Coexistence of Graves’ Disease (Basedow’s Disease) and Ulcerative Colitis

The coexistence of Graves’ disease (GD), also known as Basedow’s disease, and ulcerative colitis (UC) is uncommon although both conditions involve the autoimmune process. This report reviews the Englishand Japanese-language literature on coexisting hyperthyroidism and UC, and discusses cases of concomitant GD and UC reported since 1980. Of the 16 cases of concomitant GD and UC that were identified, 10 were female (62.5%). In one case (6.3%), GD and UC were simultaneously diagnosed. In nine cases (56.3%) GD developed before UC and in six cases (37.5%) UC developed before GD. The time interval between the development of the primary and the concomitant disease was 0–20 years. Most cases of concomitant GD and UC were treated with pharmacotherapy and there were no deaths reported.
Isolation of entomopathogenic nematodes from soil of olive orchards and evaluation as a biological control of the olive scale, Parlatoria oleae Colvée (Homoptera: Diaspididae) in Saudi Arabia

Soil samples were collected from olive orchards at Aljouf region, Saudi Arabia to isolate and identify Entomopathogenic nematodes. EPNs extracted by greater wax moth, Galleria melonella L. larvae baiting technique. In two samples Heterorhabditis spp. (Ord. Rhabditida: Fam. Heterorhabditidae) and in one sample Steinernema spp. (Ord. Rhabditida: Fam. Steinernematidae) were identified. The soil acidity in the samples ranged between 7.6 7.9 PH. The pathogenicity of these nematode isolates was tested on the olive scale, Parlatoria oleae Colvée, under laboratory conditions. The aim of this work was to determine if the tested nematodes could reach and kill the pest nymph inside the scale. Water suspensions of different nematodes were prepared and sprayed on the infested leaves and branches. Doses of 100, 200, 400, 800 and 1200 infective juveniles (Ijs) nematodes per/ml. were applied; leaf disks and branches were sprayed with 1ml (0.5ml/side) of different concentrations of a nematode suspension. Doses used showed a highly positive response. The nymphal mortality was more than that of the adults when Oleyl-polypeptide (wax remover) was added in the nematodes solution. Heterorhabditis spp. achieved the highest mortality (76%) at the dose of 1200 Ijs/ml. The mortality rates increased with the increase of nematodes concentration.
JOB SECURITY AND JOB SATISFACTION AS DETERMINANTS OF ORGANIZATIONAL COMMITMENT AMONG UNIVERSITY TEACHERS IN CROSS RIVER STATE, NIGERIA

The purpose of this study was to find out the extent to which job security and job satisfaction predicted organizational commitment of university teachers in Cross River State, Nigeria. The relative contribution of each of the two independent variables to the prediction was also investigated. A survey design was adopted and the study sample consisted of 290 lecturers selected from 2 universities using purposive sampling technique. Two hypotheses guided the study. Instrument for data collection was a structured questionnaire. Data were analyzed using multiple regression and t-test. The result of the study revealed that both job security and job satisfaction jointly had a significant effect (F = 9.87; P< .05) on organizational commitment of university teachers. There was also a significant correlation between the joint predictor variables and organizational commitment (R = 0.593; P<.05). Job satisfaction was a more potent predictor of organizational commitment (t = 3.38; P < .05) than job security ( t = 2.75; P < .05). The two independent variables made significant relative contributions to the determinacy of organizational commitment of university teachers. Premised on these findings it was recommended that the government and university management should improve upon existing motivational strategies to ensure job satisfaction of academic staff in order to enhance their commitment. Actions of government and university authority that would lead to threats of job security among academic staff should be avoided as this could jeopardize their sense of commitment.
CERTAIN PHYSICO-CHEMICAL CHANGES IN SOILS CAUSED BY CONTERMINATION OF PETROLEUM OIL IN SOME MASEV COMMUNITIES IN BENUE STATE, NIGERIA

The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) oil pipeline project has left its mark in form of environmental problems in some Masev Communities of Benue State. An extensive area of prime agricultural land has been affected. Spilled petroleum oil is certainly responsible for alterations of soil physico-chemical properties. From five selected communities which had experienced oil spill, twenty four soil samples were collected at oil spill sites at depth 0-15 cm (surface soils) and twenty four others at depth 15-30cm (subsoils). A similar exercise of soil sample collection was done at three selected sites from three communities, within the same geographical area, unaffected by oil spill. Soil chemical and physical property analysis was carried out in the Benue State Water Board Laboratory Makurdi for the affected and non-affected areas to assess the extent to which the soil in the affected areas had been affected by the project. The results of the tests were analyzed using some statistical methods. The result of the analysis showed that the soils in the affected areas were significantly contaminated by oil spillage from the NNPC pipeline and this, in turn had affected the agricultural productivity and biodiversity within the communities. The laboratory results were based on FEPA standards. It has been suggested that there is an utmost necessity to take some perfect steps either to control or to minimize the petroleum oil pollution in this area.
Association of signs and symptoms of temporomandibular joint disorder between gender, partial edentulism, and morphological occlusion among dental patients in Chennai

Website: jprsolutions.info ISSN: 0975-7619 symptoms are more prevalent among women than among men, prevalence being highest among young and middle-aged women. [6,7] The etiology of TMD is still unknown;[8] however, several studies reported relationships between TMD and bruxism, grinding or clenching of the teeth,[9] osteoarthrosis, abnormal occlusion,[10] tooth wear, non-working side occlusal interferences,[11] limited mandibular movements, auditory function, menstrual cycle,[12] partial loss of teeth,[13] masseter muscle activity,[14] osteoarthritis,[15] anxiety and depression,[16] and reduced maximum bite force. [17] TMD prevalence among dental patients would provide information for the early diagnosis and management of TMD.
Correlations between Glycosylated Hemoglobin and Lipid Profiles in Newly-Diagnosed Type II Diabetics

Introduction: Type II diabetes is a chronic disease which results from aspects such as complex inheritance interaction, obesity, and sedentary lifestyle. In India, diabetes is turning into an epidemic as currently, more than 62 million individuals suffer from the disease. To our knowledge, very few studies have evaluated the correlation between lipid profiles and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) in newly diagnosed type II diabetes patients with hypertension. The early detection of lipid abnormalities in these patients will help prevent the cardiovascular outcomes. Objectives: To identify patterns of dyslipidemia among newly diagnosed type II diabetes mellitus (DM) patients with and without hypertension in Bengaluru (urban and rural) in Karnataka (South India); and to identify correlations between HbA1c levels and lipid profiles. Methods: This was a cross sectional study involving 194 individuals in Bengaluru, India from the period of April to December 2017. Demographics, lifestyle habits and clinical features were analyzed for the presence of any interrelationship with the occurrence of diabetic dyslipidemia. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), followed by Tukey’s post hoc tests, Chi square and correlation studies were used to establish a significant level of association between the study parameters. Results: Among non-diabetics, prediabetics, diabetics and diabetics with hypertension, there were significant differences in lipid profiles, as well as levels total cholesterol, triglycerides, high density lipoprotein (HDL), low density lipoprotein (LDL), very low-density lipoprotein, ratios of cholesterol to HDL and ratios of LDL to HDL. Positive correlations were observed between HbA1c and fasting blood sugar (FBS), and random blood sugar (RBS) in non-diabetics; whereas, in prediabetics, the RBS highly correlated with HbA1c and negatively correlated with HDL. In diabetics, both fasting and random blood sugar highly correlated with HbA1c, however, no significant correlation was observed between HbA1c and any of the tested lipid profiles in non-diabetics and diabetics. A strong correlation between HbA1c and lipid profiles was established. Conclusion: An overweight diabetic man with poor glycaemic control, over the age of 46 years, having a desk job or working as a driver or businessman, with abdominal obesity, leading a sedentary lifestyle and having habits such as alcohol drinking and smoking is at high risk for developing hypertension.

Introduction: Many factors of tooth loss will compromise chewing and general health and quality of life. Saudi populations demonstrate a high prevalence of caries and a striking increase in dmft/DMFT. Usually, tooth loss is rehabilitated by different prosthetic options including implant, fixed partial denture and removable partial denture. Aim: To evaluate the relation of oral health-related quality of life with the type of prosthesis and oral health status among patients who have removable or fixed partial dentures in King Saud bin Abdulaziz University for health science, college of dentistry. Material and methods: Cross-sectional study would be conducted at the College of Dentistry, King Saud bin Abdulaziz University (KSAUHS) and Dental Centre, KAMC, NGHA. Convenient sampling was carried out by selecting 109 patients from those who visited the dental clinic. Oral health status was captured using the DMFT index. The collected data were entered and analyzed by adapting the SPSS computer software. Result: The type and quality of prosthesis and its effect on the OHRQoL on patients showed no significant relation (p=0.459), but the duration of wearing of prosthesis showed significant relation (p=0.046). Regarding DMF total of (n=109), 61 had low DMF, 48 had high DMF witch was statically significant (p=0.02). Conclusion: At the end of this study we conclude that there were no significant impacts on quality of life in relation to the type of prosthesis. On the other hand, we found a significant relation with OHRQoL in function domain, esthetic part and oral health status.

The anti-inflammatory activity of piroxicam is due to the reversible inhibition of Cyclooxygenase COX-1 resulting in disruption and production of prostaglandins [2].
Comparison of dermatoglyphic patterns in oral leukoplakia and oral submucous fibrosis patients

Background: Genetics plays an important role in the detection of an Oral potentially malignant lesion. A major contributor to genetic study is Dermatoglyphics or the study of fingerprints and lines of palmer and plantar surfaces. Many researchers have used dermatoglyphics to connect genetics with oral lesions and malignancies. Thus, the current study has been conducted to find out an association between dermatoglyphic patterns and oral leukoplakia, oral submucous fibrosis and healthy subjects. Methods: The present study is conducted on subjects that have been already diagnosed with oral lesions. Fingerprint patterns (whorled, loop and arch) were evaluated by utilizing fingerprints. Results: The present study showed that the loop pattern was common in all three subjects. The frequency of whorled and arch pattern is decreased in oral leukoplakia and oral submucous fibrosis that healthy subjects. Arch pattern is comparatively decreased in subjects with oral leukoplakia than oral submucous fibrosis and there is a decrease in the frequency of whorled patterns in OSMF as compared to oral leukoplakia. Conclusions: Authors conclude that simply by observing the whorled and arch patterns in a subject, authors can hypothesize that risk of occurrence of oral leukoplakia and oral submucous Fibrosis and take preventive measures against the said lesions.
Scientific Opinion on the suitability of goat milk protein as a source of protein in infant formulae and in follow-on formulae

On request from the European Commission following an application by Dairy Goat Co-operative (NZ) Ltd, the Panel on Dietetic Products, Nutrition and Allergies was asked to provide a scientific opinion on the suitability of goat milk protein as a source of protein in infant and follow-on formulae. The Panel considered compositional data of an infant and a follow-on formula made from whole goat milk that retained the natural whey-to-casein ratio of goat milk, data from a double-blind, randomised, controlled, three-centre trial, and a re-analysis of the data of the trial which formed the basis of a previous evaluation of the Panel. A study in 200 Australian infants, randomised to receive an infant formula with unmodified goat milk protein or a cow milk formula exclusively for at least four months and thereafter in addition to complementary food until 12 months did not show statistically significant or clinically relevant differences in weight, length or head circumference development. The growth pattern of formula-fed infants differed, as expected, from that of the WHO growth standard in particular with respect to weight-for-length. The results of this study were supported by the results of the trial considered in the Panel's earlier assessment, in which, however, the sample size was insufficient to draw conclusions. The Panel concludes that protein from goat milk can be suitable as a protein source for infant and follow-on formulae, provided the final product complies with the compositional criteria laid down in Directive 2006/141/EC.
Risk assessment heuristics: Cues and intention to use a condom in casual sex

Objective: This study examined the relationship between three heuristic cues (consistency, liking and social proof) and condom use in casual sex relationships utilising the theory of planned behaviour. Participants: Totally, 388 US college students were surveyed. Method: Three vignettes for each cue primed students to project their willingness to use a condom during casual sex encounters. Results: Repeated-measures multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA) revealed that the cues exerted significant main effects on attitude (F(5, 1,935) = 6.16, p < . 001), subjective norms (F(5, 1,930) = 5.626, p < . 001), perceived behavioural control (F(5, 1,935) = 8.51, p < . 001) and behavioural intentions (F(5, 1,930) = 2.44, p = . 033). Post hoc analysis revealed condom avoidance behavioural intentions were more likely for the vignette depicting social proof (M = −1.26, standard deviation [SD] = 1.08). Conclusion: Findings indicate that heuristic cues influence college students’ condom use intentions, and prevention programmes should incorporate cues to increase effectiveness.
PHARMACOSOMES: A POTENTIAL VESICULAR DRUG DELIVERY SYSTEM

Pharmacosome is a potential approach in the vesicular drug delivery system which exhibit several advantages over conventional vesicular drug delivery systems. Pharmacosomes are amphiphilic lipid vesicular system possessing phospholipid complexes of drugs. Drugs bearing active hydrogen atom can be esterified to the lipid. This type of vesicular system improves permeation of drugs across the biomembranes and thus results in an improvement in the bioavailability and can also improve the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties of various types of drug molecules.This vesicular system can be characterized by surface morphology, solubility study, differential scanning calorimrtry, x-ray powder diffraction, in vitro dissolution study. Pharmacosomes are suitable for incorporating both hydrophilic and lipophilic drugs.Preparations of pharmacosomes are basically performed for various non-steroidal antiinflammatory drugs, proteins, cardiovascular and antineoplastic drugs.

E-Loyalty: The influence of product quality and delivery services on e-trust and e-satisfaction in China

This study proposes and tests an integrative model to examine the relations among product quality and delivery services, e-trust, e-satisfaction and e-loyalty in China. Analysis of survey data from 415 customers of e-tailing, Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) has been performed to examine the reliability and validity of the measurement model. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) technique was used to test the hypotheses of the causal model. Our study reveals that product quality and delivery services (i.e. product variety, quality, availability, reliable delivery, package safety and timely delivery) directly influence e-satisfaction and e-trust. Thus trust has both direct and indirect (through e-satisfaction) impact on e-loyalty. Consequently, both e-trust and e-satisfaction are significant determinants of e-tailing customer’s loyalty. Managerial implications, research limitations and future research directions are provided in the following presentations of the findings.
REVIEW ON CAVITATION ANALYSIS IN PIPES

When any fluid’s local pressure reaches a level lower than the saturation vapor’s pressure at ambient temperature, cavitation bubbles begin to form. Along with the fluid flow they are driven to the points of high pressure where they collapse quickly. As the fluid pressure becomes less than saturation pressure, dissolved gases will be released from the fluid . These air bubbles will then suddenly collapse when the flow enters into a region of higher pressure. This results in a high dynamic pressure which damages the pipelines because of its high frequency. Prolonged cavitation in pipes may lead to severe problems. If left unattended, the results of cavitation can be disastrous, as it eats away the pipe and creates vibration that will cause the pipe to burst. In the present paper, a brief review on the general features of cavitation phenomenon and various aspects related to cavitation in pipes are discussed.
Effects of Chlorhexidine on Taste Perception :A Systematic Review

Aim:To evaluate the effects of chlorhexidine on taste perception Methods and material:The studies included in this review are all randomized controlled trials that are directly related to testing the effects of chlorhexidine on taste perception. Seven (PubMed, Cochrane, Medline, lilacs, science direct, Scopus, grey literature) databases and additional sources were searched for articles published in the English language. Six articles were identified that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The experiments and the results in these articles were then analyzed. Result: Five out of six articles support the fact that chlorhexidine does change the taste perception and four out of the six articles show that there is a decrease in the taste perception of saltiness and bitterness. Conclusion:This systematic review confirms that chlorhexidine does indeed have an effect on taste perception.
COUPLED AND NONCOUPLED RESPIRATION IN RAT CARDIOCYTES

The respiration of rat cardiocyties while oxidizing different substrates was studied polarographically to quantify rates of coupled and noncoupled respiration at 37 0 C in incubation medium. Cardiocyte respiration rates were higher in state-4 with succinate than with NAD-linked substrates especially being used high substrate concentration. The rate of the oxygen consumption in intact cardiocytes did not change after addition of NADH and ADP. In the presence of digitonin cаusing increase of cytoplasmic membrane permeable. ADP increased cardiocyte respiration rate approximately three-fold with pyruvate (+ malate) as substrate and less than two-fold with succinate as substrate. In presence of digitonin (30 ng/ml and cytochrome c (2 mg/ml), the cells oxidized exogenous NADH (1 mM) at a high rate that did not change after addition of ADP. Rotenone blocked the oxidation of exogenous NADH. In the presence of digitonin and cytochrome c (2 mg/ml), ascorbate (20 mM) was also oxidized at a high rate which did not change after ADP addition. Oligomycin, which blocks the ATP synthase, did not decrease the rate of succinate oxidation in state-4 and NADH or ascorbate oxidation. Mitochondria isolated from collagenase treated hearts responded similarly to the different substrates and inhibitors as did the cardiocytes. Based on these findings, it appears that cardiocytes are able to oxidize substrates by two pathways, one coupled to the synthesis of ATP (coupled respiration) and one not inhibited by oligomycin and thus not connected with synthesis of ATP (noncoupled respiration).
Simple Vaginal Trachelectomy for Small Volume Cervical Cancer: Case Report and Review of the Literature

The radical hysterectomy with pelvic lymphadenectomy is the standard treatment for stages IA2-IB1 cervical cancer. In the literature, there is an ongoing debate whether less radical surgery (conization, simple trachelectomy or simple hysterectomy) can be a valuable option in selected patients with early-stage small volume cervical cancer. We report here a case of an elderly patient (80 years of age) with an early-stage IB1 small volume cervical cancer where a simple vaginal trachelectomy was the only possible surgical approach, due to a completely obliterated abdomen related to previous extensive surgery and radiation therapy. In response to this case, a literature search was performed on PUBMED and MEDLINE of all studies published as original articles in English up to June 2017, using the search terms cervical cancer, early-stage and trachelectomy. We reviewed the recent literature on less radical surgery in cervical cancer as well as ongoing trials.
