Asparagus racemosus Willd belongs to the plant family Asparagaceae and one of the well-known medicinal plants used in indigenous systems of medicine of Sri Lanka. It has abundant medicinal effects such as aphrodisiac, antioxidant, immunostimulant, antihepatotoxic, antibacterial, antidiabetic, anticarcinogenic, antidiarrheal, antiulcerogenic, antioxytocic, etc. Local suppliers for A. racemosus cannot meet the country requirement and therefore, mainly depends on imported A. racemosus grown in India. Therefore, an attempt was taken to evaluate the physico-chemical, phytochemical and nutritional profile of A. racemosus grown in India. Results revealed that 6.2 0.1% of total ash, 1.9 0.0% of water-soluble ash and 1.7 0.0% of acid insoluble ash were contained in roots of A. racemosus grown in India. Total phenolic content, total flavonoid content and total saponin content were 14.0 ± 0.1 mg gallic acid equivalents/g of extract 7.1 ± 0.2 mg quercetin equivalents/g of extract and 4.5±0.2 % respectively for A. racemosus grown in India. Twelve prominent spots bearing Rf values of 0.07, 0.09, 0.12, 0.20, 0.25, 0.28, 0.36, 0.48, 0.54, 0.71, 0.89 and 0.93 were present in Indian origin A. racemosus. Heavy metals such as Hg, As, Cd and Pb and microorganisms including Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Coliforms, Salmonella and yeast and moulds were not detected in A. racemosus roots. Energy value of A. racemosus grown in India was 22 kcal/100g. In conclusion, present study illustrates a clear idea of physico-chemical, phytochemical and nutritional properties of A. racemosus grown in India.

The Sultanate of Oman which was once considered to be a very conservative country is now going through a phase of social change wherein her women have more social awareness and are becoming extremely conscious about how they look and present themselves in public. These being the case we can with surety say that this had led to them giving more emphasis to self-hygiene and looks, which has directly led to the increase in the use of cosmetic products. A plethora of cosmetic products both nationally and internationally made now flood the Omani market. This paper aims to study the behavioral patterns towards specific cosmetic products in Oman.

Background: Aging is a normal process in the life of all living beings. It is a multidimensional process of physical, psychological, and social change. Some dimensions of ageing grow and expand over time, while others decline. The study looks at effect of MSRT a yoga technique in elderly to improve cognitive functions like attention, concentration, short term memory and executive functions. Materials and Methods: Elderly subjects were recruited based on inclusion and exclusion criteria (n = 30) for a single group interventional pre-post study design: MSRT (a relaxation technique) was given for a period of 1 month (30 days). The subjects were assessed on day 1 pre and post intervention on day 30 on Six Letter Cancellation Test (SLCT), and Trail Making Test-B (TMT-B). Results: After one month of MSRT practice showed significantly better performance in the SLCT test compared to baseline by Paired sample t test (P < 0.0001) and TMT-B scores (P < 0.0001). Conclusions: The results of this study establish that MSRT can be used as a technique to enhance cognition and prevent cognitive decline in the elderly.

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic is a major health crisis affecting India like other countries, with over 42,533 confirmed cases and 1373 deaths till 04 may 2020. This spread outbreaks are associated with adverse mental health consequences caused confusion, changed Quality of Life, including movement restrictions, fear of disease become panic, and closure of schools, shops and businesses, and brought about overwhelming psychological impacts, like anxiety, depression, stress, the psychological impact of COVID-19 and its relation with mental health were examined. Because of stigmatization and the fear of being labelled as someone who carries an infectious disease many at risk populations may not seek care until symptoms are unmanageable or may not seek care at all. Resilience is the capacity to cope up with stress and adversity. It is universally regarded as a positive and valued trait. Purpose of resilience is development of initiative, self-regulation and attachment, which are protective factors that can offset or moderate the effects of stress and adversity and allow to everyone to thrive of transformed by adversity. Specially, in situations of corona virus is important to nurturing resilience in individual, family and community. Methodology: In this short review, accordingly, the electronic databases, including PubMed, Medline, Elsevier, and Science Direct, Embase, PsycINFO, Google scholar, Scopus were reviewed for relevant studies (with key words )that have conducted since 2014. Results: The current review paper was carried out to indicate that COVID-19 has negative psychological problems with situational difficulties like patient isolation; contact tracing, quarantine, lockdown and infection control methods should also address the risk of stigmatization among populations and the negative effects which could occur. A review of the studies performed in other parts of the world showed that COVID-19 has caused several psychological impacts, including increased anxiety. Conclusions: By an increase in the prevalence rate of COVID-19 and its resulted movement restrictions, the level of anxiety increases, as well; therefore, there is the need to public awareness of the disease programmes and providing positive psychological intervention programs for controlling stress and reduce anxiety in general population as well as addressing stigma and discrimination targeted toward individuals affected by COVID-19 and groups at higher risks is a priority for public health and health care providers. Individual resilience is a person's ability to positively cope after failures, setbacks, and losses. Developing resilience is a personal journey. Individuals do not react the same way to traumatic or stressful life events. An approach to building resilience that works for one person might not work for another.

Background: Both theoretical and empirical evidences on chronic illness suggest negative consequences of caregiving on the psychological wellbeing and Quality of Life (QOL) of the caregivers. However, the fact remain that there is a paucity of empirical researches on the quality of life of caregivers of people with chronic mental illness. Purpose: The purpose of the present research is to assess the Emotional Quality of Life among caregivers of person with chronic mental illness across gender. Setting: Psychiatric Hospitals and clinics Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India. Participants: The sample comprised of 100 primary caregivers of person (50 were male caregivers and 50 were Female caregivers) with diagnosed chronic mental illness of Schizophrenia, Anxiety Disorder, Personality disorder, Depression and Bipolar affective disorder (BPAD). Those willing to participate in the study were interviewed to assess their Emotional quality of life. Results: The female caregivers painfully construe caregiving as sadness and also attribute caregiving to be the source of their sadness in life. Somewhere there is a fatalist attitude adding greater pain in their life and they cope with pain and sadness largely by crying. On the other hand, male caregivers have reported painful and conflictual relationship with the patient as the perceived meaning of sadness and pain both. However, they cope up with the same by moving away and sharing with people. Globally the self-image of the caregivers is negative more specifically after the caregiving. The narratives of the caregiver are subsumed in a model. Conclusions: The findings of the study serve as the roadmap for furthering researches into emotional wellbeing of the caregivers of the person with chronic mental illness. Largely the attention is more towards creating intervention for the patients suffering from mental illness. Such studies would serve as the base for creating and improved emotional Quality of life for the caregivers.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (abbreviated “COVID- 19”) is a highly contagious respiratory disease. It was first detected in December 2019 in Wuhan, China and since then it has spread across the globe and leads to many mortality and morbidity [1]. Therefore strict lockdown and many unprecedented measures have been adopted to control the rapid spread of the COVID-19 across the world. The effectiveness of these measures is highly dependent on cooperation of all members of society. People’s adherence to preventive measures is markedly affected by their knowledge, attitude, and practices (KAP) towards COVID-19. Health care professional should have correct knowledge and fair attitude towards COVID-19, since they are the most influential community in health matters. In this study, KAP towards COVID-19 among the B.Sc. nursing students of Saudi Arabia was assessed. An online KAP questionnaire was answered by the participants. The questionnaire consisted of 15 knowledge, 10 attitude and 5 practice based questions. The average knowledge score for participants was 10.8. The overall correct answer rate of the knowledge questionnaire was 72%. About 64% of participants were obtained scores above 10. The majority of the respondents 72.6% were hopeful that world people will get rid of COVID-19 very soon, 79% believe that hand hygiene and wearing a mask can help to prevent getting the infection, 90.3% agree that practicing quarantine by staying at home and avoiding crowded places can help prevent getting infection, 75.8% conscious about the guideline given by WHO, 88.7% agree that it is necessary to rub hands with soap or alcohol for at least 20 seconds, 96.8% agree that it is essential to maintain at least 1 meter physical distance to prevent getting infection, 71% believe that humanity, fraternity and empathy to one another help us fight against COVID-19, 74.2%believe that focusing on improving immune power is a good option to prevent getting infection, 38.7%think that COVID-19 will remain in the world forever, 48.4% believe that people those are already recover from the disease also cannot transmit infection to others, 77.4% wash their hands frequently with soap and water for at least 20 to 40 seconds, 91.9% follow social distancing to avoid contact of infected persons, 83.9% avoid going crowded places these days, 75.8% practicing good respiratory hygiene and avoiding touching the eyes, nose or mouth with unwashed hands and 87.1% wore masks when going out in recent days. There was no significant difference found between the knowledgeable score of males and females about COVID-19. They hold optimistic attitudes, and have appropriate practices towards COVID-19.

Inflammatory myofibroblast tumors (IMT) formerly known as inflammatory pseudotumours was first described in 1905 by Birch-Hirschfield and is characterized by myofibroblastic proliferation associated with lymphocytes, histiocytes, plasmocytes and macrophages that form part of a stroma rich in collagen fibres. Several hypotheses such as autoimmune, infectious and tumour origin have often been discussed, although etiopathogeny is not yet fully understood. The cervico-facial location is extremely rare, less than 3%, and precisely the maxillary has been reported only twenty times in the literature .The treatment is based primarily on the most carcinogenic surgical resection possible when the tumor is accessible. We report the observation of a patient followed in our unit for a pseudoinflammatory maxillary localization tumor. The authors would like to share their approach and discuss the clinical, paraclinic and therapeutic aspects of this rare entity never seen before in our experience.

Aim: The need for the present study was to assess the knowledge, attitude as well as perception of clinical implications of behavioral management techniques (BMT) in undergraduate students. Methodology: Our research enrolled 280 final year BDS students into the questionnaire survey. The survey consisted of 15 objective questions which were emailed to the survey participants. The questions were regarding the teaching of various behavior management techniques in the various institutes, and the attitude of the participants as to which method they are most likely to use according to the age group. Results: Our study showed that final year students had limited access to manage pediatric patients. Participants reported that one of the most common problems they faced in pediatric patients was to overcome their anxiety and fear of needles in the dental setup (75.3%). Most common form of BMT which was observed by the UG students was ‘Tell Show Do’ technique (67.3%), which made the pediatric patients familiar with dental set up. Conclusion: We observed that final year students need more exposure and better experience to handle pediatric patients with use of various behaviour management techniques, which will also help to build their confidence in accomplishing their professional goals later on.

Then, the experimental results are conducted to show that the fluctuation of the magnetic field affects the concentration of PH and TDS in water.

Education today is becoming completely associated with the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) on the content delivery, communication and collaboration. Cloud computing simply involves the provision of information technology (IT) solutions as a service rather than as a product through the Internet. Sudan just like any other developing countries is yet to fully adopt cloud based systems according to trust and security challenges. The motive of this paper is to identify the extent and characteristics of Cloud Computing adoption in Sudanese universities and higher education institutions. The study assessed Cloud Computing uses in terms of actual use of cloud services and applications, ability of transition from conventional systems to cloud computing technology, and efficiency of the technical staff of IT to deal with modern technologies. The adoption of the Cloud Computing services in higher education in Sudan was relatively low. The results showed that here is a significant relationship between the adoption of Cloud Computing in Sudan and the four independent variables; (Basic knowledge of cloud computing services and applications, the actual use of cloud computing technology, ability of transition from conventional systems to Cloud Computing Technology and skills of IT human resources) at level of significance α= 0.05.

The dentist in the course of everyday practice is frequently called upon to treat a variety of infections which may be caused by viruses, bacteria, and sometimes fungi. The ability to treat these infections successfully has been totally revolutionizes since the discovery and subsequent clinical application of certain chemical substances which are produced by the microorganisms and has the ability to suppress or actually kill other microorganisms, these chemical substances are known as antibiotics. Approximately 10% of all antibiotic prescriptions are linked with dental infections and there’s a widespread abuse of antibiotics in medical and dental field. The inappropriate use of antibiotics leads to increased treatment costs, increased risk of adverse events associated to the antibiotic used and most significantly development and propagation of antimicrobial resistance. The definitive indications to be used of antibiotics in dentistry are limited and specific. The purpose of this review article is to discuss about the legitimate use of antibiotics in dental practice for control of oral infection, antibiotic prophylaxis in case of systemic conditions and the overuse and misuse of antibiotics.

Aim: The purpose of the present study was to assess the efficacy as well as pain perception status in patients, who have been administrated Inferior Alveolar Nerve Block (IANB) for third molar extraction by both closed mouth as well as open mouth techniques. Methodology: 90 patients were enrolled in the present study. The patients were given inferior alveolar nerve block to extract mandibular third molar by three different techniques. They were divided in 3 groups of 30 patients each in which conventional open mouth, Fischer 123 technique, closed mouth Vazirani Akinosi technique were assigned with Group I, II, III respectively. Pain Perception (VAS), Speed of anaesthesia, Patient anxiety and Clinician expertise were measured. Results: The results show that intra-oral conventional technique is less technique sensitive as compared to Vazirani-Akinosi and Fischer’s 123 techniques. Former is still the best in terms of less expertise required as well as pain perception by the patient. Conclusion: Conventional open mouth technique is still the most popular choice amongst clinicians and the pain sensitivity is also negligible amongst the patients with this classic intra-oral technique. Indirect as well as closed mouth technique requires more skilled expertise but can be used in cases with limited mouth opening.
