A chemical injury of the eye presents a genuine, acute emergency and requires immediate evaluation and management. Ocular chemical injury management remains one of the most difficult ocular emergencies. The prognosis for an eye injury depends not only on the severity of the injury but also on the rapidity and mode of initial treatment. Reconstruction of ocular surface following chemical burn by amniotic membrane (AM) for grafting is a very effective technique. AM graft promotes epithelial regeneration and facilitates migration of epithelial cells. Eight years old boy presented with ocular chemical injury by chemical mixed water holi balloon in his left eye. Patient presented with severe pain, excessive watering, with swollen lids and conjunctiva. More than 90% of the cornea surface, whole of the bulbar as well as palpaberal conjunctiva was eroded and whole eye was stained with green colour (chemical). Amniotic Membrane Transplantation (AMT) done under general anesthesia with corneal continuous girdle suture, conjunctival forniceal lid sutures and finally Bandage Contact Lens was applied. Patient had three months follow regular follow up and was clinically asymptomatic.

The aim of this study is to examine the effects of personality traits (Big-Five personality) on both job satisfaction and job performance, and to evaluate how job satisfaction affects job performance in the case of the hospital sector. The collected data from 1200 employees in 52 hospitals in Jordan was analyzed, using structural equation modeling. The study finds out that the conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and openness traits exert positive effects, while neuroticism personality produces a negative effect on job satisfaction. Further, personality traits have a significant correlation with job performance. Job satisfaction has also significant effects on job performance. The empirical analyses yield results consistent with these arguments, personality traits assessed as predictors of job satisfaction and job performance. This study provides guidelines for the hospital sector to emphasize the attribute of employees that could affect and enhance their job satisfaction and performance. Implications for research and practice are correspondingly discussed.

Introduction: There is negative correlation between conduction velocities in both the Median sensory and Ulnar nerves and an individual's height, which likely accounts for the fact that, among most of the adult population, for each inch increase in height conduction velocities between the wrist and digits of an individual's hand decrease by 0.5 m/s. Consequence of it results in, impulse latencies within the Median, Ulnar, and Sural nerves increases with height. There is negative correlation between height and the amplitude of impulses in the sensory nerves. Functions of peripheral nerves and their parameters can be assessed by Nerve conduction studies (NCS). These parameters are known to vary with anthropometric measurements. Objective: To study the effect of height on the NCS variables in the median nerves of the limbs. Material and method: The study was conducted in 196 healthy individuals. The anthropometric parameters like height, weight and BMI were calculated. The compound muscle action potential (CMAP) and the sensory nerve action potential (SNAP) were recorded. Statistical analysis: The correlation of height with the median NCS variables were analysed by using Z test for two samples. Results: After the adjustment of other anthropometric factors, height (161.8673+8.140608) showed negative correlation with conduction velocities of median motor and sensory nerves of both the hands. Conclusion: Height showed a significant negative correlation with the median motor and sensory NCS parameters.

The benzimidazoles skeleton, a category of heterocyclic compounds have important biological and pharmaceutical properties such as antihelminthic, antiulcer, diuretic, anticonvulsant, analgesic, antiulcer, antihypertensive, anticoagulant, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antiviral, antiparasitic and antioxidant. On the other hand, graphene oxide due to their operational simplicity, easy work up and inherent non-toxic, and possessing a wide variety of functional groups, such as epoxy, hydroxyl, and carboxyl, pays an important role in organic synthesis. Therefore, in this chapter graphene oxide was investigated as an efficient catalytic system for the preparation of benzimidazole compounds via the condensation reaction of o-phenylenediamines with aromatic aldehydes in very good yields at ambient temperature. The results in this method were compared with previously reported in literature respectively. Also graphene oxide was recovered and reused without decreasing in its efficacy for 3th runs.

The relationship between breast cancer and thyroid diseases is controversial. Discrepant results have been reported in the literature. The incidences of autoimmune and nonautoimmune thyroid diseases were investigated in patients with breast cancer and age-matched control individuals without breast or thyroid disease. Methods: Clinical and ultrasound evaluation of thyroid gland, determination of serum thyroid hormone and antibody levels, and fine-needle aspiration of thyroid gland were performed in 150 breast cancer patients and 100 control individuals. Results: The mean values for anti-thyroid peroxidase antibodies were significantly higher in breast cancer patients than in control individuals (P = 0.030). The incidences of autoimmune and nonautoimmune thyroid diseases were higher in breast cancer patients than in control individuals (38% versus 17%, P = 0.001; 26% versus 9%, P = 0.001, respectively). Conclusion: Our results indicate an increased prevalence of autoimmune and nonautoimmune thyroid diseases in breast cancer patients. There is always a controversy on the relationship between breast cancer and thyroid disorders. As these tissues, i.e., breast and thyroid, originate embryologically from the same type of cells, hypothyroid/hyperthyroid females are more prone to develop benign or malignant breast tumors. The studies on breast cancer patients indicate increased thyroid disorders in breast cancer patients, most commonly Hashimoto's thyroiditis accounts to increased thyroid disorders in these patients. This is independent of hormonal receptor status of the patient. These findings suggest the usefulness of screening for thyroid disease in any patient with breast cancer.

A new simple, accurate, precise and reproducible RP-HPLC method has been developed for the simultaneous estimation of ibuprofen and famotidine in naturally sweet dispersible pediatric tablets using C 18 column in isocratic mode.

The described HPLC method was successfully employed for the analysis of pharmaceutical formulations containing combined dosage form.

Introduction: Gallbladder tuberculosis (GBTB) is an exceedingly rare finding presenting as calculous or acalculous cholecystitis. A correct, preoperative diagnosis of GBTB is difficult, and the literature review highlights the fact that most cases are diagnosed postcholecystectomy or at postmortem. Discussion: Mycobacterium tuberculosis can affect any part of the gastrointestinal tract from the mouth to the anal canal along with the other organs of the peritoneal cavity, but the gall bladder is unlikely to be primarily involved. The incidence of localization of the tubercular bacilli in the gall bladder is uncommon as the intact gall bladder mucosa is resistant to the bacterium because of the concentrated bile acids present in the organ. The first case of gallbladder tuberculosis (GBTB) was reported in 1870 by Gaucher, and till now, less than 120 cases have been reported in the English medical literature [4, 5].

Puffer fish poisoning remains a severe seafood poisoning condition blamable for numerous human intoxications. Research on puffer fish poisoning enables studying the involvement of puffer fish poisoning in human security. The current study thus intention of investigating whether Arothron hispidus from the south-east coast of India (Palazhyar) cause for the neurodegeneration. Cresyl violet stained sections of the rat brain regions examined for pathological changes in rats treated with A.hispidus toxic extract. We noticed disarrangement and neuron loss in the primary motor area, hippocampus, amygdala, thalamus, temporal lobe, parietal lobe, and cerebellum regions of rats treated with A.hispidus skin extract. Damaged regions directly or secondarily associated with sensory and motor functions, this may cause loss of sensory and motor function. From our observation, we conclude that neuronal loss of a rat's brain treated with skin extract as clear through histopathological analysis, due to the neurotoxic effect of Arothron hispidus.

Introduction: Follicular hyperplasia of the gall bladder is an extremely rare and benign entity characterized by hyperplastic lymphoid follicle with germinal center consisting of the lymphoid population. The lymphoid hyperplasia of the gallbladder is a rare condition, which can be diagnosed only by performing a histological examination. Here, we present the case of a 36-year-old woman with complaints of repeatable pain in the area of the right hypochondrium for a few months. Ultrasonography revealed chronic cholecystitis with a concrement in the lumen. Methods and Materials: We were reported a rare case of follicular hyperplasia of gall bladder in a 36 yrs old female presented into the department of surgery with a right side upper abdomen pain then she was diagnosed as cholecystitis and managed by cholecystectomy and specimen was received and processed for histopathological examination. Results: Due to chronic cholecystitis patient present with right upper abdominal pain and upon histopathological examination diagnosed incidently as follicular cholecystitis. Conclusion: Histopathological examination reveals a rare case of follicular cholecystitis A cholecystectomy was then performed. Histology shows nests of cells with lymphoid origin in the lamina propria, a multitude of lymphoid follicles and areas with pyloric metaplasia in the gallbladder wall. The case presented herein is of reactive lymphoid hyperplasia resembling a lymphoma combined with chronic cholecystitis, pyloric metaplasia, and cholelithiasis.

Introduction: This study aimed to differentiate among the species belonging to the Candida parapsilosis complex, which is one of the leading causes of systemic mycoses through molecular characterisation and to determine their antifungal resistance pattern. Material and Methods: Ninety-five C. parapsilosis complex isolates identified using two yeast identification systems, BioMérieux ID 32C and Vitek 2™ with YST card, were included in this study. Molecular characterisation was achieved by polymerase chain reaction–restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis of the secondary alcohol dehydrogenase gene. Isolates that could not be identified using this technique were identified by internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequencing. Antifungal susceptibility was evaluated using the Vitek 2™ AST-YS06 card. Results: Out of the 95 isolates, 94 were identified as C. parapsilosis sensu stricto, and only one isolate was identified as C. orthopsilosis; the latter result was achieved using ITS sequencing. C. orthopsilosis was susceptible against all tested antifungal agents. Among the C. parapsilosis sensu stricto isolates, three were found to be resistant: one to amphotericin B, two to fluconazole of which one showed intermediate resistance to voriconazole. Discussion: Isolation rates of C. orthopsilosis and C. metapsilosis in this study show that they are rare species. It was not possible to compare resistance among these three species due to very low isolation rates of C. orthopsilosis and C. metapsilosis. The use of molecular identification tests for these species in routine laboratory settings remains controversial. Nevertheless, their isolation rates and antifungal resistance patterns are important from the epidemiological viewpoint.

Introduction: The term gallbladder mucocele refers to an overdistended gallbladder filled with mucoid or clear and watery content. Usually noninflammatory, it results from outlet obstruction of the gallbladder and is commonly caused by an impacted stone in the neck of the gallbladder or in the cystic duct. Case Report: A Patient 27 yrs female came with pain in abdomen to the opd, the patient presented with 3 day history of vomiting and inappetance. The ultrasound was done and chronic cholecystitis with cholelithiasis diagnosis was given and the patients were operated and the laproscopic cholecystectomy specimens were sent to pathology department. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy was performed and the gall bladder was sent for routine histopathological evaluation. The diagnosis of mucocele was made on histopathological examination.

The peculiarity of Kazakh education is manifested in respect for the older generation. Elders of the family-elders pass on their experience and national traditions to the younger generation. But in the modern world with strict requirements to the competitiveness of young professionals, the life experience of elders is not enough. In such a situation, an important role is given to the school teacher as a source of new knowledge and a guide to new areas of knowledge. In this regard, the purpose of this study was to study the role of teachers in one of the rural schools in the South of Kazakhstan. It is shown that the peculiarity of the traditional Kazakh way of life, preserved in rural areas, allows to attract the local population to the educational process by organizing optional activities and intra-school organizations of interest.
