This study was conducted to assess the nurses‟ knowledge & practices regarding crash cart. “Emergency nurses require a
strong knowledge base in every area of nursing during their practices, from pathophysiology to psychology,
pharmacology, policies and procedures, and everything in between” [1]. Drug administration is a fundamental part of
every day in nursing profession. No medication is completely safe and protected in this manner. Therefore, nurses need
to have an intensive and broad knowledge of the medications and its method of organization in the compelling treatment
of patients whose life lies in her grasp [2]. A quantitative descriptive cross-sectional study design was performed to
assess the nurses‟ knowledge and practices regarding crash cart. Data was collected through simple random sampling
technique. I select public health tertiary hospital to collect relevant information and data of my study from nurses
working in it. There are 265 nurses in hospital I selected 160 of them by using sampling technique with 5% estimation
error. The data was analyzed through SPSS 16 version. The results were shown in tables and graphs. The main results
found are,(n= 94) 58.8% participant are respondent medication checked periodically and exchanged based date on expiry,
and (n=66) 41.3% participant are respondent medication not checked periodically and exchanged based date expiry. In
conclusion, I would say the areas of improvement entitle to the nursing staff with increased knowledge, practice and

The crevicular incision is a very simple incision. It has many applications in various surgeries like flap surgery,
apicoectomy, transalveolar extraction, bone biopsy and orthognathic surgery. In the management of fracture mandible, a
routine vestibular incision is used. There are many complications associated with the vestibular incision like infection,
wound dehiscence, mental nerve injury. These postoperative complications are rare with the crevicular incision. Like in
other oral surgeries it can also be used as one of the approach to access fracture in the mandible. It not only provides wide
surgical exposure but simultaneously it gives more visibility to both upper and lower limits of the fracture line. Since this
incision crosses the sulcus of gingiva it can affect the health of gingival tissues. With this question, we planned this study
to find out the outcome of the crevicular incision on periodontal health if used in open reduction & internal fixation. This
study was done on patients with isolated mandibular fractures of symphysis and body region. Comparison of crevicular
incision (study group) with a vestibular incision (control group) was done on the basis of certain periodontal indices
(Gingival index, Pocket probing depth, Clinical Attachment level) which was recorded preoperatively and
postoperatively after 6 weeks, and 12weeks. The results of the current study revealed that well performed ORIF for
fracture mandible by using crevicular incision does not lead to periodontal problems. It showed almost similar long-term
outcomes compared to the vestibular incision in ORIF.

Introduction: Identification of human being is always a problem for scientists and is based upon scientific principles.
Finger prints, dental data, anthropometry & DNA analysis are the tools used for identification purposes. The new arriving
tool in the field of personal identity is cheiloscopy i.e. study of lip prints which are unique for every individual and
behold the potential for identification purpose. If lip prints are found at scene of crime, the presence or absence of a
person can be ruled out from the scene of crime. Aim: The objective of the study was to check for any peculiar lip
patterns in relation to the sex of the individual and determine the most common lip patterns by using Suzuki
&Tsushihashi’s classification. Materials and methods: A study group of 100 undergraduate students (50 males and 50
females) in the age group 18-23 years were chosen randomly from our institute. Non-glossed lip stick color, white bond
paper, cellophane tape, scissors, and magnifying lens were used to obtain lip prints and analyzed with the help of a
personal computer and Adobe photoshop software. The lip print pattern of middle part of lower lip was considered, as it
is visible in almost all the prints. Result: Majority of the study group (28 people -28%) belonged to Type IV and 6 people
(6%) belonged to Type V group. The most common pattern found in female was II, while type IV was predominant
among males. Conclusion: Studies show lip prints have great potential to establish individuality, show gender variation
and remain unchanged forever.

The application of this light energy results in the modification or removal of tissue. Various parameters such as laser
wavelength, energy level, mode of application and tissue characteristics will influence the effect of a particular laser on
the tissue. With the advent of new technology lasers have taken the sheen away from scalpel particularly in most oral
surgical procedures. The advantages of using the laser, however, are balanced by several significant disadvantages.
However, if used safely and properly it can be a great tool to provide a modern and advanced oral health care. This article
emphasizes on the principles of laser science, tissue interaction, types of lasers and their numerous clinical applications in
the oral cavity.

Ranula presents clinically as a painless mucus pseudocyst in the floor of the mouth. They typically grow slowly and may be reported as a cycle of rupture and recurrence. Simple ranulas are mucus walled off above the mylohyoid muscle. Complex or plunging ranulas develop when the mucus extravasation extends through or around the mylohyoid muscle and deeper into the neck. Various treatment modalities have been advocated based on the size and location of the ranula. Deep plunging ranulas can be managed by surgical enucleation of the ranula along with the associated salivary gland or marsupialization whereas simple superficial ranulas can be managed by surgical enucleation or less invasive procedures. Ever since the first therapeutic use by Scott for strabismus till today, the spectrum of therapeutic applications of botulinum toxin has widened. Botulinum toxin offers a transient, reversible, relatively safe treatment option to many conditions of interest in the maxillofacial region. It can be used effectively as well as efficiently as a minimally invasive alternative to conditions which are refractory to routine medical management or require extensive surgical intervention. We present a case of a simple ranula in the floor of the mouth treated by Botulinum toxin efficiently in a non-invasive manner.

Patients with pelvic mass, especially ovarian masses are commonly encountered in gynaecology clinic and this can be either benign or malignant. There is no single method which canaccurately predict ovarian malignancy. Prompt identification of ovarian malignancies and referralto a gynec-oncologist can enhance the patient survival rates. Aim of this descriptive analytical study is to evaluate the Diagnostic accuracy of the Risk of Malignancy Indices (RMI) in discriminating benign and malignant ovarian masses. Patients operated for ovarian masses between January 2017 and December 2017 were included in the study. Data regarding menopausal status, ultrasound findings, serum CA125 level and post op pathology findings were collected and analysed. A score was assigned for ultrasound findings as follows:the presence of multilocular cystic lesions, solid areas, bilateral lesions, ascites and intra-abdominal metastases, scored one point each. A total ultrasound score (U-score) was calculated for each patient. Postmenopausal status was defined as more than one year of amenorrhea, or an age of 50 years or more if the woman had undergone hysterectomy. All other women were considered to be premenopausal. RMI1, RMI 2, RMI 3, RMI 4 were calculated for all patients together with the sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values of the four methods. RMI 1 = U × M × serum CA125, where a total ultrasound score of 0 gave U = 0, a score of 1 gave U = 1 and a score of > 2 gave U = 3; premenopausal status gave M = 1, postmenopausal M = 3. The serum level of CA125 was multiplied directly into the formula. RMI 2 = U × M × serum CA125, where a total ultrasound score of 0 or 1 gave U = 1 and a score of > 2 gave U = 4;

10.21276/sb.2019.5.3.2
Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) Theory and Arbitrage Pricing Theory (APT) had been known as two theories that most well-known in asset pricing in the capital market until now besides the Fama and French Factor Model Theories. By using monthly data return from Indonesia stock exchange composite index (IDX Composite) and sectoral stock exchange index (IDX Sectoral) for 5 years from 2013-2017 for APT model, it is known that no one of the economic risk factor in the model that could explain the stock return movement in Indonesia’s capital market. By using the same data for the APT model limited for four sectoral stock price index for the same years, however, the CAPM model could explain the stock return movement in Indonesia’s capital market. Accordingly, the business people in Indonesia’s capital market considered more on the stock price than the sistemic risk of the macroeconomic risks.
