LEARNING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND ITS IMPLEMENTATION

As the world is moving towards autonomous technology and every aspect of human lives is influenced by technology so does the academics andacademic institutions, learning management systems work in academic institutes across the globe, this paper gives a comparison between differentlearning management systems and their comparative analysis, it will help any individual who wants to compare and choose the best learning managementsystem with respect to the requirements of their institute

Generalized Exponentiated Moment Exponential Distribution

Moment distributions have a vital role in mathematics and statistics, in particular in probability theory, in the perspective research related to ecology, reliability, biomedical field, econometrics, survey sampling and in life-testing. Hasnain (2013) developed an exponentiated moment exponential (EME) distribution and discussed some of its important properties. In the present work, we propose a generalization of EME distribution which we call it generalized EME (GEME) distribution and develop various properties of the distribution. We also present characterizations of the distribution in terms of conditional expectation as well as based on hazard function of the GEME random variable

Outcome in Surgically Treated Patients with Dorsal and Dorsolumbar Spinal Tuberculosis: A Retrospective Study of 40 Cases

Objective:  To determine the influence of disease severity and surgical treatment in patients with dorsal and dorsolumbar spinal tuberculosis with severe neurological deficit. Methods:  In this retrospective study (2005 – 2009) medical records of all patients with dorsal and dorsolumbar spinal tuberculosis treated surgically by Zafar Iqbal were analyzed. The clinical features, disease severity, operative procedures and outcome and factors affecting outcome were analyzed. Results:  A total of 42 patients with dorsal and dorsolumbar spinal tuberculosis with severe neurological deficit were treated surgically during this period. Two patients had follow-up of less than 3 months and were excluded from this study. Their age ranged from 18 to 65 years, with a mean age of 31 years. Male to female ratio was 3:2. Presenting symptoms were local pain in 34 (85%), radicular pain in 5 (12.5%),  Conclusion:  This study indicates that a significant proportion of patients with spinal tuberculosis and severe motor deficits get remarkable improvement after surgical decompression and hence should undergo surgery even though they may be suffering from paraplegia of considerable duration. We found that age less than 50 years, radical surgery and spasticity are favourable prognostic factors

Retracted: Diagnostic Dilemma of a Diaphragmatic Hernia

Diaphragmatic hernia post esophagectomy is a rare complication but a reality in its existence. It is typically difficult to diagnose but highly depends on keeping high index of suspicion. In our case report, the young male who underwent esophagectomy for esophageal carcinoma, remained disease free and stable in his 9 months follow up, suddenly presented in the emergency department with the symptoms of shortness of breath, chest pain, vomiting and tachycardia. The case was typically complicated by the initial treatment given for acute ischemia and cardiogenic shock. Radiological findings proved to be helpful and turning point in the diagnosis and overall management

Solitary infantile myofibromatosis of the skull

This is the report of a 6 months old boy presenting with a firm, solitary mass on the temporal region, associated with lysis of local bone. Investigations lead to a diagnosis of infantile myofibromatosis (IM). Wide local excision was performed. At one year follow-up, no recurrence was noted

17β-Hy­droxy-17α-(hy­droxy­meth­yl)estr-4-en-3-one

The title compound, C19H28O3, the fungal-transformed metabolite of the steroid methyl­oestrenol contains four fused rings A, B, C and D. Ring A adopts a half-chair and the trans-fused rings B and C adopt chair confirmations; the five-membered D ring is folded like an envelope. In the crystal, adjacent mol­ecules are linked by O—H⋯Ocarbon­yl and O—H⋯Ohy­droxy hydrogen bonds into a layer structure
