This research Paper represents a recent use of the extended local binary pattern for face recognition. Extended Local Binary Pattern (ELBP) Technique is more accurate and describes the texture and shape of a digital image by using of 3*3 & 5*5 matrices we have to compare the performance of both matrices so that how we recognize the image. Variance help to measure continuous output where the quantization is needed. By dividing an image into several small region from which the feature are extracted. If match is found then image face is recognized otherwise if match does not found then image face is not recognized. If we saw at the mirror we can see that our face has different type of human expression. These are the peak and valley that make up the different facial features.

Background: Upper lumbar disc herniation (ULDH), affecting the L1–L2 and L2–L3 levels, is relatively uncommon but often presents with atypical symptoms, making diagnosis and treatment challenging. Given its proximity to the conus medullaris and the narrower spinal canal in the upper lumbar region, even small disc herniations can produce significant neurological deficits. Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the clinical characteristics, surgical management, and outcomes of patients with ULDH treated at a tertiary care hospital in Bangladesh. Method: A retrospective review was conducted on 100 patients diagnosed with ULDH and treated surgically at a Tertiary Medical College Hospital in Bangladesh from January 2020 to December 2020. Patient data including demographics, presenting symptoms, radiological findings, surgical technique, and postoperative outcomes were analyzed. All patients underwent microdiscectomy or laminectomy based on clinical and radiological findings. Follow-up was conducted for six months postoperatively. Results: The mean age was 52.4 ± 11.6 years, with a male predominance (61%). Most patients presented with anterior thigh pain (78%), lower limb weakness (42%), and bladder dysfunction (12%). The most common disc level affected was L2–L3 (67%). Microdiscectomy yielded better recovery in patients with isolated disc herniation, while laminectomy was used for calcified or migrated discs. Significant improvement in VAS and ODI scores was noted postoperatively (p < 0.001). Only 5% of patients developed complications such as dural tear or superficial wound infection. Conclusion: ULDH, though rare, presents unique diagnostic and surgical challenges. Early surgical intervention tailored to the disc pathology results in favorable neurological and functional outcomes. Recognizing its atypical symptoms and imaging findings is crucial for timely and effective treatment.

Diabetes mellitus is defined as a group of chronic metabolic diseases that are characterized by chronic hyperglycemia and other related metabolic disturbances. It is caused either by relative/absolute insulin deficiency or cellular resistance to insulin action, or both. Due to delay in the diagnosis process, and fear of the disease and its investigative procedure by some patients, diabetes mellitus has become the major cause of death. The most commonly employed investigative procedure to diagnose diabetes mellitus and controlling glycemia is blood investigation. Unfortunately, the procedure is invasive, painful, and may cause discomfort to patients due to the need for frequent testing. Consequently, a noninvasive, much simpler, and painless procedure is very desirable. Saliva represents an attractive alternative sample and offers a distinct advantage as it can be collected noninvasively and easily without special skill, and is low cost. The present review has found more studies with a positive correlation between blood and salivary glucose concentrations than those with a negative correlation. The difference between these studies' findings may be attributed to the difference in study population and criteria of selection, samples (saliva and blood) collecting methods, analyzing methods, and influencing factors that should be considered before the test.

Background: Gender inequality in the nursing workforce is still a big issue, especially in rural areas such as Osmanabad, Maharashtra. Even though nursing is a profession dominated by women, women are still confronting systemic obstacles to leadership, to pay equity, and to a safe workplace. These differences are exacerbated by cultural standards, restricted institutional assistance, and a lack of resources in rural health care facilities. Objectives: Considering the background, this study is planned to look into the magnitude of gender inequality of nurses in the district of Osmanabad. More specifically, these aims will: identify gender differences in recruiting, role assignment, and career advancement; measure acts of violence and the effect of perceptions of unsafe work settings; provide practical strategies to move toward gender equity within rural nursing. Methods: The present study was conducted using a mixed methods approach with both quantitative and qualitative data generation. Stratified purposive sampling was employed to select a sample of 60 registered nurses working at PHCs, CHCs, and the District Hospital, Osmanabad. Information was collected using questionnaires, semi-structured interviews, and focus group discussions. The quantitative data were processed with SPSS, and the qualitative data were subjected to thematic analysis. Results: Female nurses were predominantly represented, although not in leadership roles, and female nurses were significantly underpaid compared with their male colleagues. Women experienced workplace violence more often compared to night shifts. Emotional exhaustion, professional inertia, and a wish for change were depicted in qualitative accounts. Conclusions: Sex disparities in the nursing workforce existed in Osmanabad and are indicative of wider systemic imbalances in rural health care. Overcoming these inequalities through enabling policies, mentorship programs, and community engagement is crucial in strengthening nursing and healthcare. The report highlights the requirement for gender transformative interventions suitable for rural areas.

Granulomatosis with polyangiitis is a rare disorder characterized by the necrotizing granulomatous lesions of both the upper and lower respiratory tract and glomerulonephritis. Rapidly progressive renal failure in GPA is not an uncommon presentation and always requires urgent intervention. A 25-year-old male patient who presented with fever, hematuria, hemoptysis, and decreased urine output with an abnormal renal function was found to have high titers of anti-PR3 antibody on evaluation. His prolonged hematuria followed by an anuric state during the hospital stay improved with multiple sessions of hemodialysis, and then he was started on immunosuppressive therapy with resolution of fever based on high clinical suspicion. A dramatic improvement of ongoing gross hematuria and hemoptysis was noted following a week of immunosuppression. Progression of GPA can be prevented by early diagnosis and initiation of treatment.

Introduction: Mortality from cervical cancer remains very high in Mali. The insufficient early detection of cervical cancer means that this disease still kills many women in our country and is a public health problem at the cost. The objective was to determine the place of visual tests, visual inspection after application of acetic acid (IVA) and lugol solution (IVL) in the context of the prevention and fight against cervical cancer at the level of the service. of gynecology at the Mali hospital in Bamako. Material and Methods: We carried out an exhaustive descriptive retrospective study over three (3) years between 2018 and 2019, including 2351 women who participated in the voluntary and free screening of precancerous lesions of the cervix at the level of the gynecology department at the Mali hospital. Results: IVA was positive in 4.8% of cases versus IVL positive in 5.2% of cases. The mean age of women was 38.66 ± 9.83 years. Out-of-school women were the most affected by the disease 80% of cases. The frequency of low-grade dysplasia, moderate dysplasia and high-grade dysplasia was 1.5%, respectively; 1.4%; 1.3%. The overall frequency of precancerous cervical lesions was 4.2%. Conclusion: Early detection of cervical cancer by IVA / IVL visual tests is an effective means of preventing and combating cervical cancer. Awareness should be intensified among the illiterate rural population in order to minimize the incidence of this disease in our country.

This study investigated the histological and biochemical effects of G. kola and T.conophorum extracts, in diabetic Wistar rats. Phytochemical and LD50 of the extracts were determined. Thirty-six (36) adult male Wistar rats weighing 180 – 200 g were divided into 6 groups (n =6). Group 1 served as normal control, group 2 served as diabetic control while groups 3 – 6 were diabetic rats treated with glibenclamide (5 mg/kg body weight (bw)), G. kola (548 mg/kg bw), T. conophorum (524 mg/kg bw) and combined (G. kola and T. conophorum) respectively. At the end of the experiment, the animals were anaesthesized and with cardiac puncture, blood was obtained for biochemical studies while the kidneys were harvested for the histological analysis. Glibenclamide significantly (p < 0.05) reduced FBG from 22.10 ± 1.65 mmol/L to 4.48 ± 0.29 mmol/L, G. kola from 22.04 ± 4.06 mmol/L to 7.40 ± 2.41 mmol/L, T. conophorum from 14.26 ± 2.38 mmol/L to 5.98 ± 0.57 mmol/L, and combined from 17.54 ± 1.72 mmol/L to 11.58 ± 2.11 mmol/L. G. kola significantly (p < 0.05) lowered the urea and raised the chloride and creatinine levels. T. conophorum significantly (p < 0.05) reduced the urea and increased the sodium and chloride levels, while the combined treatment significantly lowered the urea and raised the sodium levels. The plant extracts significantly attenuated the alterations in the kidneys. It may be concluded that the combined administration of G. kola and T. conophorum extracts and their single treatments showed hypoglycaemic and nephroprotective effects.
