Legibility and accuracy are the key features of every handwritten prescription. Large number of medication errors and even death of patients may occur due to illegible prescriptions. The present study was undertaken to assess the handwritten O.P.D. prescriptions of a tertiary care Medical College and Hospital in India, focusing the aspects of legibility and accuracy. For this study, scanned copies of 1268 O.P.D prescriptions were taken from hospital pharmacy over a period of 6 months (Feb 2015 to July 2015) and analyzed. Results were expressed in percentages. About 98% prescriptions scored 3 and 2% prescriptions scored 4.There was no prescription with miss-spelt drug names. Formulations and drug strengths were not mentioned in 11.1% and 7% of cases respectively. Abbreviations of names of medicines were written by 11% of prescribers. Seventy nine percent of prescribers preferred to use archaic terminology. Twenty percent of the prescribers did not put the leading zero where applicable and only 4% of the prescribers used capital letter. Generation of an error-free and legible prescription requires adequate care and attention about the multiple components which affect the legibility and accuracy of prescriptions. E-prescribing and computerized documentation may eliminate errors in prescribing.

World is facing a crisis in human health resources due to a critical shortage of health workers. Despite of many trained health care professionals our health care system is struggling to provide optimum services to the patients. Gaps still exist with respect to patient care, which are unevenly delivered. The data collected from 228 subjects reveals that only 7.01% of the subjects have received counseling always, 59.65% think that counseling should be given and only 41.66% are satisfied with current health care system while 56.57% are not satisfied. Our study shows that there is a huge burden on health care professionals due to a high number of the patient load which leads to the hindrance in optimum patient care and finally leads to the degradation in the quality of health care services. Now time has approached when the term task shifting should be taken seriously especially in the health care sectors. Pharmacists, an ignored profession in the health care sector have a crucial role for optimum patient care. It is the demand of the scenario that pharmacist should be taken as a key role player between the patient and prescriber. A proper communication between the patient and prescriber can be established only if all health care professionals will start working to assist each other not to compete with each other

Our Earth is becoming increasingly urbanized and the provision of urban service delivery cannot meet the
urgent needs of these rapidly growing new population. The consequence of this has led to urbanization of poverty, hence,
the study assessed urban service delivery and the priority needs of urban poor. The data used for the study were collected
through the administration of 850 copies of a well structured questionnaire. The Stratified Random Sampling technique
was used in the analyses. ANOVA statistical method was used to test the set hypothesis and it was revealed that there
were significant variations in service delivery and the priority needs of the people. For example, the following service
delivery were termed significant at 100%, 100%,95%, 98.5% and 100% levels for education, water supplies, roads
provision, electricity supplies and health facilities respectively. The study concludes that the provision of necessary
social infrastructure in the State should increase to meet with the high level of urbanization and that the provision should
be based on Community Driven Development approach since those who care most about reducing poverty are the poor
people themselves.

Education is a modern word, which is derived from the Latin word 'educase', means to nourish, to cause to grow. Education is the right of every human being regardless of gender, race or region. Female education plays an important role in the societal progress and improvement. Recruitment of more women teachers should be done who can serve as role models for girls and may make girls’ parents feel more comfortable. Providing girls with access to sport can also contribute to achieving gender parity in education. The schools should be protected so that parents will not hesitate to send their daughters to schools. Many girls drop out of school at the onset of menstruation, partly because there are no separate toilet facilities. Many girls are kept at home to help with domestic tasks. A tradition of early marriage, social norms and values undermine the importance of educating girls. Education of a girl is like educating a family while educating a boy is merely educating a person. The aim of this study was to review the literature on attitude of parents towards girl’s education.

A simple and rapid ultra-performance liquid chromatographic tandem mass spectrometric assay for the measurement of bisphenol-A (BPA) in human urine was developed and validated. Sample preparation involved addition of 4-nitrophenol (as an internal standard, IS) to 1.0 ml human urine sample containing BPA, and extraction with ethyl acetate and hexane (6:4,v:v), evaporation, and dissolving the residue in the mobile phase. Analytes separation was performed using a reversed phase Atlantis dC18 column (2.1x 100 mm, 3 µm) protected by guard pre-filter and a mobile phase that consisted of 5.0 mM ammonium acetate: acetonitrile (20:80, v:v) and was delivered at a flow rate of 0.30 ml/min. The analytes were quantified in negative ion mode, using electrospray ionization (ESI) set at transitions of mass to charge (m/z): 226.87 → 212.01 and 137.84 → 107.86 for BPA and IS, respectively. The relationship between BPA concentration and peak area ratio (BPA /IS) was linear in the range 0.2 - 20 ng/ml. Mean extraction recovery of BPA and the IS was ≥ 90% and 97%, respectively. The method was validated in respect to accuracy, precision, linearity, and specificity. Stability of BPA in urine was determined under conditions generally encountered in the clinical laboratories. The method was successfully applied to determine BPA level in urine samples obtained from healthy volunteers

From very old days to recent civilization, human species depends on most of the natural resources for smooth running of their life. In nature specifically plants has a key source of drugs and its remedies. Feronia Limonia belonging to family Rutaceae is well known in Indian traditional systems for its traditional uses. Various parts of the plant like leaves, fruits, roots, bark have an astringent, constipating, tonic for liver and lung, diuretic, carminative, and cardiotonic effect and these are traditional uses. Various chief phytoconstituents like alkaloids, phenolic compounds, triterpenoids, tannins, steroids etc. have been isolated from Feronia Limonia. But only few pharmacological activities like antimicrobial, antiviral, antitumour, antifungal etc. activities have been scientifically reported. From huge traditional uses documented in various traditional system of medicine and presence of vital phytoconstituents make Feronia Limonia an important plant to be studied scientifically to prove a variety of traditional uses. In present work we look at Feronia Limonia description, traditional medicinal uses, and phytoconstituents and anthelmintic activity of its leaves. Five concentrations (10, 25, 50, 75 and 100 mg/ml) of aqueous extract of leaves Feronia Limonia were studied for an anthelmintic activity on adult Indian earthworms Pheretima Posthuma in a bioassay, which involved the determination of time of paralysis and time of death of the worms using Piperazine citrate as reference standard. The results indicated that 100 mg/ml concentration of Feronia Limonia leaves was more significant than that of other concentration

Adverse drug reactions are an important cause of morbidity and mortality and are responsible for a significant number of hospital admissions ranging from 0.3% to 11%. The ADR reporting rate in India is below 1% compared to worldwide rate of 5%. One of the reasons for low reporting rate in India may be a lack of knowledge and sensitization towards pharmacovigilance and ADR among health care professionals. The aim of the study is to investigate the knowledge, attitudes and perception of health care professionals towards adverse drug reaction reporting. A cross sectional study was carried out using a pretested questionnaire for a period of 6 months among 340 healthcare professionals. The questionnaire was designed to assess the KAP regarding pharmacovigilance. The healthcare professionals (doctors, nurses, dentists and pharmacists), trainee and internship students working in the NMCH and RC, Raichur, Karnataka during the study period were included. About 300 questionnaires where returned which were adequately filled, of which 37% were doctors, 33% dentists, 17% nurses and 13% pharmacists. Mean knowledge score of doctors, dentist, nurses and pharmacists where 5.29±1.73, 4.9±1.13, 5.41±1.34 and 7.08±1.36 respectively. Mean attitude score of doctors, dentist, nurses, pharmacists were 4.87±1.29, 4.78±1.107, 4.53±1.24 and 5.84±1.02 Mean perception score of doctors, dentist, nurses and pharmacists were found to be 4.87±1.29, 4.78±1.107, 4.53±1.24 and 5.84±1.20. It was observed that most of the professionals were aware of ADR. They were having sound knowledge and positive attitude towards ADR reporting. But unfortunately the practice of ADR reporting where deficient among the health care professionals.
