Great fear and anxiety of mind, with great nervous excitability; afraid to go out, to go into a crowd where there is any excitement or many people; to cross the street. The countenance is expressive of fear; the life is rendered miserable by fear; is sure his disease will prove fatal; predicts the day he will die; fear of death during pregnancy. Restless, anxious, does everything in great haste; must change position often; everything startles him. Pains; are intolerable, they drive him crazy; he becomes very restless; at night. Hahnemann says: "Whenever Aconite is chosen homeopathically, you must, above all, observe the moral symptoms, and be careful that it closely resembles them; the anguish of mind and body; the restlessness; the disquiet not to be allayed.". This mental anxiety, worry, fear accompanies the most trivial ailment. Music is unbearable, makes her sad (Sab., during menses, Nat. c.). On rising from a recumbent position the red face becomes deathly pale, or he becomes faint or giddy and falls, and fears to rise again; often accompanied by vanishing of sight and unconsciousness.

Unless indicated by the exciting cause, is nearly always injurious in first stages of typhoid fever.
Aggravation. Evening and night, pains are insupportable; in a warm room; when rising from bed; lying on affected side (Hep., Nux m.).
Amelioration. In the open air (Alum., Mag. c., Puls., Sab.).

9. Preventive care minimizes hospitalization. Continuity in health care is ensured in case there is a need for hospitalization as EMR is made available to the hospital doctors
|
Q5. Does the service guarantee that the EMR of the beneficiary is an accurate reflection of his
health status?
|
A- It can be made reasonably accurate if there is active, continuous and complete participation
from the beneficiary regarding his medical history and current symptoms. Medical history must
be completed in all respects during the registration process by the beneficiary. This along with
the information provided by the beneficiary to his AyushCare physician on a continuous basis
is the foundation of an accurate record of his health status. The diagnostic tests carried out
under the program are essential and vital tests. Further tests will be only recommended (extra
costs) based on the Tests conducted and symptomatic inputs provided by the beneficiary.
|
Q6. Does the package handle acute conditions?
|
A- No, the package tracks health status and offers advice on preventive steps which will
minimize occurrence of acute conditions that may necessitate hospitalization. However,
continuous health tracking and availability of Medical record enables more efficient hospital
care.
|
Q7. What if the beneficiary is in need of continuous care from specialists?
|
A- Routine problems will be handled by the Family doctor under the existing AyushCare
program. In case the specialist panel feels the need for intensive care, they will offer such
an advice. In any case, any activity not covered by this program will have to be undertaken
by the beneficiary at extra cost. AyushCare program will continue concurrently and the
AyushCare visiting physician will continue to track health status/progress.
|
Q8. If the beneficiary is a chronic patient, will AyushCare package manage his requirements?
|
A- If the problems that beneficiary has can be managed with once a month visit
of the physician (not a specialist) then he may not need to seek help outside of
AyushCare. AyushCare package may not cover all his requirements if he has some
serious problems that necessitates frequent visit to his doctor.He can certainly use
INDIAONLINEHEALTH platform to manage his requirements at discounted rates. Also it
will ensure continuity in his healthcare

BasicObject
Fixtures are a way of organizing data that you want to test against; in short, sample data.
Fixtures come in 1 flavor:
1. YAML fixtures
This type of fixture is in YAML format and the preferred default. YAML is a file format which describes data structures in a non-verbose, human-readable format. It ships with Ruby 1.8.1+.
Unlike single-file fixtures, YAML fixtures are stored in a single file per model, which are placed in the directory appointed by ActiveSupport::TestCase.fixture_path=(path) (this is automatically configured for Rails, so you can just put your files in <your-rails-app>/test/fixtures/). The fixture file ends with the .yml file extension (Rails example: <your-rails-app>/test/fixtures/web_sites.yml). The format of a YAML fixture file looks like this:
rubyonrails: id: 1 name: Ruby on Rails url: http://www.rubyonrails.org google: id: 2 name: Google url: http://www.google.com
This YAML fixture file includes two fixtures. Each YAML fixture (ie. record) is given a name and is followed by an indented list of key/value pairs in the “key: value” format. Records are separated by a blank line for your viewing pleasure.
Note that YAML fixtures are unordered. If you want ordered fixtures, use the omap YAML type. See yaml.org/type/omap.html for the specification. You will need ordered fixtures when you have foreign key constraints on keys in the same table. This is commonly needed for tree structures.  There are two ways to use the fixtures, but first let’s take a look at a sample unit test:
require 'test_helper' class WebSiteTest < ActiveSupport::TestCase test "web_site_count" do assert_equal 2, WebSite.count end end
By default, the test_helper module will load all of your fixtures into your test database, so this test will succeed. The testing environment will automatically load the all fixtures into the database before each test. To ensure consistent data, the environment deletes the fixtures before running the load.
In addition to being available in the database, the fixture’s data may also be accessed by using a special dynamic method, which has the same name as the model, and accepts the name of the fixture to instantiate:
test "find" do assert_equal "Ruby on Rails", web_sites(:rubyonrails).name end
Alternatively, you may enable auto-instantiation of the fixture data. For instance, take the following tests:
test "find_alt_method_1" do assert_equal "Ruby on Rails", @web_sites['rubyonrails']['name'] end test "find_alt_method_2" do assert_equal "Ruby on Rails", @rubyonrails.news end
In order to use these methods to access fixtured data within your testcases, you must specify one of the following in your ActiveSupport::TestCase-derived class:
to fully enable instantiated fixtures (enable alternate methods #1 and #2 above)
self.use_instantiated_fixtures = true
create only the hash for the fixtures, do not ‘find’ each instance (enable alternate method #1 only)
self.use_instantiated_fixtures = :no_instances
Using either of these alternate methods incurs a performance hit, as the fixtured data must be fully traversed in the database to create the fixture hash and/or instance variables. This is expensive for large sets of fixtured data.
Some times you don’t care about the content of the fixtures as much as you care about the volume. In these cases, you can mix ERB in with your YAML fixtures to create a bunch of fixtures for load testing, like:
<% for i in 1..1000 %> fix_<%= i %>: id: <%= i %> name: guy_<%= 1 %> <% end %>
This will create 1000 very simple YAML fixtures.
Using ERB, you can also inject dynamic values into your fixtures with inserts like <%= Date.today.strftime("%Y-%m-%d") %>. This is however a feature to be used with some caution. The point of fixtures are that they’re stable units of predictable sample data. If you feel that you need to inject dynamic values, then perhaps you should reexamine whether your application is properly testable. Hence, dynamic values in fixtures are to be considered a code smell.
TestCases can use begin+rollback to isolate their changes to the database instead of having to delete+insert for every test case.
class FooTest < ActiveSupport::TestCase self.use_transactional_fixtures = true test "godzilla" do assert !Foo.find(:all).empty? Foo.destroy_all assert Foo.find(:all).empty? end test "godzilla aftermath" do assert !Foo.find(:all).empty? end end
If you preload your test database with all fixture data (probably in the Rakefile task) and use transactional fixtures, then you may omit all fixtures declarations in your test cases since all the data’s already there and every case rolls back its changes.
In order to use instantiated fixtures with preloaded data, set self.pre_loaded_fixtures to true. This will provide access to fixture data for every table that has been loaded through fixtures (depending on the value of use_instantiated_fixtures)
When not to use transactional fixtures:
You’re testing whether a transaction works correctly. Nested transactions don’t commit until all parent transactions commit, particularly, the fixtures transaction which is begun in setup and rolled back in teardown. Thus, you won’t be able to verify the results of your transaction until Active Record supports nested transactions or savepoints (in progress).
Your database does not support transactions. Every Active Record database supports transactions except MySQL MyISAM. Use InnoDB, MaxDB, or NDB instead.
YAML fixtures that don’t specify an ID get some extra features:
Stable, autogenerated IDs
Label references for associations (belongs_to, has_one, has_many)
HABTM associations as inline lists
Autofilled timestamp columns
Fixture label interpolation
Support for YAML defaults
Here, have a monkey fixture:
george: id: 1 name: George the Monkey reginald: id: 2 name: Reginald the Pirate
Each of these fixtures has two unique identifiers: one for the database and one for the humans. Why don’t we generate the primary key instead? Hashing each fixture’s label yields a consistent ID:
george: # generated id: 503576764 name: George the Monkey reginald: # generated id: 324201669 name: Reginald the Pirate
Active Record looks at the fixture’s model class, discovers the correct primary key, and generates it right before inserting the fixture into the database.
The generated ID for a given label is constant, so we can discover any fixture’s ID without loading anything, as long as we know the label.
Specifying foreign keys in fixtures can be very fragile, not to mention difficult to read. Since Active Record can figure out the ID of any fixture from its label, you can specify FK’s by label instead of ID.
Let’s break out some more monkeys and pirates.
### in pirates.yml reginald: id: 1 name: Reginald the Pirate monkey_id: 1 ### in monkeys.yml george: id: 1 name: George the Monkey pirate_id: 1
Add a few more monkeys and pirates and break this into multiple files, and it gets pretty hard to keep track of what’s going on. Let’s use labels instead of IDs:
### in pirates.yml reginald: name: Reginald the Pirate monkey: george ### in monkeys.yml george: name: George the Monkey pirate: reginald
Pow! All is made clear. Active Record reflects on the fixture’s model class, finds all the belongs_to associations, and allows you to specify a target label for the association (monkey: george) rather than a target id for the FK (monkey_id: 1).
Supporting polymorphic relationships is a little bit more complicated, since Active Record needs to know what type your association is pointing at. Something like this should look familiar:
### in fruit.rb belongs_to :eater, :polymorphic => true ### in fruits.yml apple: id: 1 name: apple eater_id: 1 eater_type: Monkey
Can we do better? You bet!
apple: eater: george (Monkey)
Just provide the polymorphic target type and Active Record will take care of the rest.
Time to give our monkey some fruit.
### in monkeys.yml george: id: 1 name: George the Monkey ### in fruits.yml apple: id: 1 name: apple orange: id: 2 name: orange grape: id: 3 name: grape ### in fruits_monkeys.yml apple_george: fruit_id: 1 monkey_id: 1 orange_george: fruit_id: 2 monkey_id: 1 grape_george: fruit_id: 3 monkey_id: 1
Let’s make the HABTM fixture go away.
### in monkeys.yml george: id: 1 name: George the Monkey fruits: apple, orange, grape ### in fruits.yml apple: name: apple orange: name: orange grape: name: grape
Zap! No more fruits_monkeys.yml file. We’ve specified the list of fruits on George’s fixture, but we could’ve just as easily specified a list of monkeys on each fruit. As with belongs_to, Active Record reflects on the fixture’s model class and discovers the has_and_belongs_to_many associations.
If your table/model specifies any of Active Record’s standard timestamp columns (created_at, created_on, updated_at, updated_on), they will automatically be set to Time.now.
If you’ve set specific values, they’ll be left alone.
The label of the current fixture is always available as a column value:
geeksomnia: name: Geeksomnia's Account subdomain: $LABEL
Also, sometimes (like when porting older join table fixtures) you’ll need to be able to get a hold of the identifier for a given label. ERB to the rescue:
george_reginald: monkey_id: <%= ActiveRecord::Fixtures.identify(:reginald) %> pirate_id: <%= ActiveRecord::Fixtures.identify(:george) %>
You probably already know how to use YAML to set and reuse defaults in your database.yml file. You can use the same technique in your fixtures:
DEFAULTS: &DEFAULTS created_on: <%= 3.weeks.ago.to_s(:db) %> first: name: Smurf <<: *DEFAULTS second: name: Fraggle <<: *DEFAULTS
Any fixture labeled “DEFAULTS” is safely ignored.

This lists all known errors in The C Programming Language, Second
Edition, by Brian Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie (Prentice-Hall, 1988).
The first printing of the book was made before the Standard was finalized; these copies say "Based on Draft-Proposed ANSI C" on the front cover. All subsequent printings are identified by a large red ``ANSI C'' on the right center of the cover. Fortunately, the changes are minor; some repair our bugs, a few account for last-minute changes in the draft standard. These changes were made so early that they probably do not apply to you.
Two or three sentences in the Preface and Introduction are updated to describe the state of the Standard.
atof is in stdlib.h, not math.h; this changes pages 71, 76, 82, 121.
On page 86, error corrected: missing automatic initializers are zero too.
On page 168: changed 1 to 1.0 to avoid potential overflow.
Minor typos are corrected on pages 87, 89, 164, 165, 168, 180.
The inconspicuous references to noalias on pages 192 and 211 are removed.
The following paragraph is added to the end of section A6.6 (page 199):
``A pointer may be converted to another pointer whose type is the same except for the addition or removal of qualifiers (A4.4, A8.2) of the object type to which the pointer refers. If qualifiers are added, the new pointer is equivalent to the old except for restrictions implied by the new qualifiers. If qualifiers are removed, operations on the underlying object remain subject to the qualifiers in its actual declaration.''
On page 199, beginning of section A6.8, ``Any pointer may be converted to type void *...'' is changed to ``Any pointer to an object may be converted to type void *...''.
On page 204, A7.4.4, ``The operand of the unary + operator must have arithmetic or pointer type...'' should read ``must have arithmetic type...''.
On page 206, A7.9, about relational operators: ``Pointers to objects of the same type may be compared...'' is changed to ``Pointers to object of the same type (ignoring any qualifiers) may be compared...''.
The indented material on page 209, ``According to the restrictions... relaxing it.'' is removed. [This is related to the paragraph added above. The wording of the penultimate draft made it useless to take an (int *) pointer, cast it to (const int *), then cast it back to (int *).]
On page 219 middle, initialization of structures, add ``Unnamed bit-field members are ignored, and are not initialized.''
Appendix B changes:
p 242: Add ``fflush(NULL) flushes all output streams.'' to fflush description.
p 243: Change to ``it must be called before reading, writing or any other operation'' in setvbuf description.
p 249: Add ``Comparison functions treat arguments as unsigned char arrays.'' to string.h description.
p 255: Change range of tm_sec to (0,61) for leap seconds.
p 255: Change CLK_TCK to CLOCKS_PER_SEC.
p 257: Drop U and L suffixes from limits.h constants. tm_sec range is (0,61) here too.
Appendix C change:
p 261: Change ``External declarations without any specifiers...'' to ``External data declarations without any specifiers...''.
The index has been reprinted to fix a couple of typos and account for motion within Appendix A; one page of the table of contents is changed.
A later printing in October, 1989, made minor changes on page 131 to add
& to the last example, on page 208 to change ``equal'' to ``unequal'' in the
description of logical OR, and on page 254 to clarify that only volatile
automatics are saved with longjmp.
The following errors have not yet been fixed in any printing.
41: The loop at the bottom of the page is functionally equivalent to the one on page 29, but not identical in form, as is implied by the text.
44: 1U is an unsigned int, not an int.
49: In the discussion of shift operators, `which must be positive' should be `which must be non-negative'.
53: Note under the table should say & as well as + - * has higher precedence as a unary operator.
102: NULL is standardly defined in <stddef.h>, although it is likely to appear in <stdio.h> as well.
111: Indent is too large, and a bit of program text is cut off.
114: quote missing in "Jan, near top of page.
119-121: The qsort discussion needs recasting in several ways. First, qsort is a standard routine in ANSI/ISO C, so the rendition here should be given a different name, especially because the arguments to standard qsort are a bit different: the standard accepts a base pointer and a count, while this example uses a base pointer and two offsets.
Also, the comparison-routine argument is not treated well. The call shown on p 119, with an argument
(int (*)(void*,void*))(numeric? numcmp : strcmp)is not only complicated, but only barely passes muster. Both numcmp and strcmp take char * arguments, but this expression casts pointers to these functions to a function pointer that takes void * arguments. The standard does say that void * and char * have the same representation, so the example will almost certainly work in practice, and is at least defensible under the standard. There are too many lessons in these pages.
142: The remark about casting the return value of malloc ("the proper method is to declare ... then explicitly coerce") needs to be rewritten. The example is correct and works, but the advice is debatable in the context of the 1988-1989 ANSI/ISO standards. It's not necessary (given that coercion of void * to ALMOSTANYTYPE * is automatic), and possibly harmful if malloc, or a proxy for it, fails to be declared as returning void *. The explicit cast can cover up an unintended error. On the other hand, pre-ANSI, the cast was necessary, and it is in C++ also.
143: strdup is not indexed.
164, 165: (text and code) fputs returns EOF on error, non-negative for OK.
167: [the return value of malloc or calloc] "must be cast into the appropriate type" is incorrect as stated. See the remarks just above for p. 142.
193: If an integer constant is suffixed with UL, it is unsigned long.
195: To the list at the start of section A4, "Identifiers, or names, refer to a variety of things...", add labels as well.
200 (Section A7.1): The actual list of operators that prevent the conversion of arrays into pointers is just & and sizeof, not the various assignment operators. In practice this is not important, because arrays (converted or not) cannot be assigned to for other reasons.
229, 239: Syntax: the argument list is optional in macro definitions with parentheses.
231: Extra right parenthesis in nested call to cat macro.
232: The result of the defined operator is not replaced literally by 0L or 1L, nor are undefined names literally by 0L, but just by plain 0 or 1. However, the constant expression is nevertheless evaluated as if these and other constants appearing have long or unsigned long type.
244: In table B-1, the argument corresponding to x, X is unsigned int.
245: The scanf functions do not ignore white space in formats.
245: vprintf, vfprintf, vsprintf return int.
246: First argument of sscanf should have type const char *.
249: In the description of strncpy, t should be ct.
210: In section 8.1, it is said that a register object cannot have the & operator applied `explicitly or implicitly,' which is true, but needs an amplifying clause to show that the implicit & comes from mention of an array name, so declaring an array as a register is fruitless.
There is no mention of the offsetof macro.
Index: stddef.h is listed but not described in the text. char, double, long, short are on page 9, not page 10. sizeof is on 242, not 247. ``byte'' is not indexed.

Grandma Connie and Grandpa Morris came to visit for Shane's third birthday. Shane got lots of choo choos, including the battery powered "James" he so desperately wanted. Mom baked chocolate banana cupcakes and brought them to school on Shane's birthday. Bekah and Maya came to school too.
Shane went to North Carolina to attend Uncle Jere's medical school graduation. He got to see lots of grandmas and grandpas, and eat at fancy restaurants, and meet his Cousin Benny.
Shane had his last day of school. He is disappointed that he won't get to see Franny any more. A few weeks before the end of the year they took a nice class photo. Shane actually sat still and smiled for his school portrait.
Shane went to the Pittsburgh Zoo with Mom and Dad and Maya. He said he liked the fishies the best (the Pittsburgh Zoo has an aquarium). He also had a good time climbing the "spider web." Shane is starting to really like playing with Maya. Of course, he thinks he should have all the toys.
Shane likes to play outside with Davis and Cole. He also likes to play with Maya. "Let's make a sandwhich," says Shane. "I want to be the peanut butter and Maya can be the jelly." Yvonne came to visit Maya and Shane.
Shane's house is getting a new heating and air conditioning system. Shane likes to inspect the work done each day after "the mans" leave.
Shane went to Maryland to visit lots of relatives. He met baby cousin Eric and had a great time playing with Cousin Justin. He didn't like seeing cicadas ("kaydas") everywhere, however.
Shane's friend Mira came for a visit on her way to Ann Arbor. They had a great time.
Shane went to visit Grandma Connie and Papa Morris. He stayed at their house for a few days while Mom and Dad and Maya went to New Jersey. For some unknown reason he said "crocodile" over and over again very loudly in the car on the way there.
Shane has lots of battery powered trains now. Percy is the latest addition to his collection.
The Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix was a big event in the park down the street from our house. Shane had a great time looking at all the vintage and not-so-vintage cars. Mom and Dad finally got around to putting the climber together in the backyard. Shane and Maya had lots of fun climbing on it. So did Davis and Cole. They invited Shane over for yogurt pops.
Shane had a good time playing in the Chicken Soup with Rice at the Pittsburgh Children's Museum. He also liked the bird cage once he figured out how to get down (good thing Davis was there to show him how).

Redskins unsure about quarterback situation amid 1-7 start
by STEPHEN WHYNOWASHINGTON (AP) - Washington Redskins interim coach Bill Callahan said the expectation for rookie quarterback Dwayne Haskins in his first start was to win.
He did not. The Redskins fell to 1-7 with a 24-9 loss at the Buffalo Bills, matching their worst start since 1998.
Haskins was an acceptable 15 of 22 for 144 yards, avoided the interception trouble that plagued him in two relief appearances but didn’t complete a pass longer than 22. There’s no guarantee the 15th overall pick will be Washington’s permanent starter when the New York Jets visit Nov. 17 following the bye week.
“Nothing has been decided or determined,” Callahan said. “I’m just going to give it a little time and go into the bye week, let everything settle, look at the health of (concussed veteran Case Keenum) and see where we’re at as a team and make a decision going forward for the best of our team.”
WHAT’S WORKING
Callahan’s run first, run second and run third approach is paying dividends, and Adrian Peterson is in a groove. Peterson ran the ball 18 times for 108 yards, an average of 6 yards a carry.
“We just felt that we’re confident in ourselves,” Callahan said. “We have a good, solid running back … and the concepts were good.”
WHAT NEEDS HELP
The defense that entered the season with big expectations continues to struggle. The bend-but-don’t-break stretch against San Francisco and Minnesota wasn’t going to last forever.
Washington’s third-down defense is second worst in the NFL, and that’s taking its toll.
“We’re not just playing as a whole (group) the whole game,” rookie cornerback Jimmy Moreland said. “It’s small little defining moments that changes the game. We’re not competing at a confidence right now. We just have to get better.”
STOCK UP
Haskins showed promise in his first pro start, even if he’ll be kicking himself for some rookie mistakes.
“I thought it was a good start as far as my experience,” Haskins said. “There are some things we want to take back and we didn’t execute at a high level in all phases of everything, as far as our game plan and something we can continue to work on and get better at. As I get more reps and more experience, I feel like I can be in more control of certain things, and that will come with time.”
Given that the Redskins’ playoff hopes are long gone, there’s no logical argument against handing the starting job to Haskins now, if only to see what they have in him ahead of the draft.
STOCK DOWN
After leading all rookies with 23 catches - five for touchdowns - and 408 yards, Terry McLaurin is now being treated like the premier offensive weapon he is. Opposing defenses have clamped down on McLaurin, a third-round pick out of Ohio State who at one point was a front-runner for offensive rookie of the year.
Buffalo held McLaurin to four catches for 39 yards. Haskins, his college teammate, said the Bills were clouding McLaurin - and now it’ll be up to him and offensive coordinator Kevin O’Connell to devise a solution for that.
INJURED
Washington continues to be without versatile third-down back Chris Thompson (toe), tight end Vernon Davis (concussion) and safeties Montae Nicholson and Deshazor Everett (ankle). The bye week comes at a good time for those players and Keenum, whom Callahan trusts much more than former backup Colt McCoy, the favorite of since-fired coach Jay Gruden.
KEY NUMBER
13 - The number of quarters the Redskins’ offense has gone since scoring a touchdown dating to a 17-16 win at Miami on Oct. 13.
NEXT STEPS
Now that Haskins has two full weeks to study the playbook, the Redskins should be able to expand options from the condensed menu he had for his first start.
