ORS : A boon in dehydration

-
Image
What is ORS? Oral re-hydration salts: It is a glucose-electrolyte formula given by WHO/UNICEF, used for correction of acute diarrhea due to all causes and dehydration in all age groups with aim to reduce mortality. It is available in powder form in sachets/ ready-made solution or it can be easily made at home. How it works? The combination of electrolytes and sugar together stimulates water and electrolyte absorption from the gut and hence  capable of correcting water and electrolyte deficit in conditions such as diarrhea and vomiting. Reasons to celebrate ORS day? ORS Day is celebrated every year on 29th July:  To spread awareness about the importance of Oral Rehydration Salts (ORS) as a low cost method of health intervention.   Among infants and young children, acute diarrhoeal diseases are one of the leading causes of mortality in many developing countries.   Dehydration particularly affects infants, children and old people.  Diarrhea...

AI role on teaching/learning process in Universities

-
 Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been transforming many industries, and education is no exception. With the advancements in AI technology, it has become a powerful tool for enhancing the teaching and learning process in universities. In this blog, we will discuss how AI is changing the way students learn and how it is helping educators to improve their teaching methods. 1. Personalized Learning One of the most significant benefits of AI in education is the ability to provide personalized learning experiences. AI algorithms can analyze student data, such as performance on exams, to identify strengths and weaknesses. This information can be used to create personalized learning plans for each student, making sure they receive the right content, at the right time, and in the right format. 2. Interactive Learning AI technology has made it possible to create interactive learning experiences that are engaging and entertaining. Virtual tutors, chatbots, and gamified learning apps are just...

Diabetes : Lets learn how to inject insulin

-
Image
  What is the need? The proper injection of insulin is very important to allow the body to function normally hence we should be very strict about the way we manage the insulin injections.  Common mistakes done: Poor mixing technique when mixing insulin. Wrong doses (because of poor eyesight). Poor injection technique—into the skin or muscle rather than the soft, fatty layer.  Not taking insulin when you feel ill. When to inject insulin? Develop a set routine, including eating your meals on time and giving the injections about 30 minutes before your meal Where to inject insulin? The injection should go into the fatty (subcutaneous) tissue between the skin and muscle.  Abdomen below the navel is the best place.  Other suitable areas are the buttocks and thighs.  These areas having a good layer of fat under the skin and are free of large blood vessels and nerves.  It is advisable to stick to one area, and the abdomen is recommended.  Avoid ...

Spotters in "Environment and Health: Mosquitoes- Anopheles" for CFM & MPH students

-
Image
Anopheles Mosquito: Also known as the sophisticated mosquito. The flight range is 3-5 km. Around 45 species of anopheles mosquitoes have been found in India but only a few of them have been incriminated as vectors or carriers of malaria. These are An. fluviatilis & An. minimum (foot-hill regions), An. sundaicus & An. stephensi (coastal regions) and An culicifacies & An. philippinensis (planes). 1. Eggs: Important points: Eggs laid on the surface of the clean water. 100-250 at a time. This stage lasts for 1-2 days. Laid singly, boat-shaped & possess lateral floats. 2. Larva: Important points: The larva is a free-swimming creature. Passes through 4 stages called ' instars ' with moulting between each stage. Floats horizontally in water/ rests parallel to the water surface. No siphon tube at the tip of its abdomen.  Palmate hairs present on abdominal segments. 3.

Diabetes : A healthy diet is must

-
Image
What is the need?  As we all know diet is important to control both type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus. For diabetics a proper diet plan is based on a healthy eating plant/habit. We don't need to prepare separate or special foods for diabetic person.  The only need is to reduce total energy from fat and sugar and take a high-fiber complex carbohydrate diet of foods like wholemeal bread, rolled oats, pasta, beans, lentils, apples and low-sugar breakfast cereals.Food should be taken at regular intervals and spread throughout the day. It is good  if advise taken by a doctor or dietitian regarding foods to be taken in diabetes. What should be included in healthy diet? Simple healthy guidelines for diabetics are  Limitation of sugar in the diet.  Limitation of fat.  Limitation of alcohol.  Take plenty of water.  Reduction of salt in cooking and in food.  Take a variety of fruit, vegetables, cereals and bread.  Eating...

How to design a reconfigurable antenna? Step-by-step process.

-
Determine the frequency range and bandwidth requirements for the antenna. Choose an appropriate antenna structure, such as a patch antenna, microstrip antenna, or planar inverted-F antenna (PIFA). Choose the reconfigurable component, such as PIN diodes, switches, or varactor diodes. Design the impedance matching network, which is essential for optimal performance of the antenna. Simulate the antenna using electromagnetic simulation software, such as CST Microwave Studio, Ansys HFSS, or Keysight ADS, to verify its performance. Fabricate the antenna and integrate the reconfigurable component. Test the antenna in an anechoic chamber to verify its performance and ensure that it meets the requirements. Repeat steps 5-7 as necessary to optimize the antenna's performance. Note: These are general steps for designing a reconfigurable antenna and may vary depending on the specific requirements and constraints of the application.
