AbbasEnglish Ilham A. Al-SaediEnglish Maysaa S. Al-ShukriEnglishNeonatal septicemia remains one of the main causes of mortality and morbidity in neonates. Detection of neonatal sepsis quickly is critical as it is a life threatening condition. Molecular methods may offer advantages over conventional blood culture due to the rapidity and the small sample volume required for analysis. Molecular detection of bacterial sepsis was done by using specific primers (16 sRNA, rpoB and its). It was found that 16 sRNA genes were present in (20%) of samples and rpoB gene present in (18.8%). While its gene used for detection of fungi revealed a negative result in all samples.

It is estimated that 30% of all female infertility cases have 73% of suffering from PCOS. This study was aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the trial drug Sanga Thiravagam (ST). Sanga Thiravagam (ST) was evaluated for ovulation inducing activity using Letrozole induced PCOS rat models, administered at the dose level of 5ml/kg with water, single dose daily for 4 consecutive oestrus cycles. Experimental animals divided into 4 groups. Group I was treated as control. Group II was treated with CMC solution along with Letrozole. Group III was treated with standard drug clomiphene and the Group IV was treated with trial drug. The trial drug ST 5ml/kg was given orally to the PCOS induced rats for 28 days. The vaginal smear collected everyday to find the changes of oestrous cycle. The biomarkers of ovarian function, oestrogen, FSH, and LH were analyzed to determine the fluctuations in sex steroid levels. There was significant decrease in ovary and reproductive organ weight in treated groups. There was significant decrease in the levels of hormones LH, FSH and increase in Estrogen level.

NagariEnglish Laxman V. DasarEnglish Mallikarjun C. SalagarEnglish Santosh A.EnglishBackground: The objective of learning begins in childhood and the accuracy of a child’s vision can immensely affect or alter the learning capacity. School going years are crucial in a person’s life. Any problem in the vision during these formative years can hamper the intellectual development and performance of a person in future life. Aim: To assess the prevalence and pattern of ocular morbidity among school children in Bagalkot city and to recognize avoidable causes of ocular morbidity. Method: A cross-sectional study was undertaken in school children aged 6-16 years in Bagalkot city. Two schools were selected by simple random sampling and a total of 1010 students underwent complete ocular examination. Results: Prevalence of ocular morbidity was found to be 9%. Refractive error (6.73) was found to be the most common cause of ocular morbidity followed by allergic conjunctivitis (0.9%).Other morbid conditions were strabismus, external hordeolum and blepharitis. Conclusion: The prevalence of ocular morbidity in our study was 9%, uncorrected refractive errors (6.73%) being the most common, followed by allergic conjunctivitis (0.9%). There was no much difference in the prevalence of ocular morbidity between boys and girls. Higher prevalence was seen among high school students.
