PMDD is a psychiatric diagnosis of PMS. The cause of PMS is unknown. Hence studies need to be conducted to know the various lifestyle and dietary habits that increases the risk of PMS. The aim was to study the dietary pattern of adolescent girls aged 17-19 years of Girls college of Hyderabad during the PMS period. The objectives were to study the prevalence, association between lifestyle habits, dietary pattern and stress with PMS in these adolescent girls. Adolescent girls of Girls College, answered a self- constructed, pre tested, standardized questionnaire for the prevalence study. Information on lifestyle and dietary habits, dietary preferences and symptoms observed in PMS period, and the observed stress level was collected. Chi – square test and non- parametric test was done to interpret the data. Among the 300 respondents, 19.3% had PMDD, 46.3% had moderate to severe PMS and 34.3% had mild/no PMS. There was an association between PMS and consuming high calorie foods, herbal teas during PMS period (p is less than 0.05) and also with stress (pis less than0.05) Reducing high calorie foods help to reduce PMS symptoms. Adequate sleep, less screen time and avoiding skipping of meals, consuming less fast food would reduce the prevalence. Having higher level of stress increases the risk of developing PMS or even PMDD.","PeriodicalId":14906,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advanced Scientific Research","volume":"59 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73719223","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Various modes of treatments such as radiotherapy, chemotherapy, surgical methods, etc. are commonly available. However, these approaches are not very cost-effective and are accompanied by side effects. An emerging approach of targeted drug delivery or smart drug delivery with the assistance of nanoparticles (NPs) and also in combination with immunological therapies has proven to show great potential in cancer treatment with an additional advantage of having the least side effects. Stimulus-sensitive smart nanomaterials have been designed to specifically target the cancer cells, causing no damage to the healthy cells. This is attained using Poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA), PEGylated NPs, αvβ3-integrin-specific lipid NPs, NP-based radiosensitizers (NBRs), and NP drones. Moreover, not only the specific targeting but the advances allow the detection of these drug-loaded NPs with the help of plasmonic Biosensor and fluorescence nanoprobes that emits fluorescence as it comes in contact with the target. This article describes the application of NPs in targeting the tumor cells as well as the recent researches going on to facilitate easier & cheaper modes of treatment using nanotechnology.","PeriodicalId":14906,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advanced Scientific Research","volume":"46 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81077038","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There was a report of two unfortunate death cases from Cheural village due to scrub typhus at Lawngtlai district hospital. While, multiple cases, having symptoms like scrub typhus illness were also reported by health officials of the residents of Cheural village, Lawngtlai District, Mizoram. Among the 242 person tested, 80 (33.05%) person were found reactive with Weil felix PROGEN OXK at 1:160 titre value. Maximum numbers of cases were observed among the working age group 20-60 years. Among the different occupational groups, farmers were the most affected as more than 90% of the villagers were involved in forest farming. The five captured rodents’ sera were also tested with Weil felix. All of the captured rodent sera were reactive with one or more antigen. Mites (chigger) were also collected from the rodent samples and the chigger index was found to be 19.2. This study indicated that scrub typhus and other rickettsial diseases were responsible for the outbreak. The extremely high chigger index with reactivity rate reactivity rate of Weil felix with sera of captured rodents strongly indicated the household transmission of scrub typhus and other rickettsial diseases in the outbreak village.","PeriodicalId":14906,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advanced Scientific Research","volume":"97 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82815998","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The inclusion complex was prepared by Physical and Kneading method in various molar ratios of 1:1, 1:2 and 2:1 of the drug and β-cyclodextrin, respectively. IR spectra of drug, polymer and a physical mixture of drug and polymer were obtained using FT-IR. The inclusion complex was characterized and evaluated by determination of aqueous solubility, determination of pH stability, estimation of griseofulvin in complexes and stability study. The aqueous solubility of the GCD inclusion complexes was determined using the Higuchi-Connor method. The results indicated that the use of kneading method for preparation of complexes was more effective than the physical mixture method. The inclusion complexes were on the other hand was able to prevent the degradation of griseofulvin at all the pH. The degradation of griseofulvin from the inclusion complexes was found to be prevented and around 20-35% drug degraded in the acidic buffer while 40-50% drug degraded in the neutral and alkaline buffers. It was very much evident from the stability data that the inclusion complexes were helpful in improving the solution stability of griseofulvin. Complex F5 was used as the complex of choice for stability analysis as it exhibited the highest aqueous solubility amongst all the inclusion complexes that were prepared. The results reveal that the kneading method was helpful in incorporating higher amount of griseofulvin in the complex, the inclusion complex of griseofulvin (F5) was subjected to short term accelerated stability testing by storing the complexes at room temperature and at 45ºC. The samples were analyzed at an interval of one week, three weeks and six weeks for their physical appearance and drug content values.
