    Get PDF
    Tamil Short Stories considered to be one of the contemporary Literary forms. From the very beginning of short story till it has reduced to a size of a paragraph it has undergone various changes in structure, pattern and contextualization. Similarly, the short story "Vaganam" written by Ambai in the year 1971 expresses the stress and pressure of the women and making the same a driving force to achieve success. This research paper critically analysis the struggle, challenges success and changes faced by the women folk which is quite obvious in the recent scenario with reference to Ambai's short story  "Vaganam" The usage of advance technologies to drive this computer is less polluting to the environment and less harmful to humans than the various vehicles such as cars. Arrow can be seen to be disciplining women as there are numerous different uses of the computer and it is safe for women to travel this way

    A STUDY ON COHOMOLOGY RINGS

    Get PDF
    Cohomology is a general term for a sequence of abelian groups defined from a cochain complex. That is, cohomology is defined as the abstract study of cochains, cocycles and coboundaries. Cohomology can be viewed as a method of assigning algebraic invariants to a topological space that has a more refined algebraic structure than the homolog

    This prospective study was conducted in 90 asymptomatic high risk women attending antenatal clinic in the Institute of Obstetrics and Gynaecology from January 2015 to March 2016. AIM AND OBJECTIVES: 1. To evaluate salivary progesterone as a marker of preterm birth. 2. To compare it with transvaginal cervical length in predicting preterm birth. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The information pertaining to the study like age, height, weight, BMI, socioeconomic status, occupational status, passive smoking, gestational age at delivery, NICU admission and neonatal mortality were collected from the 90 enrolled AN mothers. Two saliva samples were collected at 24 to 28 weeks and then at 29 to 32 weeks, simultaneously with transvaginal cervical length measurement. They were followed throughout the antenatal period for development of exclusion criteria. Details about gestational age at delivery, birth weight, NICU admission and neonatal mortality were collected. RESULTS: Sensitivity and specificity of salivary progesterone in predicting preterm labour, when done between 24 to 28 weeks was 100% and 94.2% respectively when the criterion was set as ≤ 3903pg/ml. The same when repeated between 29 to 32 weeks, sensitivity and specificity was 100% and 100% respectively when the criterion was set as ≤ 2975pg/ml. Sensitivity and specificity for trannsvaginal cervical length in predicting preterm labour was 91.7% and 95.7% respectively at 24 to 28 weeks when the criterion was set as ≤ 3.1cm and 100% and 98.6% respectively, when done at 29 to 32 weeks, and the criterion set as ≤ 2.9cm. There is increased incidence of preterm labour in group with history of passive smoking (66.7% in preterm group and 34.8% in term group. Neonates belonging to preterm birth group had higher incidence of NICU admissions (13.6% in preterm group and 6.2% in term group). Incidence of neonatal mortality is 1.2% in the pretem group which is significant (P=0.016). CONCLUSION: Salivary progesterone levels was a better predictor of preterm labour when compared to transvaginal cervical length as it has better sensitivity and specificity, non invasive, easier sample collection and does not need technical expertise. Salivary progesterone estimation done at 29 to 32 weeks has a better sensitivity and specificity than at 24 to 28 weeks

    We will study some of the basic concepts about vectors various operations on vectors, their algebraic and geometric properties. These two types of properties, when considered to gather give full realizations to the concepts of vectors, and lead to their vital applicability in various area

    A STUDY ON PERMUTATION GROUP

    In this paper we introduced what is meant by a permutation on a given set and showed how they form a group. We discussed the cycle notation of permutation and how it is useful in determining various properties of permutation groups. In fact it is shown that a permutation can be decomposed into disjoint cycles uniquely and that order of the permutation is the l.c.m of the lengths of the cycle in a decomposition of disjoint cycles

    The Devotion movement grew up with religious work and helping individual people. That is, the Devotion movement developed on the basis that charity should be given to the people living in the society as well as to the temples of God. In Saiva Samaya, by accepting morals in the name of God, not only towards human beings but also towards all living beings, with the morals of godliness and charity, the devotees, priests, and Sivadians who dedicated themselves to Lord Shiva drummed the sacrifice of Saiva Samaya. According to this, the most important and foremost people in Saivism, Tirunanasambandar, Tirunavukarasar, and Sundarar are called Devaras, and Manikkavasakara along with them are called Saivakuravas four. In this way, this article aims to know the love and morals of the Saiva Samaya and their religion and the above-mentioned humanitarian deeds special, their devotion to God, and their charitable deeds for the people. And the scriptures recited by Shivanatiyars who were possessed by the Lord came to be known as Tirumuraikal. The works of the four religious’ people among them, the number of their rituals and songs (pathikams), and the four Saiva religious people who were possessed by the Lord, the charity that they did to remove the suffering of the people with the grace of God and the charity that they did with love to praise the grace of the Lord are made to be seen in this sermon as the morality and love

    Fetal haemoglobin and alpha 1 microglobulin as biochemical markers in predicting preeclampsia in late first trimester and early second trimester of pregnancy

    Get PDF
    Background: Preeclampsia is a multi system disorder with placenta as the organ of origin and maternal endothelium being the organ of target.  According to recent studies, the cell free haemoglobin induces oxidative stress mediated damage to the blood placenta barrier with consequently elevated levels of HbF in maternal blood. Alpha 1 microglobulin is an endogenous protein with antioxidant property, present in elevated levels in maternal blood in response to oxidative stress. This fact forms the basis for our study. The objective of the present study was to establish association between high levels of fetal hemoglobin and alpha 1 microglobulin in plasma of pregnant women between 10 to 16 weeks of gestational age and subsequent development of preeclampsia.Methods: This was a prospective cohort study undertaken in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, ISO -KGH, between December 2016 to November 2017. A total of 100 pregnant women were included in the study after getting informed written consent. Both primigravida and multigravida, belonging to age group of 20 to 35 years (singleton/ multiple) between 10 to 16 weeks GA and with BMI between 16 to 35 kg/m2 were included in the study. A woman with Diabetes mellitus, Hypertension, Renal disease, Epilepsy and Vascular disorders were excluded from the study.Results: The cut off value for alpha 1 microglobulin was 1.86ng/ml and the cut off value of fetal haemoglobin was 1.92ng/ml above which the pregnant women develop preeclampsia.Conclusions: Higher values of fetal hemoglobin and alpha 1 microglobulin in pregnant women between 10 to 16 weeks gestational age positively correlates with development of preeclampsia in those women

    A conception with congenitally complicated connection: a rare case of pregnancy with total anomalous pulmonary venous connection

    Get PDF
    Total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) is a congenital cyanotic heart disease characterized by abnormal communication of pulmonary veins into the right atrium rather than into the left atrium leading to mixture of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood. Uncorrected TAPVCs do not survive till adulthood and pregnancy in patients with TAPVC is extremely rare. In patients with TAPVC, the heart cannot withstand the hemodynamic changes associated with pregnancy and hence termination of pregnancy in the first trimester is often required. Here we reported an extremely rare case of pregnancy in a patient with uncorrected TAPVC, terminated successfully in our institute without any complication
