Abstract

The learn of Sphaeranthus amaranthoides Burn, were examined for their antioxidant, antimutagenic, antimicrobial and phytochemical activities. Preliminary evaluation of both crude and solvent fractions showed a broad spectrum of activity since the extracts inhibit the growth of both bacterial and fungal isolates. The inhibitory activity of plant extracts on the peroxidation of linolic acid were measured by fericthiocynate methodo. Ethonolic extract showed strong antioxidant activity and antimicrobial activity against to the bacteria, (K.pneumoniae, S. typhi, E.coli, P.aeroginosa, S.aureus) and fungus (A.nidulans, A.terreus, A.sulphureus, Candida albicans and Fusarium sp.) cultures. Due to the phytochemical diversity in the antioxidant phytocompounds, the above results were expected. It almost rich in carotenes, Neoxanthin, chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b, lutein, violexanthin, pheophytin, which may have been responsible for the antioxidant, antimicrobial and for phytochemical activity. For antimutagenic activity using sodium azide to induce the chemical compound of Sphaeranthus amaranthoides Burn, to prevent the degenerative cells and results further support the view that some Indian medicinal plants are source for potential antioxidants.

Abstract

Young kids are generally under parental supervision in safe settings and are therefore less probable to be subjected to significant accidents, occupational trauma, or interpersonal violence typical of adult facial fractures. Understanding the causes, seriousness and particular features of paediatric fractures is vital to avoid esthetic and functional deficits and will enhance our capacity to avoid accidents.

Keywords

Facial Trauma, Tomography.

Abstract

Ultrasonography is used as a first line imaging technique to differentiate between acute and chronic kidney diseases in type 2 diabetes. The renal parenchymal thickness of left and right kidneys were compared and a detailed documentation was made. Our study included adult male and female population who were known case of Diabetes Mellitus, above 18 years of age and biochemically diagnosed for nephropathy. All patients were subjected to ultrasonography evaluation of the renal parenchymal thickness and the findings were documented.

Keywords

Ultrasonography, Type II Diabetes.

Abstract

The most prevalent liver disease is alcoholic liver disease (ALD). It is undervalued and diagnosed. An early diagnosis is totally vital as it helps define patients at genetic danger for ALD; can cause effective abstinence, particularly in non-addicted patients; and start screening programs to avoid complications that threaten life. In the evaluation of liver fibrosis in alcoholic liver disease, acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) elastography has excellent usefulness. For several liver wounds, liver fibrosis is a prevalent condition. Our study was done on 50 patient suspected to have alcoholic liver disease for ultrasound scan of abdomen. The mean liver stiffness in normal patients was found to be 1.087 m/s. Mean ARFI velocity in ALD in our research, the biopsy was 1.83 m/s. ARFI imaging is a successful imaging method for evaluating the existence or lack of developed fibrosis in liver disease patients

Abstract

Eagle syndrome is group of symptoms caused by an elongated ossified styloid process, the cause of which remains unclear. This is a rare finding that often goes undetected in the absence of radiographic studies. Eagle syndrome can occur unilaterally or bilaterally and most frequently results in symptoms of dysphagia, headache, pain on rotation of the neck, pain on extension of the tongue, change in voice, and a sensation of hypersalivation. In this case, we present the diagnostic CT and lateral view plain film radiography findings of a 42-year-old woman with clinical evidence of Eagle syndrome.

Abstract

Osteopoikilosis is a rare autosomal dominant or sporadic osteosclerotic dysplasias characterised by homogenous, small, multiple, discrete, symmetric round or ovoid radio densities in cancellous bones. Recognition of this asympomatic condition by plain radiograph makes other expensive investigations unnecessary. Here we present a case report of 28 yrs-old male incidentally found to have osteopoikilosis.

Abstract

Energy is a vague side effect or feeling that incorporates sensations, for example, faintness, discombobulation, vertigo and unevenness. The reason for the examination was to assess the job of attractive reverberation imaging (MRI) in diagnosing the reason for energy in symptomatic patients with age and sex dispersion of patients of happiness with noteworthy discoveries on MRI. An imminent companion study was directed in 106 patients who gave happiness. X-ray outputs of these patients were investigated, and we presumed that MRI can effectively exhibit the huge discoveries which cause energy.

Abstract

CT colonoscopy is a newer submodality of imaging in Computed tomography specifically being used for colorectal evaluation. The aim of work is to evaluate and describe the role of CT colonoscopy for various colorectal pathologies in patients with lower GI symptoms.

Subject and Methods: Our study included 50 patients with lower GI sypmtoms; 16 had inflammatory bowel disease, 6 of them had colorectal malignancy, 7 had polyps, 8 had hemorrhoid. All patients were subjected to CT colonoscopy examination and results were compared to conventional colonoscopy and documented by histopathology in all cases to determine the efficacy of CT colonoscopy.

Results: The results in our study showed that CT colonoscopy is a considerably efficient modality in evaluation colonic pathologies. when compared to conventional colonoscopy and further helps in delineating the locoregional extent of the lesion-n.

Abstract

On MR pictures, the unicornuate uterus is effectively analyzed. X-ray has a high delicate tissue differentiate which gives magnificent picture quality for dependable location and portrayal of pathology in the female pelvis. The symptomatic yield of all the pelvic MRI assessments significantly depends on the cautious arranging of imaging planes utilized. The standard convention for pelvic imaging contains unenhanced Tl - and T2-weighted arrangements. Pelvic life systems is all around pictured on T2 weighted picture (T2WI). MRI pictures should be gotten in at any rate two opposite planes for satisfactory assessment of the objective organs.

Energy is a vague side effect or feeling that incorporates sensations, for example, faintness, wooziness, vertigo and unevenness. The reason for the examination was to assess the job of attractive reverberation imaging (MRI) in diagnosing the reason for happiness in symptomatic patients. A planned companion study was directed in 106 patients who gave happiness. X-ray sweeps of these patients were dissected, and we reasoned that MRI can effectively exhibit the noteworthy discoveries which cause happiness.
