Indian Forester, Vol 138, No 5 (2012), Pagination: 480-483Abstract
Bhakhar is the core component in the preparation of Chotta Nagpur rice beer - Handia, Daru and Kulu (Pueraria) herb beer. It is made up of pulverised, uncooked 'atap' rice (including the 'rice soaked water') and 'Ili-ranu' (i.e., rice beer medicine) at 20:1 ratio. Specified twenty eight herbs used in preparation of Bhakhar are documented and the method of its prepared was recorded. On the newly prepared raw Bhakhar - dust of a dozen old Bhakhars is applied. After three to four days, the raw cakes become full-fledged Bhakhars.Keywords

Histochemical experiments were carried out to demonstrate the nature of the pigment in the stem of a variety of tamarind. This variety is red fruited and the pigment has anthocyanins Morphological distinctions of this variety from that of the type, Tamarindus Indica L., have been noted. Voigt designated it as a infraspeciflc taxon rhodocarpa. The omitted Latin diagnosis and the type materials have been cited.- The Vascular Cambia of Dodder and its Allies

The vascular cambia of 20 species of the dodder and its allies belonging to the CassythaceaE, Convolvulaceae and Cuscutaceae were surveyed to assess their phenetic and phylogenetic significance. In natural condition all of them contain anomalous cambia. The Cassythaceae bore transitory cambium in the normal position but atypical by asmmetric activity. (The Cambium alternatelt retards accemtuates xylem formation on several segments and there are profuse sehizongenous spaces in wood. Haustoria contains both traheids and vessels).
In stems and ischolar_mains of the Convolvulaceae a series of widely different anomalous cambia were found which sometimes differed in stems and ischolar_mains of the same species. Stems of arborescent group had bands of interxylary phloem in concentric rings, while in the primitive twiners these are arranged in radial plates. In general, a tendency was to increase the proportion of soft tissue. In Cuscutaceae the specified anomaly was the interfascicular cambium. Ray initials were absent but fusiform initials differentiated into profuse parenchyma cells and a few vessel elements.
Haustorium develops only imperforate tracheary elements. The evolutionary history vascular cambium in the Convolvulaceae was mainly one of reduction in activity and area. Thus the vesselless haustorium of Cuscutaceae. may be regarded as a reduced farm in with the vessel bearing haustorium of Cassythaceae. It 1s also concluded that the primitive condition of Cuscutaceae is possibly derived from the general condition of Convolvulaceae.

A tabular comparison of the classification of the superordinal groups, orders and families of angiosperms by the APG II (2003), Takhtajan (1997) and Cronquist (1988) is presented. The linear sequence of the orders (45) and families (453) is that of the APG. The APG provided a new model of phylogenetic classification. The framework of Superordinal groups such as Magnoliids, Monocots. Cornmelinids, Eudicots, Rosids and Asterids is fully resolved. But many details for understanding the relationships between many of the basal clades of angiosperms, among major eudicot lineages, and many orders such as Malpighiales and Asterales remain to be resolved. Thus, all the accepted order and family names are listed in alphabetical order. Under the superordinal groups there are listed a number of families (32) without assignment to orders, as their ordinal positions are still unclear to the APG. For the present purpose 2 superordinal groups such as "Basal families" and "Prorosids" and 25 additional ordinal names are optionally adopted with quotation-marks/question mark, italics and parenthesis. Nevertheless seven ordinal positions remain unnamed. Monocots are placed between the Magnoliids and the Eudicots. The APG updated 19 orders with new consignment of families. They have emended (recircumscribed, expanded or restricted) 65 families. There are fifty five (55) square bracketing families below these updated 65 families with which they may be merged or relegated. The APG widely shifted 23 families and deleted about 46 popular families in favour of other broadly circumscribed families. Nineteen (19) obsolete families are reinserted along with a fresh list of 'taxa incertae sedis' of four families and 13 genera. The demise of Avicenniaceae and Flacourtiaceae, the restriction of Euphorbiaceae to the uniovutate subfamilies and the addition and alteration in Scrophulariaceae are noteworthy. The placement of Ebenaceae and Ericaceae in a larger clade Asterids (= sympetale) is a reversion to the earlier concept.Full Text

Introduction: There are several methods for treatment of pilon fracture. We propose to evaluate the clinical and functional outcome in terms of union of the fracture, mobilisation, weight bearing, infections and wound coverage after open reduction and internal fixation in closed fresh displaced pilon fracture with the help of distal tibial locking compression plate. Even though we have conducted this study to compare our results with the various national and International studies.
Method: We have conducted a prospective study for 40 cases of Fresh displaced tibial pilon fractures in patients aged between 18yrs - 65yrs attending the OPD and Emergency department of Orthopaedics, Gauhati Medical College & Hospital, Guwahati who met the inclusion criteria outlined below. Patients were treated by open reduction and internal fixation of the fractures with Distal Tibial lock plate with or without Fibula plating.
Results: Patient were followed up for two years evaluated by AOFAS score and compared with standard study. From our study we have obtained 21(52.5%) of patients have Excellent result, 10(25%) of patients have Good, 7(17.5%) patients have Fair and 2(5%) have poor result.
Conclusion: Restoration of length, articular reduction, articular congruity, axial and rotational alignment with better soft tissue handling are key to excellent functional results following fractures of tibial pilon. Final outcome depends upon chondral damage, residual articular displacement, soft tissue scarring and early mobilization.The functional result is directly proportionate to the anatomical reduction and fixation during operation and inversely proportionate to the fracture comminution.
