Background: In 1912 Transplant pioneer Alexis Carrell received the Nobel Prize for his work in the field. The French surgeon had developed methods for connecting blood vessels and conducted successful kidney transplants on dogs. Ukrainian doctor Yu Yu Voronoy transplanted the first human kidney, using an organ from a deceased donor. The recipient died shortly thereafter as a result of rejection (Bilgel et al., 2006). In 1982 on December 2, Barney Clark received the first artificial heart; he survived for 112 days (Taimur Saleem et al., 2009). In 2010 Spanish doctors conducted the world’s first full face transplant on a man injured in a shooting accident. A number of partial face transplants had already taken place around the world (Bilgel et al., 2006). Objectives: To assess the knowledge among undergraduate students about organ donation, their attitude and commitment towards donation of organs and various factors affecting organ donation. Methodology: A cross sectional study was planned for undergraduate students of Santhiram Medical College, Nandyal, District Kurnool, by developing a three part questionnaire in April 2014. Study was conducted and subjected for statistical analysis. Observation and Results: Study participants have heard of donation and have some knowledge of organ donation, but none have donated. No statistical association was found between age, sex, year of study, religion, socio-economic status to donate organs. Print medias were main source of information. Family person was first concern for donation. Student were reluctant to donate smokers, alcoholics addicts etc. Conclusion: Organ donation and transplantation curriculum should be included in undergraduate syallabus, looking to great need of organ donation in future.

Background: Pain is an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience, which leads us to look for intervention strategies to control it and thus achieve greater well-being with the minimum of adverse effects. Objective: to determine the effectiveness of hypnotherapy as a coadjuvant treatment in the management of pain in post-operated patients of knee arthroscopy at the Naval Hospital of Specialties of Veracruz. Material and Method: Experimental, longitudinal, exploratory and descriptive study performed in post-operated patients of knee arthroscopy during the period from October 1, 2017 to February 28, 2018. The intensity of post-surgical pain was analyzed and compared using the evaluation scale of the pain (analog visual scale, EVA) in group A (hypnotherapy and analgesics) and control group B (only analgesics). Results: the overall score obtained during the intragroup analgesic comparison obtained an initial mean measurement of 6.6 pain points (EVA) in group "A", with a maximum score of 8.0 and a minimum score of 5.0, while in group "B" an average initial value of 6.4 was obtained, with a maximum score of 8.0 and a minimum score of 5.0. We obtained an average of 3.1, SD ± 1.0 against a mean of 4.2 SD ± 0.6 of group "B" with a statistically significant value (p <0.01). Conclusion: it is necessary to carry out research with a larger sample, for the establishment of the efficacy of hypnosis since it has no side effects, nor risks of adverse reactions, reducing the expense in medication associated with conventional medical treatments.

Introduction: Diabetes is a multifactorial disease that has become a pandemic, Secondary to the high incidence of obesity worldwide, being responsible for multiple complications in the health care around the world, Mexico contributes to de highest mortality from diabetes in the American continent and one of the highest rates mortality of the world by this condition. Only 16% of patients with diabetes are in goals. The World Health Organization believes that health education is essential in the treatment of diabetes and the only effective disease control and prevalence of its complications, a patient with diabetes who is not trained on his illness is a patient probably high risk, getting jointly an impact on the health and social cost of the disease. Objective: Determine the metabolic and educational impact on type 2 diabetes mellitus in the self-help group for Diabetic. Material and methods: Research article, observational, analytical; At the Naval Hospitalof Veracruz, Mexico, During the period of October 2017 to January 2018, Diagnosed with type 2 Diabetes as minimum 12 months prior to start of study, getting a population of 100 patients. Verified in the electronic file glycosylated hemoglobin/lipid profile at most of the last three months, adding body mass index, likewise, were applied questionnaire validated on knowledge of its disease, which consists of 24 reagents grouped in basic knowledge about the disease, control of the glycemic and prevention of complications DKQ24. Results: The level of knowledge measured in the Self-help group was good in 95% of the cases and external consultation only 52%, Patients who attended the emergency in the last 6 months were poorly aware of Diabetes 52%, patients with good level of knowledge of their disease does not used the service. Good level of knowledge is related to better control of Hb1Ac%. Conclusions: The self-help group increases the level of knowledge about your illness, without influencing the level socio-cultural, contributing a protective factor for acute complications and better metabolic control.

Background: Insects such as black soldier fly, Hermetia illucens are being considered as a new protein source for animal feed. Integrated development of innovative technologies for insect production using locally available agro-industrial wastes is necessary at present. Objective: To investigate the use of locally available agro-processing wastes namely palm kernel cake, maize bran, sorghum spent grain, soya bean waste and their combinations for maggots production. Method: Randomized complete blocs design with four repetitions was used. Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS Statistics 17.0 software. ANOVA was used to compare different parameters means and significant differences between the various treatments were set at P<0.05. Results: From 10 to 14 days after incubation, the percent length gained by the larvae varied from 15.34 % (palm kernel cake) to 35.2% (maize bran). There were significant differences in total weight and substrate productivity among the treatments. At 14 days after incubation, the average production of black soldier fly larvae from simple substrates varied from 152.25g (sorghum spent grain) to 446.87g (palm kernel cake). Conversion rate of the substrates to dry matter varied from 8.8% (sorghum spent grain) to 27.01% (soya beans waste). Conclusion: It can be concluded that soya bean waste, palm kernel cake and a mixture of the latter and maize bran could be the best substrates for producing H. illucens maggot for small scale producers.

The luminescence and temperature response characteristics of NaYF4 containing 15% NaYBF4 were investigated. NaYbF4@NaYF4 has good thermal stability and excellent response characteristics in the temperature in the range from 300 to 500 K, which significantly increases the upper limit of temperature detection of ytterbium temperature sensor. A self-calibration relationship between the reciprocal of temperature and the natural logarithm ratio of luminescent intensity has been discovered. Compared with the values of ln(I1048/I976) or ln (I947/I979) in Yb3+ emission spectra, the relationship between ln (I990/I967) and 1/T is not linear, but exponential attenuation relationship with better temperature resolution near 400 K. Oxygen has no influence on these relations because of the ordered and dense crystal structure, which leading to the separation of Yb3+ and oxygen.

Mangalore Special Economic Zone was established in February 2006, promoted by the Central and State Governments, financial institutions and private entrepreneurs. The MSEZ project has been proposed over a total area of 3,985 acres of land of Dakshina Kannada District, in Karnataka State. MSEZ Limited about 2207.23 acres of land was notified and acquired from the villages like Permude (780.18), Kalavaru (482.35), Thokooru (303.67), Bajpe (606.6), Kulayi (19.9), Sajjpa(1.03), Parambooru (3.47), Idya (.25), Narikombu (1.65), Kasab (4.29) and Sara (3.84). According to the field survey 63.9 percent of the responded they are not satisfaction with the MSEZ compensation because the compensation amount its less than the market value and they are not happy with the value of their houses. About 30.9 percent of the respondents they are not happy with the infrastructure facilities of rehabilitates areas because the infrastructure facilities are very poor condition and MSEZ failed to provide basic infrastructure for them. Still there is lack of infrastructure problems facing the rehabilitators such as drinking water, power, transportation , drainage, lack of quality road, no health facilities and education institution etc. The data reveals that 16.9 percent of the respondents got more than 50000 and within 1 lakh per annual. Out of the sample size 43.9 percent of the respondent’s annual income is above 1 lakh per year. Its clearly shows that Majority of the farmers standard of living not improver as much as possible due to so many litigation in the process of the MSEZ activities.
