Nano-technology Courses

Nano- technology courses offer knowledge and training on the development and modification of devices with atomic precision where the dimension of particles is less than 100 nanometers. It is an interdisciplinary subject that integrates the stud of Bio- informatics Bio- technology, Physics, Chemistry as well as other disciplines. There is a huge demand for students who have done Nano-Technology Courses in a good number of industries and laboratories in India and abroad. The scope and application of nanotechnology is wide ranging and therefore many institutes are now introducing degree courses in this field at the graduate and post graduate level. Benefits: Being an interdisciplinary subject, students with a degree in nanotechnology can find employment opportunities in a number of fields. Some of the areas where a nano-technologist can seek employment include the following: Agriculture Food and Beverage Teaching Genetics Bio-technology Space Research Forensic Science Environment industr...

Read your hands to know your diseases, new research says

London: Do you have club fingers? Then it's possible you may have lung cancer. A new study in the latest issue of the Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine reveals your hands can provide clues to hidden diseases you may have.Researchers came to this conclusion after studying the palms of a woman tested positive for ovarian cancer. A 74-year-old woman who was otherwise healthy sought medical help for hard lumps that had developed on her palms. These had gradually spread and joined together, giving the palm a 'wooden' feeling, making movement difficult and painful. Doctors could not find anything obviously wrong, but she was tested for - and diagnosed with - ovarian cancer after they read medical literature and found that the lumps (called palmar fasciitis) were a rare sign of the disease. Why a tumour has this effect on hands remains a mystery. But one theory is that cancer cells pump out chemicals that trigger fibrosis, or scarring of tissue. The study's author, Gra...

Washington: Washing hands properly with soap and water is known to reduce neonatal deaths in developing countries, according to a report. Researchers came to this conclusion based on data in an observational study of 23,662 newborns through 28 days of life in rural southern Nepal from 2002 to 2006. "It is estimated that there are approximately four million neonatal deaths each year, with more than 99 percent occurring in low- and middle-income countries," the report said. "About half of these deaths occur at home where mothers receive little or no perinatal care. These neonatal deaths are attributable primarily to infections, pre-maturity and birth asphyxia." Researchers from Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, Baltimore, gave questionnaires to mothers of the infants the day after delivery and two weeks later to identify maternal and birth attendant hand washing practices. More than 90 percent of births occurred at home or outdoors while the mother was ...
