Abstract:- Modern pharmacological therapies for menstruation pain commonly focus on alleviating menstrual pain and relaxing uterine muscle contraction by using non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), or oral contraceptive pills. Because treatment with NSAIDs is associated with a number of side effects and inadequate pain control by NSAIDs alone in some of cases, the current study was designed to overcome such limitation using Shirazi Thymus Vulgaris as a new pain killer. 120 students of Ilam University of Medical Sciences checked for their inclusion criteria that were singleness at the time of study, aged between 18 to 25 years, accommodated at University campus and having primary dysmenorrhea prior to the enrolment to the study. The participants either received Shirazi Thymus Vulgaris (5ml of the four times a day) or Ibuprofen (three times a day) orally. Both the analyzing methods of VMS and VAS were used to record the pain grade and pain scoring among the participants. The Shirazi Thymus Volgaris cured the pain with similar grade and score as the Ibuprofen at the first and second month of trial. The pain killing specificity of the current herbal medication may be due to its antispasmodic effects and therefore such safe medication can be evaluated and used for the pain therapy using different pain scoring system.
Keywords: -Menstrual pain, Pain Score, Shirazi Thymus Vulgaris, VMS.

Abstract:- Behavioural disorders are behaviours by which an individual would negate other’s rights and social rules. This disorder happens more in childhood or adolescent .The present research has been performed with the purpose of considering the extent of prevalence of behavioral disorders in male and female elementary students in Ilam city. This study is descriptive–cross–sectional and causative -comparative, its statistical society is including students in Ilam city with total number 15283 in 2004-2005 educational years. The respected sample was obtained through screening with 840 subjects. Data gathering tool was a questionnaire, a form special for teachers. Data analysis has been performed through X2 test and correlation coefficient. Total prevalence of behavioral disorders among students was 5/5%: 3/08% for boys and 2/42% for girls. The prevalence of disorders related to care deficiency was calculated 1/85%, anxiety and Stress 1/63%, anti-social mood behaviours 1/41%, non-harmonious Behaviour 61%. Based on the research results it was determined that the prevalence of behavioral disorders in boys was more than girls and there was a meaningful relationship between gender education levels, age, parent’s education based on behavioural disorder (P < 0.05).
Key words:- Prevalence, behavioural disorders, student.

Abstract:- Aims & Objectives: Safety of blood is very important. Blood transfusion can cause the transmission of infections to recipients. This is an important mode of infection. The aim of study to assess HCV infection among blood donors. Retrospective study of five years from Jan.2007 to Dec.2011 was done. This study was conducted at Blood bank, MIMSR Medical College Latur, Govt. Medical College, Latur and Bhalchandra Blood bank, Latur. Materials & Methods: Total 10, 4925 donors were tested. Donors were screened for seroprevalence of HCV along with other necessary tests. Screening of HCV was done by Elisa method. Results: The Seroprevalence of HCV was 0.22% in total donors. Conclusion: The Seroprevalence is decreasing from 2007 to 2011 in this study in this type of infection. But it should be noted that maximum donors are voluntary (79.33%) who have donated blood in big blood donation camps. To reduce the seroprevalence still low, the selection of voluntary donors should be of high quality.
Key words:- Seroprevalence, Blood donation, HCV, blood transfusion infections.

Abstract:- Recent HIV infection (<6 months) represents the initial stage of the disease, when viral replication is associated with dissemination in lymphoid tissue and a distinct immunologic response. Patients with recent infection have symptoms, including flu like symptoms, fever, skin rash, headache, diarrhea, malaise, and lethargy. Recent HIV infections also include seroconversion with positive HIV serology generally takes place at 3 to 12 weeks following the viral transmission and clinical latent period which extends beyond 6 months in which most of the patients remained asymptomatic. In this study Established HIV-1 infection (>6 months) includes clinical latent period, symptomatic HIV-1 infection, AIDS and advanced HIV-1 infection, characterized by a CD4 cell count <50/mm3. This study was conducted in 261 HIV seropositive patients with recent and established HIV-1 infection. Data analyzed using SPSS 16.0 and variables are compared by using chi square test. There were total 33 cases identified as recent cases and 228 cases as established cases. Among recent and established infection fever was the commonest presentation. Flu like symptoms were commonly seen in all cases of recent infection. Majority of established cases of HIV showed generalized lymphadenopathy with weight loss.

Abstract:- This paper addresses the problem of adverse pregnancy outcome in relation to periodontal disease. There is compelling evidence that a link exists between pre-term low birth weight and periodontitis. Although 25% to 50% of pre-term low birth weight deliveries occur without any known etiology, there is increasing evidence that infection may play a significant role in preterm delivery. The aim of this review is to summarize known risk factors for preterm low birthweight infants together with some putative mechanisms which may link these risk factors to preterm low birthweight. Current evidence has pointed to an interest in dental intervention studies to control periodontal disease as one of the potential strategies to reduce pre-term labour. This paper reviews the potential association between periodontal infection and preterm low birth weight infants.
Key Words: -Low Birth Weight, Preterm birth, Periodontal disease.
