Following a positive opening on favorable global cues, markets traded in a range around previous close and ended flat. Snapping six day losing streak Sensex ended about 0.16% up. Nifty ended in red. Traders expect a rocky winter session of parliament as Mamta Banerjee has threatened a no confidence motion gainst the UPA govt. Additionally opposition parties might trouble the govt. on the issues of FDI in retail and rampaging corruption.
Markets spurted at open with Sensex above 20100 levels despite mixed global cues. Better than estimated quarterly earning reports this season from index heavyweights, including Reliance Industries Limited (RIL), boosted the sentiments. Markets gained pace in the afternoon session to touch day's high. Benchmarks continued to trade above the previous close and ended in green with over 0.3% gains. Boosted with robust Q3 numbers RIL topped the gainers on both the key benchmarks. The numbers from housing giant HDFC did not match the street expectation and dragged the Sensex down by 13.68 points. The overall market breadth was negative yet again on both the key bourses.
Following a flat opening, markets traded in positive territory for most part of the day before drifting in negative territory in late afternoon session on weak European cues. Intense selling pressure, specially on rate sensitive counters, caused Nifty to break its 2 months low while losing a percentage point at the close. Market players were found nervous ahead of the beginning of a new parliamentary session on Nov 22.
The Sensex lost 147 points due to fears about the U.S. fiscal cliff and ongoing concerns about Spain and Greece bailouts. Bharti Airtel shares rose as it won bids in the 2G spectrum auction. The market breadth closed negatively with more declining stocks than advancing. The BSE Sensex ended at 18471.37, down 147.50 points or 0.79% for the day.

The document summarizes the Joint Programming Initiative on Neurodegenerative Diseases (JPND). It discusses (1) the increasing societal and economic burden of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's, (2) JPND's goals of developing new treatments and improving care approaches, and (3) JPND's governance structure and initial research investments exceeding 100 million Euros from 2011-2014 across multiple countries.
This document discusses the Swedish longitudinal gambling study (Swelogs) and its potential to impact gambling policy. Some key findings from Swelogs include a problem gambling prevalence rate of 2.1% and incidence rate of 1.4%, and that three-quarters of problem gamblers were replaced by new ones within a year. Swelogs has tracked gambling behavior in Sweden over multiple waves since 2008. The results indicate problem gambling may be higher than typical estimates and relapse is a more serious issue than previously understood. The study aims to help policymakers better address gambling problems and harm in a changing industry.
The document outlines an agenda for the Geriatric Career Development Program for 2011-2012. It discusses the program overview including student demographics, goals, design, approach and outcomes. It also covers theories of multiple intelligences and Bloom's taxonomy that are applied in the program. Key points include that the program partners with local high schools and community organizations, and aims to provide certification and workforce training to help students enter careers in healthcare.
Psychiatric disorders in HIV Positive individuals in urban Uganda by Mugerwa ...Hidzuan Hashim
1) The study found a high prevalence of psychiatric disorders (82.6%) among HIV-positive individuals attending an AIDS support clinic in Uganda based on standardized psychiatric interviews. The most common disorders were major depression (54.3%) and panic disorder (32.6%).
2) AIDS counselors at the clinic estimated a much lower prevalence of mental illness among their patients. Many counselors believed they saw no patients with psychiatric problems.
3) The study examined counselors' training and comfort dealing with mental illness. It found counselors had low awareness of the high burden of psychiatric disorders among their HIV-positive patients.

This document discusses the economic impact of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in developing countries. It provides several key points:
1) NCDs negatively impact economic and human development by reducing life years, increasing poverty through high out-of-pocket healthcare costs, and decreasing productivity.
2) The social and economic costs of NCDs are high, including lost national income and productivity. For example, China is projected to lose over $550 billion in productivity from 2005-2015 due to NCDs.
3) Prevention and treatment of NCDs, especially at the primary care level, can be cost-effective and reduce the long-term burden on healthcare systems. Comprehen
Gambling participation and gambling-related harm in FinlandTHL
- The document summarizes key findings from a survey on gambling participation and harm in Finland in 2016. It found that 83% of respondents had gambled in the past year, with 34% gambling weekly. 12% were identified as at-risk or problem gamblers. The most common harms were financial and emotional. Concerned significant others, most often friends, reported harms caused by someone else's gambling. The clinical survey found higher rates of frequent, problematic gambling and related harms.

The document discusses findings from a survey on consumer spending and lifestyles among seniors in 13 European countries. Some key findings include:
- Seniors, defined as those aged 50-75, make up over 38% of the population in the surveyed countries and that share is expected to grow significantly in coming decades.
- While concerned about family, seniors demonstrate solidarity through financial support of descendants and ancestors.
- Seniors spend nearly two hours per day online but are less positive than younger people about the sharing economy. They prefer to see and touch products in stores before purchasing.
- Price is the top consideration for seniors when buying durable goods, followed by quality and functionality. They pay less attention to advertising than non

How early childhood experience determines our healthepicyclops
People in Glasgow are more likely than other UK citizens to die prematurely, even when socio-economic deprivation is taken into account. This excess mortality is largely due to problem substance use, suicide and violence: the 'Glasgow Effect'.
There are compelling reasons to believe that experiences in utero and early childhood largely explain the Glasgow Effect through programming of the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal axis, through learned patterns of attachment to caregivers and through other learned behaviours. Several early indicators of vulnerability can now be identified and doctors should pay attention to them in the same way as they pay attention to blood pressure readings.

Mapping of MARPs and strategic planning was conducted in Sri Lanka to estimate the size and distribution of key populations at high risk of HIV. The mapping identified over 1,900 female sex worker spots and 900 MSM spots across four districts. National estimates of 41,285 female sex workers and 32,796 MSM were then extrapolated. The data generated hotspot maps and will inform targeted HIV prevention by facilitating intervention planning, resource allocation, and monitoring and evaluation of coverage and impact.

This guideline is directed principally toward new Molecular Entities that are
likely to have significant use in the elderly, either because the disease intended
to be treated is characteristically a disease of aging ( e.g., Alzheimer's disease) or
because the population to be treated is known to include substantial numbers of
geriatric patients (e.g., hypertension).

It captures high-resolution images at regular intervals, allowing embryologists to select the most viable embryos for transfer based on detailed growth patterns. This technology enhances embryo selection, potentially increasing pregnancy success rates.
Are you looking for a long-lasting solution to your missing tooth?
Dental implants are the most common type of method for replacing the missing tooth. Unlike dentures or bridges, implants are surgically placed in the jawbone. In layman’s terms, a dental implant is similar to the natural root of the tooth. It offers a stable foundation for the artificial tooth giving it the look, feel, and function similar to the natural tooth.
5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT or Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that serves a range of roles in the human body. It is sometimes referred to as the happy chemical since it promotes overall well-being and happiness.
It is mostly found in the brain, intestines, and blood platelets.
5-HT is utilised to transport messages between nerve cells, is known to be involved in smooth muscle contraction, and adds to overall well-being and pleasure, among other benefits. 5-HT regulates the body's sleep-wake cycles and internal clock by acting as a precursor to melatonin.
It is hypothesised to regulate hunger, emotions, motor, cognitive, and autonomic processes.

18. Key findings gambling and
health
• The mental health is worse among people with gambling
problems compared to those without gambling problems
• Men with gambling problems have worse health, drink and
smoke more than men without gambling problems
• Women with gambling problems are more lonely than
women without gambling problems
• Internet gamblers have a somewhat better health but
smoke and drink more than those not gambling on the
Internet. Some of the differences can probably be
explained by the lower average age among the Internet
gamblers.
