Singing and Speaking Voice Characteristics of Trans MtF
Abstract: Compared to other developed countries, in India, the transgender community are often overlooked as a non-existent community. These individuals are considered cursed, punished and therefore are forced to remain completely uninvolved in important matters of the society. Among all of the existing problems already faced by this community, misidentification of their gender based on the voice is a matter of concern. Among this group, most of them are engaged in …

Correlation of Formant Centralization Ratio with Perceptual Measures of Dysarthria Speech
Abstract: Poor speech intelligibility is one of the main concerns in dysarthria speech. Speech intelligibility can be measured using different methods. Formant centralization ratio (FCR) is one of the quantitative methods of finding speech intelligibility based on acoustical measures. The present study aims to find if there is any correlation between FCR and perceptual measures of intelligibility. There were six subjects including four males and two females as participants for the …

Estimation of Fibrinogen and Factor VIII level in Fresh Frozen Plasma as a Quality Assurance Activity: Study in Blood Bank
Abstract: Introduction: In blood bank, as per standard guidelines for quality assurance, 1% of total number of FFP (Fresh Frozen Plasma) or 4 units of FFP per month are analysed for two coagulation factors, i.e., Factor VIII and Fibrinogen. These activities ensure reduction of risk and the availability of high quality blood and blood components to patients. Material and Methods: The data was collected from Smt. S. R. Mehta & Kikabhai …

The Detection of Virulence Associated Genes of E. coli O157:H7 by Multiplex PCR
Abstract: An easy and quick system is desirable to detect toxin-producing strains in view of the importance E. coli serotype O157:H7 in human diseases. We report standardization of a multiplex polymerase chain reaction (mPCR) test for simultaneous identification of four significant genes related with the life form E. coli O157:H7 viz, stx 1, stx 2, eae A, hly. An alongside an internal amplification control (IAC). The mPCR technique created in the …

Evaluation of Prothrombin Time (PT) and Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (APTT) Reagents on ECL 760 Coagulation Analyzer
Abstract: Prothrombin time (PT) and activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) are two essential coagulation screening tests in various critical disorders including cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. Due to its criticality, accurate assessment of both the parameters are essential and fully automated coagulation analyzers like Erba ECL 760 can be of instrument of choice in this situation. The plasma collected from sodium citrated whole blood is preferred sample for coagulation analysis on fully …
