Nations within a nation: variations in epidemiological transition across the states of India, 1990–2016 in the Global Burden of Disease Study

18% of the world's population lives in India, and many states of India have populations similar to those of large countries. Action to effectively improve population health in India requires availability of reliable and comprehensive state-level estimates of disease burden and risk factors over time. Such comprehensive estimates have not been available so far for all major diseases and risk factors. Thus, we aimed to estimate the disease burden and risk factors in every state of India as part of the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) Study 2016

STUDY OF FIELD EFFECT TRANSISTORS ON LOADING WITH BIOLOGICAL MATERIAL IN ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD

The solid-state devices are very important in the instrumentation systems for various industrial, scientific and biomedical applications. With the ongoing miniaturisation trends, new devices of micro and nano sizes are now in use. Nanotechnology for the development of devices for new applications has progressed at a rapid speed in the recent past. In biomedical devices also, new types of microchips, biochips and sensing systems have been developed. Recently, the biological materials have been used in the devices like diodes, op amps, FETs. Some basic studies have been made on the physical, electrical and other properties for such devices. Acoustic stress effect and electromagnetic interference effect on the performance of solidstate devices have been reported. However, a systematic and detailed study is required to be made in biological environments. In the present work, study of solid-state devices with biological loading in RF field is pursued. FETs are chosen here, as these are very important in digital systems. The effect of loading the FET device with a biological material, in this case, bone material, is studied, the FETs use a gate element that when charged creates an electromagnetic field that changes the conductivity of a silicon channel and turns the transistor on or off. Investigations have been carried out by some of the researchers, on possible biological effects of exposure of devices to radio frequency and/or microwave radiation. The study on the influence of RF field on the performance of the devices has been of assistance to the scientific an

Pulmonary inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor: A rare entity

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is an uncommon tumor, most frequently reported in the gastrointestinal tract. It is associated with myofibroblastic proliferation along with variable amount of inflammatory infiltrate. We hereby report a young male presenting with progressive dyspnea, who was diagnosed with pulmonary IMT requiring surgical management
