A study on prevalance of prostatomegaly and Its correlation with duration and glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus
INTRODUCTION:
Patients with type 2 diabetes are more prone to be diagnosed with benign prostatic hyperplasia than general male population. Abnormalities of glucose homeostasis plays a role in causation of benign prostatic hyperplasia by influencing the proliferation rate of prostrate cells.
AIMS AND OBJECTIVES:
1. To study the prevalence of prostatomegalyin patients with type 2 diabetes.
2. To study the effect of prostatomegaly and its complications with the duration and glycemic control in type 2 diabetic patients.
MATERIALS AND METHODS:
Among 100 patients attending Diabetology OP department and Institute of Internal medicine, an observational study was done for a period of 6 months. These patients were selected based on the inclusion criteria – type 2 diabetes in the age group of 40- 60 years and exclusion criteria- known case of benign prostatic hyperplasia and prostatic carcinoma.
Demographic data and medical history were obtained from the patients and they were subjected to blood sugar estimations (FBS / PPBS), HBA1c, serum prostate specific antigen (for selected patients), ultrasound of pelvis.
RESULTS:
Out of 100 diabetic patients involved in the study, 51% patients had prostatomegalyand out of 51 patients with prostatomegaly, 27 patients had lower urinary tract symptoms (52%). Among patients with diabetes for a duration more than10 years, 63% had prostatomegaly. Similarly, patients with poor glycemic profile had higher prevalence of prostatomegaly compared to general population.
CONCLUSION:
It has become evident from our study that, the presence of prostatomegaly correlates well with the glycemic profile and the duration of diabetes with the prevalence being increased in the age group of 40-60 years
A high resolution, hard x-ray photoemission investigation of La_(2-2x)Sr_(1+2x)Mn_2O_7 (0.30<x<0.50): on microscopic phase separation and the surface electronic structure of a bilayered CMR manganite
Photoemission data taken with hard x-ray radiation on cleaved single crystals
of the bilayered, colossal magnetoresistant manganite La_(2-2x)Sr_(1+2x)Mn_2O_7
(LSMO) with 0.30<x<0.50 are presented. Making use of the increased
bulk-sensitivity upon hard x-ray excitation it is shown that the core level
footprint of the electronic structure of the LSMO cleavage surface is identical
to that of the bulk. Furthermore, by comparing the core level shift of the
different elements as a function of doping level x, it is shown that
microscopic phase separation is unlikely to occur for this particular manganite
well above the Curie temperature.Comment: 7 pages, 5 figure
Development of the Magnetic Excitations of Charge-Stripe Ordered La(2-x)Sr(x)NiO(4) on Doping Towards Checkerboard Charge Order
The magnetic excitation spectrums of charge stripe ordered La(2-x)Sr(x)NiO(4)
x = 0.45 and x = 0.4 were studied by inelastic neutron scattering. We found the
magnetic excitation spectrum of x = 0.45 from the ordered Ni^2+ S = 1 spins to
match that of checkerboard charge ordered La(1.5)Sr(0.5)NiO(4). The distinctive
asymmetry in the magnetic excitations above 40 meV was observed for both doping
levels, but an additional ferromagnetic mode was observed in x = 0.45 and not
in the x = 0.4. We discuss the origin of crossover in the excitation spectrum
between x = 0.45 and x = 0.4 with respect to discommensurations in the charge
stripe structure.Comment: 4 Figures. To be appear in the J. Kor. Phys. Soc. as a proceedings

Social and Political Consciousness in Nayantara Sahgal’s This Time of Morning
The present paper deals with the socio-political issues encountered after independent India represented in Nayantara Sahgal’s novel, This Time of Morning. On the one hand, the study explores the conflict of ideas between power hungry and crafty politicians and ideal and national conscious politicians. It explicates disillusionment about the functioning of democratic institutions, the calibre of the new leaders. The erosion of moral values in politics found their articulation in her fiction. On the other hand, the novel reveals the perception of marriage of both traditional woman and new woman. In a nutshell, it deals with the theme of the conflict between idealism and materialism in post independent India’s political world and tradition and modernism in the lives of man woman relationship in the society
High temperature onset of field-induced transitions in the spin-ice compound Dy2Ti2O7
We have studied the field-dependent ac magnetic susceptibility of single
crystals of Dy2Ti2O7 spin ice along the [111] direction in the temperature
range 1.8 K - 7 K. Our data reflect the onset of local spin ice order in the
appearance of different field regimes. In particular, we observe a prominent
feature at approximately 1.0 T that is a precursor of the low-temperature
metamagnetic transition out of field-induced kagome ice, below which the
kinetic constraints imposed by the ice rules manifest themselves in a
substantial frequency-dependence of the susceptibility. Despite the relatively
high temperatures, our results are consistent with a monopole picture, and they
demonstrate that such a picture can give physical insight to the spin ice
systems even outside the low-temperature, low-density limit where monopole
excitations are well-defined quasiparticles
Performance of Signal Strength prediction in Data transmission Using Elliott wave Theory
The article describes an algorithm for predicting the future signals with the aid of past signal samples. In the real signal processing environment, the amplitude and unsystematic in phase signal are lead to more complex to estimation the signal, thereby, customer service is enhanced by forecast. The forecast of financial marketplace are usually done by means of Elliot wave theory. In this article possibility and applicability survey of the EW Theory is proposed in the paper towards the power of the signal forecast. In nature, the EW theory has free declining environment, and also uncomfortable based on the customer and base station and height of the antenna. The proposed algorithm has tested in real life conditions, considering both, the pedestrian persons and the people travelling at 60 Km/Hr. Consequently, the predicted result incorporates the practical signal strength based on increasing distribution utility, signal to intervention noise ratio (SNR) and instability at their subsequent time. The end result of the algorithm shows 68% of successful prediction
