Clinical research has confirmed the efficacy of several photochemicals in the modulation of oxidative stress associated with diabetes mellitus. In the present study, we have investigated the effect of Cassia auriculata L (CFEt), on antioxidants status in streptozotocin - nicotinamide induced diabetic rats.

Oxidative damage has been suggested to be a contributory factor in development and complication of diabetes. To investigate the effect of Cassia auriculata L (CFEt) on the occurrence of oxidative stress in the brain of rats during diabetes we investigated the extent of oxidative damage as well as the status of the antioxidant defense system. Oral administration of CFEt (0.45 g/kg) to diabetic rats for 45 days resulted in a significant reduction in blood glucose and significant increase in plasma insulin levels.

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a major nosocomial pathogen causing significant morbidity and mortality in healthcare organization and in community. The aim of the study was to find out the current prevalence of MRSA and to demonstrate antibiotic resistance pattern of MRSA and Methicillin- sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) among health care workers. Nasal swabs were collected from 300 healthcare workers (112 doctors and188 nurses). Identification of the isolate as Staphylococcus aureus was done using Gram stain, coagulase test and Catalase test.
