Dyslipidemia is a common finding in patients with thyroid disease, explained by the adverse effects of thyroid hormones
in almost all steps of lipid metabolism. Clinical hypothyroidism, through different mechanisms, are associated with lipid
alterations, mainly concerning total and LDL cholesterol and less often HDL cholesterol, triglycerides, lipoprotein (a),
apolipoprotein A1, and apolipoprotein B. In addition to quantitative, qualitative alterations of lipids have been also
reported, including atherogenic and oxidized LDL and HDL particles. In thyroid disease, dyslipidemia coexists with
various metabolic abnormalities and induce insulin resistance and oxidative stress via a vice-vicious cycle. The above
associations in combination with the thyroid hormone induced hemodynamic alterations, might explain the increased risk
of coronary artery disease, cerebral ischemia risk, and angina pectoris in older, and possibly ischemic stroke in younger
patients with overt or subclinical hyperthyroidism. This article presents a correlation study between hypothyroidism, Apo
B and Apo A. It has been found that the 55 subjects enrolled in this study show a significant correlation between TSH
and Apo B.

Lupus podocytopathy is a recently described phenomenon characterized by diffuse foot process effacement without
peripheral capillary wall immune deposits and glomerular proliferation. It has been described in systemic lupus
erythematosus patients with nephrotic syndrome in case reports and a few series. The term of lupus podocytopathy
denotes that it as lupus nephritis-related phenomenon, however, the theory of coexisting minimal change disease is also a
possibility. Each theory has its own supporting clinical and pathological facts. This literature review is made for a
comprehensive analysis of the available clinical circumstances and histological data of the reported cases. Also, it
elaborates on the pathological background for both diseases process. The aim of this review is to reach an optimum

Background: Pertussis is a life-threatening type of infection in non-immune infants younger than six months of age.
Vaccination of pregnant women with tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis vaccine (Tdap) may facilitate the transfer of
maternal antibodies to the fetus, this method may provide protection against pertussis in these newborns. This study will
examine the seroprevelance of Bortedella pertussis antibodies in pregnant Saudi females. Methods: This is a crosssectional study in which 258 pregnant females of different age groups in the second and third trimesters who underwent
antenatal checkups at King Saud University Medical city, Riyadh, between April 2017 and March 2018 were enrolled.
Serum levels of B. pertussis antibody were measured using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) technique.
Results: From 258 blood samples,234(90.69%) females between 28 and 45 years of age were non immune to
pertussis,12(4.6%) showed borderline immunity, and 12(4,6%) were immune. Conclusion: The majority of tested
pregnant Saudi females were non-immune to B.Pertussis despite the expanded Saudi program of immunization (which
recommends that the last dose of DTap be given to preschool-age children). This study emphasizes the importance of
implementation of Tdap vaccination program in pregnant Saudi females.

In light of faltering sustainability in growth and development in Nigeria, this study evaluates the Micro Finance Banks
Sectoral influence on the development of the Nigerian Economy over the period of 1992 to 2017, utilizing secondary data
culled from the Central bank of Nigeria Statistical Bulletin and the World Bank. The study employed the use of
Stationarity, Multiple Regression, Johansen’s Co-integration and Error Correction estimates. While the Co-integration
results indicated significant long run relationship among the study variables, the Multiple Regression and Vector Error
Correction estimates both point to Apportioned Microcredit to mining/quarrying, real estate/construction and
transport/general commerce sectors as the sectoral microcredit that significantly influence Nigeria’s human development
index both in the short and long terms respectively. Only Apportioned Microcredit to the mining/quarrying, real
estate/construction and transport/general commerce sectors are valuable in predicting variations in economic
development as captured by Human Development Index. In light of the above, it was thus recommended that other
sectoral activities should be revamped according to their level of insignificance as more efforts should be devoted to the
Agricultural sector, manufacturing sector and other sectors of the economy and there should be incentive to sensitize the
populace about microfinancing which would bolster deposit based and help disbursement in the right direction,
promotion of economic, political and social stability amongst others

Objectives: The study aimed to evaluate the prevalence and patterns of impacted and transmigrated canine and associated
pathologies in a dental population. Methods: The panoramic radiographs of 5531 patients [1820 (32.9%) male and 3711
(67.1%) female] who attended to several dental clinics between August 2018 and January 2019 were retrospectively
evaluated. The number, position, impaction and transmigration of canine were noted. An impacted canine was diagnosed
to be transmigrated when at least part of its length had crossed the midline. The presence of other coexisting anomalies
was also noted. Results: A total of 388 patients (7.0%) presented with at least one impacted tooth. The most common
impacted canines were in the maxilla among 368 (94.8%) patients, while 51 (13.1%) patients showed impacted canines in
the mandible. About 32 (8.2%) patients showed both co-existed maxillary and mandibular canine impaction, while 126
(32.5%) impacted canines were bilateral either in the maxilla or in the mandible. Transmigrated canine was observed
among 26 (6.7%) of impacted canine patients. Impaction of other teeth was found among 173 (44.6%) patients. Certain
anomalies were co-existed along with canine impaction in 98 (25.3%) patients. Pericoronal radiolucency was the most
common am-ong 84 (21.6%) patients followed by dentigrous cyst among 23 (5.9%) patients. Other anomalies were
supernumerary teeth among 5 (1.3%) patients, and odontoms in only 1 (0.3%) patient. Conclusions: The prevalence of
impacted teeth was high, and there was a predilection for impacted teeth in the maxilla. Pericoronal radiolucency was
commonly seen in relation to the impacted canines followed by dentigrous cyst.

In today's generation, a gadget becomes an indispensable companion that becomes our means in achieving the goal. This
study determined the use and effects of social media to the values of tertiary school students, which can be used as a basis
for the development of an educational program. A descriptive approach was used wherein the respondents were 80
students of Cagayan State University. A questionnaire was used as a guide which covers the demographic profile,
favorite networking sites, effects, and benefits they obtain from using social media. In general, it is found that the
benefits and effects of social media are significantly related to the values of young adults. Facebook/Messenger, Twitter,
and Instagram are the top three social media sites used by the students. Majority of the student respondents strongly
agreed that their day is not complete if they do not open their social media accounts, but overall social media has an
excellent effect on the students. In terms of benefits they get from social media, it garnered a 4.252 over-all mean, which
implies that most of the respondents obtain excellent benefits from using social media. As to the values of young adults,
there is a significant impact on the students, especially in academic purposes and real-life lessons. It is therefore
recommended that students should be introduced to sites that can add values to their academic work and research.

10.21276/jaep.2019.3.6.3
Introduction: According to the characteristics of the service industry of the teaching archivists, an index system for the
evaluation of the service quality of teaching archivists is established. By using the intuitionistic fuzzy set theory, the
subjective evaluation information of the investigated object is converted into the intuitionistic fuzzy numbers. Based on
the score function of the intuitionistic fuzzy set, a bidirectional projection-based multiple attribute decision making
method with intuitionistic fuzzy numbers is developed. Through the bidirectional projection measure between each
alternative decision matrix and the ideal alternative matrix, all the alternatives can be ranked to select the best one.
Finally, an illustrative example related about the service quality evaluation of the teaching archivists demonstrates the
application of the proposed method.
