Mammography and its role in early detection of breast cancer

Imaging is essential for accurate diagnosis of breast disease and early detection of breast cancer. Mammography and Ultrasound are the first line investigations for the imaging of breasts. A mammogram is an x-ray picture of the breast. It is used to find breast tumors and cancer in women who either have no signs or symptoms of a disease or have a lump or other signs of breast cancer.

The Election season is back. This time around it is famous for the many infamous happening.The attack on Gaikhangam convoy (not fake encounter huh).The curious act of big-shot politicians doing the somersault. Never in the wild dreams do you expect Mister Phungzathang Tonsing to quit congress, let alone Nemcha Kipgen embracing BJP tenaciously. What they say is true; in politics, nothing is final until it is final. It is also equally true that politics is about winning elections. In this age, the idea enunciated by the great thinker Machiavelli is true: the Ends justify the means.

Will the new Naga CM ease the tensions in Manipur?

By handing over the rein of the government to Dr. Shürhozelie Liezietsü, as the new chief minister of Nagaland, replacing incumbent T.R. Zeliang, the ruling Democratic Alliance of Nagaland (DAN) has tried to kill two birds with one stone. The 81-year-old Liezietsu is very popular Naga leader not only in his own state Nagaland, but the hilly areas of neighbouring Manipur also, which is called “South Nagalim” by Naga people, where elections are being held on 4th and 8th of March. The BJP, which has four MLAs in the state, and is the part of new ruling Democratic Alliance of Nagaland (DAN), will also get benefits in Manipur elections, it is presumed, But whether the new CM of Nagaland Dr. Liezietsü, will also be playing any role in easing out the tension in Manipur, which is facing acute crisis due to the economic blockade imposed by UNC (United Naga Council) is being asked by observers.

Education – The way I see it

Teaching is an ever evolving process. Traditional system of education has become old school.

Dear Manipur, I wish you find your peace

Dear Manipur, I’ve just come back from spending some quality time with you and may I tell you, they were among the best days of my life. You might call it favouritism, but of the rest of my life’s best days, a significant number were spent with you. My early childhood, for example.

The flesh profiteth nothing

The Visible Flesh of Man : The human body is a dynamic combo of the body, the soul and the spirit. The body is a lump of flesh that reacts and responds to, and takes orders from the mind and the heart. One can feel pain touch, see, smell, give signs, and express happiness and sorrow through the bodily flesh. Within the human body is the invisible soul philosophers throughout the ages, including Aristotle, debated on, as to whether it is possessed only by human beings or also by other biological and non-biological entities as claimed under ‘animism.’ Socrates and Plato also opined that “the soul must have a logical faculty, the exercise of which was the most divine of human actions.”

Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates could be the world’s first trillionaire, according to recent research done by Oxfam International. When Gates left Microsoft in 2006, his net worth was $50 billion. His wealth has been growing by 11% per year since 2009 and by 2016 has risen to $75 billion.

Much ado about Babu-dom

Origin of Babu: In British India, Babu was a term used to address an Indian Clerk in the way the word ‘Mister’ was used. The honorific suffix to one’s name became popular in the 20th Century; more so in Bengal where the diversified equivalents, ‘Babushona,’ or ‘Babuji’ denoted deeper show of respect to a bureaucrat.

When god does not interfere

Deism is a tricky belief system. Basically, it’s a philosophical position which maintains that God doesn’t interfere, or even interact directly, with the world. Meaning, He may have made the universe and everything in it but, thereafter, has stuck to a strictly hands-off policy for reasons we can never know or fathom.

Social significance of Nanu festival

Introduction:
The Zeliangrong, one of the natives of North East belong to the Tibeto-Burman family of the Mongoloid racial stock. Tradition says, the ancestors of Zeliangrong originated from a cave known as Mahou Taobei; they moved to Makhel and to Ramting Kabin, and then to Makuilongdi, Senapati District of Manipur. From Makuilongdi, they migrated to different directions; the Rongmei to the South, Zeme to the West and Liangmai to the North. Another theory suggests that they came from two regions: Southwest China and Southeast Asia. As the Zeliangrong are Tibeto-Burman, “they must have lived with other groups of the same family in South West China about 1000 B.C and migrated to their present habitat” 1 through various routes in batches and at different periods. Today, the Zeliangrong people are found inhabiting in the three states of Assam, Manipur and Nagaland. The present article attempts to examine the Nanu-ngai and its social significance.

Can growing pressure on Myanmar bring change for Rohingya?

A United Nations report released earlier this month detailed widespread human rights violations against the Rohingya population by security forces in Myanmar’s northern Rakhine State, some of which its authors claim may amount to crimes against humanity. The question now is, will it lead to any meaningful improvement in the plight of this ethnic minority?

‘Losar’, the Tibetan New Year

Losar is the Tibetan New Year that is celebrated by the followers of Tibetan Buddhism. In India this is observed along the Himalayan belt like Ladak, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarkhand, Sikkim, Darjeeling, Arunachal Pradesh and the Tibetan settlements where the followers of Vajrayana, the Tibetan Buddhism, traditionally live or have settled down from Tibet. Vajrayana sect is also called the Tantric Buddhism or Lamaism as it is based on tantric practices and beliefs performed by the Blamas (religious gurus; ‘B’ is silent). Losar also symbolises harvest festival as the bumper winter yield would have been reaped around that time.

He was a boy from a bania family in Uttar Pradesh’s Bareilly district. She was a businessman’s daughter who grew up in Delhi. Both worked at a market research firm in Delhi. He collected data from the field, she analysed them. From colleagues, they became friends. He would even visit her home. But even when they realised that they were in love, the two decided to remain just friends because he was a Hindu and she a Muslim. “We knew our families would never agree to the relationship. Nothing like this had happened in either of our families,” said Rajeev. “My brother wanted to get married to a Hindu girl but my family had prevailed over him to change his decision,” Kashifa said.
