INSERTION METHOD USING MUSIC NOTES

Communication signals are openly available as they are propagated. Secured transmission is always a question and various methods are devised.  Use of music notes is not in wide use in encryption of data. Any musical note consists of seven basic keys. In this paper we propose an insertion method with the seven music keys are used as a tool of encryption

A prospective study of comparison between transvaginal sonogram and histopathological examination in perimenopausal women with abnormal uterine bleeding

Background: Abnormal uterine bleeding is one of the most frequently encountered conditions in gynaecology practice and forms about 10% of all gynaecological admissions, the main concern in perimenopausal bleeding is that the bleeding could be the only external manifestation of many hidden serious pathologies of uterine-cavity. The objective of this study was to compare the results of transvaginal sonography (TVS) and drug and cosmetic (D and C) with histopathological examination (HPE) report of hysterectomy specimen in perimenopausal women with AUB.Methods: A prospective comparative study where 100 perimenopausal women with AUB were subjected to TVS then D and C and then the results were compared with histopathological report of the hysterectomized specimen.Results: With an endometrial thickness less than or equal to 15 mm the histopathology report is normal endometrium. When the endometrial thickness more than or equal to 15 mm the histopathology report is hyperplasia or carcinoma. Findings of TVS correlated well with histopathological report after hysterectomy. 14 cases of adenomyosis, 16 cases of myomatous polyp, and 6 cases of endometrial polyp missed by dilatation and curettage.Conclusions: TVS is a simple, non-invasive test to indirectly visualize the endometrial cavity and is useful as a first step diagnostic procedure in the evaluation of perimenopausal bleeding. Dilatation and curettage lags in detecting adenomyosis, endometrial and myomatous polyps, When TVS combined with dilatation and curettage, it can supplement the shortcomings of dilatation and curettage

The Effectiveness of Mulligan Mobilization Versus Stretching on the Management of Piriformis Syndrome: A Comparative study

BACKROUND OF THE STUDY: Low back pain is a leading cause of disability. It occurs in similar proportions in all cultures, interferes with quality of life and work performance and is the most common reason for medical consultations. Only a few cases of back pain are due to specific causes; most cases are non-specific. Low back pain may results from trauma, osteoporotic fractures, infection, neoplasm’s and other mechanical derangements. METHODOLOGY: In this experimental study, 30 patients with Piriformis syndrome were selected and divided into two groups. One group was given only Piriformis stretching for the tightened muscle and the other group given Mulligan mobilization for lumbo sacral joints. VAS and oswestry disability index were taken to compare before and after the treatment regime of 4 weeks. The baseline measurement was compared to the Data. RESULTS: Both the groups had decrease of pain in VAS score, but the group A had more decrease of pain and improvement in function. In both the groups, the statistical result was found to be P<0.0001 which means there is a significant differences between the two groups. CONCLUSION: This study found that the reduction of pain and improvement of function were seen in both the groups but the Mulligan’s Mobilization in group A was more effective than Stretching i.e. group B

EFFICIENT EYE BLINK COMMUNICATION ASSISTANCE FOR PARALYZED PATIENTS

The research study presents a real time method based on some video and image processing algorithms for eye blink detection to voice conversion. The motivation of this study is to help the disabled people who cannot communicate with human. The Haar Cascade Classifier is used for face and eye recognition to gain details about the eyes and facial axes. In comparison, the same classifier is used to assess the relation among the senses like eye and axis of the face to position the eye based on haar like features. This proposes an effective eye detection system which uses the sensed face location. An efficient eye detection method is proposed which uses the position of detected face. Finally, an eye blink detection method is done based on eyelids movement whether it is open or closed and is used for controlling mobile phones. The study have designed a very low-priced device that coverts the eye blinks to voice message with more accuracy compared to existing system. The eye blinks that are detected can be helpful in applications such as health assistance, S.O.S, basic utility. Test results show that our proposed system for a distance of 35cm delivers a overall accuracy of 98% and a detection accuracy of 98

Genetic diversity analysis using molecular marker in Terminalia chebula

Terminalia chebula is an important medicinal plant, extensively used in Ayurveda, Unani and Homoeopathic medicines. The present study was aimed to reveal its genetic diversity based on molecular markers from twelve T. chebula accessions. Molecular diversity was studied using RAPD markers. A total of 8 polymorphic primers produced 314 polymorphic bands and 195 monomorphic bands. Unweighted Pair Group Method with Arithmetic Mean (UPMGA) dendrogram divided the accessions into 2 major clusters. Accession IIHRTc2 and IIHRTc10 showed maximum genetic diversity with 55% similarity. This characterization based on molecular markers will help in identification of economically useful accessions for further crop improvement programme

Decarboxylative Benzylations of Alkynes and Ketones

This document is the Accepted Manuscript version of a Published Work that appeared in final form in the Journal of the American Chemical Society, copyright © American Chemical Society after peer review and technical editing by the publisher. To access the final edited and published work see http://doi.org/:10.1021/ja1035557.Utilization of palladium π-benzyl complexes in cross-coupling reactions is becoming increasingly important in organic synthesis.1 However, methods for benzylic cross-couplings typically rely on the use of basic reagents or preformed organometallics. For example, Buchwald reported the cross-coupling of benzyl halides with alkynes using stoichiometric Cs2CO3; unfortunately, the basic reaction conditions often induce isomerization of the product benzylic alkynes to isomeric allenes.2 Negishi reported the benzylic cross-coupling with acetylides via stoichiometric alkynyl zinc bromides that must be prepared from ZnBr2.3 Not only do these methods require stoichiometric bases or organometallics, but they also utilize benzyl halides that are expensive, hazardous, and more difficult to handle than related benzyl alcohol derivatives. Legros, Kuwano and others have reported catalytic benzylation of stabilized nucleophiles using activated benzylic alcohol derivatives.4 While benzylations of highly stabilized enolates (pKa ~ 10-13),4a-d phenols (pKa ~ 10),4e and arene sulfinates (pKa ~ 7)4f have been successful, the reaction of less stabilized nucleophiles has proven difficult.5 Since we have previously developed decarboxylative coupling strategies that allow allylation of nonstabilized nucleophiles without the use of an external base or organometallic, we hypothesized that a similar strategy might allow decarboxylative coupling of benzylic esters with nonstabilized nucleophiles (eq. 1).5-

Effectiveness of Free Maternal Healthcare Programme Under the Successful Delivery Programme in Jigawa State, Nigeria

In the state effort reduce the number of maternal death, a free child and maternal healthcare programme were introduced called Successful delivery. This main aim of this research is to evaluate if women registered with the programme had a better chance of accessing the services in the state. A cross- sectional quantitative study involving household interviews of all women of the reproductive age group (15–49 years) residing in Jigawa state from February to April 2019. Logistic regression analysis at 95% confidence interval was used to determine the independent associations between the scheme and use of antenatal care, hospital delivery and postnatal care services. Successful delivery program influenced the antenatal care visit as women registered with the schemes are more likely to have maximum of six visit 39.5 times than those who did not and also more likely to have four visit 2.6 times than those without scheme. Hospital delivery is also attached to the scheme as women registered with the scheme is 5.3 times likely to deliver at hospital when compared to those with not. Successful delivery program influence antenatal care visit and hospital base delivery. Nevertheless many of the pregnant women after delivery did not attend postnatal care

Pattern and Utilization of Maternal Health Services in Jigawa State, Nigeria

One of the important goals of launching the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) is maternal health. Nigeria was not able to achieved the target of reduction the maternal mortality as set by MDGs as a target. Nigeria has 37 state and Jigawa state is one of those state. The state has poor indices of health indicator, the maternal mortality is high and also antenatal visit in the state is not encouraging. The objective of the study was to find out the degree (extent) of the usage of the services of the maternal health care and to examine the role of socio-demographic variables and antenatal visit on the uses of the services of maternal health system available in the state. Logistic regression (Binary), chi- square, and bivariate analysis were used and the study used the data collected from the state ministry of health. The study utilized the data for two year (2017-2018) . The finding of this study revealed that socio-economic factors greatly influence the uses of maternal health care services. Level of education (Women’s education) influences the maternal health care utilization. The study found that, the hospital based delivery, antenatal care visit utilization and seeking service after delivery varies among the women with the different level of education, age at marriage, women’s age and residence of women. The study revealed that, the women’s with the high level of education (literate) is 2 times compared to illiterate women likely to use antenatal services (OR=1.97, ANC1.95, full ANC p&lt;0.01), also in terms of hospital delivery literate women is (OR=1.52, p&lt;0.01) or 1.53 times. Women’s education encouragement and support should be advocated because is one among the many strategies to improve the utilisation of the services of maternal health
