BACKGROUND Conjunctival diseases of the eye are varied with significant environmental influence. Though they are widely prevalent with lot of morbidity associated with it, still it is not taken that very seriously as Corneal or Retinal conditions. Yet these conjunctival diseases lead to lot of loss of productive Man Hours at work and also absenteeism at school. We decided to take up one such condition called Vernal Conjunctivitis also known by names like spring catarrh, seasonal allergic conjunctivitis etc. Its chronic course with seasonal exacerbations was studied in detail and analysed in this study. The aim of the study is to analyse aetiopathogenesis and clinical profile of vernal keratoconjunctivitis (VKC) amongst patients attending our Eye Department at a Tertiary Care Medical College Hospital in Chennai from patient records of past 6 months.
Composite materials combine two distinct materials to obtain enhanced properties. Composite materials are as old as jute natural fiber as reinforcement material with polymer materials matrix. A specimen product of such a composite will be developed through layer by layer method at a certain temperature to suit the processes. The composite will be tested for its mechanical properties using conventional testing machines and the results will be recorded. The campsite will also be analyzed using ANSYS software for its mechanical properties and the result will be compared with the experimental results the resulting properties would help to identify the suitable applications for this composite.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
