A fluorescent probe derived from naphthalimide was successfully synthesized and characterized as an “off-on” type Cu2+-selective fluorescent probe. A prominent fluorescence enhancement at 430 nm was observed in the presence of Cu2+ in ethanol-water solution (5:5, v:v, pH 6.8, 50 mM HEPES). With the optimized experimental conditions, the probe exhibited a dynamic response rangeof 7.0×10-7-9.0×10-6 M for Cu2+, and the detection limit is2.3×10-7 M.

Aim of the study: To assess the knowledge regarding common health problems of improper household waste disposal. Background. The waste is generated as consequences of household activities such as the cleaning, cooking, repairing empty containers, packaging, huge use of plastic carry bags. During the last decade of 19th century as well as during 5 initial years of 20th century millions of people died due to bubonic plague which had poor linkage of improper waste disposal.

Aim of the study: To Identify the common health problems and its remedies among the people residing near to leather drainage Background: The tanning industry is known to be vary polluting especially through effluents high in organic and inorganic dissolved and suspended solids content accompanied by propensities for high oxygen demand an containing potentially toxic metal salt residues. Disagreeable odour emanating from the decomposition of protein solid waste presence of hydrogen sulphied, ammonia and volatile organic compounds are normally associated.

Aim of the study: To Assess the believes and practice regarding postnatal care among schedule tribal mothers Background: During puerperal period, MMR accounts for the greatest proportion of deaths among women of reproductive age in most of the developing countries. India is also one among those countries which have a very high MMR. In India more than 1, 00000 women die each year due to pregnancy related causes.

The study was conducted with the aim of evaluating the effectiveness of Hands on Skill Training Programme regarding PaediatricEmergency Proceedures on on objective structured clinical examination performance among staff nurses . Quasi-experimental study design was used to conduct this study. The study samples were 30 staff nurses working in various Institutions., Hands on Skill Training Programme was conducted to the group..

Chronic suppurative otitis media is one of the common otological conditions in India for which patients seek advice from an otorhinolaryngologist. Chronic suppurative otitis media is recurrent and progressive disease which is characterized with tympanic membrane perforation and suppurative discharge. Pure tone audiometry is the most common test used to evaluate auditory sensitivity.

Pulp Capping represents an important endodontic treatment in dentistry since it preserves the vitality of the tooth in contrary to Root canal Therapy after which the tooth is left brittle. Very few recent pulp capping materials have gained popularity because of the gold standards set by Dycal and MTA which are used since years. One such material which deserves to be highlighted is TheraCal–LC which was introduced by Bisco Inc, Schamburg, IL, USA. Hence, We will compare TheraCal with the two Giants of pulp capping materials on the basis of published literature.

Many term and preterm newborns with clinical signs of sepsis, whose mothers had premature rupture of membranes (PROM), have negative blood cultures, but in molecular biology research the presence of genomic DNA from different congenital bacteria has been observed. Thus, the association of molecular examination with rtPCR with different bacterial primers may help us in a more objective treatment. The samples 101 newborns with PROM were analyzed by rtPCR with primers for bacteria Streptococcus agalactie, Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae.

This review summarizes the studies about association of dentistry with infective endocarditis and emphasizes the need for dental professional to provide antibiotic prophylaxis prior to dental procedures to prevent the dentistry related infective endocarditis and also to avoid the risk associated with the overprescribing of antibiotics. Infective endocarditis is a life threatening condition if untreated and continues to cause significant morbidity and mortality in defiance of modern antimicrobial and surgical treatment.
