A roly-poly child obviously attracts many attentions but if the trend remains unchanged it could be a reason of worry as this is the primitive sign of childhood obesity which is the leading problem in today’s era. With continuous change in life style and dietary habits, child has become the victim of many diseases and obesity (Sthaulya) is one of them. There are and were some human activists talking about reducing the weight of study bags; but none is thinking about the weight our babies are carrying. In present era both parents are working, to earn the luxuries and amusements, so the kids are left with the food packets at home with idiot boxes to see some “de-shaped” cartoons resulting in the reduction of healthy nutritious diet and also reducing their body activity. The body weight of our babies is putting pressure on their “cuteness”, their “happiness”, their “emotions” and on their “being”. In Ayurveda it needs step by step examination and treatment to break the ‘Dushtasamprapti Chakra’ of Sthaulya by both non pharmacological such as Yoga and pharmacological remedies such as Panchakarma therapy, Shamana therapy etc. to achieve the goal.

Abstract Background Injury is one of the major public health problems, which causes more than 5 million deaths in the world every year. Cases of specific types of injury put a tremendous threat to human health and also add a heavy medical burden on individuals and societies. This study was to calculate and analyze the current curative expenditure (CCE) of injury in Dalian and consequently to provide control strategies for decision-makers. Main text: A total of 565 medical institutions were selected with multistage stratified cluster random sampling, containing 4,375,351 valid samples. Subsequently, the distribution of injury CCE in different dimensions (including age and site of injury) was analyzed under the framework of System of Health Accounts 2011(SHA 2011) using the established database. There were increases from 32.36/100,000 in 2006 to 37.34/100,000 in 2017 and from 46.12/100,000 in 2006 to 54.48/100,000 in 2017 in urban and rural residents respectively. The study found that the CCE of injury in Dalian had reached 1572.73 million RMB, accounting for 7.45% of the total curative care expenditure. In the 15–25 age group, the cost of injury accounts for a larger proportion of CCE than other age groups. Among the injuries in different regions of the body, injuries to the spine, lower limb, head and foreign body entering cost the most. Conclusions Dalian has a relatively serious burden of injury costs. The essential and primary goal is to reduce the cost and increase the benefit of attending to patients with injuries. Specific control strategies should be tilted toward the age group 15–25. Injuries to the spine, lower limb, head and foreign body entering also should be priorities of interventions.

The ability of cattle to maintain a normal body temperature in a dry, hot, inland Australian environment is associated with their ability to dissipate excess heat from the body. A heat tolerance test, based on rectal temperature responses after exercise, is reported. This test indicates the animal's capacity to lose heat. Forty animals, classified on their coat covering, were included in the experiments described. The differences in coat covering are described and associated with differences in rectal temperature under various forms of heat stress. The results serve to illustrate the basic weaknesses of any field test (or hot-room test) which cannot be carried out under conditions where major factors influencing the "adaptability" and type of coat can be kept uniform for all animals tested.

AbstractThe present study aimed to explore the modifications in diet during pregnancy over three generations in the Garhwal region of Uttarakhand. For the selection of the sample, the respondents were categorized in 3 age groups: 20 to 34 years; 35 to 55 years; and ≥ 56 years. Structured diet recall interviews were scheduled for the collection of data. The subjects were asked about their dietary habits during pregnancy and food items that they included and excluded during that period. Most food items mentioned included were milk, fruits, and nutritional supplements. The exclusion of fruits like banana and papaya, of rice, and of leafy green vegetables (LGVs) was mainly observed. Among the age group of ≥ 56 years, the respondents with no changes in their diet during pregnancy were more from rural areas (92%) than from urban areas (62.26%), while in the age group of 20 to 34 years, 25% of the respondents with no change in their diet lived in rural areas, and 8.06% lived in urban areas. There has been an increase in the population with dietary modifications through generations; however, the overall changes are still not satisfying. The present study shows that there is a high need for nutritional education during pregnancy, especially in rural areas.

Elderly patients, compared to young people, use a huge volume of drugs because they are exposed to a greater number of diseases and pathological conditions, denote significant organic changes and age-induced functional disorders. The elucidation of the peculiarities of the action and usage of medicinal substances by elderly and senile people is currently gaining in importance since the share of people from this age group increased considerably, they becoming longer-lived. The body reaction to the drug substances in this category of patients changes as a result of the physiological aging of the organs and tissues and the presence of various simultaneous diseases. With age, the frequency of adverse drug reactions increases if compared to that of middle-aged people. Also, the sensitivity to most drugs is more pronounced to elderly and senile persons, which is why their usage dose should be reduced, the range of more active and toxic preparations being considerably limited. All these create difficulties in treatment, because, in these patients, polypragmasia is found more frequently than in other age groups, where about half of the drugs are prescribed according to vital indications. For these reasons, when prescribing drugs and drawing up treatment plans, the doctor should take into account, in a fairly thorough way, all the information on the aging process, the patient’s condition and the nature of the conditions currently being treated.

Introduction: Copeptin is known to be associated with heart damage, while melatonin is a regulatory hormone associated with circadian rhythm and represents the levels of inflammation in the body. Methods and patients: The aim of the study was to measure in different surgeries the levels of copeptin and melatonin at different times before and after surgery in 56 patients aged from 5 days to 13.6 years. We measured copeptin in 50-microL serum and plasma samples from patients before surgery, immediately after surgery, and 24 hours after surgery. The measured levels are aligned with the published GC / MS data and the sensitivity of the analysis is such that serum and plasma levels can only be measured by rapid extraction. The measurement was made before surgery, immediately after surgery and 24 hours after surgery. Results: The multifactorial statistical analysis revealed a statistically significant difference between the 24-hour postoperative copeptin values in group 1 (mild-moderate gravity surgery) and group 2 (severe surgery) of the severity of the surgery. Post-hoc tests with Tukey correction for age groups in multiple comparisons of multifactorial analysis revealed a statistically significant difference (p <0.05) between 24-hour postoperative melatonin values in age group 3 (3-6 years) and 5 (6-12 years old). The age group 3 showed significantly (p <0.05) lower 24 hours postoperative melatonin values compared to the age group 5 (6-12 years). Again, these 3-6 year olds were more likely to have inflammation due to the severity of the surgery and the presence of inflammation after the surgery. Discussion: In summary, copeptin is a reliable biomarker for assessing a patient's health both preoperatively and postoperatively. Copeptin and melatonin are two independent agents and are not related to each other, and more studies will be needed with more patients of the same age and with the same underlying disease to assess their diagnostic value. Finally, melatonin could be considered an indicator of inflammation on its own and based on pre- and post-surgery values to assess a patient's health status and take appropriate actions.

Salmo Clarki

Cutthroat trout were collected periodically from April 3 to September 20, 1968, by electrofishing and were preserved in formalin. Within a few days, each fish was measured and a sample of scales was taken for study. Scales first appeared on these cutthroat trout immediately above and below the lateral line on the anterior portion of the caudal peduncle. Scales were always selected from this area for study, mounted in glycerin–gelatin, and examined at a magnification of 127 diameters. Scales grow relatively more slowly as the fish increases in length, causing the body–scale relation to be curvilinear. Growth of the fish was determined both by calculating size-at-age data from the scales and by comparing mean lengths of age-groups collected at different times of the year.The growth of cutthroat trout from Chef Creek was slow; calculated mean fork lengths for the first three annuli were 50, 84, and 119 mm. Only a few fish of age-group IV were collected and these were considered to be nonanadromous individuals on the basis of scale examination and small size.
