A Survey on Big Data, Hadoop and it’s Ecosystem

Now days, The 21st century is emphasized by a rapid and enormous change in the field of information technology. It is a non-separable part of our daily life and of multiple other industries like education, genetics, entertainment, science & technology, business etc. In this information age, a vast amount of data generation takes place. This vast amount of data is referred as Big Data. There is a number of challenges present in the Big Data such as capturing data, data analysis, searching of data, sharing of data, filtering of data etc. Today Big Data is applied in various fields like shopping websites such as Amazon, Flipkart, Social networking sites such as Twitter, Facebook, and so on. It is reviewed from some literature that, the Big data tends to use different analysis methods, like predictive analysis, user analysis etc. This paper represents the fact that, Big Data required an open source technology for operating and storing huge amount of data. This paper greatly emphasizes on Apache Hadoop, which has become dominant due to its applicability for processing of big data.Hadoop supports thousands of terabytes of data. Hadoop framework facilitates the analysis of big data and its processing methodologies as well as the structure of an ecosystem

Bio medical Waste Management : A Case Study of Pune City

There are number of hospitals in all over the India which emits the Bio medical waste in large quantities in the form of contaminated and non-contaminated waste which are hazardous to health. Proper handling, treatment and disposal of Bio medical waste play a vital role in hospital infection controlled program. Unfortunately lack of adequate training, improper management, illiteracy about handling and awareness and no execution of Bio medical handling rules leads to staid health and environmental apprehension. Careless handling and disposal of these infectious wastes may lead to serious threat to life human as well as animals. This study explains the existing information about bio medical waste management, segregation, transportation, storage, treatment and disposal. Also this study explains lacunas of existing management system of bio medical waste, the recommendations and suggestions of bio medical waste management

Narrative review to unravel the link between symptoms and components of pathogenesis (Samprapti Ghatak) of Tamak Swasa (bronchial asthma)

Tamak Swasa is a disorder of Pranavaha Srotas. It highly correlates with the clinical picture of bronchial asthma. The non-recognition of Tamak Swasa in the early stages may lead to worsening of symptoms, frequent attacks of Swasa, and decreased quality of life. It is highly essential to recognize the underlining pathology and related Samprapti Ghataka (components of pathogenesis) based on clinical signs and symptoms of asthma. This understanding helps a physician to choose the most appropriate therapeutic approach. This review aims to explain the underlying pathology of symptoms of Tamak Swasa. A literature search was performed referring Bruhatrayee, Laghutrayee, and all other available classical texts of Ayurveda. Published articles were referred to using PubMed and google scholar search. This review analyzed that Vegavastha (exacerbation) and Avegavastha are important milestones of treatment. Identification of involvement of Vata and or Kapha Dosha, Aavaranajanya Samprapti (obstructed pathology), types of Srotodushti (Srotasas are the channels of transportation), deteriorated status of Jatharagni and functionality of Apan Vayu (a subtype of Vata Dosha) found to be vital components of pathogenesis linked with the major symptoms responsible for the manifestation of serious exacerbation stage of Tamak Swasa.  &nbsp

Comparison of safety, efficacy, and cost effectiveness of benzyl benzoate, permethrin, and ivermectin in patients of scabies

Objective: To compare three treatment modalities in scabies for safety, efficacy, and economy in a local population of Nagpur. Materials and Methods: This was a prospective, randomized, comparative clinical trial conducted in 103 participants, randomly allocated to three groups. First group received benzyl benzoate (BB) 25% lotion, second group received permethrin 5% cream, whereas third group received tablet ivermectin 200 µg/kg as a single dose. The participants were recalled after one week for follow-up evaluation. If there were no signs of cure, the same intervention was repeated. The participants were followed up for two weeks for cure rate, adverse drug reaction (ADR) monitoring, and postintervention observation. The follow-up was stopped after two weeks. Statistics: Fischer′s exact test using Graph pad Instat v 3.05. Results: Ivermectin showed 100% cure rate after two weeks of treatment. Permethrin decreased pruritus by 76% at the end of one week and had significantly better cure rate than ivermectin. At the end of two weeks treatment, this finding was reversed, that is, cure rate in ivermectin group was 100%. For cost-effectiveness analysis, treatment regimens were formulated hypothetically for comparison from Markov population tree for decision analysis. It was found that BB and ivermectin each consecutively for two weeks were most cost effective regimens giving complete cure in four weeks, while ivermectin was the fastest regimen giving the same results in two weeks. Conclusion: Benzyl benzoate as first line intervention and ivermectin in the remaining gave best cost-effective results in the study patients of scabies
