Name blending
Name blending, meshing, or melding is the practice of combining two existing names to form a new name. It is most commonly performed upon marriage. According to Western tradition, the wife normally adopts the husband's surname upon marriage. Name blending is an alternative practice that attempts to assign equal cultural value to each partner's surname. In November 2012, it was reported that 800 couples in the United Kingdom had opted to blend their surnames thus far that year, primarily among "younger couples in their twenties or early thirties", with this being a leading reason for the issuance of Deed Polls to change names.

Since the early 2000s, it has also become common for celebrity couples to be given blended names in the media, usually made by combining elements of the given name of the people involved. This practice has been adopted by shippers within fandoms to describe relationships between fictional characters.

Dream pop
Dream pop is a subgenre of alternative rock and neo-psychedelia that emphasizes atmosphere and sonic texture as strongly as it does pop melody.

Dream pop came into prominence in the 1980s through groups associated with the UK label 4AD, most prominently Cocteau Twins and This Mortal Coil, and later A.R. Kane, who are credited with coining the term. During the late 1980s to early 1990s, the genre saw further proliferation through UK-based artists such as My Bloody Valentine, Slowdive, and Lush alongside US-based acts Galaxie 500, Julee Cruise, and Mazzy Star. By the late 2000s, the sound saw renewed popularity among millennial listeners through bands such as Beach House.

Retinopathy of prematurity

It primarily affects premature babies who receive neonatal intensive care, especially when supplemental oxygen therapy is used to support breathing. The manifestations of ROP span a spectrum: incomplete development of retinal blood vessels; development of pathological (harmful) retinal blood vessels (which leak and bleed); retinal fibrosis (scarring); and finally retinal detachment. The outcomes of ROP ranges from spontaneous resolution to blindness.

In the state of Maharashtra, in the Marathi language, and other local dialects  and in the neighboring state of Karnataka, the shrub is locally known as karvi (कारवी), sometimes spelled in English as karvy.

This shrub belongs to the genus Strobilanthes which was first scientifically described by Nees in the 19th century.  The genus has around 350 species, of which at least 46 are found in India. 
Because most of these species show an unusual flowering behaviour, varying from annual to 16-year blooming cycles, there is often confusion on the national scale about which plant is flowering.

Ambesh maneuver
Ambesh maneuver is a technique that involves the simple external compression of internal jugular vein in supraclavicular fossa to prevent and diagnose misplacement of the subclavian vein catheter into the internal jugular vein (IJV). The subclavian vein is a big vessel that drains the blood from the hand, forearm and the upper arm into the right side of the heart through  superior vena cava. The subclavian veins lie just behind the clavicle on each side and therefore known as subclavian vein.

Subclavian vein
The subclavian vein is a paired large vein, one on either side of the body, that is responsible for draining blood from the upper extremities, allowing this blood to return to the heart. The left subclavian vein plays a key role in the absorption of lipids, by allowing products that have been carried by lymph in the thoracic duct to enter the bloodstream. The diameter of the subclavian veins is approximately 1–2 cm, depending on the individual.
