EMBEDDING PERFORMANCE TESTING IN AGILE SOFTWARE MODELijseajournal
In the last couple of decades, the software development process has evolved drastically, starting from Big
Bang to Waterfall to Agile. The primary driver for the evolution of the software was the “Speed of
Delivery” of the Software Product which has significantly accelerated from months to less than weeks and
days. For IT (Information Technology) Organizations to be successful, they inevitably need a strong
technology presence to roll out new software and features as quickly as possible to their customer base.
The current user generation tends to use technology to maximum potential and is always striving to keep
up with the new trends. The main subject is for the organizations to be ready with their Speed of Delivery
strategy adapting to all technology modernization initiatives like CICD (Continuous Integration and
Continuous Deployment), Agile, DevOps, and Cloud so that there are negligible customer friction and no
risks to their Market shares,. The aim of this paper is to compare the performance testing in every stage of
the agile model to the traditional end testing. The results of the corresponding testing phases are presented
in this paper.

As radiology departments transform themselves in this era of healthcare reform, they
are seeking IT solutions and process efficiencies that support a culture of accountability.
Digital “dashboards” can enable this accountability by providing real-time operational
performance measurements spanning the workflow continuum of radiology.
Today, GE Healthcare is uniquely positioned to apply its deep industry expertise to
deliver a business intelligence solution that provides unparalleled real-time visibility
to the entire radiology department.
It’s part of our belief in the power of healthcare IT to make a meaningful difference in

Integrated Technology Solutions for Drug SafetyCovance
Technology has forever transformed the entire healthcare continuum and has ushered in new and revolutionary ways to ensure patient and consumer safety. It has also enabled organizations to achieve higher levels of insight, quality and efficiencies by driving down operational costs and rendering information in meaningful ways. Technology has weaved itself into safety operations by being a strategic element of worldwide pharmacovigilance (PV) systems, fundamentally altering the drug safety continuum. To enable transformation, one of the biggest challenges organizations face is how to effectively integrate the complexities of two seemingly separate functions, the technology know-how behind IT and the science behind Safety Operations. Companies that recognize the synergies of an integrated strategy and unified communication process will see greater success in managing the safety of their products, including proactive responses to problems and business priorities.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!
Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
