Recurrent Apthous Ulcers (RAU) has affected mankind through time immemorial. It is the most commonly prevalent oral mucosal lesion manifesting as painful ulcers involving non – keratinised oral mucosa. This review was done to assess herbal intervention in RAU patients for outcomes of ulcer size and pain intensity. Literature search of published articles in Medline, Scopus, Ovid and Journal of Web upto August 2020 were reviewed for the pre-described outcomes. Revman 5.4 software was used for study analysis. Total 9 articles were finally chosen for qualitative analysis. Meta analytic comparison demonstrated the ulcer reduction (CI =-2.22 to – 0.09; p <0.001) and pain intensity (CI =-4.60 to – 0.08; p <0.001) was reduced in the herbal group as compared to the controls. A definite evidence of herbal intervention was noted in alleviating RAU signs and symptoms. © 2021 National Journal of Maxillofacial Surgery.

Drought is a phase of below average rainfall in a given region, resulting shortages in water reserve. It adversely affects the soil moisture, surface runoff availability in rivers and recharge of ground water. Hence, put at risk to economic and environmental conditions and in supreme cases the human survival. In this chapter, we have provided methodology to assess and monitor metrological drought by using Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) method. SPI is a tool to quantify the drought characteristics, widely used for its easiness. In total, 40 years of the data from the period 1981-2020 were used for drought assessment in the region. The obtained rainfall data is then computed by SPI method for drought assessment and monitoring. The range of SPI value, in which. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2024. All rights reserved.
