Gole, Ravinder Kharolia, Abhishek Singh","doi":"10.5530/jppcm.2022.1.4","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5530/jppcm.2022.1.4","url":null,"abstract":"Introduction: Due to similar red cell morphology, patients of beta Thalassemia Trait (β-TT) are often misdiagnosed as Iron Deficiency Anaemia (IDA) and given unnecessary iron medication. Facilities for diagnosing them are usually not available in underserved areas where health system and laboratory facilities are not strengthened. Aim: To differentiate β-TT from IDA by red cell indices among pregnant women in Southern Haryana, India. Materials and Methods: This hospital-based, cross-sectional study was conducted in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at Shaheed Hasan Khan Mewati Government Medical College, Haryana, India, from May 2020 to October 2020. Total 148 antenatal women were screened for presence of anaemia by their haemoglobin level at the time of admission. Types of anaemia were documented. After staining, it was examined for red cell morphology and various red cell indices were also noted. Data collected was entered in Microsoft excel 7, then data was analysed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 20.0 software package. Results: Of total 148 pregnant women, 104 were found to be anaemic thus the overall prevalence of anaemia was found to be 70.27% (104/148). Most of pregnant women were in the age group of 18-24 years (54.8%). Microcytic hypochromic picture (38.4%), followed by normocytic hypochromic to microcytic hypochromic (20.1%) was predominant on Peripheral Blood Film (PBF) examination followed by dimorphic anaemia. Red Blood Cell (RBC) count was found to be normal in 85.5% cases followed by decreased count in 14.4% cases. None of the case had increased RBC count. Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV) was normal in 58.6% of cases followed by decreased below 80 fL in 28.8% of cases. Conclusion: Higher prevalence of anaemia in pregnant women indicates that anaemia still continues to be a major health problem in India. In resource constrained settings, where definitive diagnostic facilities do not exist, red cell indices may be used to differentiate β-TT from IDA among pregnant women.","PeriodicalId":16825,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pharmacy Practice and Community Medicine","volume":"13 38 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79821596","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}

Factor VII is a protein that migrates during electrophoresis between alpha and beta globulins. It is stable during storage, is not utilized in the process of blood coagulation, and therefore is found in both plasma and serum. Synthesized in the liver. The half-life in vivo is 4-6 hours. The disease is associated with a pathological gene located on the autosome and responsible for insufficient synthesis of proconvertin. Inheritance of proconvertin deficiency is recessive and not related to gender. Hemorrhagic diathesis caused by the presence of pathological factor VII, with structural changes in its molecule, is described. With hypoproconvertinemia of any etiology, the second phase of blood coagulation, the formation of thrombin, is disrupted, since factor VII takes part in the external mechanism of blood coagulation, contributing (together with tissue thromboplastin, factor V and calcium ions) to the activation of factor X, which converts prothrombin into thrombin.","PeriodicalId":16825,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pharmacy Practice and Community Medicine","volume":"65 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85397450","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}

They are source of wide array of secondary metabolites or bioactive compounds/phytochemicals (phenols, alkaloids, flavonoids, terpenoids, tannins, steroids and saponins) which are capable of discharging numerous biological functions (antimicrobial, antioxidant, antiviral, antifungal, anti-fibrotic, immune-modulatory, cytotoxic, antipyretic, antitumor, antihelminthic, antiprotozoal, antibacterial and so on). The use of gas chromatography and mass spectrometry analysis in identifying the bioactive compounds in ethanolic extract of Strychnos innocua root is a fundamental technique in quantifying the unknown samples, trace elements and contaminants leading to the discovery of novel compounds of pharmaceutical and biomedical importance. Result obtained showed that Strychnos innocua root extract contains 39 bioactive compounds with α-Cubebene (20.09 %) having the highest concentration followed by Dibutyl benzene -1,2 – dicarboxylate (10.17 %), β-Elemenone (10.02 %), 4-Methoxy-2-nitroformanilide (7.21 %), 1-Methyl cyclopropane methanol (5.96 %), 1, 3 propanediol, 2-ethyl 2-hydroxymethyl (3.71 %), Azelaic acid (2.87 %), Glycidol stearate (2.85 %), Chloromethyl 2-chlorodecanoate (2.83 %) and γ-terpinene (2.56 %) respectively.
