Computed Tomography Of Brain In Polycythemia With Vertebrobasilar Dolicoectasia

Many polycythemic and dolicoectasia patients are asymptomatic until late in disease or present with non-specific symptoms. Non Enhanced Computerized Tomography (NECT) of brain done can give the signs required for diagnosis and aids in preventing further complications of each entities. We report this case for its rarity and unique characteristic appearance of both the entities on NECT brain. Knowledge of these conditions can help the radiologist in guiding the clinicians towards early diagnosis, as it is associated with high morbidity.

Development & Evaluation Of Glipizide Floating Beads For Gastroretentive Drug Delivery System

Gastroretentive drug delivery system is one of the important approaches to achieve gastric retention to obtain sufficient drug bioavailability. This delivery systems is desirable for drugs with an absorption window in the stomach or in the upper small intestine. This have a bulk density less than gastric fluid & the drug is released slowly as a desired rate from the system. After release of drug, the residual system is emptied from the stomach.

Constraints Faced By The Registered And Non- Registered Cane Growers In Amaravathy Cooperative Sugar Mills- A Comparative Study

A study was conducted in 2012-13 in Amaravathy cooperative sugar mills, Udumalapet block, Tirupur District that has high area and production of sugarcane in Tamil Nadu with 150 registered and 150 non-registered cane growers to assess the adoption level of recommended technologies. The constraint experienced by the respondents in the sugarcane cultivation has been analysed. The comparative result presented.

Potential Of Geothermal And Ground Channel System House On Reduction Of Energy Consumption And Co2emissions With Maintenance Of Performance Of Growing Pigs

Energy consumption in animal production is important issue, which is associated with CO2 emissions as well as involved in the maintenance of internal animal house and performance of animals. Therefore, a preliminary study was undertaken to investigate potentiality of conventional, geothermal and ground channel system house on energy consumption and CO2 emissions as a main focus of study; where additionally it was investigated internal house temperature, relative humidity, odorous gas concentrations, microbial concentrations and performance of growing pigs.

Peroxidase Activity And Lipid Peroxidation In Food Legumes Vigna Mungo (l.) Hepper and vigna Aconitifolia (Jacq.) Marechal Seedlings Under Salt Stress

Salinity stress is a major contributor in decreasing crop productivity and threatening agricultural sustainability. In the present study the activity of lipid peroxidation and peroxidase during salt stress treatment for different periods in Vigna mungo and Vigna aconitifolia leaf tissues was done. Seedlings of Vigna mungo and Vigna aconitifolia were grown through Hydroponics system containing Hoagland solution under optimum condition of 70% humidity and temperature (28ºC).

Spatial Temporal Assemblage Structure Of Fishery Resources In Relation With Environmental Variables Along The Mangrove Creeks Of South Andaman

The spatial and temporal pattern in the fishery assemblage structure of mangrove habitats along South Andaman Islands coast was studied in relation to environmental variables. Exploitation level was found to be low compared to mainland as fishing was carried out mainly for own consumption and less for commercial purpose. Fishery data were collected on weekly basis from artisanal fishermen at eight sampling stations and later sorted seasonally.

Production Of Silicon Ethoxide From Nigerian Rice Husk

Application of nanotechnology has been very limited in petroleum industry. However, in recent years, the importance of nano science to develop conventional methods in several branches of petroleum engineering has been highlighted. Despite the considerable surveys investigating different applications of nanotechnology in optimizing drilling fluid rheology in HTHP conditions and reservoir engineering (enhanced oil recovery techniques); far too little attention has been paid to producing these nano particles / additives locally in Nigeria.

Frailty Prevalence And Correlates Among Free Living Elderly In An Egyptian Rural Elderly

Background: frailty is a common association with aging, multi-factorial in origin and has significant impact on the overall health and functional status of the elderly. Aim: The purpose of this study was to describe the prevalence of frailty in a community dwelling egyptian elderly and examine its associations with sociodemographic and functional characteristics in a representative sample of rural elderly. Methodology: Eighty eight elderly males and females were recruited from a rural district in Dakahlia, Egypt.

Visible Light Heterogeneous Photocatalytic Degradation Of Eosin-B And Eriochrome Black-T Using H2o2 Sensitized Monoclinic Bivo4

Visible light photo catalytic degradation of Eosine Blue and Eriochrome Black-T dyes is investigated over monoclinic BiVO4 prepared by room temperature solid-state metathesis. XRD pattern showed formation of phase pure monoclinic BiVO4 . Complete photo degradation of Eosin Blue and Eriochrome Black-T occurred for respective irradiation times of 120 and 210 min. in presence of H2O2 . A synergetic effect between BiVO4 and H2O2 led to enhanced degradation of both dyes.

Palliation Of Bone Metastasis Using Different Fractionation Of Radiotherapy

Background: Bone metastases occur in almost all tumors and it is the third most common site involved by metastasis. Breast and prostate cancer are the most common primary sites metastasising to bone, accounting for up to 70% of total cases. The problems associated with bone metastasis are pain, pathologic fractures, spinal cord compression and hypercalcemia. The prognosis of patients with bone metastases is poor, with median survival ranging from months to few years depending upon site and the presence or absence of visceral metastases.
