The Awards have been instituted to recognize outstanding contributory articles published in the ‘Indian Obstetrics & Gynaecology - Journal for Basic & Clinical Research’. The Awards ceremony wasattended by around 500 eminent Obstetricians & Gynaecologists from various parts of the country.

Addressing the dignitaries and doctors present; Mr. Aditya Berlia, Member, Management Board of the Apeejay Stya Group said “According to WHO, 800 women die of pregnancy related complications and child birth everyday, 99% of these deaths occur in developing countries. Majority of these deaths are preventable. India, unfortunately accounts for 19% of all global maternal death and has the highest maternal death rate in the world.It also accounts for 23.6% of global preterm births, with a preterm birth rate of 13%. The contribution of these preterm births to overall prenatal morbidity and mortality is more than 85%”. Today’s oration endeavours to provide an opportunity to evaluate and treat problem pregnancies.

In her inaugural address, Mrs. Sushma Berlia, President of Apeejay Stya & Svrán Group, and Chancellor, Apeejay Stya University said, “When we talk about overcoming challenges, it is not important just to overcome challenges but to achieve excellence, realising your highest potential and fulfilling your deepest purposes.

In his special oration lecture,Professor Philip J. Steer, Emeritus Professor of Obstetrics, Academic Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, Imperial College, London,suggested various ways with which maternal death rates can be curtailed. He said, “Using newer medication without checking the results of their clinical trials can be very dangerous. When we use new techniques in medicine, they should be properly evaluated”.

The event followed with the introduction of the IOG Journal by Dr. J. B. Sharma, Editor-in-Chief, IOG Journal & Additional Professor, Dept. of Obst&Gynae, AIIMS, New Delhi.

PITTMAN® Introduces BI-05 Series Slotless Brushless DC Motor – High Performance in a 0.5" Diameter Package

medica50 PITTMAN® Motors, a business unit of AMETEK Precision Motion Control, has introduced its latest offering in a broad range of DC brush and brushless motors. The BI-05 Series slotless brushless DC motor is designed for maximum precision and performance in a package size perfectly suited for precision equipment such as surgical and dental tools, medical instruments and other health care devices in which small component size is crucial. As medical procedures trend away from the use of pneumatic devices and move toward DC motor platforms, motor design and manufacturing requires an elevated level of technology to meet the demands of these applications. The BI-05 was developed with stringent design criteria as the focal point. Its slotless motor design eliminates the magnetic cogging typically found in conventionally wound “slotted” brushless DC motors. The stator teeth are completely eliminated by forming and encapsulating the entire stator winding along the inside surface of the back iron. The result is zero detent torque, low inductance and extremely fast response rates. The BI-05 motor body measures a compact 0.5-in (12.7mm) in diameter and is capable of no-load speeds of up to 60,000 RPM. The miniature motor is rated for a continuous output torque rating of up to 0.9 oz-in (0.0064Nm). The overall motor construction is a combination of 17-4, 300, and 400 series stainless steels, the 4-pole rotor is built using high-energy neodymium magnets, and an internal circuit board supports hall sensor feedback spaced at 120 electrical degrees. Other standard features include shielded ball bearings and a tight rotor balancing spec for smooth and quiet operation at high speeds. An autoclavable version of the BI-05 also is available.

New Tests for Determination of CNS-Markers for Neurodegenerative Diseases - MEDIAGNOST GmbH

medica50 Mediagnost, founded in 1985, is dedicated to research, development and manufacture of In-vitro-diagnostic test systems and raw materials. Mediagnost has established state-of- the-art labs, and is certified according EN ISO 9001:2000 and EN ISO 13485:2003. All test systems for clinical diagnostics are in compliance with the European Medical Device Directive 98/79/EC and are CE-labeled. The company operates in several medical and scientific fields. Main focus up to now was endocrinology and infectiology. Mediagnost offers special products for e.g. differential growth diagnostics (Growth Hormone and related Insulin-like Growth Factors and their Binding Proteins), for adipokine research (hormones like Adiponectin or Leptin), or, for determination of Hepatitis A Virus (Infection and the Virus itself). Recently, Mediagnost started to evaluate new diagnostic strategies for initial diagnosis and diagnostic work-up of central nervous system diseases. Certain diseases with different pathology are covered by this research and development activity. Current projects are dealing with Multiple Sclerosis (MS), or Parkinson Disease, or Alcohol Addiction. First success was already achieved by investigating the autoantibody status of MS patients against certain antigen targets . The same approach lead to promising results in case of Parkinson disease and Dementias . Aim of both tests is the pre-symptomatic detection of neurodegenerative diseases to allow early therapeutic intervention. Initial proof of concept studies have shown that Parkinson patients can be differentiated by their autoantibody profile from patients with non- Parkinson neurological diseases. In case of Alcoholism, the ratio for the commitment of Mediagnost is to provide physicians and researchers a tool for detection of harmful chronic alcohol consumption, and to differentiate it from accepted and tolerable, “normal”, consumption levels. The successful idea here was to measure not the activity, as usual, but the amount of the enzyme Monoamine oxidase B (MAO-B). This turns out MAO-B as a valuable potential new marker for alcoholism. First new test systems are already available: E100 Anti-Neuro Auto-Antibodies ELISA E101 MAO-B ELISA Contact: Dr. Markus Langkamp, Dr. Lutz Pridzun
