Development of Cotton and Cotton Gauze Fabric Coated with Swietenia microphylla Bark as a Wound Contact Layer
Abstract: The present work discusses the development of cotton and cotton gauze-based bandage using mahogany. The biological properties of mahogany bark extract have been identified. The 25% concentration of mahogany extract have been treated directly and kept at room temperature for conditioning. Further the antibacterial activity of mahogany-treated samples have been evaluated against wound infecting pathogens (AATCC- 147) Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Serratia marcescens and Staphylococcus aureus. …

Cadmium Toxicity: Oxidative Stress and Organ Dysfunction
Abstract: Due to continued anthropogenic mobilization, cadmium accumulation in the environment causes various health problems because of its diverse toxic effects, extremely lingering biological half life (20–30 years), low rate of excretion from the body and storage predominantly in soft tissue primarily liver and kidney. Cadmium is known to have numerous noxious effects, including nephrotoxicity, hepatoxicity, osteoporosis, cardiovascular toxicity, lung toxicity, and reproductive toxicity. The biologically significant ionic form of cadmium, …

An Outline of Poisoning at Kadapa (South India)
Abstract: The epidemiology of poisoning can be studied from different perspectives. Early correct diagnosis and appropriate treatment, conversely, are often lives saving. Therefore, the knowledge of the general pattern of poisoning in a particular region would help in early diagnosis and management of poisoning, which in turn should result in a reduction of morbidity and mortality. Retrospective observational Study was conducted for a period of six months in the general medicine …

Rotenone Beyond Just An Insecticide: A Review
Abstract: Pesticides have received the most attention due to their global application and widespread implications on human health. In recent years, both epidemiological and toxicological studies have provided evidence that pesticides have the potential to act as toxicants contributing to the development of pathogenesis such as neuronal degenerations as well as may be utilized to induce signalling for reversal, suppress or prevent carcinogenic progression. Rotenone, an isoflavones naturally found in the …
