Acute Emergencies in Children: Children are the most volatile creations. Detecting and treating children is considered to be the most critical task by many doctors. Children don't have the ability to express if they have are facing any abnormality. In such cases it is even more essential to have the ability to identity and cure them. Any paediatrician is trained in to cure certain common Acute Emergencies in Children such as:

1. Persistent fever, stomach pains, difficulty in breathing, infections and allergies, dehydration, asthama attacks etc.
2. Children are generally prone to minor and major injuries like head injuries, burns etc.

Finding Solutions for Heart Problems


These days there has been increase in various health issues. Though all the organs and parts of the body are equally important, it is essential to take care of them. As we all know that Heart is the key organ of a body, it is very essential that the heart is taken care of well. These days there are many heart problems popping up as well. Thanks to the advancements in the field of medicine because of which doctors have come with various heart treatments that solve almost all heart related problems. Let's have a look at some of the popular heat treatments:

Interventional cardiology: Interventional cardiology is considered as a breakthrough in the field of cardiology. Interventional cardiology is a stream of cardiology which deals with catheter based treatment for structural heart diseases. It also deals with many non surgical procedures to handle cardiovascular diseases. Interventional cardiology is a procedure in which the surgeon uses catheters that are thin, flexible tubes that help to get into the blood vessels and conduct diagnostic tests or to repair the damaged vessels.

Cardiac Valve Replacement in India: heart valves play a key role in pumping blood through the heart. These heart valves pump blood due to pressure which helps them to flap them like doors resulting to flow of blood and close immediately to prevent back flow of blood. When this blood pumping is affected then it is considered a problem with the heart valves. There is a minor possibility of heart valve damage and a serious problem like complete damage to the valves. In such situations the only solution available is the Cardiac Valve Replacement.

Cardiac Valve Replacement in India is a solution used to get rid of damaged heart valves in a clinical yet safe and successful way. A Cardiac Valve Replacement in India involves using mechanical valves made of plastic, carbon or metal as they are strong, long lasting and hassle free. In many cases, a heart valve when replaced it is said to be an Open Heart Valve Replacement Surgery.

This surgery as the name suggests is a surgery in which the surgery happens the functioning of the heart is stopped for some time to reach out to the valves but the patient is alive through a machine which acts like the heart during the surgery. Once the damaged valve is detected, it is removed and the artificial valve is sewn in that location. This surgery is done meticulously and amidst a surgical team that involves anesthesiologist, surgeon, cardiologist, respiratory therapist, and nurses.

A glowing blemish free skin reflects not just the beauty of an individual but is a reflection of his health too. With increasingly more stress, pollution and chemical challenges that this natural protective barrier has to take up each day, it is imperative to ensure its health and vitality. Bombarding the skin with even more chemical stress in an attempt to relieve it of its imperfections is certainly not a solution. With Ayurvedic skin care solutions , time tested natural herbal remedies for common skin problems are utilised based on ancient Indian system of medicine. A wide range of ayurvedic products ranging from anti-acne creams ,lotions and facial masks, sun screen lotions to natural moisturisers and scrubs are available.

Ayurvedic system of medicine is based on the concept that all human illnesses and infirmities originate due to the defective body humors, phlegm, yellow bile and black bile. The treatment is thus aimed not only at relieving symptoms but at eliminating the cause of the problem. This results in sustained long term relief.

Ayurvedic Skin Care products are also targeted at the underlying cause to maintain the homeostasis of the three humors. These products being absolutely naturopathic ensure that no damage or side effects are involved with the treatment as opposed to conventional chemical agents which are prone to cause harm.

Acne is common problem faced by teenagers due to hormonal imbalances related to the physiological changes occurring in their bodies. Some times the problem is transient while at times it extends over a prolonged time span. Acne can have negative impact the psychological front in the sufferer in today's world where aesthetics are a forerunner in personal as well as professional life.

Turmeric and neem are natural anti microbial agents which can tackle the acne causing bacteria. Sandalwood with its soothing properties has a positive effect on inflamed skin. Apart from topical therapy, systemic therapy with aloe vera is effective. Ayurveda stresses upon avoidance of intake of foods which might alter the humoral balance. Thus avoidance of excessive alcohol , tea , coffee, spicy and fried food is recommended. Application of coriander juice and ground cumin seeds to the affected area is also beneficial.

Sunlight in the right amount is necessary for a healthy body and skin by the natural synthesis of vitamin D. But excessive exposure to the damaging radiations can have adverse effects on the skin.

Latest Feature For iPad 3 In 2012


People still aren't over the beauty and finesse of the iPad 2, that has successfully taken a few steps ahead of its trailblazing predecessor, and now the iPad 3 is rumored to be launched in early 2012. It was heavily speculated earlier that the super-gadget will be launched in September of 2011. However, the month went off pretty uneventful except for the impending release and sale of iPhone 4S. In fact, the iPad 3 release date may very well be February 24, 2012, the birthday of Steve Jobs, as a tribute to the works and contribution of Apple's former CEO. So, your wait to update from your iPads seems to be getting over soon. Unsurprisingly, Jobs had announced 2011 to be the year of the iPad 2, hinting at the further delay in the iPad 3 release date much ahead and stimulating anxiety amongst prospective buyers of the gadget. It is rumored that the delay was declared to accommodate the release of A6 processor alongside iPad 3.

The iPad 2 was a slightly better upgrade of iPad, but the iPad 3 will be the real deal. Its rumors began circulating even before Apple launched iPad 2 in the market. Already daydreaming about the iPad 3? Ohh.... then, let's do it together! You can surely expect the iPad 3 to be better than its predecessors but there is so much that we would still want the iPad 3 to feature... if only it were a genie in a bottle. Go through the list below on what can we expect from iPad 3 based on market speculation reports. Hopefully, it is in sync with the latest technological developments with new and better features added to it apart from just upgrading the previous ones.


iPad 3 Features: Rumors

While there are some features we would like to see on the upcoming iPad 3 like - a built-in HDMI port, better notification system, one-touch button to access the home screen, personal media locker, an improved voice navigation system and GPS, the iPad 3 features listed below have a strong plausibility to turn into reality. Watch out for the must-have iPad 3 features.

Better Resolution

The iPad 3 may come with a retina display just like the one on the iPhone 4S, which is absolutely beautiful and pristine. The resolution on the iPad 3 is rumored to be as high as 2048 X 1536. This will mean 4 times the pixels and better image quality. Some bloggers have called this feature an uncalled-for addition. However, this one feature alone could help the existing tablet market leader, Apple, to capture a large market share from its competitors. LCD panels are to be supplied by Samsung, LG Display and Sharp.

Split Keyboard

I would call this a clever move on part of Apple to come up with a simple but much-called for innovation. It will now be easier to use two hands on the tablet and type quickly. The keyboard will split to the left and right hand side of the iPad 3 screen.

3D Display

Recently, a video was leaked showing an iPad with a 3D feature. So, you can expect a 3D glass-free experience with your iPad 3 if rumor mills are to be believed. You will easily be able to watch your videos at a pristine resolution with your friend from opposite sides as it sends images in different directions.

A5/A6 Processor

The CPU of iPad 2 is A5. Although we would love to see the iPad 3 run on the quad core A6 processor, it may run on the A5 processor too. However, A5 would need some tweaking so it runs faster and more efficiently to be in sync with the needs of the retina display. By June 2012, you may expect an upgrade to A6.


Upgraded GPU

iPad 3 will possibly come with an improved GPU. Some of its hardware manufacturers are ST-Ericsson and Texas Instruments. Hopefully, the GPU will match up with iPad 3 software iOS 5 to deliver an excellent user-experience.

Thunderbolt

If the iPad 3 comes with a Thunderbolt port, it will make multimedia transfer much faster. Also, it will give an excellent data connectivity speed. This technology is witnessed in MacBook Pro presently with a speed of 10 Gbps.

Thicker

Samsung's Galaxy tabs 10.1 and 8.9, both are 8.6 mm thick. Although the iPad 2 is significantly lean at 8.8 mm thickness, Apple could deliver a slightly thicker tablet this time. The increase of 0.7 mm thickness can be attributed to the improvised retina display. That is a sacrifice we are all willing to make for breathtaking visuals.

Lighter Weight

iPad 2 was much lighter and sleeker than the iPad. Although thicker, we can expect a much lighter weight as one of the possible iPad 3 features with a carbon-fiber body. Let's hope that it will be somewhere close to 1 lb to match shoulders with Samsung's Galaxy Tab 10.1 and the PlayBook, which are lighter than the iPad 2.

Multi-tasking

Finally it's not just women, you will see your iPad 3 multi-task too! With the swipe of your four fingers. Literally. Yes, Apple is believed to soon take the swype technology to the next level. If this is true, you can easily switch between apps. Not just this, it will also make closing down apps an effortless task by just pinching icons.

4G LTE

The world is moving onto 4G with many Android gadgets, that were recently launched or are anticipated to be launched soon, sporting the fourth generation of LTE feature. The iPad 3 is also expected to have a 4G LTE as the recently released iOS 5 supports it too, this means now your videos will also buffer fast and the download speed would be like a breeze.

2GHz Dual-Core Processor

A 2GHz dual-core processor promises a better CPU speed. Since Apple is also planning to launch its A6 processor soon in the market, it will come with a new and improvised NFC chip set with a promise of better performance. This also increases the probability that Apple will release iPad 3 on a quad-core processor.

Better Speakers

Many iPad owners have also complained about the audio quality of its speakers that are located only on one corner of the iPad 2. So, if you are to rotate it for a landscape or vertical view, you'd end up with audio from only one direction. However, the rumored iPad 3 comes with stereo speakers and contributes to a better movie viewing experience, for which the previous tablets have often been used.

Camera Flash

There has been much talk about the original iPad's poor image capturing quality, in response to which, Apple launched its iPad 2 with a front camera to support video calling and a rear camera that zooms up to 5 times. However, it still did not have flash. Rumor has it that iPad 3 won't miss out this feature and may even come out with a 5MP camera. That would be a dream!

Longer Battery Life

It will be interesting to watch how Apple accommodates a better battery life on its iPad 3 with such powerful features like a retina display, 2048 X 1536 pixel resolution, a powerful processor and improved audio quality. The battery life of iPad 2 has been a disappointment to many.

SD Card Slot

One of the possible iPad 3 features is an SD card slot that will help you store your data externally too. This feature has been in great demand by all iPad owners because it has been missing in the previous versions that were available in the market for 16GB, 32GB and 64GB in-built storage capacity with a simultaneous increase in prices.

Built-in Cloud Services

This possible feature will set a trend for future tablets and smartphones. How does it make your iPad 3 better than the rest? It increases storage capacity within the iPad 3 alone so you can send and receive large data wirelessly, hence, you won't need much external storage. It fulfills your need for a large data storage device without slowing it down.

MagSafe Charger

MagSafe Chargers are currently being used in MacBooks by Apple. However, you may soon see them in newer versions of the original iPad. MagSafe chargers will provide protection against power fluctuations as well as it will shockproof the hardware considerably. If you were to accidentally trip over the charger, it will save the tablet from some damage.

Your MOM!

Well, that is the first thing that popped up in my head when I first heard of this new feature that may be a part of the enhancement plan for your iPad. I am absolutely referring to mothers here. This forthcoming release from Apple turns to-do lists in to smart programs that will remind you task(s) based upon your location. Quite a smart utilization of mobile GPS, I must admit. Whether it is as effective as mothers is a subject of debate post its release.

This time around, the iPad 3 will probably be compatible with both CDMA and GSM networks. Also, it will be available in black and white color. Your iPad 3 may have a 9.7 inches display this time, which will make it 2 inches shorter than the iPad 2. While a larger display will improve video viewing experience on 3D technology, it would be fascinating to see how Apple prevents this from hindering iPad 3's expected lightweight feature and help it compete with its competitors. While it may be too soon to comment, the iPad 3 prices are likely to follow iPad 2's footsteps, at around $499 as a starting price as there is an anticipated $100 drop in the latter's prices.

This year, Pegatron has acquired the manufacturing rights for Apple's iPad 3, over Foxconn reportedly due to the latter's poor work conditions making headlines. The ongoing speculation about the slated launch of iPad 2 Plus close to the iPhone 5 release date has created much furor about the features you can expect in these gadgets and the day when iPad 3 will be really coming out. It is almost the end of 2011 and there have been no official announcements from Apple regarding the release dates of its forthcoming gadgets. After the fire that broke out in one of Pegatron's factories that was manufacturing back panels for iPad 3, the disruption in the supply chain may cause further delay in its launch. Do not be surprised if you get to see your beloved iPad 3 in March or April 2012.

3D Scanner – A Multipurpose Digital Media


The term 3D scanning refers to a process of obtaining the accurate information of a physical object for the measurement purpose. The device used in this method is called 3D Scanner.  It is a fast and correct technique of putting measurements of an object onto the computer in an organized manner, resulting in what is commonly called 3D scan data. Once it is digital, all of the dimensions can be taken, such as volume, width, height, feature location, feature size, surface area, length, etc.

White Light Scanning describes a variety of 3D scanning devices, a known pattern of light (usually white) uses sensors to capture images of the object. Multiple sensors can be used to achieve this result.

Photogrammetry is a practice based on standard projective and photography geometry, the principle behind this is to take multiple images of an object and automatically or manually reference the common points in each photograph. To detect this, a two dimensional information machine vision is used, for example bar codes, to sort packages etc. In this process, a pair of sensors is positioned at a known distance from a part, taking two images all together and by manipulative the difference of every point of the two images, 3D measurements of entire scenes can be created.

In addition, 3D CT (computed tomography) or MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) scans are obtained by stacking a series of CT or MRI scans on each other in software. This technology was originally developed for the medical field but is now growing into industrial and manufacturing applications as well.

You can find companies providing 3D Scanning Services best of the facilities in their respective field. The Benefits of scanning services are:

• Quality investigation on the project
• Multiple scanning processes and merge parts.

Different Types of Dinosaur History


Dinosaurs dominated the earth for more than 160 million years, from the late Triassic period to the end of Cretaceous period. The name 'Dinosaur' was derived from the Greek words, 'denios', meaning terrible or powerful, and 'sauros', meaning lizard. The term was coined by the famous English biologist Sir Richard Owen in 1842. On the basis of the structure of their hips or pelvic bones, they are generally divided into two orders, namely lizard-hipped or Saurischian dinosaurs, and bird-hipped or Ornithischian dinosaurs. They can also be classified as carnivorous or meat-eating, herbivorous or plant-eating, and omnivorous or both plant and meat-eating dinosaurs. Here is an account of the different types of dinosaurs, that once thrived on earth.


Acrocanthosaurus

Acrocanthosaurus was a carnivorous bipedal i.e. two-footed dinosaur, that mainly lived in present North America about 125 to 100 million years ago, during mid Cretaceous period. Its fossil was first discovered in Oklahoma, Texas. It usually grew up to a length of 40 feet and weighed 2.4 tons. The distinguishing feature of this dinosaur was the large neural spine on the vertebrae, extending from the neck to the upper tail, which was presumed to act as a reservoir of fat and temperature regulator. Its forelimbs were strongly built, but stiff and short. The head was long and narrow, while the tail was heavy and long. This heavy tail helped in balancing the weight of the head and the body.

Albertosaurus

Albertosaurus mainly inhabited North America during the late Cretaceous period, approximately 76 to 74 million years ago. The first specimen of this animal, a partial skull was found in 1884 near Red Deer River in Alberta, Canada. The forelimbs of this meat-eating bipedal dinosaur were very small with two fingers, while the hindlimbs were long with four-toed foot. The weight of this 26 feet long dinosaur was 3 tons. It had a massive head with sharp teeth. The name Albertosaurus was given by an American geologist and paleontologist, Henry Fairfield Osborne.

Allosaurus

Allosaurus, the huge predator lived in the late Jurassic and early Cretaceous period, about 154 to 135 million years ago in North America. However, few fossil specimens were also discovered in Africa and Australia. The name was derived from the Greek words, 'allos', meaning strange or different, and 'saurus', meaning large dinosaurs.

Allosaurus was generally 30 feet long, though some of them grew up to 39 feet. This bipedal dinosaur had a large head with sharp teeth and a short neck. Hindlimbs were large and powerful, while the forelimbs were comparatively small and three-fingered. The weight of the body was counterbalanced by a heavy, long tail. They were supposed to hunt in groups and were at the top of the food chain. It is believed that they used to hunt not only the large herbivorous dinosaurs, but even the predators or the carnivorous dinosaurs.

Gigantosaurus

Gigantosaurus could grow up to a length of 43 feet, and the largest of them were estimated to be 6.2 tons. Gigantosaurus inhabited Argentina, almost 93 to 89 million years ago during the late Cretaceous period. The fossil of this huge animal was discovered in 1993 by Ruben Carolini in southern Argentina. The animal was supposed to have a good sense of smell, as a well-developed olfactory region was found in the brain.

Tyrannosaurus rex

This bipedal carnivorous dinosaur with a massive skull and long, heavy tail lived in North America and Asia in the late Cretaceous period, about 93 to 89 million years ago. The average length of this huge animal was 39 feet, however the largest specimen found till now is 42 feet long. The average height was estimated to be 20 feet, while the average weight was 7 tons. Before the discovery of Gigantosaurus, it was thought to be the largest dinosaurs.

Tyrannosaurus was not a fast runner, and hence thought to be mainly a scavenger. Forelimbs were small, but strongly built, and the hindlimbs were the longest among theropod dinosaurs in comparison to body size. Two-clawed fingers were present in the hindlimbs, while remnant of a third finger could also be detected. The skull was wide at the rear, but narrow at snout. The jaw contained curved large teeth, the largest being 30 cm in length, and was the largest for any carnivorous dinosaur.

Spinosaurus

Spinasourus or spine lizards inhabited the earth almost 95 to 70 million years ago. According to previous estimation, its average length was 39 feet and weight was 7 tons. However, recent studies have shown that, it was a giant animal that weighed about 9 tons with a length of 51 feet, which makes it the largest known carnivores. The distinguishing feature of this dinosaur was the presence of 6 feet long, fin-shaped spine on its back, which was supposed to assist in temperature regulation. Its skull was 1.75 meter long, one of the largest skull of any carnivore.

Achelousaurus

Achelousaurus was believed to be the transitional form between the ceratopsians (horned dinosaurs) and the hornless ones. It lived in North America during Cretaceous period about 83 to 74 million years ago. The average length of this animal was about 20 feet, while the weight was 6 tons. The first fossil specimen was discovered in 1995 by Scott Sampson in Montana, and was named after Achelous, the deity of Greek mythology. The characteristic feature of Achelousaurus are, a parrot-like beak, a rough boss or circular projection on the snout and behind the eyes and a long bony-neck frill with two horns.

Alamosaurus

Alamosaurus was a massive herbivorous dinosaur that inhabited North America and present day southwestern part of United States during late Cretaceous period, between 70 to 65 million years ago. The average weight of this animal was estimated to be 33 tons, and it usually grew up to a length of 69 feet. The first fossil was found in 1992 by Charles W. Gilmore. Its neck and tail were remarkably long.

Apatosaurus

Apatosaurus was a plant eater, about 70 feet long, that lived in the late Jurassic period almost 157 to 146 million years ago in western North America. The average weight of this giant animal was estimated to be 33 tons. Earlier, it was thought that due to its heavy weight, it could not support its weight on land, and hence remained submerged in water. However, recent discoveries do not support this conviction. The most distinguishing and interesting feature of this animal was the large long-neck and the long whip-like tail, which was used for defense. Its forelimbs were slightly larger than the hindlimbs, and the skull was comparatively small.

The first fossil of this dinosaur was found in 1877 by S.W. Williston. The name 'Diplodocus' was derived from the Greek words, 'diploos', meaning double and 'dokos', meaning beam. The characteristic feature was the double-beamed chevron bones present in the undersurface of the tail. It lived in North America during Jurassic period about 145 million years ago. Legs of Diplodocus were very strong, and the forelimbs were slightly shorter than the hindlimbs. Head was small as compared to the size of the body.

Dinosaurs became extinct from the face of Earth about 65 million years ago. But, scientists think that many animals have descended from dinosaurs through the evolutionary process. Due to the similarity between theropod dinosaurs and birds, dinosaurs are thought to be direct ancestors of birds. Many biologists are of the opinion that they should be grouped under one biological class. Crocodiles are also regarded to be another close relative of dinosaurs, that are still thriving on the planet Earth.
