ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Acute viral hepatitis (AVH) caused by enterically transmitted hepatitis A virus (HAV) and hepatitisE virus (HEV) poses a major health problem in developing countries such as India. Co-infection with both viruses may lead to serious complications. AIM:This study was done to determine prevalence of HAV and HEV in patients presenting with Acute Viral Hepatitis and the co-infection of HAV and HEV in these patients. MATERIAL AND METHOD: A cross-sectional study was conducted in the Tertiary care Hospital. 484patients presenting with Acute Viral Hepatitis were considered in the study from Jan 2019 to Dec 2019. Serum samples were analyzed for IgM anti-HAV and IgM anti-HEV (Dipro) for the detection of HAV and HEV infection, respectively, using commercially available ELISA kits......

Key words: Hepatitis A Virus, Hepatitis E Virus, Acute Viral Hepatitis, Feco-oral Route,

ABSTRACT: Background: The energy crisis is one of the main challenges of the modern world. Numerous street light systems consume a significant amount of power. Materials, Methods, and Results: This paper aims to design an intelligent traffic sensing streetlight system, which is composed of Arduino microcontrollers, infrared sensors, and light intensity detectors, and this system tends to reduce energy consumption by considering following two features. Firstly, the fuzzy logic light intensity controller appreciates the presence of ambient light to decide the brightness of streetlight. Consequently, this controller could save energy, particularly in the morning and evening, when the presence of ambient light is prominent. Secondly, this system can comprehend the direction of automobiles, seemed almost new research with uncomplicated hardware, and.....
