    ABSTRACT:
    Cirrhosis is defined as the histological development of regenerative nodules of liver parenchyma surrounded by fibrous septa in response to chronic liver injury. Chronic liver diseases represent a significant health problem across the globe with liver cirrhosis,an end stage consequence of fibrosis, being the major medical emergency with significant morbidity and mortality.
    The exact prevalence of this life threatening disease worldwide is unknown as clinical spectrum of cirrhosis ranges from indolent, asymptomatic to complete hepatic decompensation. The progression of fibrosis to cirrhosis is lower in women than men due tothe protection offered by oestrogens. The ultimate curative option for liver cirrhosis currently is liver transplantation, which poses significant risk to the patient.

    Abstract
    Nutrition(also called nourishment or aliment) is the provision, to cells and organisms, of the materials necessary (in the form of food) to support life. Many common health problems can be prevented or alleviated with a healthy nutrition.
    Nutrition describes the processes by which all of the food a person eats are taken in and the nutrients that the body needs are absorbed. Good nutrition can help prevent disease and promote health.
    Carbohydrate, Protein, Vitamins and minerals are an important part of nutrition. Vitamins are organic substances present in food. They are required by the body in small amounts to regulate metabolism and to maintain normal growth and functioning. Minerals are vital because they are the building blocks that make up the muscles, tissues, and bones. They also are important to many life-supporting systems, such as hormones, transport of oxygen, and enzyme systems.
    A good nutrition plan will ensure that a balance of food groups, and the nutrients supplied by each group, is eaten A poor diet may have an injurious impact on health, causing nutrition deficiency diseases such as scurvy and kwashiorkor  health-threatening conditions like obesity and metabolic syndrome and such common chronic systemic diseases as cardiovascular disease, diabetes and osteoporosis. Present paper expresses the role of nutritional supplements on general health & disease conditions.

    ABSTRACT:
    Diabetes mellitus is a complex metabolic syndrome that results from a heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by chronic hyperglycemia, with disturbances of carbohydrate, fat and protein metabolism resulting from the improper insulin secretion and/or inefficient insulin action and possibly by abnormally high amounts of other counter regulatory hormones such as growth hormone, sympathomimetic amines and corticosteroids.

    This chronic hyperglycemia is associated with long term damage, dysfunction and failure of various organs (Multi Organ Dysfunction Synrome) leading to diabetic retinopathy, nephropathy, neuropathy and macrovascular diseases.

    ABSTRACT
    The purpose of this paper is to focus on drug delivery system developing by such polyelectrolytes and most focused on targeting of  drugs to specific sites have aroused as revolution in pharmaceutical  field, thereby, giving rise to drug  delivery systems. Polymers have gained much importance indrug delivery especially those which respond in some desired way to change in pH, temperature, electric or magnetic field. For this reason they are very frequently and extensively used as excipients in design and advancement of controlled and/or sustained release products. The scope of polymers used in dosage form design can be increased by several approaches such as modification of their chemical structure, by combining different polymers in physical mixtures or by formation of polymer-polymer associations such as polyelectrolyte complexes.
