Objective: In this study our main goal is to evaluate the predictive factors and maternal and foetal outcome of breech delivery in Rangpur medical college hospital. Method: This prospective observational study was carried out at Rangpur medical college hospital. From July 2019-Deccember 2019 where 51 singleton uncomplicated breech presentation admitted for delivery were included in the study. Results: During the study, mean umbilical cord length in LSCS and vaginal delivery group was 55.3±3.8 cm and 56.2±3.7 cm respectively. Mean placental weight in breech deliveries in LUCS and vaginal delivery group was 645±132 gram and 599±212 respectively. Cornu-fundus position of placental localization was the commonest in both the groups. Regarding the fetal outcome, 42.1% neonates suffered birth asphyxia in vaginal group while 37.5% suffered same problem in LUCS group. Higher (62.5%) percentage of children was born in LUCS group without any complications compared to 52.6% in vaginal group. Higher percentage (42.1%) of neonates needed admission in vaginal delivery group than LUCS group (37.5%) for different complications. 87.5% of LUCS group and 57.8% in vaginal group did not suffer from any maternal complications during delivery. No mortality was reported. Conclusion: From our study we can conclude that, short umbilical cord length and increased placental weight may be the important predictive factors for breech presentation.

The psycho-social approach implemented in the line of this narrative puts into view, the author’s undertaking of analyzing the rapport of the institutions of representations and the institutions of technology. Within this respect, the involvement of verbal text, throughout Okpewho’s dynamic to redefine the basic stylistic effects and the distinctive nature of systems that determine the forms of knowledge displays parameters of interrogation pertaining to the reality of the individual, issues of creation, significance, memory and figure. Thus, by transgressing conventional perception of written text, Okpewho moves beyond unconscious perception to ingrain, a formal and substantial relation as it regards intellectual representation. The object and the search of figures of consciousness that underline the scope of Call Me By My Rightful Name constitutes a psychoanalytical method stressing on a realm of self-reconnection and re-appropriation. Then, through a material truth and an objective reality, Okpewho attempts to withdraw the written cultural system superimposed upon oral traditional cultures. Therefore, the purpose of this article becomes an analytic method within which the emphasis is put on the how the values of truth of the individual as regard its cultural, social and linguistic context determine the unity of the concrete reality of the cognitive psychology and social organization of the African primitive traditions.

Introduction: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a most common cause of death in developed as well as developing countries. Inflammation plays an important role in the pathogenesis of CAD. Aim and Objective: To identify the hsCRP levels in established CAD patients and its correlation with angiographic severity. Research Design and Methods: A cross sectional study conducted on 72 patients of established CAD aged between 35 and 55 years. The coronary angiographic severity was assessed by number of coronary vessels involved and Gensini scoring system. The serum hsCRP was estimated by Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay. Results: The mean hsCRP level was 14.85 mg/dL. Among the total 72 study participants 33 had single vessel disease, 13 and 25 had double vessel and triple vessel involvement respectively. There was no significant correlation of hsCRP with angiographic finding (r=0.103, p=0.385). Conclusion: We found that hsCRP was highly elevated but not a predictor of angiographic severity among established CAD with presence of other cardiovascular risk factors.

Objective: To determine the anti-asthmatic activity of Argemone mexicana ethanolic extract and its chloroform and ethyl acetate fractions. Methods: Present study was designed to evaluate the anti-asthmatic activity of Argemone mexicana stems using various experimental in vivo and in vitro animal models. Ethanolic extract of Argemone mexicana and its chloroform and ethyl acetate fractions were evaluated for its anti-asthmatic activity by in vitro models (isolated guinea pig ileum preparation and isolated guinea pig tracheal chain preparation) in vivo models (Histamine and acetylcholine induced bronchospasm in guinea pigs and milk induced eosinophilia in mice models). Results: Ethanolic extract of Argemone mexicana significantly antagonized the effect of histamine induced contraction on isolated guinea pig ileum preparation. Ethanolic extract of Argemone mexicana, and its ethyl acetate fraction at the concentration of 10mg significantly inhibited the contraction of isolated guinea pig ileum and trachea chain preparation produced by histamine. Ethanolic extracts of Argemone mexicana at dose of 150, 250, and 350mg/kg body weight significantly extended the latent period of convulsion as compared to standard (Ketotifen fumarate) upon histamine and acetylcholine exposure in a dose dependent manner. Conclusion: Ethanolic extract of Argemone mexicana stems have shown significant anti-asthmatic activity.

The study is an attempt to investigate the India’s bilateral trade profile and export potential of India with United Arab Emirates (UAE) over the period 2001-2018. In addition to exploring the bilateral trade with UAE, it also throws light on how India has performed globally during the same period. In order to analyze India’s export intensity, complementarity, diversification & specialization we resorted to trade indices and Finally, Revealed Comparative Advantage Index (RCA) is calculated to find out what are the lines of specialization that India has in its anvil. Index of competitiveness is calculated both at the global and bilateral level i.e. RCA with world and Bilateral Revealed Comparative Advantage (BRCA) with UAE. It is found that, though, India is second largest supplier to UAE in Merchandise trade, still a major proportion of export revenue is coming from very few lines. Precious stones and Jewellery items accounts for around 30% of exports earning. Our calculations reveal that there are 228 products in which India has bilateral revealed comparative advantage with UAE, while globally it has revealed comparative advantage in 558 products. Thus, there exists a gap of around 377 products, which India can tap for additional US $ 6.42 billion of UAE demand where India supplies only US $ 1.21 billion as of 2018.
