Artificial limb price

A young man, who has spent about 20 years of his life walking with difficulty due to a 2.5 cm variation between his right and left legs, is relieved now. Doctors at Apollo Hospital, Visakhapatnam, have corrected the deformity through a limb lengthening surgery. His parents, who hail from Himachal Pradesh, had settled at Rayagada in Odisha. The boy had a defect in his right leg, since birth. His parents ignored the problem, perhaps, due to fear that surgery could make even the other leg worse. The boy went through school and college and is now a techie in Pune. “The bone is fractured in controlled conditions and is elongated and allowed to heal. The bone can be elongated up to 6 cm without any complications. In this case, we needed only 2.5 cm, but the problem was the single artery going to the limb” Dr. Ravi Chandra, Paediatric orthopaedic surgeon “We performed the surgery in December 2021, and in 25 days the desired leg lengthening was achieved. The bone had healed itself in … [Read more...] about Delicate limb lengthening surgery performed in Visakhapatnam hospital

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on May 8 stepped up his attack on the government over the hike in the price of domestic LPG cylinder , and said only his party governs for the welfare of poor and middle class families. Cooking gas LPG prices were on Saturday hiked by ₹50 per cylinder, the second increase in rates in just over six weeks following the firming of international energy rates. Non-subsidised LPG now costs ₹999.50 per 14.2-kg cylinder in the national capital, up from ₹949.50 previously, according to a price notification of state-owned fuel retailers. In a tweet, Mr. Gandhi compared the price of a domestic LPG cylinder of about ₹410 with a subsidy of ₹827 in 2014 under a Congress-led government to that of over ₹999 with "zero subsidy" in 2022 under the BJP-led Centre.

The average price of gas in blue California is now over $6.00 per gallon in President Biden’s America, as gas prices continue to reach record highs this week. The national average price of regular gas reached another record high Wednesday, reaching $4.567 — a 5-cent rise in the last 24 hours alone. Overall, the average price of gas nationally has risen 16 cents in the last week and 48 cents over the last month. Diesel also hit another record high Wednesday, as it now stands at $5.577. Perhaps most significant is the fact that the average price of gas is over $4.00 in every state. States on the West Coast are seeing some of the highest prices in the entire nation. The average prices of gas in Washington, Oregon, Nevada, and Alaska are all over $5.00, but California is experiencing some of the highest prices in the nation, as its average price for regular gas stands at $6.050. Several California counties are seeing prices well over the state’s average, including … [Read more...] about Gas Price Average Now over $6 in Blue California

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) spoke about the record-high gas prices the country is experiencing, forcefully criticizing the Biden administration for reducing American energy independence and going to dictators for assistance. “I’m looking around and this gas is going up even more,” the governor said, explaining that he is seeing prices close to $5.00 per gallon in some parts of the state as the national gas price average reached another record high for the ninth consecutive day on Wednesday. “It was probably about $4.15 just a couple of weeks ago,” he said. “So it’s going up and you know, they’re not doing energy in the United States now, they say they want to get money oil from [President Nicolas] Maduro in Venezuela, which all that’s gonna do is just line his pockets and actually, it’ll help Russia,” DeSantis said, noting the fundamental absurdity of the move, as it contrasts their constant warnings about Russia and Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The Agriculture department proposes to introduce base prices for five more vegetables and fruits as a safeguard for farmers. Department sources said brinjal, elephant-foot yam, bottle gourd, watermelon, and pumpkin had been recommended for inclusion in the list that contained 16 fruits, tubers and vegetables. The recommendation is currently before the government. First introduced by the State government in 2020, the base prices are designed as a safeguard for farmers in the event of unfavourable price fluctuations in the market. As per a Cabinet decision in October 2020, base prices were announced for tapioca, Nendran banana/Wayanadan Nendran, pineapple, ash gourd, cucumber, bitter gourd, snake gourd, string beans, tomato, ladies' finger, cabbage, carrot, potato, beans, beet root and garlic. Base prices for these items were determined by factoring in the production cost plus 20% on the basis of a study carried out by the State Agricultural Prices Board. To prevent … [Read more...] about Base prices planned for five more vegetables, fruits

Alphabet Inc’s Google on Wednesday laid out plans to bridge the real world and its digital universe of search, Maps and other services using new advances in artificial intelligence. At its annual Google I/O developer conference, the company previewed a feature that would let users take video of shelves of wine bottles at a store and ask its system to automatically identify options from Black-owned wineries. “This is like having a supercharged Ctrl+F for the world around you,” said Prabhakar Raghavan, a Google senior vice president, referring to the keyboard shortcut for finding something in a document. “You can search your whole world, asking questions any way and anywhere.” In the future, you'll be able to pan your camera, ask a question and see relevant information overlaid in the context of the world around you. It's like a supercharged CTRL+F for the real world. #GoogleIO pic.twitter.com/EeSse3Dmtf — Google (@Google) May 11, 2022 Later this year, Maps will launch an … [Read more...] about Google Unveils Artificial Intelligence Tool for Real-World Searches

A new poll released by the Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies (IGS) found that 51 percent of Bay Area residents have considered moving out of the region over skyrocketing housing prices. “These are very dramatic findings,” Mark DiCamillo, director of the Berkeley IGS Poll said, told SiliconValley.com. “In every region of California, the rising cost of housing has crept into the consciousness of voters.” That same poll found that 56 percent of Golden State residents have considered relocating overall, and 59 percent of Los Angeles County residents have also considered exiting the region for states where their green goes further. Several couples told Silicon Valley that they see Texas and Virginia as attractive alternatives. One couple reportedly said their mortgage in Texas is $500 a month for a house they would own, compared with $1,500 a month to rent a home in San Jose that they would be sharing with others. Another reportedly said they are paying under $1,500 a … [Read more...] about Over Half of Bay Area Residents Consider Leaving over Housing Prices

This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate 3 OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Some of the details of rate conversations between the nation's four largest railroads will now be included in lawsuits challenging billions of dollars of charges the railroads charged, but this week's mixed ruling from a federal appeals court will also exclude some documents. The ruling from the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals will likely set up more arguments over evidence as Union Pacific, BNSF, Norfolk Southern and CSX railroads defend themselves against dozens of lawsuits accusing them of conspiring to inflate their rates with coordinated fuel surcharges between 2003 and 2007. The key to determining what evidence is admissible will be whether the conversations relate to shipments that cross multiple railroads or not. The court said it “defies logic” to exclude discussions about traffic that stays on a single railroad or conversations about all shipments, but … [Read more...] about Court: Some rail rate talks allowed in price-fixing suits

San Francisco is experiencing a culinary drain of sorts due to the high cost of living in the city, which is forcing many of its most talented chefs and cooks to leave in search of more affordable cities such as Oakland in the East Bay, and beyond. With cooks earning an average salary of $29,000 annually, it is impossible for them to afford the median monthly rent of $3,000–even with roommates–without at least taking on a second job in order to supplement their income, according to local CBS Bay Area. SF Cooking School founder Jodi Liano says her students have even taken to moonlighting as food writers just to make ends meet. At San Francisco’s trendy RN74 restaurant, Chef Adam Sobel says they are having trouble hiring cooks that will stay long term. “You go through the process of hiring that person and investing training and all that and they leave because they aren’t able to live or afford the lifestyle. It makes it challenging,” Sobel said to CBS. RN74 has created … [Read more...] about San Francisco’s High Prices are Draining the City of its Culinary Talents

Luxury automobile makers like Lamborghini, Mercedes Benz, and BMW, are all seeing strong demand for their models in the premium end, despite the COVID-related disruptions, largely due to a shift in customer profile to younger, first-generation entrepreneurs, who believe in the ‘you only live once’ philosophy. Varun Kalyanasundaram, a 33-year-old director at Chennai-based Polimer Media, bought his first luxury car nearly 10 years ago “because of the sheer driving pleasure, technology and most importantly comfort.” Mr. Kalyanasundaram currently owns a BMW X7, Mercedes Benz S class, Mercedes Benz GLS, an Audi E-tron, and is now eyeing the Mercedes Benz Maybach GLS. “I drive by myself. I don’t have a chauffeur. I like long drives and the pleasure of driving is most important. The technology should be included, but I need comfort. That is it.,” he says. Sharad Agarwal, Head, Lamborghini India, says there has been a shift in the customer profile over the years. “We are seeing younger, … [Read more...] about Younger clientele driving luxury car sales in India
