    Abstract The present research investigated the effect of nanobubbles in Ringer’s solution on calcified plaque within ex vivo coronary and peripheral artery tissue. The goal of the work was to determine whether nanobubbles generated using an alternating magnetic field (AMF) system can reproducibly reduce the size of plaque obstructions in ex vivo pericardial tissue specimens compared to that in an untreated control. Nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA) measurements were used to first confirm that AMF can produce nanobubbles in Ringer’s solution as well as it does in water. Experiments were performed in which ex vivo human coronary artery and peripheral artery tissues containing plaque were exposed to Ringer’s solution with and without the presence of AMF generated nanobubbles. Measurements on intravascular optical coherence tomography (IVOCT) images consistently indicated that plaque volume is significantly reduced in the presence of nanobubbles. A theory of induced dissolution by nanobubble/nanoparticle cluster formation provides a causal explanation for the observed reductions in plaque size.

    Abstract A field experiment conducted during kharif season of the year 2015 at Agronomy Instructional Farm, C.P. College of Agriculture, Sardar krushinagar Dantiwada Agricultural University, Sardar krushinagar Gujrat. Application of T₉ (50% N through castor cake + 50% N through vermicompost + PSB) and T₁₀: (RDF: 20+40+00 kg ha⁻¹ NPK through fertilizer) recorded higher plant growth and development. Remarkable increase in yield attributes and seed yield (1033 kg/ha) were noted with an application of 50% N through castor cake + 50% N through vermicompost + PSB (T₉). Significant improvement in protein content in seed and protein yield, N content in seed, Stover yield and N uptake by cowpea were noted with application of 50% N through FYM + 50% N through vermicompost + PSB (T₈), whereas, higher N content in stover and P content in seed were recorded under treatment T₉ (50% N through castor cake + 50% N through vermicompost + PSB). Treatment T₁₀ (RDF: 20+40+00 kg ha⁻¹ NPK through fertilizer) realized higher net realization (42371ha⁻¹) and BCR (2.83) because organic fertilizer per unit cost higher than inorganic fertilizer

    Abstract Objective: This paper objectively evaluates current information available to the general public related to glue ear on the World Wide Web.
    Methods: The term 'glue ear' was typed into the 3 most frequently used internet search engines - Google, Bing and Yahoo - and the first 20 links were analysed. The first 400 words of each page were used to calculate the Flesch-Kincaid readability score. Each website was subsequently graded using the Discern instrument, which gauges quality and content of literature.
    Results: The websites Webmd.boots.com, Bupa.co.uk and Patient.co.uk received the highest overall scores. These reflected top scores in either readability or Discern instrument assessment, but not both. Readability and Discern scores increased with the presence of a marketing or advertising incentive. The Patient.co.uk website had the highest Discern score and third highest readability score.
    Conclusion: There is huge variation in the quality of information available to patients on the internet. Some websites may be accessible to a wide range of reading ages but have poor quality content, and vice versa. Clinicians should be aware of indicators of quality, and use validated instruments to assess and recommend literature.

    Abstract Progress of the industrial safety and occupational health movements in the United States toward their common goal of protecting the physical welfare of workers is discussed in this article. When these activities and workmen's compensation began, about a half century ago, it was anticipated that they would be "complementary and mutually sustaining." Besides presenting historical accounts of the safety and health movements, the authors evaluate the current problems and relationships among safety, health, and compensation activities. This article constitutes part of a broader study by the authors to be published under the title "Workmen's Compensation and Occupational Disability." (Author's abstract courtesy EBSCO. This Article will examine that historical perspective, covering both state and federal law, and will comprehensively detail the current law relating to occupational safety and health in the State of Washington.)

    Abstract In the last few decades, there has been exponential growth in the field of herbal medicine. The growing use of botanicals (drug and other products derived from plants) by the public is forcing moves to evaluate the health claims of these agents and to develop standards of quality and manufacture. It is clear that the herbal industry needs to follow strict guidelines and that regulations are needed. This article presents the element of methods of different aspects on quality control and standardization of herbal drugs and formulation. It is followed by international guidelines of WHO for manufacture quality control and evaluation of botanicals. Herbal drugs regulations in India is discussed in detail, followed by an overview of regulatory status of herbal medicine in USA, China, Australia, Brazil, Canada and Germany.

    Abstract As the demand and commercial value of the Herbal Medicines is increasing tremendously, assurance of safety, quality and efficacy of medicinal plants and herbal products is becoming a crucial issue. The need of the hour is to develop a systematic approach and well-designed methodologies for the standardization of herbal raw materials and herbal formulations. Standardization methods should take into consideration all aspects contributing to the quality of the herbal drugs. Herbal Medicines are composed of many constituents and are therefore very capable of variation. Hence it is very important to obtain reliable chromatographic fingerprints that represent pharmacologically active and chemically characteristic components of the Herbal Medicine. The information generated based on this chromatographic pattern has a potential application in the identification of an authentic drug, in excluding the adulterants and in maintaining the quality and consistency of the drug. Several analytical techniques have been developed for obtaining fingerprinting profiles of the herbal medicines and have assured to be a valuable tool for proving constant composition of herbal preparations by establishing relevant criteria for uniformity. This paper deals with the advanced extraction as well as chromatographic techniques with the help of which qualitative and quantitative evaluation of Herbal Medicines and formulations can be carried out. The advancement of analytical techniques is thus bringing a new era of development which will serve as a rapid and tool in the herbal research thereby allowing the manufacturers to set quality standards and specifications so as to seek marketing approval from regulatory authorities.
