Assessment of sedation need in a group of patients under- going dental treatment at a tertiary facility in Lagos State

Aims: the fear of dental treatment and anxiety about dental procedures are prevalent and have an impact on the quality of life of patients and the quality of dental treatment they receive. sedation can be useful for patients undergoing complex or unpleasant operative procedures but there is no appropriate documentation on the need for sedation for pain and anxiety control in dental clinics in Nigeria. the aim of this study was to assess the need for sedation by a group of patients undergoing dental treatment using the indicator of sedation need (IOsN) assessment tool. Methods: this descriptive study was conducted at the restorative dentistry and oral and maxillofacial surgery clinics of the Lagos state University teaching Hospital, Ikeja, Lagos. (LAsUtH). the IsON questionnaire consisting of the modified dental anxiety scale (MDAs) and the medical and behavioral indicator rank score was used to assess sedation need. results: Majority of the respondents were female (52.9%); between 21–30 years old (30.5%); had tertiary education (68.9%); had not had a previous traumatic treatment (60.9%) and required a complex dental Oyapero A.1, Enone L.L. 2, Osasuyi A.3 Affiliations: 1Department of Preventive Dentistry, Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, Ikeja, Lagos, Nigeria; 2Department of Restorative Dentistry, Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, Ikeja, Lagos.

Overall 8% of the sample indicated very high dental anxiety (HDA) with total scores above the 19 and above. conclusion: Using the IsON, 10% of the respondents had a high or very high sedation need. Easy access to conscious sedation in dental offices and knowledge of this access might encourage the fearful among the general population to seek oral care promptly.
Repeated Occurrence of HyperCKemia After Levetiracetam Administration

It is often difficult to identify the specific cause of hyperCKemia when treating epilepsy patients, due to frequent use of multiple antiepileptic drugs and possibility of seizure-related rhabdomyolysis. Levetiracetam-induced hyperCKemia is a rarely encountered adverse event, which has been recognized recently. Previously reported cases showed merely possible association between the use of levetiracetam and rhabdomyolysis. We report a 40-year-old epilepsy patient who showed repeated hyperCKemia after levetiracetam readministration, confirming ‘probable’ causal relationship between levetiracetam and hyperCKemia, by showing positive response after dechallenge and rechallenge.
Fall Detection Using Wavelet Transform and Neural Network

— T his paper proposes a method to detect falls using a Neural Network with Weighted Fuzzy Membership Functions(NEWFM) and wavelet-based feature extraction. Data extracted from study subjects were applied to the NEWFM after going through preprocessing and wavelet processes. From the created wavelet coefficients, 40 initial features were obtained using statistical methods, including frequency distributions and the amounts of variability in frequency distributions. In order to assess the fall detection performance of the NEWFM, the data were divided into training sets and test sets in ratio of 5:5 to conduct experiments with the respective ratios. Based on the results, the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of the NEWFM were shown to be 98.02%, 98.99% and 98.5% respectively when the ratio of the training set and the test set was 5:5.
Effect of Substituting Soybean Meal with Fermented Leaves and Seeds of the Rubber Tree (Havea brasiliensis) on Protein Intake and Percentage of Organ Weight in Broiler Chicken

In intensive poultry farming, nutritional needs must be provided by farmers. In this system, feed is the largest component of production costs. In the broiler business, the cost of feed is 70% of the variable costs (Nurtini, 1988) [1], and the cost of feed for ducks is 60% of the variable costs (Anggorodi, 1995) [2]. High feed prices are a cause of losses in poultry farming in Indonesia. One of the causes of the high price of poultry feed is the high price of feed raw materials, especially imported ones such as fish meal, soybean meal and corn.
Failure investigation of Planetary Gear Train due to Pitting

Planetary gear train is a gear system consisting of one or more planet gears, revolving about a sun gear. And it is wildly used in industry, such as paper industries, wind mills, and sugar industries. An epicyclical gearing system is particularly well suited for achieving a highreduction ratio in a relatively small, power dense package. It is widely recognized that the load sharing is not equal among the planetary gear meshes. Similarly, the stress distribution at each mesh point contains variability. Pitting is a surface fatigue failure of the gear tooth. It occurs due to –misalignment; wrong viscosity selection of the lubricant used, and Contact stress exceeding the surface fatigue strength of the material As we know gear is one of the most critical component in a mechanical power transmission system, failure of one gear will affect the whole transmission system. Therefore it is necessary to find the root cause which results into failure of gear and try to eliminate these causes. Failure analysis is an engineering approach to determining how and why equipment or a component has failed. The goal of a failure analysis is to understand the root cause of the failure so as to prevent similar failures in the future.
To Study the Effect of Liraglutide on Formalin Induced Tonic Pain in Obese and Diabetic Rabbits

To study the effect of Liraglutide on formalin induced tonic pain in obese and diabetic rabbits. Rabbits were divided into three categories i.e. normal, obese and diabetic. All the three categories were further subdivided into Liraglutide and Vehicle treatment groups. Rabbits were made obese by giving HFD (High fat diet) for 10 weeks. Diabetes was induced by giving Dithizone 5mg/kg i.p. Tonic pain was induced with 5% formalin given subcutaneously. Liraglutide or vehicle was given for 3 weeks subcutaneously. It was observed that obese rabbits showed a significantly lesser pain score as compared to normal rabbits while diabetic rabbits showed a significantly higher pain scores. Liraglutide was then given to both the group of rabbits and it was observed that Liraglutide, though produced a significant fall in body weight but decrease in tonic pain scores was not significant in obese rabbits, but in diabetic rabbits a significant decrease in pain scores was observed. © 2014 iGlobal Research and Publishing Foundation.

A Novel Epileptic Seizure Detection Using Fast Potential-based Hierarchical Agglomerative Clustering Based on EMD

Epilepsy is a chronic brain disorder that widely affects people. Mainly,it represents recurrent seizures that are brief episodes of involuntary movement. Detecting seizure is an important component in the diagnosis of epilepsy and for the seizures control. In the clinical practice, this detection basically involves visual scanning of Electroencephalogram (EEG). Many techniques have been developed for unscrambling the fundamental devices of the current seizures in EEGs. This paper presents a new framework using fast potential-based hierarchical agglomerative (PHA) Clustering Method and Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD). The introduced algorithm first computes the Intrinsic Mode Functions (IMFs) of EEG signal, then calculates the Kolmogorov distance between each IMF and performs the detection based on PHA method. The evaluation results are very promising indicating an overall accuracy of 98.84%. A comparison between the proposed method and other existing methods in literature has been performed to show the advantage of proposed framework for detecting epileptic segments.

Correlation of serum prostate-specific antigen level in various prostate pathology in elderly men

Background: Carcinoma of prostate is one of common tumors of old age in men. With digital rectal examination (DRE) prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is a major screening tool for prostate cancer. While Trans Rectal Ultra Sound (TRUS)-guided needle biopsies of prostate are considered gold standard for the diagnosis of prostate cancers. Objectives: To determine the spectrum of pathological lesions in TRUS-guided needle biopsies of prostate in men with increased serum PSA levels (≥ 4 ng/ml) with or without symptoms of prostatism. Material and Methods: The study was carried out at the Department of Histopathology, B.J. Medical College Civil Hospital, Ahmedabad from January 2015 to October 2015. The study included 110 cases. Serum PSA level and histopathological examination of prostatic biopsies were performed and correlated. Raised serum PSA level were arbitrarily divided into mild (≥ 4–10 ng/ml), moderate (≥ 10.1–20 ng/ml), and marked elevations (≥ 20.1 to highest). Results: The mean age of patients was 66.9 ± 9.4 years. Out of 110 cases, 69 (62.72%) cases were benign and 41 (37.2%) were malignant. Among malignant lesions, all cancers were of moderate to high Gleason grades and scores. Mild serum PSA rise was seen in 63 (57.27%) patients, among these 52 (84.1%) showed benign lesions and 10 (15.9%) malignant. Moderate serum PSA rise was seen in 26 (23.6%) cases, among 12 (46.15%) showed benign and 14 (53.8%) malignant. Briefly, 21 (19.1%) patients had serum PSA level > 20.1 ng/ml. Among these 4 (19.04%) cases were benign and 17 (80.9%) were malignant. Malignant lesions included prostatic adenocarcinoma. Benign lesions included benign prostatic hyperplasia, prostatitis. Conclusion: In the present study, serum PSA level is one of the most useful front line methods for assessing individual’s risk of prostate cancer. In addition, elevated level more than 4.0 ng/ml with TURS-guided needle biopsy is most useful and accurate diagnostic method for prostate.
Characteristics of patients with subchorionic hematomas in the second trimester

To investigate the etiological characteristics of patients diagnosed with subchorionic hematoma in the second trimester. A case-control study was setting in Obstetrics and Gynecology Department in corporation with Laboratory Department (Bacteriology Unit) and Ultrasound Department in Imamein Kadhimein Medical City, Baghdad, Iraq, from May 2012 to the May 2013. This study includes (140) pregnant women fulfilling the inclusion and exclusion criteria at the second-trimester to compare the characteristics of patients and controls. Via Ultrasound examina on; (70) pregnant pa ents were found to have subchorionic hematomas (pa ents) and (70) had no evidence of such hematomas (controls). Comparison was done between these two groups with regard to demographic data (age, body mass index and cigarette smoking), reproductive history and endocervical and vaginal microorganisms. Results revealed that there were no significant differences between the hematoma and control groups regarding demographic data or reproductive history. Evaluation of the endocervical Chlamydia trachomatis revealed that the positive culture rate was significantly higher in the hematoma than that of the control group (cases: 68.6%, control: 14.3%, P value: < 0.001) and for vaginal Gardnerella vaginalis and coagulase-negative staphylococci; also higher positive culture rates were found in the hematoma than that of the control group (cases: 77.1%, control: 14.3%, P value: < 0.001), (cases: 45.7%, control: 15.7%, P value:<0.001) respectively. The negative culture rate of Lactobacillus in patients with subchorionic hematoma was significantly higher than that of the control ) cases: 85.7%, control: 10%, P value: < 0.001). In conclusion, pregnant women with subchorionic hematoma in the second-trimester show changes in the vaginal flora, which suggests a possible association with subchorionic hematoma and vaginal flora change. Therapy for symptomatic bacterial vaginosis in pregnant women may have other benefits such as a reduction of the risk for STI(s) including chlamydial infections, which improves the pregnancy outcome and prevents perinatal morbidity and mortality.

Bio Technology: An Indian Journal

Introduction Productivity of buffalo is still low and there is a plenty of room for increasing productivity of buffalo through improvement of reproductive performance. The productivity of buffalo is considerably affected by inherent problems such as low reproductive efficiency, which is mainly due to late maturity, poor expression of estrus, anestrus, inactive ovaries, long postpartum interval, seasonality in cyclicity and silent estrus. Anestrus due to ovarian dysfunction or silent ovulation and repeat breeding are two major reproductive disorders in buffalo [1]. Regulation of reproductive function involves the hypothalamus–pituitary–gonad axis and its interactions. The follicular stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone Abstract The aim of this study was to detect the genetic polymorphism of luteinizing hormone receptor (LHR) gene and its association with fertility in Egyptian buffalo using PCR-RFLP and sequencing analysis. A total number of 301 comprised of 100 fertile and 201 nonfertile buffalo were used. Gynecological examinations (aided by ultrasonography) were carried out twice for two successive weeks. The genomic DNA was extracted from females and the PCR product was assessed. The percentages of inactive ovary and endometritis (grad, I) were the most common reproductive problems. The mean uterine horn diameter was largest during follicular phase followed by luteal phase and inactive ovary (2.67 ± 0.11, 2.28 ± 0.09 and 2.18 ± 0.11 cm, respectively). The PCR product of the primer specific for LHR gene gave the specific band at size 303 bp.The amplified fragments remained undigested by HhaI restriction enzymes and all tested buffalo were genotyped as TT. DNA sequence of 259 bp out of the amplified 303 bp was determined. The sequence alignment of 259 bp of Egyptian buffalo LHR with published sequence (accession number: XM_006078413.1 and JQ885687.1, Bubalus bubalis) showed that the 259 bp segment possess identities at 100%. In conclusion, monomorphic pattern for LHR gene is considered a unique feature that may be related to the characteristic species in buffalo. Therefore, the polymorphisms and interaction with the fertility trait should be the subject for further research with a bigger number of animals.
FRACTAL DIMENSION: A NEW METHOD TO QUANTIFY INTESTINAL HEALING IN DIABETES

Purpose: to investigate if experimental alloxanic diabetes could cause quantitative changes in intestinal anastomoses of the terminal ileum and distal colon in rats, as compared to controls, measured by fractal dimension. Method: 96 male Wistar rats weighing ±300 g were split into four groups, and were submitted to ileum and colon anastomoses after a 3 month pre op period of follow up: G1control group with ileum anastomoses, G2control group with colon anastomoses, G3-diabetic group with ileum anastomose and G4diabetic group with colon anastomoses. After a three month post-op period, the animals were sacrificed on days 4, 14, 21 and 30, and fragments of the anastomoses were removed, and analyzed in the scanning electron microscope and the images obtained were used to calculate the fractal dimension of the anastomosis. Results: Ultrastructural analysis of the anastomoses revealed fewer wide collagen fibers that were narrower and disarranged, as compares to the control animals in all of the moments. The results of fractal dimension showed a tendency to higher complexity of the anastomosis in the diabetic animals, as compared to controls. Conclusion: experimental diabetes caused qualitative changes in scar tissue, seen at alterations in the structural arrangement of collagen fibers and a tendency to more complexity in fractal dimension.

Big Data’s predictive analytics will certainly help e-commerce companies to gain better insight of the consumer behaviour and thus offer customised products and services. The key finding of this research is that Big Data has a significant impact in e-commerce organisations in Saudi Arabia on various verticals like customer retention, inventory management, product customisation, and fraud detection.
EMPIRICAL REVIEW OF PROBLEMS AND PROSPECTS OF BANANA (Musa Sapientum L) AND PLANTAIN (Musa Paradisiaca L) PRODUCTION ENTERPRISES

The present study examined the existing cropping systems and identified problems and prospects of banana and plantain production enterprises. Data were collected from a sample size of 180 farm households by means of well structured and pre-tested questionnaire, personal observation and focus group discussion. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistical tools and Likert scale rating technique. The findings showed that mixed cropping system accounted for 65% of the farmers. Major crop mixtures were banana/yam/ vegetable, banana/cassava/ vegetable; plantain/cassava/ vegetable; plantain/ sugarcane/ vegetable among others. Family and hired labour accounted for 56.25% and 43.75% respectively. Major problems of banana and plantain production enterprises among others were disease, maggot/nematode attack; inadequate capital; high cost of input; paddling/trecking long distances to/from farms and effect of climate change. It was recommended that the prospects of banana and plantain production enterprises could be enhanced by the provision of credit/ loan, farm inputs, farm equipment, good rural roads, and improved varieties of suckers as well as ensuring improved farming systems among others by Government, Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) and institutions alike through genuine political will.
HERDING BEHAVIOR IN STUDENT MANAGED INVESTMENT FUNDS: IDENTIFICATION, IMPACT AND REDUCTION

Student Managed Investment Funds (SMIFs) have grown in number; unfortunately, there has been little research on the efficacy of these funds. We fill this gap by exploring the potential consequences of student investment management. We find that investment decisions are often impacted by herding behavior, which results in underperformance. We further examine characteristics that influence the likelihood of herding, finding that pre-existing knowledge of the company under consideration, as well as amplified time constraints, increase the probability that herding occurs. In contrast, we find that increased education, both general and targeted behavioral education, reduces the likelihood (and impact) of herding.
