Neurological diseases are gaining more importance in the developing countries like India in recent times. Epilepsy is one of the most important neurological disorders. It describes a condition in which a person experience recurrent seizures due to a chronic, underlying process. A Prospective Observational study was carried out at Rajiv Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences, Kadapa. A total of 65 patients were selected in a 6 months period based upon the inclusion and exclusion criteria. In the present study we made an attempt to conduct Drug utilization evaluation (DUE) in epileptic patients to improve treatment rationality in a tertiary care teaching hospital. Demographic and prescription data was collected and assessed based upon the DUE. From that we found that generalized seizures were the most prominent seizure encountered and monotherapy was the most frequently used treatment in all types of epileptic seizures. Our data suggests that unknown cause and stress is main offender of symptomatic epilepsy. Furthermore, we observed that there was some inappropriate usage of Anti-epileptic drugs which comprises drug-drug interaction and incorrect dosage regimen. we found generalized seizures were the most prominent seizure encountered and monotherapy was the most frequently used treatment in all types of epileptic seizures. Most commonly prescribed drug was Phenytoin. We found ADRs, medication errors and drug interactions in World Journal of Pharmaceutical Research SJIF Impact Factor 7.523 Volume 6, Issue 11, 453-469.

近年来，神经系统疾病在印度等发展中国家变得越来越重要。癫痫是最重要的神经系统疾病之一。它描述了一种情况，其中一个人经历反复发作，由于慢性的，潜在的过程。在卡达帕拉吉夫·甘地医学科学研究所进行了一项前瞻性观察研究。根据纳入和排除标准，在6个月内共选择65例患者。本研究尝试对某三级教学医院的癫痫患者进行药物利用评价(DUE)，以提高治疗的合理性。根据DUE收集和评估人口统计和处方数据。由此我们发现全面性癫痫发作是最突出的癫痫发作，单一疗法是所有类型癫痫发作中最常用的治疗方法。我们的数据表明，未知的原因和压力是症状性癫痫的主要肇事者。此外，我们还观察到一些抗癫痫药物的不当使用，包括药物相互作用和不正确的给药方案。我们发现全面性癫痫发作是最突出的癫痫发作，单一疗法是所有类型癫痫发作中最常用的治疗方法。最常用的处方药是苯妥英。我们在《World Journal of Pharmaceutical Research》SJIF影响因子7.523卷第6期第11期453-469中发现了adr、用药错误和药物相互作用。文章收稿于2017年8月1日，修订于2017年8月22日，收稿于2017年9月12日DOI: 10.20959/wjpr201711-9272

Thermo-alkali tolerant strain isolated from banana fields produced high levels of inulinase with banana peel as carbon source and showed good growth at pH 6.5 to 9.5 and 40oC to 65oC. It was identified as Stenotrophomonas maltophilia PSSB7 by 16S rDNA analysis, and it is deposited in NCL, Pune with strain number-NCIM 5323, with the accession numberFJ707375. The optimal parameters for the production of inulinase was as follows: pH 8.0, temp 45°C, higher levels of inulinase (5551± 4.583 U/L) was achieved with 1% of banana peel. And was found to be the best carbon source and the effect of different substrates influenced the biosynthesis of inulinase indicating its role as a constitutive enzyme in our strain. Sodium nitrate a best nitrogen source and Mn+ was found to be the most suitable one. All these conditions make it a potential strain for the industrial production from agro based wastes.

Tamaka Shwasa has been mentioned as Pittasmudbhava Vyadhi, caused due to the vitiation of Kapha and Vata Dosha and manifested through Pranvaha Srotasa. Vata predominantly associated with Kapha gets obstructed in the Pranavaha Srotas and gets more aggravated and in turn causes Tamaka Shwasa. Tamaka shwasa can be correlated with Bronchial Asthma. Prevalence of asthma is increasing day by day. Shwasahara yoga has Vatakaphashamaka properties. Till date there is no research work has been carried out regarding scientific evaluation of Shwasahara yoga. The present work has been carried out to standardise the drug to confirm its identity, quality, purity. Shwasahara yoga contains Kantakari, Amalaki and Hingu. Pharmacognostical study reveals starch grains, septate fibers, epicarp cells, pitted vessels, simple and stellate trichomes, stone cells of Kantakari; mesocarp cells, silica deposition, group of scleroids of Amalaki. Analytical study showed 7 spots at 254nm and 3 spots at 366nm.

One hundred fifty clinical sample were collected from preterm labor patients with (bacterial vaginosis, urinary tract infection and aborted women) 80, 15, 55 respectively, admitted to Babylon Maternity and pediatric hospital and Al-Hilla Teaching Hospital, at the period from February to October 2016. These high vaginal samples were subjected to different methods of identification of G.vginalis mainly traditional bacteriological methods. It was found that 6 (4%) G.vaginalis isolates were recovered by using selective media and Viteck 2 system where 30 (20%) isolates were recovered dependent on direct extraction to high vaginal swab on molecular level. The screening of the adherence property were carried out to all (6) isolates and showed that all of it were capable to adhere on the epithelial cell then subjected to Metranidazole reduce it. Finally in vitro anti-adherence activity to Metronidazole were studied and the results revealed that all isolates were inhibited by aqueous solution at concentration (5%) which gave results (100%) very effective to eradication adherence, the results proved that is effective on disrupted adherence in the first step.

Salvadora persica has been widely used for its reported biological activity in indigenous system of medicines. The main objective of the present investigation is to evaluate the analgesic activity of hydroalcoholic extract of Salvadora persica root on mice. Analgesic activity of hydro-alcoholic extract of Salvadora persica root at a dose of 100 mg/Kg, 200 mg /Kg and 400 mg /Kg were evaluated against drug pentazocine at a dose of 17.5 mg/Kg. Adult albino mice and rats of either sex of six numbers in each group were under taken for study and evaluated by eddy’s hot plate and tail immersion method. The all doses of Salvadora persica root crude hydro-alcoholic extract were found to produce significant (P<0.05) analgesic activity. In eddy’s hot plate and tail immersion, both method showed significant activity (P<0.05) after 30 minutes. The result showed significant analgesic activity against stimuli.

Pulsatile Drug delivery systems are gaining a lot of interest as they deliver the drug at the right site of action, at the right time and in the right amount, as per the pathophysiological needs of the diseases, resulting in increasing patient compliance. Pulsatile Drug Delivery systems are basically time-controlled drug delivery systems in which the system controls the lag time independent of environmental factors like pH, enzymes, GIT motility, etc. Various techniques are available for the pulsatile delivery like pH dependent systems, time dependent systems, etc. The major challenge in the development of pulsatile drug delivery system is to achieve a rapid drug release after the lag time. A pulse has to be generated in such a way that a complete and rapid drug release is achieved after the lag time so as to match body’s circadian rhythms with the release of drugs. Many of circadian dependent diseases display acute symptoms in early morning hours or in the morning at awakening. In case of cardiovascular diseases, BP is at its lowest during the sleep cycle and rises steeply during the early morning period. Pulsatile release systems can be classified in multiple-pulse and single-pulse systems. A popular class of single-pulse systems is that of rupturable dosage forms. Advantages of the pulsatile drug delivery system are reduced dose frequency; reduce side effects, drug targeting to specific site like colon and many more. KEWORDS: PDDS, Pulsatile Release Techniques, NDDS, Classification. INTRODUCTION Today, a vast amount of literature reports that biological processes are not constant but vary according to time.

To investigate the phytochemical screening and antioxidant potential of ethanolic and chloroform extract of breynia retusa leaf & stem. The study was done by using various invitro methods such as 1, 1diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), nitric oxide (N2O2) and Superoxide radical scavenging assays. Phytochemical screenings were performed by various standard procedures. Ethanolic and chloroform extract of 10-100μg/ml Breynia retusa leaf & stem showed high free radical scavenging activity as evidenced by the low IC50 values in DPPH (26μg/ml), in nitric oxide (31.2μg/ml) and in SOD (25.5μg/ml) radical scavenging assays at the concentration of 100μg/ml. The results of present comprehensive analysis demonstrated that ethanolic extract (100μg/ml) showed more significant anti-oxidant activity than chloroform extract of (100μg/ml) Breynia retusa leaf & stem. Breynia retusa could be used as a viable source of natural antioxidants and might be exploited for functional foods and neutraceutical applications.
