A descriptive study was conducted at Keerthi Maternity Hospital, Madurai to assess women’s awareness on danger signs of obstetric complications. The study subjects consisted of 60 pregnant women attending antenatal checkup. A structured interview schedule and a semi-structured questionnaire were used to collect the necessary data. The study revealed that most of the study subjects 60% were unaware of obstetric danger signs and 18% had good awareness about such signs, while 22% of the study subjects exhibited fair awareness. Lack of awareness about obstetric danger signs were related to younger age, low level of education, and lack of antenatal care. This study reflects the need for strategic plan to increase the awareness to shape health seeking behavior of the public related to signs of obstetric complications.

Research is a natural mechanism of human beings to answer against a problem. Framing and conducting a research work (project) is a challenging task for researcher (Principal investigator) in ancient time and even in today’s era. Review of past research is difficult if not available at a glance in soft copy as well as hard copy because reviewing of literature is initial step of research outlook (Hypothesis/synopsis). In advanced electronic era, many search engines (website/portal) are available with their limitations. The number of research works with integrative approaches were carried out in Shalya Tantra Department at Ayurveda Institute Rahuri. For the present study 45 post graduate thesis of Shalya Tantra Department were searched in the departmental and institutional central library since April 2017 and completed on Sept 2019. In the present article an attempt has been made to review and summarized post graduate thesis by expert faculty of the same subject. Summarization of each and every thesis carried out under the heading of aims and objectives, methodology, observation and results with inferences of the study. The present article is definitely helpful to the new researcher to decide extended of previous research study, to observe relevantness of study, to select the problems, to clarify of discrepancy during study and to refer as a pilot study.

The aim of the study was to find the frequency of anaemia in different stages of chronic renal failure, and to evaluate the therapeutic outcome. A cross sectional study was conducted in 118 CKD patients who underwent haemodialysis in a multi-specialty hospital for a period of 6 months from January to June 2018. All patient demographics, laboratory values, co- morbidities and treatment plan were collected and the data was compiled and was subjected to statistical analysis. Male patients (57.62%) were slightly more compared to female patients (42.37%) in developing kidney disorders and majority of the patients belonged to the age group of 60 to 70 years (46.60%). Majority were in stage V CKD (80.50%). Anaemia was present in all, 88 patients (74.57%) had haemoglobin between 7g/dl - 11g/dl. It was also observed that the prevalence of anaemia increased from stage 3(9.32%) to stage 5(80.50). Drugs used for management of anaemia were ESA, Iron Sucrose or their combination. Most of them had haemoglobin between 7-11 and maximum used dose in this group was between 6000U - 8000U. Prescribed doses of EPO were calculated based on body weight, prescribed EPO dose (29665U) was significantly less than the recommended dose (37771U) suggesting the treatment is not in accordance with the KDIGO guideline. Prevalence of anaemia in CKD increases from stage 3 to 5. Adherence to the guidelines will improve anaemia in HD individuals.
