An ethno-medicinal investigation was conducted for the documentation of the traditional knowledge of medicinal plants being used by the Manipuri community of north Tripura district. This present investigation provides valuable information about the different uses of plants in their primary health care system. The information had been documented by interviewing their own medicine man called Maiba or Maibi following different ethnobotanical methods. We have documented 43 plants species belonging to 35 families used for treating 42 human ailments. Among the medicinal plants reported, the most common growth form was herbs (55.81%) followed by trees (30.99%) and shrubs (13.95%). Leaves were the most frequently used plant parts. The high degree of consensus among the informants suggests that existing use and knowledge are still strong, and thus the preservation of indigenous knowledge would show good prudence in acting before much has been lost. This study also provides a better database for future studies. Accepted: 07 April 2016 Available Online: 06 May 2016

Mental Health and Marital Adjustment of Working Women

Mental health is very important for an individual’s effective living. World Health Organization (WHO, 2001) has defined health as a state of “complete physical, mental and social well being and not merely the absence of disease of infirmity”. Mental health is thus an important aspect of a person’s overall health. Psychologists define “Mental health as a state of being in peace with oneself and with one’s environment. ” It means that an individual is able to pursue reasonable, purposeful goals; use his capacities and talents fruitfully, experiences a sense of security, of belonging, of being respected; have knowledge that he is liked or loved or wanted; posses a sense of self-report, of selfreliance, and achievement and in addition, has learned to respect others, to accept others, to love others, to live fairly and in peace with others. In the last 50 years or so, India has witnessed profound changes in almost every aspect of women’s life. The present study was carried out the objective to examine the level of Mental Health and Marital Adjustment of working women. For this, we divide working women in two groupsoffice employees and teachers. For this purpose a total sample of 100 working women (50 office employees and 50 teachers, 30-50 years) were taken. Mental Health Inventory by Jagdish and Srivastava (1983) and Marital Adjustment Questionnaire by Pramod Kumar and Kanchana Rohtagi (1976) were used. The results revealed that there is no significant difference between office employees and teachers on the level of mental health and marital adjustment.

A HYBRID APPROACH FOR MEDICAL IMAGE RETRIVAL SYSTEM USING FOCS FRAMEWORK

- The proposed system uses a hybrid approach for the retrieval of medical diseases from MRI images is introduced. The main objective of this work is to retrieve the brain images from huge volume of medical image database with high accuracy by performing Feature Extraction, Feature Optimization, Feature Classification, and Similarity Measurement. This type of Content Based Medical Image Retrieval (CBMIR) is called Feature Optimized Classification Similarity (FOCS) framework. For a given brain query image, extract Texture Features using Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM) and Tamura Features. The optimized feature selection is done by Fuzzy adaptive Particle Swarm Optimization (FPSO) Technique. Based on the extracted features, the image classification process is applied to identify the relevant class of features and irrelevant class of features using Relevance Vector Machine (RVM) which yields an optimum solution with few training samples. The Euclidean Distance (ED) is used to find the similarity between the query image and database images. The retrieval algorithm performances are estimated in terms of precision and recall. This proposed framework is used to help the physician to obtain more confidence in their decisions for diagnosis and medical research students are passion to get the essential images successfully for further investigation of their research.
Modeling of Radiation Induced Damage and Thermal Effects on Avalanche Photodiodes Properties

Radiation-induced damage in Avalanche Photodiode (APD) was shown to result from the dark current and a change of the effective doping concentration occurring within the photodiodes. In this paper a model to reveals the effect of ionizing radiation, temperature and the reverse bias voltage on the optical properties of APDs is built by using Vissim environment. This proposed model provides a mean to control the properties of APD in thermal radiation environments. Detectivity, noise equivalent power, excess noise factor and normalized detectivity are modeled. The temperature effects are combined with radiation effects to formulate a rigours treatment for the APD behavior. The results are validated against published experimental work in temperature case and show good agreement.
Hypoglycemic Activity of Polygala erioptera (Whole Plant) in Normal and Alloxan Induced Diabetic Rats

Investigations were carried out to find out the hypoglycemic activity of alcoholic extract of Polygala erioptera Linn, in normal and diabetic albino rats and to evaluate its probable mechanism of hypoglycemic activity if any. Oral and intraperitoneal administration of the plant produced significant hypoglycemic effect in normal as well as hyperglycemic rats. It is suggested that the hypoglycemic activity of this plant may be mediated through enhancement of peripheral metabolism of glucose and increase in insulin release.
Performance of Comparison between AODV and Secured Protocol

In mobile ad hoc networks packets are relayed over multiple hops to reach their destination. Due to the features of open medium, dynamic topology, cooperative algorithms, lack of centralized monitoring and management point mobile ad-hoc networks are much more vulnerable to security attacks when compared to the wired networks. A number of secure routing schemes have been brought forward. However, existing anonymous routing protocols mainly consider anonymity and partial unlinkability in MANET. Complete unlinkability and unobservability are not guaranteed due to incomplete content protection. The main objective of the project is to provide an anonymous routing and secure communications in mobile ad hoc networks. Therefore a new on demand routing protocol called Unobservable Secure On demand Routing protocol (USOR) is proposed to offer complete unlinkability and content unobservability for all types of packets. USOR is efficient as it uses a novel combination of group signature and ID-based encryption for route discovery. Security analysis demonstrates that USOR can well protect user privacy against both inside and outside attackers. USOR is implemented by using ns2, and evaluate its performance by comparing with AODV.
Coverage and Lifetime Maximization of Wireless Sensor Network with Multi-Objective Evolutionary Algorithm

Coverage and lifetime maximization of wireless sensor networks is an area of interest for the researchers in recent years. Activating minimum number of sensor nodes while maintaining the coverage saves energy and extends the lifetime of wireless sensor network. In this paper we have presented a model for coverage and lifetime maximization using multi-objective optimization. The goal of the proposed work is to cover the maximum area of the target region by at least ksensor nodes to make the network fault tolerant and to extend the lifetime of wireless sensor network by dividing the set of sensors into maximum number of cover sets. In addition, we have also proposed an order based chromosome representation in NSGA-II which always gives disjoint cover sets and also has an advantage of not to specify the upper bound on the cover sets. A series of simulations are conducted and results obtained for the proposed model are better than for the other strategies found in the literature.

Management and visual outcomes of twenty-four cases of culture-proven acute bacterial endophthalmitis following intravitreal injection of contaminated bevacizumab in a single day.

Purpose: Bevacizumab requires compounding for off-label intravitreal injection and thus there is a risk of possible contamination during preparation. Here we describe the visual outcomes and management for a case series of culture-proven acute bacterial endophthalmitis following contaminated bevacizumab intravitreal injection performed in a single day. Design: Retrospective consecutive case series from a single site. Subjects: Patients who developed culture-proven acute endophthalmitis after receiving intravitreal injection with contaminated bevacizumab. Methods: All patients suspected of endophthalmitis had vitreous biopsy and microbial cultures prior to initiation of treatment. All patients were managed with immediate tap and injection of antibiotics (TAI) followed early by pars plana vitrectomy (PPV). Main outcome measures: Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) at three-month follow-up after treatment. Results: Twenty-four patients developed acute bacterial endophthalmitis following intravitreal injection of 24 contaminated bevacizumab single-dose syringes in a single day. All cases had culturepositive microbiology; 23 (95.8%) grew Streptococcus species and one (4.2%) grew Enterococcus species. Six cases (25.0%) had optic nerve atrophy, 3 (12.5%) developed retinal detachment (RD), one (4.2%) had vitreous hemorrhage and one (4.2%) had band keratopathy. At three-month follow-up, compared to BCVA at the time of initial presentation, 11 (45.8%) patients had improved vision; 8 patients (33.3%) had unchanged BCVA and 5 patients (20.8%) had worse BCVA. However, at threemonth follow-up, when compared to BCVA prior to endophthalmitis (baseline), 22 cases (91.7%) had significantly worse BCVA. Conclusion: Contamination of off-label bevacizumab poses devastating risk of endophthalmitis following intravitreal injection. The most common virulent pathogen was Streptococcus which portends poor visual prognosis and requires immediate aggressive management. Vigilance needs to continue to ensure that all possible safeguards are in place to prevent contamination during preparation of off-label bevacizumab for intravitreal injection.
Experiencing Flow: An Interpersonal Process View

Previous researches on Flow have focused on the intrapersonal aspect through which individuals can experience Flow. The balance between challenge and skill has been the most important precondition for Flow. However, Flow may be attainable through other methods especially in terms of historical and cultural perspectives. To provide an alternative explanation, the current study discussed Shinmyeong, a cultural phenomenon in Korea, and its specific process as a cultural form of Flow. People who experienced Shinmyeong reported that they began to experience it when they interacted with the others who were in the same place at the time of Shinmyeong experience. They thought every person there was exchanging the same feelings with one another and the feelings were amplified based on such beliefs. This interpersonal process regulated the intensity of Shinmyeong, and the way people experience it was constructed by culture. The cultural concept of Woori (we) was also discussed to understand the way of communication among Korean people, which may be the foundation of the interpersonal process in Shinmyeong experience.

Angelman syndrome (AS) is a rare genetic disorder, first described by Harry Angelman in 1965 [1]. Thus, three of his patients showed severe to profound intellectual disabilities, excessive laughing, jerky movements, and abnormal physical development. Because the three participants emphasized a flat head disorder, they were called "puppet children". Their common behavior was characterized by ataxia, lack of speech, learning difficulties, seizures, tongue protrusion, and motor impairments. A new unique distinct syndrome known as AS was identified.
REPARATION OF SOLID DISPERSIONS OF NSAIDS AND ITS MECHANISM OF DRUG POLYMERS INTERACTION

This work studied the mechanisms of interaction between Eudragit RSPO and RLPO polymers with 3 Nonsteroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs: Diflunisal (DIF), Flurbiprofen (FLU) and Piroxicam (PIR). Solid dispersions of Polymers and drugs at different weight ratios were prepared by coevaporation method. The resulting coevaporates were characterized in the solid state (Fourier-transformed infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) IR, Differential scanning calorimetry, Powder-x-ray diffractometry) as well as by studying the in vitro drug release in a gastroenteric environment. The preparative conditions did not induce changes in the crystalline state of the drugs (Amorphization or polymorphic change). RLPO & RSPO coevaporate usually displayed higher dissolution rates. However, the kinetic evaluation of the dissolution profile suggested that both the drug solubility in the external medium and its diffusion capacity within the polymer network are involved. In the sorption experiments, RLPO showed a greater adsorptive capacity than RSPO, in relation to the greater number of quaternary ammonium functions, which behave as activity sites for the electrostatic interactions. In the presence of Tris-HCl buffer (pH 7.4), drug adsorption was reduced, as a consequence of the competition of the chloride ions with drug anions for the polymer binding sites. DIF and FLU displayed a similar interaction with RSPO and RLPO active sites. PIR’s was different . The different molecular structures of these agents can justify such things. The presence of a carboxyl group (instead of another dissociable acidic moiety, like the hydroxy-enolic one in the PIR molecule) could help explain the strong interaction with RSPO and RLPO polymers’ quaternary ammonium centers. Preliminary studies like ours are important in helping develop better forecasting and increasing the understanding of the incorporation/release behavior of drugs from particulate delivery systems that can be made from these polymers.

MULTIDIMENSIONAL GROUPED BACKTRACKING BINARY SEARCH FOR REDUCED RFID TAG COLLISIONS

 Abstract — Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology has been attracting visibility for both suppliers and retailers. Though it is working successfully in current market, but, to widen its scope a lot of improvement in speed is needed. The collision in RFID tags is a major challenge for its efficiency. This paper considers the problem of reducing collisions for RFID tags, and, at the same time proposes an algorithm suited for multiple processing environments. The algorithm divides the tags in range into smaller groups, and, within each group it divides the tags into subgroups making a multidimensional structure. It reduces the concentration of tags within a group. In this way, the chances of collision will be reduced within a lowest level of subgroup, and, at the same time it creates an ideal condition for implementing a multiple receiver support. The paper is limited to the scope of algorithm, and, will not cover the hardware aspect of system. The algorithm is implemented using MATLAB and the results are also plotted using the same software.

Authenticating digital images with fair imperceptibility and high detection resolution is the challenge of today’s research. Various image watermarking techniques have been proposed in the last few years. The purpose of this paper is to provide a comprehensive review of existing literature available on image watermarking. This paper is organized to discuss steps in image watermarking, its applications, attributes, possible attacks, performance metrics and various methods.
FACTORS INFLUENCING MEDICATION ADHERENCE AMONG PATIENTS WITH DIABETES MELLITUS AND HYPERTENSION IN NIGERIA

Medication non-adherence results in increased morbidity, mortality and financial loss. Reasons for medication non-adherence are multifactorial. This cross-sectional study was conducted to determine the prevalence of, and factors contributing to medication non-adherence among patients with diabetes mellitus and hypertension attending some secondary and tertiary health care facilities in Lagos, Nigeria. Of the 100 patients, 32% were compliant with their medications. Most (39%) respondents were noncompliant because of lack of funds and cost of medication, 19% due to forgetfulness, 16% because they felt well, and 15% due to non-availability of drugs at the pharmacy. Other reasons for non-compliance include illnesses (9%), side effects of medications (1%) and misinterpretation of prescription (1%). Among the socio-demographic variables studied, only male gender was positively associated with medication compliance. Adherence to anti-diabetics and anti-hypertensives was low. Both health system and patients’ related issues contributed to poor compliance and these should be addressed to improve medication adherence.
Clinical Features and Subtypes of Ischemic Stroke Associated with Peripheral Arterial Disease

Aim: The prognosis of patients with coronary artery disease or stroke accompanied by peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is poor. The purpose of this study was to investigate the subtypes and clinical features of stroke with and without PAD. Methods: The ankle brachial index (ABI) was used to diagnose PAD in patients with acute ischemic stroke hospitalized from July 2014 to April 2015 in South Korea. The symptoms of PAD were surveyed using a questionnaire. Data collected included age, sex, hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, obesity, current smoking, old stroke history, National Institute of Health Stroke Scale score, atrial fibrillation, coronary arterial disease, and stroke subtypes. Results: In total, 342 patients were enrolled, of whom 25 (7.3%) were diagnosed with PAD (ABI < 0.9); of these patients, four (18.7%) exhibited typical symptoms. Compared to patients without PAD, those with PAD had higher mean age (74.08 ± 9.97 vs. 65.07 ± 12, p = 0.01) and mean NIHSS score (7.24 ± 7.03 vs. 4.57 ± 5.42, p = 0.02). Moreover, patients with PAD exhibited atrial fibrillation (20% vs. 5.6%, odds ratio [OR] 4.19, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.67 10.47, p < 0.01) and CAD (20% vs. 6.3%, OR 3.71, 95% CI 1.26 10.92, p = 0.02) more often than those without PAD. The subtypes of ischemic stroke were significantly different based on the presence of PAD (chi-square test, p = 0.03). In particular, compared to patients without PAD, those with PAD had a higher distribution of cardioembolism (38.9% vs. 18.0, OR 2.90, 95% CI 1.04 8.02, p = 0.05) and lower distribution of small vessel disease (16.7% vs. 43.9%, OR 0.25, 95% CI 0.07 0.91, p = 0.02). Of the 342 patients, 25 (7.3%) had only CAD and five (1.4%) had both CAD and PAD. Conclusion: This study revealed that Korean patients with acute ischemic stroke have lower comorbidity with PAD and CAD compared with patients of other ethnicities. Moreover, patients with PAD were older and had severe neurologic deficits. Atrial fibrillation and CAD may be associated with comorbid PAD in acute stroke.
