The prevalence of kidney stone disease in India is around 12%. Fluid intake is one of the important modifiable risk factors in kidney stone disease which can be considered for preventive measures. Nevertheless, various kinds of fluids cannot have the same effect on stone formation. North Karnataka region is more prone to stone formation due to a lack of fluid intake in several parts. We aim to assess the intake of various fluids and beverages along with water in urolithiasis patients attending the urology clinic at the tertiary care centre. A total of 240 kidney stone patients attending a urology clinic at a tertiary care centre were enrolled for the study between the period of 2020 to 2021. Structured and validated questionnaires comprising detailed information about brief medical history, lifestyle habits and fluid intake habits were provided to the subjects. Kidney stones were collected from all 240 patients to analyse the chemical composition and spectral studies. Out of 240 patients, 152 were male patients and 88 were females. The overall male-to-female ratio was 1.72: 1. The mean Body Mass Index (BMI) of all the patients was 25.83. The highest numbers of cases (43.3%) were seen in the age group above 50. Around 65.8% of cases used to consume less than an adequate amount of water. In stone analysis, 58.3% were calcium oxalates and 16.6% were uric acid stones which was the second-highest among cases. Fluids like milk, tea, and fruit juices are shown to reduce the risk of stone formation to some extent whereas less water intake was a major risk factor. Alcohol and aerated beverages are still having controversial results in stone formation. So, more studies have to be conducted in different geographic regions which may help to prevent the reoccurrence and may reduce the burden of urolithiasis.","PeriodicalId":14906,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advanced Scientific Research","volume":"70 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73502229","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}

One among them is snails. Snails have a long history of being used for treating diseases in traditional medicinal systems around the world including India and China. Pila globosa is one of the largest land snails, mainly used as food. Here in this study, the gas chromatography and mass spectrometry discovered the presence of thirteen bio active constituents with various medicinal applications. The constituent Stigmasta-4, 22-dien-3-beta-ol had the highest retention time and exhibited a efficient binding with the human protein calcitonin receptor ectodomain. The calcitonin receptor types is expressed widely in various tissues and cells but most importantly in the osteoclates and hence a very important receptor in the treatment for bone disorders. The binding of the Pila globosa snail constituent with the human calcitonin receptor proved that a novel drug can be developed from the snail for the treatment of bone disorders such as osteoporosis, hypercalcemia of malignancy and paget’s disease. In addition to that, the snail extract exhibited no cytotoxicity and an efficient antioxidant property against DPPH and H2O2 free radicals. The FTIR analysis revealed the snail contained biologically significant functional groups with properties suitable for a drug and prevalent in most of the pharmaceutical drugs. Thus, these results imply the safety and efficacy of the snail Pila globosa for a novel drug development.","PeriodicalId":14906,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advanced Scientific Research","volume":"251 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78373447","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}

Different multilayer systems were prepared by varying the parameters such as nature of the polymeric support, pH and molecular weight of polyelectrolyte. Build up of multilayers on polymeric support was monitored by measuring area under the sulfonate peak at 1033 cm-1 in the FTIR spectrum. No appreciable rejection of BSA was observed when CHI/PSS multilayers were fabricated on polycarbonate and nylon supports even after 15 bilayer coating. When multilayers were fabricated on polyether sulfone membranes, more than 90% rejection of BSA was observed with 5 bilayer coated membrane.

If untreated, it may eventually lead to death. Various surveys conducted reports that everyone in a developing world is stressed in some or other the way. Statistics suggest that female experience more stress than male; it might be moderate or persistent, depending on the stressor. In mild cases it can be addressed by listening to music, reading books, and so on, but it cannot be remedied in cases of chronic stress. Chronic stress has been linked to the development of a wide range of significant diseases, including behavioural disorders (depression, anxiety), hypertension, heart disease, diabetes, and gastrointestinal disorders.

This viral infection is not indigenous to one area in particular but occurs worldwide. The symptoms mainly include fever, sore throat, feeling sick, painful, blister-like lesions on the tongue, gums and inside of the cheeks, a rash on the palms, soles and sometimes the buttocks. Molecular testing is done based on the reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Cases of HFMD are on the rise and clinicians need to know how to make the diagnosis.

Rubia cordifolia is one such plant, so an improved, efficient, reproducible and reliable in vitro clonal propagation protocol is to be adopted for the conservation of germplasm. MS medium fortified with phytohormons viz., BA, Kin, 2-iP, TDZ, mT, IAA, IBA and NAA singly or in combinations were used for the study. After one month of inoculation, 2.5 μM of BA and TDZ (9.37) endorsed the instigation of multiple shoots through axillary bud proliferation in a short span of time. In vitro produced microshoots were subjected to ex vitro rooting by treating 2.5 mM IBA for 5 min and planting in plastic pots containing potting mixture, to produce maximum rooting (79.17%) response. It was found to be an efficient and effective mode of rooting, since it combines both hardening and rooting. Under green house condition, all the rooted plantlets showed more than 90% survival.
