The diagnostic dilemma of cutis laxa: A report of two cases with genotypic dissimilarity
No full textCutis laxa is a heterogeneous group of diseases, with loose, wrinkled skin folds and hyperelasticity of the skin. There are overlapping of clinical features of the group of syndrome associated with cutis laxa, including congenital cutis laxa, wrinkly skin syndrome and gerodermia osteodysplastica. All these conditions present a challenge to the clinician. Thus, molecular diagnosis is the only way to resolve these phenotypically similar conditions. We hereby describe two Indian patients with wrinkled skin and mild craniofacial dysmorphic features who had molecular confirmation of autosomal recessive cutis laxa
Professor Puran Singh: Scientist, Poet and Philosopher
No full textProfessor Puran Singh, a unique synthesis of a poet, philosopher and scientist, rose like a celestial star on the firmament of modern Indian literature. The many splendored personality of this great chemist, mystic poet, visionary and interpreter of the Sikh cultural consciousness still beckons scholars to explore the extent of his vision in various fields. After a splendid in-depth study of the Life and Work of Puran Singh, Dr. Hardev Singh Virk has made a successful attempt to unravel the persona of this multi-dimensional genius in his book titled 'Professor Puran Singh - Scientist, Poet and Philosopher.'
The book is an anthology of 11 essays - 7 in English and 4 in Punjabi. In the 'Introduction to the book, the author traces a brief history of the kindling of his interest in the 'Life and Works of Puran Singh.' Then he articulates the purpose of the book to elaborate the ideas of this eminent scholar through different mediums to reach a wider audience. Dr. Virk stresses that poetic and other literary works of Puran Singh are of International standards and worth a Nobel Prize in literature. Still, sadly these works have not been adequately projected at the world forum

Strategies to overcome superbug invasions: emerging research and opportunities Advances in medical diagnosis, treatment, and care (AMDTC) book series./ [edited by] Dimple Sethi Chopra, Ankur Kaul
No full textIncludes bibliographical references and index."Recently, there has been an upsurge in microbial infections. Extensive and inappropriate usage of antimicrobial drugs in treating infections has led to the evolution of a resistant strain of microorganisms and irreversible immunosuppression in humans. Medical institutions and hospitals require solutions to combat these contagions in order to avoid future epidemics. Strategies to Overcome Superbug Invasions: Emerging Research and Opportunities highlights current research and potential strategies to prevent the emergence and re-emergence of drug-resistant pathogenic microbial strains. The content within this publication examines biosensing, global initiatives, nanomaterials, and alternative therapies. It is designed for microbiologists, biotechnologists, pharmacists, pharmacologists, virologists, formulation scientists, infectious disease specialists, government officials, policymakers, healthcare practitioners, doctors, nurses, hospital directors, researchers, surgeons, and academicians who are seeking research on innovative solutions for multi-drug-resistant infections."--Challenges and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) : a diagnostic perspective.

Enhanced landslide susceptibility zonation using GIS-Based ensemble techniques
No full textLandslide Susceptibility Zonation is an efficient technique decision-makers use for disaster mitigation in landslide-prone regions. This study proposes an alternate approach for LSZ mapping, aiming to mitigate the limitations of the subjective expert opinion-based methods presently employed by disaster management authorities in India. Consequently, a GIS-based ensemble of Frequency Ratio and Analytical Hierarchy Process is employed, which offers a more robust and objective evaluation of Landslide Susceptibility. A landslide inventory of 592 incidents is processed using the database maintained by the Geological Survey of India, the national nodal agency for landslide studies. Then, LSZ mapping is conducted for a selected region in the Indian Himalayas using the processed inventory and nine causative factors (Elevation, Slope, Aspect, Curvature, Terrain Ruggedness Index (TRI), Distance to drainage, Land Use/Land Cover (LULC), Geology, and Lithology) as input. The generated LSZ map is evaluated using separate subsets of the inventory, yielding accuracies of 74.13% and 75.08%, respectively, during the training and testing stages. The study's findings hold potential implications for more effective disaster mitigation strategies and early warning systems in landslide-prone regions

Book Review by Hardev Singh Virk - Science and Sikhism : Conflict and Coherence (Book Author: Dr. D. P. Singh)
No full textDr. D P Singh is a prolific writer in many areas of Science, Religion and Literature. He came into my contact almost four decades back when he started his teaching career in Shivalik College, Nangal. In my note published on the blurb of this book, I wrote: " I expect his forthcoming book" Science and Sikhism : Conflict or Coherence" will prove to be a landmark in the area of Science-Religion Dialogue, with special reference to Sikh religion". I can declare without an iota of doubt that DP has more than justified my claim on his book.
The title of the book is followed by a note "Anthology of Essays on various Concepts in Sri Guru Granth Sahib" which may be considered as a sub-title to the book. Nearly a dozen titles have appeared in the global market projecting scientific vision of Sikh Gurus enshrined in the holy pages of Sri Guru Granth Sahib but there is no rival to this volume in my view till date. The coverage of topics by DP Singh is very exhaustive. All Chapters of the book open with an appropriate quotation from Science, Religion or Literature.
The book is dedicated to "Inquisitive Human Spirit" which is displayed by the author throughout this volume. The dedication is followed by the famous quote of Freeman Dyson, the renowned Physicist: "Science and religion are two windows that people look through, trying to understand the big universe outside, trying to understand why we are here. The two windows give different views, but they look out at the same universe. Both views are one-sided, neither is complete. Both leave out essential features of the real world. And both are worthy of respect". Surprisingly, Dyson is contradicted as SGGS and Science are compatible in their world-view and there is no conflict but harmony between these two
