Drumstick (Moringa oleifera) and amaranth (Amaranthus tricolor) leaves are rich source of protein, â- carotene, ascorbic acid and minerals. The aim of the present study was to standardize and organoleptically evaluate drumstick leaves powder (DLP) and amaranth leaves powder (ALP) incorporated recipes with their nutritional evaluation. Products namely dal, pulao and khichri at 25% and 30% level were prepared by incorporating these powders and control. Proximate analysis and vitamin content of products were estimated. Results showed that 25% level of supplementation in dal, pulao and khichri were highly acceptable, with an overall acceptability score of 7.65 (25% DLP) and 7.37 (25% ALP) for dal and 8.20 (25% DLP) and 7.52 (25% ALP) for pulao whereas 8.05 (25% DLP) and 7.87 (25% ALP) for khichri. Dal supplemented at 25% level of DLP had 21.40% protein, 6.92% crude fat, 5.34% crude fibre, 3.65% total ash and 398Kcal energy whereas dal with 25% ALP had 21.20% crude protein, 6.32% crude fat, 4.02% crude fibre, 4.63% total ash and 397 Kcal energy. Pulao supplemented at 25% level of DLP had 10.84% protein, 6.52% crude fat, 4.39% crude fibre, 3.02% total ash and 402Kcal energy whereas pulao with 25% ALP had 9.23% crude protein, 6.01% crude fat, 3.14% crude fibre, 4.10% total ash and 401 Kcal energy. Khichri supplemented at 25% level of DLP had 11.53% protein, 5.62% crude fat, 4.46% crude fibre, 3.59% total ash and 395Kcal energy whereas khichri with 25% ALP had 11.42% crude protein, 5.05% crude fat, 3.21% crude fibre, 4.57% total ash and 394 Kcal energy. These results reveal that the leaves contain an appreciable amount of nutrients and can be included in diets to supplement our daily nutrient needs.

Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is one of the most common diseases which advance with age. It appears no single treatment is sufficient to effectively manage KOA. Diminished strength and proprioceptive acuity are associated risk factors in preventive as well as curative measures. Hence, this investigation was designed to determine the effects of weight bearing proprioceptive exercise in enhancing strength and proprioception in patients with KOA. Randomised trial with concealed allocation and intention-to-treat analysis. A population sample referred in physiotherapy department with diagnosed KOA was included. Variables such as age, sex, height, body weight and body mass index (BMI) was evaluated. Gender wise group distribution was done. Weight bearing proprioceptive training and strengthening exercises was given on alternate day. Treatment session was 6 days a week for 4 week. The data for knee pain, functional disability and proprioceptive acuity were collected and analyzed on the first day and after 4 weeks. There was significant reduction in pain, improved function and proprioceptive acuity in both groups (p< 0.05) but no significant difference between the groups. This study concluded that combined weight bearing Proprioceptive and strengthening exercises are effective in reducing pain and improving function and proprioception in subjects with knee osteoarthritis.

Occurrence of stillbirth is a tragic event faced by the obstetrician. It has many implications for the couple, family and the health care provider. It reflects a failure or lapse in implementation of maternal and child health care programme. For many reasons, stillbirth has been under-studied, under-reported, and rarely considered in attempts to improve pregnancy outcomes in low-income countries.25 Hence an effort was made to know the influence of mother's socio-biological factors on stillbirth. Object of this study was to determine maternal socio-biological factors influencing still-birth. Hospital based cross- sectional study undertaken in Post Natal Care (PNC) wards of Nehru hospital, Gorakhpur. The study period extended from July 2011 to August 2012. The study subject included recently delivered mothers and data was collected on semi-structured interview schedule to know various socio-biological variables such as mother's age, parity, inter-pregnancy interval etc, influencing the stillbirth. Chi-Square test was applied to observe the significance of association.

The health care burden due to chronic kidney disease has increased worldwide in past decade. Elucidating the spectrum of chronic kidney may help in identifying strategies for prevention of chronic kidney disease. So the present study was conducted in 2 tertiary care centers of Lucknow to analyze the spectrum of chronic kidney disease in IPD and OPD renal pateints. 100 chronic kidney disease patients (50 from indoor patient department and 50 from outdoor patient department) of more than 15 years of age, belonging to different socioeconomic status were selected and surveyed. A questionnaire-cum-interview schedule method was used which included demographic profile of patients, risk factors, common symptoms, complications, severity of disease etc. The findings concluded diabetes as a most prevalent risk factor among patients of both groups, followed by hypertension and other glomerular diseases. Vomiting, edema, nausea and abdominal pain were common in both groups. Anemia was found as the most prevalent complication, followed by hyperphosphatemia and hyponatremia. Other diseases like diabetes mellitus, high blood pressure, infections, CVD and obesity cause greater levels of morbidity and mortality among the population as a whole and kidney disease is important in large part because of its relationship with more common diseases. Early treatment can reduce the risk of developing more serious disease or can at least slow the rate at which the disease progresses.

In present study some tuberculous cases were investigated for biochemical parameters such as ADA and CRP, it is found that, the sensitivity and specificity for serum concentration is 98% and 100% of serum ADA concentration and CRP, respectively.
After the study, the result confirms the high sensitivity and specificity of ADA test for really diagnosis of TB in cases of serous effusion. The selective enzyme increase in tuberculous peritonitis strongly supports the concept that the study of ADA activity is of great value for identifying the tuberculosis etiology of ascites.
ADA has been proposed to be a useful surrogate marker for TB in pleural, pericardial and peritoneal fluids. High levels of serum CRP indicate that it is also a good indicator of the severity and progress of the tuberculosis.
Cytological examination of suspected malignant pleural effusion can result in false-negative rates of up to 40%. Diagnostic difficulties have led to the search of novel markers. Pleural fluid ADA and CRP levels were established to be significantly higher in tuberculous and parapneumonic effusions (PPES) when compared with other pleural effusions. Pleural fluid ADA and CRP levels can be a useful combination in the differential diagnosis of pleural effusions of malignant, tuberculous, and parapneumonic nature.

Aloe vera is the oldest medicinal plant ever known and the most applied medicinal plant worldwide. The first written records about the use of Aloe vera were found on over 6,000 years old clay tablets found in Mesopotamia.In recent years, considerable progress has been made in pharmacological research on Aloe vera and there has appeared in the market some aloe food, medicine, health care products and cosmetics, which seems to be very popular. Hence, the study was taken up to formulate food products like jams, laddus by adding Aloe vera. The samples prepared were analyzed for nutritional constituents using standard procedures (AOAC,1995). Aloe vera Laddus contained 34.21%, 39.52% and 45.91% moisture on D1, D2 and D3 respectively. The mean scores of protein content in samples of laddus were 6.02%, 5.06% and 4.11% on D1, D2 and D3 respectively. The mean score of Aloe veraladdus for fat were 17.82%, 16.40% and 15.28% on D1, D2 and D3 respectively. The mean score of carbohydrate content in Aloe vera laddus were 23.23%, 22.15% and 20.12% on D1, D2 and D3 respectively. The mean score of crude fibre content in Aloe vera laddus were 7.49%, 6.42% and 5.32% on D1, D2 and D3 respectively. Aloe vera jam contained 45.93%, 45.95% and 45.98% moisture on D1, D2 and D3 respectively. The mean scores of protein content in samples of jam were 5.03%, 5.06% and 5.09% on D1, D2 and D3 respectively. The mean score of fat content in Aloe vera jam was 3.2% on D1, D2 and D3. The mean score of carbohydrate content in Aloe vera jam was 25.89%, 27.83% and 27.90% on D1, D2 and D3 respectively. The mean score of crude fibre content in Aloe vera jam was 12.7%, 12.60% and 12.55% on D1, D2 and D3 respectively. Inclusion of such products in the diet of an individual can help in providing nourishment as well as the therapeutic benefits of Aloe, especially for its laxative and hypoglycaemic effect.

The present study was conducted to examine the dose dependent effect of germinated fenugreek seed flour on type 2 diabetics. This case control clinical trial was conducted on 30 type 2 diabetic subjects who were equally divided into 3 groups: experimental group 1 (EG-1), experimental group 2 (EG-2) and control group (CG). The EG-1 subjects were supplemented with20 g germinated fenugreek seed flour in chapatti twice a day and EG-2 patients with 20 g germinated fenugreek seed flour with water four times a day for 60 days.The metabolic parameters studied were fasting glucose, post prandial glucose, serum cholesterol, serum LDL, serum HDL, serum triglycerides, and serum VLDL. Significant reduction was recorded in serum glucose (23%), serum cholesterol (6%), serum LDL (20%) and a slight decrease in serum triglycerides and VLDL. Serum HDL increased significantly by 23 per cent. During the cross over randomized clinical trial, all metabolic parameters except for HDL increased upon stopping the supplementation. Thus, it is concluded that fenugreek seed flour as a low GI food product leads to modest improvement in long-term glycemic and lipidemic control in type 2 diabetics.
