Aim: To evaluate the effect of two different activation protocols of periodontal distractor on periodontal health after rabid canine retraction. Objectives: 1) to evaluate the periodontal health of two activations/day of periodontal distractor. 2) To evaluate the periodontal health of four activations/day of periodontal distractor. 3) To compare between two different activation protocols of periodontal distractor on periodontal health. Methods: The study was carried out on 32 canine of 16 female patients (16-22 years of age) requiring extraction of bilateral maxillary first premolars and maximum anchorage. They were divided into two groups. (Group I): Canine retraction was done by periodontal distractor with twice activations per day. (Group II): Canine retraction was done by periodontal distractor with four activations per day. Periodontal distractor was cemented after bilateral maxillary premolar extraction and inter septal bone corticotomy was done. The periodontal health of maxillary canines was evaluated using these parameters before and after retraction: (gingival index, periodontal index and probing depth). All data were explored for normality by using Shapiro Wilk and Kolmogorov Normality test which revealed that all data originated from non-parametric data. Results: for periodontal index and probing depth there was insignificant difference between them in before and after in both groups. For gingival index there was insignificant difference between them in before, while in after group II was significantly higher than group I. Conclusion: In this study, there was increase in all periodontal health parameters including (gingival index, periodontal index and probing depth) after using of periodontal distractor with both protocols of activations denoting gingivitis. The 2 activations/day was better than 4 activations/day for periodontal health during canine retraction by periodontal distractor.

Chronic osteoarthritis of the pastern joint has a significant role in affecting the musculoskeletal system and is a recurrent cause of lameness in the equine athlete manifested by chronic lameness and thorough clinical and radiographic examination. This case report describes the evolution of chronic proliferative ossified osteoarthritis and periarthritis of the proximal interphalangeal joint of the front limb of a 12-year-old gelding. The careful clinical examination aimed to detect the site of the lesion, which is then confirmed by radiography that revealed extensive periarticular new bone formation over the proximal interphalangeal joint. This affection causes progressive deterioration of articular cartilage, accompanied by bone and soft-tissue periarticular changes. Control radiographic examination after a period of 10 months showed the extension of the lesion and the severe appearance of bone evolution and several medical approaches have been undertaken without improvement of the clinical condition of the horse. Several medical therapies are used in synergy with the palliative goal of reducing lameness and relieving pain, but most are of limited duration and do not stop the negative progression of the disease process. Once joint damage is advanced, it is difficult to remedy.

The term smooth uterine muscle of uncertain malignant potential (STUMP) indicates a group of uterine smooth muscle tumors (SMTs) that cannot be diagnosed unequivocally as benign or malignant. Diagnosis, surgical management, and follow-up of this neoplasm remain controversial, especially in pre-menopausal women with fertility desire, due to the non aggressive behaviour and prolonged survival rate when compared to leiomyosarcomas. Studies of STUMP are limited in population and rarity results in few analysis of its fertility outcomes and oncologic prognosis. STUMP has a lower tumor growth rate and recurrence is often delayed by years after initial event compared to high grade leiomyosarcomas which have an aggressive clinical course and behavior thus making it very important to differentiate stump from leiomyosarcomas .Recurrencerate ranges from 8.7% to 11%.

The study investigated cutting-edge research for global competitiveness among academic staff of Faculties of Education in the universities in South- South, Nigeria. Three research questions and hypotheses guided the study. The study adopted the descriptive survey design. The population of the study comprised 864 academic staff (Males = 523; Females =341) of the Faculties of Education in the 17 public universities in South-South, Nigeria. The sample size was 375 Academic Staff (Males = 229; Females = 146) representing 43% of the population drawn using simple random sampling technique. The instrument for data collection was titled Cutting-edge Research for Global Competitiveness among Academic Staff Questionnaire (CRGCASQ). The questionnaire was structured by the researchers, validated by experts and with a reliability index of 0.79 ascertained using Cronbach’s Alpha. Mean and standard deviation were used to answer the research questions while z-test statistics was used to test the hypotheses at 0.05 alpha level. The study revealed among others that the factors that hinder cutting edge research for global competitiveness among academic staff of faculties of education in the universities in South-South, Nigeria include: not publish and perish syndrome; too much academic workloads; non-adherence to the rigors of research such as going to the field to collect data; lack of research funding and compensation; insufficient research training; lack of technical support and so on. It was recommended among others that the Deans of Faculties of Education should critically analyze the factors identified for action plan to ensure staff cutting-edge research productivity.

Background: Pulmonary stenosis (PS) is one of the common congenital heart diseases (CHD) with the incidence of 8-10% of all CHD. Percutaneous balloon pulmonary valvuloplasty (PBPV) is considered as the treatment of choice for these purposes. It is a safe, effective and less time-consuming procedure. But in Bangladesh, we have very limited research-based data regarding the effectiveness of percutaneous balloon pulmonary valvuloplasty in treating pulmonary stenosis. Aim of the Study: The aim of this study was to evaluate the immediate and intermediate term outcome of percutaneous balloon pulmonary valvuloplasty in treating pulmonary stenosis. Methods: This was a hospital based prospective observational study conducted from January 2021 to December 2021 at Combined Military Hospital (CMH) Dhaka, Bangladesh. Interventional work was completed during the first 06 months and follow up was completed during the remaining 06months. A total of 50 patients were evaluated who had undergone PBPV by detailed clinical history, thorough physical examination and relevant investigations, like- CXR, ECG and Echocardiography. All data were processed, analyzed and disseminated by using MS Excel and SPSS version 24 program as per necessity. Results: In this study, two cases were undergone double intervention. During the procedure all cases developed bradycardia and 5(10%) developed cardiac arrest. Immediately after the procedure RV pressure was reduced and PA pressure was increased and PS gradient was reduced dramatically. The peak-to-peak pressure gradient across pulmonary valve reduced from pre-procedure value of 76.8± 5.41mmHg to post procedure value of 18.14±6.88 mmHg which is statistically significant (P<.00001). On D1 Echocardiographic follow up, 13 cases developed trivial pulmonary regurgitation (PR) and after that at D30 follow up, 1 patient developed mild PR out of these 13. In our study 46(92%) cases were successful and 4(8%) and procedure failed; out of these 04 procedures failed cases 3(6%) cases developed restenosis, one patient on D30 Echo and two cases on D90 Echo, D180 Echo do not develop any complications. Other than 3 restenosed cases all 47(94%) cases were leading healthy life without any unwanted events. All the restenosed cases had dysplastic pulmonary valve (PV). RV function of 50(100%) cases was good both in pre and post procedure as evidenced by normal TAPSE ranges from 15-22. Chest X- Ray (CXR) and Electrocardiography was found normal in 180 days follow up. Conclusion: Percutaneous balloon pulmonary valvuloplasty (PBPV) is already considered as the gold standard in the treatment of valvular pulmonary stenosis. This patient friendly procedure should be taken as a first line interventional treatment for congenital as well as post-operative valvular pulmonary stenosis. This study showed excellent outcome among study population without major complications and mortality and recommend PBPV as the first-choice therapy in our setup.

The clinical healthcare system has been burdened due to various disease outbreak such as COVID 19 outbreak. Clinical Workloads on healthcare workers and practitioners lead to fatigue and mental exhaustions, causing medical errors. About 98 000 patients globally expires due to preventable medical errors in hospitals due to workload of health practitioners. (Philibert, et al., 2002) The majority of mistakes are made by well-meaning people operating under poor systems, procedures, or circumstances. The healthcare workers and physicians have been facing intense workloads due small workforce, physician working hours and financial pressures on hospitals and healthcare centers. However, very limited research has been conducted on association of workload of healthcare workers and safety of patients. Therefore, we aimed to design the systematic review on evaluation of effect of increasing the health practitioner’s workload on patients and their safety. To fulfill aims of study, we conducted a systematic review & meta-analysis by following “Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA)” (Selçuk, 2019) guidelines related to title which was “effect of increasing the health practitioner’s workload on patients and their safety”. About 5 databases were used for data search, collection and extraction include PubMed, MEDLINE, EMBSE, Cochrane library, and PsycInfo, on 2 November, 2022. To search data, we used MeSH keywords of “effect of workload on health practitioners”, “Healthcare workers workload” “its effects on patients’ safety, effect of workload on medical errors” “Mental stress among workers” and “patient safety” among all databases. Only those research articles were extracted that have been published during March 2020 to October 2022, keeping the COVID 19 pandemic in context. There were five qualitative studies that evaluated the value of psychological treatment for mental illness. Stress resulting from worries about infecting close relatives and anxiety and fear of getting infection worries about the health professionals were two interwoven elements in all five investigations. Our findings could be explained by an increase in resident physician workload that followed programmers’ elimination of 24-hour shifts. There is evidence to suggest that patient safety may suffer when healthcare workers and doctors care for more than more patients each day.

The emergence of various forms of complex problems among Muslims is a challenge that must be passed. In order to overcome the emergence of various forms of problems that occur in the global era, it is very possible for people from different continents and countries to be able to interact. Thus, efforts are needed to understand Islamic law in terms of various aspects that accompany problems in this global era. This research consists of 2 (two) issues, namely the implementation of Tahlilan in Indonesia for Muslims and a review of Islamic law on Tahlilan to manifest grace for the ummah. This research method uses a juridical-normative approach with primary, secondary and tertiary legal sources which are analyzed using a descriptive-analytical approach. The results of the study explain that Tahlilan is a form of religious practice that has roots but is inseparable from controversy, namely Tahlilan activities in Indonesia. Originally, Tahlilan was only carried out after someone's death, but now it has become a religious activity that colors almost all community activities. Tahlilan in terms of Islamic law states that a study is not only based on the arguments of the Al- Qur'an and hadith texts, but also seriously considers customs for drawing conclusions. The issue of whether or not a law, such as Tahlilan, does not only use naqliyah arguments, but can be strengthened by local wisdom values as a basis for legal reference that is polite, gentle, right on target, easy to accept and apply in their lives.

In this paper we propose a method where imaginary function “V(x,y)” is used for a solution of a complex variable where the real part “U(x,y)” is unknown. A function f (z) is defined and differentiable at All points all points of “D”. The paper utilizes the following methods in finding the unknown part “Real part U(x,y)” of the analytic function f(z):”The Direct Method, Milne Thompson Method and Exact Differentiable Equation Method”. It was found that, out of the three methods used in finding “the real part” of the analytic function, Direct Method is more efficient as it yields results more faster, efficient and accurate.

Introduction: Maternal mortality remains a significant public health challenge, particularly in low-resource settings like Bangladesh, where access to quality maternal healthcare is often limited. Financial assistance programs, technological innovations, and improved healthcare access have shown promise in reducing maternal complications and mortality. This study evaluates the impact of these interventions on maternal health outcomes in Bangladesh, highlighting key factors influencing healthcare utilization and identifying strategies to enhance maternal survival. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in Maternity Center, Madhupur, Tangail, Bangladesh during the period from January 2021 to December 2022, Dhaka, Bangladesh. A total of 110 pregnant and postpartum women were included in the study. Data were analyzed using SPSS (version 25.0), with p < 0.05 considered statistically significant. Result: The study found that demographic factors such as rural residence (78.2%) and low socioeconomic status (60%) influenced maternal healthcare access in Bangladesh. While 64.5% of deliveries occurred in healthcare facilities, 35.5% still took place at home, with 72.7% attended by skilled birth attendants (SBAs). Financial assistance significantly improved maternal healthcare utilization, leading to higher rates of ANC visits (85.5% vs. 52.7%), facility-based deliveries (78.2% vs. 50.9%), and postnatal care utilization (82.7% vs. 48.2%). Technological interventions such as mHealth (35.5% reduction in complications), portable ultrasound (41.8% early detection of high-risk pregnancies), and NASG (50% reduction in PPH mortality) showed substantial benefits. Conclusion: This study highlights the impact of financial assistance, technological innovations, and healthcare facility improvements in reducing maternal mortality in Bangladesh. Women who received financial support had significantly higher utilization of antenatal, delivery, and postnatal care services, demonstrating the importance of economic interventions in maternal health.
