Covid-19 impacted the Indian industries as there were lock down restrictions, supply chain disruptions and other issues. The stock market which is an indicator of industry’s performance crashed when lockdown was announced. Financial performance of the companies got impacted and many of them are the process of recovery. A study was conducted to find the impact of Covid on the financial performance of three key industry sectors in India, namely, Healthcare, Automotive and Information Technology. The above analysis shows that 4 out of 5 Top companies in the Healthcare, Automotive and Information Technology sectors have recovered after Covid and have done well in their growth and profits. The IT industry stocks compared to other industries under study, have performed well post pandemic. The Automotive industry has also recovered but is not growing as compared to pre Covid era, the shortage of silicon chip can be a reason behind its slow growth. The healthcare industry improved drastically due to the need of medical attention needed in the country. The analysis shows that 4 out of 5 Top companies in the Healthcare, Automotive and Information Technology sectors have recovered after Covid and have done well in their growth and profits.
KEY WORDS: Covid-19, Healthcare, Automotive, Information Technology, Profitability and growth.
Laser is an innovative tool in modern dental practice. LASER stands for ‘Light Amplification by Stimulated Emissions of Radiation”. In last 2 decades there have been an explosion of research studies in laser application. Advances in the use of laser device in prosthodontics have proven beneficial. Further laboratory and clinical experimentation may determine a significant place of laser in prosthodontics. The various application of Laser is convenient for both dentist and patient. This review article have described application of laser in field of prosthodontics in all aspect.
Muscular infestation with larval stage ofTaenia soliumis a well-recognised entity but cysticercosis of the head and neck region is a rarity. We present a case of 35-year-old young man with diffuse swelling of 3.5×4 cm in the parotid region on the right side of the face with signs of inflammation. Diagnosis was established on high-resolution ultrasonography which revealed it to be of parasitic origin. The patient was managed with antihelminthic pharmacotherapy and improved within a month. Thus cysticercosis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of subcutaneous swellings of the head and neck region, especially in endemic zones and it must be investigated well with appropriate imaging modalities so that inadvertent surgery can be avoided.
A systemic parasitic infestation caused by the larval stages of the pork tapeworm, Taenia solium is known as Cysticercosis. While encysted form of the larval stage is attributed to rare variant of Cysticercosis of soft tissues. Muscle infestation by this parasite can lead to vague clinical presentation. We are presenting a series of 4 rare cases of extracranial, cervicofacial cysticercosis their clinical attributes and imaging characteristics leading to diagnosis of cysticercosis and approach to successful outcome with pharmacotherapy alone that spared the need of surgical management.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
