Read the Case study below. The premises from which we begin are not arbitrary ones, not dogmas, but real premises from which abstraction can only be made in the imagination. They are the real individuals, their activity and the material conditions of their life, both those they find already existing and those produced by their activity. The premises can thus be verified in a purely empirical way We too have sought to empirically verify many of our contentions and the findings, which have been published elsewhere, are quoted briefly herein. While we have used a fair amount of quantification in the textbook, we have consciously desisted from taking the industrial engineering route to HR by counting people. Rather, we have taken the alternative Marxian humanistic route of counting on people to leverage an organization's core competency to ensure competitive behavior in the domestic as well as the global market. All along, we have given primacy to man since we, as HR professionals, are increasingly dealing with the knowledge worker in the age of the intellect. Based on our research and the ensuing conclusions drawn we view Strategic HRM as a function as if it were a four legged table(see the table below) with a tie bar an a brittle top. Human resource management is an intricate subject either made very simple by zealous and student friendly writers or rendered too complex by those caught up in abstruse argument and ideologically slanted polemic. Since the canvas we chose to paint on was vast but the collage was intricate, we needed to simplify the subject without oversimplifying it. We had to enable the reader to merge with the reality in the world of industry and business without letting him get submerged by the complex nature of that social reality. Geometry gave us the necessary locus classicus) theretofore. Including it as a part of our larger design, geometry also gave us a locus standi.

Question 31 In the case of antituberculous treatment toxicity, how high should the serum glutamic pyruvate transaminase (SGPT) rise before we should stop treatment?

Question 32 After starting antituberculous treatment, when is the fever expected to subside and the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) to return to normal?

Question 33 What are the indications of steroids in the treatment of tuberculosis?

Question 34 I am a final-year medical student in India, where tuberculosis in all forms is one of the most common diseases with which we deal. I read that you feel there is no indication for steroids in tuberculosis. Is it not reasonable to give steroids with antitubercular therapy (ATT) in a patient with tuberculous pericarditis, meningitis, peritonitis and ocular manifestations due to tuberculosis, in order to reduce the damage caused by inflammation and fibrosis? If not, what suitable alternatives, other than steroids, would you recommend to reduce damage from postinflammatory fibrosis?

Question 35 What dosage of steroids and duration of treatment should be given to patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis? What are the new drugs, their recommended dosage and duration of treatment?

Question 36 What is the poor prognostic factor in cryptogenic fibrosis: fibrosis or concomitant connective tissue disorder?

Question 37 Are wheezes present in extrinsic allergic alveolitis?

Question 38 Is the measurement of chest expansion with a tape a useful physical examination to indicate the severity of emphysema?

Question 39 In asbestos-related pleural disease (pleural plaques and mesothelioma), how asbestos fibres get to the pleural space?

Question 40 How do you differentiate clinically between thickened pleura and pleural effusion?
