A simple, Précised, Accurate method was developed for the estimation of Tamsulosin by RP-UPLC technique. Chromatographic conditions used are stationary phase Hibra C18 100mm x 1.8 mm, 2.6.,Mobile phase0.01N KH2PO4 (3.2 pH): Acetonitrile in the ratio of 60:40 and flow rate was maintained at 0.3ml/min, detection wave length was 224nm, column temperature was set to 30oC. System suitability parameters were studied by injecting the standard six times and results were well under the acceptance criteria. Linearity study was carried out between25% to150 % levels, R2 value was found to be as 0.999. Precision was found to be 0.6 for repeatability and 0.4 for intermediate precision.LOD and LOQ are 0.039μg/ml and 0.120μg/ml respectively. By using above method assay of marketed formulation was carried out 100.23% was present. Degradation studies of Tamsulosin were done, in all conditions purity threshold was more than purity angle and within the acceptable range..

Culturally protected forest patches or sacred groves have been the integral part of many traditional societies. Sacred groves of Kabirdham like in other places, are forests patches conserved by the local community intertwined with their socio-cultural and religious practices. These groves harbour biodiversity and play a significant role in the conservation of biodiversity. The Bhoramdev Wildlife Sanctuary is located at a distance of 16 kms from Kawardha town,it is named after the famous 11th century Bhoramdeo Temple. Its total area is 351.24 sq. kms.There are 14 sacred groves inside the WL sanctuary which are very rich repository for ethno medicinal plants require detailed investigation............

Inflammation is a part of the complex biological response of vascular tissues to harmful stimuli, such as pathogens, damaged cells or irritants. It is characterized by redness, swollen joints, joint pain, its stiffness and loss of joint function. Inflammation is currently treated by NSAIDs. Herbal plants play a vital role in drug discovery. Herbal plants are very useful for human to cure various ailments. In the present article, an attempt has been made to investigate the anti-inflammatory activity of some herbal plants.

It is a highly contagious disease which exacerbates on time as it was mis-diagnoised with typical encephalitis which is caused by Japanese encephalitis virus, Herpes simplex virus, leptospire bacteria primarily targets CNS. In Kerala, at Kozhikode's Baby Memorial hospital a patient was suspected with encephalitis and is samples were examined by the concerned doctors at Manipal center of Virus............

Stroke is a major cause of mortality and morbidity world wide . It is the 2nd commonest cause of death and one of the most important cause of disability (strong 2007). Acute haemorrhagic stroke is the largest killer apart from Ischaemic stroke.Cases of haemorrhagic stroke frequently presents as a sudden loss of consciousness, vomiting , convulsion and Hemiplegia. Hypertension has been observed as one of the commonest association of sroke. But in many cases BP may be low or normal Vascular malformation, aneurysms and various types of angiopathies may be associated with stroke mainly sub- arachnoid haemorrhage . Early stroke survivors has been followed and investigation showed raised serum creatinine concentration in them (Friedman et al).When followed for a period of 18 months it was observed that mortality was higher in patients who had higher serum creatinine concentration.

The lemon peel is known for its wider aspect in medico-pharmacology. The production of citrus juice leads to a large quantity of peel and seeds waste which possess high contents of bioactive components. These contents can be developed into useful and potential products after their value addition and may be useful as health enhancing drugs. The present study aims to estimate quantitatively the total phenolic and flavonoid content in different peel extracts of yellow and green Citrus limon. The extracts were investigated for the presence of phytochemicals and then analyzed for TPC and TFC using gallic acid and rutin as reference standard. The highest TFC was reported in ethyl acetate peel extracts............

Background: Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is the most prevalent endocrine disorder affecting females. Various factors such as heterogeneous disorder characterized by ovulatory dysfunction, hyperandrogenism, genetic factors and polycystic ovarian morphology. The potential complications of PCOS include obesity exacerbates and co morbidities of PCOS such as hypertension, diabetes, hypercholesterolemia, and heart disease. Objective: To estimate the prevalence of PCOS with anthropometric measures and hormonal levels were analysed statistically. To study the prescribing pattern and appropriateness of medications utilised, then diet and co-morbid conditions were screened.............

The hyphenated technique is developed from the coupling of a separation technique an on-line spectroscopic detection technology. Mainly chromatographic techniques are combined with spectroscopic techniques. Then the separated components of the mixture from chromatographic technique will enter into the spectroscopic technique through an interphase .The remarkable improvements in hyphenated analytical methods over the last two decades have significantly broadened their applications in the analysis of biomaterials, especially natural products.LC-NMR is the hyphenated technique in which HPLC is combined with the NMR. This technique is widely used for the analysis of complex mixtures which contain unknown impurities, natural products and synthetic polymers. In LC-NMR LC does the separation and NMR does the identification of separated components.

Aims and objectives : To know the incidence of Zeequn Nafas (Bronchial Asthma) in the patients of different temperaments at Ajmal khan Tibbiya College and Hospital, Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh. Methodology : The study was conducted on the outdoor patients who attended the Moalajat and modern medicine OPD of Ajmal Khan Tibbiya College, Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh, with the shortness of breath due to Bronchial Asthma during 2013-2015. Sixty (60) individuals of both the sexes were included in the study between the ages of 15 to 60 years. The eligible individuals were selected randomly on the basis of clinical symptoms, examinations and who were taking bronchodilator drugs. Then their temperaments were assessed by the pre-structured proforma based on Ajnas-e-Ashra. Lastly on the basis of total score of Ajnas-e-Ashra (10 determinants), a particular Mizaj was assigned to the patient............
