The rise in population in the developing world is over whelming and this intensifies the need for effective birth control measures. The synthetic agents available today for fertility control produce severe side effects. Such as hormonal imbalance, hypertension, increased risk of cancer and weight gain. Thus there is a need to replace these agents by safe and effective agents such as plants based contraceptive agents.
Therefore, the present study was under taken to explore the abotifacient and antiovulatory activity of ethanol extract of henna ischolar_mains. Thus, the successive ethanolic extract showed promising strong abotifacient and antiovulatory activity was observed at dose level of 400mg/kg body weight. Histological studies were carried out to confirm this effect.

Kidney stones, one of the most painful of the urologic disorders, are not a product of modern life. Scientists have found evidence of kidney stones in a 7000 year old Egyptian mummy. Unfortunately, kidney stones are one of the most common disorders of the urinary tract. In 2000, patients made 2.7 million visits to health care providers and more than 600,000 patients went to emergency rooms for kidney stone problems. So, we have explained the theories of kidney stone formation, Diagnostic procedures and treatments for the kidney stones.Keywords
