At present, domestic vocabulary teaching, including academic English vocabulary teaching, mostly adopts traditional teaching methods. The current situation is that students with limited academic vocabulary have low academic competence. It is English teachers who have the duty and responsibility to help students expand their academic English vocabulary. Guided by the Production-oriented approach (POA), this article manages to construct the teaching design of academic English vocabulary teaching and explores effective ways to enhance students’ academic English proficiency. This article finds that under the guidance of POA theory, academic English vocabulary teaching can more effectively stimulate students’ internal motivation, promote the completion of production tasks, enhance students’ sense of acquisition, and more accord with China’s foreign language teaching practice.

Carbohydrates are present in the form of starch and sugars in our food. The three major antioxidant vitamins are beta-carotene, vitamin C, and vitamin E. Beta carotene, like all carotenoids, is an antioxidant also a scavenger of singlet oxygen. The main cause of vitamin C loss from food is leaching, which transfers vitamin C to the cooking water, which is decanted and not consumed. Vitamin E is found naturally in some foods, added to others, and available as a dietary supplement. The blood of the animals also contains the various clotting factors that significantly involved in the processes or events related the blood cancer or diseases. The major type of the protein in the system of vertebrate in the blood is the fibrinogen. The blood of the human also contains the various clotting factors that significantly involved in the processes or events related the blood cancer or diseases. The thrombolytic activity of the food extracts remains unclear and not completely studied yet. Different factors are involved in clotting of the blood. Different compounds in foods promoted the clotting of the blood by activating the calcium. This review helpful for the investigation of the novel compounds in many plants that are used to treat the large number of diseases as well as to understand the nature of compounds that reduce the production of the free radicals in the particular cells.

One-year surveillance for enteric viruses in raw sewage, treated water and groundwater near of near effluents from the wastewater treatment plant (WWTPs) of Errachidia, Morocco from March 2018 to April 2019. samples were carried out in 1-liter bottles sterile propylene at the levels of raw water, treated water, and effluent water at several points and well water. Virus concentration was performed according to an end point filtration on cellulose nitrate filter of 0.2µm pore. A total of 108 was screened for Enterovirus (EV), Rotavirus (RV), Norovirus (NoV) and Hepatitis A (HAV) using a real time RT-PCR technique. The study shows a persistence of the contamination of the treated water, effluents and groundwater by EV, NoV and RV. Contrariwise, no HAV was detected in any sample performed during the study period. Detection rate for EV ranged from 100% for surface water to 50% for groundwater. For NoV detection rate ranged from 100% to 33% for surface and groundwater respectively while RV was detected in 8% to 42% in surface water and 0% to 8% in groundwater. These results suggest that enteric virus contamination of wadi Ziz negatively impact on their microbiological quality since they are used for irrigation and drinking intake, which exposes the population of the region to constant risk of acute gastroenteritis, especially in children.

This article looks at how linguistic constructions influenced development of theatre in Uganda. It traces the relationship between the constructions, conceptualization, theory and practice of theatre in Uganda. The article avers that linguistic constructions led to negative perceptions, which led to apathy towards theatre and inhibited Ugandan theatre scholars and practitioners towards adequate theatre conceptualisation, study and practice. The inhibition curtailed development of appropriate approaches to theatre, vis-à-vis ability to recognise artistic value and capability to organise theatrical elements into a good theatre experience, which led to inadequate development of theatre theory, skills, techniques and practice. The article proposes an approach that can help build capacity of theatre practitioners and scholars for appropriate exploitation of the Performing Arts and feed into the government’s efforts of promoting the Creative Arts Industry (CAI) for employment creation, improved social intelligence and sustainable development.

Acute viral hepatitis (AVH) is a systemic infection affecting the liver predominantly. It is a major public health problem in India and other developing nations having inadequate sanitary conditions. This study was undertaken to determine the trends of Hepatitis A & E & their coinfection in a tertiary care hospital so that appropriate management of cases as well as prevention can be planned. Material & Methods: Over a 1-year period, a total of 1074 serum samples were collected from clinically suspected cases of hepatitis. The serum samples were screened for IgM anti-HAV and IgM anti-HEV. Seasonal variation & age group wise seropositivity of hepatitis A& E was studied. Results: Out of the total 1074 samples screened, the percentage positivity of Hepatitis A was 6% and Hepatits E was 15% respectively. Of both Hepatitis A & E positive cases, males outnumbered females. Majority of HAV positive cases were children whereas majority of hepatitis E positive cases were adults. Conclusion: The prevalence of HEV was more than HAV in enterically transmitted viruses, making them a major public health problem in our area. Seasonal trends of infection were observed in addition, co-infection though infrequent, but still detected in one case.

Introduction: Abnormal uterine bleeding can manifest in various ways and is one of the common reasons for visit to the gynaecology OPD. Finding out the etiology is of paramount importance in the management of abnormal uterine bleeding. Histopathological study of endometrial curettings is one of the key ways to diagnose the cause of abnormal uterine bleeding. Materials and Methods: Study was conducted as a prospective study spanning over 2 year in the pathology Department of KIMS. The study participants include women with abnormal uterine bleeding who are subjected to general physical examination and basic laboratory investigations. Curettage specimens from these patients were subjected to histopathological examination to find out the etiology. Results: Examination was done on curettage specimens of 150 women presenting with abnormal uterine bleeding. The functional causes are more common than organic causes and the proportion increases as the age advances. Hyperplasias either simple, complex or atypical are more common organic etiologies. Endometrial adenocarcinoma is the most common malignancy encountered in the endometrial specimens. Conclusion: There are numerous functional and organic causes that can manifest as abnormal different bleeding. Diagnosis of these causes relies mainly on the histopathological examination of the curettage specimens. Hence management of abnormal uterine bleeding causes depends upon the histopathological diagnosis.

The use of 3D printing has seen a rapid increase in dentistry. This technology offers a lucrative advantage of combining precision and customization with reduced labor and time consumption. It aids the creation of a digital workflow wherein every step is performed virtually without a need for multiple laboratory procedures. Reduced material consumption in additive manufacturing when compared to the traditional milling techniques also makes it a convenient option. However, the properties of rapid prototype materials are dependent on multiple factors. Research on their mechanical properties has been done and factors affecting the same have been determined to an extent. The many aspects involved in the printing of dental materials make it necessary to exhaustively research the influence of each on different materials and techniques of manufacturing. This review aims to describe the present applications of additive manufacturing technologies in fabricating dental restorations. Studies that have explored the accuracy and properties of the materials used at each step, from creating tooth dies to a fixed prosthesis, and compared them with presently used methods have been discussed. The factors that influence the fabrication accuracy and mechanical properties have also been described. Though further studies on the material, technical and biological influences are needed, the present research seems promising. This technology can change the techniques used in restorative dentistry for the benefit of both the patients and dentists alike.

This article presents the results of a scientific economic research, which goal was to reveal the economic indicators resulting from two crises never seen before in Mexico: on the one hand, the health crisis caused by COVID19 and on the other hand, the economic crisis that has been dragging on for several decades. The authors analyzed from the modern conventional economy using the inferential deductive method, the statistical information of the five months of the year 2020 (April-August) regarding the gross domestic product, employment and unemployment in Mexico in order to understand the two crises and propose the alternatives of its solution. The study showed that the average growth rate in employment during the last 36 years in Mexico (neoliberal model) was 1.8%, while unemployment increased in the same period at a rate of 3.4%, an indicator that shows the incapacity of the model to satisfy the demand for labor of the population. Likewise, in the unemployment variable, the neoliberal model implemented since the eighties of the twentieth century in Mexico, has resulted in a low dynamism in GDP, unlike that achieved in the nationalist period, with the consequent reduced number of jobs each six-year term and with it, a considerable increase in the number of unemployed.

The emerging global resistance to anti-tubercular drugs, and the underdiagnosis of extrapulmonary tuberculosis lesions, warrants an increased awareness of the involvement of Mycobacterium tuberculosis at rare sites of occurrence, such as the oral cavity. The involvement of the tongue, the most common site of oral tuberculosis, can either be primary or secondary. We report a rare presentation of oral tuberculosis in a 45-year-old male who presented with ulcerative lesions on the tongue and epiglottis. Histopathological examination showed chronic granulomatous inflammation with positive Ziehl Neelsen stain. The patient responded well to anti-tubercular treatment. Tuberculosis should be kept as a differential diagnosis of oral cavity lesions so that prompt diagnosis can be offered, leading to better patient management. Efficient treatment in such cases is beneficial for the community, as the patient is a potential source of transmission of tuberculosis.

The findings from this study should provide valuable information to develop a future strategic plan, and improve clinical care. A retrospective review of the hospital records (including theatre logbooks, theatre lists, case notes and admission notebooks in the wards) of all patients operated upon within the study period was done. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the collected data. Two hundred and forty-two (242) patients who had two hundred and eighty-eight (288) maxillofacial surgeries in the period under review formed the population for this study. There were 180 (62.5%) males and 108 (37.5%) females giving a male to female ratio of 1.6: 1. The ages observed ranged from 3 months to 85 years (median age of 23 years and mean age of 22.36 ± 20.09). Congenital/developmental conditions formed the largest indication for surgery, accounting for 113 (39.4%) of the cases seen. The most commonly performed surgery was cleft lip/palate repair (36.1%, n = 104), followed by mandibulectomy and reconstruction using plating systems (16.7%, n = 48). Major Oral and Maxillofacial surgeries are commonly carried out in our centre. The quality of service delivery can be improved upon through adequate manpower training in microvascular surgeries to help in better patient rehabilitation and provision of needed facilities.

The existence of National Forensic DNA Database enormously helps investigations & control of crime. But criticisms have been raised at the ethical & social risks from misuse of DNA database. In India, there is no legislation on DNA profiling. Hence, peoples’ support is required. So, we aimed to study the knowledge & attitude about the benefits & risks of National Forensic DNA Database among 400 medical students. We found that the knowledge about the use of DNA fingerprinting as an evidence is good. The knowledge about National Forensic DNA Database & its current status in India is poor. Most of them (87.5%) opinioned that it’s a step forward in criminal investigations. 42% felt it’s beneficial. Many of them doubted its efficiency (40%), safe guarding (53%) & its establishment (47.5%) in India. Many of them feel that they have privacy issues (62.7%) & it has potential to harm (39.3%). 51.5% felt it should be a permanent record. Most of them supported for inclusion of all crime scene stains, suspects, recordable offence, missing persons & unidentified dead bodies DNA should be profiled. 42.75% were willing to provide their DNA samples. Hence, we found that the knowledge of medical students about National Forensic DNA Database is not adequate. This will lead to lack of support & may be interpreted as violation of human rights. But most of them supported the need for such a database; hence creating awareness on our part will definitely help in improving the people’s understanding.

The anatomical relationship between the floor of maxillary sinus and maxillary posterior teeth always possess a challenge in dentistry, especially during the endodontic and extraction procedures. Maxillary sinus often pneumatize between the molar roots and results in proximity between them. Odontogenic sinusitis incidence is of 10% to 12% of a well-recognized phenomena. The most common cause is foreign body displacement into the sinus. The most common foreign body in the maxillary sinus is an extracted maxillary tooth followed by a displaced root. This article reports a case in which a root was displaced to the most medial superior margin of the maxillary sinus. The palatal root was displaced during extraction of the left maxillary second molar and was retrieved after three days of the incidence.
