ABSTRACT
Water is one of the main natural’s resources in the world and it’s very essential for all human livings not only for human, animals, and agricultural purpose and other activities. Kanchipuram district lies adjacent to Chennai in the state of Tamil Nadu in India. It is bounded in the west by Vellore District and Thiruvannamalai District, in the north by Thiruvallur District and Chennai District, in the south by Viluppuram District and in the east by the Bay of Bengal. Study area was generated all along the coast with a width 15 km. A total of 171 villages were within the total area of 1678 sq.km. A detailed investigation on ground water quality status for ground water sample (71 locations) along Kanchipuram Coast was taken up for pre and post monsoon data for the years 2011 - 2015 in ArcGIS software.  Ground water variables such as pH, EC, TDS, Total Hardness, NO3, SO4, Cl, F, CO3, HCO3, Na, Ca and Mg were analyzed for statistics in MS Excel for pre and post monsoon seasons. Graphs were plotted for each parameter across all years separately for pre and post monsoon to understand parameter variability between seasons and years. Spatially interpolation tool followed by kriging techniques exhibited spatial spared values based on environmental conditions of pre and post monsoon were analyzed graphically. Results of the analysis enumerated that post monsoon value or higher then pre monsoon value for the all the 13 variables. Critical variable such as chloride, floride, nitrate, sulphate, responses was higher in both pre and post monsoon values. Spatial map of these variables responded for higher concentration of the northern coast of the study area and lower concentration on the middle and southern part study area. Key words - pH, EC, TDS, Total Hardness, Remote sensing and GIS 

ABSTRACT
Plants are the life for the human beings on the earth. They play an important role in day to day life. As well as they are the producers of all ecosystems. Human uses of plants as medicine could be dated back to middle Paleolithic age, which is about 60000 years ago, according to fossil records (Fabricant and Frans worth 2001). A medicinal plant is a plant that has similar properties as conventional pharmaceutical drugs. Humans have used them throughout history to either cure or lessons symptoms from an illness. Knowledge on the medicinal plants, before the birth of writing, were transmitted orally. It is known that the first written text on the use of medicinal plants is about 4000 years old and appears in a clay small board in the Sumerian Culture, an antique groups of people who lived at the south of Euphrates and Tigris rivers. Health care in ancient time included the use of leaves flowers stems berries and roots of herbs for their therapeutic or medicinal value. These medicines initially took the form of crude drugs such as tinctures teas powders and other herbal formulation( Balick and Cox 1996,Samuelsson 2004).Knowledge of the specific plants to be used and the methods of application for particular aliments were passed down through oral history. Medicinal plants possess immunomodulatory and antioxidant properties leading to antibacterial activities .They are known to have versatile immunomodulatory activity by stimulating both non specific and specific immunity (Pandey and chowdhry, 2006) The use of plant extracts and phytochemicals both with known antimicrobial properties can be of significance in therapeutic treatments. In the last few years a number of studies have been used because of their antimicrobial traits which are due to compounds synthesized in the secondary metabolism of the plant ( Nascimento et al.,2000) More recently a drug β methoxypsoralen has been produced from the plant Ammimajus ( Bishops weeds) which was reported by Egyptian medical practitioners to treat vitiligo , a skin condition characterized by the loss of pigments. This drug is now used to treat psoriasis and other skin disorders, as well as T –cell lymphoma( Gurib -Fakim 2006).  

ABSTRACT
Pompe disease1 is a single disease continuum with variable rates of disease progression and different ages of onset. First symptoms can occur at any age from birth to late adulthood. Earlier onset compared to later onset is usually associated with more rapid progression and greater disease severity. At all ages, skeletal muscle weakness and wasting causing mobility problems, but also affecting respiratory function, characterizes the disease. The most severely affected infants usually present within the first 3 months after birth.  

ABSTRACT
Massage has been practice as a healing therapy. The study was conducted by adapting a randomized control trial research design. 60 autistic children who have fulfilled the inclusion criteria were selected using simple random sampling technique. In experimental group I, 15 minutes of massage therapy was given, similarly in  experimental group II 15 minutes of storytelling was done & pre and post assessment level of autistic behaviour was obtained for both the groups by using DR. Robert Gikohn autistic behaviour check list. Analysis revealed that the autistic children in the   experimental group I showed a significant decrease in the level of autistic behaviour at p< 0.00 level when compared to the experimental group II. Administration of massage therapy in the enhances the reduction of level of autistic behaviour.

ABSTRACT
The moment of birth is both joyous and beautiful. Birth is a unique dynamic process, foetal and maternal physiologies interact symbiotically. Every woman who became pregnant has to undergo the process of delivery. In normal process of delivery, the baby is delivered per vagina; an episiotomy is performed on vagina by health care provider or midwife. The present study was under taken to assess the effectiveness of medicated and non medicated sitz bath on episiotomy wound healing among postnatal mothers at  Govt. SMGS Maternity Hospital, Jammu (J&K).The sample consisted of 40 postnatal mothers (20 in experimental and 20 in control group). Purposive sampling technique was used to select the sample. Socio-demographic profile, obstetrical history variables tool and REEDA scale were used to collect the data from subjects. The results revealed that both medicated and non medicated sitz bath are equally effective in episiotomy wound healing among postnatal mothers. Thus, sitz bath either medicated or non medicated should be encouraged among postnatal mothers so as fasten the episiotomy wound healing and easy recovery of postnatal mothers

ABSTRACT
Lead has been recognized as one of the most serious environmental poisons amongst the toxic heavy metals and has recently been the focus of public health regulations in most of the developed world. Lead intoxications particularly nephrotoxicity, hepatotoxicity and neurotoxicity are now widely known. Health risks are increasingly associated with occupational exposures to lead and its derivatives. Occupational lead exposures occur during lead smelting processes, manufacture of batteries, painting, printing and pottery glazing. Exposure occurs mainly through the respiratory and gastrointestinal systems. The ingested or absorbed lead is conjugated in liver and passes to the kidney, where a small quantity is excreted in urine and rest accumulates primarily in soft tissues and bones. Lead is a divalent cation with a propensity to settle in the proximal tubule of nephron leading to hyperuricaemia and gout by inhibiting uric acid secretion and diminished glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Acute, high dose lead-induced impairment of proximal tubular function manifests in aminoaciduria, glycosuria and hyperphosphaturia (a Fanconi-like syndrome). These effects appear to be reversible, however, continued or repetitive exposures can cause a toxic stress on the kidney that, if unrelieved, may develop into chronic and often irreversible lead nephropathy (interstitial nephritis). Recent studies demonstrated that lead like other toxic metals (cadmium, mercury and arsenic) act as catalyst in the oxidative reactions of biological macromolecules, hence the toxicity associated with this metal might be due to oxidative tissue damage. Lead depletes cell’s major antioxidants, particularly thiol containing antioxidants and enzymes by generating reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as hydroxyl radicals (HO*), superoxide radicals (O2*-) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Enhanced generation of ROS can overwhelm cells intrinsic antioxidant defenses, results in “oxidative stress”. Cells under oxidative stress display various dysfunctions due to reaction of ROS to lipids, proteins and DNA. Therefore it is concluded that lead-induced oxidative stress in cells can be particularly responsible for its deleterious toxic effects. This article also discusses that supplementation of antioxidants along with a chelating agent prove to be better in earlier improvements. Therefore keeping in view current concerns and literature available we have selected lead for this article

ABSTRACT
During pregnancy, the physiological condition of woman gets more attention for food intake as well drug treatment. Maintaining a healthy balanced diet is important for optimal health throughout life. During childbearing age, good nutrition is important for preparing the body to fulfil the demands of pregnancy and nutrition to themselves. Macronutrient and micronutrient (e.g. vitamins, minerals) demand increases during this time. Emblica officinalis is a valuable medicinal plant used both as medicine and as a tonic to build up and restore health of individuals. The pharmacological importance of this plant is to remove liver toxins along with lower high blood cholesterol; in kidney disorder and diabetes it has been scientifically proven with the antioxidant properties. It has been reported that E. officinalis have immuno-modulatory, anti-inflammatory, antiulcer, hepatoprotective, antipyretic, antitusive and antimicrobial actions. It has anti-oxidant and memory enhancing property. During pregnancy morning sickness, anorexia, constipation, anaemia and pregnancy induced stress are common complains in day to day practice of Obstetricians. In Ayurvedic practices of obstetrics, Amalaki powder is advised safely after 3rd month of pregnancy to minimize such complains

ABSTRACT
Health care is important for our life, but the waste generated from various medical activities poses a severe problem to all living forms and to our environment as well. The large amount of infectious and hazardous waste generated in various health care hospitals and facilities are a matter of significant concern not only in India but also around the world. Biomedical waste management is one of the biggest challenges of the present day times since it has a direct impact on the health of the citizen of that city. The Present Study aims to provide information about the management, Segregation, & Storage of medical wastes in Public as well as Private Hospitals in Jammu Region. A  Simple random sampling technique have been used  to distribute a semi structured questionnaire among IV class workers at two hospitals in Jammu Region with 30 respondents from Govt. Hospital and 30 respondents from Private hospital. The results disclosed that, Bio Medical waste Management facilities are proper in the public hospital where as private hospital still suffer from inappropriate biomedical wastes management. This study mainly focused on   Training of the IV class, segregation and storage of Biomedical Waste Management.  

ABSTRACT
An emergency is an unplanned event that can cause deaths or significant injuries to employees, customers or the public; or that can shut down your business, disrupt operations, cause physical or environmental damage, or threaten the facility‘s financial standing or public image. Disaster management (or emergency management) is the discipline of dealing with and avoiding both natural and manmade disasters. It involves preparedness training by private citizens response and recovery in order to lessen the impact of disasters. A quantitativeQuasi-experimental research design was used. A total of 60 non medical students are selected by Non-probability purposive sampling and divide into experimental and control group .questionnaire was used for data collection and educational programme as an intervention in relation to assess the knowledge among non medical students. A highly significant difference was found between Pre-test and Post-test mean score on knowledge (p<0.05 at 5% level of significance). The study found that the educational programme was very effective and knowledge regarding disaster preparedness and mitigation has been gradually increased among non-medical students.  

ABSTRACT
:- Biomedical waste is a serious health hazards for health care providers, patients and public. Careless disposal of these waste can lead to environmental pollution and spread of serious disease, among health care providers, patients and general people. This paper presents an overview of the current awareness level of biomedical waste management among health care personnel in govt. District Hospital Udhampur, J&K. Data were collected via survey, interviews and on – site observations. The study showed that the hospital have a policy and plan in place for managing medical waste. Doctors were more aware about the hazards and legislation than the IV class employees and Nurses. But doctors were less aware about the waste management practices. Thus proper training should be provided to the doctors about the waste management practices , Nurses and IV class employees  should also be awared  about the Biomedical waste generation and legislation.
