ABSTRACT
This method describes simple, sensitive, rapid, accurate, precise and economical derivative spectroscopic methodfor the simultaneous determination of tolperisone hydrochloride (TOL) and diclofenac sodium (DIC) in bulk and synthetic mixture. In this study, dual wavelength spectroscopic method was used for simultaneous determination of tolperisone hydrochloride and diclofenac sodium using the absorbance difference at two wavelengths. The absorbance differences of 257 nm and 306.20 nm were selected for the estimation of TOL and the absorbance differences of 243.40 nm and 265.40 nm were selected for estimation of DIC. The method was found to be linear (r2>0.999) in the range of 2- 18 μg/ml for tolperisone hydrochloride. The linear correlation was obtained (r2>0.997) in the range of 2- 18 μg/ml for diclofenac sodium. The limit of determination was 0.66 and 0.27 μg/ml for tolperisone hydrochloride and diclofenac sodium respectively. The limit of quantification was 2.00 and 0.83 μg/ml. The method was successfully applied for simultaneous determination of tolperisone hydrochloride and diclofenac sodium in binary mixture.

ABSTRACT
A well drafted application decides the fate of an invention. Drafting plays a vital role in the success of an invention during its prosecution, management and maintenance during its tenure and turning it into cash. Drafting a patent application is one of the most important and at the same time one of the most difficult process. The applicant or his agent should so draft a patent application that it is granted with an adequate scope or ambit so as to fully serve the business purpose(s) for which the patent is meant to be used. It is here that the importance of drafting the claims in a patent must be fully appreciated, as the drafting of claims must always be done with a clear focus on the exact business needs that are sought to be served by it. That is, a business strategy perspective must inform the thinking of the one who takes up the task of drafting the patent claims. The ultimate purpose of every business strategy is to ensure that a business makes the desired amount of profit to justify the risks taken in making the investments of resources and time. Similarly, the purpose of drafting claims should be to fully serve the business strategy at hand. Even so, only a small number of well drafted patents are actually used by businesses to help them to make or safeguard their profits. (Swarbrick James, 2007).

Baba Farid University of Health Sciences was established under an Act passed by the Legislature of the State of Punjab in July, 1998.

Yamuna Pharmacy was founded by Late Dr. P. L. Jerath in 1944, with a small manufacturing facility not to be called as a unit. With dreams and desires in eyes and willingness to treat ailing mankind with quality hearbal medicines along with his better half Dr. Prem Rani Jerath, he nurtured this small sapling with every care.

ABSTRACT:
The term Angiogenesis was coined by DR. John Hunter, a British surgeon in 1787. Later professor Judah Folkman gave the idea that growth of tumor depends on their blood supply and a new began research in this new field of therapeutics called ANGIOGENESIS.  Then, the identification of angiogenic growth factors, Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) and Fibroblast Growth Factor (FGF) fueled interest in using these factors in inducing therapeutic angiogenesis.^[1] Initially angiogenesis was implicated only in few diseases like cancer, psoriases and arthritis. But, in recent years, it has been evident through a deep research that even excessive, insufficient and abnormal angiogenesis contribute to the pathogenesis of many disorders. Angiogenesis is regulated by a balance between pro- and anti- angiogenic factors. Research shows that angiogenesis and anti angiogenesis has given promising results in treatment of diseases like AIDS, atherosclerosis, ischemic heart disease and Alzheimer’s. In twenty first century, application of angiogenesis in therapeutics may have an impact on disorders similar to that which the discovery of antibiotics had in twentieth century.
