Reproductive and child health (RCH) approach means a holistic and integrated approach of contraception issues, maternal health issues. RCH has been defined as "people have the ability to reduce and regulate their fertility, women are able to go through pregnancies and child delivery safely, the outcome of pregnancies is successful in terms of survival and wellbeing and couples are able to have sexual relationship free of fear of pregnancies and of contacting diseases (Basic guide to RCH programme, 2007). Reproductive health is defined by World Health Organization (WHO) as a state of physical, mental and social well-being in all matters relating to the reproductive system and is not merely the absence of disease or disorders associated with the reproductive process. The specific objectives of the RCH are reduction of maternal, peri-natal, infant and childhood mortality and morbidity:According to NFHS-3 (2005-06) institutional deliveries 17.7%, home deliveries 80%, Antenatal care 70.6% and 55% of Tribal women use contraception methods in tribal areas of the country.

The use of traditional medicine is expanding to newer horizons and plants still remain as the novel source of structurally important compounds that lead to the development of innovative drugs. It is believed that about 80% of world‟s population use plants as their primary source of medicinal agents. In this juncture, the present study was undertaken to analyze the antioxidant, anti-inflammatory potentiality and genotoxicity of the medicinal herb Quassia indica. An attempt has also been made in the present study for supplementing evidence from in-vitro studies with information on phytochemical profiling, and genotoxic nature to establish the safe range of extract consumption............

The plant based traditional knowledge has become a recognized toll in search for new sources of drugs, wound healing properties and mentralceuticals.Central India is one of those regions in India where the tribal population and forest dwellers from a considerable part of the population. The common tribal communities of area are Kanwar (11.84%) Halba(4.76%),Bhatra(2.52%),Baiga(0.93%),Urao(1.89%),Bijhwar(1.72%),Bhariya(1.58%) and Agariya(0.74%). They are partially or completely dependent on forest product for their survival.Kanwar tribal societies, related to sterility, conception, abortion etc. and the use of abort-facients. Very little work has been done on the ethno-gynecological use of plants in the treatment and health care program of women as evidenced by the literature and references.Medicinal plants are plants containing inherent active ingredients used to cure disease or relieve pain.The main tribes of these districts are Kanwar, Halba, Bhatra,Baiga,Urao, respectively................

Odishahas been one of the Eastern State of India.Drugs Regulation in Indiais governed by the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940 and it has been the focus of several recent policy reforms efforts in India, starting withMashelakar Committee Report in 2013 to most recent report of Ranjit Roy choudhary report in 2013.nevertheless the regulatory structure continues to be plagued with several structural challenges, including issues related to regulatory harmonisation between centre ant the states, transparency, which have been undermined the general effectiveness of the regulatory system.This study, evaluates the administrative structure and functions of drug regulatory authorities at state level...............

Nephroliths are a common trouble worldwide with substantial morbidities and economic costs. This review describes focusing on update about the Pathogenesis formation of renal stone epidemiology. The most common adventure factors or aesculapian conditions associated with formation of renal stone, the current methods available for metabolic probe, dietary recommendations and medical treatment. Over the past 10 years, major progress has been made in the pathogenesis of renal stone. The incidence of nephrolithiasis (kidney stones) is rising worldwide, particularly in adult female and with rising age. Preventing recurrence is predominately specific to the character of stone (e.g., calcium oxalate, calcium phosphate, cystine, and struvite and uric acid stones); however, even when the stone cannot be retrieved, Managing diet, medication use, and food consumption can help prevent the organisation of kidney stones.

Reactive oxygen species and free radicals are implicated in numerous disorders, diseases as well as in the aging process. Natural antioxidants in the form of raw extracts or chemical constituents are sort after in order to combat destructive processes due to oxidative stress. The antioxidant and antibacterial activity of acetone, ethyl acetate and methanol extracts of skin, leaves and seed of the Sri Lankan variety of Cucurbita maxima was investigated. The ethyl acetate extracts of leaves gave the highest rate of change of reducing power with concentration (0.1625 ml/mg) in Fe3+ reducing power assay and the highest rate of change of radical scavenging activity with concentration (7.016 ml/mg) during DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) radical scavenging assay............

Objective: To find out the prevalence rate of Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) at Kattupakkam among 5 – 10 years of agegroup. Method: door to door survey was conducted at kattupakkam. Eight hundred and ninety eight children(N=898) participated in the study. The DevelopmentalCoordination Disorder Questionnaire (DCDQ) was used to identity DCD children at Kattupakkam. Results: Ftwenty nine children were identified as DCD and it revealed that the prevalence rate was 3.22%. There was no statistically significant difference in prevalence rate among genders. Conclusion: The study concluded that there is prevailing of Developmental Coordination Disorder amongthe age group of 5-10 years at Kattankulathur. The prevalence DCD suggests a need for awareness and education program for parents and teachers for early identification and intervention.

Vaccination is considered as one of the effective biosecurity programs to prevent bird flu virus. Avian influenza virus mutations are able to induce HA (Hemaglutinin) and NA (Neuraminidase) variants. This can cause a pandemic that causes new viruses to make available vaccines not be effective. Recombinant protein M2e (2-16-k-25) has been successfully designed and expressed on E.coli ER2556 as a fusion protein (M2e (216) -K-P25 intein CBD) used as a vaccine candidate base on epitope M2e has potential as a universal influenza vaccine. The optimum determination of expressed fusion proteins is necessary for efficient variables that are important in the design of expression systems. This study aims to determine the optimum fusion protein expression variables...........
