Published: August 2022

Introduction: Skull vault lesions are often asymptomatic and are usually discovered incidentally during computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging of the brain. Calvarial lesions can be benign or malignant. Calvarial lesions may arise from skull bones or can be secondary to invasion of skull vault from brain or scalp based lesions. Objectives: The aim of this study is to study the role of CT and MRI in evaluating skull vault lesions. Material and methods: 50 patients with skull vault lesions were considered in our study.The patients underwent CT and MRI scans of head. Results: Among 50 patients, most common skull vault lesions were Skull metastases, osteoma and epidermoid cyst. Chordoma, osseous hemangioma and intraosseous meningioma were the least encountered lesions. Conclusion: This article has demonstrated that CT and MRI have complementary roles in determining the nature of skull lesions. CT is the most accurate method for evaluating bone destruction of the inner and outer tables while MRI is best to assess marrow involvement, soft tissue component and invasion of adjacent tissues.

Published: August 2022

Aim: The purpose of the present research was to co-relate the clinical findings of amoebic liver abscess cases in tertiary care centre with the respective computed tomographic findings. Methodology: CT images of 112 symptomatic patients with ALA were analysed to identify the imaging features distinctive of each morphological type. The following CT findings were investigated: the presence of abscess wall, rim enhancement, edge characteristic, septa, intermediate density zone, and peripheral hypodensity. Abscesses from each type were further evaluated for their clinical presentations, laboratory findings and outcomes. Results: We identified three types of ALAs: type I, II and III. Type I abscesses (66%) were characterized by absent or incomplete walls, ragged edges and peripheral septa; their edges exhibited irregular and interrupted enhancement. Type II (28%) had a complete wall characterized by rim enhancement and peripheral hypodense halo. Type III (6%) demonstrated a wall but without enhancement. Clinically, type I abscesses presented acutely with severe disease. They had significantly deranged laboratory parameters, higher incidence of rupture and higher rate of inpatient or intensive care unit admission. The severity of the disease prompted immediate percutaneous drainage in most type I abscesses (81%).

Published: August 2022

Repositioning of the anterior dento-osseous segment posteriorly is carried out with the Anterior Maxillary Osteotomy (AMO) procedure. Maxillary excess can be corrected by a combined orthodontic and orthognathic approach.  Anterior Maxillary Osteotomy has been performed since its inception in 1921 by Cohn Stock wherein, elastic force was used to retract the anterior maxillary segment. Wassmund, Wunderer and Cupar proposed modifications for AMO. This article gives an insight of a case treated by anterior maxillary osteotomy along with fixed orthodontic treatment for correction of maxillary anterior excess.

Published: August 2022

Introduction: Extreme repeated use of the dental implant handpiece may cause aging of the handpiece through heat generation of the implant motor and affect its lifespan. We aim to conduct an in-vitro study on the impact of the torque after repeated use of the implant handpiece.  Materials and methods: Two types of implant handpiece systems NSK, and SAESHIN were applied. The output torque was calibrated using a digital torque gauge. The experiment was done under the setting torque value of 35 Ncm (implant placement torque) and 50 Ncm (overloading torque condition) and 30 times per set; a total of 5 sets were performed (N = 150). Results: NSK and SAESHIN implant handpieces depicted significant differences in output torque output at the setting torques of 35 Ncm and 50 Ncm (P <.001). The type of implant handpiece and repeated use influenced the output torque (P <.001). Conclusion: Notable changes were noted due to repeated use, and the implant handpiece should be achieved and repaired during long-term use. Moreover, for successful implant results in dental clinics, the output torque of the implant handpiece system should be checked before implant placement.

Isolation and identification of Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria from burns and wounds patients in Diyala governorate
Authors: Jasim Marwa Tawfiq , Alzubaidi Adawia Fadhel Abbas , Al-Rubaye Sami Manthoor Dawood
Published: August 2022

Patients with burns and wounds are more likely to contract an infection in the hospital than other patients due to the loss of the protective barrier (skin) and immune system disorders that appear in these patients, making the affected tissues a suitable environment for the infection. Hospital infection is one of the most severe complications that affect patients and significantly increases the rates of disease and death.

In the age of globalisation and liberalisation, new technologies have completely altered the character of economic interactions. The complexity of business transactions and the difficulty of controlling risk grew as a result of the growth of corporate life cycles. It was partly due to the 1992 stock market scandal by Harshad Mehta that sparked concerns about corporate governance in India, as well as the current sathyam scam, that the issue of corporate governance became an issue in the country. Accounting scandals and concerns about the accuracy of financial reporting necessitated a focus on corporate governance. In a nutshell, corporate governance is concerned with fostering a culture of equality, openness, and responsibility inside organisations.

A study on the Indian judiciary's contribution in achieving Sustainable Development Goals
Authors: Chatterjee Aniket
Published: August 2022

In point of fact, the developing environmental jurisprudence in India has depended on three distinct but interrelated components. To begin, it exemplifies the new constitutional law logic in India, which now unequivocally places a higher priority on addressing the concerns of the general public than it does on guarding individual rights. Second, it represents some parts of Indian legal culture via an implicit and explicit reliance on autochthonous values that are founded on old, pre-colonial indigenous beliefs and concepts of law. These values are reflected in the constitution. Thirdly, it is a testament to the exceptionally active role that the higher Indian Judiciary has played in pushing this new logic, which is borne out by this evidence. The function of higher judiciary in the recent evolution of Indian environmental jurisprudence may be characterised by these three components that are interrelated with one another.

An individual's growth spans several domains, including the social, spiritual, cultural, emotional, legal, intellectual, etc. Education plays a crucial role in this progress. Literacy is the key to success in every aspect of life. Human resources are essential to the development process. Human resources include things like education, experience, aptitude, character, imagination, and so on. Human resources are crucial to the growth of people everywhere. Education broadens one's perspective on both oneself and the world. As a result, it has far-reaching positive effects on their quality of life and the social well-being of the community as a whole. The more people are educated, the higher their output, innovation, and technical progress will be. Education's ability to cultivate professional, social, and communication skills is vital to ensuring economic and social progress and a more equitable distribution of resources. When placed in novel circumstances, humans' thoughts might shift. That being the case, progress in human development is ongoing. Societal factors and educational opportunities both play crucial roles in shaping an individual's potential. The human being is a social animal with the capacity for growth through learning.

A study on the strategic role of the Organizational Culture
Authors: Maheshwari Reena
Published: August 2022

The association between organisational culture and organisational strategy is established by this study. It also aims to learn how a successful firm uses its culture as a survival tactic in order to endure uncertain economic times. Only pragmatist articles on organisational culture and strategy were reviewed for this work. Previous studies' authors characterised organisational culture as an organization's assumptions, beliefs, and values, whereas an organisational strategy is all about the steps an organisation takes to accomplish long-term objectives. These two notions are related and have proven successful for organisations, according to the literature. The review discovered that organisational culture and strategy are interwoven and that organisational strategy starts with a summary of the organization's beliefs, norms, and values. Because both serve the same aim, the study further proved that organisational culture may be viewed as an organisational strategy. The study's findings demonstrate that organisational culture is a distinct organisational growth approach in and of itself. The findings imply that maintaining an organization's culture is a tactic used to outperform rival companies.
