Abstract

The present study was carried out to compare the lung function tests in insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) patients with chronic hyperglycaemia on insulin therapy for control of diabetes with healthy controls. Subjects belonging to the age group 25-55 years, males were selected for the study. 80 male subjects, who had known diabetes, attending the diabetic clinic at IGMC, Nagpur were selected. All had chronic hyperglycaemia in spite of being on insulin therapy. These subjects constituted our study group. For comparison 74 healthy male subjects were selected from the general population belonging to the same age and socio-economic status. This constituted the control group. As lung function tests are known to decline with advancing age and taking into consideration that this might be one of the confounding factors for decrease in the value of lung function parameters, we further divided the study group and control group into three subgroups: subgroup i: 25-35 years, subgroup ii: 36- 45 years, subgroup iii: 46-55 years. Lung function tests were studied on Medspirer, computerised spirometer. The study revealed that the forced vital capacity and forced vital capacity at the end of 1st second was reduced in IDDM subjects with chronic hyperglycaemia as compared to control group. Other lung function parameters FEF 25-75%, FEF 0.2-1.2 L, PEFR, MVV did not show any significant alteration in its value in IDDM subjects when compared to the control group. Though many studies have been carried out worldwide to study the lung function tests in diabetic population, in our study we have selected only those patients of diabetes mellitus with chronic hyperglycaemia in spite of being on insulin therapy and studied their lung function tests.

Abstract

Studies on cereal seed inoculation with Azotobacter chroococcum (Beijerinck) isolates conclusively showed that selection of suitable isolates of A. chroococcum is essential to derive maximum benefits from seed bacterization. Comparatively isolates A₅ M₄ and M₈ proved to be more effective than others in improving the seed germination and suppressing seed - borne fungi of cereal crops. Combined application of pesticides with Azotobacter, inoculation increased the grain yield of sorghum with a saving of 40 kg N ha^-1

Abstract

Apart from Software Development, infrastructure works etc. of companies, dealing with the various types of bugs during the whole software development process is a very tedious task. A debugger working manually would be just a waste of time while we look at the speed of development now-a days. Out of the total cost companies spend for their development, costing for this bug removal process has a considerable contribution. Thus for the companies to reduce this manual effort on bug removing process in recent year various bug triage systems are in use. Bug triage process deals with examining the extent to which a particular bug would harm a system, and accordingly produce reports for the same. Text classification is an important domain for bug triage process to be successful. In recent years various steps are being taken to address problems like data reduction in text classification for bug triage.
