 Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought major challenges to health care systems and public health policies globally and it required novel treatment as well as prevention strategies. Individuals with addiction come under a high risk for infection. In various studies, it has been observed that alcohol and tobacco consumption increases the risk of acquiring infections. The magnitude of the problem of drug addiction is very high in the Indian population. Hence, it is a vulnerable population to acquire this infection. This study is to understand the influence of addiction and non-addiction on synthesis of IgG antibodies for SARS-CoV-2 among Malegaon urban area population. The researcher has analysed the research with Chi-square without Yates correction for learning statistical relevance Chi squared equals 16.362 with 1 degree of freedom and two-tailed P value is less than 0.0001 The association between rows (groups) and columns (outcomes) is considered to be extremely statistically significant

 Abstract

Respectful maternity care refers to the process of providing care of all women in a way that maintains her dignity, privacy, confidentiality, freedom from mistreatment, informed consent and continuous support during labour and childbirth. RMC not only ensures positive outcome during pregnancy but also promotes cognitive development of babies later in life. It helps reduce preventable maternal and newborn mortality, morbidity and stillbirths associated with care during delivery in labour room. The study aimed to assess the level of maternal satisfaction, to correlate the domains, and to associate the level of maternal satisfaction with their selected demographic and obstetric variables. Descriptive research design was used for the present study with a sample size was 50 postnatal mothers who were admitted in labour room at SMVMCH and was selected by using purposive sampling technique. Instrument was used to assess the level of maternal satisfaction by using semi-structured questionnaire adapted from Person-Centered Maternity Care Scale. The findings of the study revealed that Frequency and percentage wise distribution of level of maternal satisfaction among postnatal mothers on respectful maternity care shows that out of 50 postnatal mothers, majority 32 (64%) of them had satisfied level of maternal satisfaction, 12 (24%) of them had slightly satisfied level of satisfaction and 6 (12%) of them had dissatisfied level of maternal satisfaction and the mean and standard deviation were (21.26+5.886) respectively. A positive correlation exists between the domains of respectful maternity care such as dignity & respect, Communication and autonomy, supportive care, privacy & confidentiality, trust, facility & environment. The demographic variables such as age of participants and obstetric variables such as neonatal outcome and relationship of birth companion and status of episiotomy has shown statistically significant association between the level of maternal satisfaction among postnatal mothers on respectful maternity care. The researcher concluded that the level of maternal satisfaction on respectful maternity care among postnatal mothers is on rise because of staff nurses who treated them in a positive way.

 Abstract

Binge Eating Disorder (BED) is a prevalent and complex overeating condition characterized by excessive food consumption beyond one's control. This disorder has been exacerbated by the COVID-19 lockdown, affecting individuals of diverse ages and occupations. Shockingly, 97.5% of surveyed participants reported experiencing binge eating episodes, emphasizing its widespread impact. Emotional triggers, disordered eating patterns, and technology's influence were prominent factors contributing to BED. Lifestyle modifications are crucial for overcoming this disorder, including adopting a balanced diet, reducing processed foods, opting for healthy snacks, preserving nutrient content, staying hydrated, choosing healthy fats, regular exercise, avoiding meal skipping, regulating sleep, and establishing fixed meal times. Seeking professional support is also vital in the journey towards recovery. Understanding BED's prevalence, causes, and treatment options is essential for addressing this pressing issue.

 Abstract

Mouth dissolving tablets are a type of solid dosage form that contains medication that dissolves quickly when pressed on the tongue, usually in a couple of seconds. Due to its simplicity in administration, it is becoming more and more popular among patients who have swallowing issues, particularly children, the elderly, and those who have dysphagia. Objective of this study was to investigate how natural polymers such as Soy polysaccharide, Lepidium sativum mucilage and fenugreek gum could be used as superdisintegrants in mouth dissolving tablets that dissolve in the mouth. Aim of the study was to develop the mouth dissolving combination tablets of Montelukast Sodium and Levocetirizine Dihydrochloride using natural polymers such as Soy polysaccharide, Lepidium sativum mucilage and fenugreek gum as superdisintegrants, optimization and evaluation by comparing them to the formulation containing typical synthetic superdisintegrants Croscarmellose sodium. Mouth dissolving combination tablet was prepared by direct compression method. Blended powder and compressed tablets were subjected to different physicochemical characterization and result revealed that blended powder and tablets had admissible properties. Formulations F3, F5 & F9 containing 8% of Soy polysachharide, 5% of Lepidium sativum mucilage and 9% of fenugreek gum respectively was given promising outcomes and results were comparable with formulation containing synthetic superdisintegrant CCS. Thus, it can be said that the produced mouth dissolving tablets dissolve instantly without the need for water and exhibit rapid dissolution rate.

 Abstract

The objective of this research paper is to determine the impact of M & As on the financial health of banks in India. In order to create globally competitive banks, the Government of India has initiated the consolidation of smaller public sector banks in bigger entities. The research is based on the quarterly financial statements of certain banks that are scheduled to be released between 2019 and 2022. The CAMEL model is used for analysis, with ratings ranging from 1 to 5 depending on the results of the study. In order to derive conclusions from the data based on a comparison analysis, the t-test was used as an inferential statistic in this research. As the research showed, there is a notable performance gap between certain combined public sector banks and private banks, and the public sector is still unable to compete with the private sector even after the merging of public sector banks. To keep their investment in these institutions, different parties, including investors, banking sectors, government, workers, consumers, management, and society at large, would find this research useful and realistic.
