Dried extract of C Indica in doses of 500 mgm/kg body weight were administered orally to 30 diabetic patients for six weeks. Blood samples were collected 15 minutes after administration of 10 IU heparin for estimation of LPL, before and after treatment with C. Indica Non heparinised samples were utilized for estimation for G-6-p (ase), LDH and blood sugar. Severity of disease were assessed by the findings of blood sugar level. Mild diabetes had no effect on LPL, LDH and G-6-P (ase). But, reduced activity of enzyme LPL and raised level of G-6-P (ase) and LDH in plasma of severe diabetics were found to be highly significant (p < 0.001). The alteration in these parameters in untreated diabetics were restored after treatment with C. indica Hence, it can be postulated that the ingredients present in the extract of C. indica, act like insulin, correcting the elevated enzymes G-6-p (ase), LDH in glycolytic pathway and restore the LPL activity in lypolytic pathway with the control of hyperglycemia in diabetes.

The present hospital based, group matched case control study was carried out at Gynecology Clinic, Govt. Medical College hospital, Nagpur, to investigate role of parity in the outcome of cancer cervix. The study included 230 cases of cancer cervix and equal number of controls, matched for age. The study identified significance of multiparity, as a risk factor for cancer cervix. Estimates of attributable risk proportion (ARP) and population attributable risk proportion (PARP) endorsed etiological and preventable role of multiparity in the outcome of cervical cancer, respectively.

A KAP study was done in the area of Disaster Management in urban slums of Pune City. The Youth Organisations' members and the members of Mahila Mandals were the study subjects. It was found that there was marked improvement in the knowledge and attitudes of these subjects towards disasters. It is recommended that members of Mahila Mandals and members of Youth Organisations can act as 'frontline workers' in the situations of disasters after imparting some training in disaster management.
