A Comparative Study of Timed Up and Go Test and Tinetti Performance Oriented Mobility Assessment in Predicting Falls in Hemiparetic Stroke Patients
Abstract: Hemiparesis following stroke is the most frequent cause of adult disability. Falls in stroke survivors are a consequence of stroke related locomotor deficits or balance deficits or gait disturbances. Falls are common following stroke but knowledge about predicting future fallers is lacking. The purpose of this study was to compare Timed Up and Go test (TUG) scores and Performance Oriented Mobility Assessment (POMA) scores for predicting falls in Hemiparetic patients …

Studies on acute toxicity and behavioral responses of Heteropneustes fossilis (Linn.) exposed to Diazinon
Abstract: In the present study, acute toxicity of the organophosphate pesticide, diazinon, was evaluated under experimental condition to adult Heteropneustes fossilis. The 96 h LC50 with 95% confidence limits of Heteropneustes fossilis is 16.56 (14.32- 18.04) mg/l. None of the unexposed control fish died during the experiment. Mortality rate between each dose and mortality rate between 24-96 h depending on time was correlated. In the fish, significant relationship (p<0.05) was recorded …
