Building up the ' Mother Industries' ( Tata Steel )

Building up the ' Mother Industries' ( Tata Steel ) Source: Unplash HERE are certain corporations the world round, which stand out from their fellows. They need not be the largest or the most prosperous in their country or even in their given field but their achievements and traditions are epochal and in peoples' minds identify the trade or industry to which they belong with themselves. They may be in trade or commerce opening up new frontiers and new territories, such as, for instance, the East Asiatic Corporation of Denmark, or they may be established in one place in a basic or key industry. The Tata Iron and Steel Company is such a corporation. It is part of the geography and landscape of India-as much a part of her as her great mountain ranges and rivers. The little forest village of Sakchi as much as the rolling hills of Chhota Nagpur have all contributed to her greatness. The Tata Iron and Steel Company broke new ground not merely as a pioneer in steel manufacture i

The glands are controlled directly by stimulation from the nervous system (Endocrine System) Source: Pixabay Endocrine system Introduction The endocrine system includes all of the glands of the body and the hormones produced by those glands. The glands are controlled directly by stimulation from the nervous system as well as by chemical receptors in the blood and hormones produced by other glands. By regulating the functions of organs in the body. Function - these glands help to maintain the body's homeostasis. Cellular metabolism, reproduction, sexual development, sugar and mineral homeostasis, heart rate, and digestion are among the many processes regulated by the actions of hormones. Hypothalamus Location - a part of the brain located superior and anterior to the brain stem and inferior to the thalamus. Function - secretes hormones that stimulate or suppress the release of hormones in the pituitary gland, in addition to controlling water balance, sleep, temperature, appetite, an

CHILD HEALTH: Factors That Affect the Health of Children

CHILD HEALTH: Factors That Affect the Health of Children Source: Pixabay CHILD HEALTH A child means"".... every human being below the age of eighteen years, unless under the law applicable to the child, majority is attained earlier." Conventions on the right of the child. Part one, article one 1991:Every year 13 million children die from preventable diseases. More than 60% are due to Pneumonia: 3.6 million. Diarrhoea diseases: 3 million. Vaccine presentable diseases and combination of the three: 2.1 million. Among these deaths 75% are preventable by immunization and improved management of diarrhoea. With favourable environment the process of growth and development is a normal one. Certain stages of growth and development are crucial such as young age, and reproductive age or special characteristics like pregnancy, reproduction, and growth and development. These conditions make such groups vulnerable and expose them to disease, disability and death (the 3 D's) F

MATERNAL HEALTH PROBLEMS: MATERNAL MORTALITY (death of a woman while pregnant or within 42 days of termination of pregnancy)

MATERNAL HEALTH PROBLEMS: MATERNAL MORTALITY (death of a woman while pregnant or within 42 days of termination of pregnancy) Source: Pixabay MATERNAL HEALTH PROBLEMS More than 150 million women become pregnant in developing countries each year and an estimated 500,000 of them die from pregnancy-related causes. Maternal health problems are also the causes for more than seven million pregnancies to result in stillbirths or infant deaths within the first week of life. Maternal death, of a woman in reproductive age, has a further impact by causing grave economic and social hardship for her family and community. Other than their health problems most women in the developing countries lack access to modern health care services and increases the magnitude of death from preventable problems. Factors Affecting Health Status of Mothers The major determinants of maternal morbidity and mortality include pregnancy, the development of pregnancy-related complications, including complications from abor

MOTHER AND CHILD HEALTH :Justifications for the provision of MCH Care

MOTHER AND CHILD HEALTH :Justifications for the provision of MCH Care Source: Pixabay MOTHER AND CHILD HEALTH Maternal and child health (MCH) care is the health service provided to mothers (women in their child bearing age) and children. The targets for MCH are all women in their reproductive age groups, i.e., 15 - 49 years of age, children, school age population and adolescents. Throughout the world, especially in the developing countries, there is an increasing concern and interest in maternal and child health care. This commitment towards MCH care gains further strength after the World Summit for Children, 1991, which gave serious consideration and outlined major areas to be addressed in the provision of Maternal and Child Health Care services. Source: Pixabay Justifications for the provision of MCH Care 1. Mothers and children make up over 2/3 of the whole population. Women in reproductive age (15 - 49) constitute 21%, pregnant women, 4.5%, children under 5, 47%, children under 5,

PATIENT SAFETY : The WHO International Conceptual Patient Safety (ICPS) framework

PATIENT SAFETY : The WHO International Conceptual Patient Safety (ICPS) framework Source: Pixabay Patients can be harmed from health care, resulting in permanent injury, increased lengths of stay in hospital and even death. Adverse events can occur not because people intentionally hurt patients, but rather due to the complexity of health-care systems where treatment and care depend on many factors, in addition to the competence of health-care providers. When so many and varied types of health-care providers, such as dentists, dieticians, doctors, midwives, nurses, surgeons, pharmacists, social workers, and others are involved, it can be difficult to ensure safe care, unless the system is designed to facilitate the delivery of quality and safe services. What is Patient Safety? "A discipline in the health-care sector that applies safety science methods towards the goal of achieving a trust worthy system of health-care delivery Patient safety is also an attribute of health-care syste

ULTRASOUND : Color and Doppler Imaging in Ultrasound

ULTRASOUND : Color and Doppler Imaging in Ultrasound Source: Pixabay Ultrasound uses no ionizing radiation, and it can image directly in any body plane practice, an ultrasonographer (either an ultrasound technologist called a sonographer or a physician) places on the patient's skin and moves a transducer across the of the patient's body. The gel forms an acoustic seal between the transducer and the skin for better transmission of sound, which results in better The transducer can both send out and receive high-frequency sound waves, which transmit through, or reflect off, structures in the body . The returning sound waves are categorized by their intensity (referred to as echogenicity) and duration of time that it takes for them to return. It is the time that it takes for the echo to return from its encounter with an acoustic interface (a structure within the body which reflects sound) that allows its location within the image to be assigned.

At this location, its position is relatively superficial and hemostasis can therefore be achieved with ease because the artery can be compressed against the femoral head once the procedure is completed Different catheters are used to access the branch arteries requiring imaging Once the catheter is in the appropriate vessel iodinated contrast (often called "X-ray dye'') is injected at a controlled rate and volume either via a power injector or by hand injection. Imaging can be acquired on film radiographs (which are processed similarly to routine radiographs) or much more commonly with digital subtraction angiography (DSA). In DSA, images are processed with the help of a computer The initial image has no contrast

World Championships Held biennially since 1960 (excepting 1974), scoring is based on the system devised by Col Jose Aresti of Spain. The competitions consist of two compulsory and two free programs. Team competition has been won on 4 occasions by the USSR. No individual has won more than one title, the most successful competitor being Igor Egorov (USSR) who won in 1970, was second in 1976, fifth in 1972 and eleventh in 1968.
