Sex fixing of mammalian progenies has been an adorable dream of reproductive physiologists and scientific history is replete with attempts to produce sexed offsprings. Most of them involved techniques producing sexed semen. However, present methodology is a novel in vivo patented technology which uses the administration of a liquid oral formulation which contains chemical ingredients like monosodiumethanoate and ethanoic acid which when given before insemination to females of dairy animals; yields female off-springs with considerable success rate.

Organic farming is a production system which avoids or largely excludes the use of synthetic compounded fertilizers, pesticide, growth regulators and livestock feed additives. Though organic farming has many advantages like food safety, environmental and health issues and quality, conversion to organic dairy farming is meager and negligible, so it is important to identify drivers and the barriers affecting the decision in favour of organic dairy farming.

Background: The epidemiology of MRSA is constantly changing, which re¬sults in variation in its drug-resistance patterns throughout regions and countries. Therefore, to support clinicians in preventing and treating infection, epidemiologic surveil¬lance is essential. Phage typing had been reported to be valuable in the identification of known epidemic strains among endemic strains and is preferred as a first line approach in epidemiological investigation of MRSA strains. Aim: To identify the epidemiology of S.

Contemporary health care systems face increasing strain due to a variety of factors, including the growing need for care and its associated rising costs. This has motivated extensive and ongoing efforts to reform health care. The pressure to reform the health care system has led to the pursuit of new, more effective models of health care delivery. Unfortunately, these new models do not perform to their full potentials. If these new models are to achieve their intended outcomes, it will require leadership from the front-line clinicians who primarily work in patient care.

Introduction: Dental esthetics is one of the most wanted procedures in the current business of dentistry. It is more common among the young aged patients, who tend to undergo whitening procedures more than the older aged patients. This process of teeth whitening is scientifically known as bleaching. A study was conducted by Al-Amriet al(2017),which focused on the reasons behind bleaching use and the extent of people's desire in demanding for such treatment. It was found out that majority of the patients were unaware of any side effect dental bleaching might be associated with.

This paper looks at Paul Kalanithi’s When Breath Becomes Air as an autopathographical account that narrates the trauma of the illness. It aims to examine the text as narrating the process of healing and recovery. The text traces the change in attitude and understanding of the narrator of life and mortality which further leads to the sense of recovery that the narrator achieves. The paper will also look at the narrative as bridging the gap between the medical world and literature.

To examine the association between adhesive capsulitis and other various disorders, an analytic study of (96) patients with adhesive capsulitis and (96) patients without adhesive capsulitis was conducted. The data were analyzed and showed the following results. Among adhesive capsulitis cases the female: male ratio was 2 : 1. The peak age of onset was (50-59) years in both sexes. All patients (cases and controls) were screened for a number of possibly associated disorders.

Objective: Teach high school adolescents to identify a Cardiorespiratory Stop and how to take basic life support. Method: Report of an extension activity called "Realistic Simulation in Emergency and Emergency", in the period from April 5 to June 29, 2018, with high school students from public and private schools in the metropolitan region of Belem, Para. Results: In total, five educational interventions were performed through a realistic simulation of the basic life support maneuvers for 500 students from the 1st to 3rd year of high school.

Due to the increase in life expectancy, the number of elderly people in the world has increased 2, causing concern in health systems and social care. The present study aims at the general evaluation of the health status of the elderly in a Brazilian city, for the construction of disease prediction instruments.

Background: Standing and sitting is a natural human posture. Working in a standing position on a regular basis can cause sore feet, swelling of the legs, varicose veins, general muscular fatigue, low back pain, stiffness in the neck and shoulders and other health problems. Aims and Objectives: To assess the prevalence, to identify the risk, to find out the association between the prevalence and risk with variables and to identify the deficit areas of knowledge in view to prepare a pamphlet for early detection & prevention of varicose veins.
