Abstract: The primary goal of this study is to determine how stakeholders (tourism intermediaries) feel about Haryana's destination branding and image building. Responses from tourist stakeholders were recorded using a self-structured questionnaire. This survey aimed to find out how tourism middlemen felt about promotional services. Respondents believe that tourist intermediaries are an excellent approach to promoting tourism, as seen below. Stakeholder (tourism intermediaries) perception is measured through media, the internet, websites, event information brochures, tourist information centres, tour operators/guides, historical melas/fairs/festivals, and cultural events. The most important part of tourism promotion is internet advertising. The eighth most important component of tourism promotion is media marketing. The Chi-square test found significant differences in perceptions of tourist promotional services among Stakeholders (tourism intermediaries).The findings also suggest that respondents believe tourism intermediaries benefit from tourism growth. The Chi-square test results reveal a wide range of opinions on the benefits of tourist development among stakeholders (tourism intermediaries). According to the study, tourism middlemen regard Haryana as a positive emblem. The Mahabharata Land is often regarded as the most successful symbol for branding Haryana. Land of Battles is Haryana's ninth most successful emblem for branding.

Abstract: Background: Infectious mediastinitis is a relatively uncommon but potentially devastating complication occurring after median sternotomy. In a survey of most recent studies, the incidence of deep sternal wound infection has plateaued at 0.4% to 4% several risk factors for developing infectious mediastinitis after cardiac operations have been categorized to preoperative during and postoperative factors. Methods:  This survey is performed prospectively in Tabriz Shahid Madani Hospital (center of cardiac surgery) between (October 2000- october2004) to detect of suppurative mediastinitis incidence and treatment modalities, outcome of patients and compare with another survey between 1996-2000in this center.  Results: Among 2844 case of open heart surgery, suppurative mediastinitis has been observed in 26 patients (0.9%) , among these 26 patients, the mean age was 60.15± 9 and the male / female ratio was 0.36. Among these 26 patients, 10 cases (38.5%) had diabet mellitus, 14 cases (53%) had hypertension, 7 cases (27%) had over weight, 10 cases (38.5%) had obesity, 11 cases (42%) were smoker, and 5 cases (19.24%) had history of myocardial infarction. Among all of etiologic agents responsible for suppurative mediastinitis, Staphylococcus aureus was in first rank and Pseudomonas aeruginosa was in second rank. Clinical findings in the time of mediastinitis diagnosis were consisting of: Fever, pus discharge, instability of sternum, local erythema and chest wall pain. Conclusion: incidence of suppurative mediastinitis after open heart surgery between October 2000 to October 2004, and gram negative bacilli as etiologic agent in comparison with 4 years ago in this center has increased.

Abstract

Meat is a good source of protein in the human diet, but it is very susceptible to microbial attack, resulting in foodborne illnesses in customers, resulting in financial and health costs. During the killing and shipping of meat, it becomes infected. Because of favorable conditions such as storage temperature, pH, texture, and content of meat, as well as raw meat transit methods, microorganisms grow prevalent. During the storage or preparation of meat, microbes change the structure of the protein and generate disagreeable odors. As a result of these developments, the consumer's perception and pleasure with meat quality have shifted. The deterioration of the meat mostly arises in fat-containing parts. Usually, environmental oxygen affects the unsaturated fatty acids and ultimately causes the oxidation and deterioration of meat. The factors which spoiled the meat quality are the high amount of oxygen, water holding capacity, natural pH, and lower connective tissue content. Chicken meat provides a lot of nutritional benefits features such as a high concentration of polyunsaturated fatty acids and low other lipid content. The majority of fresh poultry meat products are sold at refrigerated temperature at 2-5ºC. During refrigeration, there are two ways of meat spoilage oxidative rancidity and microbial growth. Spoilage of fresh poultry meat causes the economic loss to the produces and also cause the quality problem, shelf life, and safety. To remove bacteria and extending the shelf life of food products synthetic preservatives have been widely used all over the world. Although artificial preservatives may give rise to a health problem for consumers in a long-term period of usage. Synthetic antioxidants like butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) and butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) are popular for their capability to stop the free radical chain reaction of lipid peroxidation. Chicken sausage is a minced meat product that has seen a dramatic increase in consumption throughout the world. Sausage manufacture involves several handling steps which increase the chances of contamination by pathogens or spoilage. This review mask the effect of pathogenic bacteria in sausages by adding essential oils (clove and cinnamon oil).  These essential oils will act as antioxidant and antimicrobial agents on ready-to-eat chicken sausages. It is concluded from the present study that essential oils of clove and cinnamon are good as an antioxidant and antimicrobial on ready-to-eat chicken sausages in prolonging the shelf life of chicken sausages at room temperature as compared to control sample. By adding natural component rather than using the synthetic compounds.

Summary: - Brucellosis is considered to be one of the most widespread zoonoses in the world. According to OIE report, it is the second most important zoonotic disease in the world after rabies. The disease affects cattle, swine, sheep, goats, camels and dogs. It may also infect other ruminants and marine mammals. The disease is manifested by late term abortions; weak calves, still births; infertility and characteristic lesions are primarily placentitis, epididymitis and orchitis. The organism is excreted in uterine discharges and milk. The disease is economically important, and  one of the most devastating trans boundary animal diseases and also a major trade barrier. Although not yet reported, some species of Brucella (e.g., B. abortus) are zoonotic and could be used as bioweapons. Brucellosis has a considerable impact on animal and human health, as well as wide socio-economic impacts, especially in countries in which rural income relies largely on livestock breeding and dairy products. Considering the poor health infrastructure and manpower in rural areas, the focus should be on preventive measures coupled with strengthening the curative health care services for early diagnosis and treatment. The incidence of brucellosis is increasing particularly in large dairy herds in Pakistan. Several studies have been conducted using serodiagnostic techniques to determine the prevalence of brucellosis in different provinces, districts and livestock farms in government and private sector.

Summary:- Camels like other domestic animals suffer from heavy burdens of helminthes. When camels are kept in higher rainfall areas or intensively stabled, parasitic gastroenteritis may result. Nematodes are practically specific to the dromedary. Nematode disease of camel is mostly caused by Haemonchus longisipes, Nematodirus Mauritanicus, Nematodirus dromedarii and has more economic significance in camels. However, most of camel nematodes are also common to Sheep and Goats, like Trichostrongylus prololurus, Tichostronglus vitrinus, Ostertagia mongolica, Nematodirus spathiger, Oesophagostomum venulosum. Haemonchus longistipes is specific to camels and mostly found in: Africa Asia. Mostly its transmission of the disease occurs by direct contact or via fomites, such as blankets and baggage etc. The Diagnosis of the disease is made on the basis of clinical symptoms and by finding the different developmental stages ova or larvae nematodes. Antihelmintics used in cattle and sheep for the treatment of digestive tract helminthoses can also be used in camels.

Abstract: Annona muricata Linn (A. muricata) leaf has long history of folkloric use for the management of cancer, infections and arthritis. The hexane, ethyl acetate, methanol successive and straight run methanol extracts were screened against standard strains of Salmonella paratyphi (ATCC 9150), Candida albicans (ATCC 22015) and clinical isolates of Pseudomonas aeroginosa ATCC 27853, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis and Klebsiella pneumoniae from NIPRD clinic using agar dilution method. The ethyl acetate extract exhibited the strongest antimicrobial activity against Salmonella paratyphi (ATCC 9150), Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Candida albicans (ATCC 2876), Klebsiella pneumonia ATCC 13883 and Escherichia coli (clinical isolate) at 2000µg/ml, while the hexane, methanol successive and straight run methanol extracts showed no activity against all the test micro-organisms. Amoxicillin, which was used as standard, inhibited the growth of all the test micro-organisms at the same concentration. The ethyl acetate extract was subjected to gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) characterization to identify volatile bioactive compounds. The GC-MS analysis revealed 22 different volatile bioactive compounds including 2,8-dimethylundecane (8.79%), n-hexadecane (8.17%), phytol (8.11%), n-tetradecane (7.76%), 3,7-dimethyl-1,6-octadiene (7.59%), (Z,Z)-α-farnesene (6.98%),  1,11-dodecadiene (6.95%), palmitic acid (6.31%) and α-tridecene (5.05%). These compounds maybe responsible for the observed antimicrobial activities of the ethyl acetate extract.[Samuel Ehiabhi Okhale¹* and Chinyere Imoisi.

Abstract: Osteoporosis is a common problem in which the bones become weak and break easily. It is a silent disease that develops slowly over several years. The disease is often diagnosed at a slight fall, or a sudden impact that causes bone fracture as a result of the body losing essential materials that help in nourishing and building bones or lack of nutrients and vitamins the body needs. There are two types of osteoporosis, the first type: Includes osteoporosis in menopause due to Estrogen deficiency, and osteoporosis with aging due to age, the secondary type: Occurs as a result of a specific cause that can be identified, such as osteoporosis resulting from some disease conditions or the use of some drugs. Heparin is an anticoagulant drug by disables thrombin in the blood clotting process. It is widely used in treatments, although it has negative effects such as osteoporosis. Dandelion is a rich source of vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients necessary for the health of the body, as it contains a high percentage of calcium, in addition to antioxidants such as vitamin C and luteolin, and has a critical role in improving bone density, thus reducing the risk of osteoporosis, and helping to maintain bone health and protect it from osteoporosis. The present study was conducted to explore the potential protective effect of the natural plant dandelion in comparison with vitamins C and K on heparin-induced osteoporosis in rats. The study period was 30 days, this study included fifty female Wester albino rats that were divided into five groups: G1 ate their normal diet for 30 days, G2 was injected subcutaneously with heparin, G3 was fed orally with an extract of Dandelion concurrently with being injected with heparin, G4 was fed with vitamins C  and K concurrently with injected heparin and G5 was fed with dandelion extract and vitamins C and K in the same amount mentioned previously in conjunction with injected with heparin for 30 consecutive days, The results showed that rats treated with dandelion extract responded to the preventive treatment significantly and increased levels of bone minerals (calcium, magnesium, phosphate, vitamin D), also on genetic indicators GAPDH, SOST and OPG unlike rats that were injected only with heparin, the signs of bone resorption and bone formation were increased, but the rates approached in the groups treated with dandelion extract with the control group, which means that it is a protective factor. Also, vitamins C and K, have lesser protective effects but when added to dandelion extract give increased impact results. This study may be preventive against drug-related osteoporosis and preventive care for the general population that may reduce the cost of treating bone diseases.
