Cervical Spondylosis Managed With Homoeopathy: A Case Report.

Context: Cervical spondylosis (CS) is a chronic degenerative condition that presents with chronic neck pain and stiffness with radiation of pain to the occiput or upper limbs and a sensation of numbness or tingling. Conservative treatment only provides short term relief.

Objective: This case was undertaken to evaluate the efficacy of individualised homoeopathy in the management of CS.

GaAs diodes for TiT-based betavoltaic cells.

The GaAs semiconductor structures for the application as betavoltaic power sources were investigated. Three types of structures underwent a comparative study: a Schottky diode, a p-n junction and Schottky structure modified by deposition of a carbon layer. The power characteristics were estimated by Monte-Carlo simulation and collected current calculation using parameters obtained from the electron beam induced current technique.

New functional material: spark plasma sintered Si/SiO nanoparticles - fabrication and properties.

A bulk nanostructured material based on oxidized silicon nanopowder was fabricated using a spark plasma sintering technique. Structural investigations revealed that this material has the composition of ∼14 nm core Si granules inside an SiO shell. Photoluminescence measurements have shown that the emission spectra lie in the energy range of 0.

Composition, Morphology, and Topography of Galvanic Coatings Fe-Co-W and Fe-Co-Mo.

Ternary coatings Fe-Co-W with an iron content of 40-55 at.%, cobalt 39-44 at.%, and tungsten 4-12 at.

Echocardiographic evaluation of heart in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patient and its co-relation with the severity of disease.

Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has considerable effects on cardiac functions, including those of the right ventricle, left ventricle, and pulmonary blood vessels. Most of the increased mortality associated with COPD is due to cardiac involvement. Echocardiography provides a rapid, noninvasive, portable, and accurate method to evaluate the cardiac changes.
