Background: Intensive care is a great challenge and demands of a nurse the highest qualities of character and competence. Respiratory care is based on four important principles include the airway must be kept clear, alveolar ventilation must be adequate, arterial blood must be adequately oxygenated, preexisting pulmonary diseases must be treated and complications avoided. In the view of normal gas exchange, tracheal tube intubation and artificial supply of oxygen and gas exchange can be carried out by mechanically for a ventilatory failure patient.

Aims: The present trial aimed to comparatively evaluate depigmentation using ceramic soft tissue trimming bur versus scalpel for treatment of physiological gingival melanin hyper pigmentation. Materials and Methods: Subjects within the age range of 20-45 years of either sex, reporting to the Out Patient Department with chief complaint of blackish appearance of gums (physiological gingival melanin hyper pigmentation) were selected for the study.

Introduction: Over two-thirds (67%) of disease burden in India,  measured by disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), is attributable to noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) and injuries.1 The Indian state-level disease burden estimates suggest significant differences among states in the composition of  disease burden. Globally, there was a significant correlation between healthy life expectancy (HALE), non-communicable disease DALYs and mortality, with COVID-19 caseload and deaths.

Objective: To determine whether socioeconomic status is a predictor for the development of infant congenital heart disease. Design and Methods: A Scoping Review was conducted using the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) guidelines. Multiple databases were searched using a predefined Boolean logic and search criteria. All search results were managed using Zotero – an open- source reference management software.

The article explores the important role of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in bolstering grassroots governance within India's Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRIs). Panchayati Raj, a decentralized form of administration, empowers local governance through elected bodies at the village, block, and district levels, aiming for participatory decision-making and local development. ICT, comprising digital tools and technologies, revolutionizes governance by enhancing communication, transparency, service delivery, and citizen engagement.

Background: Cryptosporidium parvum is one of the most important enteric opportunistic parasitic infections in immunocompromised patients. Cryptosporidium parvum is a coccidian protozoal parasite that inhabits the brush border of enterocytes, damages the epithelial cells and causes diarrhoeal disease. It causes severe and prolonged diarrhoea in HIV sero-positive/AIDS patients with CD4counts 200 cells/cumm. Early detection of cryptosporidium will enable the clinician in effective management of the disease.

The rapid development of dental biomaterials necessitates a comprehensive understanding of current trends and their impact. Conducting a bibliometric analysis becomes crucial to identify key research directions, influential researchers, and significant contributions in this dynamic field. Such insights will guide evidence-based decisions, foster collaborations, and shape the future of dental biomaterials for improved patient care and clinical outcomes.

Introduction: Correspondence of intraoperative diagnosis on the frozen section with final diagnosis on the permanent section is an integral part of review in surgical pathology. Aims and objectives: To study the effectiveness of frozen section in the diagnosis of various surgical pathologies compared to histopathology as a gold standard. Material and Methods: In this retrospective study, we compared 200 serial frozen section performed between August 2019 and December 2021 at Dr. Vasantrao Pawar Medical College and Hospital, Nashik, Maharashtra.

Axially symmetric anisotropic cosmological model with massive string fluid source are obtained in  f(R,T)  theory of Gravity proposed by Harko et al.(Phys.Rev.D 84,02420,2011).The model which we obtained study geometric (Nambu) string and Reddy string in f(R,T) theory of gravity. Some physical properties of the model are also discussed.
