Background: The congenital bleeding disorders haemophilia A and B are estimated to affect between one in 10 000 and one in 50000 males. The clinical profile of hemophilia patients is rarely reported in India. ISTH- Bleeding Assesment Tool score is one such score which not only helps us to diagnose a bleeding diathesis but may also help us in predicting the severity of bleeding potential of any patient with bleeding diathesis. Objective: To describe the clinical and epidemiological profile of hemophiliac patients in Uttarakhand. Calculate Bleeding Assessment Tool score in all patients of haemophilia and differentiate severe haemophilia from moderate haemophilia. Material and Methods: A total of 75 patients of all age groups with haemophilia A and B were included in the study. A detailed clinical history using ISTH -BAT along with clinical assessment by the hematologist was done. Special emphasis was laid on demographic details. Coagulation studies were done on STAGOSTA compact. Chi-square test was used for Assessing BAT scores. Results: The hospital based prevalence was 1.2% for haemophilia A and 0.3% for haemophilia B in our study. There were 74 % severe haemophilia and 5% of mild haemophilia in our study. The presence of inhibitors was 6%. There was significant statistical difference between the BAT score values of moderate and severe haemophilia (p value<0.05). Conclusion: The study suggested high prevalence of haemophilia in the state along with high numbers of inhibitors. More studies are required to establish the role of bleeding assessment tool in differentiating moderate haemophilia from severe haemophilia.

Systemic delivery of drugs through nasal route requires extended residence time in nasal cavity. The aim of the present work is to fabricate an In-Situ nasal gel using thermoreversible polymer, PF-127 and mucoadhesive polymers HPMC E15 and PEG 6000 to improve the residence time and easy application of accurate dosage. Optimization of formulations was carried out in terms of their content uniformity, clarity, pH, gelation temperature, viscosity, mucoadhesive strength and spreadability. Drug-excipient compatibility was ascertained by FT-IR Spectroscopy. Optimization of PF-127 concentration (20 and 25%) was done to get gelation temperature of formulations in the nasal physiological temperature range (25-34℃). The regression value of ex vivo permeation kinetic study show highest linearity for F1 and F2 to the Higuchi Model whereas F3, F4, F5, F6 to the first order model & the ‘n’ value of each formulation shown that F1, F2 follow Non- Fickian release and F3, F4, F5, F6 follow Super Case II release mechanism. The value of exponent ‘n’ of Korsmeyer-Peppas model suggests the permeation from F1 & F2 is diffusion & erosion controlled, and F3, F4, F5 & F6 is due to the erosion of the polymeric chain. It can be concluded that as viscosity of the formulation is increased the release mechanism will transform from Non – Fickian to Super Case II release mechanism. Hence a clear In-Situ gel may be formulated using PF 127 which is a stable under accelerated conditions and releases the drug under controlled manner for sustained systemic delivery through nasal route.

Introduction: Gingival bleeding is one of the cardinal signs of inflammatory gum disease which if untreated can lead to periodontal disease and eventual tooth loss. This study assessed the knowledge and clinical presentation of inflammatory gum disease among Nigerians in the South-South geopolitical zone. Methods: Self-administered questionnaires were filled by all consenting patients that attended the Oral Diagnosis Clinic of the University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital between May and July 2017. Information elicited were socio-demographics, knowledge on causes and sequelae of gingival bleeding. Indices used were Gingival Index (GI), Sulcular Bleeding Index (SBI) and Simplified Oral Hygiene Index (OHI-S). Data was analyzed using epi-info and level of significance was set at <0.05. Results: 308 participants were recruited with M: F ratio of 1:1.3 and mean age of 34.2(±13.4) years. Two-fifth (42.1%) had gingival bleeding while brushing. Though 51 (36.4%) knew gingival bleeding is abnormal, more than half [35(59.3%)] did not know what caused their bleeding. Some reasons given for gingival bleeding while brushing were dental infection [10 (17.0%)] and hard bristled toothbrushes [98 (13.6%)]. Majority [234(70%)] didn’t know the sequelae of untreated gingival bleeding. Clinical examination showed 76(24.7%) had halitosis, 101(32.8%) bled on probing. 131(42.5%) had a gingival index of 2. Mean MGBI and OHI-S were 1.16(±0.9) and 1.74(±0.9) respectively. 33(10.7%) participants had poor oral hygiene. Conclusion: The participants had a poor knowledge of inflammatory gum diseases. There is the need to increase awareness among the populace and encourage prompt treatment thereby reducing its avoidable sequelae like tooth loss.

The play "This place does not exist" has been recently released in Peru, it is promoted as a social protest against illegal mining and prostitution of teenagers in the peruvian jungle, however, a scientific analysis reveals that it has actually been carefully designed with a goal : the promotion of brain internet in the jungle. The play belongs to the millionaire media campaign to promote the cerebral internet and digital fascism. The transmission of thoughts from the cerebral Internet via wi-fi is recreated in its advertising that shows an adolescent with an open brain and an recreation of transmission of thoughts, the transmission of private life with cerebral Internet is promoted subliminally under the argument of visibility as the main way of getting out of poverty. Although this play is promoted as a social protest against slavery of teenagers of the jungle actually it promotes sexual slavery with surveillance and mind control of these teenagers with brain net.

In fact, textiloma is a postoperative complication. It is very rare but well-known. Besides, it could be a strange body consists of compresses or surgical remaining field at the level of an operating area. In other words, the discovery of the abdominal textiloma is generally late. Therefore, the history is essential for diagnosis since the clinic isn’t conclusive. The clinic combines chronic transit disorders with suboclusive syndromes and the abdomen image which makes the preparation less effective. In addition to that, the ultrasound is reliable. The computed tomography allows an accurate topographical diagnosis. Some teamworkers suggest some explorations concerning the MRI. Thus, we report a case of intra-abdominal textiloma with an operated patient for a cesarean section.

Mechanical ventilation is a lifesaving modality in critically ill patients. It is achieved through passage of Endotracheal Tube in the trachea for the assistance in breathing and removal of tracheal secretions. ETT tends to interfere in the function of mucociliary ladder putting the patient at risk for accumulation of secretions which requires an utmost need for endotracheal suctioning. This invasive procedure ensures the patency of ETT and deliverance of adequate oxygenation to the patient, but lack of knowledge and malpractices of the nurses tends to put the patient at risk for certain complications. The study was aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of structured training program in enhancing performance knowledge of ICU nurses in terms of ETT suctioning. For the evaluation of knowledge and skill, a questionnaire and observational checklist was developed along with the protocol of ETT suctioning in the context of evidence based guidelines. Quasi experimental design was chosen with purposive sampling technique. The sample size was 50 students of Post Basic Diploma in ICU/CCU from various college of nursing of Lahore and Islamabad. Findings of the study proposed that post implementation knowledge and practices of ICU nurses were immensely improved with p value of 0.00, respectively. Henceforth, the structured training program proved to be promising and had a meaningful influence to enhance the performance knowledge of ICU nurses in relation to ETT suctioning guidelines.
