The Visual Infusion Phlebitis score is a standardised approach to monitoring peripheral IV catheter sites.
The fact that it encourages site observation means that it also has an impact on other peripheral IV catheter problems such as dislodgement, infiltration and infection.
The innovation of this tool is the recognition of the visual nature of peripheral IV problems and the subsequent benefits of a visual tool to identify these issues early.
As health care workers we have a duty of care to monitor the condition of a patients IV site.
Failure to monitor IV sites is seen as failure in duty of care.
The VIP score is internationally acknowledged as a proven standardised tool for the monitoring of peripheral IV catheter sites.

Informatics has been identified as one of the core competencies for nurses at all levels of practice. Nurses and computer documentation of patients with chronic kidney disease can significantly improve the quality of patient care and treatment. Healthy kidneys regulate the body’s levels of water and mineral and removes waste. I would find the most relevant information through searching the database on issues topicing or having a relationship with dialysis access. I would use search for words such as “dialysis access”, “problems with central venous catheters”, and “femoral venous access”. I would also trace illustrations in books and journals that touch on central venous catheters highlighting femoral access. The kidneys also secrete certain products that are important in metabolism. People with failed or damaged kidneys may have difficulty eliminating waste and unwanted water from the blood. (Fresenius, 2006). The cause might be a chronic, or long-term condition, or an acute problem, such as an injury or a short-term illness that affects the kidneys. Dialysis is an artificial way of carrying out this process. Dialysis substitutes the natural work of the kidneys. It is also known as renal replacement therapy (RRT).
Hemodialysis requires access to blood vessels capable of providing rapid extracorporeal blood flow. Immediate hemodialysis access should be straightforward, available for immediate use, and have minimal complications. That is where tunneled central venous catheters (CVCs) come in to play. I am aware of central venous catheters being used as a quicker method of access. During my research, said that femoral sites are associated with high risks of catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBIs). During hemodialysis, the access site is the patient’s lifeline (Fresenius, 2006). So why is the femoral vein a considered site for surgeons?
The use of invasive monitoring technologies and aggressive hemodynamic resuscitation protocols has increased. Therefore, the ability to gain rapid and accurate vascular access has become a skill that is imperative for critical and emergency care physicians to possess. The predictable anatomic locations of the dialysis central venous catheter are the internal jugular, subclavian, and femoral vein. In the last ten years, tunneled central venous catheters (CVCs) have been increasingly utilized in chronic hemodialysis patients, sometimes in the place of fistulas. They have gained popularity for their unquestioned advantages, such as the possibility for immediate use. However, several problems have emerged following their diffusion. Infections, thrombosis and dysfunctions are the most important catheter-related complications. Infections may occur with and without symptoms of systemic illness. Early diagnosis and appropriate antibiotic tre ...

The Comprehensive Review on Fat Soluble Vitaminsiosrphr_editor
This review article deals with brief description of fat soluble vitamins with figures and tables
showing statistical analytical data duly quoting the references wherever necessary. The word “soluble” actually
means “able to be dissolved.” Whether a vitamin is classified as 'fat-soluble' or 'water-soluble' has to do with
how the vitamin is absorbed, stored and removed from the body. Vitamins are tiny organic compounds with a
huge impact on the health and well-being of the body. The body needs a small amount of fat soluble vitamins in
order to stay in optimal health. Fat soluble vitamins play an important role in keeping the body healthy and
functioning from immune system and muscle and heart function, easy flow and clotting of blood as well as eye
health. They are critical to health and wellness–particularly reproductive health and wellness. Low-fat, no-fat
and vegan diets are woefully lacking in fat soluble vitamins. However a diet based on traditional foods can
naturally provide these vitamins. Science is still learning about many of the functions of vitamins. "Too much
vitamin A, D, or K can lead to increased levels that are unhealthy and can cause serious health consequences.
Diseased conditions leading to decreased fat absorption leads to decreased absorption of vitamins. The fatsoluble
vitamins work most safely and effectively when obtained them from natural foods within the context of a
diet rich in all their synergistic partners. If fat soluble vitamins are stored for lengthy time they generate threat
for toxicity than water soluble vitamins and such situation even aggravated, provided they are consumed in
excess. Vitamin products, above the legal limits are not considered food supplements and must be registered as
prescription or non-prescription (over-the-counter drugs) due to their potential side effects. Vitamin A and E
supplements do not provide health benefits for healthy individuals, instead they may enhance mortality, and it is
held proved that beta-carotene supplements can be harmful to smokers

FIBROLIPOMATOUS HAMARTOMA OF ULNAR NERVE: A RARE CASE REPORT.iosrphr_editor
Nervous fibrolipomatous hamartoma is said to be a rare tumor-like condition involving the peripheral
nerves,in which the epineurium and perineurium are enlarged and distorted by excess of fatty and fibrous tissue
s that infiltrate between and around nerve boundaries. The median nerve is more likely to develop a hamartoma
than other nerves with a predilection for the carpal tunnel.
A fibrolipomatous hamartoma – is a rare, benign, congenital lesion most commonly found in the median nerve,
usually at the level of the wrist or hand.
We report a case of this rare condition in ulnar nerve.
SELF MEDICATION PRACTICES FOR ORAL HEALTH PROBLEMS AMONG DENTAL PATIENTS IN B...iosrphr_editor
Introduction: Self‑ medication is commonly practiced all over the world. Self-medication is defined as the use
of medication by a patient on his own initiative or on the advice of a pharmacist or a lay person instead of
consulting a medical practitioner. The present study was aimed to estimate the prevalence of self-medication for
oral health problems among dental patients in Bengaluru city; to identify triggering factors that could influence
self-medication practices; to identify sources of medications used; to identify sources of information about
medications used; and to identify reasons for self-medication.Study Design: A Cross sectional Study.Methods:A
survey was conducted among 175 subjects among dental patients in Bengaluru city. Data were collected
through a specially designed proforma using a closed‑ ended, self‑ administered questionnaire containing 15
questions, in five sections.

Aim: To study the clinico-haematological profile malaria in a rural hospital of Tripura.
Material and methods: A cross-sectional hospital-based study was done from at Kulai District
Hospital,Tripura. This hospital based cross sectional study was done on 60 confirmed cases of falciparum
malaria (either by peripheral smear or rapid diagnostic test) admitted in Kulai District Hospital. A case sheet
proforma was prepared and data (demographic profile,clinical feature, investigation, treatment, and
complication) from all indoor patients was collected and analyzed.
Result: Out of 60 patients, 40(66.6%) were males and 20 (33.4%) were females. Most of the patients were
between the age group 21-40 years with the highest prevalence between the age group of 21-30. Fever was the
most common symptom. Anemia was present in 42(70%) patients, out of which 6(10%) patients had severe
anemia. Thrombocytopenia was present in 36(60%) patients.Abnormal liver function tests were observed in
26(43.3%) subjects while abnormal kidney function tests were observed in16(26.6%) patients. All the 60
patients received Artemisinin based antimalarial drugs.
Conclusion: Early detection, prompt management, and adequate supportive therapy may reduce mortality due
to falciparum cerebral malaria.
Indonesian Wild Ginger (Zingiber sp) Extract: Antibacterial Activity against ...iosrphr_editor
Lempuyang gajah (Zingiber zerumbet (L.) Smith), lempuyang pahit (Zingiber amaricans BL.), and
lempuyang wangi (Zingiber aromaticum Vahl.) are used as traditional medicine (jamu) in Indonesia. It is also
used for treatment of microbial infections, helps to increase appetite and stimulate digestion in chickens.
Information on their uses are available, but only limited in the scientific data on their bioactivity. The study was
conducted on the antibacterial effect of organic extracts of these plants with Mycoplasma gallisepticum as the
agent of chronic respiratory disease in chickens. Juice and extracts of fresh and dried rhizome are evaluated
through the disc diffusion assay and minimum inhibitory concentration. Oxytetracyclin (30 µg) are used as
standards. All extracts are individually exhibited as antibacterial activity against Mycoplasma gallisepticum (7
± 0.11 mm to 21 ± 0.86 mm). The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) determination of plants extracts are
ranged from 7.8 mg/ml to 31.2 mg/ml. The preliminary results suggested promising antibacterial properties of
wild ginger from Indonesia, and probably could be used in management of chronic respiratory disease in
chickens.
A case of allergy and food sensitivity: the nasunin, natural color of eggplantiosrphr_editor
Abstract: Allergies and food sensitivities can both be considered as "adverse reactions individualistic" to food.
Are pathological and individual forms because they affect a few individuals in way rather serious; immediate
or delayed reactions occur instead with simple effects histamine, or, in severe cases with respiratory and
anaphylactic shock
The eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) is known to cause food allergies in some Asian countries, but detailed
studies on allergies caused by eggplant are lacking, however, it was highlighted the presence of allergens in
edible parts of eggplant with preponderance in the peel .
The purpose of this study was to propose an extraction method rapid, efficient and cost of natural dye from
waste products from the food industry, such as the peels of eggplant, from which it was extracted, isolated and
purified the nasunin,a colored molecule in red-fuchsia.
Nasusin was tested on 58 patients to evaluate the potential sensitizing effect on the skin. The results demonstrate
that allergenic effects are negligible and therefore the nasunin can be used as a colorant in various industrial
sectors with a certain safety margin

Epidemiology of Tuberculosis (TB) in Albania 1998-2009iosrphr_editor
Abstract : In Albania, many people erroneously think that tuberculosis (TB) is a disease of the past-an illness
that no longer constitutes a public health threat. Surveillance is an integral part of tuberculosis (TB) control.
Albania has a highTB notification rate and there are doubts about underreporting. The evolution of the
incidence of tuberculosis is presented, together with more detailed figures over the period 1998-2009. These
figures were obtained by the monthly forms (called 14/Sh) compared with the individual notification data.
Objective: To examine the distribution and sources of increased tuberculosis (TB) morbidity and reporting
system deficiencies in the Albania from 1998 through 2009. Metodology: The study is descriptive one conductet
during the period 1998-2009. The statistical analysis is based on data reported from regional level (regional
epidemiological departments) to the central level (Public Health Institute). Results: The main findings were:
discordance between the collected data (individual form) and reported data (monthly form); tuberculosis
incidence rate shows little oscillations which ranges from 6.67 to 9.2 cases/100.000 population; 50% of the
regions show a lack of information on the confirmation of diagnosis and laboratory examination type used for
confirmation. Conclusion: TB disease in high-risk populations where it is difficult to detect, diagnose, and treat;
limitations of current control measures and the need for new tests and treatments, including an effective
vaccine; improving information system, regulation of individual form and personnel training.

A Review on Step-by-Step Analytical Method Validationiosrphr_editor
When analytical method is utilized to generate results about the characteristics of drug related samples it is essential that the results are trustworthy. They may be utilized as the basis for decisions relating to administering the drug to patients. Analytical method validation required during drug development and manufacturing and these analytical methods are fit for their intended purpose. To comply with the requirements of GMP pharmaceutical industries should have an overall validation policy which documents how validation will be performed. The purpose of this validation is to show that processes involved in the development and manufacture of drug, production and analytical testing can be performed in an effective and reproducible manner. This review article provides guidance on how to perform validation characteristics for the analytical method which are utilized in pharmaceutical analysis.
A Cross Sectional Study of Ethnic Differences in Occurrence and Severity of A...iosrphr_editor
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are the most widely used "over the counter" medication all over the world despite their complications in different major organs. Present studies envisaged for knowing the occurrence and severity of adverse drug reactions from NSAIDs in different ethnic communities of Sikkim. A cross sectional study was undertaken in the medicine outpatients department of a secondary and tertiary care hospital. The patients belonging to Nepalese, Bhutias, Lepchas ethnic communities and others community (settlers from other parts of India) were included to analyzed the data based on the age and gender, ethnicity and ADRs, drugs and ADRs. Severity assessment was done using Hartwing and Siegel scale and causality assessment by Naranjo scale. Total 109 cases of ADRs, predominating in female were detected. Nepalese were the most affected and Gastrointestinal tract (GIT) being the most affected organ in them. Diclofenac showed maximum number of ADRs in all the communities. Maximum number of cases occurred on single day use (40.36%) of drugs. All the cases were belonging to the "possible category" and the maximum being the mild (72.48%) in nature. It is advisable to consider the ethnic/racial differences equally with other factors, to improve the safety and efficacy of a drug.

RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.
The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes

I. INTRODUCTION:
Stopcocks in intravenous (IV) tubing are an integral part of delivering safe patient care in anesthesia,
critical care, and other areas of medicine.
They allow for the easy, rapid connection of syringes to deliver boluses of medication to patients.
They are also useful for connecting infusions of IV medications, such as inotropes, vasopressors and others. 1
At
the same time, when not being used, the stopcocks can be covered with sterile screw-on caps to reduce
contamination, and possible subsequent line sepsis. 2
Figure One. Set of Stopcocks.
In environments such as the cardiac anesthesia operating room, or the post-cardiac surgery critical care unit, it is
vitally important to ensure the uninterrupted flow of IV medications through stop-cocks. Any blockage or
interruption of flow can have catastrophic consequences in critically ill patients dependent on these medications.
It is common in these environments for patients to have multiple infusions being delivered simultaneously
through multiple stopcocks connected in serial. Most often, there is a basal infusion rate of "carrier" IV fluid
delivered to the proximal end of the serial stopcocks. This carrier fluid is important in acting to deliver constant
flow of medication to the patient, even if the infusion (for example Vasopressin) is running at a low rate. It is
common to use a 60 drop per milliliter to deliver the carrier IV fluid. This constant flow of carrier fluid is vitally
important in the unstable environment of the cardiac operating room where drips are frequently adjusted, rather
than left at an un-changed rate. In this setting, the flow of carrier fluid allows for more rapid results from
titration of drips, because it reduces the dead space dwell time between the point where the drug enters the drip
line and the distal point where the drug reaches the vascular system. If there is an interrupted carrier stream, the
dead space dwell time will increase, and the patient will “see” less drug delivered. Obviously, if the patient
requires vasopressors or inotropes, their blood pressure may fall.

Figure Two. Arrow shows Carrier IV Fluid line which ensures constant delivery to patient.
However, the often used means of connecting these stopcocks together in serial can also predispose to
interrupting the flow of these life-saving infusions. This commonly occurs via kinking of the IV tubing, thus
reducing flow. This reduction in the speed of the carrier drip reduces the rate of the inotropes or vasopressors
which are reaching the patient. This phenomenon is especially prone to occur if the carrier IV infusion is gravity
fed, rather than being delivered through an electric infusion pump. Kinking can happen more often the sicker the
patient is, as they are maintained on even a greater number of infusions. The more infusions, the greater the
weight of the multiple infusion tubings, contributing to kinking.
Figure Three. Example of kinked carrier IV line at arrow.
II. METHODS
We report an inexpensive solution to the problem of kinked IV tubing at the site of serial stopcocks.
By simply taping a three cc syringe to the IV carrier drip-line at the proximal end of the stopcocks, it prevents
the kinking of the carrier IV tubing, thus avoiding a change in the delivery rate to the patient.

III. DISCUSSION
This method ensures the un-interrupted delivery of both carrier IV fluid and the vasoactive medications
to the critically ill patient.
To be sure, there are commercially available 'stopcock holders' which aid in holding stop-cocks,
however, these are costly. They may not be available in environments with limited resources and supplies.
Further, they are best suited for use in stationary settings. The transport of such critically ill patients from the
cardiac surgical suite to the post-op ICU is prone to interruption of such IV infusions due to the constant
movement of the equipment during transport. Our simple and in-expensive method using readily available
equipment helps to prevent kinking.
