 Abstract

Nasal cytology directly reflects nasal inflammation and is an important tool in the diagnosis and treatment of rhinitis. There is no single test as a gold standard for the diagnosis of allergic rhinitis, but nasal smear for eosinophilia has been recommended as a tool for the diagnosis. It is a simple, cheap, non-invasive, reproducible, easy to perform and cost-effective as compared to other tests like skin prick test or radio-allergo-sorbent test, and also it is easily repeated on the same patient, which is essential in both the follow-up of the disease and to monitor the efficacy of medical and surgical interventions. Eosinophils in the nasal smear have been reported to display the best correlation with all the clinical and immunological parameters in allergic rhinitis. Despite its simplicity and proven utility in giving direction to the diagnostic study of many nasal diseases, nasal cytology paradoxically still remains underuse. There are several possible collection methods for nasal cytology, including nasal smear, swab, scraping, nasal lavage, and irrigation. The present literary review was undertaken to integrate the knowledge of nasal smear for eosinophils as the diagnostic tool in the diagnosis and treatment of nasal allergies. Details and facts on nasal smear for eosinophils were gathered from the published journals, PubMed, google scholar, research gate by using words like nasal secretion, nasal smear for eosinophil, nasal cytology, allergic rhinitis, biological markers etc., then analyzed and summarized the data. Therefore, it is concluded that the nasal smear for eosinophils is a well-known, cost-effective and easy to apply diagnostic method in the diagnosis and treatment of nasal allergies.

Abstract The materialization and evolution of digital sequence information as a speedier, inexpensive and more precise tool, which advances the opportunities as well as challenges for benefits sharing has been followed by the speedy technological advancement. The DSI plays an affirmative role in conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity (i.e., the first two objectives of CBD) and enables the free access to genetic resources without tangibly accessing them. The fact that DSI enables access to genetic information of an organism without physically accessing it, directs much of the emphasis of discussions towards impact of DSI on sharing of benefits arising from the utilization of GRs, which constitutes the third objective of CBD, operationalized through the Nagoya Protocol while acknowledging that the three objectives of the Convention are interlinked and mutually supportive. This Research paper aims to study the impact of DSI on ABS Regime.

 Abstract

Quantity of drinking water have great importance, this thought inspired us to conduct this project. The study aimed to assess the suitability of the well waters around an industry for domestic purposes. The main physio-chemical water quality analysis of the parameters like turbidity, conductivity, pH, acidity, chlorides, dissolved oxygen, total solids, iron, COD, BOD etc., were conducted and the extent of the pollution of groundwater was analyzed.

 Abstract

Background Coronavirus or COVID-19 is a highly infectious diseases which was first reported in Hubei province of Wuhan city, China and subsequently spread to other countries of world. There were limited studies available in the database on risk of mortality was not well summarized. Current review of observational studies was done to summarize the findings on the association between age, gender, comorbidities and laboratory investigations and risk of death from COVID-19 infection. Methodology PubMed, PubMed Central, EMBASE, MEDLINE were searched for the studies in English language and date specified to after 2020. Results In total, 10 studies were included in this review. A total of 1469 patients included in Non-survivor group, while 22675 patients were included in survivor group. In meta-analysis, significant associations were found between Age (p-value <0.0001), comorbidities like Diabetes (p-value <0.00001), Hypertension (p-value 0.05), Cardiovascular diseases (p-value <0.00001) and risk of death from COVID 19. Additionally, it was also observed that those patients included in non-survivor had elevated levels of D-dimer (MD, -2.73, 95% CI, -5.73 to 0.28), CRP (MD, -66.10, 95% CI, -97.01 to -35.20), Interleukin-6 (MD, -4.70, 95% CI, -7.59 to -1.81), WBC count (MD, -3.88, 95% CI, -5.80 to -1.96) and decreased Albumin levels Albumin (MD, 3.98, 95% CI, 1.66 to 6.29) compared to survivor group. Conclusion Elder age more than 65 years, Hypertension, Diabetes, Cardiovascular diseases, elevated D-dimer, Interleukin-6, WBC count and CRP were mostly associated with mortality in patients with COVID-19. Keywords COVID-19, Mortality, D-dimer, Interleukin-6, CRP.

 Abstract

Synthesis of silver and gold nanoparticles from the biomedical plant, Rotula aquatica, using microwave irradiation is reported here. Confirmations of nanoparticles formation were executed using UV-vis. spectroscopy, identification of the functional groups in the plant chemicals responsible for reduction and capping of the nanoparticles were done by FTIR spectroscopy. Confirmation of crystalline character of the synthesized nanoparticles was conducted by XRD analysis. Investigation of catalytic activity of the synthesized nanoparticles on the degradation of the congo red dye. The antibacterial activities of the plant extract, silver and gold nanoparticles were performed in reference to a standard antibiotic by well diffusion pathway.

 Abstract

The key difference between traditional teaching techniques and new-age smart learning education is the use of tools and equal participation of teachers and students. Smart learning education system attempts at developing quick learning skills where teachers participate with students via learning tools and techniques. The present study reveals the awareness and attitudes of high school students of backward district Bellary in Karnataka State. The results says that the English medium students were got more awareness of smart class than that of Kannada medium students. This is because all most all English medium schools were providing opportunity to their student attained smart classes.

Discrimination against hijras in the developing world is a devastating reality. It results in number of individual tragedies. Hijras have been denied space, isolated and humiliated, considered as the lowest of the low. The invisible chains of the society deny them family and love. They are denied space because of their position in the society. The discrimination against hijras hampers their growth at social, economic and personal level.
