Urinary tract infections are defined as the spectrum of diseases of the genito urinary tract by micro organisms. The risk of urinary tract infection (UTI) is higher in diabetics and the antibiotic resistance of uropathogens have been changing over the past few years. Hence, the study was undertaken to determine the prevalence of various uropathogens and their antibiotic sensitivity pattern in diabetic patients with UTI. Methods: Clean voided midstream urine was collected, & inoculated on Blood Agar (BA) and McConckey Agar (MA), and incubated at 37OC overnight for visible growth. Results: Out of 120 diabetic patients, 75 patients (30 males and 45 females) were found to have culture positive UTI. The rate of isolation of Klebsiella species (50%) was highest, followed by Escherichia coli (16.6%), Staphylococcus aureus (16.6%), Coagulase negative Staphylococcus (12.5%) and Citrobacter species (4%). All the isolated organisms showed maximum sensitivity to Carbapenems and least susceptibility to Norfloxacin and Nitrofurantoin. Conclusion: High blood glucose is the main cause of UTI among diabetics. Therefore, isolation of pathogens in diabetic patients with UTI is important to initiate appropriate antibiotic therapy and to prevent renal complications

Choriocarcinoma is a malignant proliferation of the trophoblastic epithelium, not including chorionic villi but permanent vascular invasion. It is a rare tumor, most often of gestational origin, occurring in 75% of cases after a molar pregnancy. Choriocarcinoma in postmenopausal period is very rare however some cases of choriocarcinoma developing after a long latency period from the last pregnancy have been reported. We report an original case of a postmenopausal woman with non-gestational endometrial choriocarcinoma occurring 14 years after menopause. There are no well-defined guidelines for the treatment of postmenopausal choriocarcinomas. Their prognosis is very unfortunate, yet it has changed completely, from 19% to 90% survival since the onset of chemotherapy

Objectives: The aim of this study is to compare two different methods in identifying significant bacteriuria. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted for a period of three months from January to March 2019. Urine samples received to Clinical Microbiology Laboratory were subjected to Standard loop technique and Pour plate technique.104 CFU/ml was considered as significant bacteriuria. Statistical analysis was made by chi-square test. Results: Out of 300 urine samples, 87 samples were shown to have Significant Bacteriuriaby Standard loop technique, 91 samples were shown to have Significant Bacteriuria by Pour plate technique. The Escherichia coli accounts for (30%) of isolates causing Significant Bacteriuria followed by Proteus species (17%), Enterococcus species (16%), and Pseudomonas species (14%). Male preponderance was observed over females. The Pour plate technique was found to be most sensitive method in identifying significant Bacteriuria. Conclusion: The Pour plate technique was observed to be the sensitive method in identifying significant bacteriuria compared to standard loop technique. Escherichia coli showed the highest rate of isolation [1]. Multi-drug resistance is seen in Klebsiella species.

Beta thalassemia is one among the commonest hereditary haemolytic disorders that result from defective synthesis of haemoglobin and ineffective erythropoiesis. Very less data is available in the early identification of renal involvement in patients with thalassemia. Renal impairement in thalassemic patients may be due to chronic anemia, chronic hypoxia, iron overload and iron chelators toxicity. The objective of the study was to estimate renal parameters in pediatric age group with transfusion dependent beta thalassemia major and to correlate the outcome with the degree of iron overload. The study consists of 30 diagnosed cases of beta thalassemia major aged between 3-18 yrs admitted in Vani Vilas Hospital attached to BMC&RI, Bangalore and 30 healthy age and sex matched controls. Blood samples were analyzed for hemoglobin, serum urea, creatinine and spot urine sample for microalbumin. Data analysis was done by Pearson’s Correlation analysis and Student’s t test. Mean age of cases was 8.9 years (SD=4.14) among whom 50% were females and 50% were males. Mean age of controls was 9.06 years (SD=3.5). Mean hemoglobin levels were decreased significantly (p<0.01) in cases when compared to controls. Mean urinary microalbumin excretion was significantly increased (p<0.01) in cases as compared to controls and positively correlated with duration of chelation, suggesting renal damage. Therefore microalbuminuria is important to assess the risk of renal dysfunction in these patients.

Medicinal plants have played a key role in world health. Plants and their products have been used since time immemorial as principal ingredients of various traditional medicines. It has been the mainstay of many traditional cultures for their low cost and wide accessibility in addition to their preventive and therapeutic value. The aim of this research was to evaluate the antioxidant and antibacterial activity of T. catappa methanolic leaf extract and its fractions. The antioxidant activity was determined using DPPH radical scavenging activity using varied concentrations (31.25-500µg/ml) of different extracts and fractions then 100µl of purified water at absorbance of 515nm using ELISA plate reader. Ascorbic acid was used as a standard. The antibacterial activity was evaluated by determining the MIC and MBC of different fractions at different concentration. The results of the study indicated the presence of major phyto-compounds like alkaloids, steroids, phenolics and saponins. It also showed that the ethyl acetate and n-butanol fractions of the leaf of T. Catappa possess the highest significant scavenging activity against DPPH• (64.02% at 250μg/ml and 62.43% at 500 μg/ml respectively). Moreover, total phenolics concentration equivalent to gallic acid was found to be up to 70 mg/g for the ethyl acetate fraction, which correlated with antioxidant activity. The result of the antibacterial study showed evidence that, the methanol leaf extract of T. Catappa possess antibacterial activity and N. butanol portion has the highest activity. In conclusion this study showed that the methanol extract and fractions of the leaf of T. Catappa have demonstrated significant antioxidant and antibacterial activities but further study is recommended to ascertain the compounds responsible for their antioxidant activity.

The epithelial tumors of the ovary are very varied in nature, they often pose difficult diagnostic problems: on the one hand to assert their organicity so as not to overtreat a functional lesion and on the other hand to appreciate their benign or malignant nature. Among them, we can mention the ovarian fibroma which is a rare tumor representing less than 1% of all ovarian tumors. Cases of cystic degeneration of this fibroma simulating ovarian cancer are described in the literature. We report a case of this type of degeneration affecting ovarian fibroma and taken for ovarian cancer, despite the explorations in medical imaging, but considering the appearance of the mass and the absence of peritoneal carcinomatosis at the exploratory laparotomy, a Limited excision was recommended pending the results of the pathological examination in the diagnosis of this malformation. Through this observation, we will analyze the symptomatology of this clinical form which mistakenly mimics an ovarian cancer and also discuss the interest of ultrasound and the determination of tumor markers in the diagnostic approach as well as the therapeutic attitude to adopt in this clinical form

Antioxidant is a molecule which inhibits the oxidation reaction. The antioxidants terminate the chain reaction which is caused by the free radicals of oxidation reaction and thereby prevent the cell damage or cell death. Antioxidants are safe, efficacious and widely available. However, there is still a lack of randomized controlled trials in dental research limits the usage of antioxidants. This article highlights the significance of antioxidant therapy.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the production costs of a fish farming business carried out by oil palm and rubber farmers in the village of Bencah Kelubi who have become alternative livelihoods for farmers and utilize existing natural resources (catfish innards) as raw material for feed (pellets) to support the business fish farming in ponds. This study uses survey and experimental research methods, namely conducting surveys of internal and external conditions that affect fish farming businesses; while the experiment was carried out by conducting an experiment in processing catfish offal solid waste into fish feed raw material. The appropriate strategy for developing catfish farming business in the village of Bencah Kelubi is to create a hatchery unit to produce seeds, creating catfish culture technology with appropriate applications

Background: The quality and discrimination of sound depends on the shape of the pinna. The auricle exhibits wide variations particularly in its shape and the rolling of helix to such an extent that right and left ears of an individual differ. Aim: To determine different shapes of the external ear and the degree of concavity of helix. Materials and methods: 90 dental students participated in the study after an informed consent. The external ears of both sides were observed for variations in the shape and rolling of helix. The results were tabulated and compared with other studies. Results: Oval shaped external ears were the most common forms observed, 58.33% in males and 58.97% in females. The values were compared with other studies and the decreasing order of frequency of ear shapes was oval, triangular, round and rectangular. The concavity of helix was studied. 66.66% males and 60.25% females possessed normal helix followed by wide helix covering scapha, flat helix and concave marginal helix in that order in males but females possessed concave marginal helix in more numbers as compared to wide helix covering scapha. Conclusion: The four different shapes of the external ear were oval, triangular, round and rectangular in the decreasing order of frequency. Oval shape is the most common as correlated with other studies. Four varieties of rolling of helix were observed -normal rolling, wide concavity covering scapha, flat helix and marginal concavity helix. The order of frequency showed gender variation.

Introduction: As a new media, WeChat has both negative and positive effects on college students. This paper first analyzes the developmen status of WeChat in the population and the characteristics of college students' social interaction. Then we conducted a survey on the use of WeChat by college students of Anyang Normal University, focusing on the reasons, duration, WeChat main newsletter, communication of WeChat, and the discrimination between the true and false of WeChat information. We discuss the positive and negative impact of WeChat on college students. Finally, in view of the negative influence of WeChat, we give the corresponding strategic measures from three levels: college students themselves, universities, and university educators, so that college students can overcome and avoid the negative effects of WeChat, so as to better grow into talents.

Background: Analyse the congenital malformations, involving various systems of the body systemwise & their association with maternal age and parity. Methods: This was a hospital-based cross-sectional study conducted at government maternity hospitals, Hyderabad over a period of one year months from October 2011 2015 to September 2012. All women attending Antenatal Clinic were screened by ultrasound examination. Foetuses of pregnant women were screened by clinical and ultrasonographic evaluation (12wks to 28wks). Results: The central nervous system and the musculoskeletal system topped the list with 16 cases (26.66%) out of total 60 cases. 11 cases of central nervous system belongs to 21-25 years age. Conclusion: Anomalies were most likely to be in the central nervous system. Maternal history of previous congenital anomalies, parental consanguinity, and history of medical disorders were associated with an increased risk of congenital anomalies. Early diagnosis will prevent mothers from psychological trauma of bearing and rearing an anomalous child.

It is undisputable that by and large, the general citizenry and governments of the Sub-Sahara Africa is of late pretty much come to align higher education to economic assurance than ever before. This has witnessed a considerable increase in the number of institutions of higher learning established and a number of students enrolling into these institutions. It can be deduced that such an increase challenges the quality assurance in its provision. It is therefore imperative for African states to put a great deal of emphasis on quality assurance procedures as they discharge the provision of university education. This paper explores literature on quality assurance procedures in universities in developing countries with particular reference to public and private universities in Tanzania. The perception of quality in university education is first analysed alongside the divert views of quality assurance mechanism, and with the scaling up of the approaches to quality assurance. The paper concludes that universities in developing countries should aim at implementing quality assurance procedures for institutional effectiveness and service and/or programme quality.

The oxidative stress results because of the disturbance in systemic equilibrium of the oxidants and antioxidants. However, when there is increase in the generation of the free radicals such as reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (ROS and RNS respectively), then there is a shift in this systemic equilibrium. Various environmental and lifestyle factors such as pollutants, alcohol consumption, smoking, poor diet and other adverse habits contribute towards the oxidative stress. Oxidative stress can affect systemically (the whole body) as well as locally (in oral soft tissues).Various recent literatures have shown that the oxidative stress and inflammation are predisposing factors for various chronic illnesses, like atherosclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes and periodontitis
