Acute subdural hematoma (ASDH) constitutes one of the most critical emergencies in neurosurgery and rapid spontaneous resolution of ASDH is an infrequent phenomenon. Several mechanisms have been attributed to explain this phenomenon including redistribution of subdural blood, dilution by cerebral spinal fluid and brain atrophy. We report on a patient with severe head injury following road traffic accident, which showed rapid resolution of ASDH and also discuss the mechanism of spontaneous resolution and the value of neurological exam in conservative management of such patients with good neurological status.

The present study focuses on the development of nanoparticle system for antimicrobial drug delivery. Nanoparticles particular have some unique physicochemical properties such as ultrasmall and controllable size, large surface area to mass ratio, high reactivity and functional sable structure .This properties can be applied to facilitate the administration of antimicrobial drug. In this experiment we have evaluated the poly hexed cyanoacrylate (PHDCA) nanoparticle and studied its antimicrobial activity. In the experiment firstly PHDCA was dissolve in acetone then instant precipitation was occurred and then ultracentrifugation was done. After adding the distilled water PHDCA nanoparticles were observed. Nanoparticles tracking analysis confirmed the mean particle size for the entire nanoparticle within the range of 10nm to 54nm. The sequential reduced PHDCA nanoparticle incorporated in core shell arrangement were detected at 324nm nm with the aid of UV-Visible spectrophotometer. Poly hexade cyanoacrylate nanoparticle has gram negative charge and it inhibit/ kill the growth of the gram positive bacteria. The maximum lethality of nanoparticles was observed for Streptococcus pneumonia followed by Staphylococcus aurous while Escherichia coli found to be least susceptible organism for the PHDCA nanoparticle and for the bacteria Pseudomonas aeruginosa has no effect of PHDCA nanoparticle on it. 

Human reproductive behaviour and human sexual behaviour are subsumed under generic human behaviour. But when discriminated in a subtle way, we see that though both look alike, they are quite different from each other. When, on the one hand, the human reproductive behaviour is mainly socio-cultural in nature and on the other hand it is physio-psychological too. Age at coitus refers to be the age at which a man experiences heterosexual relationship for the first time. If a sexual relationship is established forcefully by a male against the wishes or willingness of the female, then such a physical contact is called imposed coitus. Contrary to imposed coitus is showing a total disinclination to sex (mainly by the male partner) resulting into a sexual deprivation of the woman. If a male declines even when the woman shows her desire for sex and are ready for coitus with him. From such illustrations, the point is clear that different conceptions are at work behind human reproductive behaviours and sexual behaviour. But from the point of view of reproductive health both human behaviour are of paramount importance. Keeping such groundswell of conceptions and consideration in mind, to measure the reproductive and sexual behaviour of the males, the parameters like age at first coitus, frequency of coitus, imposed coitus, sexual indifference, sexual apathy, premarital and post-marital sexual relationship, coitus during pregnancy, menstruation, etc., will be held up to evaluation and their effect on reproductive health of any community should be critically examined.

The present study was aimed to study attitude towards androgynization of roles and emotional maturity among males and females working in male dominated professions. A sample of 130 male and female employees working in male dominated professions such as manufacturing units, state transport service, private cabs, petrol pumps, etc in Pune City,Maharashtra were selected. Their age range was 20 to 40 years and minimum qualification was 10th Std. They responded to Attitude Towards Androgynization of Roles Scale (ATARS) by Bisht (1987) and Emotional Maturity Scale by Singh & Bhargava (2012). 

The result showed that there is gender difference (t=6.88) on attitude towards androgynization of roles among individuals working in male dominated professions, gender difference (t=5.15) on Model as dimension of ATARS, gender difference (t=5.97) on Prescription of Behaviour) as dimension of ATARS, gender difference (t=5.61) on Reinforcement of Behaviour as dimension of ATARS, gender difference (t=5.74) on Exposure to varied occupations (EVO) as dimension of ATARS, gender difference (F=8.67) on emotional maturity among individuals working in male

dominated professions, gender difference (F=4.84) on emotional progression as a dimension of emotional maturity, gender difference (F=4.18) on social adjustment as a dimension of emotional maturity, gender difference (F=6.70) on personality integration as a dimension of emotional maturity, gender difference (F=15.08) on state of being independent as a dimension of emotional maturity, and no gender difference (F=3.14) on emotional stability as a dimension of emotional maturity; positive correlation (r=0.247) between attitude towards androgynization of roles and emotional maturity among males and females working in male dominated professions. All results are significant at 0.05 level. 

Background: Blood transfusion is an essential part of modern health system. Blood grouping plays an essential part of blood transfusion service. ABO and Rh blood are most important in human being among the blood group system. Frequency of blood group among different population varies throughout the world even in different parts of the country.

Methodology:   It is a retrospective study, conducted at Saharia’s Blood Bank of Guwahati over a period of eight years from 2008 -2015 .Blood group of the donors 33382 were determined by commercially available antisera by test tube method.

Results: The Study shows the distribution of ABO blood groups as O+ (11720), O- (444),  A+ (8480), A- (311), B+ (9304), B- (293), AB+ (2766) and AB- (64). While looking at ABO grouping it is noticed that the grouping is comparable to a study done   in Bangalore in Karnataka and another study done in Kanchipuram district, Tamil Nadu. These studies usually follow the asciatic trend of O>B>A>AB. It shows Rh distribution as 32270 (96.66%) donors to be Rh positive and 1112 (3.33%) donors to be Rh negative.

Conclusion: Knowledge of data of blood group data in population not only helps in blood transfusion services about the availability of human blood in regional calamities, but also serves to enable insight into possibilities of future burden of diseases. 

Castor is one of the important non edible oilseed crops in India. The objective of this work was to estimate the incidence of Botrytis ricini on castor seed using different seed health test methods. A total sixty nine samples were collected from retail shops, APMC markets, fields and farmers of different agro-climatic regions of Karnataka kharif during - 2011. Among all the collected

samples, five samples show a higher incidence of B.  ricini and other fungi, were selected for PDA, Water agar and 2,4-D methods.  The incidence of seed infection was 14.8 percent on a selective medium for standard blotter method (SBM), Potato dextrose agar medium 8.8 percent (PDA), Water agar medium 7.8 percent and 2,4-D  11.4 percent (2,4, Dichloro phenoxy acetic acid) methods respectively. Determine the rate of pathogenicity under green house conditions. B.ricini showed the symptoms of gray mold were observed in zero percent in one month seedlings, 0-10 percent in two month seedlings and 10-40 percent gray mold in three month old plants, no gray mold observed in water treatment plants. Among the sample collected field and farmers samples show a higher incidence of B.  ricini and other fungi. The seed health test methods, SBM is most superior for isolating the B.  ricini, pathogenic and saprophytic fungi. The present study is concentrated on detection of B.  ricini and its pathogenicity were discussed.  B. ricini is a causal agent of gray mold disease of castor crop. 

Local Binary Pattern (LBP) is a kind of discriminative texture descriptor for characterization of face patterns. However, the value of LBP operator is greatly changed under non-monotonic intensity transformations. In this paper, a novel illumination-invariant face recognition algorithm that applies LBP descriptor is proposed to overcome the performance degradation of LBP descriptor caused by varying illumination conditions. In our proposed method, the high gradient of image is first determined. The gradient of an image measures how it is changing. Using the image gradient the boundary of an image would be identified easily even if the illumination changes. Then, powerful LBP operator is applied only to the high gradient of image to derive a distinctive and robust representation for face patterns in images and the low gradient of images are discarded. We compared the recognition accuracy of the proposed algorithm with that of traditional PCA-based, Baysian-based, EBGM-based and raw LBP-based method on FERET face database. Another advantage of our proposed method is its computational simplicity, so it is very suitable for real-time manipulation.

The study of physical, aerodynamic and mechanical properties of food grains are important and essential in the design of processing machines, storage structures and processes. The shape and size are important in the separation from foreign material and in the design and development of grading and sorting machineries. Study on engineering properties of local variety of finger millet was conducted as a function of moisture content varying from 10 to 20 % (wb) to generate information as an aid for design, development and modification of handling, processing equipments/ machine and storage system. In this moisture range, length of finger millet grain increased by 48.44 %, width was increased by 51.33 % and thickness was increased by 62.50 %. The thousand seed mass, surface area and angle of repose also increased with increasing moisture levels. True density increased from 1100 to 1233 kg/m3, the bulk density decreased from 730.80 to 701.03 kg/m3. The porosity of the finger millet grain was found to increase from 33.56 to 43.14 %. Regression equations that could be used to adequately express the relationship existing between the above properties and seed moisture were established.

Generally knitted fabrics are worn next to the human skin. So the way the wearer would feel depends on the nature of the fabric. When the temperature of the surroundings increases, the human body undergoes some changes to keep the body cool and sweating is the most common way of releasing the heat through by secreting a type of fluid to the skin and evaporating the sweat which reduces the body temperature and cools the body. But instead of evaporating, if the sweat is just absorbed by the worn cloth and kept in contact with the skin by wet cloth, it causes discomfort and the body cooling process doesn’t take place properly. Tests were done to measure the drying rate of single jersey plain and 1×1 rib fabric and the later was found better. Fabrics with higher stitch length also showed better drying rate for both fabric structures. The reasons behind these results have been discussed in this work.

Introduction: The use of pan masala has gone up in the past five years and was commonly found among youngsters. According to World Health Organization estimates, there are nearly 2.5 crore tobacco users in India, including both smoked and chewed forms and it is one of the most important risk factors for the development of oral mucosal lesions including oral pre-cancer and cancer.

Aim: The aim of the study was to assess the oral cavity lesions among pan chewers of building construction workers. 

Materials and methods:  Descriptive research design was used to conduct the study with 30 samples who met the inclusion criteria were selected by Purposive sampling technique. Collected socio demographic variables followed by oral examination done to assess the oral cavity lesions by using check list. Collected data were analyzed by using descriptive statistics.

Result: Regarding of oral cavity lesions among pan chewers   4(13%) had angular cheilitis, 9(30%) had leukoplakia, 8(27%) had gingivitis, 27(90%) had discolouration of teeth.

Conclusion: The study findings concluded that the number of pan chewers is increasing and simultaneously incidence of oral cancer also increasing. Health care personnel should take responsibility to create the awareness on magnitude of the ill effects of pan masala and educate them to quit the habit of taking pan masala. 

The current review focuses on the diverse molecular targets modulated by curcumin that contribute to its efficacy against colon cancers. Curcumin, (diferuloylmethane) is a yellow pigment present in the spice turmeric (Curcuma longa) polyphenolic constituent, is the  most active ingredient in the traditional herbal remedy. Dietary spice turmeric is obtained from the rhizome. It has been associated with over 150 potentially therapeutic activities, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, antiviral, and antibacterial activities as indicated by many citations. Research has shown curcumin to be a highly pleiotropic molecule capable of interacting with numerous molecular targets involved in inflammation. Based on early cell culture and animal research, clinical trials indicates curcumin may have potential as a therapeutic agent in diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease, pancreatitis, arthritis, and chronic anterior uveitis, as well as certain types of cancer. Because of curcumin's rapid plasma clearance and conjugation, its therapeutic usefulness has been somewhat limited, leading researchers to investigate the benefits of complexing curcumin with other substances to increase systemic bioavailability. Numerous clinical trials in progresses should provide an even deeper understanding of the mechanisms and therapeutic potential of curcumin on colon cancer. As discussed in this review, various scientific reports revealed that curcumin has demonstrated powerful anti-cancer effects in a variety of malignancies via its effects on a host of biological pathways involving a number of transcription factors, growth factors, inflammatory cytokines, protein kinases, and other oncogenic molecules in tumorigenesis and cellular growth. The anticancer activities of curcumin derive from its complex chemistry as well as its ability to influence multiple signalling pathways. Curcumin has shown anti-proliferative effect in multiple cancers, and is an inhibitor of the transcription factor NF-κB and downstream gene products (cmyc, Bcl-2, COX-2, NOS, Cyclin D1, TNF-α, interleukins and MMP-9). The objective of current review is to highlight reports on use of curcumin in treatment of colon cancer and its antiinflammatory properties.

The conjunction of computer grid and telecommunications enabled by the digital tools has given birth to a common area called ''cyberspace''. This cyberspace has developed a stage for a galaxy of social activities, which congregate on the Internet. Several nations do not share the earnestness to combat cyber crimes for numerous motives, including unusual values regarding piracy or espionage or the need to address more pressing societal problems. These countries, inadvertently or not, present the cyber criminals with a safe haven to operate. The present research paper throws light on cyber crimes.
