A New Diagnostic Tool for Asthma

Resistance (R) of airways to flow of air is increased in asthma

NEW ALGORITHM detects cyclical airway closing within the data

100% accurate in patients with symptoms90% accurate even in mild or treated patients without active symptoms

Resistance is slightly increased but not enough to make diagnosis

This is insensitive in mild or early asthma

Conventional tests look at changes in average R

Godavari Bio to raise Rs 500 cr for new plant Kripa RamanMumbai, Nov.19

Sugar company Godavari Biorefineries is close to commissioning a facility that willenable conversion of B-heavy molasses from sugarcane into ethanol, keeping in mind a possible futurewhen prices of ethanol will rise sufficiently to make this viable.

The company will raise Rs 500 crore in both debt and equity to fund aGujarat-based plant that will manufacture specialty chemicals fromcellulose. Godavari Biorefineries will be the first company in theworld to attempt chemicals manufacture from bagasse-cellulose.For this, it has developed and patented a technology jointly withNational Chemical Laboratory, said Mr Vinay Joshi, ExecutiveDirector of the company.(Cellulose is now manufactured from cotton waste and wood pulp)
