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:- Objective: To determine whether serum (pseudo)cholinesterase levels has any diagnostic and prognostic value in acute organophosphorus poisoning. Design: cohort (prospective) study Patients: 40 consecutive patients admitted to ICU for acute organophosphate poisoning. Measurements: Serial measurement of Serum Cholinesterase levels in all patients – 4 times, at the time of admission before administration of PAM(Pyridine aldoxime methiodine), 24hrs after administration of PAM, 48hrs after administration of PAM, 72hrs after administration of PAM. Results: serum cholinesterase levels were significantly decreased in acute organophosphorus poisoning cases when compared to controls and also there is regeneration of serum cholinesterase levels after administration of PAM by 22 %, 45% and 73% after 24hrs, 48hrs and 72 hrs. Conclusion: serum cholinesterase levels have diagnostic value as their levels are significantly decreased in organophosphorus poisoning cases and also prognostic value as there is regeneration of serum cholinesterase levels after administration of PAM.

Abstract:-Background: Controlled local delivery of disinfecting agents has been demonstrated to be efficient in improving the outcome of periodontal therapy. Aims: The aim of present study was to evaluate the efficacy of a controlled-release biodegradable chlorhexidine chip (Periocol CG) when used as an adjunct to scaling and root planing in the treatment of periodontitis. Study Design: Study was carried out as randomized controlled two group parallel clinical trial. Material and method: Forty patients in the age group of 30-65 years suffering from chronic periodontitis, having pocket depth ranging between 5-8mm were selected for the study. At screening visit complete history taking, periodontal examination and full mouth supragingival scaling was done for each patient. At baseline visit, all clinical parameters were recorded at selected sites and patients were randomly assigned to either control group (group A) or the treatment group (group B). All patients in the both groups received complete subgingival scaling and root planing. Then in group B, chlorhexidine chip (Periocol CG) was inserted at the selected site. Patients were recalled at 1month, 2 months and 3 months from the baseline for recording clinical observations. Results: There was statistically significant clinical attachment gain, reduction in bleeding index scores and probing pocket depth reduction in both the groups but group B showed better results than group A and these differences were statistically significant. Conclusions: The results of this study show that chlorhexidine chip (PerioCol-CG) is an effective adjunctive therapy to scaling and root planing in the treatment of chronic periodontitis.

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.
