Female foeticide refers to the illegal abortion of female fetuses in India solely due to their sex. It is driven by social preferences for male children and beliefs that girls are a financial burden. The government has passed laws banning sex determination and female foeticide, but it remains a problem. If left unchecked, female foeticide could have significant impacts on future population sex ratios and society. Measures to address it include education, empowering women's rights, and abolishing practices like dowries that contribute to the problem.

SYSTEMIC EFFECTS OF ACUTE & CHRONIC INFLAMMATION.pptxPrakash554699
Inflammation is the body's response to injury or infection that is characterized by redness, swelling, heat, and pain. The inflammatory process involves increased blood flow, capillary permeability, and migration of leukocytes to the site of injury. This results in local swelling, redness, heat, and pain. The outcome of inflammation depends on the severity, and can result in resolution, repair with scarring, or areas of tissue destruction. Chemical mediators intensify the inflammatory process and generate more mediators, while different types of exudates are produced depending on their protein and cellular contents.
