Abstract:
Objectives: Aim of the present study was to identify pharmacy student’s perception towards the value and scope of community pharmacy in Pakistan and their attitude towards the course of community pharmacy.
Material and Method: This cross sectional study was conducted from Jan till Jun 2013. A pretested questionnaire comprising of 20 questions was administered to fourth and fifth professional pharmacy undergraduate students of different private and public sector universities of Karachi. The questionnaire sought the demographics of the students, their attitude towards the value and scope of community pharmacy in Pakistan and their perception towards the contents of the course of community pharmacy. Descriptive statistics on the sample characteristics and percentages was calculated. Independent sample t-test was used to observe influence of gender, institution and academic year on their opinions.
Results: Out of 525 students, 450 (85.7%) students responded to the questionnaire. The overall response of the participants towards the importance of the profession and course was positive. 85% of the students strongly recommended the availability of pharmacist in the community pharmacies. More than 50% of the respondent realized that working as community pharmacist is a great responsibility. About 60% of respondents strongly agreed that the course is helpful in enhancing the status of the community health in population.
Conclusions: It is concluded that our undergraduate pharmacy students showed positive attitude towards the community pharmacy practice and highlighted the need of community pharmacist in healthcare system of Pakistan. As the pharmacists have a significant impact on public health and improving patient’s quality of life therefore the current practice of community pharmacists needs further improvement.
Key Words: Community pharmacy practice, Community pharmacy course, student’s perception, health status, Pakistan.

Abstract:-
The present study was conducted to evaluate the methanol, chloroform and hexane extracts of two marine macroalgae (Rhodophyta) Gracilaria crassa Harvey ex. J. Agardh and Gracilaria corticata J. Agardh collected from Kilakarai, Rameswaram, Tamilnadu were investigated for antioxidant and antibacterial activity by well diffusion method. Best results were shown by the methanol extract of both seaweeds followed by chloroform and hexane extracts. Bacillus subtilis shows activity only in methanol extract of both red seaweeds. Pathogen strains of gram positive: viz., Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis and Bacillus subtilis, three gram negative: viz., Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Proteus mirabilis were used to test antibacterial activity. The biological activity observed in this study offers opportunities for further chemical analyses, such as the isolation of the active compounds responsible for this activity, in order to contribute to the discovery of new drugs.
Key Words:- Seaweeds; Gracilaria crassa; Gracilaria corticata; antibacterial; antioxidant.

Abstract:
Rabies is a fatal disease for which there is no cure and is seen worldwide. Rabies continues to be a serious public health problem in India and other developing countries. In India the data on animal bite in country is scanty, unreliable and controversial due to poor surveillance / reporting system. Cases of animal bite contribute to a problem of considerable magnitude in terms of days lost from work in search of appropriate treatment and financial loss. There are many myth and false beliefs associated with wound management. This includes application of oil herb, and red chilly, on wound inflicted by rabid animal.
Objective: To study epidemiological characteristic of dog bite injury and to study pre treatment practices among the study population.
Material & Method:
A cross sectional study of 636 animal bite victim reported at ARV clinic of Government Medical College and tertiary care hospital, Akola for medical advice and post exposure immunization against rabies during past three months has been done. Statistical analysis was done by EPI info software.
Result: Out of 636 most common animal bite was dog as 92.45% gives the history of dog bite. Majority i,e (72.48%) of the cases were Male. Maximum no (25.47%) of cases belongs to 21 to 30 years of age group. Lower limb was the most common (70.29%) biting site and majority (88.66%) had Category III bites. Maximum number (39.15%) of cases wash the biting site with plain water fallowed by soap and water other local remedies like lime and turmeric powder were used as pre treatment management of wound.
Conclusion: There is need to create the awareness in community about proper management of wound
Key Words: Animal bite, site of bite, pretreatment practice.

Abstract:
The aim of this study was to determine the importance of microflora in industry. The samples were collected from various places of Lucknow for “Optimization, production and characterization of industrial microflora”. According to result basis total 10 cultures were isolated and out of 10 only 4 cultures were identified through Bergey’s Manual. Further production, optimization were performed through various sources. The obtained cultures were Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, Micrococcus luteus and Bacillus megaterium. The culture conditions were checked at different parameters like-carbon sources, nitrogen sources, pH and also metal ions at the concentration of 1%, 1% and 0.2% respectively. Further to check the better growth in various sources the optimized production media was prepared, according to the best result of optimization the activity was checked to enhance the production of various proteins, enzymes and secondary metabolites.

Trichoepitheliomas are hamartomas of hair germ. Multiple trichoepitheliomas are mostly transmitted as an autosomal dominant trait. A rare and unique case of multiple trichoepitheliomas, with extensive lesions but neither a positive family history nor findings in favour of any of the associated syndromes is being described here.
