Single crystals of pure and Lanthanum oxides (La2O3) doped L-Alanine Alaninium Nitrrate (LAAN) crystals were grown by slow evaporation method. The lattice parameters were analyzed by single crystal X-ray diffraction technique. The slight changes in the lattice parameters were observed for the doped crystals compared to pure LAAN crystal. The presence of functional groups of the pure and dopant LAAN molecules were studied using Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectra. The identification of Lanthanum ion in the doped crystals was done using the energy dispersive X-Ray (EDX) spectrum. The UV-Vis transmission spectra of La2O3 doped LAAN showed excellent transmittance from 255 nm to 800 nm. The optical band gap energy of the grown crystals were also calculated. Improvement in the second harmonic generation (SHG) efficiency was studied by the Kurtz and Perry method. The SHG efficiency was found to be more for La2O3 doped LAAN comber to pure LAAN . The various studies showed the incorporation of the impurity La2O3 into LAAN crystal and the investigations indicated that the impurity played an important role in the changes of the properties of LAAN crystals. Key word: Nonlinear optics, Organic materials, Doping effects, X-ray diffraction, Optical properties

New data from World Health Organization (WHO) reveals the growing problem of food borne illness around the world. Around 351000 deaths occurred in the year 2010 due to food poisoning. With the kind of health risks that are posed to the human race today, it has become vital to stay as hygienic as possible. Hygiene is a habit that needs to be focused on and it need not be restricted to our bodies alone; it needs to be maintained in our intakes and surroundings also. Concept of food hygiene is not new to Ayurveda. The importance of hygienic food and hazardous effects of unhygienic food are deliberately described in the ancient texts. Since ancient times our Aacharyas were aware of these facts, they stressed upon the hygiene. One can find the roots of today's methods of procuring, storing, processing and cooking of foods in the ancient literatures. Presently various sanitation methods, preservatives and methods of food preparations are having the impact on the immunity and are leading to hazardous effects on health therefore the development of the food hygiene practice should be based on traditional methods which are being followed since thousands of years.

In an attempt to determine the characterization of Bio-degradable hybrid polymer composites, the jute fiber and natural rubber particle combination was tested to assess the critical weight percentage combination for tensile strength, flexural strength and ductility. Specially prepared specimens by hand layup technique were subjected to mechanical characterization process including SEM micrograph analysis to determine the optimum combination of the material system. The results so obtained reflected on typical characters of jute and rubber combination leading to estimate their usage criteria for different applications.

Many a times lymphadenopathy is misdiagnosed as tubercular but there is more into it. We report one such case where a wrongly diagnosed lymphadenopathy revealed itself in a different way. Case Description: An 18 year old female presented with bilateral swelling in cervical region(fig 1), dry cough, fever and reduced appetite since one and a half years . FNAC of cervical lymph nodes was done which showed necrotising lymphadenitis. Anti tubercular treatment was thus started but patient defaulted after one month due to intolerance. Though Sputum for mycobacterium was negative but somehow ATT was continued. She also had gingival hyperplasia and rashes on face (fig 2). Routine investigations like complete blood counts, liver and renal function test did not revealed any abnormality.Peripheral Smear showed anisopoikilocytes with microcytic hypochromic picture. Chest X-ray(fig 3) revealed mediastinal widening .SubsequentlyHRCT (fig 4)revealed

The purpose of this research was to prepare and evaluate mucoadhesive microspheres of Metaprolol tartarate an antihypertensive drug for prolonged residence time and sustained drug release. Microspheres were prepared by Ionotropic gelation technique using sodium alginate, HPMC K4M as polymers in varying ratios. The microspheres were evaluated for its percentage yield, drug entrapment efficiency, particle size and shape, in vitro mucoadhesion study and in vitro drug release studies. The mucoadhesive microspheres showed particle size, drug entrapment efficiency and yield in the ranges of 280.14 – 596.16 μm, 55.47 – 88.36 % and 78.16 – 87.06 % respectively. In vitro drug release and mucoadhesion study confirms formulation F13 was the best formulation as it releases 97.96 % at the end of 12 hr. in controlled manner and percentage mucoadhesion of 76.13 % after 10 hr. This confirms the developed Metaprolol tartarate mucoadhesive microspheres are promising drug delivery system for oral sustained administration of Metaprolol tartarate.

Infants with Kawasaki disease younger than 6 months have a high risk for developing coronary artery lesions (CAL). This retrospective study included 231 patients who received initial IVIG therapy at 2g/kg/dose from 1999–2016. Patients were divided into a younger group aged ≦ 6 months (n = 25), and an older group aged > 6 months (n = 206). The prevalence of incomplete type (defined as patients with fewer than five major symptoms) was higher in the younger group than the older group. However, this difference was not statistically significant (16.0% vs. 10.2%, P = 0.491). The start time of initial IVIG therapy was significantly earlier in the younger group than the older group, with median days of illness being 5 (range 4–6) vs. 5 (range 3–16), P = 0.017. The prevalence of CAL was similar in the two groups both before (4.0% vs. 4.4%, P = 1.000) and after 30 days of illness (4.0% vs. 1.5%, P = 0.370). Initial IVIG therapy at 2g/kg/dose before day 6 of the illness may suppress the prevalence of CAL development caused by Kawasaki disease in younger infants to a rate similar to that in older children.

There are no enough studies that focus on the Clinical presentation of hypothyroidism which depends on initial dosage among hypothyroidism .Objective: To recognize Clinical presentation of hypothyroidism which depends on initial dosage among hypothyroidism patient in hail city .Methodology: A Cross- Sectional based study conducted at King Khalid Hospital in Hail city, Saudi Arabia. Data were collected through personal structured interviews after informal consents from the patients. Data was entered and analyzed by Statistical Package for Social Software Program (SPSS) version 14.Result: From 420 questionnaires 400were collected and analyzed. The predominant gender respondents were female 380 (92%)and the mean age was more than 42% they were more than 40 years (168 pt). The top three clinical presentation were (27 % )of patients suffering from Fatigue and tiredness ,( 16 %) of patients are suffering from increased their weight ,14%they suffering from hair loss. (40%) started with 50 micro/gram as initial dosage . Conclusion: Findings showed 40 % started with 50 micro/gram as initial dosage (30.2 % Fatigue and tiredness , overweight 18.1% , hair loss 15.5%) 53% good prognosis and 47% poor prognosis main of them need to increased the initial dosage So we think it is important to help them by a educated the correct way how use the hypothyroids medication and follow the doctors instruction .
