Bation of seizures; however, AEDs can reduce their efficacy.42 There have been some reports of seizure modification with the use of OCPs, although such modification depends on whether estrogen plus progesterone or progesterone alone is used.19, 20, 22, 25, Enzyme induction by AEDs may substantially decrease the concentration of circulating estrogen and reduce unbound progesterone via increasing sex-hormone protein binding, making women taking EIAEDs vulnerable to contraceptive failure unless additional methods are used.2, 5 The EIAED-induced compromise of hormonal contraception is true for all formulations in which a hormonal mechanism is used, including implantable and injectable forms.2 Circulating levels of estradiol may decrease by as much as 40% to 50% with the use of carbamazepine.2, 43 The enzyme-inducing effect can be significant and may reduce the efficacy of the low-dose 35-g estrogencontaining OCPs, thereby increasing the risk of pregnancy; therefore, higher-dose OCPs containing 50 g of ethinyl estradiol are recommended for all women taking EIAEDS.3-6, 21 Also, in a survey of obstetrician gynecologists and neurologists, it was found that awareness of AED interaction with OCPs was poor.44 In contrast to many of the initial AEDs, including phenytoin, carbamazepine or oxcarbazepine ; , phenobarbital, and primidone, many of the newer non-EIAEDs except topiramate ; do not carry similar risks of OCP inactivation.45 The AEDs ethosuximide, valproate, gabapentin, lamotrigine, and levetiracetam do not reduce the efficacy of OCPs. Additional agents, including tiagabine and zonisamide, have not shown inactivation of OCP effects or are unknown to inactivate OCPs. Additional methods of contraception, including the barrier method ie, condoms or diaphragms ; and foam spermicidal jelly, should be recommended if breakthrough bleeding occurs, although its use as a clinical marker is unreliable because ovulation and pregnancy can occur despite the absence of breakthrough bleeding. Issues involving contraception are critical for all WWE of childbearing potential and should be discussed with the patient and. 443. Topiraamte treatment for nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy - Oldani A., Manconi M., Zucconi M. et al. [A. Oldani, Sleep Disorders Center, Department of Neurology, HSR Turro and Universit` Vita-Salute San Raffaele, Milan, Italy] - SEIZURE 2006 15 8 a 649-652 ; - summ in ENGL Purpose: Aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of the antiepileptic drug topiramate TPM ; in a sample of patients with nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy NFLE ; . Methods: A 24 patients with video-polysomnographically confirmed NFLE received topiramate as single or add-on therapy. They all completed diaries concerning the seizures frequency and complexity and underwent to periodic follow-up visits. We classified the patients as: seizure-free, responders or non-responders. Results: 15 M; 9 F; mean age 29.3 10.4 years. The video-polysomnographic recordings showed a wide spectrum of seizures, ranging from repeated stereotypic brief motor attacks to prolonged attacks, with complex and bizarre behaviour; the recorded episodes occurred during non-REM sleep, both stage 2 and stage 3-4. The EEG during wakefulness was normal in all the patients, while seven of them showed epileptiform abnormalities during polysomnography. TPM was administered as single or add-on therapy from 50 to 300 88. 1. Anantharaman, T. R., The Rustless Wonder A Study of the Delhi Iron Pillar, Vigyan Prasar, New Delhi, India, 1997. 2.

It is important to check hips regularly and act quickly where problems develop. Evidence shows that correcting hip problems before the age of about five years can result in much better outcome Kalen and Bleck, 1985 ; . The ability to remodel hips diminishes rapidly after this age. Children with bilateral CP should have their hips checked regularly by a specialist with expertise in this area.
This will be the third time that the Congress has met in the United States. The III Congress was held in Durham, North Carolina in 1965 under the leadership of Professor Brown of Duke University. The VIII Congress was held in Long Beach, California in 1984 with President Jacobson presiding. It therefore seems appropriate that with 19 years between the first two in the USA, the third will follow at an 18 year interval.

Topiramate cream Was 300 mg day, and of TPM 300 mg day. Seventeen neuropsychological tests, with 41 variables, were performed. The interim report suggests a differential effect of LTG versus TPM monotherapy at these dosages across a broad range of neuropsychological testing. LTG monotherapy treatment was associated with fewer cognitive and behavioral side effects than was TPM monotherapy. One of the reasons for infrequent initial LTG use was the concern of patients developing Stevens-Johnson syndrome SJS ; . A review of the German Registry for Serious Cutaneous Reactions showed that of the 6100 patients on LTG in 1993, 0.08% developed SJS. GSK modified the LTG titration rate in 1994 and since, of 119, 200 patients, only 0.02% developed SJS. The rate in the pediatric population was 0.04%. Massengil et al., 2003 ; . A retrospective analysis of 951 patients taking LTG Hirsch et al., 2003 ; revealed that 5% of the patients developed a rash, with no occurrence of SJS or toxic epidermal necrolysis in any of the patients. Previous rash with another AED, particularly CBZ, was a predictor of rash with LTG. These findings indicate that concerns regarding rash and SJS should not be a major factor in determining potential usage of this drug. 3.3.5. New indications In 2002, LTG received its first global approval for use in bipolar disorder. In 2003, LTG received approval from the FDA for use as an adjunctive therapy for partial seizures in children 2 years of age and older Pina-Garza et al., 2003 ; and for maintenance treatment of adults with bipolar I disorder. Two studies conducted to determine the effects of LTG versus lithium in the maintenance treatment of bipolar disorder separately enrolled depressed or manic-hypomanic patients into an open-label treatment, followed by randomization to LTG, lithium, or placebo monotherapy for 18 months. With the primary outcome of time from randomization until intervention for an emerging mood episode or drop out of the study unrelated to bipolar illness, 638 patients randomized to 18 months of double-blind monotherapy with LTG n 280; 30400 mg day ; , lithium n 167; 0.81.1 mEq ; , or placebo n 191 ; . The combined analysis showed that LTG significantly delayed the time to intervention for depressive events and lithium significantly delayed the time to intervention for manic events.

We have studied the perforant path stimulation and lithium-pilocarpine models of status epilepticus, evaluating newer antiepileptic drugs and novel agents. Topkramate and the N-methyl-Daspartate antagonist budipine alone failed to stop the status, but a combination of topiramate with budipine was effective, suggesting a synergistic interaction between the two agents. Pathological and biochemical studies to look for evidence of neuroprotection with topiramate are underway. The mean weight loss for orlistat-treated patients was 2.89 kg CI, 2.27 to 3.51 kg ; at 12 months. A recent meta-analysis of phentermine and diethylpropion reported pooled mean differences in weight loss at 6 months of 3.6 kg CI, 0.6 to 6.0 kg ; for phentermine-treated patients and 3.0 kg CI, 1.6 to 11.5 kg ; for diethylpropion-treated patients. Weight loss in fluoxetine studies ranged from 14.5 kg of weight lost to 0.4 kg of weight gained at 12 or more months. For bupropion, 2.77 kg CI, 1.1 to 4.5 kg ; of weight was lost at 6 to months. Weight loss due to topiramate at 6 months was 6.5% CI, 4.8% to 8.3% ; of pretreatment weight. With one exception, long-term studies of health outcomes were lacking. Significant side effects that varied by drug were reported and tolterodine.

Vriend 2, E.E. Van der Wall 2, M.J. Schalij 2 1Amsterdam, Netherlands; 2Leiden University Medical Centeg Cardiology, Leiden, Netherlands Introduction: diagnosis of arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia cardiomyopathy ARVD C ; has major implications for the management of patients and their first-degree relatives. Diagnosis may be difficult and is based on a set of criteria proposed by the International Task Force TF ; for Cardiomyopathies in 1994. More recently, diagnostic criteria based on MRI or ECG only have been suggested in the literature. We evaluated the consistency in outcome between 3 different sets of diagnostic criteria. Methods and results: a total of 52 patients 33 male, mean age 464-11 yrs ; were evaluated for the possible occurrence of ARVD. Patients were evaluated because of ventricular arrhythmias 16 ; , palpitations pre ; syncope 31 ; , ECG changes during routine analysis 4 ; or a family history of ARVD 1 ; . All patients were analysed based on the TF-, MRIand ECG criteria and their concordance was calculated. According to the TF-criteria 27 52% ; patients were diagnosed with ARVD. MRI was performed in 45 86% ; patients 7 patients were excluded because of prior ICD implant ; of whom 20 45% ; were diagnosed with ARVD. Twenty patients 39% ; fulfilled the ECG criteria for ARVD. A moderate concordance was found between diagnoses based on the TF- and the MRI criteria kappa 0.49 ; and a fair concordance was found between the TF- and the ECG-criteria kappa 0.25 ; . On the contrary we found only a slight concordance between the MRI-and ECG diagnoses kappa 0.08 ; . Conclusion: these results indicate that there is not a strong concordance between the 3 diagnostic sets. Therefore we conclude that the clinical diagnosis of ARVD has to be based on TF-criteria, and cannot be replaced by a single diagnostic technique. Before the administration of any drug were rejected for the experiment. In all cases the preparation was left to rest for at least one hour after the surgery before any drug was tested. Nociceptive activity was elicited in 3 min cycles consisting of 10 s noxious mechanical stimulation and one train of sixteen percutaneous electrical stimuli 2 ms pulse width, 1 Hz and twice the threshold intensity for the recruitment of C-fibers ; applied to the most sensitive area of the cutaneous receptive field of the unit. Figures 1 and 3 show examples of the protocol followed in all the experiments. Mechanical stimulation was performed by a computercontrolled pincher device Estimec, Cibertec, Spain ; using a force of 200 mN over the threshold and applied on an area of 14 mm2. The threshold force was considered as the minimum force required to trigger a sustained nociceptive reflex over the period of 10 s stimulation see Figure 1A for an original recording of spikes recorded with this stimulation ; . Electrical stimulation was used to study the phenomenon of wind-up see [24] for review ; . Data from electrical stimulation were analyzed by counting C-fiber mediated inputs see Figure 1B for an original recording of the wind-up response ; . At the end of the experiments the animals were killed with an overdose of sodium pentobarbital Dolethal, Vetoquinol S.A. ; . All experiments in this study were undertaken in accordance with Spanish and European Union legislation regarding the uses of animals for experimental protocols and all efforts were made to reduce the number of animals used and acetazolamide.

A very small number of people may have thoughts of suicide. Rarely, blood tests have shown a slight increase in acidity. In many cases, there are no symptoms from this increased acidity but some people may experience symptoms such as rapid breathing, persistent lack of energy and loss of appetite. Some people may experience more serious symptoms such as heart problems, confused thinking or reduced consciousness. doctor if you your child are not sweating as usual or show signs of increased body temperature. Side effects reported most often in adults were: coordination problems, difficulty concentrating, slow thinking, confusion and forgetfulness, dizziness, tiredness, tingling and drowsiness. Less frequently reported side effects are: agitation, decrease in appetite, speech disorders e.g. hesitancy or word-finding difficulty ; , depression, emotional lability, vision disorders e.g. double vision ; , mood swings, nausea, taste changes, weight loss and kidney stones may include symptoms such as blood in the urine, or low back pain or pain in the genital area ; . In children, the following side effects were associated with the use of topiramate: difficulty concentrating, forgetfulness, tiredness, drowsiness, nervousness, decrease in appetite, weight loss, and aggressive behaviour.

Symptoms related to anxiety and depression. A collateral finding is that psychedelics, although they may provide dramatic enhancement of understanding insight ; , simply do not function as chronically used palliatives. I suspect that cannabis does double duty as a psychedelic for at least some chronic users, but that concept needs a lot more work. In my opinion, Psychiatry's progressive embrace of the DSM nosology for `mental illness' has been both an unmitigated disaster and of great assistance to the furtherance of both drug war dogma and our increasing, ill-advised use of molecular psychopharmacology. I also completely agree that the drug war has co-opted Psychiatry, Medicine, Criminal Justice, and several other key institutions, as well as making `peer-reviewed' publication of any material favorable to cannabis almost impossible. Sadly, many organizations that fancy themselves opponents of the drug war have been beguiled into supporting some of its key tenets; notably that "drugs are bad, " especially for "kids."

The cultures are ranked from the highest communality to the lowest communality with the social behaviors listed and associated number of cultures in the analysis. It can be seen that these patrilineal cultures are characterized by high punishment of abortion 86% high desire for children 63% high bride price 63% superordinate justice present 79% polygyny common 73% ; , small extended family 66% caste system present 69% slavery present 62% ; and male genital mutilation 69% ; present; low child indulgence 61% female initiation rites absent 66% punitive premarital sexuality 64%TC190 punitive extramarital sexuality 63% moderate low insobriety 69% a high god in human morality is present 73% and homosexuality is permitted 57% ; . Table 10 presents the social and behavioral characteristics of exclusively matrilineal cultures v all other kin groups. Textor Code 187 was used in this analysis where there are 55 exclusive matrilineal cultures. The communality of associations are ranked from the highest to the lowest with associated sample size and are all statistically significant. The matrilineal cultures are characterized by low castration anxiety 84% ; , secret societies are present 77% ; , high god absent in human morality 74% ; , high food taboos 73% anal reasons for illness 70% large extended families 66% low child anxiety 66% youth sexuality supported 63% wives easily obtained 62% and class stratification is absent 56% ; . A comparison of these social-behavioral characteristics indicate that the matrilineal cultures are strikingly different from the patrilineal cultures. The matrilineal cultures have similar characteristics to the bonobo culture with respect to nurturance of young, large extended family and support of expressive sexuality, which are distinguished from the patrilineal cultures that are violent and sexually controlling and punitive. It is apparent that the evolutionary stage of the bonobo does not admit speculation of a "high god" in their culture nor for the existence of any gene structure for a "high god". For some it will be a relief to know that there is no genetic basis for a belief in a "high god". From whence then does such a belief system arise, which has inflicted so much violence upon humanity? The answer is culture. Gods of Culture Gods of Peace or Gods of Violence? Table 11 lists the social-behavioral characteristics.

Nsulin is not the only hormone that regulates plasma glucose levels. Amylin, which is produced by pancreatic beta cells, contributes to postprandial lowering of glucose levels; like insulin, it is absent or deficient in persons with diabetes mellitus. Pramlintide, a synthetic analogue of amylin, was approved by the FDA in 2005 as an adjunct treatment for patients with diabetes mellitus who fail to achieve desired glucose control despite optimal mealtime insulin therapy. When added to a preexisting insulin regimen, pramlintide lowered HbA1c levels 0.5% to 0.7% from baseline. Pramlintide is injected subcutaneously just before major meals, in a different syringe from that used for insulin injections. When starting pram and raloxifene.

INTRODUCTION animal model of self-maintained drug dependence became available in 1961 when a technique was established which permitted a rat to press a lever switch in order to self-administer norphine, via an indwelling intravenous iv ; cannula Weeks, 1961 and in this way, the rat resembled a drug addict by maintaining itself in a state of dependence. Meanwhile, studies of the electroencephalogram EEG ; had demonstrated that various states of consciousness such as wakefulness, drowsiness, or sleep were associated with distinct EEG patterns Morruzzi and Magoun, 1949 ; . Thus, the experimental self-administration model of Weeks was incorporated with a method for chronic recording of cortical EEG; Khazan, Weeks and Schroeder, 1967; Khazan and Weeks, 1968 ; . The resulting experimental model allows continuous recording of ongoing EEG changes during morphine self-administration and provides a basic model for simultaneous study of behavioral and electrophysiological correlates during self-maintained dependence in the rat see review, Khazan, 1975 ; . Self-injections of morphine in dependent rats produced a biphasic response consisting of a brief episode of behavioral stupor with EEG; slow bursts that was followed by behavioral and EEG arousal Khazan et al, 1967; Khazan and Weeks, 1968 ; . Sleep and REM sleep episodes then predominated until immediately before the next selfinjection. These morphine-dependent rats with free access to an operant lever for self-administration usually took single iv injections 10 mg kg ; every 2 to 3 hours Weeks and Collins, 1968; Moreton, Roehrs and Khazan, 1976 ; . We have used this experimental self-administration model study electrophysiological and behavioral correlates during the selfadministration of other narcotics such as methadone, -alphaacetylmathadol LAAM ; , nor-INN NLAAM ; , and dinor-IAAM DNLAAM ; Moreton et al., 1976; Young, Steinfels and Khazan, in press ; . Although the average intervals between methadone self-injections were shorter than those with morphine 1.5 to 2 hours ; , similar.

L5 excision 357 L5 and D29. Thus, although this region of the genomes is somewhat uid, the excisionase genes are well-conserved. The M. tuberculosis H37Rv genome contains three genes coding for proteins with sequence similarity to L5 gp36: Rv2657c, Rv2310 and Rv1584c Cole et al., 1998 ; . Both Rv2657c and Rv1584c are located within two putative phage-like elements fRv2 and fRv1 respectively ; found in the M. tuberculosis genome Hendrix et al., 1999 ; , whereas Rv2310 is adjacent to a small ORF that has similarity to phage integrases but is likely to be non-functional. The protein encoded by Rv2657c has the highest degree of similarity to L5 gp36 50% identity ; and is located close to an integrase Rv2659c ; that is correspondingly similar to L5 integrase 36% identity, Pena et al., 1998a ; . M. tuberculosis Rv1584c has only a weak match to L5 gp36 25% identical ; , but is located in a colinear position relative to the fRv1 integrase, as the putative excisionase Rv2657c ; and integrase Rv2659c ; are in fRv2. However, in fRv1, the integrase is not a member of the tyrosine recombinase family as are the L5 and fRv2 integrases ; , but is a member of the serine recombinase family that includes resolvases, DNA invertases and some newly discovered phage integrases Hatfull and Grindley, 1988; Thorpe and Smith, 1998 ; . How the serine-recombinase phage integrases mediate site-specic recombination and control the directionality of prophage integration and excision is not known, and excisionases have not been identied in any of these phages, including the best characterized system, fC31 Thorpe and Smith, 1998 ; . It is therefore of some note that fRv1 contains an excisionase-like gene that may play a role in these alternative recombination systems. We have shown previously that a plasmid containing L5 int and attP pMH94 ; and one that includes additional L5 DNA pMH5 ; both transform M. smegmatis at equal efciency, but that pMH5 is less stably maintained Lee et al., 1991 ; . This difference can now be readily explained by the presence of L5 gene 36 on pMH5 and its absence from pMH94. However, these two plasmids vary greatly in their ability to transform BCG, with pMH94 transforming efciently 105 colonies mg1 DNA ; and pMH5 very inefciently 110 colonies mg1 DNA ; . Moreover, the pMH5 transformants that are obtained contain deletions of segments of the plasmid DNA Lee et al., 1991 ; . The difference in the behaviours of these plasmids in M. smegmatis and BCG could perhaps be accounted for by differences in the regulation of expression of L5 gene 36, such that high levels of gp36 in BCG might strongly promote excision. It is also possible that high levels of gp36, or perhaps some other L5 gene on pMH5, is expressed at such a level that it is not tolerated by BCG. In this respect, it is noteworthy that transformants of M. smegmatis carrying pJL22 in which the hsp60 promoter is expressing gp36 ; grow more slowly than vector-containing counterparts.
Some people seem to be able to drink regularly without major physical or behavioral impairment. Others seem to be born drunks. Where do you fit in the continuum? Only you--and your body--can say. Because what we know about drugs and their effects to date basically centers around the ways in which our bodies are alike. The problem is that we're all different. And drugs and alcohol do their most serious work by plugging into the most "different" parts of us all. That's because psychoactive chemicals move, like magnets to steel, to the places inside us where thoughts and perceptions and feelings are born, live, and eventually die. Perhaps most worrisome of all, they tilt these intimate aspects of ourselves from the inside out. From the outside in, though--from the perspective of the altered selfconcept and thoughts and feelings that result--it's easy to overlook the fact that we're doing it to ourselves. And from there, it's a small step to forgetting who's in charge of our lives altogether. Want to avoid problems for yourself? The safest way is to be careful with the drugs you allow into your life. Because one bit of information that human beings picked up over the centuries that's as true in the era of science as it was in the era of superstition is that alcohol and drugs can change us--in ways both large and small. And the surest way to prevent problems is to avoid them altogether. I and calcitriol and Cheap topiramate online.

Pharmacotherapy for the treatment of neuropathic pain includes three general categories: opiods, nonopiods, and adjunct analgesics.2 Opiods Examples of opiod analgesics are codeine, fentanyl, hydromorphone, morphine, and ocycodone. These medications work by binding to receptors in specific neurons in the central and peripheral nervous system, resulting in a suppression of neuronal firing.1 Medical providers generally are familiar with the use of these types of medications. Non-opiods Examples are acetaminophen and nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs NSAIDS ; . Acetaminophen has a mechanism of action thought to be associated with the nitric oxide cycle.1 NSAIDS will work by inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis at sites of inflammation. Adjunct Analgesics Examples are anticonvulsants such as gabapentin, lamotrigine and topiramate along with the antidepressants including amitriptyline, nortriptyline and desipramine. The anticonvulsants appear to work by blocking sodium channels, which decrease or suppress the abnormal spontaneous depolarization of pain nerves. Tricyclic antidepressants TCA ; actions are related to inhibition of serotonin reuptake in the central nervous system, also blockage of sodium channels and adenosine receptors.1 Although not a labeled indication, amitriptyline is widely used as an atypical analgesic in the management of severe conditions involving fibromyalgia and various neuropathies.3 Adjunct analgesics are often used when other types of pain medications do not work adequately. It has been suggested that a jabbing and burning pain may respond better to an antidepressant, whereas a sharp and risedronate.

Manic episodes were associated with a poor antimanic response to lithium and with better response to valproate. Some studies have shown valproate to be less effective than olanzapine in the treatment of mania; however, valproate has the advantage of causing less weight gain and sedation.73 The most common adverse effects associated with valproate treatment include tremor, dizziness, sedation, nausea and rash. 74 Valproate may rarely cause fulminant hepatic failure; however, all of these cases have occurred in children, with a family history of hepatic problems and often on multiple anticonvulsants.50, 75 Nonetheless, the monitoring of serum liver enzymes and other markers of hepatic function is recommended in patients receiving valproate. Valproate use in pregnancy is associated with neural tube defects such as myelomeningocele and spina bifida. The frequency of this effect is estimated to be 1% to 2% outlined in the Summary of Product Characteristics; available at: medicines ; . Carbamazepine The literature on the efficacy of the anticonvulsant carbamazepine as a mood stabiliser is limited. Whilst some open studies have shown that carbamazepine is as effective as lithium in the treatment of acute mania, 50 a meta-analysis of the data comparing carbamazepine and lithium, concluded that the efficacy of carbamazepine in preventing episodes of mood disturbance in bipolar affective disorder was questionable.76 A review by Ketter et al77 showed that approximately two thirds of patients with acute mania responded within seven to 10 days to carbamazepine; however, many of the studies in this review also had methodological weaknesses. There are some open data supporting the use of carbamazepine, as with valproate and topiramate, in rapid cycling bipolar affective disorder; 78 however, the use of carbamazepine in rapid cycling bipolar affective disorder requires further study. The tolerability of carbamazepine amongst certain patients may be compromised by its side effect profile, especially at higher doses. The most common adverse effects include dizziness, ataxia, drowsiness, skin reactions and low white blood cell count. 50 In addition, there is a need to monitor serum levels and to adjust dosages accordingly. Other medications There are variable amounts of evidence in relation to the use of other medications in the management of bipolar affective disorder. For example, while it has been suggested that topiramate is useful in bipolar affective disorder, a review of evidence suggests that topiramate lacks efficacy in the treatment of acute mania; further studies are needed in this area.79 Gabapentin, another anticonvulsant agent, may have a role in the treatment of anxiety symptoms in bipolar disorder. 80 Other anticonvulsants, such as tiagabine and zonisamide, also require further study in the context of bipolar affective disorder.81, 82.

The facts enumerated above leave no doubt that the Indian caste ideology was altogether different from the loose bundle or combination of social prejudices and discriminations, such as we meet in the colour and racial bar among the negroes and the whites in the D.S.A., or in the restricted Jus connubii among class societies in general and among the mixed races of mulattoes, quadroons and octoroons in particular, or in the notion of impurity attached to pig and swine-herds in Egypt, or in the elements of untouchability that we find concerning the Pagoda slaves of Burma and Etah of Japan. The Indian caste ideology was not a simple ideology. It was an ideological system, wherein social prejudices concerning hierarchy, colour, race, taboos, purity, impurity and pollution etc., were integrated into one whole to serve the overall purpose of the caste system. Towards this end, Hindu scriptural sanction, Dharma, tradition, custom, ritualism, ceremonialism and the theories of 'Karma' and 'Avtaras' were interlinked and coordinated. "To quit the works and duties of one's ; caste a sin" The most heinous crime was to commit an offence against the caste order. The sould of one who neglected his caste-duties might pass into a demon. Dharma came to mean primarily ritualistic duties, and ritualistic barriers between castes are fundamental to the caste system One's Dharma depended upon the Caste into which the individual was born and was indissolubly connected with his caste duties. Hence, for the duties of one's caste, a special term, 'Varnasrama Dharma', was coined. As such, 'Varnasrama Dharma', the ritualistic duties of castes, became the central criterion of Hinduism. By ignoring his ritualistic duties, namely the caste duties, the individual lost both his Dharma and his caste. Significantly, the codes, which laid the legal basis of the caste society, were entitled as Dharm Shastras. In this way, Dharma was, on the one hand, linked to religious duties, and, on the other, to the caste duties, thus forging another link, apart from scriptural sanction, for endowing religious sanctity to the castes and the caste system. This ideology raised social hierarchy to the level of a religious principle by giving it the sanction of Hindu scriptures, Dharma and other constitutents of the caste ideology, which also had religious connotation of one kind or the other. This principle of social hierarchy, in its practical application, was diversified and codified by Hindu law-givers and priests in such.
