Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the changes in mandibular and maxillary third molars in cases treated with and without extraction. Materials and methods: Pre-treatment (T1) and post-treatment (T2) radiographs were taken of 46 subjects who had been treated without extraction and 44 subjects who had been treated with extraction of premolars. Results: The increase of eruption space and the improvement of the angular position of third molars were statistically significant between extraction and non-extraction orthodontic treatment, whereas, there was no statistically significant difference between first premolar extraction and second premolar extraction. Conclusion: Third molar impaction for orthodontic patients can be predicted before treatment according to the size of retro molar space and the type of treatment with or without premolar extraction.

The study was done to compare results of different imaging modalities Computed Tomography (CT scan) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) with operative or histopathological diagnosis and to determine the accuracy of each. Forty patients with clinically or ultrasonographically diagnosed intraorbital masses were enrolled in the study who did not have any contraindication for contrast enhanced CT or MRI. A correct diagnosis was made in 37 patients and an incorrect diagnosis in 3 patients on CT scan while correct diagnosis was made on MRI in 38 patients and incorrect diagnosis was made in 2 patients. The clinical, surgical and histopathological findings were used as the gold standard for making a final diagnosis in these patients. There was an excellent agreement between CT and MRI in predicting extraorbital involvement, intracranial extension and optic nerve involvement. CT predicted bony involvement and areas of calcification better whereas MRI was better in predicting extraocular muscle involvement.

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.

Post-tracheostomy brachiocephalic arterial injury (TABC) is a rare complication. We report the case of a 62-year-old patient ho required invasive ventilation through an orotracheal tube for asthma. He had suddenly showed a cataclysmic hemorrhage externalizing around the tracheal cannula with bright red blood. The exploration had revealed a breach of two centimeters at the level of the TABC. Ulceration of TABC after tracheostomy despite its rarity is a fatal complication that must be known by the resuscitators.

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.
