Effect of Diarrhea at Admission on Time to Recovery in Treatment of Severe Acute Malnourished Children in Inpatient Therapeutic Feeding Program in Tigray Region, Ethiopia
Abstract: The mortality rate in inpatient settings remained unacceptably higher, 20–30% for marasmus and 50–60% for Kwashiorkor. This is due to inappropriate case management and co-morbidities mainly diarrhea. Despite, there was no study conducted to show the effect of diarrhea at admission on the length of time to recovery in the treatment of severe acute malnutrition among children aged 6–59 months and then there is little understanding about this issue. The …

Community-based Study, Demographic and Socio-Economic Factors Associated with TB in Rural Jaipur NIMS Hospital
Abstract: This study showed that fewer women sought care in out-patient clinics for respiratory symptoms, fewer submitted sputum for testing, and if tested, fewer were smear-positive. This implies persistent lower representation of females at the different clinical steps for TB management using DOTS at community level. These findings raise grave concerns about the gender sensitive DOTS strategy for TB control. The findings indicate that an epidemiology of TB complicated by gender …

Nitric Oxide Synthase (NOS) in Breast Carcinoma
Abstract: Breast cancer is the most alarming problem of the current time. Nitric oxide, a free radical gas is synthesized by isoenzymes called nitric oxide synthase. Nitric oxide synthase consists of three isoforms; Nitric oxide produced is cytotoxic which is known to inhibit the DNA synthesis causing its damage. Keeping this in mind, nitric oxide synthase was determined in breast cancer and normal breast tissue. For this tissue from 60 breast …

Study of Sex from Human Sternum in Cases of Medico-legal Autopsies (Between the Age Group of 10 and 50 Years)
Abstract: Determination of sex is immensely important not only for identification but also for age and stature determination as sex has got direct bearings on both of these parameters. Whenever it is possible to tell sex of skeletal remains, identification has been narrowed down by half, as missing person of only one sex needs to be considered. In this sense the identification of sex takes precedence over age. The present work …

Parameters of “Safety” in the Food Additive Industry: A Review of Risks and Benefits
Abstract: “Safety is in the eye of the beholder.” What is deemed “safe” by one observer may seem dangerous or risky to others. To approach this apparent quandary and assure ongoing scientific input, most food additives should be tested on laboratory animals and subsequently monitored if approved for human or animal consumption (i.e., parallel to the pathway for the approval of drugs). The term “safety” in the study of the toxicology …

Font-Based Text Steganography for Covert Communication in Devanagari Script: A Review (2020–2026)
Abstract: Steganography hides the fact that a communication exists rather than merely safeguarding its content. Text is the most challenging of all steganographic media because it contains the least redundancy and is the most sensitive to changes. Devanagari script, with its conjunct consonants, ligatures, matras, and non-linear glyph construction, makes these difficulties even harder, rendering rendering-dependent and OCR- based steganographic methods largely ineffective. This paper presents a systematic review of text …
