Cow’s milk trigger for type 1 diabetes
Abstract: Diabetes is an autoimmune, metabolic disorder that occurs when the pancreas stops producing insulin hormones. Type 1 diabetes or juvenile diabetes may occur genetically due to viral infection, vitamin D deficiency and environmental factors. Cow’s milk protein is one of the causes for type 1 diabetes. Casein protein which is found in the cow’s milk is responsible for production of antibodies bovine β–lacto globulin. Such antibodies destroy the β cell …

Seed Quality Analysis by Using Image Processing
Abstract: Globally, wheat is the principal source of vegetable protein in human food, having higher protein content than other major cereals like maize and rice. In terms of total production tonnages used for food, India is currently at second rank as the main human food crop. Determining the quality of wheat is critical. Specifying the characteristics of wheat manually needs an expert decision and is time consuming. Sometimes the variety of …

Wheat Grain Quality Analysis Using Image Processing
Abstract: Rice and Wheat are two major staple cereals used globally. In India too, both of these crops are cultivated and consumed in large quantities. In this article, we are demonstrating an image processing approach to segregate bad quality wheat seed grains from the good quality. Wheat is not only the source of carbohydrate, but it also contains protein in ample amounts. The protein content in wheat is higher than that …

The Existence of Two States in Liquid Water and Its Impact on Biological and Nanoscopic Systems Around Us
Abstract: This work reviews several properties of liquid water, including the dielectric constant and the proton-spin lattice relaxation, and draws attention to a bilinear behavior defining a crossover in the temperature range 50 ± 10°C between two possible states in liquid water. The existence of these two states in liquid water plays an important role in nano-metric and biological systems. For example, the optical properties of metallic (gold and silver) nanoparticles …

To Assess the Effectiveness of Self-instructional Module (SIM) on Knowledge and Attitude Regarding Cataract and Management Among Cataract Patients in Selected Hospitals of District Sangrur, Punjab: A Quasi-experimental Study
Abstract: A cataract is an opacity in the eye's crystalline lens that causes glare or blurred vision. The crystalline proteins that make up the lens are specialised proteins whose optical characteristics depend on the precise arrangement of their three-dimensional structure and hydration. The main concept of this study was to make the patients aware of cataracts and their management. The researcher prepared a self-instructional module to further enhance their knowledge and …

Diamond–Blackfan Anaemia (DBA)
Abstract: In Diamond–Blackfan anaemia (DBA), the bone marrow (soft centre part of most bones) does not make adequate red blood cells (RBC). It is a type of marrow failure disorder. RBC take oxygen from the lungs to all parts of your body. A low level of RBC is called anaemia. In anaemia, the body’s organs may not get sufficient oxygen. How serious anaemia is different from child to child with this …

A Study to Assess the Effectiveness of Video Assisted Teaching Regarding Total Parenteral Nutrition on Knowledge and Practice Among Staff Nurses Working at Critical Care Unit, MGMCRI, At Puducherry
Abstract: Background: Adequate nutrition is vital for growth and development of children starting from conception to maturity. Almost all nutritional disorders like protein energy malnutrition, anaemia, rickets, and nutritional blindness occur in this age group. The early use of adequate parenteral nutrition minimizes weight loss, and improves growth and neurons developmental outcome, and appears to reduce the risk of mortality and later adverse outcomes, such as necrotizing enter colitis and bronco …

Vaccines Linked with Mental Disorders
Abstract: The researchers found associations for one injection in specific: the influenza vaccine, which was related with developed charges of obsessive–compulsive disorder, anorexia, anxiety complaint and tic illness. A biological explanation for these correlations has not been found, but a potential mechanism could lie in the body’s immune response to vaccines, the study suggested. Vaccines effort by digging the immune system to harvest antibodies against viruses and micro-organisms, thus preparing the …
