Maternal and neonatal health care status in Somalia: A descriptive, facility-based survey
Background information: It is estimated that 287,000 women worldwide die annually from pregnancy and childbirth-related conditions, and 6.9 million under-five children die each year, of which about 3 million are newborns. Most of these deaths occur in sub-Saharan Africa. According to WHO, a woman in Somalia has one in 10 chance of dying for pregnancy or childbirth-related causes. This study assessed the availability, accessibility, and quality of emergency obstetric and neonatal care services in Somalia. Methods: From February to April 2019, a descriptive, cross-sectional health facility survey was conducted in 9 purposively selected referral Hospitals and 28 randomly selected health centers in Somalia. Multistage, cluster sampling method was used to make sure that we have subjects from all administrative areas of Somalia. The health facility tools developed by the Averting Maternal Death and Disability program were adapted for local use. A structured questionnaire and observation methods were used for data collection. Descriptive, bivariate, and multivariate logistic regression analyses were conducted. Results: Only 10.8 % of the health facilities qualified as functioning comprehensive EmONC (Emergency Obstetric and Neonatal Care) facilities and 29.7 % were Basic EmONC Facilities. 35.1% were partially performing basic EmONC and the remaining 24.3% were not providing EmONC. Neonatal resuscitation was performed in 62 % of health facilities that were surveyed. The study found that there was limited availability of human resources in all visited health facilities. Conclusion: There is a need to strengthen human resource capacity at both Health centers and Hospitals through training of health care providers as well as the provision of essential drugs, equipment, and supplies to improve EmONC services, and to reduce workload at the comprehensive EmONC facilities and increase geographic access

Impact of COVID-19 in India and its effects on different sectors of Indian Economy and it’s relation to the second-largest Post Independence Mass Migration of people
COVID-19 pandemic is subjected to be the most pivotal worldwide health crisis of the century, and the biggest threat since 2nd World war, for the human population. It emerged in Wuhan, Hubei (China) in 2019 December. The causal virus of COVID-19 is SARS-CoV-2 (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome CoronaVirus 2). According to a report by WHO (World Health Organization), COVID-19 has currently affected almost 6.2 Million people worldwide and more than 370,000 people have died. (Stats updated till 31st May 2020, 19:15 PM) No clinically proven vaccine has been designed for it yet. It has spread among the world very quickly disturbing the world’s economy and life-style drastically and accordingly ruining it. Currently, all the nations are concerned with people’s safety and have provided for their treatment and established lockdown to flatten the curve of cases. This paper studies the major impacts COVID-19 had on Indian Economical Sectors and how it lead to India’s second largest mass migration of people since post-Independence.

E-health care system
Contrasted with different nations, India has moderately low wellbeing index. This is because of the discovery of many compositedisorders examples every day. Of the numerous practices, one approach to take care of this issue is to utilize the Smart Health idea, which empowers observing of wellbeing stateof patient by medicinal services organizations, to avoid infections. There have been several researches regarding the observance of wellbeing of patient. A large portion of them concentrate just on the perusing and perception of sensor information, yet the management of information including information storage, preparing and coordination among framework, patients and human services establishments are not grown until now. This research studysuggest a plan of wellbeing observing framework named Heacam (Health care monitoring), an application to observe patient health state and to counteract maladies as right on time as could be expected under the circumstances. Heacam comprises of three subsystems: web application, database storage and API plan, and versatile framework on android stage. In any case, this study will just concentrate on the structure and advancement of the web application. Theseanalyses comprises of three fundamental viewpoints: framework structure, implementation and testing. The framework will be created utilizing Rational Unified Process (RUP) system. At last, this examination will lead to a web framework to be utilized by users.

Effect of Different Nanofluids on Thermal Performance in Trapezoidal Corrugated Channel
Using corrugated channels is one of the passive heat transfer enhancement techniques in the fabrication of heat exchange devices. Designing more effective energy systems is a challenge for researchers and engineers to minimize the consumption of energy in order to improve energy system efficiency. In the present research, an experimental study of forced convective flows of different nanofluids through a trapezoidal corrugated channel at a constant wall temperature condition was performed. Numerical simulation of a corrugated channel was applied by using the nanofluid to probe the characteristics of the flow and thermal fields. For the purpose of solving the governing equations with corresponding boundary conditions, the finite volume method is employed by implementing the CFD commercial software ANSYS-FLUENT-V16. The channel was tested under a constant heat flux of 10 KW and the volume fraction of nanofluid is taken as 0.08. it was found that the pressure drop is found highest in the nanofluid tio2-water and is decreasing in the sequence is TiO2> SiO2>Fe2O3> Al2O3> ZnO> CuO.

Ludwig’s Angina – Case Study
Ludwig's angina is extremely dangerous as it causes edema, distortion, and airway obstruction and can appear as a result of airway problems. The first phase of the management of patients with this disease is observation and intravenous antibiotics. Protecting the airway with surgical drainage will be the management of advanced diseases. In addition to this infection; pain, trismus, airway swelling, and tongue displacement lead to weak airways. Therefore, airway management is a major concern in these situations [1]. Although “normal” airway management for patients with deep neck disease is a tracheostomy with local anesthesia, in extreme cases the infection is difficult or sometimes not possible due to the required tracheostomy position or due to external neck distortion.
