This book is a guide to the prompt diagnosis and management of infections during pregnancy in order to minimise perinatal morbidity and mortality. Beginning with the latest guidelines on screening for infections, the following chapters cover the prevention and treatment of numerous infections, from rubella, chickenpox, and mumps, to toxoplasmosis, tuberculosis, urinary tract infections, and much more. Each infection is presented in a uniform format, describing a case scenario, pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and treatment. The final chapters cover vaccinations and use of antibiotics during pregnancy. Key points and multiple choice questions conclude each topic for quick revision and the text is further enhanced by clinical images and tables. Cases reference standard guidelines from Cochrane reviews, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (ACOG), the Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of Canada (SOGC), the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), and the South Asian Federation of Obstetrics and Gynaecology (SAFOG).

According to dictates of the Holy Vedas, "Anything born must die. You do not die before your assigned time. But die not a thousand deaths, before your destiny gives you a call.” (Atharva, 5.30.6.) Such a sermon has been echoed in the Holy Gita as well. ‘Providential Dictates’ provides the reader with a cocktail of tragedies and comedies, romances and contradictions of caste and cultural bias prevailing in the Indian society. This professional and emotional memoir also incorporates entertaining profiles of signs of progress in the lives of respectable medical men. Why does Rupashree, the only child of the Dean of a Medical Institution, a glamorous woman born and brought up in opulence and sophistication take her own life, in spite of being married to a handsome officer as graceful as a Greek God? What are the social contradictions or the mythological aberrations which impede progress and happiness in the society? What is the truth behind glittering lives of medical men in the society? Are these patrons of clubs and mall culture really as generous and moralizing as they are meant to be? One has to read on to find out.

This book is designed for researchers and students interested in carbon dots applications in health care, especially as a theranostic agent. Carbon Dots as Theranostic Agents focuses on the fundamental understanding along with the applications of this unique fluorescent nano-biomachine. The book begins with the explanation that carbon dots fall between the usual daily macro or bulk physics and the quantum mechanics and covers their unique properties like quantum mechanics and quantum confinement. It then encompasses the domain of various physical, chemical and biological methods that efficiently synthesizes the carbon dots and their desired properties. The basic characterization techniques used for carbon dots is also covered in this book. Conjugation of carbon dots with different moieties is another aspect that enhances its applications, hence this is highlighted too. The book also details how to maneuver the carbon dots for their use in targeted drug delivery with emphasis on cancer and neurodegenerative disease as well as cellular imaging and diagnostics. One of the unique features of this book is that it reports on the use of carbon dots to act as a nano-fertilizer, as a drug/antibiotic delivery vehicle to diseased plants through foliar application.
True Souls Two strangers embark on an adventure in a strange city. The stars above and the waves beyond witness their souls getting entangled in a beautiful mess. Funky Piya, nerdy Siddhanth. She is a hot mess, he is a philosopher. And a life story. Before it could turn into a happily ever after, life happens and they are torn apart.

This book will be about various aspects related to applications and use of knowledge of nanotechnology in promoting defense activities. The area in which scientists are focusing includes (i) nano-devices such as sensors, GPS & computers, chemical & biological weapons, nano-fabrics, bulletproof materials, nano-stealth coating, use of nanotechnology in various areas of aerospace. It is intended to cover available methodologies and understanding of technologies for these applications. Not only for destructive but also to improve medical and casualty, safety care for soldiers, and to produce lightweight, strong and multi-functional materials for use in body armour, both for protection and to provide enhanced connectivity will be covered.
NANOPARTICLES FOR THERAPEUTIC APPLICATIONS The main goal of this book is to provide information on theranostic applications of various nanomaterials for different diseases with self-explanatory illustrations and fundamental descriptions of a plethora of properties of molecular traits. The author has written a fascinating book on research topics and fundamentals in the cross-disciplinary area of nanotechnology and bioscience in which she successfully fuses otherwise divergent research topics of this rapidly emerging area. The book deals with the use of nanomaterials for combatting various diseases and disorders of the human body. The three chapters of the first part of this book deal with the areas in which nanotechnology has contributed to nanomedicine. In the second part, different disorders like cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, genetic diseases, infectious diseases, cardiovascular disorders, eye, dentistry, bone, and cartilage-affecting diseases are discussed. In the chapters related to a disease or disorder of a particular organ, a basic brief introduction to them is given as well. Audience The book will be read by researchers, scientists, and graduate students in biotechnology, nanotechnology, materials science, and nanomedicine/biomedicine.
Between the late sixteenth and early twentieth centuries, Banaras, the iconic Hindu center in northern India that is often described as the oldest living city in the world, was reconstructed materially as well as imaginatively, and embellished with temples, monasteries, mansions, and ghats (riverfront fortress-palaces). Banaras’s refurbished sacred landscape became the subject of pilgrimage maps and its spectacular riverfront was depicted in panoramas and described in travelogues. In Banaras Reconstructed, Madhuri Desai examines the confluences, as well as the tensions, that have shaped this complex and remarkable city. In so doing, she raises issues central to historical as well as contemporary Indian identity and delves into larger questions about religious urban environments in South Asia.
