BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Three countries, Bangladesh, India and Nepal, set out to eliminate kala-azar by 2015. This study was aimed to document the knowledge and practices in kala-azar case management of public and private health providers in these three countries. METHODS A health care provider survey was conducted in 2007 at 4 study sites, viz., Muzaffarpur and Vaishali districts in India, M...

The introduction of personal computing and wireless communication technology provides an option for on site device software updating and data retrieving. This is especially true for any devices sitting in a remote site where computing network is not accessible. In many advanced computing systems, frequent software updating and configuration profiles refreshing are required. This is clumsy and e...

It is usually a small tooth with a coneor peg shaped crown and a short root. It may be single or paired, erupted or impacted and at times even inverted....

Remote sensing was applied for the collection of spatio-temporal data to increase our understanding of the potential distribution of the kala-azar vector Phlebotomus argentipes in endemic areas of the Vaishali district of Bihar, India. We produced monthly distribution maps of the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) based on data from the thematic mapper (TM) sensor onboard the Landsat...

Oral cancer is a major global health problem andaffects more than 200000 people worldwide. These are often led by preexisting oral lesions termed as potentially malignant disorders of the oral mucosa. Oral cancer is associated with multiple risk factors. Though tobacco and alcohol consumption are the most common risk factors, studies have also revealed that DNA viruses, especially human papillo...

The role of the distribution of inland water bodies with respect to the transmission of visceral leishmaniasis (VL) and its dominant vector, Phlebotomous argentipes, has been studied at the regional scale in Bihar, eastern India. The Landsat TM sensor multispectral scanning radiometer, with a spatial resolution of 30 m in the visible, reflective-infrared and shortwave-infrared (SWIR) bands, was...

Remote sensing and geographical information technologies were used to discriminate areas of high and low risk for contracting kala-azar or visceral leishmaniasis. Satellite data were digitally processed to generate maps of land cover and spectral indices, such as the normalised difference vegetation index and wetness index. To map estimated vector abundance and indoor climate data, local polyno...

The objective of this paper is to find out the profile teachers teaching science at secondary level and study classroom transaction process with reference constructivist approach teaching. was conducted through qualitative method. For researcher selected 20 schools from Vaishali district Bihar, India. investigator used information blank for developing their observation schedule examining learni...

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Indoor residual spraying (IRS) is a proven tool to reduce visceral leishmaniasis vectors in endemic villages. In India IRS is being done with stirrup pumps, whereas Nepal, Bangladesh, and other countries use compression pumps. The present study was conducted with the objectives to compare the efficiency, cost and user friendliness of stirrup and compression pumps. METH...
