Generation of People’s Comfort Journey
As urbanization and population growth increase, train systems face overcrowding challenges. This paper examines the potential of reducing overcrowding by increasing the number of train coaches. Through case studies from various metropolitan rail networks, the study analyzes the operational, financial, and infrastructural impacts of coach expansions. Key factors like platform length, scheduling, and safety are assessed. The findings indicate that while adding coaches can help alleviate overcrowding, success relies on integrated station upgrades, operational changes, and capacity planning. Practical recommendations are offered for transportation authorities to enhance train services and manage congestion in busy urban areas.

The Economic Impact of Millet Consumption: Exploring Consumer Trends and Market Potential
ABSTRACT The article makes a persuasive case for re-examining millet production's role in India's economy. Historically significant and environmentally resilient, millet presents a promising option for sustainable agriculture in water-scarce regions. Its low input requirements highlight its potential as an economically viable crop. However, despite these benefits, millet has become neglected in the 21st century. Investigating the causes of this decline and exploring ways to revive millet production is essential. The article provides an economic analysis, using secondary data, to elucidate the economic dynamics of millet production. This analysis reveals the challenges and opportunities in reintegrating millet into India's agricultural sector. By understanding millet's economic potential and addressing cultivation and consumption barriers, policymakers can leverage this ancient grain to promote sustainable farming practices and spur economic growth.

Perinatal Outcomes of 100 Consecutive Cesarean Sections at a Nursing Home in Urban India
Background: Cesarean section has become an important obstetric intervention both in institutions and nursing home setup. Outcomes of cesarean sections nursing homes are not well documented in literature. Objectives: To analyse data of 100 consecutive cesarean sections done at a nursing home in urban India. Method: This was a retrospective study carried out at Mothercare Nursing Home in the city of Mumbai over a period of six years. Medical records of patients who underwent a cesarean section at our nursing home between 2015 to 2021 were recorded. Demographic data including patient’s age, mean parity, previous medical and surgical history, USG findings, cesarean section and newborn records were documented. Caesarian sections done were classified as per Robson criteria. Data was analysed using Microsoft excel. Results: A total of 100 consecutive patients (mean age=30.9±4.2 yrs, mean parity=0.6±0.7 yrs, mean BMI= 23.4±1.4 kg/m2) who satisfied our inclusion criteria were included in this study and underwent a cesarean section. In total 78 patients underwent an elective cesarean delivery and 22 had an emergency cesarean section. Primary and secondary cesarean section was done in 66 and 34 women respectively. There were 104 conceptions (n=4 twin gestation) resulting in 43 male and 61 female births. Number of women who were normal weight (BMI 18-25 kg/m2) were 72 and total number of overweight and obese women were 28 (BMI over 25 kg/m2). Majority of patients were categorised into modified Robson class 2 and 5. A majority of women were in the 25-35 year age group (n=83). Most deliveries occurred at term (n=98, mean birth weight 2.87±0.47 kg). Two preterm newborns required NICU care. There was no maternal mortality in our cohort. Conclusions: Cesarean delivery is a safe and feasible procedure in a nursing home. Good backup systems and protocols are a must to conduct this surgery in a safe and effective manner. Most patients were modified Robson criteria 2 and 5.

Case Study- Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and is associated with worsened clinical symptoms and prognosis. The prevalence of PH-COPD is not concretely established as classification criteria vary historically, but the presence of severe disease out of proportion to underlying COPD is relatively rare. Right heart catheterization, the gold standard in diagnosis of PH, is infrequently performed in COPD, and the overlap in the clinical symptoms of PH and COPD presents diagnostic challenges. Proven treatments are limited. Trials exploring the use of vasodilator therapy in this patient group generally demonstrate improvements in hemodynamic accompanied by worsening gas exchange without clearly demonstrated improvements in clinically meaningful outcomes. In-depth workup of underlying pulmonary hypertension and use of pulmonary vasodilator medications may be appropriate on an individual basis. We present a case study and a review and discussion of the pertinent literature on this topic. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a very common condition especially found among those of the older generation who have a history of smoking, a widely accepted practice where harmful effects were not known in the 1940’s, 1950’s, and even the early 1960’s (Cummings & Proctor, 2015). The long term effects of smoking were eventually understood in the scientific community as people would present with cases of diminished lung function. The risks were published and shared with the public as the medical community better understood the phenomenon (Cummings & Proctor, 2015). After the effects of smoking on lung function became better understood, treatments were devised and experimented to help improve respiratory status. Reactive airway disease and its treatment also played a role in the development of treatment for those who had the condition labeled as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Some of the treatments that were developed were in the classes of medications labeled as beta 2 agonists, anticholinergics, also known as muscarinic receptor antagonists, and corticosteroids. Each agent demonstrates a specific modality to help improve air exchange in individuals whose lung function has been compromised by bronchoconstriction, the lack of functional alveoli, airway inflammation, and excessive sputum production. Here presents a case of a 70 year old female who has a
