INTRODUCTION Neonatal outcomes can be directly and indirectly affected by caesarean delivery (CD). Data on CD rates in semi-urban and rural hospitals in resource-limited settings are scarce and yet are needed to better guide the care of women and neonates in these settings. we carried out this study to determine the frequency of CD, its indications and the frequency of the various adverse neona...

We present a novel adaptive oscillator, called Adaptive Natural Oscillator (ANO), to exploit the natural dynamics of a given robotic system. This tool is built upon the Adaptive Frequency Oscillator (AFO), and it can be used as a pattern generator in robotic applications such as locomotion systems. In contrast to AFO, that adapts to the frequency of an external signal, ANO adapts the frequency ...

background: marginal seal has a principal role in durability and clinical success offissure sealants. the aim of this study was to compare the microleakage of two materials used as pit and fissure sealant with different methods of application. methods: the 55 extracted premolars were assigned randomly to one ofthe following five groups: group 1: acid-etching (ultra-etch) + fissure sealant (conv...

Shalya Karma i.e., operative procedures for fistula-in-ano, fissure-in-ano, haemorrhoids, appendicitis, cholelithiasis, different hernias etc is nowadays very commonly adopted in which surgeons are highly concerned about the recurrences and complications affects patient’s quality of life. Ayurveda places a lot stress on feeling pulse at radial artery order to evaluate Doshas, but it does not re...

objective: long-term retention of pit and fissure sealants is crucial for their success. this clinical study evaluated the retention rate of a flowable composite resin (filtek supreme xt flowable restorative) compared to a conventional resin-based sealant (concise light cure white sealant) over 12 months. materials and methods: forty subjects aged 6 to 9 years were included in the study. using ...
