Effectiveness of Integrated Pathway (IP) regarding care of people affected with Ebola virus disease

Introduction: Health care workers are at a greater risk of contact with infectious diseases such as Ebola virus disease the worst hit in 2014 and may promote transmission by occupational exposures. Objectives: To evaluate the effectiveness of Integrated Pathway on knowledge and attitude of nurses regarding care of people affected with EVD. Methodology: Quasi Experimental research approach, Time Series Design Non Equivalent Control Group Design was adopted. In the experimental and control group, each comprising 16 study participants, totally 32 from two different tertiary care hospitals, at Coimbatore. Knowledge and attitude questionnaire were used and analyzed by using descriptive statistics. Results: There was the highest significant difference between pre test and post test 3 score of knowledge of nurses in care of people affected with EVD (t = 21.2354; p < 0.05), whereas the lowest level of significant difference was found between post test 1 and post test 3 score of knowledge of nurses in care of people affected with EVD (t = 3.4802 ; p < 0.05). Also in control group, it depicted that there was significant difference found between pre test & post test 1 score of knowledge of nurses in care of people affected with EVD (t = 1.7111 ; p < 0.05), whereas the lowest level of significant difference was noted between post test 2 and post test 3 score of knowledge of nurses in care of people affected with EVD (t = 0.2559 ; p < 0.05). Conclusion: The study had proved the necessity to create a great impact on the level of knowledge and attitude of nurses.

Case Study

Heterotopic ossification in distal interosseous membrane of the radius and ulna: A rare case

Heterotopic ossification is an abnormal formation of true bone within extraskeletal soft tissues. The interosseous membrane (IOM) runs obliquely from radius to ulna and attaches to their respective interosseous borders. It is an occasional site for heterotopic ossification (HO) that involves the development of mature lamellar bone. Heterotopic ossification resulting in radio-ulnar cross union occurs in 2% of all forearm injurie Heterotopic ossification resulting in radio-ulnar cross union occurs in 2% of all forearm injuries Heterotopic ossification resulting in radio-ulnar cross union occurs in 2% of all forearm injuries Heterotopic ossification resulting in radio-ulnar cross union occurs in 2% of all forearm injury Heterotopic ossification resulting in radio-ulnar cross union occurs in 2% of all forearm injuries Heterotopic ossification resulting in radio-ulnar cross union occurs in 2% of all forearm injuries the radius, hence to the ulna and humerus. The posterior relations near the carpus are the anterior interosseous artery and the posterior interosseous nerve. Heterotopic ossification resulting in radio-ulnar cross union occurs in 2% of all firearm injuries. During the routine undergraduate demonstration classes in the department of Anatomy at BLDEU’s Shri B. M. Patil Medical College, Bijapur, we found Heterotopic ossification resulting in radio-ulnar cross union occurs in 2 % of all forearm injuries. We report a case of ossification of the interosseous membrane (OIM) in a 17-year-old boy who had a history of trauma 1 month back followed by pain and swelling in the right wrist. The plain radiograph showed OIM in the distal interosseous membrane of the radius and ulna of the right hand. MRI showed bone intensity bridging the distal shaft of the radius and ulna.

Review Paper

Discussion on bad sitting posture recognition

Currently, an increase in the rate of spinal cord problems among young people and adults are due to improper sitting posture like slouching and hunching. This bad posture is due to the usage of computers, smartphones and other portable devices for long hours. In the recent years, there has been huge development in sitting posture monitoring systems to prevent the spinal and neck pain, Which are not only monitored the posture in real-time and also provide the feedback to improve their posture. The main aim of this survey paper has to provide a review of the recent advancement in the posture monitoring system. A detailed study has been carriedout about the various sensing technology used to measure the sitting and reading posture in real time and the feedback based on the measured data. This paper explores the various monitoring system classification based on the portability and ease of use of the system.

Operations research in courier delivery service

This research paper gives an overview of the problems faced by the courier delivery services, like Vehicle routing problem and cost minimization, and the various operations research techniques that have been applied to solve these problems. We have studied past research papers and collected some of the most efficient Operations Research techniques like the Recursive DBSCAN, CVRPPAD and travelling salesman problems. All these techniques and their application have been discussed in detail in the paper. All the techniques have their own advantages and limitations, which also, have been mentioned in this paper.

Research Paper

Application of Operations Research in agriculture logistics and supply chain

The purpose of this paper is to review already existing literature on conventional agriculture supply chain management and an analysis of the risks, opportunities and it's supply chain management. This research is an attempt to study both the conventional and organic agricultural supply chain through literature in order to reduce costs in all components (like production, warehousing, transportation, marketing, selling) of the agricultural supply chain throughout the process through operational research. The research also shows how the transition from conventional to organic agriculture can be the most cost-effective for farmers.

Operations Research in Telecommunication

Operations Research known as the science of better by the science community and by industry provides a set of tools and techniques and uses complex processes to take decisions. In this paper, we analyze the advancement of the telecommunications industry and its link to Operations research. This paper is divided into three sections. The first section talks about the objectives and the methodology of the research. In the next section we talk about the observations, the OR techniques used in the Telecommunication industry and the findings of the paper. Lastly, we talk about the limitations OR faces in the telecommunication sector.
