ABSTRACT Cardiac transplant is a life-saving procedure and with the advancement in technology, it is rapidly becoming available for patients in all corners of the world. As the heart transplant program is extended to Eastern India, this is an opportune moment to look back on the history of this medical miracle and how we reached the current level of excellence. this article is a brief recount of that illustrious history.

Everybody is at risk of being infected by drug-resistant microscopic organisms. Managing with sickness has never been less demanding within the history of our species. At the current rate of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in microbes, specialists foresee that battling infections tuberculosis, HIV, and intestinal sickness will become more complicated. Antimicrobial resistance is rendering numerous life-saving drugs useless. Antibiotic-resistant microbes, known as “superbugs,” are getting to be more various and more harmful, thanks to the proceeding abuse of anti-microbials. Natural medication offers an alternative to these progressively ineffectual drugs. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), traditional medicine is a holistic term enclosing diverse health practices. Concurring to a report by the College of Maryland Therapeutic Center, turmeric's volatile oil serves as a common anti-microbial.

This article attempts to cover the history of the International Association of Conference Interpreters (AIIC) from its beginnings in the early fifties to present day challenges and recent developments. As AIIC evolved and its membership increased to about 2500 members around the world, so did its complexity. Its evolution mirrors the coming of age of a profession with the concomitant challenges that every profession and professional organization must face today: safeguarding standards of quality, maintaining and improving working conditions, the forces of deregulation and changes brought about by new technologies. AIIC can look back on solid accomplishments covering most every facet of the profession, its achievements serving professional interpreters around the world, whether they are members of AIIC or not.

Growing Population

The dangers of mass emergencies are greater today than ever before in the history of man. The reasons are:1) The exponential growth of the world population from 2 billion in 1925 to 4 billion today and to an expected 8 billion in the year 2025. This growing population is badly in need of more and more food and energy to sustain itself.2) The increasingly severe competition world-wide for the available supplies of food and energy will precipitate mass emergencies and even mass disasters. Some of these mass disasters, such as nuclear war, have the potential to destroy entire countries…or even the human race itself.No matter how gloomy the outlook is, however, it is still the task of the medical profession to recognize this growing danger and to do everything possible to be prepared for and treat not only individual emergencies, but mass disasters as well.

This paper is a study in mapping out more about the process of formation of the Muslim community in Indonesia. History is a reconstruct of the past. It seems as if the past was to be away from the present. Is it true that this view. We borrow the Kuntowijoyo’s words: “Historians are like people take who takes the train to look back, and he can freely turn to the right and to the left, which can not be done is to look ahead”. History is a valuable clue, a picture of the past that can be used as guidelines in stride, present and future. The Indonesian Islam history has significance for this nation generation. Because it has its own characteristics compared to the history of Islam in other countries. It can give the feel of the real Islam in Indonesia. The Indonesian Islam is an Islamic hue promising future in the era of globalization. Thus, Indonesian Islam will be in focus in the eyes of the world. In this description, the writer describes the entry and the development of Islam in Indonesia with discussion; process and the introduction of Islam to Indonesia, acceptance by indigenous and institutionalization of Islam in society. Then, point the establishment of Islam in Indonesia, as well as the transformation of Indonesia society

Waitlist Mortality

Introduction: U.S. heart allocation policies are currently under review. However, investigations into prioritization schemes for patients waiting for transplantation are hampered by the paucity of post-listing event data and complicated by widespread Mechanical Circulatory Support (MCS) usage. Hypothesis: A dynamic score can predict mortality and inform prioritization of patients awaiting heart transplant or considered for listing at time of MCS implant using clinical data, time-varying exposures, and laboratory values during listing. Methods: From 1/2008 to 6/2013, patients listed for transplant (n=314, 76%) or implanted with a MCS device with intention to list (n=101, 24%) were identified. Factors for a predictive, time-varying hazard model were selected from 74 pre-listing variables, 8 events and complications, and routine laboratory results after listing. Results: Seventy-eight deaths and 381 adverse events occurred during listing. A score based on 17 variables was developed, including black race, actual listing (vs. MCS), pulmonary artery pressure, history of coronary artery disease, diabetes, and ventricular tachycardia at listing, MCS implant and complications, dialysis, respiratory events, and neurologic events on the waitlist, and time-varying serum total bilirubin and creatinine. The figure shows a sample of predicted mortality scores varying over time as events and changes in biomarkers occur. Conclusions: We demonstrated a dynamic, updatable mortality risk score that predicts urgency among patients waiting for hearts independent of most demographics, heart failure etiology, symptoms, and cardiac function. This score tracks dynamic changes with time as biomarkers change and adverse events occur. MCS-related complications, neurologic events, and kidney failure significantly affect mortality. Future changes to U.S. heart transplant policies could use this newly developed tool as part of a larger allocation system.

PANDEMIC: the term making headlines across the world, instilling fear in many, and urging scientists across the world to unite and find a cure. For as long as the global population has exploited freedom of travel, so too have infectious diseases spread. Outbreaks have been nearly constant since the dawn of mankind; however, not all escalate to global levels. There have been many pandemics in history, the most recent being COVID-19 declared as such by the World Health Organization (WHO) on March 12th, 2020.1 As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to disrupt our everyday lives, it is important to look back in history and reflect on what previous pandemics have taught us.

An important problem of religious studies, the history of religion as a branch of knowledge is the periodization process of the development of religious phenomenon. It is precisely here, as in focus, that the question of the essence and meaning of the religious development of the human being of the world, the origin of beliefs and cult, the reasons for the changes in them, the place and role of religion in the social and spiritual process, etc., are converging.
