Abstract

The primitive cells also known as the stem cells are miraculous cells that can regenerate into various organs such as the heart, bones, muscles and nervous system. The emergence of stem cell technology and the successful impact of the stem cells research has brought ray of hope to the diseased population of the world. Remarkable responses have been created in the medical specialties by stem cell therapies with the most popularized concept of cord blood which has helped in many major diseases like Thalassemia, Alzheimer’s disease. Likewise stromal cells of menstrual origin or Menses-Menstrual Blood –Derived Stem Cells have demonstrated cells to be equally multi potent like the umbilical cord blood and the dental pulp stem cells except for the myth among the public that the menstrual blood is a bad blood that needs to be discarded. Menstrual stem cells could offer a lot of advantages over the other stem cells as the source is easy to find because every woman is a source, quantity available is more, the fear of tissue rejection is minimal and above all the question of ethical issues related to using embryonic stem cells are avoided. Researchers across the globe have come to a conclusion that the cells derived from menstrual blood may represent a potentially unlimited, easily available and cost effective source used in regenerative therapies. The electronic databases using which was done were Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), Medical Literature Online (Medline), Pub med, EBSCO, Embase, and Science Direct. The search terms include Menstruation, Menstrual Blood, and Menstrual Blood Stem Cells. Menstrual Blood Banking, Endometrial Stem Cells. Menstrual Regenerative Cells. Menstrual Blood Banking appears to be an innovative, promising, cost effective, novel and ethically acceptable alternative concept which needs to be popularized in the field of medicine.

Abstract

The relationship between schizophrenia and celiac disease (CD) has been reported in the research literature for over 70 years. CD is a T-cell mediated autoimmune inflammatory disease of the small intestine and is activated by the consumption of prolamins found in wheat, rye, oats or barley in genetically predisposed individuals. Incidence and prevalence rates for CD in the United States (US) are widespread, affecting 1% of the aggregate population in not at-risk groups, or1 out of 133 persons. Gluten, the trigger for CD and cause for damage to the lining of the small intestine, has been demonstrated to impair the nervous system. Neurologic disorders including ataxia, epilepsy and headache have been well documented in the literature. Psychiatric conditions including depression, anxiety and schizophrenia have also been studied with great interest among adults and children with CD. Additionally, impaired cognitive function has also been reported in individuals with CD and schizophrenia. Past and current studies on schizophrenia have demonstrated a reduction in psychotic symptoms following adherence to a gluten-free diet, however studies with smaller sample sizes showed no significant differences. Recommendations for future empirical research to further investigate the relationship between schizophrenia, cognitive function and CD are discussed.

Abstract

The purpose of this study were in two fold namely to determine the knowledge, practices and, challenges as well as the information sources of stroke survivors and also educational practices by stroke management team with regard to secondary stroke prevention, Khomas Region, Namibia.A quantitative, descriptive and explorative design was used. Data was collected from (n=8) stroke management team members and (n=60) stroke survivors discharged stroke survivors from the Katutura State Hospital, in year 2012. Collected data was analysed using Epi Info statistical package version 5.3.1.Although the stroke management team participated in this study acknowledged that they played a role in the health education of stroke survivors with regard to prevention of secondary stroke, it appears that Knowledge and practice on secondary stroke prevention among stroke survivors is very low despite the availability information sources available. The study also revealed that half of the stroke survivors who participated in the study were unable to name a single appropriate action to take to prevent secondary stroke. A significant proportion of stroke survivors also continue to smoke and or consume alcohol contrary to expectations and recommendations. Only a relatively small percentage of stroke survivors comply with lifestyle changes prescribed to them such as diet modification and engaging in physical exercise.

Abstract

Oxidation of di carboxylic acid viz- tartaric acid by pyridiniumdichromate (PDC) in perchloric acid medium has been studied. Active oxidizing species involved is protonated PDC. First order plot log (a-x) versus time is broken in two straight lines. Some induction period is also observed. Effect of concentration of substrate, PDC, HClO4, Mn (II), Ce (III) and ionic strength has been investigated. Thermodynamic parameters have been evaluated. Energy of activation is 53.14 and 56.58 kJ mol-1 for two successive stages of oxidation. Entropy of activation is low and negative. Although the activation energy does not correspond to C-C bond breaking, but the reaction products indicate C-C bond breaking. Suitable mechanism has been proposed involving complex formation.

Abstract

Aim: The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence of primary dysmenorrhea, its impact in life quality also non-pharmacological treatment methods. Method: This was a cross sectional study conducted in 2015. In this study participated 320 female students of the Faculty of Technical Medical Sciences, University of Medicine, Tirana, Albania. For the data collection was used a questionnaire. Results: The prevalence of primary dysmenorrhea was 85%. The severity of pain referred by students was: 50% moderate pain, 34% severe pain, and 16% mild pain. 51% of students don’t use drugs to relieve the menstrual pain, while 49% use painkiller. The medications used to treat or reduce the symptoms of dysmenorrhea were: 43% Acetaminophen, 41% Ibuprofen, 9% Mefenamic acid, 6% Aspirin and 2% Naproxen. Over 86% females included in this study, use self-management strategies for menstrual pain. Among the most used non-pharmacological strategies of self-management to reduce the pain were: sleeping 54 %, resting 47.4%, lie on one’s stomach 37.1 %, wearing loose garments 34.5 %, etc. Also resulted that the most affected activity by the dysmenorrhea were: concentration during classes 76.8%, daily activity 75.7%, and relations with friends 51.8%, social activity 50%, the family relationship 47.8%, test results 45.9%, school attendance 41.5% and participation in exams 23.5%.Conclusions: Dysmenorrhea and accompanying symptoms have a negative impact on a significant number of students by influencing their physical, social and the academic activity. Non-pharmacological methods should be promoted more and more because they are easy to use, cost effective and without adverse collateral effects.

Abstract

The cultivated species “Zea mays L.” belongs to family poaceae (Graminae) which is the fifth largest family consisting of 10,000 species and at least 600 genera, unquestionably the most important family providing majority of food. In the present study, the experiment pro-tray method was conducted at Krishi vigyan Kendra (KVK) Ujjain (M.P.) to find out the possible effects of different microbial seed treatments includes Phosphorus solubilizing bacteria (PSB), Trichoderma viride and Azatobacter on seed germination, seedling length, vigour index and its contributing characters and subsequent seed quality parameters of maize. These microbial inoculants were thoroughly mixed with compost @ 15g/Kg compost before sowing. Results of the study showed that all treatments significantly enhanced seed germination, seedling length, Seedling vigour, chlorophyll content and leaf area of maize. The highest germination percentage (83.8%), Shoot length (25.8%), Root length (10.1%), total seedling length (35.3cm), seedling dry weight (0.27mg), Seedling vigour index SV-I (3429 mg), Vigour index SV-II (26.3mg), Leaf area (16.35 cm2) and Chlorophyll content like Chl. a, Chl. b and Total chl. (0.4948 mg/g, 0.4521 mg/g and 0.9466mg/g) and other parameters were obtained in seeds treated with Phosphorus solubilizing bacteria (PSB) followed by Azatobacter and Trichoderma viride. Hence, the results suggested that seeds treated with these microbial treatments can be considered as efficient alternative bio-fertilizers to promote better seed quality in terms of germination percentage, shoot length, Root length, seedling length, seedling dry weight, vigour index, leaf area and chlorophyll content.
