Drains have been traditionally used routinely after thyroidectomy despite limited evidence to suggest any benefit. In many facilities, drains are routinely inserted after thyroidectomy with the aim of preventing hematoma formation and accumulation of seroma. Objective: To compare the outcome of drain versus no drain after thyroidectomy in patients presenting with clinically benign lesions of thyroid Methods: Study design is Randomized control trail. Settings are Department of Surgery, Mayo University Hospital Ireland. Study was completed in 6 months after the approval of synopsis 13-07-2015 to 31-05-2016. After taking approval from Hospital Ethical Committee, 60 patients fulfilling the inclusion criteria were selected from ward of Department of Surgery, Mayo University Hospital Ireland. Informed consent was taken. The demographic information was obtained. Patients were randomly divided in two groups by using lottery method. In group A, drain was inserted after surgery while in group B, no drain was inserted. All surgeries were done by a single surgical team. After surgery patients were shifted to ward and were followed-up there. At time of discharge, duration of hospital stay was noted. Patients were advised to follow-up in OPD after 7 days of surgery. Patients were assessed for seroma and hematoma formation. Results: Mean age of women in Group-A and in Group-B was 43.73±10.51 years and 40.23±9.07 years. In Group-A there were 13(43.3%) male and 17(56.7%) females while in Group-B there were 18(60%) male and 12(40%) females. In Group-A mean hospital stay of patients was 5.80±1.42 days and in Group-B mean hospital stay of patients was 3.76±1.10 days. In Group-B patients rate of hematoma and seroma formation was low as compared to that of Group-A patients but this difference was not statistically significant. Conclusion: Outcome of thyroidectomy is better in terms of shorter hospital stay, and other post operative complications in patients without drain.

Perception and Reality of Pakistan’s India Centric Foreign Policy
Authors: Tabinda Siddiqui and Arif Mahmood
Published: April 2022

Since 1947, Indo-Pak hostility and the consequent Kabul-New Delhi bonhomie have been a recurrent feature of Pakistan’s foreign policy. Being located at an advantageous geostrategic location and having proximity with the regional powers, its foreign policy remains security-driven. In the words of Western strategists, Pakistan’s foreign policy is “obsessed with India.” At the same time, it is often overlooked what really causes Pakistan to follow such a foreign policy orientation. This paper analyses the criticism of Pakistan’s “obsessed with India” policy in the light of South Asian political history and its proximity with India and Afghanistan, to argue that Western strategic community’s assertion needs to be revisited.

Soil contamination is a major issue that must be prioritized, as food safety is mostly determined by soil quality. Soil quality has deteriorated significantly across the world with the continued expansion of industrial growth, urbanization, and agricultural activities. Soil contamination has become a growing issue and a barrier that must be addressed if we are concerned about re-establishing a healthy ecosystem. The activity is mostly driven by human activities, which include the use of pesticides, chlorinated organic pollutants, herbicides, inorganic fertilizers, industrial pollution, solid waste, and urban activities. While many methods have been developed to remediate significant pollutants generated by these activities, their degree of application may be constrained or inappropriate for a specific location. Parameters such as treatment duration, safety, and efficacy of soil/pollutant treatment all play a part in selecting the best appropriate technique. These technologies have been classified into three broad categories: physical, chemical, and bioremediation. This review shows and talks about thermal desorption (TD), which is a common way to clean up polluted soil.

The purpose of this study was to provide an intervention model to prevent the decrease in happiness caused by human rights victimization by analyzing the moderated mediating effect of the growth mindset on the path of human rights victimization to happiness through grit for university students. A total of 233 university students who took part in this survey were selected through purposive sampling. We did data analysis using SPSS PC + Win. Ver. 25.0 and SPSS PROCESS macro Ver. 4.0. Frequency, reliability, correlation, and moderated mediating effect analysis were applied. First, human rights victimization was negatively and significantly correlated with grit, growth mindset, and happiness. Second, the moderated mediating effect of a growth mindset on the path from human rights victimization to happiness via grit was verified. The human rights victimization of university students affects happiness through grit, and the growth mindset increases the effect of human rights victimization → grit → happiness path. This result will be used a new model to enhance happiness for university students.

Rehabilitation of edentulous patient is done by dentist with the fabrication of complete denture. It is commonly observed that mandibular dentures are not satisfactory when compared to maxillary denture due to centrifugal resorption of mandible. Thus rehabilitation of atrophied edentulous mandible by using implant to support and retain the prosthesis is an acceptable treatment option. It adds to the denture stability, increase masticatory efficiency and comfort of the patient. The present case report discuss about a patient with prosthodontics rehabilitation consisting of single implant supported overdenture.

Aim: To evaluate the antimicrobial efficacy of Curcuma Longa, 17% EDTA, and 3% sodium hypochlorite against E.faecalis, C.Albicans. Materials and Methods: The antimicrobial activity was determined using disc diffusion test. Ethanol extract of turmeric, 3% Sodium hypochlorite, 17% EDTA, absolute ethanol, Enterococcus faecalis cultures, Candida Albican cultures, Mueller Hinton agar. The disc diffusion test was performed in Mueller Hinton agar plates. The plates were incubated at 37°C for 24 hours and zone of inhibition were recorded. Finally, it was statistically analyzed. Results: Ethanol extract of turmeric showed zones of inhibition suggesting that they had anti-microbial properties. Ethanol extract of turmeric showed significantly greater (almost same) zones of inhibition than 2% chlorhexidine. Henceforth research should be directed towards the use as an irrigant in root canal treatment. Conclusion: Under the limitations of this study, it was concluded that Ethanol extract of turmeric has a significant antimicrobial effect against E. faecalis. Microbial inhibition potential of ethanol extract of turmeric observed in this study opens perspectives for its use as an intra-canal irrigant.

Since its introduction about fifty years ago, adhesive technology has advanced rapidly. In this current era,nanoparticles has gained attention in restorative dentistry because of its advantages like improving bond strength and stability of restoration.As opposed to the chemical process, the green synthesis of titanium oxide nanoparticles has more advantages one of which is improved antimicrobial activity. Antibacterial  dental adhesives can help to prevent recurrent or secondary caries. The aim of this invitro study was to evaluate the antimicrobial property of self etch adhesives incorporated with Tio2 nanoparticles. The extracts of Piper longum herb was used to make titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2NPs) in a green way.Its aim is to create a tight bond between tooth dentin and restorative material.Failures in this process could result in microleakage, allowing bacteria, fluids, and ions to infiltrate.The antimicrobial property of self etch adhesives incorporated with Tio2 nanoparticles were tested against standard strain of S.mutans, lactobacillus and E.faecalis using the Zone of inhibition test. The diameter of inhibition zones were measured in millimeters.

Climate change is destroying our lives through rise in sea level, climate related deaths, malnutrition, floods, cyclone, droughts, heat waves etc. The problem further worsens when we fail to understand that though climate change affects everyone but it affects more who are at vulnerable position, especially women. They suffer greater safety and health risks because they are the last to be rescued, their sanitation is being compromised. Women also do not fully participate in climate related planning and policy due to unequal participation in decision making process. Women commonly face higher risks and greater burdens from the impacts of climate change in situations of poverty and due to existing roles, responsibilities and cultural norms. This paper suggests that the women are first responders in crises, entrepreneurs of green energy and decision-makers at home, women offer valuable insights and solutions into better managing the climate and its risks. Hence, women can play a critical role in response to climate change due to their local knowledge of and leadership in sustainable resource management and/or leading sustainable practices at the household and community level.
