Screening of marine microorganisms as probiotics for production of bacteriocin

The aim of present study was to select potential probiotic from marine environment. A total of 203 strains isolated from six different coastal area of India were screened for bacteriocin production. Out of 203 strains there are 107 bacteria, 37 Yeastand 59actinomycetes. The 10 isolates from bacteria, 2 from yeast and 5 from actinomyceteshas shown antibacterial activity against human pathogens brought from MTCC culture collection. The isolates has shown maximum antibacterial activity against Klebsiella sp., Escherichia coli and  Pseudomonasaeruginosa.

Proctor of meconium stained amniotic fluid complications on perinatal outcome

Objective: To investigate the correlation of the presence of meconium in amniotic fluid with perinatal outcome.
Methods: Out of 1983 deliveries, 99 women were found to have meconium on spontaneous or artificial rupture membrane. For all the patients the following items have been checked: 5 minutes APGAR score and neonatal complications like the need for admission in NICU, need to CPR procedure and neonatal death and root of the delivery.

Subcortical vascular damages for post radiation brain radiotherapy

In the last decades radiotherapy induced brain injury has become an emerging issue for physicians. Brain RT-induced injury has been classified, according to its time of onset, into acute, early delayed, and late forms.  The latter is not reversible. Etiopathogenesys of brain damage after RT has been at length discussed, vascular injury and white matter pathologic changes have been described.

Nut midline carcinoma: A case report

NUT midline carcinoma (NMC) is a rare, highly lethal malignant epithelial tumor caused by rearrangements in the nuclear protein testis (NUT) gene in chromosome 15, and few studies have described the condition. This report describes NMC in an 8-year-old girl presenting an asymptomatic lesion on the tongue dorsum. Cervical lymph nodes were significantly increased, and the patient presented dysphagia, dyspnea, severe fatigue, and marked weight loss.

Evaluation of association between peyronie disease and the presence of risk factors for atherosclerosis

Introduction: Peyronie's disease (PD) is a tissue disorder acquired in the tunica albuginea (TA) of the penis and its pathophysiology is not completely understood. The disease is characterized by the development of a fibrous plaque which affects the inner layer of the corpus cavernosumTA. The estimated prevalence of PD is 3 to 9% and its incidence has increased in the last years. Objective: To determine if atherosclerosis is associated with PD.

Gynecomastia in childhood and adolescence: At a glance

Gynecomastia, defined as a benign proliferative of the male’s breast glandular tissue, is a common finding in boys during childhood and adolescence, and usually caused by increased estrogen activity, decreased testosterone activity, or the use of numerous medications.  Although most cases are benign and self-limiting, it may represent signs of an underlying systemic diseases, drug induced or even male breast cancer.  Understanding its pathogenesis is crucial to distinguish normal developmental variant from pathological causes.  A stepwise approach that includes clinical assessment, imaging

The effects of indigenized teaching and microsoft excel worksheet material on students achievement levels in statistics and their resulting attitudes

On this modern era, teachers must consider instructional materials that would be used in teaching. One possible factor that hinders performance improvement is the type of material utilized by the learners. This study aims to observe the effects of the Indigenized teaching and Microsoft – Excel Worksheet as teaching material in Statistics on the performance of the students’. The study carried out using pretest-post-test control group; single blind experimental research design. One College of Teacher Education class divided into two groups was used in this study.

Photocatalytic degradation of erythrosin b under visible light using n-doped zno

The present study deals with the study of photocatalytic degradation of Erythrosin B under visible light in the presence of N-doped ZnO as a photocatalyst. N-doped ZnO was prepared by the solvent free method. The photocatalytic activity of ZnO and N-doped ZnO was compared by investigating the photodegradation of Erythrosin B dye under visible light. The effect of different parameters like pH, concentration of the Dye, amount of N-doped ZnO and light intensity on the rate of degradation was also studied.

State-based approach of sugar boiling process automation in batch vacuum pan

In this paper, state base approach for implementation and design of A grade batch vacuum pan is proposed. Nexgenie NG16-ADL Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) is used to control the first batch vacuum pan. This design helps to improve operators’ interaction and with less intervention with ease. This system designed for auto mode and manual mode in order to have better control over the system. This enhances the good grain size development for the centrifugal process. The operator on the pan floor can readily take readings and control the process environment using this system in real time.

New economical construction material panels for reduction of noise level in small industries

Today there is large growth in industrialization; therefore industrial noise has become a big environmental Problem. The noise that is generated by machines in industries is termed as industrial noise. This noise interferes with communication between supervisors and staff. Continuous exposure to noise can cause fatigue, which often results in accidents and reduces the pace and quality of work. Noise affects negatively on the day today life of surrounding people, who have faced with many problems mentally and physically.
