Abstract:- Background: The elderly population is expected to grow considerably in the near future. This rise will especially be prominent in the developing countries where an increment of 140% is projected, compared to 51% in the developed countries. As a result of this, a significant impact on the overall healthcare cost is inevitable. Research has shown that health related conditions and socio-economic factors influence disability in the elderly. Aims & Objectives: To study various health related problems in elderly population. Material and Methods: 240 elderly individuals, 80 each from Urban, Urban slum and Rural Areas of Jamnagar district of Gujarat were enrolled in study by simple random sampling method. Information regarding Socio-demographic details and health related problems of study subjects were collected in pretested proforma. Results: Mean number of health problem was 1.73. Difficulty in vision was observed in 133(55.43)% of study subjects while this proportion was 68(28.33%) for difficulty in hearing. Major health problems were Cataract 58 (24.17%), Bronchitis 52 (21.68%) & Bronchial asthma 43 (17.92%). Non-communicable diseases i.e. Hypertension and Diabetes were found in 27(11.25%) and 16(6.67%). Significant association was found between prevalence of hypertension and social class of study subjects, while this difference was non significant for Diabetes. Statistical Tests: Percentage, Chi-square .

Abstract:- Introduction: Ottorhoea is a common presenting complaint of patients seeking medical attention .Otitis in all it’s forms has a varied microbial etiology which influences the selection of an efficacious anti microbial agent. Hence the objective of this study was to identify the etiological agents in patients coming with complaints of otorhoea. Methods: A total of 150 cases were enrolled in the study conducted in the department of Microbiology, Padmashree Dr D Y Patil Medical College, Pimpri Pune from patients attending OPD in the department of Ottolaryngology. Sterile cotton swabs were used to collect samples from patients complaining of ear discharge. Samples were processed by standard microbiology protocols by traditional methods including microscopy, culture, biochemicals. Antibiotic Susceptibility was done by Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method. Fungal culture was done on Sabouraud Dextrose Agar(SDA). Results and Observations: Of 150 cases studied, 121 were culture positive and remaining culture negative. A total of 161 organisms was recovered from 121 patients. Staphylococcus aureus was recovered in 68 cases, fungal culture was positive in 38 followed by Pseudomonas in 27.Ciprofloxacin and Amikacin susceptibility was highest in Gram negatives. While Gram positive organisms showed high susceptibility to Cefuroxime and Vancomycin. Conclusions: S.aureus was the most common bacteria isolated. Susceptibility to Ciprofloxacin ,Cefuroxime and Amikacin was found to be high.
Key Words :- Ottorhoea, S.aureus, antibiotic susceptibility.

Abstract:-The sorption abilities of powders of leaves, stems or ashes of Eichhornia plant have been explored in extracting Ammonia from polluted waters. Physicochemical parameters such as pH, sorbent concentration and equilibration time have been optimized for the maximum extraction of Ammonia. Successful procedures have been developed in removing quantitatively more than 80.0% of Ammonia from simulated waters. Anions like Chlorides, Fluorides, Sulphate, Phosphate and Carbonates have shown marginal interference while cations like Ca2+, Mg2+ Cu2+, Fe2+, Zn2+and Ni2+ have interfered to some extent. However, the % of extractability of Ammonia never comes down 67.0%. The adoptability of the methodologies developed in this work are tested with diverse samples collected from industrial effluents and naturally existing polluted lakes and it is found that the procedures are remarkably successful.
Keywords:- Ammonia, pollution control, bio-sorbents, applications.

Abstract: Aim: To compare the functional, clinical and radiological outcomes between open reduction with internal fixation of intrarticular fracture distal radius with locking compression volar T- plate and non locking volar T- plate. Methods: The study included patients with comminuted unstable intra-articular distal radius fracture treated by open reduction and internal fixation from Sept. 2008 to Sept. 2011, Out of total cases operated in Orthopedic department of S.R.G. Hospital , Jhalawar, we have included 22 cases of fracture distal end radius by open reduction and internal fixation . 11 were operated by using non-locking volar T- plate and 11 were operated with locking compression volar T- plate. Follow up of both the groups were done for 24-26 wks.The two groups were compared for range of motion(ROM) , clinical and radiological grounds. Results: All patients were assessed clinically and radio graphically after a mean follow-up duration of 24-26 weaks . Results were obtained according to functional criteria of Green and O’Brien Point System . We found that the clinical and radiological outcomes for the 2 groups were not significantly different. Conclusion: Open reduction and internal fixation of of distal radius fracture with volar T- plate radius locking and nonlocking in adults can restore articular congruity and result in good to excellent function. Though in severe osteoporotic fracture and severe cummunited fracture locking type volar T- plate is a better alternative mode of treatment.

Abstract:- The agricultural industry is a dangerous one. It is characterized by a combination of factors which increase the potential for injury. Working alone and time pressure also increase the risk of injury. When these injuries occur, especially at critical farming times, they can reduce farm revenues. Losing a limb and the resulting loss of productive work time can devastate both the short and the long-term profitability of a farm operation. If in performing the farm works the workers miscarried the civil liability of employer is discussed. In this article the civil liability of employer relate to harming act and cause and delinquency is discussed.
