Neuropathy, its Profile and Experimental Nerve Injury Neuropathic Pain Models: A Review.

Neuropathy is a terrible disorder that has a wide range of etiologies. Drug-induced neuropathy, which happens whenever a chemical agent damages the peripheral nerve system, has been linked here to the iatrogenic creation of some drugs. It is potentially permanent and causes sensory impairments and paresthesia that typically affects the hands, feet, and stockings; motor participation is uncommon.

Evaluation of Surgical Site Infection among Post Cesarean Patients in Mymensingh Medical College Hospital.

Surgical site infection (SSI) in postnatal period is a noteworthy misery for the mother as well as the family increasing both hospital stay and hospital expenses. SSI in post cesarean patients has not been well documented in study area despite considerable number of cesarean section performed and the relatively common occurrence of SSI. Hence this cross sectional observational study was intended in the department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Mymensingh Medical College Hospital, Mymensingh (MMCH), Bangladesh among 100 patients to assess the risk factors of incisional SSI after cesarean section from March 2012 to February 2013.

Complex effective index in graphene-silicon waveguides.

We report for the first time and characterize experimentally the complex optical conductivity of graphene on silicon photonic waveguides. This permits us to predict accurately the behavior of photonic integrated devices encompassing graphene layers. Exploiting a Si microring add/drop resonator, we show the effect of electrical gating of graphene on the complex effective index of the waveguide by measuring both the wavelength shift of the resonance and the change in the drop peak transmission.
