Reviewing disease burden among rural Indian women. |
Abstract:
The disease burden of rural Indian women is
reviewed by utilizing the data from the 'Survey of Causes of Death (rural)' annual reports
of Registrar General of India supplemented with National family health survey (NFHS-II).
The review indicates that bronchitis and asthma are the leading causes while prematurity
and heart attacks are second and third respectively. Most of the maternal deaths are
concentrated in the age group 20-24 and bleeding is the main cause of maternal death.
Tuberculosis of the lungs, malaria and burns are also important causes of death in the
early reproductive ages. Rate of suicide, burn, and anaemia diminishes with age. Though
nationwide health plans have succeeded in reducing the fatality of women's diseases to a
entrain extent, there is however, a great need for improved and effective area-specific
health programs to achieve the desired goals.
Key words: Disease burden, women, reproductive age, maternal mortality |

Kumar R,
Patel DK, Kumar R. A survey of Trace Metals Determination in Hospital Waste Incinerator in
Lucknow City, India. |
Abstract:
Information on the elemental content of
incinerator burning of human organ, animal and medical waste is scanty in India Nineteen
trace elements were analyzed in the incinerator ash from four major hospitals, one
municipal waste incinerator and two R & D laboratories engaged in animal experiment in
Lucknow city. Concentrations of Zinc and Lead were found to be very high in comparison to
other metals due to burning of plastic products. The source of Ca, P and K are mainly
bone, teeth and other animal organs. A wide variation in trace concentration of several
toxic elements have been seen due to variation in initial waste composition, design of the
incinerator and operating conditions.
Key words: Trace elements, incinerator, hospital waste |
