Climate Change and Public Health in the Treatment of Fever in Adilabad Distri...iosrjce
Ancient man had found the ways and means of usage of plants to cure his health disorders. Plant
induced increases in allergic rhinitis like high fever the distinct seasonal sources of plant pollen, trees, grasses,
and ragweed. Quantity and seasonality of pollen depend in large part on plant responses to climatic and
meteorological variables. However, changes in such variables are likely as a result of anthropogenic influences
on levels of atmospheric CO2, and enhancement of the greenhouse effect, with subsequent impacts on plant
growth and pollen production. The knowledge of preparation of medicines of various parts such as root, tuber,
stem, bark, leaves, flower, fruit, seed, and whole plant, formed a parallel system of medicine the ethno medicine,
which exclusively uses the plants and herbal products for the treatment of diseases. Fever is one such common
disease characterized by an elevation of body temperature above the normal range of 36.5 – 37.5o C (98-

Ethnobotanical Importance of Some Highly Medicinal plants of District Muzaffa...IOSR Journals
An ethnobotanical exploration was carried out in Muzaffarabad and its adjoining areas including
Jhelum Valley of the District Muzaffarabad during 2010-2011. All the plants with the ethnobotanical
importance were identified and segregated separately. The region is entirely mountainous, having sub-tropical
to dry temperate climate with distinct seasonal variations. This study mainly focused on the information
regarding traditional uses of plants over the years by local inhabitants. The informations were then confirmed
by Hakims and the old people of the areas. During the survey informations were collected from various sites,
i.e. Noon Bagla, Rahim Kot, Danna Kachilee, Kot Terhala, Sanwarrian, Chikar, Chikothi, Kathiee, Qazi Nag,

Bani Hafiz, Domel, Hattian Dopatta, Khanssian, Nandi Ka Sar, Sing Paharee,Nari Bela, Khalla Butt and
Leepa. The plants were used medicinally and for other purposes. The investigations resulted that usually one
plant or a mixture of two or more plant is used. The unplanned exploitation had resulted in the loss of
medicinally important plant species. It was concluded that afforestation programme followed by proper
protection is need of time.

An ethnobotanical survey for the wild medicinal plants in the central high mountains extending from northern to central Jordan has been carried out. A special questionnaire is prepared to test for the medicinal uses of the local wild medicinal plants in the study area. The information such as the Arabic local name, parts used for medication, methods of preparation, purpose of use, doses and any other remarks, were all collected from direct contact visits to local people by the researchers of this study. The total numbers of recorded species in all the study sites are 108 species belonging to 33 families. The families Asteraceae and Lamiaceae have recorded the highest species of medicinal plants. A number of 25 plants species were found to be more frequently used by the local people in the studied areas, 38 species were found to be used more occasionally than the remaining 22 species. Visits for the available herbalist’s shops in the study area were made for all the sites of the study area. The age range of the questioned sample of the people who were interviewed was ranging between 40-65- years old. It is learned from the study that the use of wild medicinal plants is highly recommended and still practiced by the majority of local people in the study area. It has been observed that the study area is very rich in medicinal plants, where some species are becoming degraded and over cultivated. The knowledge of using wild herbs in traditional folk medicine is basically more common among the elderly rather than the young generation in most of the visited domestic areas. However, the use of medicinal plants by the locals are causing great declining of the diversity of many plant species growing in all sites visited by the authors.

village 20 People were selected randomly by lottery method for consultation. For more ethnobotanic
information some traditional healers were interviewed. Present study focused on local inhabitants who use
traditional resources for self-medication with particular reference to ethnopharmacological application of plant
species for diseases and natural cosmetics. The study was carried out by interviewing respondents in remote
sites (lack of health facilities, poverty and extensive use of medicinal plants). In total 100 informants were
interviewed on their management of diseases. The respondents were old age women (10%), men (60%) and
traditional healers (30%) themselves and had knowledge on the medicinal uses of the plants for the said
purpose. To collect data systematically on disease management questionnaires and discussions were applied. A
total of 100 plants have been reported to use traditionally to cure different ailments in district Layyah, Punjab
during survey. About 13 plant species were reported for their use to cure pains in different body ailments.
Among these Eugenia aromatica, Terminalia chebula, Mentha microphylla, Accassia Arabica, Eucalyptus
camaldulences, Foeniculum vulgare, Coriandrum sativum, Coriandrum sativum, Accasia nilotica, Brassica
compestris, Aloe vera, Allium sativum and Zingiber officinale constituted the major medications. About 3
plantspecies had been revealed as cure in fever. Melia azedarach Ocimum sanctum, Peucedanum graveolens.
Miscellaneous uses of plants consisted of for treatment of wounds, flue and catarrh, hypertension, piles, general
debility, cough, fever, Diabetes, Haemorrhoid problems and Spermatorrhoea like problems etc. Some of the
reported species are wild and rare, this demands an urgent attention to conserve such vital resources so as to
optimize their use in the primary health care system.

Studies in Ethnobotany Focus on Traditional Plant Applications and Indigenous...AI Publications
Ethnobotany is a subfield of botany that studies the relationships between traditional societies and the plants in their environments. In its widest sense, ethnobotany is the study of how plants have shaped the worldviews and historical narratives of indigenous peoples, as well as how these people evaluate the efficacy of modern scientific knowledge. Ethnobotanical research may provide light on the complex relationships between plants and indigenous peoples, both in the past and the present. While modern society may look down on our ancestors as primitive and barbaric, they really helped us advance by teaching us how to utilize plants for food, medicine, chemicals, colors, wood products, textiles, and so on. As this study progressed, it became abundantly evident that the vast body of past studies on rural and tribal medicines in North Eastern India had just scratched the surface. There is still plenty to do and write down before it's all gone forever. Interviews and on-location observations were used extensively in this study's investigation. The information on medicinal plants and interview notes were written down in field notebooks. Traditional plant knowledge and the usage of curative wild herbs by the Marakwet people were the focus of a study. As a result of interviews with traditional healers and community people, a list of the plants' traditional names was developed. As much as sixty percent of plant names are same, it is clear that traditional names for medicinal plants are vanishing. Nearly all locals (94.8 percent) knew which traditional medicinal herbs were best for treating stomach problems, followed by diarrhea (70.7 percent), chest discomfort (65.5 percent), and typhoid (63.3 percent). Locals have a low knowledge index (23.6%) of curative plants, according to traditional healers.

Ethno pharmacological relevance Ethno medicinal traditional knowledge regarding the uses of indigenous medicinal plants for treating various human infectious diseases is totally in hold of the elder community members. The young generation is not much aware about such vital traditional medicinal practices. Aim of study To document, accumulate and widely disseminate the massive indigenous knowledge of century's practiced therapeutic uses of medicinal plants by the local people living in this area. Materials and methods A total of 134 local inhabitants (78 male and 56 female) were interviewed through questionnaire method. The data obtained were quantitatively analyzed through the use value, fidelity level index and relative frequency citation. Plants specimen were preserved and mounted on herbarium sheets and labeled, cataloged and deposited with voucher numbers in Hazara University Herbarium, Mansehra, Pakistan (HUP). Results 74 plant species belonging to 70 genera and 42 families were documented in the current study. These medicinal plant species are used commonly as an ethno medicine against 56 various diseases such as digestive disorder, cough, pain and skin diseases etc. Herbaceous plant species were the dominant among plants studied which were 57% of the total plants, followed by shrubs (23%) and trees (20%). Asteraceae was the leading family among collected medicinal plant species (10.81%). Maximum medicinal plant species were used for treatment of digestive disorders (9.09%) and cough (7.44%). Most widely part used is leaf (27.9%), followed by fruit (13.5%) and seed (13.5%) for the treatment of different ailments by the traditional healers. The medicinal plant species with greater use values were Berberis lycium (0.91) and Cannabis sativa (0.81). The medicinal plant species with maximum fidelity level were Ziziphus jujuba (100%) and Lonicera caprifolium (92.31%) whereas the medicinal with most relative frequency citation were B. lycium (0.313), Ziziphus nummularia (0.276). The comparative result reveals that 36% of medicinal plant species were reported for the first time from Abbottabad regarding their uses, whereas 26% of plant species were reported with different medicinal uses. Brugmansia suaveolens and Allium griffithianum were recorded for the first time from Pakistan as well as from other countries across the globe for currently reported medicinal uses. Conclusion The current study revealed the importance to document and launch list of all possible plants that are used in ethno medicinal practices in the study area. Future antimicrobial, antivirals, and pharmacological studies are required to ratify the efficacy and safety of the medicinal plants species.

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

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.

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.

I. INTRODUCTION
Sangola taluka comes under the Western part of the zone belongs to Solapur district , Maharashtra .
Classifying as drought prone areas , shallow and poor type of soil , not retentive of moisture marks this part ,
along with the scanty and uncertain rainfall , due to scanty and non uniform rains scarcity condition prevail in
the talukas . Generally monsoon period is from the second fortnight to June to the end of September bringing
rains from South-West monsoon.
Even in the scarcity of water, we selected this region for the study of medicinal plants . Sangola taluka
has number of rural areas which are very rich in flora and has geographical distribution . We visited different
locality’s in the month of June to September ( 2011 ) , collected number of samples of leaves , stem , bark ,
wood , of angiospermic medicinal plants. All these collection was from some rural areas of said area .
In all things there is a poison and there is nothing without a poison. It depends on only upon the dose
weather a poison is a poison or not. Medicinal plants have played an essential role in the development of human
culture. Many of the modern medicines are produced indirectly from medicinal plants. Plants are directly used
as medicines by a majority of cultures around the world. Many food crops have medicinal effects. Medicinal
plants are resources of new drugs. Studying medicinal plants helps to understand plant toxicity and protect
human and animal from natural poisons. Cultivation and preservation of medicinal plants protect biological
diversity.
Plants have always been the main forms of medicine in India and now they are becoming popular
throughout the world. People in Europe, America, Australia, Middle East and many other countries outside India
are consulting trained herbal professionals and have started using plant medicines. It is estimated that about
70,000 plant species, from algae and angiosperms, have been used medical purposes, because they possess some
property or substance, which is medicinally useful. All these plants, commonly known as herbs provide starting
material for the isolation or synthesis of conventional drugs.
In the development of modern medicines, biologically active compounds from higher plants have
played a very important role in providing essential raw materials. In the beginning of 20 th centuary due to the
discovery of antibiotics and synthetics medicines, the use of plant medicines declined considerably in many
economically developed nations. But because of harmful side effects of synthetic drugs, again about 70 to 80 per
cent of the population in the world, started using plant medicine. About 130 drugs, all single chemical entities,
originally extracted from higher plants are in current use in modern medicines.
The ‘herbal drugs’ or ‘phytomedicine’ are generally single plant extracts and they differ from pure
synthetic chemical medicine call ‘molecular drugs’. The herbal drugs are mainly used in the form of indigenous
ayurvedic medicine, while purely chemical molecular drugs and synthetic drugs prepared after knowing the
basic structure of herbal drug are used in the form of allopathic medicines. Indigenous or traditional knowledge
refers to the long standing traditions and practices of certain regional, indigenous or local communities.
Indigenous knowledge also encompasses the wisdom, knowledge and teaching of these communities. In many

cases indigenous knowledge has been orally passed for generations from person to person. Some forms of
traditional knowledge are expressed through stories, legends, folklore, rituals, songs, and even through the laws
that shape that land (Acharya and Shrivastava, 2008).
All medicinal plants have curative properties due to presence of various complex chemical substances
of different compositions. Most of these compounds are synthesized in plants, as secondary metabolites. They
are active ingredients and the main effective compounds in all medicinal plants. These active ingredients are
chief constituents of the plants durgs, used in the form of ayurvedic and allopathic medicines. The plants drugs
or herbal medicines offer conventional treatments, providing safe, well tolerated remedies for chronic illness.
These medicines have the ability to affect the human body systems. These effects are dependent on the
chemical constituent’s presents in the plants.
In the present work an attempt is made to present some interesting ethno medicinal observations
recorded in Sangola division, Solapur district, Maharashtra, India. While carrying out the field work, help was
taken from the traditional healers in the plants of medicinal values and information, as they are familiar with the
plants around them. The findings of this study can provide useful leads for pharmacological conformation of
these reported uses which might in time become useful for mankind.

were used. The study is based on the data collected on common plants of medicinal values in Sangola taluka,
district Solapur, Maharashtra, India. The servey was conducted in selected region and the study was carried out
with elder people of both men and women, chief of villege, vaidyas, herbal knowledgeable, and headmans. The
methodology was adapted as described by Chadwick, Marsh and S. K. Jain. Structured questionaries,
interviews, and partionaries observation were used to illustrate information from the resource person using the
standard method. Also smpling method can be applied for detailed interviews were conducted with herbal
specialist in the rural areas. At the time of study rural people shared his valuable information about the
medicinal plants. All the data were collected in field on the basis of interviews with the traditional practitioners,
men utilized of various medicinal plants in curing various ailments and were also taken more knowledgeable
person for study of plants. Overall documentation the treatment pattern of various species were checked and
confirmed . The specimens were collect and observe in their natural habitat and identified. Detail information
was collected on the basis of health profile, social, economic and cultural aspects. Generally for the extraction of
chemical constituent there are four methods are used. To extract chemical constituent from different organs and
the tissue of medicinal plants these method are such as distillation, enfleurage & maceration, solvent extraction
and expression.
Servey, collection of data and observation like this method are used to study of medicinal plants in
rural area of sangola taluka. Out of the collection and servey made some of the specimens frequently occur
that’s named as Azadirachta indica Juss., Aloe vera Mills., Catheranthes roseus Don. and less number of
species like Emblica officinales Gaertn., Casia fistula Linn. is observed. When servey of whole taluka is made
there is found numbers of species of medicinal plants in different locality of the taluka which come under wild
