MALARIA: AN OVERVIEW WITH HERBAL TREATMENT
The success of the antimalarial drug quinine and the discovery of artemisinin, the most potent antimalarial drug, both from plant sources, has led to the study of plants as antimalarial agents. The ethnopharmacological approach for the search of new antimalarial agents from plant sources has proved to be more predictive. In India the National Malaria Eradication Programme (NMEP), started in 1958, achieved near complete disappearance of the disease in 1960s.

FORMULATION AND EVALUATION OF FLOATING TABLETS OF CEFUROXIME AXETIL
The aim of the present work was to design and development of hydrodynamically balanced tablet of cefuroxime axetil to enhance the bioavailability and therapeutic efficacy of the drug. Cefuroxime axetil is classified as a second-generation cephalosporin antibiotic and beta lactum antibiotics based on spectrum activity. Tablets are prepared by the direct compression technique by using HPMC K4M and mannitol as polymers along with sodium bi carbonate as gas generating agent. Formulation were evaluated for in vitro byoyancy and drug release study using up dissolation apparatus using 0.1N Hcl as a medium.The result indicate that floating tablets of dissolation cefuroxime axetil containg 45mg HPMC K4M provides a better option for control release action and improved bioavailability.

RECENT TRENDS IN DRUGS USED FOR TREATMENT OF PARKINSON'S DISEASE
Parkinson's disease is a disease of the nervous system that causes people to lose control over their muscles. About one in every 250 people over the age of 40, and about one in every 100 people aged 65 or older, are affected by Parkinson's disease. Although the average age of onset is 57, Parkinson's occasionally appears in childhood. Men are more likely to develop Parkinson's than women. In itself, Parkinson's is not a fatal condition.

DRUG USED IN TREATMENT OF ASTHMA
Asthma is a disease that affects the breathing passages of the lungs (bronchioles). Asthma is caused by chronic (ongoing, long-term) inflammation of these passages. This makes the breathing passages, or airways, of the person with asthma highly sensitive to various "triggers."When the inflammation is "triggered" by any number of external and internal factors, the passages swell and fill with mucus. Muscles within the breathing passages contract (bronchospasm), causing even further narrowing of the airways. This narrowing makes it difficult for air to be breathed out (exhaled) from the lungs. This resistance to exhaling leads to the typical symptoms of an asthma attack.

A COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW ON BACTERIAL MENINGITIS
Bacterial meningitis is found worldwide. The bacteria often live harmlessly in a person's mouth and throat. In rare instances, however, they can break through the body's immune defenses and travel to the fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord. There they begin to multiply quickly. Soon, the thin membrane that covers the brain and spinal cord (meninges) becomes swollen and inflamed, leading to the classic symptoms of meningitis. The bacteria are spread by direct close contact with the discharges from the nose or throat of an infected person.

MICROBIAL AND CHEMICAL FACTORS INVOLVED IN DETERIORATION OF FOOD QUALITY: AN OVERVIEW
Foods consumed by man and animals are ideal ecosystems in which bacteria and fungi can multiply. The mere presence of microorganisms in foods in small numbers however, need not be harmful, but their unrestricted growth may render the food unfit for consumption and can result in spoilage or deterioration. Knowledge of the factors that either favour or inhibit their growth is therefore, essential in understanding the principles of food spoilage and preservation. The present paper enumerates the various aspects of microbial and chemical factors involved in the deterioration of food quality.
