Azanzagarckeana known as Kola of Tula is one of the vulnerable medicinal plant of Tula people in Gombe state, North Eastern Nigeria and are usually collected from the wild. In the present study the photochemical analysis and the antimicrobial activity of the extracts of the steam bark of the plant were investigated. Methanol ethanol, acetone, petroleum ether and water were used as the extrants. Serial extraction using Soxhlet apparatus was used. The result of the study shows that the water extract indicate the presence of carbohydrate and flavonoid in appreciable amount, while the methanol extract showed the presence of flavonoid, cardiacglycoside and alkaloid in an appreciable amount. Tannins, phlobatannin, flavonoid, quinoline alkaloid were detected in the acetone extracts while saponnin and haemolytic activity were seen in appreciable quantities in the ethyl acetate extracts. The petroleum ether extract showed only steroid in an appreciable quantity. Antimicrobial activity was carried out using Disc diffusion method. Nine microorganisms; S. aureus, salmonella typi, E. coli, K. pneumonia, Klebsiella ssp, P. aeroginosa, Shigella dysentriae, Bacllus subtilis and Nissera gonorriea was used for the antimicrobial test. Ampiclox was used as standard reference drug. The antimicrobial activity of the extracts showed that the ethyl acetate extract had the best antimicrobial activities by inhibiting the growth of eight of the test organisms. The methanol and acetone extract inhibited the growth of four microorganisms whereas the water extract inhibited the growth of three organisms. The petroleum ether was the least active extract because it inhibited the growth of only one organism. E. coli, S. aureus and salmonella typhi were the most sensitive organisms because they were susceptible to three organisms each.

Purpose: Quality of the service and effectiveness of service operations system are considered as important aspects of achieving the customers' satisfaction of any service organization. The goal of this research is to see how the quality of inland transportation services affects passenger happiness. The research was exploratory in nature, and factor analysis was utilized to determine the most important elements influencing passenger satisfaction with service quality. Passengers will be disappointed to learn that there is no canteen available. The rest of the launch terminal is in good shape. We also made some suggestions for improvements that would boost passenger happiness. Research methodology: SEM methodology has been extensively employed in research to study the causal links. SEM methodology has grown increasingly common in-service quality measurement study. It is hypothesized that socio-economic as well as launch service factors affect the maritime passenger vessel SQ. Results: This study makes empirical contributions to hospitality and tourism marketing literature especially in the way the ferry service can be upgraded. The results obtained via the definition of fuzzy number and linguistic level together with their membership functions as methods to measure service quality. The results also help the ferry company to better understand how the customers view their services. Limitations: During the data collection phase of this study, some unanticipated issues arose, causing the study to be postponed. The following are some of the issues: The personnel at the launch terminal were not particularly cooperative. Passengers and employees were uncooperative when it came to replying. Due to a time constraint, data for a single day was obtained; nevertheless, for an accurate data result, data for the entire year must be obtained. Contribution: The findings of this investigation will contribute to a better understanding of Launch SQ. The most crucial aspect is that it connects passenger demand to Launch SQ. Individual observations are used to generate the results in this thesis. The identification of key SQ variables that influence overall SQ can surely aid in improving SQ with low resources. The analysis yielded the following recommendations.

Introduction: Surgical attachment of displaced patella fractures is now the international standard treatment. The non-absorbed braided suture fixation group's study goal is to measure clinical, radiological, and functional findings as well as to detect complications of patellar fractures. As a control group, these patients were compared to those who had mid-substance fractures and were treated with K-wire or canceled tension strip wiring. Methods: From January 2018 to December 2020, a multicenter nonrandomized quasi-experimental prospective study was conducted in Rajshahi Medical College Hospital and Sador Hospitals in Rajshahi Division (Joypurhat & Sirajganj) Bangladesh. The total number of patients was n=108 The mean age was 36.28 years ranging from 20 to 60 years. All patients are treated with delayed absorbable suture wiring without using hardwiring of the fractured patella. The outcome was assessed by the Böstman scoring system. All demographic data including injury and surgical data were also documented. In all of the patients, non-absorbable sutures were twisted through the patellar tender and drilled to decrease and fracture the patella. Results: A total of 108 individual patients with patella fracture were treated prospectively over 2 years. 78 patients were male. The male-female ratio was 2.6: 1. Their mean age was 36.28 years ranging from 20 to 60 years. 57 (52.78%) patients were injured at right and 51 (47.22%) affected on the left side. The mean injury surgery interval was 2.0 days ranging from 2-8 days and their mean hospital stay was 4 days. We have found all patients in our schedule follow-up system and most of the patient's 103 (96.14%) knee ROM were 120 degree. Only 5 (3.86%) patients' Knee ROM found 90-120 degree. Most of the Patient 103 (96.14%) had come back to their daily works. Our assessment was done with the Böstman scoring system and we have found satisfactory results (Excellent and good) 103 (96.14%) patients and unsatisfactory (fair and poor) results 5 (3.86%). Only 2 (1.85%) patients had SSI out of them one patient was needed revision surgery and their result was unsatisfactory. Conclusions: In individuals who sustain lower polar patella fractures, fraction fixation options are limited. Suture repair that is clinically acceptable and produces results that are comparable to metal implant patella fractures. Suture repair patients appear to have fewer postoperative hardware-related problems than those who have midsole fracture wire fixation.

Currently, forensic crime scene investigators face challenges because of the diplomatic acts of the offenders. The actors are very cautious in leaving their evidence during crime operations and depositing their statements during interrogations. Researchers have shown that the investigators need to have the basic knowledge in science, engineering, and medicine fitted for legal or public argumentation. The major impediment to an investigation is the loss or removal of a piece/pieces of evidence from the crime scene. The reason is that human traffic at a crime scene is likely for items to move, misplace, or steal. Only a knowledgeable investigator can handle such critical situations efficiently and conclude the presentation in the legal system. The present case report is an example of such scenario wherein four persons were admitted to a government hospital with explosion injuries, investigated in Tamilnadu, India. They had alleged that when they were walking in an agricultural agricultural land, four persons (as named by the injured) had thrown bombs on them hidden behind a haystack. A case was registered u/s attempted murder and explosives act, and the named four persons from the village were brought to the police station for further investigation. Immediately many villagers have assembled near the police station and demanded the release of these four persons from the police custody since they were innocents and not at all committed the offense. The District Superintendent of Police directed the forensic crime scene investigator (CSI), the corresponding author (hereafter as TN), to assist the police investigation. Accordingly, the CSI immediately rushed first to the hospital with the Superintendent of Police and observed the injured and inquired them and the medical doctor who treated them and recorded their statements. TN then visited the alleged bomb blasting area and no possibility of explosion observed in the said site and finally opined that the allegation of bomb thrown on the wounded was false. The author uncovered the perplexed act of wounded forensically and the police arrested the wounded for crime act concealment and treated under police custody. Later the wounded were prosecuted and finally sentenced by the Honourable Judge, accepted the forensic findings.

Different methods are used for the introduction of foreign DNA in the genome of a plant. These processes includes the biological methods which are based on pathogenic bacteria A. rhizogenes and A. fumefaciens, or the chemical and physical coordination’s like microprojectile-bombardment, micro-injection, chemical poration and electroporation. The bacterial transformation is the straight gene transferring mechanism through which the some of the bacteria intake the foreign DNA from environment. The protoplasts of plant treated with the polyethylene glycol take up the DNA more rapidly from the surrounding, and this DNA can be integrated stably in to plant chromosomal DNA. Biolistics contains acceleration of higher mass transporter elements (commonly made up of tungsten, gold or platinum) roofed with the genes which passed through cells, separating the DNA inside by the adsorption method. SiC whiskers are like a needle having a size of 20μm in length. These whiskers helps in penetrating the plasma membrane and cell wall of targeted cell for transferring the wanted DNA and hence, the transformants are attained.

10.36348/sjm.2021.v06i06.006
Tooth brushing using toothpaste and the toothbrush remains the most common mouth cleaning method. Many dentists recommend the use of a fluoride-containing toothpaste twice daily when tooth brushing. This process retains food debris, blood, crevicular fluid, saliva, phlegm and toothpaste residues in between the bristles of the toothbrush if not thoroughly cleaned after use. These can potentially infect traumatic injuries caused by toothbrushes in the mouth and also re-infect immunocompromised persons after recovery from some illnesses or other persons when toothbrushes are shared or improperly stored. Household vectors attracted to toothpaste residues on toothbrushes can potentially infect such toothbrushes with non-endemic strains of microorganisms as well. With hundreds of millions of people around the world projected to join the class of the extremely poor by 2021 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, one popular professional recommendation for toothbrush hygiene- replacement every 3 or 4 months- is increasingly likely to be ignored. This paper recommends additional, cost-effective, universally adaptable ways of improving toothbrush hygiene for the removal of toothpaste residues after tooth brushing.

Objectives: This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of 4% articaine hydrochloride and 2% lignocaine hydrochloride in impacted mandibular third molar surgery. Materials and Methods: Sixty subjects randomly received either the 4% articaine injection (Group 1) or 2% lignocaine injection (Group 2) with 1: 200000 adrenaline via a pterygomandibular nerve block. The onset of the action of anesthesia, pulpal anaesthesia and its quality during the surgery, duration of anesthesia, duration of the surgery, the total volume of the anesthetic solution, hemodynamic statistics and pain levels were recorded. Results: The mean onset of anesthesia was significantly shorter in Group 1 (4.243 minutes) as compared to Group 2 (4.398 minutes). Onset of pulpal anesthesia was significantly shorter, with values as 4.287 ± 0.335 mins (Group 1) and 5.215 ± 0.3157 mins (Group 2). The duration of anesthetic effect in Group 1 was 3 hours (14.60 ± 9.76 mins), significantly higher than lignocaine -2 hours 43.33 mins (163.33 +-11.97 minutes). The duration of the procedure was marginally higher in Group 1- 41.67 ± 20.14mins; Group 2- 39.30 ±18.54mins. There was a statistically significant difference (P < 0.05) between qualities of anesthesia with pain scores lower in Group 1 as compared to Group 2. Articaine was found to have better cardiovascular stability than lignocaine. Conclusion: 4% articaine hydrochloride with 1:200000 adrenaline is more effective than 2% lignocaine hydrochloride with 1:200000 adrenalines in impacted mandibular third molar surgery in terms of onset, quality of anesthesia and hemodynamic parameters.

Objective: In this study was designed to see the risk factors of UTI in pregnant women and the maternal and perinatal outcome. Methods: In this case control study, women enrolled in antenatal OPD of North East Medical College and Hospital, Sylhet, during July 2020 to December 2020, were randomly allocated into case and control group. The inclusion criteria for pregnant women during the 13th - 26th weeks of pregnancy in the case group was the positive urine cultures of bacteria (more than 10 5 colonies growth in a standard positive urine culture). The same with negative culture was control group. Then parameters such as parity, sexual activity, type of delivery, and infants' birth weight were recorded in questionnaire. Results: Incidence of UTI in mid trimester pregnancy during study period was 26%. Risk factors like previous history of UTI, sexual activity and multipara were higher in case group. Highest age incidence was between 20-30 years. Predominantly patients were asymptomatic. Lower abdominal pain was a common symptom. Eshcherichia coli was commonest organism. Prevalence of bacteriuria was more in women with history of UTI earlier in pregnancy. Premature rupture of membrane was significantly higher in case group. Caesarean section was higher in the case group. According to this study, the average weight of newborns whose mothers had UTI was 2.83 kg and it was 0.44 kg lower than the newborns of healthy mothers. Conclusion: According to the conducted study, UTI in mothers is the major reason for comparatively lower birth weight of infants. Routine urine check during pregnancy is helpful in diagnosing this early and fast care. For better results, more analysis is required.

The availability of sufficient green open space (RTH) is one of the efforts to maintain the optimal quality of environmental functions. The management of green open space (RTH) is still reaping many problems in urban areas. The management of this green open space needs attention and the role of many parties. The arrangement of green open space needs to consider residential areas, public and social facilities, as well as green open space for the public. RTH facilities have started to break down, paint is peeling or dull, lighting is inadequate, and it is often misused towards negative behavior. This research was conducted to answer how to optimize the management of green open space in Banjarbaru City. The research method used is descriptive qualitative research. The research was conducted in the Banjarbaru City Public Green Open Space area that did not meet the minimum requirements of 30% of the city area. Data obtained from interviews, observations, and supporting references. The analysis includes data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and interactive conclusion making. It was concluded that Banjarbaru's green open space management planning was packaged into the "Smart Green City for Banjarbaru" planning model or called the Green City. Planning and management is carried out by two leading sectors, namely the Public Works and Spatial Planning Service (PUPR); and the Department of Housing and Settlements (Disperkim). Planning has also involved the Banjarbaru City Environmental Service.

Introduction: Grinspan syndrome is a triad of erosive form of oral lichen planus (OLP), diabetes mellitus (DM) and arterial hypertension. The objective of present study is to evaluate the oral health and oral symptoms in patients with Grinspan’s syndrome and also an emphasis on evaluating the level of awareness about oral health in patients of this disease complex. Methods: The study subjects with Grinspan’s syndrome are included in the study while the rest were excluded along with those who are on medications for other conditions. A self-administered structured questionnaire is used as the survey instrument. After collecting all the responses from patients, it is analyzed statistically using IBM SPSS® Software (21.v). Results: The most common oral symptom found in Grinspan’s syndrome is Glossodynia (92.1%). The high arched palate (35.6%) and temporomandibular joint disorders (35.6%) are least associated with this syndrome. Glossodynia was most prevalent (91.4% and 93% respectively) and their association with gender was highly significant (p value<.001) however the association of all other oral symptoms with gender was statistically non significant (P>.001). Among the different age groups, the presentation of oral symptoms was highly variable but the association between oral symptoms and age group was statistically highly significant (P<.001). Conclusions: Glossodynia is the most common oral symptom found in Grinspan’s syndrome whereas high arched palate and temporomandibular joint disorders (35.6%) are the least associated with this syndrome, in our study. The presentation of oral symptoms depends on and varies according to the age group of patients.
