Implementation of Crop Simulation Model for Malwa Region Punjab

Pattern of antibiotics usage in a community hospital of Malwa region of Punjab, India.

To assess the pattern of antibiotic utilisation and outcome of patients with bacteraemia in the hospital. All positive blood cultures (BC) over a 12-month period from January 2011 to December 2011 were retrospectively reviewed. Positive BC were recorded in 54 patients. 51.9% of the patients received antibiotics before or soon after obtaining the BC, and ceftriaxone was the most frequently-presc...

Micro-cantilever Sensors for Detection of Pesticide Contents in the Water-table of Malwa Region in Punjab

Biosensors based on microcantilevers have become a promising tool for directly detecting biomolecular interactions with great accuracy. Microcantilevers translate molecular recognition of biomolecules into nanomechanical motion that is commonly coupled to an optical or piezoresistive read-out detector system. Biosensors based on cantilevers are a good example of how nanotechnology and biotechno...
