RESUMEN
COVID-19 has brought a lot of turbulence and instability among manufacturing organizations. This pandemic has affected all three types of manufacturing operations- subtractive, additive and forming manufacturing processes. In this paper we have discussed how additive manufacturing has played a role in this time of crisis. There has been an increased adoption of additive manufacturing to overcome the demand created by this pandemic. The number of actors in additive supply chain have reduced and thus in the time of epidemics that has been a boom and has helped manufacturers relying on additive manufacturing to be agile and react in nearly no time to the requirements. The same has been found its use primarily in manufacturing healthcare facilities in short notices along with producing parts of medical equipment like ventilators.
RESUMEN
The new outbreak of the corona virus (Covid-19) is expanding rapidly worldwide, disrupting millions and prompting authorities to take swift measures to avoid the disease. National lockdown imposed by the Indian government since 25 March 2020, the early lockdown action shows as compared to many other Countries/states can benefit from limiting the final size of the epidemic. A report on the issue of spreading the Covid-19 modeling in India is under review. This study analyzes Covid-19 infections by 20Dec 2021 and presents a mathematical approach for forecasting new cases or cumulative cases in practical situations. This forecast is much needed to schedule/continue medical set-ups for possible action to tackle the Covid-19 outbreak. It is important to mention here that the number of authors has proposed different models for predicting the expansion of Covid-19 to India and other countries; almost no model has yet to be demonstrated viable. With this mathematical model, it is simple to forecast the transfer of Covid-19. It is clear from the data that lockdown has played a significant role in controlling the transmission of the disease. A close match between the predicted empirical results and the available results proves the derived model similarity.
RESUMEN
The ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF) is an area of intense research in cardiac electrophysiology. In this review, we discuss the development of catheter-based interventions for AF ablation. We outline the pathophysiologic and anatomic bases for ablative lesion sets and the evolution of various catheter designs for the delivery of radiofrequency (RF), cryothermal, and other ablative energy sources. The strengths and weaknesses of various specialized RF catheters and alternative energy systems are delineated, with respect to efficacy and patient safety.
