Background and Objectives: The incidence of recorded maxillofacial trauma continues to increase worldwide and as expected the etiology and types of injuries vary among different countries. Previous studies support that the differences in both patterns and etiology of maxillofacial fractures depend to a large extent on cultural, social and economic variables. As an example, in developed countries, especially in Europe, physical assaults were the main cause of maxillofacial fractures, followed by motor vehicle accident (MVA). The aim of this retrospective chart study was to analyze the demographics, causes, incidence and patterns of maxillofacial fractures in patients from the western region of Saudi Arabia treated at King Fahd Hospital, Saudi Arabia (KFGH). Methods: Patients treated between 1998 and 2018 at the department of maxillofacial surgery in KFGH were reviewed. Patient’s age, sex, pattern of facial fracture, and causes of injury were recorded. Data was analyzed using SPSS Pc+ 21.0 version statistical software. Results: A total of 616 patients (87% n = 536 male and 13% n = 80 female) with 886 fractures were recorded. The age group ranging between 20 to 29 years (39.2%; n = 238) sustained the highest incidence of maxillofacial fractures. Of the different causes of trauma, i.e., MVA, falling from heights, fighting, sports injuries and others MVA was listed as the main cause in 369 (59.9%) patients [male (n = 316) / female (n = 53)]. Of the different potential anatomical sites (Maxillary, Orbital, Nasal, ZMC, Frontal, Mandibular, Dentoalveolar, Lefort I, Lefort II and Lefort III), the mandible was found to have the highest rate 61.2% (377 out of 616), followed by ZMC (37.2%), Orbital (12.8%), Nasal (7.5%), and Frontal (6.3%). In all types of maxillofacial injuries MVA is the most frequently causative factor (n = 369) compared to Non-MVA factors (n = 247). The association between the cause of accidents and type of injury is statistically significant (p<0.01). Conclusions: In this study, MVA was found to be the most common cause of maxillofacial injuries with the mandible being the most frequent anatomical site affected. Appropriate health education programs and design engineering can be initiated to avoid road traffic accidents and reduce related injuries.

Introduction: According to the World Bank, poverty is measured by income. Bangladesh uses microcredit as an anti-poverty tool for reducing poverty. The aim of the study is to find out the impact of microcredit on poverty reduction in rural Bangladesh. Methods: This study run by following qualitative and quantitative research process based on secondary data recorded from 2002 to 2012. Study data as number microcredit borrowers have been calculated from Microfinance Information Exchange (MIX) Market Database and rest of the data are collected from the World Bank, Household Income & Expenditure Survey Report and relevant literatures. Result: Microcredit has an impact on the income poverty reduction. During the last decade, income poverty had reduced 1.5% in Bangladesh. So, MFIs are not necessary for reducing poverty because if income is increased, it depends on the poor people how they will utilize their money. Conclusion: From this study we found that microfinance can reduce the poverty by giving credit loan and generating income.

Introduction: Oligohydramnios is defined as AFI <5cm (amniotic fluid index) or the maximum vertical pocket of liquor is less than 2 cm. It has been correlated with increased risk of intrauterine growth retardation, meconium aspiration, severe birth asphyxia, low APGAR score and congenital abnormalties. There is an inverse relationship between amniotic fluid volume and pregnancy outcome. Objective: To find out the fetomaternal Outcome in Term Oligohydramnios. Materials and Methods: This study was conducted in the department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at Rajshahi Medical College Hospital, Rajshahi, Bangladesh over a period of 1 year from January 2018 to December 2018. 65 patients in third trimester of pregnancy with oligohydramnios were selected randomly after satisfying inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results: This study was performed in 65 pregnant women with amniotic fluid index <5 cm with sinleton pregnancy. In this study 38 out of the 65 patients (58%) had vaginal delivery (either induced or spontaneous) and 27 patients (42%) underwent lower segment caesarean section. Patients with amniotic fluid index 4 - 5cm on USG were 39 (60%) followed by AFI 2-4 cm was 18 (28%) and AFI <2 cm was 8 (12%). Low birth weight (<2.5 kg) was seen in 19 newborns (29%). NICU was required in 22 newborns (34%). Fetal congenital anomalies were seen in 4 cases (4%). congenital anomalies were hydronephrosis, diaphragmatic hernia, hypoplastic kidneys and multiple congenital anomalies. Conclusion: In conclusion, oligohydramnios in term pregnancies is associated with an increased risk of obstetric intervention. All cases of oligohydramnios require intensive antepartum and intrapartum care. Early detection of oligohydramnios, evaluation of the cause and severity of oligohydramnios and assessment of gestational age are essential for management. Its management may help in reduction of perinatal morbidity and mortality and decreased caesarean deliveries.

Cervical cancer is a typically slow-growing cancer that may not have symptoms, but can be early diagnosed by Pap smear and Visual Inspection of Cervix with Acetic Acid (VIA). According to WHO and UNPF, globally every year, around 500,000 women develop cervical cancer and almost 274,000 of them die from the disease. Participants in this study did not report engaging in risk factors associated with cervical cancer, they had poor knowledge of etiology, mode of transmission, symptoms, prevention methods, and different risk factors that increase the progression of cervical cancer as well as poor perception towards the chance of acquiring the disease. Using TV and Radio and having information on STI were the determinants of knowledge on cervical cancer. The result obtained in this study indicates how useful it established health education programs to increase students’ awareness and knowledge about cervical cancer. Health education interventions require improving the understanding of the factors that increases the risk and the prevention methods of cervical cancer in youth women to prevent before women engage in risky behaviors to develop healthy behavior and decrease the incidence of the disease. Governments and non-governmental organizations should work in collaboration in improving knowledge of cervical cancer and screening among youth women. For the reasons said above, this study was conducted among the tertiary level students at Gono Bishwabidyalay, Savar, Dhaka, Bangladesh.

The stall phenomenon which happens in loaded motor is unqualification in application. Meanwhile it may measure the maximum property of motor in manufacture. So the phenomenon of multiple circuit is analyzed to find a simulation of electrical state to predict the maximum currency and torque which is a necessary method to be proceeded up to now before design. We find that the simulation fits well to the reference. The conditions of multiple circuit with t=6s, U=12V result in the biggest stall force according to rotation to change time and voltage. Then it is t=8s, U=10V; t=10s, U=8V and t=12s, U=6V in turns. As for torque it is t=6s, U=12V; t=8s, U=10V; t=6s, U=12V and t=12s, U=6V in truns. When the voltage decreases resistance declines the rotation will decline in the end.

Watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) is one of the most commonly consumed tropical fruits by humans, especially Ivorians. The present study was initiated to evaluate the physicochemical, microbiological and sensory properties of watermelon juice produced in an artisanal way. For this purpose, the effect of pasteurization (82°C for 20 s) and storage (8°C for four days) on different parameters were evaluated. The pH decreases from 4.83 to 3.78 (unpasteurized juice) and from 5.13 to 3.84 (pasteurized juice), the acidity increases from 0.09 to 0.34 g/L (unpasteurized juice) and from 0.09 to 0.25 g/L (pasteurized juice), the Brix values drop from 5.95 to 4.65°B (unpasteurized juice) and from 6 to 4.80°B (pasteurized juice), and the dry matter and reducing sugars respectively varied from 4.49 to 2.12%, 0.069 to 0.06% (unpasteurized juice) and from 5.25 to 2.21%, 0.064 to 0.06%. No change was observed in the ash content in the two juices. It varied from 0.32 to 0.08%. Regarding vitamin C and lycopene, the average contents were respectively 7.57 g/mL and 0.055 mg/100 mL (unpasteurized juice) and 2.45 g/mL and 0.047 mg/100 mL (pasteurized juice). Microbiological analyzes of unpasteurized and pasteurized juices have shown the absence of coliforms and staphylococcus aureus. However, the number of mesophilic aerobic germs is lower than that of the standard. The sensory test shows that watermelon juice products have a good acceptance by the panelists. Finally, this study showed that heat treatment influences the antioxidant content and not the physicochemical parameters and ensures a healthy juice.
