The mucocele is one of the common benign salivary gland disorders that occur in the oral cavity due to mucous accumulation and results in alteration of minor salivary glands. Lower lip is the most common site of the extravasation mucocele and is caused due to trauma or a habit of lip biting, while retention mucoceles can be found at any other site. Mucoceles most probably affect young patients but can affect all the age groups. Diagnosis is mostly based on clinical findings. Mucocele may have a soft consistency, bluish, and transparent cystic swelling. The treatment of choice is surgical removal.

Snakebite envenomation occurs due to subcutaneous or intramuscular injection of venom into a victim resulting in complicated pharmacological effects that depend on the combined and synergistic action of toxic and non-toxic components. Hence, this research was aimed at evaluating the hepato-protective effect of Azadirachta indica leaf fractionated extracts against snake venom toxicity in albino rats. A. indica leaf was collected, authenticated and extracted using 95% methanol followed by fractionation using hexane and ethylacetate. Albino rats of both sexes were randomly divided into five (5) groups of six (6) rats each (3 males and 3 females). Group 1 received 1% aqueous solution of Tween-80 orally. Groups 2, 3 and 4 received 0.2 mg/kg b.w. of the venom, but 3 and 4 were treated with 100 mg/kg b.w. of hexane fraction and ethylacetate fraction respectively. Group 5 received 0.2 mg/kg b.w. of the venom and treated with standard conventional antivenin. The hexane and the ethylacetate fractions significantly provided protection on the liver probably via inactivation of the venom cytotoxins leading to the hepatic protection. Among the two (2) fractions administered to the envenomed rats, only hexane fraction was able to significantly (P<0.05) reduce the activity of serum LDH compared to the venom control group. None of the fractions or the standard antivenin reduced the serum AST, but the levels of total and direct bilirubin were significantly (P<0.05) lowered in the envenomed rat compared to the venom control group. In contrast, the standard antivenin significantly increased the serum TP. This research has provided a scientific proof on the antivenom properties of A. indica leaf, and the plant extracts tested can be used for the detoxification of the snake venom toxicity.

The challenge faced by Islamic higher education in the global era at this time is to improve the quality and competitiveness of higher education so that it is sought after by the education user community. The quality and competitiveness of higher education must be promoted and marketed to the wider community so that it can be known and sought after by the education user community. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of experiential marketing factors on the competitiveness of Islamic higher education in Indonesia. This study uses a quantitative research design with a survey technique of teaching staff. The survey was conducted on 200 educational staff of Islamic higher educations in East Java, Indonesia. Data were collected using a questionnaire and analyzed using SEM AMOS. Hypothesis test results indicate that there is no effect between factor sense and feel marketing on the competitiveness of Islamic Higher Education in Indonesia and there is a significant effect between think, act, and relate marketing factors on the competitiveness of Islamic higher education in Indonesia. The better in implementing think, act, and related marketing can improve the competitiveness of Islamic Universities. These variable conditions need to be improved in implementing experiential marketing education so that universities are increasingly in demand by stakeholders.

In this paper, we use data envelopment analysis (DEA) to evaluate the relative performance of 41 open-end funds from 2015 to 2018 in China market. By comparison, it is found that the traditional performance measurement index based on investment return rate and DEA model have both similarities and differences in evaluating relative performance of fund. The fund performance evaluation system established by DEA model includes many estimators such as risk reward, fund behavior and growth liquidity. It could accomplish more comprehensive performance evaluation results than traditional performance analysis methods. In addition, this paper uses DEA-Malmquist super-efficiency to analyze the potential micro and macro factors that influence the relative performance of fund. The result shows that there may be an optimal interval between relative performance of fund and its size. The current investors of open-end funds are mainly small and medium-sized investors and the participation of institutional investors is low. Increasing the percentage of institutional investors could have a positive impact on the fund's relative performance. This paper brings perspectives and suggestions for investors, fund managers and market supervisors to further improve the efficiency of open-end fund and its relative performance.

Infertility has grown into an emergent issue in recent times. It is defined as the inability of the couple to conceive despite two years of co habitation and unprotected exposure to pregnancy. As there is a dearth of studies concerning infertility among rural population this study was taken up in Sri Siddhartha Medical College, a constituent college of SSAHE, a Deemed to be university which caters to rural population of Tumkur district of Karnataka with the aim of assessing the role of HbA1c, Vitamin D and AMH in infertile women of the above mentioned population. Our case control study included age matched 40 infertile women and 40 apparently healthy women. Quantification of HbA1c was by fluorescence immunoassay on the Fine Care analyzer. AMH was assayed on cobas e immunoassay analyzer adopting chemiluminescene method. Vitamin D estimated by fully automated chemiluminescene analyzer Siemens Advia Centaur for 25-OH Vitamin D. Our study revealed statistically significant (P-<0.001) increase of Blood HbA1c and serum AMH whereas significant (P-<0.001) decrease in serum Vitamin D levels. The present study shows that there is high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency, significantly elevated HbA1c levels which is marker of long term glycemic control and increased AMH levels which indicated anovulation in infertile women. So it is suggested that early estimation of these biochemical parameters and their correction would possibly lead to increased chances of conception in these infertile women of rural population.

The purpose of this study is to produce a science learning tool with a valid, practical, and effective guided inquiry model.
