The thin-layer drying process of food products is significantly influenced by various variables, including drying time, temperature, relative air humidity, air flow rate, surface area, material thickness, volume, and local or partial pressure. Among these are the material thickness (size) and drying temperature, which have the most effects on fruit and vegetable drying. Numerous models are referenced in the literature for examining the drying of food materials. Methods of thin layer drying includes theoretical, semi-theoretical and empirical. However, most commonly employed categories are semi-theoretical and empirical thin-layer models. Using optimization techniques, optimal models for drying agricultural products in thin layers can be predicted.

Aplastic anaemia is a relatively uncommon disease, with a significant proportion of cases manifesting within the initial three decades of an individual's lifespan. The prevalence of aplastic anaemia in Asia is significantly greater, ranging from two to three times higher, compared to the Western world. Approximately 20-40% of patients diagnosed with pancytopenia in specialised medical centres exhibit aplastic anaemia. The clinical manifestations most frequently observed include pallor, manifestations of bleeding, and fever. The majority of cases of acquired aplastic anaemia occur due to the immune-mediated destruction of hematopoietic stem cells, resulting in pancytopenia and hypocellular bone marrow. This condition can be effectively managed through either immunosuppressive therapy or hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation. In the case of children and young adults diagnosed with severe aplastic anaemia, hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation from a compatible sibling donor is the preferred treatment option. However, if hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation is not possible due to factors such as age, absence of a histocompatible sibling, or presence of other medical conditions, immunosuppressive therapy is utilised as a last resort. The management of AA poses a significant challenge in developing nations. Adverse consequences of aplastic anaemia can be minimized by enhancing patient and referring physician awareness, thereby minimising the time lapse between diagnosis and treatment.

Suicide is a significant issue in public health. Mood and psychotic disorders are the psychiatric conditions most frequently linked to suicide or severe suicide attempt. About 10% of people with schizophrenia commit suicide in their lives. The main factor lowering life expectancy in people with schizophrenia is suicide. Psychosocial and demographic factors that raise the risk of suicide in people with schizophrenia. In patients with schizophrenia, a higher risk of suicide is linked to negative treatment attitudes or non-adherence. Even after the symptoms of schizophrenia have faded, treatment is still necessary for life. The illness can be managed with medical care and psychosocial counselling. Hospitalization may be required in specific situations. Changes in sleeping habits or social withdrawal can be misinterpreted for an adolescent "phase" among other symptoms. Recognizing patients at risk, providing the appropriate therapy for psychotic symptoms, and managing co-occurring depression and substance abuse are all important components of the prevention of suicide behaviour in schizophrenia.
PLASTICULTURE: HOW MUCH BENEFICIAL
Authors: Indu Dr.
Published: June 2024

The use of various forms of plastic products in the agriculture is becoming popular for the improved crop production and reduces the use of chemicals. Plastic in the agriculture heats up and acts like a warming blanket above the ground. So the use of plastic above the ground increases the net amount of carbon dioxide that the plants take. This carbon dioxide is then used in the process of photosynthesis to make food. The plastic in the field also prevents the growth of weeds in the field. Furthermore, plasticuture requires less of herbicides, pesticides as well as water. Thus, beneficial from environment safety point of view also.
