studied parameters.

Background: Leptospirosis is a zoonotic spirochetal disease. The spectrum of human disease is ranging from subclinical infection to a severe syndrome of multiorgan infection with high mortality. Aim: To evaluate the epidemiological factors & the clinical presentation. Method: Patients with fever admitted in a GMC, Surat, Gujarat who were tested positive for Leptospirosis were evaluated for epidemiological risk factors in addition to the clinical profile. Result: Total 326 patients are evaluated.

Eichhornia crassipes (Mart) solms., ordinarily known as water hyacinth is warm water aquatic plant and the world’s worst aquatic weed as it can grown quickly thereby closing water bodies and negatively affects the water bodies. It is one of the main problem to the water reservoir, Morna river of Akola city, but looking towards it’s medicinal value, supreme interest has been received to determine its antimicrobial potential against Multi Drug Resistant (MDR) bacteria.
