Neuropathic pain is defined as "pain initiated or caused by a primary lesion or dysfunction in the nervous system." Painful diabetic neuropathy (PDN) affects 16% of patients with diabetes, and it is frequently unreported (12.5%) and more frequently untreated (39%). Neuropathic pain is poorly managed by NSAIDs, and opioids have limited effectiveness because high doses are associated with adverse events. Treatments are needed for neuropathic pain that are effective but that cause a minimal risk of dependence or of other negative impacts on a patient's quality of life.

Rivers posses dynamic characteristics that may change accordingly. During equilibrium state, the river flow can be potentially disrupted by the presence of bridge piers causes changing in the patterns of river flow and vortex formation around the pillar which eventually results in pillar scour.

The mycoflora from the bed of river Krishna at Sangli was studied at three different locations viz., Right Bank, Center and Left Bank from January 2014 to December 2015. Twenty six soil samples were collected from surface, 10, 15, and 25 cm depth. The mycoflora were isolated by using soil dilution and soil plate method. Out of the 75 strains of fungi isolated 10 species of Penicillium viz., Penicillium funiculosum (32.66) and P. semitectum (03.88%), P. expensum (2.33%), P. chrysogenum (16.33%), P. Lilacinum (09.63%), P.notatum (15.66%), P. roseum (1.62%), P. tardum (23.67%), P.

From the patients visiting to surgical OPD many patients are with pain at anal region. Among these patients with pain at anal region most are with parikartika a disease described by Sushruta. In the condition parikartika there is cutting pain at anal region with a longitudinal ulcer at anal margin. Similar condition described as fissure in ano in modern surgery. Modern treatment includes stool softeners, pain killer, soothing ointment etc. surgical management includes anal dilation, fissurectomy, sphincterectomy.

The temperature anomalies imposed different ecological and breeding diversification over the butterfly community. The study was conducted independently at different temperature conditions. The fecundity of common crow butterfly varied in different In-vitro climatic temperature. The minimum yield of egg and adult was obtained at high temperature - 37oC and the maximum was obtained at 25oC and 29oC. It was clearly pointed understanding of the impact of climatic variation over the fecundity rate.

The aim of this study is to analyzed the three nervi; terminalis, vomeronasalis and olfactorius emerging from the olfactory apparatus. The lizard Chacidessepoides was collected from Sinai and was undergone to permanent histological preparation. Through the examination of the olfactory apparatus of this species resulted in the vomeronasal organ is innervated by two correlating nerves: terminal and vomeronasal nerves that originating from its sensory epithelium. The terminal nerve bears the ganglion terminale. The olfactory nerve innervates the olfactory chamber.

Introduction: Emotional Intelligence (EI) is essential for a competent physician. The present study was taken up to see the need for training in EI among medical students as a group. It was hypothesized that analysis of the individual scores obtained from the students could give a scoring of the whole group and show if training is needed. Aim: To measure Emotional Quotient (EQ) of the First year MBBS students in 18 areas of EI.

The demographic, epidemiological, and economic transition in India has changed the health scenario in a significant way during the last two decades. Because of this transition, the non-communicable diseases and injuries lie on the forefront of health care delivery system. Among all types of injury, head injury has serious consequences and major implications. The present study assesses the burden of head injury and identifies the factors influencing outcome of head injury patients at a tertiary care teaching hospital in North West Rajasthan.

Background: With recent rapid development, Botswana has been a host country to migrant workers from various countries and regions of the world for many years. The aim of this study is to investigate the sexual behavior of migrant workers in Botswana and determine the risk factors for unsafe sex. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted (n = 422), in the two biggest cities of Botswana (Gaborone and Francistown) regarding the sexual behavior of migrant workers by using a structured questionnaire tool for data collection.

OBJECTIVES: The objective of this study is determinate with a semi quantitative method (dipsticks), the oxidative stress, produced by exposure to dyes of hairdressers, measuring the concentration of salivary malondialdehyde (MDA). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Saliva samples are provided by the hairdressers and a control group. The values of MDA are determinate using dipsticks, in a range ≤ 3 and ≥ 7 nM / ml, and For 14 random samples of saliva, the MDA, was also determined spectrophotometrically.
