The present study has been carried out to determine the direction of the nutrient foramina in adult human forearm bones. The nutrient foramina are cavities that conduct the nutrient arteries and the peripheral nerves. The nutrient artery provides the main source of blood supply to the long bones. The present study was done on 114 adult human forearm bones comprising 57 radii and 57 ulnae to observe direction of nutrient foramina and our result shows that 100% of nutrient foramina in radii and ulnae directed away from growing end. We can conclude from the result the nutrient foramen is directed towards the upper end of forearm bones.

Diabetes Mellitus is a metabolic disorder char¬acterized by the presence of chronic hyperglycemia ac¬companied by alterations in the carbohydrate, protein, and lipid metabolisms. It has become a global epidemic, the complications of which have a significant bearing on the quality of life and longevity of an individual. Long standing hyperglycemia which is unattended can results in widespread multisystem damage in the form of retinopathy, neuropathy, nephropathy, macrovasular disease, and delayed wound healing. This article intends to put forth a complete review on the oral manifestations as a sequle of diabetes mellitus

Using the precipitation data of the sixteen stations in the south of the Yangtze River from 1955 to 2009, this paper calculated the drought index of each month and analyzed the change characteristics of the Station Proportion of Drought Frequency and the Drought Intensity based on the Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI). The results have shown that the drought tendency increased at different degrees in annual scale, and the main drought types are Spring Drought and Autumn Drought with the increasing trends on season scale. Meantime, the Summer Drought trend decreased, and the Winter Drought was considerable variation. As far as the space variation characteristics are concerned, the southwest region is the worst drought area, the southern region comes second, and the central and the eastern part are not so severe. As a drought index, SPI can well reflect a Regional Drought feature.

Mandibular high condylar fracture is still challenging task for oral maxillofacial surgeon to go for open reduction and internal fixation. Due to the complex anatomy of temporomandibular joint. Most surgeon prefer closed reduction for such fractures. However, some prefer opening and fixing it in correct form and position to achieve appropriate function. Some cases require fixation of the fracture segment outside the socket and refixation with the rest segment which is termed as extracorporeal fixation. Hereby we present a similar case report of 21-year-old male with difficulty in opening and closing mouth and DE arranged occlusion following road traffic accident. On radiographic investigation medially displaced right high condyle and left sub condylar fracture was detected and open reduction and internal fixation was done by extracorporeal fixation of right segment and normal fixation of left segment. extracorporeal fixation is an effective method for management of displaced and dislocated condylar fracture to achieve proper form and function

During 5th & 6th century BC, sweet taste of urine in polyuric patient was described in Sanskrit (Indian) literature by Susruta, charaka, Vagbhata and the disease was named “Madhumeha”. They described that the urine of these patients tasted like honey (madhu), sticky to touch and Ants were strongly attracted to it. To correlate the blood sugar level with clinical manifestation of diabetic peripheral neuropathy in type 2 diabetes mellitus. The study includes all type 2 diabetic patients who attended the department of medicine, ADICHUNCHANAGIRI INSTITUTE OF MEDICAL SCIENCES. This study period was from JANUARY 2016 to DECEMBER 2016 with 100 sample size. Majority of patients were in the age group > 70years. Out of 100 patients studied, 50 patients were male and 50 patients were females. Peripheral neuropathy was more commonly seen in male (42 cases) compared to female (37 cases). Increased duration of diabetes had significant relation to Neuropathy. Out of the 100 diabetic neuropathy patients 18 patients had good control (18%) and 28 patients had fair control (28%) and 54 patient had poor control of blood sugars (54%). Symptoms pertaining to the involvement of the nervous system due to diabetes mellitus were further analyzed in all 100 cases. Sensory involvements were seen in 72 cases and motor involvement in 31 cases. Diabetic neuropathy is common complication of Diabetes mellitus. It is generally considered to be related to duration and severity of hyperglycemia, usually more than 50% of patients with the duration of diabetes of 25yrs or more are affected, making it as the most common disease of Nervous system. It is well known that Diabetes mellitus is rising in an epidemic proportion in Indian subcontinent, prevalence of Diabetic Neuropathy in type -2DM of this country was reported to be 17 to 19% and that of Automatic Neuropathy of 35% of peripheral neuropathy cases.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in adults all over the world. While other major causes of non-cancer mortality such as coronary artery disease and stroke have shown a consistent downward trend, COPD is the only one that continues to increase [1]. In the present study, Majority of patients were in the age group 61-70years. Out of 50 patients studied, 34 patients were male and 16 patients were females. Most of the patients are farmers by occupation followed by beedi worker and factory worker. Cough was present in 92% of patients, sputum production in 96% of patients, breathlessness in 88% of patients, weakness and fatigue was present in 54 % of patients and swelling of lower limbs in 30% of patients. Among 50 patients, 64% of patients were smokers and 36% were non-smokers. 82% of patients had use of accessory muscles of respiration, 52% patients had barrel shaped chest, chest movements were found to be minimal in 64% patients, rhonchi was present in 62% patients, crepitations were heard in 90% patients and clinical signs of pulmonary hypertension were present only in 36% patients.70% patients were found to have severe pulmonary hypertension, 28% had moderate pulmonary hypertension and mild pulmonary hypertension was present in 2%patients. Diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension in patients with COPD is difficult because patients diagnosed with COPD, and are stable, do not routinely undergo right heart catheterization – which makes PH more difficult to detect. In addition, the symptoms of both diseases are easily mistaken as the. While it is difficult to determine the prevalence of COPD with pulmonary hypertension, early detection can improve treatment and quality of life

With the ever-growing preference of the WCDMA technology, poor signal quality continues to affect the performance of 3G network. The paper uses a Solution Algorithm Embedded in a System Program (SAESP) to improve signal quality in the WCDMA network. This was done by characterizing the radio environment to identify factors that affected the Quality of Service (QoS). The parameters that triggered network snags were used to model a software based intelligent system which was done in an algorithmic approach. The result from the Solution Algorithm Embedded in a System Program (SAESP) showed an improvement of 33.60% on the signal quality of the test route.

Within the space of sports games, more particularly in the physical practices where participants interact operative way with others. This is particularly the case in team sports (football, basketball, volleyball, rugby, baseball, Futsal, Beach soccer...) or traditional Tunisian sports games (mini goals, 7 holes, elagfa,...) analysis by Allen Ali [1], during of which the players of a team communicate unambiguous with their partners but contre-communiquent not without malice with opponents. The purpose of our study is to show the effect of the specificity of the environment according to the rules of each sport Futsal and beach soccer on the certainty of decision-making during communications for inter and intra participated in competitive situations high level. The methodology used being an analysis of six matches, including three of the last World Cup of Futsal 2016 in Colombia and three of the last World Cup of beach soccer 2017 in the Bahamas. These analyses have come up as a result that the environment affects the shape of the sport as well as the practice environment is a determinant of practical identity during the decision-making process and affects the certainty of results.

In this study I aimed at analyzing the use of allegorical names and ironical names as techniques of depicting characters, settings and developing themes in Kiswahili novel, Ua La Faraja [1]. This study was guided by Structuralism theory. Structuralists view language as an independent structure. It is governed by its rules and principles. Language is a system which constitutes elements that are interelated. For example, the real meaning of a sentence emanates from a combination of its constituent elements such as nouns, adjectives, verbs and adverbs. Structuralists like Scholes posit that it is important to use Structuralism to analyse literary works because language and literature are related. The use of structuralism enables us to look at a literary work as a system with interrelated elements like: form and themes which make it complete. Data collection was done in the library. The selected novel and related literature were read with an aim of analyzing the use names. Data was extracted, categorized and analyzed to establish how the author of the selected novel used characters and settings with allegorical names and ironical names. It was established that allegorical names were used more than ironical names. These findings show that the author of the selected novel prefers the use of allegorical names more than ironical names. Also, It was established that settings and characters with allegorical names and ironical names have been used to develop other themes which are outside the meaning of their names. The findings of this research will benefit literary critics, authors, teachers and Kiswahili students in Secondary and even Universities in analyzing the use of allegorical and ironical names in literary work like plays, short stories and novels.

Currently, the Internet is considered as the largest medium and the most important tool for transferring and exchanging information. Besides the benefits and facilities of this "worldwide web", the possibility of crime occurrence has been doubled. Offenses which are now threatening citizens' safety, behavior and welfare, did not exist in the past at all. The present study investigates properties and factors which double the risk and damage of internet crimes. Findings revealed that on one hand internet crimes have unique characteristics such as global aspect, ease of perpetration, extent of damage, multiplicity of victims and crime detection-related issues and the like and on the other hand, internet criminals and victims differ from other criminals and victims in terms of age, gender, motivation and others.

Concrete, the most common construction material which has less tension capacity. And, a light weight concrete has many application in construction industry now a days due to its provision of less dead load, improvement for seismic structural response, suitability for transporting, and handling economically. Reinforcing material such as natural fiber, can be used to increase crack control and ductility by reducing the tendency of brittleness of concrete. The objective of this study was to evaluate the density, and tensile strength with its correlation with compressive strength of normal weight and lightweight concrete produced when incorporating with sugarcane bagasse fiber. The study has great significance in developing new advanced concrete product which has reduced density and high ductility with reduced crack. Furthermore, the usage of sugarcane in construction can reduce of environmental pollution. Sugarcane fibers extracted from bagasse by manually was used in volume fraction of 0%, 0.5%, 1.0%, and 1.5% in terms of weight of cement in mix with average fiber length of 25mm. In this study, lightweight aggregate (scoria) was used by replacing the normal weight aggregate by 50% and semi-lightweight concrete achieved. In order to obtain the output of the objective of the study, total of 48 cubes, 48 beams, and 48 cylinder specimens was prepared, and the tests performed on 7th and 28th days curing period. As result of the testing showed that the increase of fiber decreased the unit weight of concrete with light weight aggregate, but it is not uniform for normal weight concrete. The optimum value containing addition of sugarcane bagasse fiber is 0.5% due to flexural and split tensile strength with a little impact on compressive strength. Therefore, the use of sugarcane fiber in concrete is suitable for addition that do not exceed 0.5% of the concrete mixture.
