Abstract:

The waste generated in various hospitals and healthcare facilities, including the waste of industries, can be grouped under biomedical waste (BMW). The constituents of this type of waste are various infectious and hazardous materials. This waste is then identified, segregated, and treated scientifically. There is an inevitable need for healthcare professionals to have adequate knowledge and a proper attitude towards BMW and its management. BMW generated can either be solid or liquid waste comprising infectious or potentially infectious materials, such as medical, research, or laboratory waste.

The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a significant rise in the production of biomedical waste in India’s healthcare waste management system. Authorities in Delhi are finding it increasingly difficult to maintain and treat large volumes of biomedical waste as the volume of biomedical waste continues to rise. In addition to the COVID- 19-related biomedical waste to segregate and dispose of, a huge strain has been imposed on the healthcare management system. This research examines the current state of biomedical waste management in Delhi, India as well as the past and present state of biomedical

Abstract:

Biomedical waste management is an essential aspect of human and environmental safety. The healthcare industries and the unfortunate pandemic have increased the generation of biomedical waste. If biomedical waste is not managed safely, it poses human health and ecological risks. Hence, the study aims to appraise the scenario of biomedical waste management in India and to identify its effect on human health and the environment. The study used a systematic approach to review all the rules and regulations related to biomedical waste management issued by the Government of India from time to time. F

An appropriate management of anaemia laboratory tests is crucial for a correct diagnosis and treatment. A non-sequential “shotgun” approach (where every anaemia related test is ordered) causes workload and cost increases and could be potentially harmful. We have implemented a Decision Support System through our laboratory information system (LIMS) based on reflexive algorithms and automatic generation of interpretative reports specifically in diagnosis of anaemia for primary care patients. When a request contained an “Anaemia Suspicion Study” profile, more than twenty automatic reflexive rules

We demonstrate here the clinical course and multi-modal management of the case of an adrenocortical adenoma which had neuroendocrine differentiation accounting for the excess of both catecholamine and cortisol hormones in a patient with multiple neoplasms.
