For the past few years, the South Peninsular India (SPI) is facing natural calamities in terms of rainfall extremes. With the advent of satellite datasets, the challenges in the prediction of rainfall have improved to some extent. In this paper, effort has been made to evaluate Climate Prediction Center (CPC)-South Asia data set, CPC Morphing Technique (CMORPH) against observed Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) daily precipitation data over SPI. Different statistical indices including 4 categorical indices were used to assess the capability of the product in estimating precipitation extent and rainfall occurrence prediction of monsoon season from 2014 – 2020. Results suggest a strong correlation (0.8), Index of Agreement (0.9) and Kling Gupta Efficiency Index (0.7) between the predicted and observed data. Higher value of Probability of Detection (POD), Critical Success Index (CSI) and a lower value of False Alarm Ratio (FAR) implies the strong capability of CMORPH in the precipitation estimation.

The Indian subcontinent has probably the most elevated pace of oral malignant growth on the planet. 65% of all malignant growth in men and 33% of all diseases in ladies are tobacco related. It is assessed that approximately 1,000,000 individuals die because of tobacco related illnesses in India every year. It is essential that numerous oral squamous cell carcinomas transform from conceivably harmful issues such as oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMDs). Zingiber officinale has been used since long for their mitigating properties, notwithstanding and has been used to treat inflammation as it inhibits cyclooxygenase. There is data in regards to the distinguishing proof of gingerol-related mixtures that have mitigating movement through the particular hindrance of COX-2. Our main objective was to formulate a cellulose based muccoadhesive films impregnated with small dose of zingibain for management of OPMDs to guarantee prolonged retention of the medicament on to the oral mucosa for better treatment outcome. The mucoadhesive buccal patch would not only retain the medicament for a longer period, but will also act as a muco-protective barrier for faster wound healing. The present paper would be describing the potential application of Zingibain containing mucoadhesive buccal patch for an effective non-surgical management of OPMDs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
