Heart defects are associated with the structure of the heart. When any defect appears in the structure of the heart, it disrupts the normal flow of blood through the heart. The blood flow can slow down and sometimes flow in the wrong direction or to the wrong place and blocked completely. Sometimes, many heart defects are present at birth. For instance, congenital heart defect (CHD) is the most common type of birth defect. Some CHDs also cause heart block. Heart block is one of the severe medical conditions that occur with the heart's electrical system. This electrical system controls the rate and rhythm of heartbeats. These types of heart defects require specific heart closure devices for their treatment.

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are allotropes of carbon having cylindrical nanostructure. Carbon Nanotube is a tube-shaped material made up of carbon molecule, having a diameter of approximately nanometer (one-billionth of a meter or one ten-thousandth of the thickness of a human hair). Carbon nanotubes has many different structure, depending on length, thickness and type of helicity (projection of the spin on direction of momentum), and number of layers. All the carbon nanotubes are made up of similar graphite sheet. However, electrical characteristic of the carbon nanotubes (acting as metals or semiconductor) depends on the structure it exhibits. Carbon nanotubes exhibit excellent mechanical strength, comparable to graphite. Thermal and electric conductivity property of carbon nanotube can replace various materials in wide range of application such as consumer goods, electrical and electronics, energy, healthcare, automobile, aerospace, and defense sectors. Other application where carbon nanotube technology can be used as includes, conductive plastics, flat-panel displays, gas storage, batteries with improved lifetime, technical textiles, antifouling paint and micro- and nano-electronics.

Japanese encephalitis is a mosquito-borne viral infection mostly found in the rural parts of the Asia. Encephalitis According to World Health Organization, intensification and expansion of irrigated rice production system in South-East Asia over past 20 years is primarily responsible for escalating the disease burden by Japanese encephalitis. The disease is caused by flavivirus and affects approximately 68,000 people annually in Asia.Astonishingly there is no permanent cure to the fetal disease and about 20-30% of patient usually dies within a short span of time from the onset of disease. Moreover approximately 50% of the survived patient population develops permanent brain damage. The disease can be broadly classified into three prominent categories: prodromal febrile stage followed by acute encephalitic stage marked by CNS involvement. The last stage is either marked by either recovery or persistence of symptoms with permanent neural damage.
