Background: Study of an individual's cephalic length, cephalic breadth and cephalic index is useful in clinical practice, forensic medicine, anthropology and genetic study. It is a useful tool to distinguish race and sex in medico-legal cases. Cephalic index also varies geographically. Aims & Objectives: To study the cephalic index, in Vindhya region of Madhya Pradesh. Materials and Methods: Present study is carried out in the Shyam Shah Medical College and S.G.M. Hospital, Rewa (Madhya Pradesh). For this study, total 309 subjects were selected randomly, which included 191 males and 118 females, between 22 to 27 years of age. Cephalic length and breadth were measured using standard anthropometric instruments and cephalic index was determined using standard methods. Data analysis was done by using statistical method. Results: Cephalic index of males and females belong to the mesocephalic group. In our observations, mean value of cephalic index are 75.8419 for male, 79.05 for female and 77.791 for both sexes. Conclusion: In Vindhya region of Madhya Pradesh, there is predominance of mesocephalic head.
In order to reduce the community-transmission of the novel coronavirus, precautionary measures require major attention. Reducing coronavirus transmission in the Indian population has included utilization of protective masks, which ranked in the first level, followed by hand hygiene, self-observations, respiratory manners, social distancing, and environmental cleanliness and ventilation, respectively. But the Indian Government has taken a good initiative by ordering a lockdown to provide safety to its population and sustainability to the environment or nature. People in some sectors are doing work from home to still the rate of transmission, but the financial transactions also stop. In some sectors (product/service), it is also not possible to work from home, and in India, the infrastructure or facilities or science is not that developed. Hence, the Indian economy is suffering. In this paper, an effort is taken to find the financial crises in India due to Pandemic COVID-19 and prioritize it by Topsis method.
BackgroundHealthcare workers are committed to learning from each other's experience to safely optimize patient management of COVID-19. Acute hypoxemic failure is common in COVID-19 patients, and nearly 3.2% may require intubation. Intubation is an aerosol-generating procedure (AGP) that might predispose the performer to COVID-19 infection. This survey was intended to evaluate the practices during tracheal intubation in COVID-19 intensive care units (ICUs) and analyze them against the recommendations of the All India Difficult Airway Association (AIDAA) for safe practice.
MethodologyIt was a web-based, multicentric cross-sectional survey. The choices in the questions were based on guidelines for airway management in COVID-19. Survey questions were divided into two parts -the first part consisted of demographics and general information, and the second part focused on safe intubation practices.
ResultsA total of 230 responses were obtained from physicians all over India, presuming their active involvement in COVID-19 cases, of which 226 responses were taken into account. Two-thirds of responders did not receive any training before ICU posting. The Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) guideline was followed by 89% of responders for personal protective equipment use. Intubation in COVID-19 patients was predominantly conducted by a senior anesthesiologist/intensivist in the team and a senior resident (37.2%). Rapid sequence intubation (RSI) and modified RSI were preferable among the responder's hospitals (46.5% vs. 33.6%). In most centers, responders used direct laryngoscope for intubation (62.8%), whereas video laryngoscope was used by 34%. Most responders confirmed the endotracheal tube (ETT) position by visual inspection (66.3%) over end-tidal carbon dioxide (EtCO2) concentration tracing (53.9%).
ConclusionsSafe intubation practices were followed in most of the centers across India. However, teaching and training, preoxygenation methods, alternative ventilation strategies, and confirmation of intubation pertinent to COVID-19 airway management need more attention.
The global business environment has become more mindful of present-day cookware risks. Such risks as nickel and chromium draining from hardened steel pots have resulted in a rebound of nourishments of conventional materials like copper, iron, stone, and dirt into Indian kitchens. Changing business perspectives and consumer needs have motivated this trend resulting in developing interest in brands representing considerable authority in legacy cookware. This chapter reviews the applicability of business process reengineering (BPR) and its challenges in India, focusing on traditional industries. The study adopts a multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) to identify and confirm the top difficulties and variables influencing BPR execution in conventional efficient earth, copper utensils. The study found out that, for BPR to succeed, it is imperative to have a sufficient IT foundation and lucidness in the continuous procedures and practices. The chapter further establishes how various BPR elements can be organized to achieve significant efficiency, cycle times, quality, and cost reduction.
