This research work was aimed to avoid side effects of the drug by extended drug release approach. The naproxen pellets were prepared by extrusion-spheronization method and then these spheres were coated with release control polymer, ethyl cellulose and pH dependent polymer Eudragit L-100. The pre-compression parameters were evaluated by angle of repose, bulk density, tapped density, Carr¿s index and hausner¿s ratio. Then these pellets were compressed with extra-granular material to obtain pellet-based naproxen tablets. The prepared tablets were further coated with Opadry- II white using standard coating pan method. In- vitro drug release studies of the coated tablets were carried out in different dissolution media i.e., 0.1N HCl, phosphate buffers of pH 4.5, 6.8 and 7.5. The mechanism of drug release was found to follow Higuchi diffusion model. The drug release follows first order kinetics. The stability studies were conducted at accelerated storage conditions of 40°C±2°C/75%±5% RH for a period of 2 months.

Cervical cancer affects all aspects of a patient¿s life, including sexual functioning and intimacy. Health care providers don¿t ask patients about it, and women may be uncomfortable broaching the topic on their own. Sexual dysfunction poses challenges to one¿s social, mental, emotional, and physical wellbeing. It may occur as a result of the nature of a cancer, such as a cancer that affects the mechanics or hormonal pathways in sexual function, as a result of the treatment. It may also occur from the emotional trauma of receiving a diagnosis or indeed living with cancer for the patient as well as their sexual partner.Oncology nurses among health care providers are the first degree to which women can easily explain themselves and can be effective in removing their concerns related to sexual health. Oncology nurses are expected to fulfill a variety of activities, such as information-giving, symptom control, psychological care, and social support for the patient.

Periodontitis is a dental plaque induced chronic inflammatory disease invading periodontal tissues, caused by microbial dysbiosis and the host immune response. It is distinguished by the loss of alveolar bone and if remain untreated can lead to tooth loss, which in turns hinders the oral function and can negatively impact the overall quality of life. Therefore for the efficient prevention and management of the tooth it is necessary for the clinician to diagnose these diseases early and accurately. Currently, the diagnosis and grading of periodontal diseases are based on complete oral clinical and radiographic examination of the periodontium. Recent studies focused on the subgingival microbiome, inflammatory mediators and the host-response modifiers as the potential biomarkers present in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) and saliva, suggesting the potential for non-invasive chair side diagnostic aids in order to assist the clinician in the diagnosis and even prognosis of a particular periodontal disease. Hence, this book aims to review to date available chairside diagnostic periodontal aids, their significance and their commercially available options.

Specific Learning Disabilities (SLD) are categorized as childhood disorders in which a child exhibits difficulty in certain basic skills despite having normal intelligence. The skills being affected consist of reading, writing, listening, speaking, reasoning, and arithmetic problem-solving. Technology plays a very crucial role in today's globalized world. To assist persons with SLD, technology in form of assistive technology is used. Assistive technology can be hardware, software, or a combination of both. Though several assistive technology tools are present, but they are not being used optimally due to certain barriers to using them.The research on SLD is in its infancy stage in India. There are no standardized guidelines for screening/diagnosis and management of SLD in India. Lack of knowledge regarding the disability among people makes them reluctant even to get themselves screened for SLD.The book presents the current scenario and management of SLD in India. It further presents the major barriers to the optimal utilization of Assistive technology and the need to eliminate them. Lastly, the framework and working of the assistive tool developed by the author are explained.

Female genital mutilation or cutting is a traditional and cultural procedure that includes all procedures that involve partial or total removal of the external female genitalia or other injuries to the female genital organs for non-medical reasons.The most commonly claimed reasons for FGM/C were social conventions, religion, ensuring premarital virginity and marital fidelity, enhancing marriageability, and cultural values of femininity and modesty. The female genitalia is thought to be filthy and unattractive, and the clitoris contains toxins. It is thought to cause impotence in men and to be harmful to the infant after delivery. One of the major reasons for FGM/C is this belief.Female genital mutilation and cutting have been performed by Christians, Muslims, and Animists. The practice was also common in the U.S. of America and Europe in the early 19th century, when cutting of genitals was used to treat psychological disorders and prevent masturbation, also known as ¿clitoral enlargement," epilepsy, and hysteria.

The economic impact of inadequate sanitation is a barrier to progress, constituting 6.4% of GDP globally (UNICEF and WHO). As wastewater generation rises due to improved living standards, effective wastewater treatment becomes crucial. While advanced water recycling technology minimizes environmental impact, its life cycle cost involves notable energy, chemical and electromechanical usage. This study employs Life Cycle Cost Analysis to develop a decision support tool, evaluating three key treatment technologies (ASP, MBBR and SBR) for wastewater treatment based on economic efficiency and environmental impact. The aim is to guide decision-makers in selecting economically sustainable wastewater treatment systems.

Shree Shree Harichand Thakur, though he has been behind the elite society since the third decade of the nineteenth century, he has been demanding the right to education, the right to religion, the right to action and the right to social honour. Later, his son ShreeGuruchand Thakur succeeded in the movement for that right and taught the greater untouchable Bengal society.This is why Shree Shree Harichand-Guruchand¿s idea of education, education movement, Peasant movement, social reform movement, and religion movement ---- Whatever happened, all of them have remained limited inside the Matua society and among the untouchables, the lower castes. Without political power, the poor, untouchable folk society has not been given the power of politics; no matter how educated they are, how skilled or efficient they are, they will not be able to be known as citizens of human society, removing their identity as folk people. The human society, the civil society or the elite class has occupied a prominent place, and to keep it under its capture forever, they are planning and inventing new tactics and politics after politics. To keep their power in place, they are doing the above activities.

Since the inception of human civilisation, man has advanced through technology by chipping stones to make them sharp-edged to cut raw meat or use fire to scare away wild animals. Throughout history, man has used such technologies to make life easier and time-saving. Changing has occurred in all sectors of life due to man's conscious nature to solve their problems through innovative new ideas and technologies. Such stepping stones in solving practical issues have led to the development of more and more technology. Technology is widely known as the application of science to solve problems. It is also said to be the application of science to art. Hence, educational technology implies the application of technology in education. People are unfamiliar with it because it is a new field. Educational technology is developing systematic approaches and practical knowledge for creating and operating educational systems. It is a communication process that deals directly with developing, implementing, and growing systems, procedures, and assistance. Educational technology is the use of scientific knowledge and psychological learning principles to improve the effectiveness of teaching training.

Urinary incontinence is a complex and serious condition that can affect menopausal women. It is not only a serious medical condition but also an undeniable psychosocial problem, creating embarrassment and negative self-perception, loss of self-steam, impaired body image, a decreased ability to maintain an independent lifestyle, and social isolation. Early detection of urinary incontinence and appropriately selected pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatment, including Kegel's exercise, play a fundamental role in improving the physical and psychological condition of menopausal women and also prevent the exacerbation of symptoms.

Hematologic diseases mainly include disorders related to red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets which are the major components of blood.To rule out presence of hematologic diseases in a given patient, history should begin with standard medical questionnaires; Enquiry should be done about any previous prolonged bleeding episode post-surgery or injury, any spontaneous bleeding or frequent bruising. Drug history is very important and should be recorded in detail to know if the patient is on anticoagulants.

Fever (or hyperthermia) is a clinical sign accompanying several illnesses and manifests as dysfunction in the body¿s physiological mechanisms of temperature regulation. When caused by an infective microorganism (such as bacterial, viral, fungal or protozoal infection), the fever will usually be accompanied by an elevated white blood cell count. Blood cultures are the gold-standard for the diagnosis of bacterial infection. However, these are not readily available in most rural healthcare settings in low-income countries and when available, they take about 48 hours to detect any microorganisms in the culture media and are prone to contamination.

High level video generalization, video segmentation, video indexing, video summarization and video recovery required an elementary step of recognition of shot boundaries. Therefore detection of shot boundaries is prerequisite for revealing content of complicated video structure. There are several applications where shot boundary detection automation can be used such as Geographical information system (GIS), restoration of video, multimedia news, digital libraries, Tele-learning, interactive display. There are some problems that still need to be addressed by the researchers to resolve. The disturbance caused by the illumination change, detection of gradual and abrupt transitions is the main confronts in the detection of shot breaks. In this book we propose three methods for shot boundary detection which are Dual Tree Discrete Wavelet Transform (DTDWT), Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and Convolution Neural Network (CNN). We have assessed algorithms using performance evaluation metric Precision, Recall and F1 measure.

Gynecological cancer is the fourth most common type worldwide; the steep rise in chronic illnesses constitutes a public health challenge for health services and policymakers. The diagnosis of cancer affects patients and their families physically, financially, and emotionally. Cancer is still considered synonymous with death, pain, and suffering. Therefore, there is a need for attempts toward enhancing the physical performance and quality of life of this category of patients. The oncology nurse has an important role in patient education and managing side effects, thereby helping each woman maintain her sexuality and quality of life.

Because folic acid plays a role in normal cell division, its intake is important during pregnancy for the rapidly dividing embryonic cells. Consuming sufficient folate before and during early pregnancy can help prevent neural tube defects such as spina bifida and anencephaly and can reduce the incidence of congenital heart disease. A deficiency of folate can occur when the body's need for folate is increased, when dietary intake of folate is inadequate, or when the body excretes (or loses) more folate than usual. The health belief model is a popular model applied in nursing, especially in issues focusing on patient compliance and preventive health care practice. The health belief model addresses the relationship between a person's beliefs and behavior. It provides a way to understand and predict how clients will behave in relation to their health and how they will comply with health care therapies. Nursing has evolved over the centuries, moving from the Nightingale Era of caring for the sick to the Healthy People Era, which in turn promotes health and wellness. Nurses today are equally involved in the role of a health promoter and illness preventer as well as a problem solver.
