Antioxidant and antibacterial response of hydroalcoholic extract of Plumeria alba leaves
Get PDFPlants are the natural treasure of antioxidants and antimicrobial agents. Present study was intended to evaluate the antioxidant and antimicrobial potential of Plumeria alba leaves hydroalcoholic extract (PALHE). Study involved the phytochemical screening, antioxidant, and antibacterial activity of PALHE. The PALHE was prepared using 95% ethanol as solvent through maceration method. The antioxidant activity involved determination of total phenolic content (TPC) and total flavonoid content (TFC). DPPH (1,1-Diphenyl2-picryl hydrazyl) radical scavenging assay was used for the determination of antioxidant activity of PALHE. The PALHE was investigated for its antibacterial activity against S. aureus and E. coli using well diffusion method. Various phytochemical screening tests were carried out and the results revealed the presence of carbohydrates, reducing sugar, mucilage, proteins, steroids, volatile oil, tannins, phenolic and flavonoids in the PALHE. Besides, moderate antioxidant activity was also revealed through the result of DPPH assay over the ethanolic leaves extract of the PALHE, where the IC50 was found to be 23.96 mcg/ml. Additionally, the TPC and TFC were found to be 71.04 mg (GAE/g of total phenol in terms of gallic acid equivalent) and 75.60 mg (RE/g of total flavonoid in terms of rutin equivalent) respectively. 
Minimal invasive dentistry: A review
Get PDFThe ideal definition of "Minimal Invasive (MI) Dentistry" is the use of a biological method rather than a typical (surgical) operational dentistry strategy to treat dental caries. When operational dentistry is necessary, it is now done in the most conservative way possible, with the least amount of tooth structure being harmed. This novel method of caries cares shifts the focus from detecting carious lesions as cavities (and a recurring cycle of restorations) to diagnosing the oral ecological imbalance and affecting biological changes in the biofilm. After stopping the disease process, MI aims to restore lost tooth structure and function, while optimizing the tooth's healing capacity. “Caries treatment has evolved from G.V. Black's extension for prevention to minimally intrusive owing to advancements in dental adhesives and restorative materials, increased knowledge of the caries process and remineralization, and changes in the incidence of caries. A decrease in cariogenic bacteria, new classifications of caries based on the location and size of lesion remineralization, and procedures and materials for minimally invasive cavity preparation are some of the topics covered in this book.

Acquition of ECG and Iris data for biometric authentication
Get PDFUse of Electrocardiographic signals is not new in the field of medical diagnosis to diagnose one’s heart health since long decades. But now the same signals can also be used in recognizing a person and thus as a biometric trait. Acquisition of such a vital signal can be done through wired and wireless contacts of electrodes. Several works are already being carried out in these fields. This is because of the universality, individuality, permanence, recordability of the signal from the subject. The data can be collected from the subject using single lead, three leads or even 12 leads. The ECG can be also be recorded through the subject’s fingertip using one lead ECG setup. However these signals will be vulnerable to numerous types of noises like base line wander, powerline interference, high frequency noise and low frequency noise. Thus it’s a challenging factor to design a biometric system by eradicating these noises. This paper presents a data acquisition system using ECG as well as IRIS where IRIS also provides unique information about individuals.
