Health technology The use of routine antenatal anti-D prophylaxis in the prevention of haemolytic disease in the newborn was examined. Two different target populations were considered, all pregnant women who were rhesus (RhD)-negative and women who were RhD-negative primigravidae only. The two different prophylactic treatments considered were Bio Products Laboratory (BPL) anti-D immunoglobulin(...

Changes in several extracellular matrix proteins, such as fibronectin in fetal membrane and cervical collagens, occur at term and preterm delivery. However, no studies have evaluated changes in extracellular matrix proteins, in relation to myometrial activation recorded using invasive techniques during parturition in any species. We used suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH), to demonstra...

A single application of 0.5% croton oil to mouse skin stimulates nucleic acid and protein synthesis in the treated area. The maximum rates of synthesis were attained at 6 hours for RNA, 12 hours for protein, and 18 hours for DNA. By 48-72 hours, the rate of synthesis of RNA and protein was returning to normal, but the rate of DNA synthesis was still 2-3 times the control value. In order to test...

This paper describes a new method estimating an objective low-frequency acoustic sound contaminated with wind noise in the outdoor measurement. It is a dynamic estimation technique employing a reference band pressure level (BPL) of a particular frequency range of the observation as the basis of the wind noise estimation. First, a conditional probability distribution function (c.d.f) of the wind...

INTRODUCTION Health insurance schemes, like Rashtriya Swasthya Bima Yojana (RSBY), should provide financial protection against catastrophic health costs by reducing out of pocket expenditure (OOPE) for hospitalizations. We estimated and compared the proportion and extent of OOPE among below poverty line (BPL) families beneficiaries and not beneficiaries by RSBY during hospitalizations in distri...
