OBJECTIVE This study evaluated the current use of commercial-off-the-shelf Clinical Information Systems (CIS) for intensive care units (ICUs) and Anesthesia Record Keeping (ARK) for operating rooms and post-anesthesia care recovery settings at three Veterans Affairs Medical Centers (VAMCs). Clinicians and administrative staff use these applications at bedside workstations, in operating rooms, a...

patriarchy, it seems today, has always been an integral part of the indian society. a slight glance at the status of women in india today makes one think that women have always been considered inferior to men. history, however, says otherwise; women in india have historically had a greater role to play and have commanded far greater respect than they do today. it will therefore be justified to ...

Studies of allozyme variation may reveal unexpected patterns of genetic variation which challenge earlier conclusions of species delimitations based on morphological data. However, allozyme variation alone may not be sufficient to resolve this kind of problem. For example, populations of the marine intertidal snail Littorina fabalis (=Littorina mariae) from wave exposed parts and from protected...

Although mobile robot navigation in unstructured environments is an open problem , robotic systems can be developed which operate in relatively unstructured but known environments. The Autonomous Robot for a Known environment (ARK) project has constructed an autonomous robot capable of navigating and carrying out survey/inspection tasks in a complex industrial environment. The ARK environment i...

Increase in industrialization as well as sophisticated life style is leading to increased indoor air pollution causing major health problems in our developing country, India. Chronic exposure to saw dust affects the worker’s lung functions and stimulates allergic responses. Present study is designed to investigate the effects of saw dust on the lung functions as it puts the workers’ health into...

Background: Active immunization with gonadotropin releasing hormone conjugate (GnRH-BSA) manipulates the fertility axis and thus alters the reproductive cyclicity, serum estradiol and progesterone levels. While the application of Kamdhenu ark increases the efficacy of GnRH-BSA. Objective: This experimental investigation is aimed to evaluate the modulatory effects on estrous cycle, serum estradi...

Murray, 1910. Price, Is. net. We have in another column dealt with Major Ronald Ross as a practical hygienist and scientific worker, in this little volume we meet him in a capacity unexpected and unknown to many. The little volume entitled Philosophies contain verses written in India between 1881 and 1809, and many of them when occupied with his well-known malaria researches. We have read the m...
