Veril Palutta Pala Reveals the Social Misfortunes

Social problems are the problems that occur in human life. Witnesses are pointing out the life problems of individual people and the different thoughts of the human mind. In today's times, there are various types of superstitions found in a few people. That is, this novel highlights the superstition that if a woman is married and her husband dies, then the women in her house should not go ahead of them when they go outside for work or for a good cause. A Government recruiting officer should behave honestly. For example, the road safety officer should follow the road rules and treat everyone equally. But in this novel, it is pointed out that the officer pays respect to the higher people and takes bribes from the common people. The witnesses have said that there are only two categories in this world namely male and female. However, inequality can still be seen in various places. This novel highlights that this brutality is not an exception in government office. The idea that some of the friends are true and some of them use friendship for necessity is featured in this novel. It is a Tamil tradition to welcome enemies with pleasure to our home. The novel is narrated by Saravanan's mother Mutthammal. This article is intended to highlight the problems found in this novel

Antiplaque and Antigingivitis effect of a Dentifrice containing Bioactive Glass particulate-A Randomized Clinical Trial

Background: Maintenance of gingival health is critical in preventing gingivitis and its progression into periodontal disease. Bioactive glass has recently been formulated into a dentifrice and has demonstrated strong antimicrobial property. Objectives: The objective of this clinical trial was to evaluate the antigingivitis and antiplaque effect of a dentifrice containing bioactive glass compared with a placebo control dentifrice in a four weeks clinical study. Methodology:  The Study design was a randomized triple blind parallel clinical trial. Sixty volunteers took part in the study and were matched for age and gender. Plaque index (Turesky et al modified Quigley Hein index, 1970) and Gingival bleeding index (Ainamo and Bay, 1975) was recorded at baseline for all selected subjects. Following the baseline assessments, all subjects received a supragingival prophylaxis and polishing to remove plaque, calculus and extrinsic stain. After prophylaxis the plaque levels were brought to uniform levels, ideally close to zero, which was assessed by plaque index. After which the subjects were instructed on the proper brushing technique with their assigned dentifrice and toothbrush. Gingiva and plaque was evaluated at the end of 4 weeks using same indices. Results: A total of 60 subjects completed the study. Total number of participant (n) = 60 males (n) =50 females (n) =10. The results showed that the PLI (baseline 1.12, 4 weeks 0.65) and GBI (baseline 0.16, 4 weeks 0.08) were significantly reduced, respectively, over the 4 weeks period in the test group (p<0.001 for each measure). There was a 50% reduction in gingival bleeding and a 40%reduction in plaque growth. There was no difference of the PLI (baseline 1.34, 4 weeks 1.30) and GBI (baseline 0.13, 4 week 0.15) over the 4 week period in the control group. Conclusion: The study demonstrated that the dentifrice containing Bioactive glass significantly improves gingival health as measured by a reduction in gingival bleeding and reduction in supragingival plaque compared with Placebo dentifrice over the 4 weeks study period.   KEYWORDS:  Anti-gingivitis, Anti-plaque, Bioactive glass, Dentifrice

Prevalence of Campylobacter spp. in diarrhoea samples from patients in New South Wales, Australia

Campylobacteriosis is a leading cause of bacterial foodborne disease in many industrialized countries including Australia. New South Wales (NSW) is the most populous state in Australia yet the lack of any Campylobacter species surveillance programs has led to a knowledge gap in the importance of these pathogens as causes of diarrhoea. The data collected in this study demonstrated a need for such programs. In this study, 400 human clinical fecal samples were collected from two NSW locations, Western Sydney and Wagga Wagga, and tested for the presence of Campylobacter spp. Patients were clustered by location, age and gender to assess Campylobacter spp. prevalence within these groups between the two regions. The frequency of Campylobacter spp. was higher in males compared to females in the age groups 0–4 and 5–14 years; 6.4% and 1.0%, and 8.2% and none, respectively (P < 0.05). A second peak was noted in elderly adults compared with those in younger age groups. Based on the findings of the quantitative PCR analysis it was estimated that the age-adjusted prevalence of Campylobacter spp. associated diarrhoea was 159 cases per 100,000 persons.

Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome in preeclampsia

Background: Posterior reversible encephalopathy is a clinico-radiological syndrome marked by headache, altered mental status, seizures, visual disturbances, and extensive white-matter changes, also known as hyper perfusion encephalopathy, brain capillary leak syndrome, and hypertensive encephalopathy. This syndrome was a possible consequence of several medical conditions but especially in pregnancy it is associated with pre-eclampsia and eclampsia. Objective of this study was to know the incidence and analyze the clinical features, biochemical, and radiological abnormalities in posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) as a complication of preeclampsia.Methods: This was a one-year cross-sectional analytical study conducted at NRI general hospital, Chinakakani, Guntur of patients with the diagnosis of PRES. Data was obtained from medical records and analyzed them in terms of mean for continuous variables and percentages for categorical data.Results: Total no of patients diagnosed as PRES were 16 out of 127 patients of preeclampsia. Among them, 14 presented with eclampsia, and two presented with severe preeclampsia and imminent symptoms of eclampsia. Headache was the most common symptom (100%). PRES occurred at a peak SBP of ≥160 mmHg in 75% cases and peak DBP of ≥110 mmHg in 50% cases. Serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) level was ≥600 in 56.25% and serum uric acid level ≥6 in 50% of patients of PRES. The drug of choice was magnesium sulfate.Conclusions: Neuroimaging abnormality is a definitive component in the diagnosis of PRES. These cerebral abnormalities are vital components in the pathogenesis of eclampsia. Considerable number of patients of preeclampsia might develop PRES even without eclampsia, with mild elevation in BP, serum LDH, and serum uric acid levels

A SURVEY OF PROACTIVE AND REACTIVE PROTOCOLS IN MOBILE AD HOC NETWORKS

Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) is one of wireless communication with a collection of more than one device or nodes or terminals which contain network capability that communicate with each other. A Mobile ad-hoc network is set of different types of movable nodes and consists of mobile platforms which are free to move randomly. MANET can be deployed at low cost in variety of application and it contains different types of routing protocols which are classified under the category of proactive (Table driven Protocols) and reactive protocols (on-demand). Nodes can directly communicate to all other nodes within the broadcast communication. If node could not have direct communication then they can act as intermediate node to communicate with other nodes. This paper focus on the survey of proactive and reactive routing protocols namely DSDVR, CGSR, GSR, WRP and DSR, AODV, TORA respectively

EFFECTS OF PHYSICAL CONDITIONING IN IMPROVING HIGH DENSITY LIPOPROTEIN CHOLESTEROL (HDL-C) LEVEL AMONG TRAINED AND UNTRAINED WOMEN

The intention of this investigation was to assess the effects of physical conditioning in improving High Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (HDL-C) level among trained and untrained women. The study was delimited to twenty trained and twenty untrained women from the inhabitants of Ongole, Andhra Pradesh, India. They were further sub-divided into experimental and control group of 10 subjects in each category. The subjects were of the age group of 22 to 25 years. The duration of the training period was restricted to twelve weeks and the number of sessions per week was confined to six. High density lipoprotein cholesterol level was selected as dependent variable and assessed during pre and posttest by standard test and procedure. Three-way analysis of variance was used to find out the influence of each factor independently. Due to the effect of physical conditioning the high-density lipoprotein cholesterol level of trained and untrained groups subjects were significantly increased. The result of the study also indicates that, significant differences exist among trained and untrained women irrespective of groups and tests, significant differences exist between experimental and control groups irrespective of category and tests, significant differences exist between pre and posttests irrespective of category and groups on high density lipoprotein cholesterol level.  Article visualizations

The Internet of Remote Things (IoRT) has emerged as a transformative paradigm, merging IoT capabilities with remote technologies. IoRT environments, featuring interconnected sensors and robots, face challenges like sensor noise and low-light conditions, compromising video stream quality. This paper proposes a Hybrid Video Denoising and Blending Framework to address IoRT video data shortcomings. Leveraging spatial and temporal domain denoising techniques, the framework effectively removes noise while preserving crucial details. The inclusion of advanced blending algorithms facilitates seamless fusion of data from multiple sources, enhancing decision-making in real-world scenarios. The framework adopts a dynamic weighted averaging approach and an optimal sensor selection mechanism to intelligently choose informative data sources, improving blended output quality. Extensive experiments with a diverse IoRT dataset showcase the framework’s superiority over state-of-the-art techniques, offering significant enhancements in video quality, noise reduction, and data fusion accuracy. Applications like surveillance, autonomous remotes, and industrial automation can benefit from the framework’s ability to provide clearer, more reliable visual information. In conclusion, this research introduces a pioneering approach to mitigate video noise and enhance data fusion in IoRT, showcasing promising results and paving the way for further research in the integration of Remotes and IoT
