The effect of medication reviews on reducing medication anticholinergic burden in elderly patients

Anticholinergic side effects of medications often misdiagnosed as cognitive function decline in the elderly. The study aims to explore the effectiveness of home medication reviews on reducing anticholinergic burden caused by medications with anticholinergic properties in elderly patients in Australia. The study was a qualitative, prospective, observational case-control study. Interviews at baseline and six-month were performed. Medications changes were theoretically possible to reduce the Anticholinergic Cognitive Burden score, but occasionally are impractical to implement.

Effects of irrigation schedules and nutrient levels on mustard (brassica juncea l.)

A field experiment was carried out at the research farm of A. S. (PG) College, Lakhaoti, Bulandshahr, (U.P.) during winter 2009-10 and 2010-11. The soil of experimental field was sandy loam and slightly alkaline in reaction (pH 7.7). The treatments consisted of four irrigation schedules viz. I0- no irrigation, I1- one irrigation at pre-flowering, I2- one irrigation at pod filling, I3- two irrigations one each at pre-flowering and pod filling, three phosphorus levels viz. P0- control, P30- 30 kg P2O5 ha-1, P60- 60 kg P2O5 ha-1 and three sulphur levels viz.

Role of regional rural banks for agricultural development: A review

The focus on this paper is to represent various schemes approved for development of agriculture by RB I and RRBs.Number of RRBs is running across India to fulfill this target. The scope of this paper is around RRB running in India especially in Himachal Pradesh (Himachal Pradesh Gramin bank). This paper includes the architecture of Credit system in India and performance charts of Himachal Pradesh Gramin bank during 2016-2017.

Reducing the drudgery involved in the fermentation of maize (zea mays) gruel (ogi)

Ogi, a popular fermented cereal-based foods consumed as weaning foods by infants and as dietary staples for adults in west Africa is usually processed by natural fermentation, which takes up to 48h to produce. This is the first report of producing the maize gruel (ogi) in less than 5h, by pre-treatment of the maize grains before fermentation.

Medicinal plants used in vatarakta (gout): a critical review

Vatarakta is Vata pradhana Tridoshaja Vyadhi, Rakta is main dushya.It is characterized by Aakhudanshvat Pida (Piercing Pain like rat bite) in joints. There are two types of Vatrakta- Uttana and Gambhira. Symptoms of Vatarakta is very similar to Gout, So Vatarakta can be very well correlated with Gout. Goutis one of the most common articular disease, which is caused by Hyperurecemia. It is characterized by severe pain, inflammation, tenderness and burning sensation in affected joints especially small joints of hands and feet.

Vegetative propagation by aerial layering of pterocarpuserinaceus: in the sudanian zone

Researches on the development of vegetative propagation techniques have been carried out on Pterocarpuserinaceus trees in Burkina Faso. The objective of the study is to develop low cost production techniques of plants by air layering. It is specifically to highlight the diameter of the branch, the positions of the layers on the branch and the frequencies of watering which optimize the rooting rate of the layers. Two trials were carried out in rainy seasons in Saria, Burkina Faso, on a 10-year-old P. erinaceus plantation, where the mean height was 10.7 ± 2.5 m.

Benefits of cow urine – a review

The Cow urine has been used from ancient times for curing many ailments of human beings. It is important and essential part of Panchgavya Chikitsa. Difffernt Ayurvedic literature have mentioned its importance and uses for treatment of, Kushtha, Kandu, Udarrog, Colic, Abdominal tumour, Enlargement of the abdomen and Flatulence, for therapies such as decoction purgation, enema etc.

Effect of source and storage times of scion to carbohydrate, protein, lipids, and auxin content at durian nursery (durio zibethinus. murr)

Durian nursery can be done by using source of generative and vegetative material. Both sources of propagation have their own weaknesses and strengths. To obtain quality seeds, the combination of two sources of propagation materials each has complementary advantages. The process of merging can be through grafting or bud buds (grafting). Connection method on durian nursery can use side grafting and bud grafting. The purpose of this research is to know the difference of carbohydrate, protein, lipids, and auxin content in various sources and storage times scion.

Isolation of polythene degrading bacteria from garbage soil

Polythene is a polymerized ethylene monomer which is resistant to degradation accumulates in an environment. Polythene used in everyday life as a packaging material. Release of toxic chemicals from polythene creates negative impacts on environment and life threatening problems to many aquatic and terrestrial organisms. The present study focused on biodegradation of polythene by soil microorganisms .Isolated microorganisms were identified based on biochemical characterization as Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus cereus.
