Case Report-Management of Adenoviral Conjunctivitis with Ganciclovir Gel

Viral conjunctivitis is a clinically common, highly contagious, self-limiting condition commonly of adenoviral etiology. The infection is most contagious from onset to 10-12 days and usually resolves spontaneously within 2-4 weeks. Transmission most often occurs via inoculation of viral particles from the patient’s hands, by direct contact with infected surfaces or infected upper respiratory droplets. Treatments vary from lubricating eye drops and isolation to newer medications but still the primary aim being palliative while controlling contagion.
International Prognostic Score (IPS) Is Not Useful in Stages I–II Hodgkin’s Lymphoma (HL) - An Experience of the Buenos Aires Leukemia Group (BALG).

The International Prognostic Factors Project on advanced HL developed a prognostic score to predict treatment outcome in patients with advanced disease treated with modern chemotherapy,with or without radiotherapy (RT). The score incorporates seven adverse prognostic factors (APF): age ≥45yrs old, male sex, stage IV, hemoglobin<10.5,serum albumin <4 g/dl,leukocytosis≥ 15×109/L and lymphocytopenia (< 0.6× 109/L). Patients with ≤ 2 APF have a two year freedom from progression of 80% while those with 3 or more APF have a worse outcome, each additional factor reduces the prognosis by about 8%. To study the utility of IPS in less advanced disease, we looked into our patients included in the HD 98 protocol for stages I–II HL.According to this protocol, patients without bulky disease,B symptoms or N< 3, received 4 cycles of standard ABVD plus IFRT.Patients with one or more of the unfavourable characteristics received 6–8 cycles of standard ABVD plus RT in areas of bulky or residual disease.Since December 98, ninety two patients have been included, 91 are evaluable for this report.Patient characteristics were as follows: 44 males,47 females, Age 30yr (15–80). Histologic subtypes were: LP:5, NS:64, MC:21, LR:1. Clinical stages IA:13, IAX: 3, IB:1, IBX:3, IIA:34, IIAX:13, IIB:19, IIBX:5. Looking to IPS impact in freedom from progression we have simply considered two subgroup of patients: low risk (<3APF) and high risk (≥ 3APF). Only 6/91 patients belonged to the high risk group. With ABVD 92% of the patients got a CR.Four patients were considered to be primary resistant, we have lost follow up of two patients, three persons have relapsed and two of them got a second CR. Currently 85/91 are alive, with a median FU of 56 months . All patients with a high IPS obtained a prolonged CR . Three patients have relapsed at 7,13 and 30 months;all belonged to the low risk IPS group.Four patients with primary resistant HL have died, three of them had had an autologus bone marrow transplant . All primary resistant HL belonged to the low risk IPS group. We think that IPS is not useful in stages I–II HL, because it is only significantly altered in less than 10% of the patients. One possible explanation might be, that IPS relies on laboratory parameters such as white cell counts in peripheral blood, hemoglobin levels and serum albumin which are less affected, in early stages of the disease . Interestingly 5/6 patients with high risk IPS had B symptoms and 3/5 had bulky or N3 disease, consequently they received 6–8 cycles of ABVD. These facts, might have had influence in our results. In our experience resistance to ABVD have a dismal prognosis in HL. IPS was not a good predictor of progression or resistance in this cohort of patients.
Effect ofMikania micrantha leaf extract on the level of blood glucose and hepatic glycogen in the normal and alloxan-induced diabetic rats

The present study investigates the hypoglycaemic effect of Mikania micrantha leaf extract in normal and alloxan induced diabetic rats. Male Spargue Dawley rats were used in the study. Oral glucose Tolerence tests (OGTT) was conducted in non-diabetic and alloxan induced diabetic rats using orally administered glucose followed by either the leaf extract or subcutaneous injection of metformin. The fasting blood glucose level ranged from5.15 ± 0.58 mmol/L. The effect of daily oral administration of aqueous extract of Mikania micrantha leaves for a period of 20 days was studied on blood glucose level and hepatic glycogen content in alloxaninduced diabetic rats. Blood glucose level of diabetic rats treated with aqueous extract of Mikania micrantha showed significant reduction (p<0.05) as compared to non- diabetic group. The amount of hepatic glycogen in diabetic rats also was decreased. The observation of this study indicates that the effect of metformin was far more noticeable in diabetic rats. In conclusion, Mikania micrantha has a beneficial effect in the treatment of diabetes mellitus and can form a part of therapy in its management.

NEW VALIDATED RP-HPLC METHOD FOR SIMULTANEOUS ESTIMATION OF ATENOLOL AND INDAPAMIDE IN TABLETS

A simple, specific and precise reverse phase high performance liquid chromatographic method was developed and validated for simultaneous estimation of Atenolol and Indapamide in tablets. Quantification was achieved by using an Eclipse XDB plus C18 column (4.6 x 150nm, 5 μm particle size). The mobile phase consisted of a mixture of acetonitrile and water in the ratio of 60:40 v/v at a flow rate of 1.2 ml/min. The retention times of Atenolol and Indapamide were found to be 1.00 min and 2.057 min respectively. The developed method was validated as per ICH Guidelines for linearity, accuracy, precision, detection limit, quantification limit, robustness, rudggedness, specificity and system suitability. The percentage recoveries for both of the drugs from the tablets were found to be 100.2 % and 99.99 % respectively. The method may successfully be employed for the simultaneous determination of Atenolol and Indapamide in pharmaceutical tablet dosage forms.
Biorthogonal Wavelet Transform Based Image Watermarking

: Recent trends indigital world has made information right in the palm. At the same time the security of the same information has become a question. One of the many solutions for the information security is watermarking. Past a decade, the term watermarking became very popular in information security and copy right protection. In this present work, Biorthogonal Wavelet Transformation is used to embed the secret information, watermark, into the host image, which improved the robustness compared to many other watermarking methods proposed till now. The watermark is embedded in the host image by modifying the coefficients of the middle frequency so that the quality of the host image will not get disturbed or the disturbance will not be found with naked eye at the same time the watermark cannot be removed by standard attacking methods. Its robustness has been compared with discrete cosine transform, discrete wavelet transform and stationary wavelet transformation. The simulation results shows that among these four methods, biorthogonal method has more robustness against standard attacks. The standard Lena image is used for simulation purpose.

Psychonarratology: from cognitive processes to readers’ narrative comprehension

Psychonarratology studies the cognitive processes of narrative comprehension in readers’ minds. There are thus close ties between psychonarratology and cognitive processes of mind while reading a narrative. This study aims to provide definitions and explanations for the two basic crucial concepts of ‘psychonarratology’ and ‘narrative’. First, it considers the role of readers in narrative comprehension and for this reader response theory and reception theory are elaborated on. Then, the cognitive processes which are active during narrative comprehension, are discussed. Three models of this cognitive processes are presented as well. ‘Narrative’, among other discourse genres, is the focus of this study. Because of its distinctive features, a narrative has its unique way of being understood. The processes of narrative comprehension will be considered and elaborated on in this study.
Dynamics of oral biofilms associated with mechanical ventilation

Critically ill patients often require mechanical ventilation (MV) to facilitate treatment for respiratory failure or airway protection when consciousness is impaired. Whilst the endotracheal tube (ETT) is an essential interface between the patient and ventilator, it may promote VAP by impeding host defence mechanisms and by translocating microorganisms from dental plaque to the lower airways. Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP), which may be challenging to diagnose, is the most frequent hospital-acquired infection in critical care. It has been reported that when patients receive MV the composition of dental plaque changes to include respiratory pathogens such as Meticillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The primary aim of this research was to confirm that dental plaque communities altered during MV and to identify the potential causes of these changes. A combination of culture-based microbiology, community profiling molecular techniques and proteomic analysis of saliva was performed to analyse the microbiological content of the oral cavity, and to also quantify changes in dental plaque composition and saliva. For the first time, this study comprehensively analysed the dental plaque of mechanically ventilated patients and documented considerable species richness and diversity. Numerous potential respiratory pathogens were detected including Staphylococcus aureus, P. aeruginosa and Streptococcus pneumoniae in approximately one-third of mechanically ventilated patients. In addition, salivary flow rate was decreased and both the salivary pH and concentration of pro-inflammatory cytokines were significantly elevated during intubation. Dental plaque is a reservoir for VAP, and preventing or reducing respiratory colonisation may play a role in the management of ventilated patients. Interventions to prevent colonisation could include the modulation of salivary parameters such as pH and volume and further work may lead to the identification of specific proteins that are significant. Reducing the incidence of VAP will not only reduce mortality in the ICU, but will also have a great impact on hospital economics by reducing inpatient stay.
Uncovering Pneumonia: Comparing Chest Radiograph to Computed Tomography: An Analysis

Background: Pneumonia is a disease frequently encountered during daily clinical practice. Symptoms and signs may sometimes be difficult to elicit and the chest radiograph misleading. Methods: We discuss three cases of pneumonia where the chest radiograph results were of limited value. In these cases, computed tomography provided an accurate diagnosis and ensured adequate antibiotic treatment in keeping with the severity of the disease. Conclusion: In addition to the standard chest radiograph, we should consider training of medical officers in the use of lung ultrasound to aid in the diagnosis and management of pneumonia. There should be a low threshold for the use of computed tomography in patients with a diagnosis of pneumonia.

In this study, an investigate effect of moisture absorption by ranitidine and resinates used to improve stability of ranitidine hydrochloride tablets. Moisture absorption by ranitidine at three different level of relative humidity (RH) has been studied. Percentage of moisture absorption at 22% was low as compared to 57% and 75% RH. To eliminate deliquescent tendency of drug, weak cation-exchange resins Indion 204, Indion 264 and Indion 254 were used in formulation as complexing agent. The drug loading process was optimized with respect to drug: resin ratio and pH of loading solution. The complexes were evaluated for bulk density, angle of repose, stability and in-vitro drug release. Optimum drug loading was at pH of 4.0 in drug: resin ratio of 1:1. In-vitro drug release studies showed more than 90% drug release from the optimized formulation within 30 min. X-Ray diffraction studies revealed ranitidine hydrochloride to be present in amorphous form in resinates. Tablets were prepared containing Indion 204: drug complex using different diluents. Tablets containing resinates and commercial products were exposed to 75%RH to observe their effect on moisture absorption. The type of dosage form also influenced moisture absorption. Uncoated tablets absorbed maximum amount of moisture, capsule intermediate while coated tablets absorbed minimum. Formulated tablets containing microcrystalline cellulose absorbed minimum amount of moisture as compared to formulations containing lactose and mannitol. Tablets containing resinates exhibited similar dissolution profile with commercial tablets. Indion 204 was found to be better complexing agent for reducing the hygroscopicity and to design stable ranitidine hydrochloride tablets.
