4. In case level of hemoglobin becomes extremely low, it
can lead to enlargement of the heart and signs of heart
failure may also show up.
5. When infants and small children continue to suffer
from low hemoglobin for a long time, it causes poor
neurological development in them.
6. During the growing up years, these children often
show behavioral disturbances and unsatisfactory
performances in academics. It also makes them prone to
lead poisoning.

1. The main reason behind low hemoglobin is deficiency of iron in
body.
2. This is because iron is responsible for the production of
hemoglobin.
3. People who do not include sufficient iron rich food in their diet tend
to develop iron deficiency.
4. When the body is incapable of absorbing certain vitamins,
production of hemoglobin also gets affected.
5. In some people, specific types of genetic disorders such as thala
ssemia and sickle cell disease are responsible for low hemoglobin.
6. It is also found in those people who have a medical history of
alcoholism.

1. Doctors prescribe iron supplements and vitamin supplements to
improve the level of hemoglobin.
2. They recommend correct dosage of the iron supplement as per the
health condition of the patient. If the hemoglobin count is extremely
low, stronger dose of iron supplements are needed.
1. Foodstuffs that supply a high amount of iron are leafy vegetables,
dried peas, beans, cereals, dried apricots and raisins. Also, red meat,
shrimp and oysters are good sources of iron.
2. Proper diet and medication,
3. High iron food in their daily diet .
4. The level of hemoglobin is not going to rise instantly. It will take
several months before one can see signs of improvement.

This document discusses the importance of estimating hemoglobin levels during pregnancy to check for and manage anemia. Hemoglobin should be estimated initially and at 28 weeks to diagnose and treat anemia if present. Moderate anemia is defined as hemoglobin between 7-11g/dl and severe anemia is less than 7g/dl. If a pregnant woman is found to be anemic, she should start iron supplements and have her hemoglobin rechecked after 1 month, referring her to a higher facility if there is no improvement. Hemoglobin can be estimated in resource-limited areas using a simple and inexpensive color scale developed by the WHO.

Electrochemical method of analysisSiham Abdallaha

Electrochemical methods are analytical techniques that use measurements of potential, charge, or current to determine an analyte's concentration or characterize its reactivity. There are several types of electrochemical methods including potentiometry, voltammetry, coulometry, conductometry, and dielectrometry. Potentiometry measures the potential of a solution between two electrodes and relates the potential to analyte concentrations. Voltammetry applies a constant or varying potential at an electrode and measures the resulting current. Coulometry completely converts an analyte from one oxidation state to another by applying current or potential and measuring the total current passed. Potentiometric titration uses two electrodes to measure the potential across a solution during a titration rather than using

Red blood cells contain hemoglobin and transport oxygen around the body. A normal red blood cell count is 4.0-5.9 million cells per liter of blood for men and 3.8-5.2 million cells per liter of blood for women. Low red blood cell count can be caused by iron deficiency anemia, vitamin deficiencies, internal bleeding, or kidney disease. High red blood cell count can be caused by smoking, congenital heart disease, dehydration, or low blood oxygen levels. Hemoglobin is a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen, with each hemoglobin molecule able to carry 4 oxygen molecules. Oxygen binds to hemoglobin in the lungs and is released from oxyhemoglobin in tissues where

Sickle cell anemia diseaseankitupadhyaya

Sickle cell anemia is a disease where red blood cells take on an abnormal sickle shape. This is caused by a defective hemoglobin protein within the red blood cells. When the defective hemoglobin called HbS is without oxygen bound to it, it forms precipitates that cause the cells to sickle. A person's genes determine if they have sickle cell anemia - having two normal genes prevents the disease, while having two sickle cell genes causes a severe case. Treatments include blood transfusions, antibiotics, hydroxyurea, and potentially a bone marrow transplant in severe cases.

Adrenal gland disorders include hypofunction which can lead to acute or chronic insufficiency, and hyperfunction which often leads to overproduction of androgens or cortisol. Acute adrenocortical insufficiency occurs suddenly due to infection or abrupt cessation of corticosteroid therapy, causing low blood pressure, fever, dehydration, hypoglycemia, and seizures. Congenital adrenal hyperplasia is inherited and causes overproduction of androgens due to inability to produce cortisol, resulting in masculinization of female genitalia and precocious puberty if untreated. The salt-losing form also causes loss of sodium and fluids leading to dehydration, weight loss, and

Red blood cells contain hemoglobin and transport oxygen around the body. Normal red blood cell counts are 4.0-5.9 million cells per liter of blood for men and 3.8-5.2 million for women. Low red blood cell count can be caused by iron deficiency anemia, vitamin deficiencies, internal bleeding, or kidney disease. High red blood cell count can be caused by smoking, heart disease, dehydration, low blood oxygen, or pulmonary fibrosis. Hemoglobin is the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen, with each hemoglobin molecule carrying four oxygen molecules. Oxygen binds to hemoglobin in the lungs and is released from oxyhemoglobin in tissues with low oxygen levels. A 6-month

ThalassemiaANKUR SINGH

This presentation provides an overview of thalassemia, including what it is, its types and symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment options. Thalassemia is a blood disorder where the body does not produce enough hemoglobin or red blood cells, causing anemia. There are two main types: alpha thalassemia affects alpha chain production and beta thalassemia affects beta chain production. Symptoms include fatigue, jaundice, and skeletal deformities. Diagnosis involves blood tests and genetic testing. Treatment may include regular blood transfusions to manage anemia, iron chelation therapy to remove excess iron, and in some cases bone marrow transplants.

It provides details on the functions and deficiency symptoms of each of the major macro and micro nutrients.

Plant nutritentsvigyanashram

Nutrients reach plant roots through three mechanisms: mass flow with water, diffusion along concentration gradients, and root interception as roots extend. Roots absorb nutrients both passively through membranes or actively through ion-specific carriers. To maintain electrical balance, plants absorb cations and excrete hydrogen ions or produce organic anions, while absorbing anions and excreting bicarbonate ions or compensating cations. Nutrients can also be absorbed through leaves via stomata, allowing rapid uptake to correct deficiencies, though this does not build soil fertility and can cause toxicity.

Polyhouse technologyvigyanashram

Polyhouse technology provides controlled growing conditions for fruits, vegetables, and flowers through the use of covered or partially covered structures. This allows year-round production and higher yields compared to traditional farming. Polyhouses protect plants from extreme weather, pests, and diseases while maintaining optimal temperature, humidity, carbon dioxide, and light levels. Common polyhouse designs include barrel shaped, ridges and furrows, and saw tooth structures made of frames covered with transparent sheeting materials like polyfilm. Crops grown include vegetables, flowers, and landscaping plants. Adopting polyhouse technology could help boost Indian agricultural production and exports.

Plant propogationvigyanashram

Plant propagation can occur through seeds, cuttings, grafting, or tissue culture. Seeds develop into plants when subjected to the right environmental conditions like soil, water, temperature, and light. Cuttings involve rooting stem or branch cuttings, while grafting combines tissues from similar or dissimilar plants. Tissue culture grows plants from collected plant tissues in a sterile nutrient solution. Sexual propagation uses seeds to create genetically variable offspring, while asexual propagation through cuttings and grafting reproduces plants identical to the parent. Propagation is important for multiplying species, protecting endangered plants, improving plant qualities, and producing commercial crops.

Plant nursery basicsvigyanashram

Nurseries are places where plants are grown, nurtured, and sold. There are two main types of nurseries - permanent nurseries that operate continuously and temporary nurseries that operate seasonally. Nurseries can also be classified by the types of plants grown, including fruit plant nurseries, vegetable plant nurseries, flower plant nurseries, and forest plant nurseries where seedlings and grafts of various commercial crops and trees are developed.

Importance of food preservationvigyanashram

This document discusses food preservation. It defines food preservation as a process that prevents food and vegetables from spoiling while also preserving their color, taste, and nutritive values. This allows food products to last for long periods of time and increases their shelf life. Different types of foods like fruits, vegetables, and meat are classified as perishable, while processed foods like cheese and ice cream are semi-perishable and can last up to two months. Shelf-stable foods like grains can last over six months. Food preservation allows people to enjoy different types of foods in any season, eat foods not available in their local area, and easily store food without worry.

Food spoilingvigyanashram

Food spoils due to the presence of microorganisms like bacteria and fungi, as well as enzymes. When bread, chapatis, or other foods are left in open air, microbes like mold or yeast can grow on them. Leaving cooked food in copper pots or milk exposed to air allows bacteria to grow and spoil the food. Various microorganisms, enzymes, insects, worms, and rats can all contribute to food spoilage if the food is not properly preserved.

Food preservation techniquesvigyanashram

This document discusses various techniques for food preservation, including thermal processing (e.g. pasteurization), cold processing (e.g. chilling, freezing), controlling water content through dehydration, and using preservatives. Thermal processing involves heating food to temperatures above 82°C to kill microorganisms. Cold processing slows microbial growth by subjecting food to low temperatures around 0°C. Controlling water content through dehydration removes water needed by microorganisms to grow. Preservatives like salt, sugar, and chemicals inhibit microbial growth.

Information Sources & Resource and Various uses_.pptxCentral University of South Bihar, Gaya, Bihar

An information resource refers to any material, tool, or medium that provides factual data, knowledge, or guidance for learning, research, or decision-making. It encompasses a wide range of formats, including books, journals, databases, websites, audiovisual content, and digital repositories. Information resources are typically organized, stored, and made accessible for users through libraries, archives, or online platforms. Unlike an information source, which is the origin or provider of the knowledge (like a person or an institution), an information resource is the product or recorded form of that knowledge. In educational settings, information resources are essential for teaching, learning, and academic inquiry, helping students and researchers explore topics, gather evidence, and develop informed perspectives. Effective use of information resources depends on the user’s ability to locate, evaluate, and apply them appropriately. As such, they play a critical role in promoting information literacy and supporting lifelong learning across various disciplines. nformation Age and Its Types 📌 Definition of the Information Age The Information Age—also known as the Digital Age or Computer Age—is the current era of human history where the creation, distribution, and manipulation of information has become the most significant economic, cultural, and technological force.

Lung diseases are a major group of disorders that affect the structure and function of the respiratory system. In pathology, they are classified based on the part of the lung involved — airways, alveoli, interstitium, blood vessels, pleura, or a combination of these. Lung diseases can be acute or chronic, infectious or non-infectious, and localised or diffuse. Obstructive diseases (e.g. chronic obstructive pulmonary disease - COPD) where airflow is restricted.

AI-based Information Retrieval from Structured Text Documents.pdfAmritha Premkumar

The rapid expansion of unstructured and semi-structured textual data in technical documentation, industrial datasheets, and regulatory reports has created an urgent need for automated knowledge extraction and representation systems. Traditional rule-based and keyword-driven approaches often fail to capture semantic relationships, hierarchical structures, and contextual dependencies, limiting their effectiveness in structured data retrieval. This thesis explores AI-driven structured knowledge extraction using Large Language Models (LLMs), specifically GPT-4o and Gemini 2.0 Flash, to generate XML-based knowledge graphs from unstructured PDFs. The proposed methodology consists of a multi-stage AI pipeline that integrates text extraction, structured representation, confidence-aware entity extraction, and question-answering (QA) capabilities: • Text Extraction and Preprocessing: A layout-aware text extraction using pdfplumber accurately retrieves textual content from multi-column, tabular, and graphically embedded PDFs. The system ensures context preservation, structural consistency, and efficient handling of complex document formats. • Structured Knowledge Graph Generation: Extracted text is processed using GPT-4o and Gemini 2.0 Flash to transform unstructured content into hierarchically structured XML representations, ensuring that extracted information is machine-readable and semantically rich. • Confidence-Based Entity Extraction: Gemini 2.0 Flash introduces a confidence-aware extraction framework, where each extracted attribute is assigned a confidence score (0.0–1.0), allowing for uncertainty estimation, ranking of high-confidence attributes, and filtering of unreliable extractions. • Question-Answering (QA) over Structured Data: The thesis implements QA systems: (i) Rule-Based Querying which directly maps structured queries to XML elements for fast and precise information retrieval, and (ii) AI-Powered Semantic QA using GPT-4o and Gemini 2.0 Flash which interpret natural language queries, by extracting relevant information dynamically from structured knowledge graphs. • Performance Benchmarking and Evaluation: The structured extraction and QA models are evaluated using: (i) precision, recall, and F1-score to assess extraction accuracy, (ii) processing time and scalability to measure computational efficiency, (iii) schema compliance to ensure adherence to predefined XML structures, and (iv) confidence-score reliability to validate uncertainty estimation in entity extraction.
