Aim: The purpose of the study is to analyze how periodontal health is affected based on psychological understanding of people about various periodontal diseases and if they are aware of basic hygiene modalities to keep a healthy periodontium. Materials and methods: A cross- sectional interview-based survey was conducted among 300 people between age groups of 20-60 years. During interviews, participants provided information on their demographic characteristics, educational attainment and general gingival health. They were also assessed on their level of stress that they usually endure. Result: Our study showed general increase periodontal as well as gingival diseases with age. People also had relatively less knowledge, mostly in those people who were not well educated. Young people were enthusiastic to improve their periodontal health. Conclusion: The study shows that people who are under greater stress showed a steep decline in their periodontal health and people with poor socio-economic background also ended up with more frequent oral health problems.

Background: Genu varum (bow leg) is a deformity of the knee marked by medial angulations of the leg in relation to the thigh, an outward bowing of the legs, giving the appearance of a bow. This study was carried out to determine the prevalence of genu varum among children between 6-10 years old in some Urhobo communities in Delta state, Southern Nigeria. Materials and Methods: The study populations were drawn by purposive sampling from Ughelli, Warri, and Sapele. Data were collected on 1000 children (500 males and 500 females). Physical examination of the children was carried out by measuring their medial intercondylar distances by using calipers and meter rule while the children stood erect with their ankles touching. Children with medial intercondylar distances greater than 0.2cm (the mean value for normal Nigeria children) demonstrates the deformity (genu varum) and the frequency, age. sex was recorded. Results and Discussions: Based on this data, 43 in 1000 volunteers had genu varum. It was also seen that the prevalence was highest in 6 years old age group and lowest in 10 years old age group. It was noted as the ages increase, the prevalence rates among the age groups decreases. The prevalence of this deformity in Urhobo communities is low when compared with the overall prevalence in Nigeria. The Urhobos live in the riverine area of Southern Nigeria and their occupation are mainly farming, hunting and fishing. Their meals consists mainly of products from the farm, hunting and sea foods which are very rich in protein/calcium. Children in Urhobo Communities are also well exposed to sunlight. Conclusion: The prevalence of this genu varum in this ethnic nationality although low can be further reduced with enlightenment and education of parents and children on the importance of balanced diet.

Amyloidosis includes different forms of organic or systemic damage; it is characterized by deposits fibrillar in the connective tissue. At the ENT level, isolated involvement of the larynx is the most observed. However, isolated laryngeal involvement is rare. A search for forms multifocal or systemic by means of complementary examinations is therefore recommended. Preferential treatment of laryngeal form is endoscopic surgery with preservation functional.

Psoriatic rheumatism has seen many recent therapeutic advances, as well as new recommendations highlighting the importance of specifying certain prognostic factors in order to manage this condition early. To this end, 63 patients were studied for psoriatic rheumatism, comparing those with clinical and/or radiographic progression of the disease with those whose rheumatism is in a state of so-called minimal activity. A significant correlation was found with the extent of cutaneous psoriasis, polyarticular involvement and biological inflammatory syndrome. Our results were then compared with those in the literature.

The type of fertilizer and fertilization techniques affect the biochemical of the rhizosphere. Different Nitrogen fertilizer inputs will have different effects in the process of releasing N ions, soil pH, number of colonies and respiration activity of soil microorganisms, so that it will affect the acquisition of Nitrogen (N) and Phosphorus (P). Meanwhile, different fertilization techniques will provide different stimulations to root growth, so that it will affect the acquisition of N and P, as well as the production of rattan seedling biomass. This study used rizoboxes which were designed as a 2-factor factorial experiment. Factor I: N-Urea ((NH2)2CO) and N-ZA ((NH4)2SO4), and factor II: Homogeny Fertilization and Localized Fertilization. The results showed that N-ZA input decreased soil pH, causing the highest number of microorganism colonies, but did not increase the respiration activity of microorganisms. N-Urea input also decreased soil pH and increased the number of microorganism colonies. However, both N-ZA and N-Urea showed no significant effects on N acquisition and production of rattan seedling biomass. Localized fertilization caused rooting to be concentrated in the fertilizing area, decreased N acquisition, otherwise increased P acquisition, but cannot increase rattan seedling biomass.

Regular exercise is highly effective in cardiovascular health improvement. Professional athletes have always been regarded as exemplars of good health and have also attracted scientific curiosity on account of the strength and endurance that characterize their lifestyle. Over a period of time in athletes, cardiac adaptations to sport activities occur. The normal electrocardiographic (ECG) presentation of the heart is changed and abnormal pattern becomes present. Some of these abnormal ECG changes are suggested to be maladaptations that are risk factors for sudden cardiac death. Does the abnormal ECG pattern have anything to do with the training age of the athletes? The aim of this study is to determine the relationship between electrocardiographic abnormalities and training age of athletes in Port Harcourt, Nigeria. A cross sectional descriptive study was carried out on a total of 170 athletes consisting of 63males and 107 females (16-35years of age). Their training ages were documented and the athletes were grouped into 3: Group 1 are athletes that have been training for 1-5years; group 2 : 6-10years and group 3 from 10 years and above. Anthropometric measurements and heart rates were determined. Physical examination was conducted to exclude the presence of associated co-morbidities. Electrocardiographic parameters were determined using a standard resting 12-lead electrocardiogram. Maladaptive ECG changes were determined using the Seattle criteria. Results showed that the training ages of athletes negatively correlated significantly with heart rate(R=-0.24; P=0.001) and T-axis (R=-0.24; P=0.01). Also training age positively correlated significantly with QRS- Interval (R=0.16; 0.03) and QT- Interval (R= 0.22; 0.001). Athletes in group 3 (training age > 10years) recorded a significantly higher percentage of the occurrence of repolarization abnormality (ꭕ2 =5.50; p= 0.04). In addition, being a female and increased training age, are the significant predictors of the occurrence of a maladaptation. (Odd ratio=4.38; p=0.003 and odd ratio = 1.14; p=0.03 respectively). The abnormal electrocardiographic changes found in this study may be due to some physiological maladaptation resulting from prolonged training age and possibly sex variation. These maladaptations are suggestive of risk factors for possible sudden cardiac death.

The main aim of this study is to examine the variables that affect the profitability of GCC banks. The current study provides evidence of important bank-specific variables that have affected GCC banks' profitability by analyzing balanced panel data for 2011 to 2018. Data pertaining was extracted from the annual reports of the selected listed banks. This paper puts into relief the determinants of the profitability of the commercial banking sector of the GCC. The sample compresses 20 GCC banks. The paper examines internal variables (company-level indicators), which include adequacy, liquidity, credit risk, efficiency cost, net credit facilities and bank size. Panel data regression analysis is used for the analysis. Based on the empirical analysis, the cost efficiency, nontraditional revenue sources, and high asset quality are the most significant bank-specific variables, and bank managers that can use them to make future policy decisions. The model generated in the study can explain a greater than 75% change in the total variance of various measures of profitability. This paper adds to the body of knowledge by empirically highlighting the most recent and extensive panel data for the entire banking sector of the GCC. The paper uses a range of independent variables for the internal -specific variables.

The sharp rise in price of diagnosis and treatment today indicates the need for a change in health care strategy. The existing health care strategy leads to its bankruptcy amid a steady increase in morbidity. We suggest to develop an alternative strategy based on a pure natural approach, namely, the thermodynamics conception of health. A living organism can be considered as a system of open thermodynamics, the stability of which depends on its energy potential. In this case, when an individual leaves the aerobic energy potential of the biosystem (12 MET for men and 10 MET for women), the entropy due to evolution increases with the subsequent development of pathology. By the alternative of existent strategy of healthcare as a fight against pathology there is counteraction of entropy. An organizational form of counteraction of entropy is measures aimed at the maintenance of aerobic energy potential of the bio system within bounds of “safe” zone of health.

Background: Wound healing is the process of repair that follows injury to the skin and other soft tissues. It is a natural restorative response to tissues injury. In the primitive years a lot of substances were considered to be medicinal and were used to enhance wound size contraction and closure. Similarly, the Iwere people of Delta State, Nigeria are known for using Achantina fulica species shell for wound healing although there is no known empirical study showing its ability to enhance wound contraction. Thus, this study was aimed at assessing the wound healing effect of powdered snail shell of Achantina fulica species on the wound sizes of rat. Materials and Methods: Eight wistar rats were used and grouped into experimental and control groups. Paravertebral round wound of 2cm were made on the skin of each rat under light chloroform anesthesia. The wounds were treated with powdered snail shell and 0.9% normal saline for the experimental and control group respectively. Wound sizes were measured everyday using a meter rule before redressing. Results and Discussions: Day 1, 2, 3, showed percentage reduction of 100%, 99% 92. 5% for those of the experimental group while 99%, 94% and 90% for those of the control group. On day 4, the percentage reduction was 72% for the experimental while 86% for the control group. This was the first outstanding wound size reduction observed in rats dressed with powdered snail shell. The wound size reduction continued from day 5- 12 with a percentage reduction of 61.5%, 50%, 40%, 34%, 26.5%, 24%, 15%, 9% for the experimental group while that of the control group was 86%, 76.5%, 65%, 63.7% 57.5%, 55%, 5 1.5%, 47.5%, 42.5%. Conclusion: The wounds treated with powered snail shell by day 13 was completely healed while those on 0.9% normal saline took 21 days to heal. It suggests that the powdered Achantina fulica shell promoted the wound size contraction which further led to a rapid healing and wound closure earlier than the control in the study. It could be inferred that this Achantina fulica shell powder could be refined and used as an alternative substance for wound healing.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the role of the incubation temperature of papuyu fish eggs (Anabas testudinius Bloch 1792) to obtain the ratio of female fish seeds. This research was conducted for 3 months starting from March 2019 until May 2019, at the Wet Laboratory of Lambung Mangkurat University, South Kalimantan Province. Fertilized Climbing Perch eggs are incubated at 20oC, 22oC, 24oC, and 26oC at 12 incubators (small box) with a stocking density of 25 eggs during incubation are observed and calculated the hatchability of eggs after the larvae hatch then cooling down the incubator is stopped. This study uses a completely randomized design (CRD) with 4 treatments and 3 replications, so that it will produce 12 experimental units. The results of analysis of variance (ANOVA) hatchability ranging from 90.67 to 100% had no significant effect. This study shows that the incubation temperature of papuyu fish eggs gives an effect on the female genital ratio of papuyu with the highest sex ratio in treatment C (24oC) of 100% and the lowest in treatment D (26oC) of 65.61% .The DMRT test results show that the sex ratio treatment C with D was significantly different also treatment A with D was different while other treatments were not significantly different.

Background: A positive behavior as well as attitude of the dental students can be improvised during their undergraduate studies and thereby it is considered as an essential factor as they can further promote the oral self-care habits of their patients and hence the society in general. Objectives: The primary objective of the present study is to relate the oral health knowledge, attitude, as well as practice with the periodontal status of the undergrad¬uate dental students. Materials and Methods: The data were collected through a combination of clinical examination and self-reported questionnaire. The estimated sample size was 234. The probing depths as well as the clinical attachment loss were measured in the interproximal sites, while the gingival index was calculated on the basis of Ramfjord index teeth. Classification by the CDC and the American Academy of Periodontology was used for periodontal diagnosis. The subjects were divided into three groups. Results: The dental students participated in study were 299. Moreover, significant differences were found among the three groups in their oral health knowledge, attitude, and practice scores. The gingival disease was detected in around 99.3-99.9% and periodontitis in about 60% of the dental students irrespective of its severity. Hence a positive correlation has been established between the oral health knowledge and attitude as well as oral hygiene prac¬tice. Conclusions: Present study highlighted need in order to improve the oral health knowledge, attitude, and practice of dental students. The gingival as well as the periodontal inflammation was highly prevalent among the participants.

Il est une évidence opportune aujourd'hui de clamer la nécessité d'aborder la consolidation et l'enrichissement des dispositions encadrant la pratique "normale" du commerce en République Démocratique du Congo avant d'envisager les prétentions d'harmonisation et d'adaptation aux nouvelles technologies. Il ressort de l'irruption de l'internet, une réalité de développement sans précédent des transactions modifiant considérablement la perspective traditionnelle du commerce classique en le plongeant dans un mode électronique inhabituel, virtuel et ouvert. Internet ouvert à tous les coins et recoins du monde se retrouve soumis aux lois quels qu'en soient l'ordre juridique. De ce fait, nous conviendrons qu'internet n'est pas à l'ombre du droit d'autant plus qu'il est soumis à une pléthore des règles juridiques parfois distinctes mais, qui de concert avec certaines conventions sont promptes à circonscrire l'univers virtuel qu'il incarne. D’où il s'avère impérieux que les Etats du monde s'avisent à harmoniser leurs législations respectives pour une meilleure règlementation du cyberespace.
