Antiplatelet drugs are recommended globally for long term prevention of serious vascular events in high risk patients. Temporary withdrawal of these drugs seems to be an attractive option in dental office prior to minor surgical procedures to prevent a bleeding hazard. The benefit of averting anti-platelet drug induced hemorrhage needs to be balanced against the risk of potentially fatal thrombosis that may occur due to rebound phenomenon after withdrawal of the anti-platelet drug. This in-vivo prospective study was thus designed to assess post-operative bleeding in patients on aspirin therapy after extractions. The study sample comprised of 50 patients between 50 to 75 years of age on long term aspirin therapy requiring extractions were assessed for bleeding at 30 mins, 1, 2, 3, 24 and 48 hours post operatively. Results showed 4 patients had mild bleeding at 30 mins, 2 patients at 1hour, 1 patient at 2 hours and no patients with bleeding at 3 hours. In our study we had an 8% risk of bleeding after extractions in patients on long term low dose aspirin therapy. Given the low incidence and severity of bleeding which can be easily managed by local measures only, we conclude that patients need not discontinue taking aspirin prior to dental extractions.

During the colonial period, plantation authorities in Cameroon, like elsewhere in Africa and Asia, depended on male labour and showed little or no interest in the recruitment of female labour. Over time, the incessant shortage and unstable nature of the labour force led them to reconsider the permanent engagement of women as was the case of the Tole Tea Estate. The plantation hierarchy believed rightly or wrongly that women would be docile and therefore, would not agitate against the exploitative plantation policies as opposed to their male counterparts. This was however, a gruesome miscalculation as the women soon developed a “militantic” behaviour that even surmounted that of male workers in the plantation milieu. The nature of their comportment and the manner in which they agitated for the amelioration of their working condition was sharpened by their affiliation to some Christian domination in the Tole vicinity. As such, with the help of a random survey carried out among 150 women in 2016 and with the use of a historical approach guided by both primary and secondary sources, this work argues that some Christian teachings acted as an eye opener to the women in knowing and claiming their rights. It further contends that some of the protests that the women staged against the plantation management could be attributed to their accumulated knowledge and behaviour imbued with religious feelings and actions as portrayed in protest songs, placards and other related aspects. The paper concludes that the Christian background of the women was therefore, a vehicle for dismembering the obnoxious plantation policies and forcing the authorities to act in their favour.

Index properties of soil forms part of the precondition for its use in civil engineering construction works. The neglect of it will give investors a wrong idea about the properties of the soil material. This research investigates the index properties of soils along jos-makurdi road in north central Nigeria. A trial pit was dug under four different bridges to a depth of 1m each and soil samples were collected by method of disturbed sampling and analyzed using the following tests: Moisture content test, Particle size distribution test, Atterberg limit test and Specific gravity test. All these tests were carried out according to procedure highlighted in BS1377 1990. By visual inspection Grey colours were observed of both soil sample SS1and SS2; while light brown and brownish colours were observed from SS3and SS4 respectively. The natural moisture content of the soil sample SS1, SS2, SS3 and SS4, are 6.56, 7.89. 52.52 And 54.72%. Using the unified soil classification system (USCS), the SS1 and SS2 were classified as well graded sand (SW) while SS3 as silt sand (SM) and SS4 was classified as clay sand (SC), respectively. The SS1 and SS2 were non-plastic while SS3 have liquid limit (LL) of 33.62%, plasticity index of 32.06% and linear shrinkage of 3.85%; and SS4 have liquid limit (LL) of 52.40%, plasticity index of 41.28% and linear shrinkage of 2.5%. The specific gravity (GS) obtained from the test results are 2.66, 2.65, 2.38 and 2.27, for SS1, SS2, SS3 and SS4 respectively. Based on the test results obtained from the study trial pits, SS1 and SS2 are well graded sand (SW) which is suitable for most engineering construction while silt sand (SM) and clay sand (SC) will require stabilasation or modification for possible use in engineering application. Based on these investigations, the index properties of the soil sample, SS1, SS2, SS3 and SS4 varies with the location.

Various efforts are being made to make education more qualitative. Primary education plays a very important role in quality education. Effective education is essential for quality in education, because primary education is the foundation of education. Therefore, various efforts are being made to strengthen this foundation so that education can be made more effective and quality. As part of this effort, a project was implemented by the Government of Gujarat. This was named “Gyankunj”. The purpose of which is to provide education to the children of upper primary school through the medium of educational technology as well as to provide equal education to the children of rural and urban areas.

With the rapid development of new Internet media in recent years, the Internet celebrity economy has been booming gradually.

This paper analyzes and studies the current consumption ideas of college students under the influence of the Internet celebrity economy. It also discusses the cultivation methods suitable for the current correct consumption idea of college students, and puts forward feasible solutions to the existing problems according to the investigation, so as to guide college students to establish a correct consumption idea.

This study examines the impact of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) on the work-life balance of lecturers in private universities in Nigeria. The objective was to determine the extent, to which COVID-19 affected the productivity of lecturers with reference to research and teaching output between March and October, 2020. The target population involves all academic staff of private universities in Nigeria. Purposive sampling of non-probability method was used to select eight (8) private universities in Lagos State and Federal Capital Territory Abuja while Taro Yamane formula n= N/ (1+N (e) 2) was used to calculate the number of participants in the study. A self-constructed survey was developed and distributed online through Google Forms. Descriptive statistics with frequency distribution was used to analyse the demography of participants while linear regression was used to analyse responses from the survey. Based on the results, it was discovered that COVID-19 increased the family commitment and childcare practices of lecturers. Simultaneously, it exerted pressure on the lecturer to meet-up with online class activities, project supervision and research work. It was also observed that while the workload hours significantly decreased, the pressure to teach students through online applications (i.e Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Classroom, etc) was very high with less productivity. The findings also indicate that lecturers in private universities could not effectively strike a balance between work and family during the global pandemic and therefore, were less productive especially in the areas of research and teaching output. Recommendations were made towards development of new work-life balance policies by the university management as well as retraining of lecturers in meeting up with the emerging needs of students and the university in a post COVID-19 world.

Flexibility is one of the most important pain-free joint motions that necessary in games and sports. The idea of the present study was to recognize the nature of flexibility required for the performance of basketball and suggest a set of exercises to satisfy this purpose. At first, through a literature survey, consulting experts of the field and from the experience of own contribution in the game for a pretty long period, the exact nature and need of flexibility for the game of basketball was identified. It was understood that the flexibility of the ankle, hip, shoulder, trunk, and wrist was very essential for the purpose. The twelve (12) associated muscles around the specified joints were finalized. Eventually, a set of twelve exercises was prepared as a catalogue for developing the flexibility of basketball payers.

Traumatic injury of anterior teeth is common and may lead to cyst over a period of time. Root perforation is contrived communication between root canal system and the supporting tissues of teeth or the oral cavity. Iatrogenic root perforation is a procedural mishap but quite an uncommon event, which may occur at any stage of root canal therapy, from access cavity preparation to post-space preparation, on any tooth. Perforations are reported to result in lower success rates. How they are managed can make the difference between retention and the loss of a tooth. It results in bacterial contamination, peri-radicular tissue injury, inflammation, and bone resorption. The purpose of this case report is to describe the endodontic retreatment and surgical management of a longstanding periapical lesion on maxillary central incisor, associated with perforation using mineral trioxide aggregate. MTA is bioactive material and shows good sealing activity for perforation repair and apical seal. For large periapical cyst healing PRF was used and Novabone putty was used for the healing of osseous defect.

Introduction: A much controversy exists regarding treatment of neck of femur fractures in elderly. Currently, choices available options for an Orthopaedic surgeon for treating these fractures in elderly are Canulated cancellous screw fixation, Girldstone, unipolar hemiarthroplasty, bipolar hemiarthroplasty and total hip arthroplasty. One of the most common treatments of Garden type-III & IV fracture of femoral neck in elderly in low- and middle-income countries is bipolar hemiarthroplasty. This study was conducted to evaluate functional outcome of fracture neck of femur treated with cemented bipolar hemiarthroplasty in elderly. Materials and Methods: Multicentered based non randomized quasi experimental prospective study was performed in Rajshahi Medical College Hospital, Dhaka Medical College Hospital and Spine & Orthopaedic Specialized Centre, Rajshahi, Bangladesh from January 2010 to December 2019.Total number of patients n=1156 with fracture neck of femur were operated with cemented bi-polar prosthesis of femoral component and their functional outcomes were assessed on the basis of modified Harris Hip Score. Results: At the end of 10 year after surgery, the functional results were analyzed by SPSS 18.0. All patients were in the age group of 50-85 years with mean age of 62.09 years for males and 69.42 years for females. 48% percent of the patients had sub-capital fracture radiologically, while 52% had Transcervical. In 68% of cases, the mode of injury was trivial trauma. Complications observed were superficial surgical site infection (1%), affected sided mild hip pain (15%), LLD < 1.25 cm of 0.01% and post-operative dislocation within 3 months in another patient. There were 64% excellent results, 28% good results and 8% fair results. No poor results were found in our study. Conclusions: Elderly neglected patients with displaced fracture of neck femur are able to ambulate early after Cemented bipolar hemi arthroplasty. The complication rate is very low and pre injury functional status is restored in majority of patients.

The torque will be in proportion to the crank and linkage length. That may be fitted to the stroke ratio γ well. The bigger the γ is the bigger the torque is. The crank acceleration and block angle will be low when the γ becomes big. The linkage acceleration and speed may incline as the stroke ratio and rotation is big. The movement will be big when the stroke ratio is small and the rotation is inclining on the crank linkage mechanism in vehicle

That physical education and sports for children is indisputable, this has been proven and proven by scientific achievements, they even say that, to categorize physical education and sports for children as a separate branch of sports, unlike adults, ie a branch of independent of sports science and sports system. In addition of traditional methods of education and their possibilities to realize them in practice this study aims to attract attention of educators in the new models of social education adjusting this with preschool children interests. For the realization of our study, have selected 80 children from four Tirana’s preschools city, that seems to be the bigger city, center of economic, social, administrative, culture, academic, industrial, medial of Albania, with purpose to have a big representation of all social-economics layers. The children are separated in two equal groups. Collected data, in begin, middle and in the end of tests and questionnaires were under a statistical processing by IBM SPSS package, version number 22. T- test is used to see if there are significant changes between control and experiment group skills along the tests phases. Based on results, significant changes between genders in experiment groups first phases questionnaire. Through this study we think to offer some rational solutions with movement and social character, using a variety tools that gymnastic contains accompained by some educational and entertainment methods.

The practice of restorative dentistry dates back to the 1st century AD. These restorations are done to restore form, function and esthetics. In current restorative practice, the materials to choose from are dental amalgam, composite resin (and its modifications) and glass ionomer cements (and its modifications). Dental amalgam was the material of choice for nearly two centuries. This was because it has such properties as durability, ease of placement, high compressive strength and it was cheap. It however was not esthetic and there was concern of its use due to its mercury content. Composite resin was initially only restricted to the anterior portion of the mouth and for small Class I cavities this was because though it was esthetic, it lacked strength, but with modifications, new research now shows it can be a good substitute for dental amalgam. Glass ionomer cement bonds to both enamel and dentine, it also has sustained release of fluoride which helps to remineralize tooth structure as well as prevent future caries occurrence. It can now also serve as a definitive restoration in the posterior stress bearing portion of the mouth. Although dental amalgam has been the material of choice almost two centuries, there is now a paradigm shift towards non-amalgam restorative materials. This paradigm shift has been occasioned by the need to restore tooth with materials that best match the tooth in terms of function and esthetics. The biomimetics are in as they fulfil the conditions and conserve tooth tissue.

Basketball is a popular court-based team sport that has been extensively studied over the last decade. Yoga is a physical and mental discipline that forms part of ayurvedic medicine. The purpose of the study was to find out hematological variables (RBC, WBC, and Platelets) between regular basketball players and yoga practitioners. Nine (09) subjects were randomly participated as volunteers in this study; among them (n=04) were basketball players and the rest (n=05) yoga practitioners. Blood samples were collected in the morning session (6:30 a.m. to 7:30 a.m.) with fasting. Red blood cells (counts), white blood cells (counts), and platelets (counts) were criterion measures in this study. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, mean and SD and an unpaired t-test were applied to check the level of significance (p<0.05). Statistical results indicated that the monocytes and platelets were statistically significant differences found between basketball players and yoga practitioners. There was no statistically significant difference in red blood cell, neutrophil, eosinophil, basophil, lymphocytes between the two groups. In summary, it could be said that basketball players’ monocytes and platelets blood count were higher than yoga practitioners, but red blood cell, neutrophil, eosinophil, basophil, lymphocytes blood count is closer in both groups.

Noonan syndrome is a genetic disorder characterized by facial dysmorphism and several birth defects including lymphatic abnormalities. There are familial cases and sporadic cases. In practice, it is sometimes very difficult to confirm the diagnosis, as the manifestations are variable and & quot; subtle & quot; for the non-specialist. We report the case of a patient in whom the diagnosis was made late at the age of 37 years and whose reason for consultation was an increase in abdominal volume related to chylous ascites. Chylous ascites in Noonan syndrome seems to be more frequent than expected hence the need to know how to evoke this syndrome in its presence especially since there is a typical dysmorphic picture.

This paper aims to study women’s realities and conditions through motherhood realities in Linda Pastan’s poem entitled “Marks”. Indeed thanks to the microcosm of a familial and motherhood reality, the poet Linda Pastan sheds light in general to the macrocosm of familial and motherhood reality in the whole society and further to the macrocosm of women’s realities and conditions in the society. It is like a cry from the heart of a woman which calls for anyone attention about women’s conditions and sufferings in family, in society, and further in the world. In fact, thanks to an ironic style she depicts the daily life of a mother in her own family showing the difficulties she encounters by explaining the household sufferings. This ironic depiction is indeed a kind of metaphor to denounce the ingratitude or ungratefulness on the part of the other members of the family (husband, son and daughter). When transcending the familial context described by Linda Pastan, we observe obviously that this poem is topical about women’s realities and conditions, and also that the problem of women’s conditions and sufferings is universal and a world concern. On the basis of this simple but true reality and in a thorough analysis following sociocriticism, a psychoanalytic criticism, a feminism perspective and stylistics, we will study on the one hand, motherhood realities and women’s conditions and sufferings and on the other hand, we will analyze family or people or society ingratitude toward women and the need for women recognition and emancipation.
