| Abstract | Heart Failure is the Nation's largest public health cost (AHA website). It equally affects men and women of all races. Heart transplantation is an effective treatment but a very limited resource that falls far short of the clinical need. There is a unique opportunity for micro/nanotechnologies to contribute to the diagnosis and treatment of heart failure that could substantially enhance the quality of life for many heart failure patients. Mechanical circulatory support (MCS) demonstrated the largest patient benefit of any heart failure therapy in the randomized evaluation of mechanical assistance for the treatment of congestive heart failure. These patients also reported and improvement in quality of life. However, the patients implanted with an assist device also experienced adverse events over twice the rate of the patients on optimal medical therapy. Presently, the average cost of this procedure is somewhat greater than for heart transplantation. Major therapeutic advances usually lead to improvements in all the procedures and practices associated with the advance itself. This is an important opportunity for micro/nanotechnologies (MNTs) to improve device design and reduce the adverse events rates associated with mechanical circulatory support. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
