Yeah! You guys read it correctly. Actually, this year's GPAT examination was a little bit unpredictable.  Overall the exam was not a walnut shell but on the very far end, it is also true that most of the students were unaware of this type of pattern.  Actually this year NTA conducted GPAT examination on the same facet of other competitive exams. NTA raised several questions directly from the surface but as the students were unaware of such thing, they used to prepare for the exam very similar to last years pattern. A very few students get able to reach that point in the exam that they could say it confidently that they would definitely able to overcome such an exam. Questions were asked from several untouched topics such as Physical chemistry and thermodynamics. Questions from Pharmacognosy were few. Pharmacology also contained some questions from general Anatomy and Physiology. P harmaceutical chemistry was pretty much decent. At the last but not the least I would like to say...

A draft report released by Health Canada, the government department looking after public health, on December 5, 2018, said it found that inhaling loose talc powders can damage the lungs. Using products containing talc in the female genital area, like baby powder, diaper creams and bath bombs is a possible cause of ovarian cancer, the report said. It added that the assessment did not find that ingesting talc in food or drugs or using it in pressed powder cosmetics like eyeshadows and blushes was harmful. The department has asked for comments over the draft findings. In fact, in July 2018, cosmetics manufacturer Johnson & Johnson paid 22 women in the US nearly $4.7 billion in a lawsuit linking baby powder to ovarian cancer. Africa will be sett...

By: M. Mirza Riyaz Beig The scientists, who have studied the impact of electromagnetic waves on human eye, say that cell phone usage can also lead to early cataract in lens apart from affecting retina, cornea and other ocular systems of the eye. While scientists across the globe are still debating whether cell phone radiation exposure results in brain tumors, a new study carried out by scientists at Charotar University of Science and Technology (CHARUSAT) has revealed that cell phones also affect eyes. “The wavelength of wireless signals (which is about 2 to 2.5 cm) used for cell phones and other wireless terminals matches with that received by the human eye. The dielectric constant (absorption capacity) of eye tissues is around 70 which is greater than unity (above 50). This means that the eye can absorb electromagnetic energy very quickly,” explains Dwivedi. These scientists have also recommended that a mobile handset should be kept as far as possible from the eye. “It should not be ...
