Competing risks methodology is being increasingly applied to cause of mortality data as a way of obtaining real world probabilities of mortality broken down by specific causes. For example, cancer patients with cardiovascular and other comorbidities are at concurrent risk of multiple adverse events. Regression models are employed to understand and exploit the relationship between the lifetime variable and the covariates. The most widely used regression models in competing risks are proportional because specific hazard model and proportional sub distribution hazard model. These models are frequently used in literatures and many authors have tried to differentiate and interpret both the models in different way. Several modeling approaches are available to evaluate the relationship of covariates to cause-specific failures with competing ris...

Today by accepting finances from the common public, the universities are establishing a norm, which would ensure involvement of the society in the ownership and management of the universities. No particular individual but a group of well meaning, conscious and financially well off people would control or manage the university. In a world of competition and global economy, the growing requirements of society are posing universities have started offering special packages and collaborative programmes. To maintain quality and to ensure marketability the universities can no longer depend on funds and resources received from the governments. Hence the need for self-financed courses in professional disciplines. By charging higher fees for professional course like M.B.A. & I.T. the universities would be able to achieve their objectives viz., Thus, by running self-financed courses and by earning money from the well - off students, the universities would be able to produce quality education and meet the demands / expectations of the society. As a matter of fact, the universities would depend on donors for the development of infrastructure required for running the self-financed courses. Most of the money they would they would earn by way of getting fees from the students would be spent on maintenance and the balance money would be invested for further development only. The universities then would not be profiteering organizations in the sense business is. The profit it would earn would be used for the betterment of society in a philanthropic spirit only. Can we call the United Nations a profiteering organization? It accepts huge donations from rich countries, sells booked and journals, but all the money earned is spent on the needy and poor countries of the world. The same logic holds true for a university.

Exclusion Criteria • Females under 20 years and above 40 years of age. • Females with BMI more than 22 and less than 30. • Patients with severe endometriosis. • Patients with Mullerian anomalies. • Patients with endometrial polyps, submucous fibroids or endometriosis. • Patients with cervical pathologies that restrict the passage of embryo transfer cannula. • Patients with uterine artery PI >3.2. 12 IntroductIon Successful implantation is a result of a positive dialogue between the endometrium and embryo. 1 For a very short time during the menstrual cycle, the endometrium allows for the implantation of gestational sac and this is referred to as endometrial receptivity. 2 There are many variables of successful implantation and those related to embryo are difficult to study inspite of all advances in technology. Molecular changes play a major role in endometrial receptivity and are also controlled by hormonal changes. These reflect as changes in endometrial morphology and vascularity. Transvaginal ultrasonography is universally accepted and most extensively used noninvasive tool to assess the endometrial receptivity during assisted reproductive treatment. 3 Ultrasound is easily repeatable, yet highly reproducible, patient friendly and yet accurate modality for endometrial receptivity. 4 Assessment of blood flow as a functional dimension of endometrial receptivity along with endometrial thickness, has important role in the prediction of pregnancy outcomes FET (frozen embryo transfer) cycles. 5-7 This study is aimed to assess the impact of endometrial morphology, thickness and endometrial vascularity in pregnancy outcomes in FET cycles. MaterIals a n d Methods Study Design This is retrospective cross-sectional study. Total 235 patients undergoing frozen embryo transfers (FET) in our centre from December 2019 to December 2020 were recruited for the study. The study was approved by the institutional ethical committee. Inclusion Criteria • Females between 20 and 40 years of age.

Patients and methods: This is a retrospective study done on 50 patients,in which RI and PI of intratesticular vessels of both sides were calculated by Colour Doppler Ultrasound(CDUS). Results were statistically analysed to find out the cut-off of RI and PI values for spermatogenesis to occur normally.Their relation with presence of varicocele and History of Abortion was also studied. Results: Individuals with normal sperm counts had mean (SD) RI <0.62 mean (SD) PI <1.04. Those with abnormal pathological sperm counts had mean (SD) RI=>0.62 mean (SD) PI=>1.04 Conclusion: These results suggest that CDUS RI and PI parameter can be used as supportive predictor for spermatogenesis and infertility

This study was done to evaluate whether the vascularity of the endometrium is also predictive of prognosis of pregnancy. Materials and methods: In total, 850 patients undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) and frozen embryo transfer were recruited for the study. Endometrial preparation was done by artificial cycle protocol in all by estradiol valerate. Evaluation of the endometrium for its thickness and its vascularity as seen on B-mode ultrasound, power Doppler (PD), and pulsed-wave Doppler. Endometrial volume (EV) was calculated by threedimensional (3D) ultrasound and virtual organ computer-aided analysis (VOCAL) and after acquiring volume of the endometrium with PD. A quantitative assessment of the global vascularity of the endometrium was done by 3D PD to calculate vascularity index (VI), flow index (FI), and vascularity flow index (VFI) for the endometrium. Post-embryo transfer, β-hCG was checked for confirmation of pregnancy in all the patients on day 14 after the embryo transfer, and in all positive cases, ultrasound was done after 10 days of positive β-hCG. All patients with pregnancy were followed up by ultrasound for the entire first trimester and abortions were documented. Results: Patients with endometrial vascularity in zones 3 and 4, RI < 0.6, had a high conception rate and low miscarriage rate with EV of <1.5 mL, not a single pregnancy was noted. If the endometrial FI before the trigger for ovulation is between 37 and 41 and endometrial VFI was between 25 and 27, not only there are significantly higher chances of leading to conception, but these values also carry a high chance of ongoing pregnancy.

All patients having transvaginal scans (TVSs) at our center were included and patient having fluid in endometrium, polyp, fibroid, and pregnancy were excluded. Two-dimensional measurements of uterine length, endometrial length, effective endometrial length, endometrial thickness, and endometrial breadth in transverse section were taken. Endometrial volume was taken by 3D ultrasound software VOCAL with rotational step of 9°. A multivariate regression analysis was carried out using Excel add in stat tool software, and the 2D parameters taken were correlated with the volume obtained by VOCAL, and an equation for volume is also derived with the same multivariate regression and compared with the volume obtained by VOCAL. The analysis shows that the equation is significant as R 2 (coefficient of determination) is significant (F statistics is 39.26 whose p value is <0.0001), and almost all the regression coefficients are significant except that for endo breadth in transverse section. R 2 = 0.5241 indicates that almost 52% of the variation in the endometrial volume has been explained by the considered independent variables in the equation. The scatterplot graph (Fig. 1) shows a positive relationship, and no outlier is observed. Also, the residue is normally distributed which is observed in the graph. The residual graph follows normality assumption and so the equation is applicable (Fig. 2). According to these results, the most correlating 2D parameters with 3D calculated endometrial volume were endometrial length and endometrial thickness. This also conveys that when endometrium is evaluated by 2D ultrasound for its receptivity, it is essential to include endometrial length along with endometrial thickness for better prediction or evaluation of endometrial receptivity.

The aim of this is to document the craniofacial characteristics and sex differences from cephalic index and facial index of the studied groups. Maximum head length, maximum head width, morphological facial length and morphological facial width were determined for 901 Gujarati (676 male, 225 female) and 300 Non-Gujarati (100 male, 100 female) of Gujarat, India. The standard deviation of cephalic and facial index of Gujarati is 5.3345 and 6.0040 and of Non-Gujarati is 7.3472 and 6.0525 respectively. The mean cephalic index and facial index in study were 77.20 and 75.19 respectively in Gujarati and 74.13 and 75.17 respectively in Non-Gujarati. According to the cephalic index Gujarati subjects (40.2% males, 42.7% females) mainly belongs to mesocephalic and dolicocephalic and Non-Gujarati subjects belongs to dolicocephalic (80% males) and brachycephalic (30% females). According to the total facial index both the studied groups are mainly distributed into hypereuryprosopic followed by euryprosopic types of the face.
