    METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DYNAMICALLY ISSUING A PAYMENT ACCOUNT

    Get PDF
    The present disclosure relates to a method and system for dynamically issuing a payment account. The method for account issuance includes receiving a template request for a card template including one or more card parameters. In response to the request, further, the method may include generating the card template based on the one or more card parameters. Furthermore, the method may include storing the card template under a card template identification. Thereafter, receiving a card request for a new card object including the card template identification. Based on the determination that the card template identification matches the received card template identification, the method may include applying the one or more card parameters to the new card object and instantiating a new card object including the one or more card parameters

    Activation of aerial oxygen to superoxide radical by carbon nano tube of aerosol trapped in indoor spider web

    Get PDF
    Domestic spider webs trap partly burnt combustion contaminants in indoor floating aerosols. These are shown to possess defective carbon nanotube particulates containing very stable carbon centred free radical. When inhaled the carbon radical readily activates aerial oxygen to superoxide radical, thus demonstrating the possibility of spontaneous intracellular generation of reactive oxygen species in intact cells

    Adrenocortical carcinoma with contralateral renal metastases and tumor thrombus: A case report

    Get PDF
    Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is a rare aggressive malignancy. ACC with renal vein or inferior vena cava (IVC) thrombus is very rare. ACC with contralateral renal metastasis with renal vein thrombus has never been reported. Here we report first such case in the literature where a 40-year-old male presented with right flank pain and weight loss. Definitive reoperative diagnosis failed to be established. Intraoperatively, there was right adrenal mass with left renal vein thrombus invading its wall and extending upto IVC. Right adrenalectomy with left radical nephrectomy with thrombectomy was done. On cut specimen, there was a small mass lesion in the left kidney (upper pole). The diagnosis of ACC with left renal metastasis and renal vein tumor thrombus was confirmed by pathological and immune-histochemical examination. We faced various perioperative challenges in our case. Care must be taken in  preoperative diagnostics, intraoperative planning, and postoperative management as ACC may present with contralateral renal metastasis and tumor thrombus.&nbsp

    Morphological Evaluation and Grading of Human Embryo Quality from Day - 1 to Day - 3 Embryos for Optimum Conceiving Rate

    A grading system of human embryo is very important for embryo selection & predicting blastocyst formation from day - 1, day 2, & day – 3, were sequentially explained. We were designed a methods for grading of embryos from day – 1 (zygote as a pronuclear evaluation, PN), day – 2 (cleavage stage) and day - 3 (evaluation of developmental stage according to cell size and fragmentation) embryo according to cell size and degree of fragmentation and early compaction. In the first grading system pronuclear study and poly-spermy, Second grading system is based on the blastomere / cell number and the observation of fragmentation pattern and selection for embryo transfer, embryos vitrification and pregnancy outcome. Assessment of embryo quality in order to select the embryos that have higher chance to give pregnancy, it is critical goal in IVF cycle or assisted reproductive technologies. ET current trend in human infertility treatment with IVF / ICSI embryo transfer (IVF / ICSI ET) is to increase the chance of higher pregnancy and reduce the multiple pregnancies after multiple embryo transfer according to patient age and endometrium thickness as well as own ART Laboratory protocol. Morphological evaluation & grading of human embryo as a reliable and no-invasive method that provides valuable information & prediction of IVF/ICSI embryos which has developmental potential to reach till early compaction or blastocyst. This research paper describes the current status of morphological embryo evaluation from zygote to eight cell blastomeres or early compaction on late day 3. We found higher embryo development potential and early compaction during in-vitro embryo culture conditions and higher implantation rate in Grade A embryos in comparison transferred of Grade B embryos. Overall embryo development in-vitro and conceiving rate was seen 48.06 % after embryo transfer of both grades A and Grade B embryos in 233 patients in different age group with different endometrium thickness and multiple embryos transfer in one uterus depend on patient previous history. 935Embryos was selected from 2702 developing embryos for embryo transfer (ET) was performed in 233 patients. After this study we found implantation rate (IR) was 48.06% based on embryo quality, morphology and grade.</p

    Knowledge, attitudes, and practices related to antibiotic use in Paschim Bardhaman District: A survey of healthcare providers in West Bengal, India

    IntroductionAntibiotic misuse is widespread and contributes to antibiotic resistance, especially in less regulated health systems such as India. Although informal providers are involved with substantial segments of primary healthcare, their level of knowledge, attitudes, and practices is not well documented in the literature.ObjectivesThis quantitative study systematically examines the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of informal and formal providers with respect to antibiotic use.MethodsWe surveyed a convenience sample of 384 participants (96 allopathic doctors, 96 nurses, 96 informal providers, and 96 pharmacy shopkeepers) over a period of 8 weeks from December to February using a validated questionnaire developed in Italy. Our team created an equivalent, composite KAP score for each respondent in the survey, which was subsequently compared between providers. We then performed a multivariate logistic regression analysis to estimate the odds of having a low composite score (ResultsDoctors scored highest in questions assessing knowledge (77.3%) and attitudes (87.3%), but performed poorly in practices (67.6%). Many doctors knew that antibiotics were not indicated for viral infections, but over 87% (n = 82) reported prescribing them in this situation. Nurses, pharmacy shopkeepers, and informal providers were more likely to perform poorly on the survey compared to allopathic doctors (OR: 10.4, 95% CI 5.4, 20.0, pConclusionsOur findings indicate poor knowledge and awareness of antibiotic use and functions among informal health providers, and dissonance between knowledge and practices among allopathic doctors. The nexus between allopathic doctors, pharmaceutical company representatives, and informal health providers present promising avenues for future research and intervention
