This study examines the relationship between the financial sector and economic growth for the United Arab Emirates, which is presently the most successfully diversified economy among the six Gulf Cooperation Council Countries (commonly referred as the GCC). The time period covered for this purpose is from 1975 to 2016. Since the present study deals with time series analysis, various time series techniques were employed to examine the relationship between financial sector and economic growth. The Augmented Dickey Fuller (ADF) unit root test was employed to check the variables stationarity, followed by lag length criteria test to define optimal lag length and proceed with the cointegration test. Finally, Vector Error Correction Model test (VECM) and Granger Causality test were employed to determine the relationship by using domestic credit to private sector, broad money (M2) and FDI as proxy variables to measure financial development, and GDP per capita (constant 2010 US$) as proxy variable for measuring economic growth. The results obtained from the analysis revealed that broad money and private sector credit play a crucial role in the development of the financial sector in the UAE.

Background: Eclampsia is commonly defined as new onset of grand mal seizure activity and/or unexplained coma during pregnancy or postpartum in a woman with signs or symptoms of pre-eclampsia. Objective: The objective of this study was to assess the maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality in eclampsia by early termination of pregnancy. Methodology and Materials: It was a descriptive observational study conducted in the Department of Gynecology & Obstetrics, Uttara Adhunik Medical College and Hospital, Dhaka, Bangladesh during the period from January 2017 to December 2019. In total 188 pregnant women admitted to the mentioned hospital with antepartum eclampsia were finalized as the study population. This study was approved by the ethical committee of the same hospital. Between the age group, maternal and perinatal outcomes were compared. Data were analyzed using statistical methods with SPSS version 22. Results: In this study 7(9.86%) maternal deaths had occurred among 71 vaginal deliveries. 6(5.36%) maternal deaths had occurred among 112 caesarean deliveries. Besides these, 5 cases were undelivered which all were maternal death. Among 188 cases total of 18(9.57%) maternal deaths had occurred. We did not find any significant correlation between the total number and modes of deliveries of maternal deaths (P=0.581). Among 71 vaginal deliveries, 10(14.08%) stillbirths and 28(39.44%) neonatal deaths occurred respectively; that is why in total 38(53.52%) perinatal deaths occurred against total 71 vaginal deliveries. Among 112 caesarean deliveries, 3(2.68%) stillbirths and 10(8.93%) neonatal deaths occurred respectively; that is why in total 13(11.61%) perinatal deaths occurred against total 112 caesarean deliveries. Besides these, perinatal deaths were counted as stillbirths which were 5 in number. In this study in total 56(29.79%) perinatal deaths occurred of total study people. Conclusion: In pregnant women with eclampsia frequency of caesarian delivery is near about two times than vaginal delivery. But the maternal mortality in caesarian delivery of pregnant women with eclampsia is near about half of that in vaginal delivery. In such cases, perinatal mortality is about one-fifth in caesarian delivery than that of vaginal delivery.

The present article is devoted to the study of “S” in modern English grammar. It examines the behavior of this operator in the English language. Thus, the study shows that this marker plays a very important role in the functioning of this English language. Its origin and status have created a lot debates around the linguistic and grammar fields. Though there have been some studies on its history, many speculations on its origin have been based on inferences from synchronic variation. In addition, focusing on its function and position towards the verb or the noun we have pointed out “S” can be used as verbal agreement marker or as noun agreement marker. In so doing, the role it plays, as a verbal marker is totally different from the one its plays as noun marker. But this current study is focused on its status as a verbal agreement marker.

Background: Peripheral blood plasmacytosis can be seen in plasma cell leukemia (PCL) or plasma cell myeloma (PCM). As plasma cells show dysplasia or lymphocytoid morphology, they masquerade as monocytes or high fluorescent lymphocytes (HFL) on automated cell analyzer. The early suspicion and detection are of clinical importance for diagnostic and prognostic reasons. Methods: Automated cell analyzer was used for routine CBC examination. Peripheral blood smear examination was performed for enumeration and characterization of cells in peripheral blood followed by bone marrow examination and ancillary techniques. Conclusion: Lymphocyte-Monocyte peak with increased high HFL count on CBC should prompt a smear examination of the peripheral blood for circulating plasma cells and immunohistochemistry markers like CD38, CD138, CD56 should be used to establish the clonality in cells.

The purpose of the present study was to determine the working length using electronic apex locator in various intracanal mediums and cone beam computed tomography scan and to compare the lengths with the actual length of the tooth. Methods: In an in vitro setting, a total of 45 primary molar roots were decoronated till the cemento enamel junction for standardization, working length was measured with the Apex DSP (Septodont, France) at the ‘apex’ in presence of three different irrigating solutions namely 0.9 % saline, 0.2 % chlorhexidine and 2.5 % sodium hypochlorite. The radiological working length was then calculated with cone beam computed tomography scans. The collected data was analyzed using descriptive statistics. Independent‘t’ test was done to compare the working length between the groups. Results: Findings showed there was significant difference in working length determination using apex locator in presence of saline and chlorhexidine when compared to sodium hypochlorite. Also working length determination with cone beam computed tomography compared to actual length did not show any significant difference. Conclusion: Apex DSP can be considered to be accurate across a variety of irrigants commonly used in the pediatric endodontic practice. A CBCT scan can be used as a diagnostic tool for pulpal treatment when treating multiple carious lesions.

Women violence is a deeply rooted problem that exists in every country of the globe. For the most part; nevertheless, the international community has yet to create operational legal standards that will exclusively address the problems and intricacies experienced by women via domestic violence. Notwithstanding this unfortunate emptiness, the rights of battered women may be asserted under international and regional Human Rights Conventions that are legally binding upon ratifying States. This article articulates that the cankerworm of domestic violence though hypocritically and pretentiously combatted by the government of Cameroon through its various legal dispositions, has still, and continues to be considered by many as a silent or noiseless crime affecting the status of women. Women in the generic sense of the word, continue to be victims of domestic violence. This state of affairs has evidently posed negative implications on their various rights and integrity. The government of Cameroon has failed in respecting the international prescription and commitments in respecting the fundamental rights of women as their violation and abuses continue to be on the rise.

Background: Helicobacter pylori infection of the gastric mucosa is the most important aetiologic agent identified to cause chronic gastritis with consequences ranging from acute ulceration to the development of debilitating gastric cancer. Histopathologic characterisation of the disease progression from gastric biopsies is frequently required. Objectives: To determine the histopathologic pattern of gastric biopsies categorised chronic gastritis using updated Sydney classification and determined the role of Helicobacter pylori in chronic gastritis in our centre. Methodology: A retrospective study of all the gastric biopsies received in the department of Histopathology, Usmanu Danfodio University Teaching Hospital, and Sokoto between the years 2011-2020. Formalin fixed, paraffin embedded tissue blocks and slides stained with routine, special and immunohistochemical stains were used. Microscopic features detailing different pathologies were analysed and chronic gastritis were classified based on updated Sydney classification. Information on age, sex and duration of disease was retrieved from request cards and case folders. Collected data analyzed using SPSS version 20. Results: There were 252 gastric biopsies received, 137 male and 115 female patients and a ratio of 1.2:1. Their ages ranged from 16 to 82 years and peak in the 6th decade of life with a mean age of 46.5 years. The most common diagnosis was chronic gastritis and constitutes 85.5% (215 cases), followed by adenocarcinoma (10.3%), gastrointestinal stromal tumour (2.4%) and gastric ulcer (2.0%). Among chronic gastritis, 47.4% were H. pylori associated. Moderate to severe activity and inflammation were seen in 45.6% and 48.4% respectively. Mucosal atrophy (Atrophic Gastritis) was seen 81.4% while 19.5% show complete or incomplete intestinal metaplasia. Conclusion: Helicobacter pylori organism was the common cause of gastric morbidity in our environment, causing chronic gastritis with predominantly mild to moderate grade of inflammation, mucosal atrophy, activity and organisms colonisation.

In the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis and primary biliary cirrhosis, the tumor necrosis factor-alpha has an important role. We describe the case of a 61-years-old woman with rheumatoid arthritis and primary biliary cirrhosis treated with anti-tumor necrosis factor-alpha agents. During treatment with golimumab, we found an improvement in liver function, but rheumatoid arthritis remained poorly controlled. When etanercept was started, the disease activity of rheumatoid arthritis was significantly improved and liver function was also improved despite the appearance of Pityriasis Rosea during etanercept. This case shows that etanercept therapy maintained liver enzymes within normal limits in PBC and controlled arthritis with a 10-month follow-up but the maintenance of this treatment was limited by the appearance of the pityriasis rosea.

PEX is a systemic disease with ocular manifestations represented by deposition of white fibrillogranular material on the internal tissue of the eye. It is an age related and environmentally influenced disorder of the elastic fibre structure. Pseudo exfoliation is present worldwide in every race and ethnic group with variable prevalence. Methods: A retrospective descriptive study of records of 398 patients, scheduled for cataract surgery in the martyr Sohail Alatrash eye hospital- Benghazi from 1-Januray-2010 to 31-May -2010, were included. Demographic parameters like age and sex as well as clinical Features including the presence of PEX were collected. Results: Out of 398 patients enrolled, 56 were diagnosed with PEX. A statistically insignificant relationship was found between PEX and advancing age in both males and females (𝑃> 0.005). Conclusion: We found the prevalence of PEX syndrome among Libyans patients with age –related cataract scheduled for surgery aged 40 years or older to be 14.1%.
