    Mammograms - everything you need to know

    What is a mammogram?
    A mammogram is an x-ray picture of the breast.
    Mammograms can be used to check for breast cancer in women who have no signs or symptoms of the disease. This type of mammogram is called a screening mammogram. Screening mammograms usually involve two x-ray pictures, or images, of each breast. The x-ray images make it possible to detect tumors that cannot be felt. Screening mammograms can also find microcalcifications (tiny deposits of calcium) that sometimes indicate the presence of breast cancer.

    ABSTRACT:
    The importance of education cannot be denied in one’s life. It sustains the human values which supply to the individual and collective good. The relationship between universal human rights and educational equity and access within the context of the educational system It forms the origin for lifelong learning and inspires buoyancy to face challenges. It will give the skills to individuals to become more self-reliant and aware of right opportunities. It also enhances the ability of individuals to act more responsible and more informed citizens and have a voice in politics and society, which is essential for sustaining democracy. The importance of primary education has been neglected by India since independence knowingly or unknowingly. However, Government of India now is willing to improve primary education by bringing legislation i.e. Right to Education. But efforts through Right to Education (RTE) to improve the quality of school education seem to be yielding little result. The learning outcome in reading, writing and arithmetic is becoming poorer and enrolment in private schools is improving significantly, indicating a growing distrust of the common man against state-run schools in the country. This paper tries to bring out the meaning of much awaited Right to Education (RTE) 2009, act and tries to bring out the critical appraisal of the Act after five years since its passage.

While North America still leads production with 41% of world pharmaceutical sales, Europe is catching up with 26.7%.[1] According to the European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Associations, the European market alone generated more than 205 billion Euros in 2011, with Italy contributing about 25 billion.[2] The worldwide healthcare industry is further boosted by growing market and research efforts in emerging economies such as Brazil, China and India, leading to a gradual migration of economic and research activities from Europe to these fast-growing markets.

    Onion, Garlic & Ginger hold promise for future medication

    Editorial, July 2015 issue

    “ We all know about onion, garlic and ginger. People are using them as food, salad, spice, or condiments (I put their use together). Many recipes are tasteless and considered to be incomplete without their use (onion, garlic and ginger) in dishes. There are various uses or documented uses (in various ailments) of these three natural stuff, uprooted from ground, when matured. The trio is underground modification of stem. Onion and garlic are bulbs and ginger is an example of rhizome, from view point of botany. Will it be wrong to compare these three with Vicks, Iodex and Zandu Balm, from view point of utility and importance and indispensability?
