Study to Evaluate Effectiveness of Structured Teaching Programme on Knowledge Regarding Hypertension and Its Management among Hypertensive Clients in Selected Hospitals of Amritsar
Abstract: Hypertension is an important risk factor for cardiovascular and renal diseases including stroke, coronary heart diseases, heart failure and kidney failure. Hypertension—the silent killer-remains asymptomatic until its damage effects are seen. It has been figured that almost one third of B.P.-related deaths occur from coronary heart disease. It is also estimated that a 3 mm Hg reduction in systolic B.P. could lead to an 80% reduction in stroke mortality and …

Optimization of Effects of FMEA to Enhance Quality and Efficiency of CNC Machines in Valve Manufacturing Industry
Abstract: Failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) is a systematic method for identification and preventing problems of products and process before its occurrence. FMEA focus on preventing defects, enhancing safety and increasing customer satisfaction. The FMEA needs to define parameters such as Severity (S), Occurrence (O), Detection (D) and Risk Priority Number (RPN). The conventional FMEA and grey relational analysis approaches are applied in this work. The rankings of the failure …
