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
This study examined self-medication practices for oral health problems among dental patients in Bangalore, India. The study found that 100% of the 175 dental patients surveyed practiced self-medication. Toothache was the most common triggering factor reported. Analgesics and herbal remedies were commonly used for self-treatment. Most participants consulted pharmacists for advice on self-medication and would see a dentist only if problems persisted after self-medicating. The high prevalence of self-medication indicates a need for education programs to increase awareness of risks.

The results suggest that extracts from these wild ginger plants
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.

ABSTRACT: An ethnomedicinal survey was carried out in Vizianagaram District, and Andhra Pradesh, India.
The indigenous knowledge of local traditional uses was collected through questionnaire and personal interviews
during field trips. The identification and nomenclature of the listed plants were based on The Flora of Andhra
Pradesh. A total of 43 plants species were identified by taxonomic description and locally by ethnomedicinal
knowledge of people existing in the region. Plant specimens collected, identified, preserved and mounted were
deposited in the department of botany, Andhra University, Visakhapatnam for future references.
KEY WORDS: Traditional phytotherapy, indigenous knowledge, Tribal people, Vizianagaram district, Andhra
Pradesh.
I. INTRODUCTION
From earliest times people have made use of plants for their basic needs, sustenance, medicare and
livelihood. Some plants used by tribal people are cultivated, while others grow in wild conditions. The tribals
depend predominantly on plants for food, clothing, housing, medicine, oil, agricultural implements, art & crafts
and a host of other requirements. They also have some superstitious beliefs on some plants which were found to
be tied/worn on the body parts to cure various ailments.
It is well known that during the process of evolution plants have synthesized compounds whose
structured diversity is often beyond the dreams of even the most imaginative organic chemists. Plants are still
the main source of medicines to majority of people. Reliance on traditional medicine is not only associated with
the traditional belief of its effectiveness but also on harmonious existence of spirit and matter. The efficacy of
herbal medicines is believed to be enhanced when they are prepared and administered by enchanting mantras
and incantations.
II. STUDY AREA
The Vizianagaram District Kotia Hills are disputed area between the governments of Andhra Pradesh
and Orissa regarding the ownership. The Kotia Hills lies between 18o 26’ 063” and 180
55’ 200” North latitudes
and 83o 10’ 426” and 83o 24’ 764” East longitudes, the elevation of above the mean sea level ranges from 850m
to 1615m. The Kotia Hills surrounded on the East by Srikakulam district, on the West and South by
Visakhapatnam district, on South East by Parvathipuram Revenue Division and North-West by Koraput district
of Orissa state. The tribal inhabitants of the study area mainly consist of Mannedora, Konda dora Jatapu and
Savara. The ethnomedicinal study was under taken with a view to find out the plants used by tribes of Kotia
Hills in selected 27 pockets particularly to cure various ailments.
III. MATERIAL AND METHODOLOGY
Field trips to the study area were made to collect information on Traditional phytotherapy practices by
the aboriginal and others through interviewing local chiefs, priests, vaidyas, herbal practitioners, elderly people
and educated youths. The methodology was adopted as described by Jain (1964, 1981, 1987, and 1999),
Chadwick and Marsh (1994), Hemadri (1994) and Martin (1995). Each medicinal practice was cross checked
with 3 or 4 informants. Ethnoveterinary data and the vernacular names were collected for documentation. Plants
specimens were collected and identified by referring to standard Flora, viz. Hooker (1872-1897), Gamble and
Fischer (1915), Pullaiah (1997) and few other local floras.

V. RESULT AND DISCUSSION
Ethno floristic exploration was made during the period 2011-2012 covering all the villages of
Vizianagaram District, All tribal Mandalam. The total number of species is segregated according to the family.
Thus the family-wise analysis of the ethnic species revealed that, 43 species belonging to 36 families. Among
them, Malvaceae, Caesalpiniaceae and Lamiaceae is in hierarchy with 3 species followed by Fabaceae,
Mimosaceae, Acanthaceae, Asclepiadaceae, Capparidaceae, Verbenaceae, Apocynaceae and Asteraceae with 2.
The drug yielding plants are statistically analysed based on their morphological habit and revealed that herbs
dominated with 17 species followed by trees 14, shrubs 9 and climbers 3 (Fig. 1).
Different parts or products of medicinal plants are employed for ethnomedicinal purposes like root,
root bark, tuber, stem, stem bark, tender branch, rhizome, leaf, flower, fruit, seed, whole plant and latex, gum in
different formulations like decoctions, infusion, extract, paste, powder, etc. are in practice. It is probably that the
whole herb/plant is thought worth more by the tribal medicine men than the sum total of its parts. Based on the
study the different plant parts that are used in crude drug preparation to cure 25 types of diseases. More
prevalent diseases are Dysentery, Mouth ulcers, Abortifacient, Asthma, Cough, Piles, Diarrhoea, Vomiting,
Snake bite, Diabetes, Jaundice, Wounds, Diuretic, Scorpion sting, Menorrhea, Earache, Burning sensation,
Leucoderma, Skin troubles, Boils, Fever, Insect repellent, Headache etc.,
Most of the time the drug is utilized in the fresh or dried state, the most frequently used traditional
medicine preparations are powders, concentrated extracts or pastes, juices, decoction and oil or fats. The
medicines are given orally or by external applications. The methods and period of administration may be widely
different. The dosage and duration of intake of these crude drugs may slightly vary from one healer to another.
Most popular method of application of plant material is the direct application. It may be either fresh or in dried
form. Fresh materials are usually taken orally or applied externally. Dried materials are powdered and taken
along with milk or water. It can be kept for future use also. Another most common practice is the medicated oils
especially for skin diseases. It is prepared by boiling the crushed or minced plant materials in oil until it loses
entire water content. Application of liquid preparations (decoctions) is also common. Decoctions are prepared
by boiling the powdered, crushed or minced plant material with water and removing the residue by filtration.

VI. CONCLUSION
The medico-botanical survey of the area revealed that the people of the area possessing good
knowledge of herbal drugs but as the people are in progressive exposure to modernization, their knowledge
traditional uses of plants may be lost in due course. So it is important to study and record the uses of plants by
different tribes and sub-tribes for futures study. Such studies may also provide some information to biochemists
and pharmacologists in screening of individual species and in rapid assessing of phyto-constituents for the
treatment of various diseases.
