Quality of work life: Perception of college teachers
Get PDFSeveral Research Studies in the world have measured the Quality of Work of Employee’s in Industries, Universities, Schools, Government and Non Government Organizations. This research study highlights the quality of work life of college teachers under various dimensions. New Challenges can be faced with employee’s commitment and involvement in achieving organizational goals. This study helps the college teachers to know the level of perception towards QWL and to enhance the same by the educational administrators.. Quality of Work Life is the essential concept of favorable situations in a working environment. The Quality of Work Life facilitates employee’s training opportunities, job satisfaction and working conditions. A better Quality of Work Life improves the growth of the employee’s along with the organization growth. The universe of the study includes 12 colleges located within the Tiruchirappalli city limit and 1279 college teachers were working during May 2008 – February 2009. A sample of 239 respondents was collected from the universe. The collected data after being coded were analyzed using Statistical Package for Social sciences Research (SPSS) and various statistical tests were applied based on hypotheses and matching variables. There is a significant association between quality of work life total and quality of life in teaching environment total. It shows QWL of college teachers is in low level.Quality of Work Life: College Teachers; Perception

Profile of Patients Admitted with Acute-on-Chronic Liver Disease in a Tertiary Care Hospital Bal Kishan Gupta, Shyam Lal Meena, Vijay Kumar Meena; Jigyasa Gupta
Get PDFIntroduction: Chronic liver disease (CLD) and cirrhosis of liver are 12th leading cause of death. Acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) is an increasingly recognized entity encompassing an acute deterioration of liver function in patients with cirrhosis and it is associated with high mortality. Methodology: A total of 100 consecutive patients admitted with ACLF were studied. Chronic liver disease was defined as per 2014 ICD-10 CM Diagnosis Code K 76.9. ACLF was defined as per the Asian Pacific Association for the Study of the Liver (APASL) criteria. Grading of severity of ACLF was done as per the CANONIC study. Prognostic scores including Child- Pugh scoring system were also calculated. Results: Out of 100 patients 84 were males (mean age 44.31±13.58 years) and 16 females (mean age 40.19±19.11 years). Underlying etiology of CLD was alcoholic (76 cases), Hepatitis B virus (HBV) (10 cases), cryptogenic (seven cases), autoimmune (four cases) and Heapatitis C virus (HCV) in (three cases). There were 74% from rural area, 51% illiterate and 82% belonged to the low socio-economic status. Most common presentation of ACLF was hemetemesis (36%) followed by melena (30%), vomiting (30%), sepsis (28%), pain abdomen (27%), hepatic encephalopathy (17%) and hepato-renal syndrome (16%). Mortality rate in our study was 9% and all belonged to the alcoholic group. Severe anemia, hypoalbuminemia, hyperbilirubinemia, renal dysfunction, sepsis, hyponatremia, high PT-INR and high Child Pugh score 10-15 were associated with poor prognosis. Conclusion: Knowledge and early recognition of various risk factors may help in prevention of acute- on- chronic liver failure and early identification of various prognostic features may help in decreasing the mortality in patients of acute-on-chronic liver failure
Congenital urethral hypoplasia with urethral fistula without imperforate anus: Report of two cases
No full textTwo male children with ano/recto-urethral fistula without anorectal malformation were managed in our institute. These patients had variable clinical manifestations and associated anomalies including congenital urethral hypoplasia, renal agenesis and patent urachus. Both were treated successfully according to their status of disease-complexes. This is to discuss these rare cases and its management with review of the literature
Congenital bronchopulmonary malformations: A single-center experience and a review of literature
No full textPurpose: To present a single-center experience with 25 cases of bronchopulmonary malformations and the review the literature. Materials and Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of the medical records of patients with congenital bronchopulmonary malformations who were operated between July 1997 and July 2007 in our institute; we examined the modes of presentations, management, and outcome. Outcome of all patients was assessed over a short follow-up period (average 1.8 months). Results: Out of 25 patients, 18 (72%) were male and 7 (28%) were female. Age of patients ranged from 1 day to 11 years. The histopathological diagnosis was congenital cystic adenomatoid malformations [CCAM; n = 14 (56%)], congenital lobar emphysema [CLE; n = 5 (20%)], pulmonary sequestrations [PS; n = 3 (12%)], and bronchogenic cysts [BC; n = 3 (12%)]. Antenatal diagnosis was available in only 2 (8%) patients. The common presenting symptoms were respiratory distress and chest infections. Lobectomy was the procedure of choice . Mortality was 16% (n = 4; M: F = 3: 1). Two patients died because of overwhelming sepsis, one from compromised cardiac function, and one from aspiration which might possibly have been prevented. Conclusion: Patients with progressive respiratory distress due to these anomalies may require urgent surgical intervention regardless of age. The surgical outcome is favorable, with manageable complications. Plain x-ray chest and CT of thorax are usually sufficient for diagnosis and planning of treatment. Pathological diagnosis may differ from the imaging diagnosis. Mortality is found to be more in neonates. Apart from initial stabilization, resection of lesion and careful postoperative care is necessary to reduce mortality and morbidity

Energy loss of light ions in polypropylene absorber foils
No full textThe energy loss of Li, C and O ions in polypropylene absorber foils has been measured using 15
UD Pelletron Accelerator facility at Inter University Accelerator Centre (IUAC), New Delhi, India. The actual
experiment has been performed in low flux chamber attached to the General Purpose Scattering Chamber
(GPSC). These experimental energy loss values have been compared with the computed values based on
various empirical/semi-empirical formulations. Some interesting trends have been observed.Vishal Sharma1, P K Diwan2*, Pratibha3, Tanu Sharma3, Shyam Kumar3 and D K Avasthi4

Intramural hematoma of duodenum: An unusual complication after endoscopic therapy for a bleeding peptic ulcer
No full textIntramural hematoma of duodenum (IDH) is a relatively unusual complication associated with endoscopic treatment of bleeding peptic ulcer. This unusual condition is usually seen in children following blunt trauma to the abdomen. We describe here a case of IDH occurring following endoscopic therapy for bleeding duodenal ulcer in an adult patient with end-stage renal disease. The hematomas appeared on the second day of endoscopic intervention, caused transient duodenal obstruction and resolved spontaneously with conservative treatment in a week
