Abstract:- The distribution of ABO and Rh-D blood groups was studied among 26,288 subjects. They included blood donors, transfusion recipients and patients attending Employees State Insurance Corporation(ESIC) Model Hospital for medical interventions. The most common blood group was found to be group O [10,645, (40.5%)] followed by group B [7734(29.4%)],group A [6243,(23.7%)]and group AB [1,666(6.3%)]. The prevalence of Rh-D positivity and negativity was [24955 (94.9%)] and 1333 (5.01%) respectively.
Key Words:- ABO, blood group, Rh typing.

Abstract :- Back ground: Curcumin, a naturally occurring o-methoxyphenol derivative, has been shown to possess several biological properties including antioxidant (free radical scavenging activity), induction of detoxification enzymes and provides protection against degenerative diseases. Topical applications of compounds with free radical scavenging properties in patients have shown to improve significantly wound healing and protect tissues from oxidative damage. Objectives: To assess the effect of a topical curcumin preparation on healing of partial thickness burn wounds in rats. Methods: The rats are randomly divided into four groups, comprising of six rats in each group. Partial thickness burn wounds are created by pouring hot molten wax at 80ºC. Group I acts a control, Group 2 receives the standard silver sulphadiazine cream, Group 3 gets 20% curcumin cream, and Group 4 receives the combination of the dexamethasone and curcumin cream. Parameters observed are epithelialization period and wound contraction. Results & Discussion: The percentage of wound contraction was significantly increased in the topical curcumin preparation (20%) and silver sulfadiazine group compared to control group. The mean period of epithelization was significantly reduced in topical curcumin preparation (20%) group and silver sulfadiazine group as compared to the control. Conclusion: Topical curcumin preparation is effective in healing burn wound and the effect was comparable to that of standard drug i.e. silver sulfadiazine.
Keywords:- Topical curcumin, burn wound, epithelization period, wound contraction.

Abstract:- Background & Objectives: The three elements of muscle performance, strength, power and endurance can be enhanced by exercise. To what extent each of these elements is altered by exercise depends on how the training is applied and how the factors such as the intensity, frequency and duration of exercise are manipulated. Aim of this study is to find out the acute effect of Continuous and Intermittent Cycling on maximum strength for leg press in non-athlete females. Method: A randomized crossover study was carried out to check the effect of aerobic exercise on strength training. 10 non-athlete Female student volunteers from physiotherapy college were under went, [1] Control Session (Control): 1RM was calculated without any exercise. [2] Experimental Session-1 (Continuous): Continuous Cycling for 30min. at 65-75% of MHR (Maximum heart rate). [3] Experimental Session-2 (Intermittent): 3 bouts of 10min cycling at 65-75% of MHR. After 10min of rest 1RM was calculated. Each session was 1 week apart to avoid any carryover effect. Result: The Mean ± SD value of 1RM for control group is 137.65±14.32, continuous aerobic training group is 117.69±14.34 and for intermittent aerobic training group is 109.66±13.89.One way ANOVA and post-hoc Tukey HSD were showed that there is significant difference between Control and Continuous & Control and intermittent but there is no significant difference between continuous and intermittent cycling on 1RM. Conclusion: Continuous or Intermittent protocol of Endurance exercise is equally effective to produce interference in maximum strength.

Abstract:- Anal tumors are rare and are 20-30 times less common than colonic cancers. Tumors of the anus occur throughout the world but are particularly common in Brazil and India. The present study was undertaken to know the histomorphological patterns and incidence of anal cancers in and around Davangere, a district in central Karnataka. Anal cancers constituted 0.17% of the total specimen received for histopathology. Females (72.22%) were more commonly affected than males(27.77%). Squamous cell carcinoma was the commonest histomorphologic type of malignancy.(50%).Since symptoms of anal cancer are mostly attributed to benign conditions by most patients as well as doctors, proper identification, diagnosis and typing of the anal cancers is necessary for appropriate treatment of the same.
Key Words:- Carcinoma, cancer.

Abstract:- Many herbal remedies have so far been employed for the treatment and management of various ailments since the beginning of human civilization. Tecoma stans Juss. (Bignoniaceae) is a plant widely distributed in Mexico and frequently used for the treatment of Diabetes mellitus symptomatology. The aim of this review was to collect all available scientific literature published and combine it into this review. The present review comprises the ethnopharmacological, phytochemical and therapeutic potential of Tecoma stans. The present review includes 43 references compiled from major databases as Chemical Abstracts, Science Direct, SciFinder, PubMed, Dr. Dukes Phytochemical and Ethnobotany. An exhaustive survey of literature revealed that alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, phenols, steroids, anthraquinones and tannins, terpenes, phytosterols and glycosides constitute major classes of phytoconstituents of this plant. Pharmacological reports revealed that it is having antidiabetic, anticancer, antioxidant, antispasmodic, antimicrobial, and antifungal, properties, and extensively used in the treatment of diabetes. Tecoma stans seems to hold great potential for in-depth investigation for various biological activities, Through this review, the authors hope to attract the attention of natural product researchers throughout the world to focus on the unexplored potential of Tecoma stans, and it may be useful in developing new formulations with more therapeutic value.
