Prophylactic corticosteroids in singleton preterm pregnancies accelerate lung maturation and reduce the incidence of respiratory complications. Thus, the aim of this randomized controlled trial was to assess the effect of antenatal corticosteroids on neonatal outcome among term pregnant women undergoing elective caesarean section.Methods: It was an open labelled randomized controlled trial conducted among women with term pregnancy of 37-38+6 weeks and planned for caesarean section at term and who were willing to participate in the study. We randomized 50 pregnant women into intervention group which received antenatal corticosteroids in the form of injection dexamethasone 12 mg IM, 4 doses at 12 hourly intervals before term elective caesarean section and 50 pregnant women into control group which did not receive antenatal corticosteroid. Fetal o...

A defect in a casting deteriorates casting surface quality and mechanical properties. It is responsible for loss of profitability, quality level and productivity of component. Hence it is preferably necessary to reduce it as much as possible by appropriate analysis. As far as the casting with thick sections are concerned, finding the Hot Spot is very important, asMost of the casting defects occur due to " Hot spot " which is the part of casting that gets solidified last. This paper presents case study carried out in local foundry over Bearing Housing to minimize casting rejection due to major defects like blow hole and shrinkage cavities. Study is focused on route cause analysis of Blow holes and shrinkage cavities defect which contribute heavypercentage of rejection.The objective of this research is to optimize gating system by using simulation software with proper location of Feedaids like Riser, vent holes , chills and insulating sleeves based on pictorial results based on CAD and simulation tools with the goal of improving casting quality and increasing casting yield

In modern automotive internal combustion engines, the connecting rods are usually made of steel for production engines, but can be made of aluminum (for lightness and the ability to absorb high impact at the expense of durability). Connecting rods are traditionally produced in ferrous metals by forging or high pressure die casting method of production. There are various reasons for failure of connecting rod as fatigue, gudgeon pin failure, over revving, and hydrolock. Casting defects like micro segregation of gas porosity, air entrapment, metal lap may leads to fatigue crack initiation and crack propagation and sudden catastrophic failure of rod. Here attempt is made...

Two vaccines, ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 coronavirus vaccine (recombinant), i.e., COVISHIELD produced by Serum Institute of India and COVAXIN developed indigenously by Bharat Biotech, were given emergency use authorisation (EUA) by the DCGI. Methods In this cohort study, we assessed the incidence, pattern and severity of adverse events following immunization (AEFI) observed among the healthcare workers of a large tertiary care institute in eastern U.P., India vaccinated with ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 Coronavirus vaccine (recombinant) within 30 minutes of vaccination by direct observation. Results Out of the total 836 healthcare workers who were vaccinated with the first dose of the vaccine, around 10% experienced any AEFI within the directly observed period. The most common AEFI was pain/tenderness at the injection site experienced by 59.3% of those who experienced any AEFI followed by headache/dizziness (35.3%), itching/rashes at the injection site (8.1%), nausea/vomiting (5.8%) and fever/chills (4.7%). The majority (95.3%) of the AEFIs observed were of minor severity with no serious AEFIs observed as per the WHO severity classification. Conclusion ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 Coronavirus vaccine (recombinant) is proven to be safe based on our findings as the majority of AEFIs observed were of minor grade only. However, the vaccine beneficiaries should be strictly observed for a minimum of 30 minutes at the vaccination site to look for any serious AEFI with arrangements to manage the same.

Anaemia play a major role in affecting the adolescents especially girls. On September 2019, Ministry of Health and Family welfare, Govt. of India directed to all state and district health authority to conduct Test, Treat and Talk (T-3) anaemia camps for celebration of nutrition month (Poshan Maah) in all government schools and colleges. The present study aimed to assess prevalence of anaemia and factors associated with it among school going adolescent girls attending T-3 camp in Delhi. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 203 adolescent girls in government girls' school in central district of Delhi. Hb estimation was done by HemoCue 201 and data regarding socio-demographic details, deworming, dietary preferences were collected. Clinical examination and anthropometric measurements were done by resident doctors. Data was analysed using STATA vs. 13. Results: The prevalence of anaemia was found to be 59% with mean (±SD) Hb of 11.3 gm/dl (±1.55) among 203 participants. The majority (48%, n = 119) of anaemic girls had mild degree of anaemia. Among 203 girls, 65% participants were of age 14–15 years with mean (±SD) age of 14.6 years (±1.18). There was a significant relationship between anaemia and diet, deworming status, and BMI (P < 0.05). Conclusion: The study revealed that anaemia was highly prevalent among adolescent girls. Among anaemic girls, majority had mild anaemia. Factors like vegetarian diet, underweight, deworming and presence of pallor were found to be associated with anaemia. There is need to conduct T-3 camps at regular interval in all schools to curb the problem of adolescent anaemia.

Casting is a defect prone manufacturing process. A variety of defects measuring from 36% of the total casting produced are commonly in the acceptable level. Metal casting industries are continuously exposed to ever increasing demands regarding their competitiveness, sound quality products as well as in developing their specific casting process. The casting development process for a new product was in the past determined within the foundry using "personal experience" as well as "shop floor trial and error”. In order to achieve continuo...

Besides, it is always desired that the yield of casting is maximized against the volume of feeder/riser accommodated to meet the solidification shrinkage requirement.In this article an optimization framework is presented based on CAD and simulation. During metallurgical process, it induces casting defects like shrinkage, porosity and hot tears. To eradicate and eliminate these problems, appropriate design of casting and methoding is necessary. The problems can be predicted and prevented by means of computer simulation of casting solidification [7] .With practical approach oversized feeders have normally been designed and tested on shop floor. This consumes lot of time and resources. Thus, there is a need for computer aided optimal feeder design coupled with solidification simulation so as to reduce the no. of the shopfloor trials and obtain enhanced yield and high quality, in minimal possible time.The simulated results are more or less similar with experimental results [1]. The combined program enables foundry engineers to seamlessly carry out 3-D methods design, advanced coupled simulation, defects prediction, and casting optimization within an extremely user-friendly environment [3] In this article experimentally it is observed that shrinkage cavity has shifted towards the feeder whereas it remained at the center of non-feeder part. Hence use of simulation helped in locating the optimum position and size of the feeder required [9] .It is concluded that the selection of proper feeder affects the quality of casting and from casting simulation casting products can be develop very fast and time required in development of cast parts will be less.

It has become an inevitable part of day to day life. This paper discusses a modern approach towards the way the data is transferred to and fro in the USB mass storage devices using a computer. The aim of the proposed system is to remove the every time need of the computer for the data transfer. To do so, the system uses an independent solution for the problem – USB to USB Bridge. The concept of the bridge will make it possible to carry out the mass data transfer anywhere, anytime. The bridge is built around the ARM9 processor to accommodate all the requirements that the end users may want. The portability and small foot print are the major advantages of the bridge. It is an embedded solution to a practical problem.
