The development and growth of any emerging economy rests on the shoulders of the youth of that nation. The countries in various parts of the world are experiencing alarming rate of drop-outs of students from the education system. It is of paramount importance that the reasons are identified and addressed. This is of greater importance to the various economies in the Middle East and GCC who aim to diversify by creating a knowledge economy. This paper attempts to identify the macro and the micro perspectives behind student drop-outs from the tertiary education and endeavors to suggest some intervention strategies to address this phenomenon. The methodology involved collection and analysis of the secondary data available followed by a qualitative research at a private educational institution in Oman. The findings were analyzed using Gilbert’s Behavioral Engineering Model. The results indicate that personal, academic and financial reasons contribute to the majority of student dropouts. These can be effectively detected, measured and addressed by putting in place proper institution-wide systems and partnerships and by offering contextually relevant academic and student support services.

Background: Genital Tuberculosis is one of the leading causes of infertility in Bangladesh which is a high tuberculosis burden country. As the patients are mostly asymptomatic and diagnostic tests have low sensitivity and specificity, diagnosis of genital tuberculosis is very much challenging. The aim of this study is to evaluate the patients of genital tuberculosis diagnosed at laparoscopy. Methods: A retrospective study was performed on 12 patients who underwent laparoscopy and hysteroscopy. Cases were analyzed according to history, relevant pre surgery investigation findings, laparoscopic and hysteroscopic findings, histopathology, MTB PCR and Acid-Fast Bacillus (AFB) tests reports. Results: Mean age 25 years, range (22 -33), ten (83.3%) with primary subfertility and two (16.6%) with secondary subfertility. Two had secondary amenorrhea, two women presented with scanty menstrual flow and seven women with regular cycle with average flow and duration. Two (16.6%) had previously completed treatment for pulmonary tuberculosis, 4(33.3%) had history of exposure to tuberculosis patient. Hysterosalpingography showed eleven (91.6%) cases with bilateral tubal block, one (8.3%) with only left tubal block. At laparoscopy all women had tubal involvement, ovarian involvement in 6(50%), frozen pelvis or dense pelvic adhesion in one. At hysteroscopy 11 (91.6%) cases had intrauterine adhesion. Histopathology of endometrial tissue revealed tubercular granuloma in two (16.6%) cases; MTB PCR was detected in 6(50%) cases and acid-fast bacillus was negative in all cases. Conclusions: Laparoscopic and hysteroscopic findings are more suggestive than history, microscopic, histopathological and molecular examination of endometrial tissue in diagnosing genital tuberculosis in infertile women.

Obstructive sleep apnoea is a disorder leading to repetitive collapse of pharyngeal airway while sleeping. This causes desaturation of oxygen, low oxygen levels in blood and disturbed sleep. The symptoms include snoring, apnoeas, choking sensation, and sleepiness. The pathogenesis of sleep apnoea could be anatomical issue with upper airway, central respiratory control system issues, muscular factors with improper neuromuscular control of the dilator muscles of upper airway. Continuous positive airway pressure, bi-level positive airway pressure, auto-titration airway pressure can be used for management of sleep apnoea. Other treatments include dental devices, surgery, and weight loss.

The Silver Catfish Chrysichthys nigrodigitatus from the hydrosystem Lake Togo-Lagoon of Aného contributes to the socio-economic well-being and food security of local populations. However, this ecosystem is known to be threatened by trace elements contamination. This study aims to assess the human health risk associated with exposure to trace elements via the consumption of Silver Catfish. The study method followed four main steps as described by USEPA after measuring trace element concentrations in C. nigrodigitatus tissues. The results showed that some values greater than 1 were obtained in the dry season, for As in adults (THQ = 1.17) and children (THQ = 1.80) and for Cr in children (THQ = 1.11) and in the rainy season for As in children (THQ = 1.36). Regarding the consumption of whole fish organs analyzed, the THQ recorded in the dry season for Cd, Pb, Cr and As in adults and children and for Hg in children are all greater than 1. In addition, in the rainy season, the THQ obtained for Cd and As in adults and Cd, Pb, Cr, Hg and As in children, are also greater than 1. The total target hazard quotient (TTHQ) are all greater than 1 for muscles and for all the combined fish organs studied. The CR values of Cr and As obtained in the muscles and the combined fish organs are all unacceptable (CR > 10-4) in both adults and children during both seasons. Children are more exposed than adults and the consumption of all the organs studied is found to be more dangerous than muscles alone. Therefore, the consumption of vital fish organs such as gills, kidneys and liver should be avoided since they are the favorite sites for most pollutant concentration.

This paper deals with triple challenges confronted by Guinea- Conakry versus the Western Capitalist and Eastern Communist Struggles in the context of colonial and neo-colonial interests in a strategic African country with full accessibilities in the Atlantic Ocean. The principle actors in such an exploitative operations includes the British, French, Americans and the Soviet Union. In fact, lucrative commercial activities conducted in this region of West Africa acted as one of the most important factor which attracted Whites immigrants into the country which later witnessed serious challenges in the hands of French diplomatic agents in the wake of African Nationalism and the desired for self-determination whose independence was declared by its famous political elite known as Sékou Touré in 1958 as the first President of the Republic of Guinea. This was not the end of Western manipulation and hiding operations in the peak of the Cold War conflicts with targeted interests which once more set the new leader into mixing Capitalist-Communist ideologies while gaining much international recognition as one of African despot until his death in 1984.The scrutiny of specialized sources and government documents online pertaining to those challenges enable us to use a historical analytical approach to come out with our findings. That the geo-strategic and geo-political position of the country and its natural resources kept both camps in the Cold War busy to make their presence felt by the 26 year pioneer President after the pre-mature departure of the French colonial agents with the famous “No” of Touré.

Panoramic radiographs are the first and most efficient method, used to examine and evaluate the heights of residual alveolar ridges of edentulous patients. After tooth extraction, wound healing of the extraction socket is associated with modeling processes leading to dimensional alterations of the residual ridge. Besides, alterations in the size and shape of the jawbones have been observed to occur throughout adult life and it continues further. Most of the bone loss occurs in the early stage of the atrophic process. The rate and the amount of bone loss may be influenced by various factors such as gender, hormones, metabolism, and parafunction. This study aimed to determine and compare differences in the vertical measurements of jawbones in both edentulous and dentate subjects. The study sample included the diagnostic panoramic radiographs of 53 randomly selected edentulous and dentate patients without systemic diseases affecting bone. -The radiographic selection criteria included the absence of obvious facial asymmetry, clearly visible anatomic structure, neither surgical nor fracture history. -The sample was divided into 3 groups: Groupe1: 29 edentulous patients Groupe2: 14 edentulous upper maxilla patients Groupe 3: 10 mandibular edentulous patients The height of the residual bone was measured at 18 predetermined sites. Results: The differences between elderly men and women in percentages of reductions in heights of the maxilla were not significant. The reduction of the anterior ridge height was greater in the maxilla than in the mandible for both sexes. Moreover, we found a significant correlation between age and bone height in both genders. Conclusion: The outcomes in the present study would contribute to better understanding of RRR in dentate and edentulous subjects.

Fibrous epulis or peripheral fibroma and ossifying fibrous epulis or Peripheral Ossifying Fibroma (POF) belong to reactive fibrous overgrowth gingiva results from a long-standing chronic local irritation. They resemble clinically similar but with different histological and radiological presentations.

Introduction: Induction of labor is an artificial initiation of uterine activity before the spontaneous onset of labor with the aim of achieving vaginal delivery. To assess the effectiveness of extra amniotic saline infusion and prostaglandin E2 gel for induction of labour. Methods: A randomized, comparative study was conducted in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Ayaan Institute of Medical Sciences over a period of 6 month. 260 patients at term with a Bishop's score ≤5 with various indications for induction were randomly allocated to group E (extra amniotic normal saline) and group P (PGE2 gel) with 130 women included in each group. Results: 61.5% of Primi delivered within 12 hrs in the extra amniotic saline infusion group compared to only 44.4% in the PGE2 gel group. 96% of Multi delivered within 12 hrs in extra amniotic saline infusion group compared to only 55.6% in the PGE2 gel. The mean Induction delivery interval in Primi with Extra amniotic saline infusion was 12.34 hrs. The mean Induction to delivery interval in Primi with PGE2 gel was 14.43 hrs. The mean Induction to delivery interval in Multi with Extra amniotic saline infusion was 10.54 hrs. The mean Induction to delivery interval in Multi with PGE2 gel was 13.64 hrs. The difference between the two group is statistically significant. Conclusions: Cervical ripening was more effective in the Extra amniotic saline infusion group when compared to PGE2 group. Oxytocin usage was lower in the Extra amniotic saline infusion group when compared to PGE2 gel group.

Purpose: The aim of the study was to analyse the frequency of consuming selected groups of food products among Polish handball players depending on their sports experience and level of generalised self-efficacy. Methods: The research was conducted among a group of 142 men aged 20-36, using an author-designed questionnaire regarding the frequency of consuming selected food groups and the Generalised Sense of Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES). Statistical analysis of the results was carried by estimating Spearman's signed rank correlation coefficients. Results: The examined handball players usually included the following in their diet: vegetables and fruits, and several times a week: refined and whole grain cereal products, milk and dairy products, eggs, poultry and pork meat, processed meats, sweets and confectionery products. Typically, once a week, they ate: sea fish, vegetable oils, nuts, fast food products, and sweetened carbonated beverages. It was shown that along with the experience in competition, the consumption of fruit and vegetables (p=0.045) and vegetable oils (p<0.001) increased, while consuming eggs (p<0.001) and fast food products became less frequent (p=0.001). A positive correlation was also found between the level of self-efficacy and the frequency of consuming vegetables (p<0.001) as well as milk and dairy products (p=0.004), and a negative correlation with the frequency of consuming eggs (p=0.049) and alcoholic beverages (p=0.007). Conclusions: In the studied group of Polish handball players, nutritional errors related to the low frequency of consuming whole grain cereals, dairy products and nuts, as well as a tendency towards more rational nutritional choices along with longer professional experience and a more intense sense of self-efficacy, were demonstrated.
