WIRELESS PATIENT HEALTH MONITORING SYSTEM

In most hospitals and clinics patient waiting times are continuously increasing due to a shortage of trained physicians. Wireless Doc is a device that integrates an Electrocardiogram (ECG), (EEG) and BP together for further medical examination. Wireless Doc aims at a faster and an efficient way for providing this information to assist a physician in acquiring an accurate diagnosis sooner thereby reducing patient wait times in emergency. The Electroencephalography (EEG) is used in the evaluation of brain disorders. Most commonly it is used to show the type and location of the activity in the brain during a seizure. It also is used to evaluate people who are having problems associated with brain function. The Electrocardiogram (ECG) aims to measure the cardiac rhythm and rate of a patient. It ensures that the QRS complex is intact for the diagnosis of cardiac arrhythmias. The ECG system is used to detect Respiratory Sinus Arrhythmia (RSA). Design considerations that need to be taken into account when designing an ECG, EEG and BP are discussed. By using the electrodes attached to the patient from which the electrical activity of the heart and brain are acquired, amplified, filtered and sent wirelessly through Zigbee networks to a base station for post processing

Effectiveness of a structured exercise programme along with cognitive behavioural therapy on physical and emotional disturbances among adolescents with PCOS

BACKGROUND: Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common endocrine disorders, affecting 210 million women worldwide. PCOS can be highly distressing to the patients and their body image appears to be strongly associated with higher levels of depression, psychological and psychosexual morbidity and increase exposure to stressful stimuli. There is a close association between PCOS and obesity and it is also associated with increased waist circumference. Lifestyle modification, including increased physical activity is the first-line approach in managing PCOS. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effectiveness of a structured exercise programme along with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) on the physical and emotional disturbances among adolescents with PCOS. PARTICIPANTS AND METHODS: This study was conducted on 30 adolescents diagnosed with PCOS recruited through purposive sampling. A structured exercise programme consisting of aerobic, resisted exercises and CBT sessions were given to all the participants for duration of 5 weeks. Values of BDI (Beck Depression Inventory), BAI (Beck Depression Inventory), BMI (Body Mass Index) and WHR (waist hip ratio) were collected before and after the therapeutic intervention. RESULTS: From the pre-test and post-test values, using paired “t” test, the calculated ‘t’ value for BMI was 6.67, at ‘p’ 0.00 which is < 0.05. From the pre-test and post-test values, using paired “t” test, the calculated “t” value for WHR was 11.94 at ‘p’ 0.00 which is < 0.05. From the pre-test and post-test values, using paired “t” test, the calculated “t” value for severity of anxiety was 10.36, at ‘p’ 0.00 which is < 0.05. From the pre-test and post-test values, using paired “t” test, the calculated “t” value for severity of depression was 11.18 at ‘p’ 0.00 Which is < 0.05 value significance. CONCLUSION: Aerobic and resisted exercise programme along with CBT can be used as an effective non-pharmacological method to help PCOS adolescents overcome their stress and depression levels in addition to reducing their BMI and WHR in the short term

Bio- Matric Intelligent ATM System

Now a day, peoples have multiple bank accounts so money transactions play a vital role in the nature of trade. Today, ATMs and Credit cards are used for this purpose, the authentication of these transactions are unsecure. To overcome this shortcoming of money transactions, we proposes the idea of using fingerprints of customers as login multiple banking password in place of traditional pin number. Here, if the fingerprint is recognized, then it display the multiple banking screen. Then we can choose the bank which we need for transaction. The remaining feature are same as i.e., a reference fingerprint of the nominee or a close family member of the customer can be used if the customer is not available in case of emergencies. This proposed business model helps the society, mainly the rural people, by enhancing the security using Fingerprint recognition in Digital image processing. As the fingerprint of every person is unique and unchangeable, this biometric feature is used over the others

Methyl 4,6-bis­(4-fluoro­phen­yl)-2-oxo­cyclo­hex-3-ene-1-carboxyl­ate

The 3-cyclo­hexene units adopt envelope conformations in each of the two independent mol­ecules that comprise the asymmetric unit of the title compound, C20H16F2O3. The dihedral angles between the two fluoro­phenyl rings are 79.7 (2) and 73.7 (2)° in the two mol­ecules. In one of the mol­ecules, two C—H groups of the cyclo­hexene ring are disordered over two sets of sites in a 0.818 (13):0.182 (13) ratio, the major and minor components corresponding to the two enanti­omeric forms of the mol­ecule. Weak inter­molecular C—H⋯O inter­actions help to stabilize the crystal structure

Analysis of Stability and G × E Interaction of Rice Genotypes across Saline and Alkaline Environments in India

Genotype × environment (G × E) interaction effects are of special interest for identifying the most suitable genotypes with respect to target environments, representative locations and other specific stresses. Twenty-two advanced breeding lines contributed by the national partners of the Salinity Tolerance Breeding Network (STBN) along with four checks were evaluated across 12 different salt affected sites comprising five coastal saline and seven alkaline environments in India. The study was conducted to assess the G × E interaction and stability of advanced breeding lines for yield and yield components using additive main effects and multiplicative interaction (AMMI) model. In the AMMI1 biplot, there were two mega-environments (ME) includes ME-A as CARI, KARAIKAL, TRICHY and NDUAT with winning genotype CSR 2K 262; and ME-B as KARSO, LUCKN, KARSA, GOA, CRRI, DRR, BIHAR and PANVE with winning genotypes CSR 36. Genotypes CSR 2K 262, CSR 27, NDRK 11-4, NDRK 11-3, NDRK 11-2, CSR 2K 255 and PNL 1-1-1-6-7-1 were identified as specifically adapted to favorable locations. The stability and adaptability of AMMI indicated that the best yielding genotypes were CSR 2K 262 for both coastal saline and alkaline environments and CSR 36 for alkaline environment. CARI and PANVEL were found as the most discernible environments for genotypic performance because of the greatest GE interaction. The genotype CSR 36 is specifically adapted to coastal saline environments GOA, KARSO, DRR, CRRI and BIHAR and while genotype CSR 2K 262 adapted to alkaline environments LUCKN, NDUAT, TRICH and KARAI. Use of most adapted lines could be used directly as varieties. Using them as donors for wide or specific adaptability with selection in the target environment offers the best opportunity for widening the genetic base of coastal salinity and alkalinity stress tolerance and development of adapted genotypes. Highly stable genotypes can improve the rice productivity in salt-affected areas and ensure livelihood of the resource poor farming communities
