The Journal of the Association of Physicians of India
|August 3, 2026
Summary
The Journal of the Association of Physicians of India (API) was founded in 1952 to serve as a platform for academic exchange and dissemination of medical research for physicians in India.
Area of Science:
- Medical Journalism
- History of Medicine
- Physician Associations
Background:
- The Association of Physicians of India (API) was established in 1944 by visionary physicians.
- There was a recognized need for a dedicated platform for academic exchange and enrichment among physicians.
- The journal was conceived to be the official voice of Indian physicians.
Purpose of the Study:
- To establish a dedicated journal for the Association of Physicians of India.
- To create a mouthpiece for Indian physicians to share knowledge and research.
- To facilitate the dissemination of contemporary medical information and wisdom.
Main Methods:
- Conceptualization and establishment of a medical journal.
- Defining the journal's role as a disseminator of research and information.
- Naming the journal "MEDICINE" (later Journal of API).
Main Results:
- The Journal of the Association of Physicians of India, initially named "MEDICINE", was successfully launched in 1952.
- The journal became a vital medium for academic exchange among physicians.
- It served as a platform for disseminating new research and medical knowledge.
Conclusions:
- The Journal of API has a rich history dating back to 1952.
- It has consistently fulfilled its role as a crucial platform for medical knowledge dissemination in India.
- The journal continues to be a significant resource for physicians, reflecting its enduring legacy.

01:25Rab Cascades
Rab GTPases act in a regulated cascade during membrane fusion, helping the lipid bilayers mix. The Rab family of proteins are active when bound to GTP, and inactive when bound to GDP. Hence, they act as guanine nucleotide-dependent molecular switches. Rab-GTP recognizes and binds to long or short-range tethering proteins to capture the target vesicle. These tethers coordinate with SNAREs on the vesicle and the target membrane to assemble the trans SNARE complex that locks the mixing bilayers.
01:28Transition Zone
The transition zone in concrete is a critical area where aggregate meets cement paste, marked by a distinct porosity and weakness compared to the surrounding material. The adhesion around the aggregates is primarily due to Van Der Waals forces. The voids within this zone influence its robustness; initially, it is less durable than the surrounding bulk mortar due to larger voids. Initially, when concrete is compacted, a higher water-cement ratio near the aggregates leads to the formation of...
01:14Rolling With Slipping
Rolling with slipping is a physical phenomenon that occurs when a rolling object experiences both rotational and linear motion but also experiences frictional forces that cause slipping. This phenomenon can occur in various situations, such as when a tire rolls on a wet road or a ball rolls on a rough surface.
An object's rolling motion is characterized by its rotation around its axis, while linear motion refers to the object's translational motion along a surface. Frictional forces can affect...

01:09Rolling Without Slipping
People have observed the rolling motion without slipping ever since the invention of the wheel. For example, one can look at the interaction between a car's tires and the surface of the road. If the driver presses the accelerator to the floor so that the tires spin without the car moving forward, there must be kinetic friction between the wheels and the road's surface. If the driver slowly presses the accelerator, causing the car to move forward, the tires roll without slipping. It is essential...
01:29Hydraulic Jump
A hydraulic jump is a sudden rise in fluid depth in open channels, occurring when high-velocity (supercritical) flow transitions to low-velocity (subcritical) flow. This phenomenon requires an upstream Froude number greater than 1, as flows with Fr1<1 remain subcritical, making a hydraulic jump impossible due to the need for negative head loss, which violates thermodynamic principles.The characteristics of a hydraulic jump depend on the upstream Froude number and are classified as...
01:20Sulfur Assimilation
Sulfur is an essential element in biological systems, contributing to synthesizing key biomolecules, including amino acids such as cysteine and methionine, and cofactors such as coenzyme A and biotin. Microorganisms primarily assimilate sulfur as sulfate (SO₄²⁻) from the environment, which must undergo a series of biochemical transformations before it can be incorporated into cellular components. As sulfate is highly oxidized, it must undergo assimilatory sulfate reduction to become...
