    We report the results of 151Eu Moessbauer effect and magnetization measurements in the Eu-doped Ca3Co2O6 and Ca3CoRhO6, which are of great current interest in the fields of spin-chain magnetism and geometrical frustration. We find that there is a pronounced increase in the line-width of the Moessbauer spectra below a certain characteristic temperature which is well-above the one at which three-diensional ordering features set in. This unusual broadening of the spectra indicates the existence of a characteristic temperature in these 'exotic' magnetic systems, attributable to the onset of incipient one-dimensional magnetic order. This is inferred from an intriguing correlation of this characteristic temperature with the paramagnetic Curie temperature (a measure of intrachain coupling strength in these cases)

    Background: Histopathology of endometrium is considered important investigation in case of infertility. The functional disturbance involved in infertility may result in morphological changes in endometrium. Endometrial histopathology is helpful in dating of endometrium so that hormonal status, ovulation and infertility.Methods: The material for this study consists of endometrial tissue obtained from patients. It was collected either by endometrial biopsy or curettage of uterus done in the minor OT department of obstetrics and gynaecology. The specimen was processed paraffin tissue processing and section of five micrometer was cut and stained with hematoxylin and eosin and ZN staining as per requirement.Results: Morphological and histopathological pattern of endometrium of patients with primary infertility, anovulatory (proliferative endometrium was present in 24 (30%) patients, simple hyperplasia was present in 16 (20%), deficient secretary phase was present in 26 (32.50%) patients, adequate secretary phase was present in 7 (8.75%) patients. Endometrial tuberculosis was diagnosed in 4 (5%) patients and in one patient neoplastic change was found. Arias Stella reaction was present in 1 (1.25%) patients.Conclusions: From present study we can conclude that the mean age of patients with primary infertility was 25.76±3.21 years and most of the patients were between 26 to 35 years of age. Regular menstrual cycle was present in 54 (67.5%) patients and 32.5% patients were presented with irregular cycle. The duration of infertility between 3 to 6 years was present in 34 (42.5%) patients. Secretory endometrium was present in 52.5% patients and was most common finding followed by proliferative endometrium. Endometrial tuberculosis was present in 2.5% patients

    COVID-19, caused by SARS-CoV-2 virus which is declared as a pandemic by the WHO on March 2020 has made a huge difference in the practice and daily activities of the laboratory services. There are high chances of receiving potentially infectious samples to the laboratory for various tests. Authors propose a few biosafety measures in the preparation and processing of various pathology specimens received to the lab during this pandemic time in correlation with guidelines given by WHO. These safety measures aim at protecting and safe guarding the laboratory staff, trainees, and pathologists by minimizing the exposure to COVID-19

    Trust Enhanced Role Based Access Control Using Genetic Algorithm

    Improvements in technological innovations have become a boon for business organizations, firms, institutions, etc. System applications are being developed for organizations whether small-scale or large-scale. Taking into consideration the hierarchical nature of large organizations, security is an important factor which needs to be taken into account. For any healthcare organization, maintaining the confidentiality and integrity of the patients’ records is of utmost importance while ensuring that they are only available to the authorized personnel. The paper discusses the technique of Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) and its different aspects. The paper also suggests a trust enhanced model of RBAC implemented with selection and mutation only ‘Genetic Algorithm’. A practical scenario involving healthcare organization has also been considered. A model has been developed to consider the policies of different health departments and how it affects the permissions of a particular role. The purpose of the algorithm is to allocate tasks for every employee in an automated manner and ensures that they are not over-burdened with the work assigned. In addition, the trust records of the employees ensure that malicious users do not gain access to confidential patient data

    Mobile Health Interventions for Adult Obesity in the United States: Analysis of Effectiveness and Efficacy

    Get PDF
    The Unites States continues to struggle with the negative health effects associated with increasing population obesity, a problem which has been historically difficult, if not impossible, to solve. Mobile health applications represent a potential partial solution to this problem. We examine the existing literature on the effects of mobile health applications on body weight, waist circumference, BMI, and lifestyle, examining both physical findings as well as adherence, satisfaction and cost effectiveness. The use of mobile for weight reduction looks promising, but evidence is mixed, which is not surprising given the rapidly evolving nature of the mobile application field

    EVALUATION OF IN VITRO ANTIUROLITHIATIC ACTIVITY OF CHLORIS BARBATA

    Get PDF
    Objective: The present study was undertaken to evaluate the in vitro antiurolithiatic activity of the medicinal plant Chloris barbata.Methods: The crude plant extract was prepared by Soxhlet extraction method.Results: Both Ethanolic and Aqueous extracts showed their maximum efficiencies in the dissolution of calcium oxalate crystals. Ethanolic extract was even more efficient than Aqueous extract in the dissolution of calcium oxalate crystals. Our results have clearly indicated that the Aqueous and Ethanolic leaf extracts of Chlorisbarbata were quite promising for further studies in this regard. In this study, Neeri was used as standard drug.Conclusion: This study has given primary evidence for Chloris barbata as the plant which possess antiurolithiatic property

    Healthcare Facilities: Another Target for Ransomware Attacks

    Get PDF
    Ransomware is a type of malware used by cyber criminals who encrypt files and then extort money in return for unlocking those files. Without adequate disaster recovery and backup plans, many businesses are forced to pay the ransom. We examine recent ransomware infections in healthcare settings, the liabilities and cost associated with such infections, and discuss possible risk mitigation tactics. Risks associated with ransomware attacks on healthcare facilities include financial, future business loss and damage to reputation. Healthcare facilities should have a disaster plan with adequate data backups and educate employees who are the usual sources of ransomware attacks

    Many works were suggested in many types of threat to achieve various benefits for search for example single keyword search, multi-keyword rated search, and so forth.  Of individuals works, multi-keyword kinds of rated search is becoming more importance because of its realistic effectiveness.  We submit a great search method which draws on the tree above encoded cloud information, and it also manages multi-keyword search furthermore to dynamic process on selection of documents.  For acquiring of high search effectiveness, we produce a tree-based index structure and propose an formula using the index tree. The forecasted plan is called to provide multi-keyword query furthermore to a particular result ranking, in addition dynamic update above document collections. Due to important structure of tree-based index, forecasted search system will effectively get sub-straight line search serious amounts of manage the operation of deletion furthermore to insertion of documents
