This book summarizes various tools and techniques used to provide insights into the cellular and molecular pathophysiology of stroke. It also presents rodent animal models to help shed light on the pathophysiology of ischemic stroke. Presenting the latest information on the different types of stroke, including embolic, filament, photothrombotic, and bilateral common carotid artery, the book also describes techniques that are used for confirmation of stroke surgery, such as laser speckle imaging (LSI) and laser Doppler flowmetry (LDF), and discusses the non-human primates that are used in stroke surgery, cerebral venous sinuous thrombosis, and neurobehavioral assessment. Lastly, it analyzes various neuroprotective agents to treat and prevent ischemic stroke, and examines the challenges and advances in treating and preventing acute ischemic stroke.

The study is about the widespread diseases of Gladiolus, caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. gladioli. It was revealed that the Fusarium corm rot and yellows disease caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. gladioli severely affected the standing crop and corms of gladiolus during storage. The disease intensity varied from 10 to 40% in the field and 15 to 40% in the store houses. Therefore, the present study was under taken with a view to investigate various aspects of the diseases in field and postharvest storage and its effective and eco-friendly management by using hot water, UV-C, essential oil of Hyptis suaveolens, solarization of soil and fumigation of soil with essential oil. Integrated approach of all these control methods was utilized to control post-harvest Fusarium corm rot of gladiolus and Fusarium wilt and yellows in the fields. Various control methods have been assessed during the study and interestingly the present study confirmed that essential oil from H. suaveolens inhibiting the growth of F.oxysporum f. sp. gladioli leading to irreversible deleterious morphological alterations and thus it is worth exploiting for the Eco-friendly management of the disease.

The study strives to explore the impact of M&A in the banking industry in India and identify post merger integration issues in the bank mergers. The study draws from a mix of recent literature review and interpretations of observations of employees and managers. It evaluates various reasons for M&A, post merger integration problems and impact of merger and acquisition on employees in the context of CBoP and HDFC bank merger. The first objective aims at exploring the implications of the merger for the shareholders. Second objective aims at studying the impact of merger on employees. The third objective aims at identifying the post-merger integration problems and issues for bank management. Only those branches, which merged after HDFC-CBoP merger, were considered for the survey.The study reveals that problems of post merger integration are mainly concerned with differing cultures, varied and different financial practices, and variety of softwares being used by the merging entities. Secondly, the integration process involves redistribution of work and retraining of the employees on a gigantic scale. The banking mergers in future have to be prepared for these challenges before hand;
