Design and Performance Validation of Vapour Absorption Solar Air Conditioning System

The Solar based absorption systems are used for the reduction of power load that is caused because of the utilization of the compressors. There have been different absorption sets that are tried for space cooling applications by bringing in different solar based heat inputs. The NH3 � H2O based absorption system need a working temperature of 120�C to 150�C, and requires concentrators with tracking and attracting higher qualities, however NH3 � H2O vapour absorption systems can operate at lower temperatures and can utilize FPC or ETC solar water heating frameworks as generators. In the near future, this will bring in low cost and low maintenance. The single effect 1 KW, NH3 � H2O absorption system with evacuated tube solar collector is attempted in this research work. The testing of the system and comparison of COPs with standard vapour absorption Solar Air Conditioning system are done

Clinical Profile of Dengue Fever in Patients of > 13 yrs: A Study of 122 cases

INTRODUCTION: Dengue infection is one of the commonest mosquito borne acute febrile viral haemorrhagic illness. Dengue epidemics were reported throughout the world, but most frequently from the region of South Asia. Most of the studies regarding Dengue infection/virus, epidemiological, Clinical and management pattern were studied in the region of South Asia. Dengue infection presents with varied clinical manifestation ranging from asymptomatic or simple viral illness to circulatory shock (DSS). Dengue infection has the potential to cause severe bleeding, shock and death. So, early diagnosis and recognition of complication is cornerstone in management. Even though, Dengue infection admissions are common in pediatric age group, adult patients admissions has also increased in recent years. However, the datas of Dengue infection among adults are limited. This study is to get additional datas on Dengue infection among adults from Chennai, which is from the region of South Asia. This study is done in Stanley Medical College, North Chennai which is highly endemic for communicable infectious diseases. This study deals with Clinical and Laboratory profile of Dengue infection among adults from North Chennai. AIM OF THE STUDY: To study the Clinical profile of Dengue Infection among age of >13yrs in the North Chennai, attending Medical Department, Govt. Stanley Hospital. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study was done in >13yrs patients admitted to adult General Medical ward of Stanley Medical College Hospital, Chennai from August 2007 – January 2009. All patients with clinical features of Dengue infection and positive for Dengue Card Test (PANBIO card Test) were taken up for the study. Their Clinical profile, Laboratory data and Outcome were recorded. 1. All the patients were evaluated for a). Clinical Features • Fever, • Headache, • Retro orbital pain (ROP), • Myalgia and Arthralgia, • Abdominal pain, • Nausea/ Vomiting, • Diarrhea/ Constipation, • Sleeplessness/ Lethargy, • Facial flush, • Conjunctival injection, • Lymphadenopathy, • Hepatospleenomegaly, • Bleeding manifestations, • Plasma leakage manifestations. b). Laboratory parameters: • Haemogram – TC, DC, Platelets. • Renal function – Urea, Creatinine. • Blood sugar. • Liver Function Test. • Chest X-ray. • Ultra-Sound Abdomen. • Dengue Card Test. Statistical Analysis: The relationship between the frequencies of clinical parameter of Dengue Fever (DF) and Dengue Haemorrhagic Fever (DHF) were analyzed after construction of 2x2 table and applying the Statistical Test of significance Chi-Squared Test of significance or Fisher`s e_2 test. Exclusion criteria: Patients with malaria, Enteric fever, Leptospirosis and Pneumonia were excluded by doing appropriate investigations. SUMMARY: 1. Dengue fever occurred in 122 patients in present study. 42% patients had DHF. DHF-II was common type of DHF. 2. Dengue Shock syndrome occurred in 9% patients. 3. DF as well as DHF commonly occurred in the age group of 13 – 30 yrs. 4. Mean Age – 29 ± 13.5 yrs; males (66%) were commonly affected than female; M : F is 1.9 : 1. 5. Most of the Dengue infection occurred during the period of October to January of the year. 6. Secondary infection (76%) was common compared to primary infection (24%) especially among DHF. 7. Other than Fever (100%) Myalgia (82%), arthralgia (65%) and Headache (77%) were common symptoms described in present study. 8. Abdominal symptoms, Sleeplessness/ lethargy, facial flushing and conjunctival injection occurred significantly in DHF than DF. 9. Elevated Eosinophil count and Transaminases occurred in DHF than DF. 10. Thrombocytopenia, Haemorrhagic manifestations and Plasma leakage manifestations occurred in 42% patients. 11. Rashes (67%), Venaepuncture bleed(61%) and Malena (47%) were common bleeding manifestations. 12. Ascites (88%) and Pleural Effusion (84%) were common plasma leakage manifestations. 13. Hypotension occurred in 26% patients. All patients were treated with IV fluid according to WHO protocol. 14. IV crystalloids were the primary modality of treatment in patient with DHF. According to the guidelines Whole blood transfusion (2patients), FFP (3patients) and Platelet concentrate (4patients) were also given for DSS. 15. All DHFs were diagnosed early with appropriate investigations and managed effectively with transfusions and IV crystalloids. These effective measures saved 11 DSS patients except one. 16. One patient expired. Case Fatality Rate was 0.008%. CONCLUSION: A total of 122 cases with Dengue were analysed. Results show that Dengue fever and Dengue haemorrhagic fever were noted in adults particularly during epidemics. Fluid Therapy is the corner stone of management in Dengue Haemorrhagic fever. Early recognition and aggressive management of complications is essential to prevent mortality in adults

Socio-Demographic Profile and Adherence to Anti-Retroviral Treatment among HIV/AIDS Patients Attending the ART Centre in Tamil Nadu

Background: Epidemiology of HIV infection in India is varied and depends on multitude of factors such as socio-demographic profile, geographic location and behavioural pattern. HIV/AIDS is not only a public health issue in India but also one of the most serious socioeconomic and developmental concerns as nearly 86% of reported cases occur in sexually active and economically productive age group (15-49yrs). Thus, for planning targeted interventions, it is essential to know the socio-demographic and clinical profile of the HIV/AIDS patients in a particular area as important for control of HIV replication, disease progression and ultimately containment of the disease. Hence this study was planned to describe the Socio-demographic profile and ART treatment adherence of People Living with HIV/AIDS attending The ART Centre, KKGMCH, Asaripallam, Kanyakumari District, Tamil Nadu. Objectives: To describe the Socio-demographic profile and ART treatment adherence of People Living with HIV/AIDS attending The ART Centre, KKGMCH, Asaripallam, Kanyakumari District, Tamil Nadu. Materials & Methods: This was a Cross- sectional study conducted among adult people living with HIV/AIDS who were on treatment at ART centre. The study was done during January 2014 to July 2014. The data was collected by using a semi structured questionnaire derived from WHO-BREFQOL. Result: The age of the study population varies from minimum 18 to maximum 59 years with the mean ± SD age of 39.5 ± 8.3 years. Around 69 (46.0%) participants are in the 31 – 40 years age group followed by 51 (39.0%) are in the 41 – 50 years age group. Regarding the Family type, 127 (84.7%) are from nuclear family; 19 (12.7%) are from extended family and another 4 (2.7%) are from the Joint family. The prevalence of opportunistic symptoms among the study participants, around 44% of the study participants developed respiratory related symptoms followed by Skin (24%). Among 150 subjects taking ART, 120 (80.0%) are receiving Regimen 1 and 30 others (20%) are receiving Regimen 2. Around 92 (61.3%) have good adherence to ART. 53 (35.3%) have fair and 5 (3.3%) have poor adherence. Conclusion: Non-adherence as a hindering factor for the success of therapy is well-established.
