In the present study, soil samples were collected from agricultural field of Vedaranyam Taluk, Nagapattinam District and Tamil Nadu. The Physico-chemical characteristics such as pH, temperature, moisture content, organic carbon, electrical conductivity, macro and micro nutrients of soil samples were found to affect the distribution and population of bacteria and fungi. The microbial diversity from the soil sample were analyzed and identified by plating and biochemical characteristics which deals with the diversity and distribution of bacterial and fungal population.

Anaemia a chronic disorder is a result of low levels of haemoglobin. The reduction in the levels of haemoglobin leads to several other complications in the body causing acute organ failure. Stress related anaemia is also at a pace in the modern world in view of the stressed life style. Interleukins were found to be more enhanced during stress related anaemia and as such the present study was focussed mainly to lower the levels of inflammatory molecules. Possible ligands were screened from Terminalia chebula and docked against the inflammatory molecules.

Objective: A prospective cohort study was designed to evaluate the correlation between the presence of bacterial vaginosis and pregnancy outcomes.
Methods: 192 pregnant women in the second trimester of pregnancy with vaginal discharge were included in the study.The study group consisted of 50 pregnant women positive for the presence of bacterial vaginosis. 138 pregnant women without bacterial vaginosis constituted the control group and both groups were compared in respect to the pregnancy outcomes. 

Spontaneous biliary fistulae are encountered, not very rarely, in one’s surgical practice. These fistulae are of three types, Internal, External and Combined. Internal spontaneous biliary fistulae are commonest. External fistulae could be spontaneous or because of Therapeutic, Iatrogenic or Traumatic reasons and are very very rare. Spontaneous cholecystocutaneos fistula (SCCF), secondary to calculous cholecystitis is an extremely rare presentation in the present day scenario.

Introduction: association between oral and general health is relevant to the medical and dental communities. Different types of arthritis present manifestations in the oral cavity (infectious or inflammatory processes, and immunophatogenic mechanisms) involving both hard and soft oral tissues, which leads to problems such as difficulty for chewing and swallowing of food.
Objective: to determine decayed-missing-filled index in arthritic patients attended in the Faculty of Dentistry of the Autonomous University of Yucatan, Mexico, 2015. 

The purpose of the study was to investigate the in-vitro antimicrobial activity of aqueous crude extract, of Sudanese Solanum dubium seeds, Sudanese Sunnut honey, combination S. dubium seeds and Sunnut honey and combination S. dubium seeds and Sunnut honey fresh. The aqueous crude extract, of S. dubium seeds, combination S. dubium seeds and Sunnut honey, Sunnut honey and combination S.

Background: Tori are benign anatomical bony prominences occurring in the hard palate and the lingual aspect of the mandible. 
Aim: to investigate the prevalence of maxillary and mandibular tori in different gender and age group.
Methodology: three hundred and fifty patients from shorish teaching dental center (198 males and 152 females) were examined for presence of torus palatinus and torus mandibularis, their location and relation to gender and age were evaluated.

Thyroid gland disorders are growing worldwide health issue. Thyroid hormone regulates metabolic rate of the body. Failure of thyroid hormone to maintain metabolic rate mainly produces hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism. Thyroid disorders are characterized by physical and mental abnormality. There is no exact correlation of thyroid gland in Ayurveda. But the Ayurvedic system of medicine is very futuristic and it doesn’t emphasize on naming the disease. It rather insists on understanding the constitutional status of a disease and adopting an appropriate treatment principle.
