Chronic fluoride intoxication (fluorosis) in tribes and their domestic animals

Abstract: A chronic fluoride intoxication in the form of dental and skeletal fluorosis has been observed in tribal subjects and domestic animals (cattle and buffalo) of twelve villages; Badoda, Bhavanpura, Devala, Dhunda, Ghanta, Katisor, Khalil, Bhagela, Masona, Munged, Pindawal and Ramgarh of Dungarpur district of Rajasthan (India), where mean fluoride concentration in drinking water sources varied between 1.5 to 5.0 mg/L. The greatest prevalence of dental fluorosis in children and adult subjects was found at 3.5 and 3.7 mg/L fluoride concentration, whereas in calves and mature animals at 2.9 and 3.5 mg/L, respectively. The highest prevalence of skeletal fluorosis, 57.0% in tribes and 58.6% in animals, has been observed at 5.0 and 4.8 mg/L fluoride concentrations, respectively. Some observations pertaining to other deformities and radiological in fluorotic cases have also been focussed.

Surface wave propagation in a fluid-saturated incompressible porous medium

Abstract: A study of surface wave propagation in a fluid-saturated incompressible porous half-space lying under a uniform layer of liquid is presented. The dispersion relation connecting the phase velocity with wave number is derived. The variation of phase velocity and attenuation coefficients with wave number is presented graphically and discussed. As a particular case, the propagation of Rayleigh type surface waves at the free surface of an incompressible porous half-space is also deduced and discussed.

Distinctive Evidence Involved in the Role of Endocannabinoid Signalling in Parkinson's Disease: A Perspective on Associated Therapeutic Interventions.

Abstract: Current pharmacotherapy of Parkinson’s disease (PD) is symptomatic and palliative, with levodopa/carbidopa therapy remaining the prime treatment, and nevertheless, being unable to modulate the progression of the neurodegeneration. No available treatment for PD can enhance the patient’s life-quality by regressing this diseased state. Various studies have encouraged the enrichment of treatment possibilities by discovering the association of the effects of the endocannabinoid system (ECS) in PD. These reviews delineate the reported evidence from the literature on the neuromodulatory role of the endocannabinoid system and expression of cannabinoid receptors in symptomatology, cause, and treatment of PD progression, wherein cannabinoid (CB) signalling experiences alterations of biphasic pattern during PD progression. Published papers to date were searched via MEDLINE, PubMed, etc., using specific key words in the topic of our manuscript. Endocannabinoids regulate the basal ganglia neuronal circuit pathways, synaptic plasticity, and motor functions via communication with dopaminergic, glutamatergic, and GABAergic signalling systems bidirectionally in PD. Further, gripping preclinical and clinical studies demonstrate the context regarding the cannabinoid compounds, which is supported by various evidence (neuroprotection, suppression of excitotoxicity, oxidative stress, glial activation, and additional benefits) provided by cannabinoid-like compounds (much research addresses the direct regulation of cannabinoids with dopamine transmission and other signalling pathways in PD). More data related to endocannabinoids efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetic profiles need to be explored, providing better insights into their potential to ameliorate or even regress PD.

A Brief Review of the Recent Trends in Sign Language Recognition

Abstract: Sign language (SL) is an art of conveying our ideas and emotions non-verbally. SL is the main communication means for the deaf / dumb community. They usually communicate through a multitude of hand gestures. The correct interpretation of SL is all the more important, since the deaf and dumb constitute nearly 90 million of the world population. Therefore sign language recognition (SLR) and translation is a fertile area of research. The two main approaches for SLR are (i) image based and (ii) sensor based. Image based approach involves one or more cameras to capture an image sequence of the signer performing the sign, and then uses image processing to recognize the sign. The sensor based method uses instrumental gloves assembled with sensors to track the hand articulates. This paper mainly describes various image or vision based SLR systems comprising feature extraction and classification. Translation of SL to speech is also described briefly. Overall, this paper is expected to be a complete introduction to automatic hand gesture recognition and sign language interpretation (SLI).
