 Abstract

"Phyto" implies plant while "some" means cell-like. Phytosomes are greater absorbed and improve bioavailability of bio ingredients Phytosomes presented good pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamics feedback than standard natural extracts. Many types of products available in the market in which contain Ginkgo biloba, Silybum marianum, and Camellia sinensis. The property of Phytosomes generally depends on the method of formulation and drug polymer complex formation. The phytoconstituents of various plants which provide the hepatoprotective property i.e Ginkgo biloba, Mangiferin, Andrographis paniculata Linn, were extracted and formulated as phytosome drug delivery system. Phytosome represents the antioxidant property, hepatoprotective activity, and it is used for the wound healing.

 Abstract

Cermet restorations were considered as the most accepted standard for reliable implant materials. Increasing demand for aesthetic appearance supported the commercialization of fairly new metal free restorations. Demand of zirconia prostheses have increased in near future. Zirconia ceramic restoration has a higher fracture occurrence rate than their counter metal ceramic restoration. Surface treatment methods are implemented to improve fracture performance of ZCR. This generate residual stresses on veneering ceramic causing crack initiation and ending with a fracture. In order to overcome the stress in the material zirconia surface coating is used as a surface treatment for increased fracture resistance and to accommodate stresses along the ZCR layers. The cost of replacing the implant is high. Therefore, an attempt is made in this paper to experimentally analyze the feasibility of various surface restoration methods.

 Abstract

Male breast cancer (MBC) is an infrequent and uncommon condition. It accounts 1% than other cancer diagnosed in men. The rationale for low incidence among men is due to difference in hormonal environment and relatively poor breast tissue count in men. The disease is also diagnosed at later stages because of lack of awareness. In Asia most of the males hide about this disease due to social psychology. There is limited literature and published data on MBC due to low incidence of disease. This review deals with etiology, pathology, risk factors, treatment and psychological trauma in MBC patients. While in both genders breast carcinomas share similar features, significant variations exist. Most studies are very limited on the men with breast cancer. Therefore, most evidence on male breast cancer is extracted from female research. However, we will learn more about them when a lot of these little studies on male breast cancer are put together. This review stresses on the occurrence, etiology, clinical characteristics, diagnosis, treatment, pathology, survival and MBC-related prognostic factors.

 Abstract

Foreign exchange reserves are the surplus of freely convertible foreign currency (generally denominated in USD, but can also be denominated in Pounds, Euros, etc.,) maintained by any country�s central bank. Foreign exchange reserves are maintained as a means to regulate the economy by controlling the level of such reserves and also acting as a source of buffer or backing of country�s funds in case of an economic crisis or currency rate fluctuation. This study aims at analysing the impact of the accumulation of foreign exchange reserves on the economy of India. The authors have utilized secondary data for the purpose of this research paper. The geographic limitation of this study is India. Some of the factors which influence the accumulation of foreign reserve holdings are the need for foreign direct investments (FDIs), liquidity andsecurity during an economic crisis.India has witnessed a huge leap in the foreign exchange reserves when compared to 1960. This has enabled India to be the fifth largest foreign reserve holding country in the world. The United States being the global economic leader is in the 20th position. This implies that the amount of foreign reserve holdings held by a country does not determine its economic stability, whereas it depends on the nation�s demands.

 Abstract

It is difficult to imagine that there was a period in orthodontics before the invention of brackets. Brackets had a modest beginning in the form of the Ribbon Arch bracket designed by Angle. The introduction of brackets saw a new era in orthodontics. With time both the Orthodontist and the manufacturers started shouldering the responsibilities for arriving at new bracket designs and different bracket system. The wave of design changes continued to mount with contributions from Angle, Steiner, Holdaway, Jaraback, Fizzell, Ricketts, tweed and many others, which led to the introduction of the standard Edge-wise bracket which was also called as the Siamese or twin bracket. Dr. Ronald H Roth developed an appliance through clinical trial and error, starting with the standard Andrew Brackets and then altering the values and placement of some Anterior brackets. However, the process of the modifying the brackets is still on. Though, we all are using recent brackets which are currently available in the markets, it is important to know the past history of brackets which was used earlier. Thus, this article reviews the history of various orthodontic brackets and its advantages and disadvantages. We suggest that many more review studies should come aiming at the bio compatibility, aesthetics and treatment results of each bracket. Such studies will help the practitioner to decide the bracket selection for his treatment plan.

ABSTRACT: Customer satisfaction measures how a customer feels about a brand interaction. It�s a measurement use to quantify the degree to which a customer is satisfied with a product, service, or experience. Service is an activity that creates value and provides benefits for customers at specific time. Service quality seems to be a moral string for every organization. In today�s competitive scenario, service quality, customer satisfaction and loyalty are becoming principal challenges for banking sector. This paper attempts to make a comparative analysis of level of customer satisfaction towards the services provided by public sector banks (Andhra bank and SBI) and private sector banks (HDFC bank and ICICI bank). The study has been conducted in Hyderabad city based on questionnaire method and a sample of 120 customers of each 30 customers of respective banks has been selected using convenient sampling method. The SERVQUAL model analysis is conducted with its all five service dimensions and Gap analysis. SERVQUAL Model is chosen in our study to assess the service quality and customer satisfaction. Servqual can be used to measure service quality in variety of service settings and can be used to compare with the competitors. This model of service quality identifies the reasons for any gaps between customer expectations and perceptions. The banks are chosen to identify the service quality gaps and customer perception and satisfaction in which SERVQUAL model will fit to do the better gap analysis and to identify the factors for poor quality service.

 Abstract

Athangudi Village, in the Shivagagai district of Chettinad, is home to various crafts from the region that ranges from culinary expertise to exquisite craftsmanship in architectural marvels. A very important contribution to the Chettinad grandeur is the art of developing and sustaining a tile pattern that is unique to this region of India, now known as Athangudi tiles - an art form that is almost 150 years old. A 150-year-old craft that has been revived as a unique art-deco tile pattern technique from India. While it was earlier regarded as a hallmark of quality, today it is also a mark of sustainable design, for longer the life of the initial investment of efforts, energy, and resources, the more eco-friendly is the material. The Athangudi tiles are completely hand-made using local and eco-friendly materials from the region. Deft hands of the craftsmen use cement, sand, jelly, and water to make the dough. The tiles made are very distinctive and have glossy finishing. Tiles have traditional as well as modern motifs. These handmade tiles are very beautiful and unique in their style and are painted using vivid colors. Now with new design intervention by architects and interior designers in the reuse of period style home decor architecture techniques/style, these tiles have been given a fresh lease of life in the world of architecture. Instead of common usage, these tiles can be utilized peculiarly by constructing modifiable wall partitions. The tiles are placed in pre-cast frames made of wooden or other sustainable materials. The main motive behind this idea is to redefine the classic utilization of tiles and to give production opportunities to - a skill that is so unique which has been declining its popularity in the market over a period.
