Management of lung cancer in Africa: Underdiagnosis and poor access to treatment – A close look at Nigeria and West African Sub-region
Authors: Okonta Kelechi E. , Echieh Peter C. , Abubakar Umar , Baiyewu Lateef A. , Nzewi Onyekwelu C.
Published: September 2021

Lung cancer is of public health importance and imposes a great deal of socioeconomic and disease burden on the West African subregion and Nigeria in particular. It is one of the most common cancers worldwide and accounts for 11.4% of all new cancers. In this review, we did not find any well-coordinated lung cancer registry in either Nigeria or any other West African country. For us to attain any meaningful level of the interventional plan to address any identifiable deficiencies in the treatment of lung cancer in the West African subregion, it is imperative that a specific regional lung cancer registry with a regular audit of the reporting, is set up. There is an urgent need for further studies on the local risk factors predisposing to lung cancer, especially in the younger age group. Finally, intense pressure must be mounted on the governments within West Africa to implement the 15% GDP allocation to the health budget as agreed in the WHO/Abuja Declaration and to speed up efforts towards universal health insurance.

Authors: Addala Haritha , Pappu Lalitha
Published: September 2021

Trigonella foenum- graecum (fenugreek) is a leguminous plant with poor nitrogen fixing ability. The current study deals with the effects of T.viride on growth, yield and 4-hydroxyisoleucine content in fenugreek. 4-hydroxyisoleucine is an antidiabetic compound present only in plants particularly in fenugreek. Treatment of fenugreek seeds with T.viride enhanced the growth, yield and 4-hydroxyisoleucine content significantly compared to control. Seeds were treated with T.viride suspension (107spores/seed) and untreated seeds (1 ml distilled water/ seed) served as control sown in pots filled with potting soil. Several growth parameters like root length and lateral root expansion, shoot length, yield, chlorophyll and nitrogen were estimated. 4-hydroxyisoleucine content in fenugreek seeds was estimated by ninhydrin method. A significant increase of 25 % in root length and 128 % in lateral root expansion and 50 % in shoot length was observed in treated plants over control. The total yield increased by 95 % in treated one. The total chlorophyll content exceeded by 21.86 % and total plant nitrogen by 121.73 %. An increase of 27 % of 4-hydroxyisoleucine content is observed in treated fenugreek plants over control.

Adsorption of Oil Spill from Sea Water using Coconut Shell Powder
Authors: Mohammed Aslam Abdullah
Published: September 2021

Oil Spill has resulted in severe impact on marine ecosystem as oil spill can have toxicological effects which when consumed, can affect the human respiratory system. Also, the oil and gas industry has had to deal with a massive amount of waste water as a by-product of the exploration of oil and gas. Methods which are used to purify water from petroleum and oil products are: mechanical, physicochemical, chemical and biochemical. Adsorption is a very effective and easily interpreted physicochemical method. In our study, we have highlighted the benefits and procedure of removing oil from seawater using coconut shell powder which is a natural and easily available adsorbent. UV Spectroscopy has been performed to support the feasibility of coconut shell powder as our agent of adsorption. We studied the effect of bed height with respect to removal efficiency analytically. The removal efficiency increases with increase in bed height. Correlation between the Freundlich adsorption isotherm model and adsorption equilibrium data was done and it was found that adsorption equilibrium data was better than the Langmuir model eventually in our experiment.

Published: September 2021

Description of the subject. With increasing concerns on the sustainability of agricultural systems, many tools have been developed to assess farm sustainability. Objectives. The main objective of this study was to assess and compare the sustainability of different forms of family farm organization. A second objective was to test the relevance of the IDEA method (Indicateurs de Durabilité des Exploitations Agricoles or Farm Sustainability Indicators) to compare tree-crop-based family farms in tropical areas. Method. Percentages of sustainability were calculated based on individual interviews conducted with 25 rubber farmers representing three different types of farm (typology based on the labor used for farming activities), using three scales and 10 components. Results. The socio-territorial scale was the weak point of the rubber farms. In contrast, the economic scale was relatively the best asset on all farms. The factor that most differentiated the three types of farm was the agro-ecological scale followed by the socio-territorial scale. The economic scale did not discriminate. Moreover, only the diversity of production and efficiency components showed a notable difference between the different types of farm. Conclusions. Overall, the three types of farm with contrasting forms of farm organization were not much different in terms of sustainability performance. Family business farms with managerial family labor appeared to be the least sustainable. Thus, as family business farms are becoming more and more important in Thai agriculture, if these results are confirmed on a broader scale, this represents an issue for the sustainability of the Thai rubber sector that would require government intervention.

Introduction. Cet article propose une synthèse des connaissances actuelles sur la classification, l’écologie et la biologie des céphalophes des forêts denses humides d’Afrique centrale (genres Cephalophus et Philantomba). Il fait aussi le point sur les pressions anthropiques subies par ces mammifères terrestres. Littérature. De nombreuses publications sur les céphalophes vivant dans les forêts denses humides d’Afrique centrale se focalisent sur la chasse, qu’elle soit de subsistance ou commerciale, y compris le braconnage. La classification taxonomique des céphalophes ayant été récemment révisée, de nouvelles espèces ont été décrites, alors que leur écologie n’est que très peu documentée. Cette synthèse met en exergue les déficits en termes de connaissances scientifiques et propose les thématiques prioritaires pour de futures recherches. Conclusions. Bien que de nombreux domaines restent à explorer pour certaines espèces (utilisation de l’habitat, domaine vital, etc.), il est suggéré d’étudier en priorité les techniques de différenciation des espèces de céphalophes lors des inventaires, leur rôle dans la dynamique forestière et l’impact de l’exploitation forestière sur leurs populations.

En este artículo se presenta, en base al análisis de los componentes del Decálogo de Barragán, los avances detectados de la última década y los principales desafíos que enfrenta el manejo costero integrado (MCI) en Uruguay. Tanto en Uruguay como en la región se han intensificado actividades con alta capacidad de impacto en zona costera (e.g. litoralización) lo que sumado a las tendencias regionales de la variabilidad y el Cambio Climático exige implementar acciones para modificar el uso dominante del espacio costero. En el período indicado se han mejorado las capacidades del país para abordar el manejo costero, tanto a nivel normativo como de políticas públicas, así como de integración de los niveles implicados, de articulación entre las instituciones competente y un mayor involucramiento de los actores sociales. Se aprobó una Directriz costera y se creó un Departamento de Gestión Costera y Marina en el Ministerio de Vivienda Ordenamiento Territorial y Medio Ambiente, a la vez que se incorporaron conceptos clave como el de componentes vulnerables. También se avanzó en el conocimiento científico, particularmente de índole interdisciplinaria, y se consolidó la formación terciaria con base conceptual en el MCI, así como en las instancias de capacitación a actores de la sociedad civil y de la gestión. Se evidencia una mayor concientización de la población en relación a estos temas y se han multiplicado las acciones de participación de la sociedad civil, si bien se requiere aún un importante esfuerzo para avanzar hacia un equilibrio entre desarrollo y conservación que cuente con la participación sustancial de los actores. A la vez, se constatan desafíos mayores como dar continuidad a las diversas iniciativas, y superar algunas incertidumbres propias de la Directriz sancionada. Un aspecto central sigue siendo la financiación adecuada de los programas y proyectos ya aprobados, y la mejora y ampliación de la capacitación de los actores. Finalmente, siguen siendo puntos débiles la puesta en práctica y diseminación de experiencias de MCI exitosas, principalmente de carácter local, así como lograr una mayor participación social en la toma de decisión.

Authors: Saeed Jaffar Alkazim, Mohamed Battour Saeed Jaffar Alkazim, Mohamed Battour
Published: September 2021

We concluded from this study that motivation is an important and essential part of the organizational process of the institution and that its importance lies in representing a strategy to achieve the goals of the individual and the organization together, as incentives are a development tool for the individual working in the organization. It also became necessary as it has a reflection on the quality of work and thus the abundance of production, so incentives pushed employees and workers to high levels of performance in the areas in which the stimulation methods were developed, whether material or intangible, while the pace remained terribly slow, as is the case in regions. A vast expanse of the Arab world where the wheel of production remained souls, Therefore, this study examines whether the Islamic approach to motivating workers and employees is able to be one of the most important approaches to motivating workers, and this is what the study sought, which shed light on that Islamic Sharia, as it came with tolerant teachings through which it was possible to create motives and motivate workers to work and produce other than These methods can be accessed by searching for them in the legislative texts and their interpretations, such as the Holy Qur’an and the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and after studying the biography of the Prophet (may God be pleased with them) and the history of Islam. Hence, it is possible to identify the problem that the study adopted, which is the absence of a basic reference to determine the motivation, especially in the crowd of many references that are subject to political, social or economic considerations and may be inherited sometimes. It is the one who determines the methods and methods of stimulation. The criterion by which methods and tools of motivation are measured on the basis that the reference that is valid across times and places on the basis of taking into account the development of tools and the change of shapes and models, the study has reached results to this goal, and that it can be learned from the teachings of Sharia administrative materials in Field of stimulation.

The notary has enjoyed a privileged position in the legal system, and the work of the notary is considered a form of achieving justice, as this profession has an impact on society, as it is considered one of the most dangerous professions because the nature of the documentary’s work is based on establishing the rights of individuals in an official form such as the transfer of ownership, and given the importance of the documentary in The law has assigned the legislator a special protection for it and in return impose a penalty for everyone who prejudices the sanctity of the contracts notarized and concluded by the real estate notary, as the authority of the notary is considered the authority of the law, as the notary is authorized by the state and has rights and obligations regulated by law. Documentation has also become one of the basic factors in the lives of individuals and their relationships in society, as it has become a tool in the hands of the state to follow up and supervise legal work, and with the development of the notary’s work with social and economic openness, there has become a great demand for documentation by individuals in order to ensure their rights and obligations. It is considered a legal guarantee of individual rights (Makhlouf, 2015, p. 81). We conclude from this study that the notary is responsible for his professional mistakes towards his client, and for this reason the aggrieved (client) has the right to refer to the notary or the authority to which the notary is affiliated in his work based on the provisions of the responsibility of the follower for the fault of the follower, and the aggrieved party has the right to sue them together, as the aim of these The study is a statement of the civil liability that falls on the real estate notary and a statement of the duties and rights that he owes. As for the lawsuit for compensation for the damage that the client suffered against the notary, the law did not distinguish it with special provisions in terms of its prescription period, but rather subjected it to general provisions in the civil law, In order for the civil notary to be responsible, the general elements of any liability must be met, which are three pillars: First, the documentary error, whether intentional or not, and it occurred before the writing of the notary, or during its writing, or after the writing of that contract, and the criterion by which this error is measured is the behavior of the notary Average in terms of adequacy, and that the damage is realized and is a direct result of that error.

Підводячи підсумок проведених досліджень, можна зробити висновок, що використання засобів фізичної реабілітації у хворих на остеохондроз дає відчутний позитивний ефект, дозволяє значно скоротити час проходження реабілітації.
If Walls Could Talk: Augmented space designed to enhance physical and social engagement.
Authors:   , Chan Holly
Published: September 2021

This thesis addresses the issue of the change in Human Interaction with the built environment. Over the past 20 years, technology has become increasingly prevalent in our lives. With the current advancements of mobile devices and social media, the public’s attention is captured in the virtual environment. The mind has become separated from the physical realm and designers must now compete with technology for the public’s attention.

This thesis explores the development of Augmented space, which involves overlaying the built environment with digital information. Digital media provides the opportunity to enhance physical space with the element of interaction, which results in a high level of user engagement.

Many architectural spaces are designed as passive space, serving no pragmatic purpose. Through the addition of digital media, emotional and reflective value can be added to the built form. If space is designed to be reactive, rather than passive, a dialogue can be formed between the user and the environment. This thesis explores how meaningful connection to place can be developed through the addition of interactive digital media.

There is an opportunity to change architecture as a practice to consider digital technology as a tool rather than a threat. This thesis proposes that digital media can be used to re-engage the public with the built environment and increase interaction with physical form with the development of augmented space. The body of research explores how digital media can become embedded in the built form and can be used as a form of materiality by the designer. As new interactions are formed with the built environment, the public can form meaningful relationships with space and create stronger emotional connections with the spaces they inhabit.

Authors: Zhao Nannan , Li Nan
Published: September 2021

Objective: To study the therapeutic effect of endoscopic submucosal dissection and mucosal resection on gastric neuroendocrine tumor. Methods: A hundred patients with gastric neuroendocrine tumor that were treated in the Affiliated Hospital of Chifeng University from January 2016 to May 2021 were randomly selected for this research. They were divided into two groups, which were the control group (endoscopic mucosal resection) and the study group (endoscopic submucosal dissection), by the digital table method. The curative effects of the two groups were observed and compared. Results: Before operation, there were no significant differences in serum CgA, TNF-?, and IL-6 between the two groups, p > 0.05. After surgical treatment, the operation time and hospital stay of the patients in the study group were shorter than those in the control group, the amount of surgical bleeding was also less compared to the control group, and the complete tumor resection rate was higher than that in the control group (p < 0.05); the levels of IL-6 and CgA of the study group were lower than those in the control group, while the levels of TNF-? were higher than those of the control group, p < 0.05; the postoperative complication rate of the study group was lower than that of the reference group (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Endoscopic submucosal dissection is more effective for gastric neuroendocrine tumors. The resection rate of the tumor is high, and the operation risk is low.

Mesiodens is the most common supernumerary tooth and is present in the midline between the two central incisors. It occurs mostly due to hyperactivity of the dental lamina. They are usually small, with a cone shaped crown and a short root, may be single or paired, erupted or impacted and occasionally even be inverted. Presence of more than one mesiodens is termed as mesiodentes. Presence of mesiodens may cause impaction or delayed eruption of permanent teeth, malocclusion leading to disturbance in chewing, swallowing and speech, root resorption of the adjacent teeth, impaired dentofacial aesthetics, and sometimes cyst formation. The erupted mesiodens can be easily diagnosed clinically, and the unerupted ones are best diagnosed by clinical and radiological evaluation. Although mesiodens is the most common supernumerary teeth, presence of double mesiodens is uncommon. In this paper we describe a case of palatally erupted double mesiodens and its management in a 20year old girl.

Free gingival grafting is a well-known periodontal plastic surgical procedure used for gingival augmentation, for root coverage procedures and in some cases of pre-prosthetic ridge augmentation. Several instruments have been used to harvest the graft from hard palate, ranging from scalpel to mucotome, each of which has its own advantages and disadvantages. One such instrument is Paquette blade handle, which incorporates a regular razor blade for graft harvesting. This article intends to describe in detail the handling of this instrument, its usefulness as well as limitations, as explained in the following three cases.

INTRODUCTION: Study aimed to investigate the influence of mandibular residual ridge shape on masticatory efficiency in complete denture wearer. MATERIAL & METHODS: Twenty-eight complete denture wearers of age group 45-65 who received their complete dentures and who had no complaints in daily use of them were selected for the study. The mandibular residual ridge was evaluated by using a replica of the ridge obtained using silicone impression material The basal area of the replica was measured by a Cercon eye scanner. The volume and the height of the replica were then mathematically calculated. Masticatory efficiency in each subject was measured by the sieving method. The data obtained were analysed through Karl Pearson’s coefficient of correlation. RESULTS: The results of this study showed significant correlation of the masticatory efficiency to the basal seat area, volume as well as to the height of the mandibular residual ridges. Among the three parameters, the basal area showed the strongest correlation. CONCLUSION: From this study, it was concluded that the basal area of the denture foundation greatly influenced the masticatory efficiency when compared to the volume and height of the mandibular residual ridge.
Aceto-orcein squash technique for barr body detection
Authors: Ashok Sahana , K P Ashok
Published: September 2021

BACKGROUND: Gender determination is an important aspect of forensic medicine. This can be done by identifying the presence of “Barr body”, which is the inactive ‘X’ chromosome seen in the nucleus at the nuclear membrane of a cell only in females. Sex determination can be done by other methods like polymerase chain reaction and karyotyping, which are expensive and not available in all places. Detection of Barr bodies in buccal smear is easy, cost effective and can be performed routinely with various staining methods.The aims of this study are 1) to identify Barr Bodies for gender determination. 2) To compare the efficacy of aceto-orcein technique and papanicolaou stain for detection of Barr bodies in buccal smears. MATERIAL & METHODS: In this cohort analytic study, buccal smears were prepared from 250 healthy individuals (125 males & 125 females). Two smears were prepared from each individual; one smear was stained with one percent Aceto-orcein and the other with papanicolaou. Single blind method was used in which pathologist randomly analyzed 100 cells in each sample under oil immersion for identification of Barr bodies.For statistical analysis T-test was applied to compare the variance between aceto-orcein and PAP.The statistical significance was < P 0.05 RESULTS: The number of identified Barr bodies with aceto-orcein staining was significantly more when compared to Papanicolaou staining at P>0.05. CONCLUSION: Aceto-orcein proved to be a better stain to visualize nuclear details providing a higher accuracy in gender detection with remarkably less staining time than papanicolaou stain.

BACKGROUND: To determine the effectiveness of three polishing systems on three different composite materials by evaluating surface roughness using a Profilometer and Scanning electron microscope. METHODOLOGY: A total of Sixty-three resin composite disks were prepared in rectangular acrylic mould of 8×2mm dimension, with 4mm thickness. Specimens were made of light activated resin composite Filtek Z-250-XT, Tetric-N-Ceram bulkfill, Ceram X Duo. The sixty-three samples were divided into three groups of twenty-one samples each i.e. Group A (Filtek Z-250-XT), Group B (TetricN-Ceram bulkfill) and Group C (Ceram-X-Duo).Out of 21 samples of each of the material, 7 specimens were polished with multi enhance polishing agents, 7 specimens were polished with super snap polishing agents and 7 specimens were polished with sof-lexdiscs.Surface roughness of each sample after polishingwasevaluatedusingProfilometer and Scanning electron microscope. RESULTS: One-way anova and kruskalwallis test was used for statistical analysis. Ceram-X-Duo gave least roughness average value with Super snap polishing system when compared to multi enhance and sof-lex polishing system. CONCLUSION: Super snap polishing system is a better polishing system than multi enhance and soflex and Ceram-X-Duo composite material offers better polishability compared to Filtek Z-250-XT and Tetric-N-Ceram bulk fill.

Pregnancy is characterized by complex physiological changes which may adversely affect the oral health and pregnancy outcomes. This study reports a survey on assessing the knowledge, attitude and practice behaviours of gynaecologists and oral health care professionals towards prenatal oral care and barriers limiting the utilization of prenatal oral care health care to pregnant women. The study population comprised of 3 groups: A- Gynaecologists, B- oral health care professionals and C – Pregnant women, 100 in each group. The prevalidated questionnaire included questions about their knowledge, attitude, beliefs and practices regarding oral health care for pregnant women. The data obtained was subjected to statistical analysis using ANOVA test and Pearson’s correlation test. The response rate was 100%. Regarding the association of periodontal disease and adverse pregnancy outcomes, Group A (75%) have high degree of knowledge than B (61%) and C (36%) but the attitude and practice behaviors were significantly high in Group B as compared to Group A and Group C Two-thirds of respondents in both Group A and B (75%) were interested in receiving continuing dental education (CDE) regarding the care of pregnant women.The self-assessed maternal barriers evaluated in this study were lack of knowledge, lack of perceived need.

INTRODUCTION: Iatrogenic perforations are one of the most exasperating complications of root canal treatment. The prognosis of the root with iatrogenic perforation depends on the location and the procedures undertaken to manage the problem. This case report gives an account of a lateral perforation on a canine tooth and the management strategy under the circumstances. It also gives an overview of some of possible approaches to prevent iatrogenic perforations. METHODS: A right maxillary canine which had an iatrogenic perforation was carefully re-treated and the defect in the bone was exposed using a full thickness mucoperiosteal flap and packed with bone graft material A clinical re-evaluation was done at the end of 3 months. RESULTS: After 3 months the tooth was asymptomatic. There was no tenderness on palpation and on percussion. CONCLUSION: A thorough knowledge of the anatomy of the tooth, combined with the use of appropriate techniques can help in reducing the complications that may occur during endodontic therapy. However, if a problem does occur, a scrupulous management would help in salvaging the involved tooth.

There appears to be similarities between the clinical appearances of different types of gingival overgrowths. The WHO type peripheral odontogenic fibroma (POdF) is an unusual benign odontogenic neoplasma of the gingiva. It is considered to be an extraosseous counterpart of the central odontogenic fibroma (COF). Among all biopsy specimens, POdF comprehend only upto 0.05%. Odontogenic fibromas are rare but still they provide a noteworthy diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. Along with clinical, radiographic appearance, and histologic features, a sound knowledge on biologic behavior of rare gingival overgrowths would ensure an accurate diagnosis of tumor pathology. We present here a case report of POdF that occurred in a young female patient in anterior interdental region displacing the tooth. Platelet rich fibrin (PRF) was used to stimulate soft tissue healing. Two year follow up showed satisfactory healing with no recurrence.

Periodontium is anatomically interrelated with the pulp through different pathways like dentinal tubules, lateral and accessory canals and apical foramen. The simultaneous existence of pulpal problems and periodontal disease can complicate diagnosis and treatment planning. When examining and treating the combined or individual lesion in endodontics and periodontics, the clinician must bear in mind that successful treatment depends on a correct diagnosis. This case series gives an insight into the various diagnostic modalities and treatment procedures that can be applied for the resolution of the endo-perio lesions.
