Nasal obstruction (NO) is defined as a single or bilateral nasal breathing disorder, recent or old, permanent or intermittent. It is a frequent problem in pediatrics and underestimated because of the absence of complaint in young children or unknown when the complaint is unilateral [1]. Although the majority of causes of ON belong to the infectious pathology, one must know to think of a syndrome malformative or tumoral [2]. The ON can cause significant troubles both locally and generally [1]. It is necessary to objectify the cause quickly especially in the newborn because of the vital consequences that this obstruction can cause [1].

Dermatoglyphic analysis is one of the most authentic biometric technologies that provides authorized certification of identification. The present prospective study involves 114 female nursing students on an attempt to find out a correlation between the fingerprint pattern and ABO blood group system. It is a double-blind study wherein attentive supervision were done while examining the blood groups and collecting the fingerprints. The results unveil the fact that all the patterns are distinctive. The count of samples is far more in blood group „A‟, „B‟ and „O‟ as and when compared to that of „AB‟. Based on the prevalence of palmar sequences, loops are found to be the most common pattern, followed by whorls and arches. A further in-depth study suggests that the incidence of loops was more in the thumb, middle and little finger whereas whorls are prevalent in the index finger of A, B, and O blood group of both the hands. Definitely, a close association is found between the palmar patterns and individual digits of the left and right hand with the blood groups.

The malignant hyperthermia is a rare autosomal dominant disease of the skeletal muscles. Triggered by volatile anesthetics and succinylcholine which leads to excess release of calcium from sarcoplasmic reticulum that leads to hypermetabolic status of the body and it could be fatal. The incidence between 1:10000 and 1:250000 anesthetics. It is more common in males than females, and the young more than old people. MH cause by mutation in RYR1, CACHA1S or STAC3 genes. Symptoms of MH are muscle rigidity, tachycardia, hypercapnia, hypoxemia and hyperthermia. The symptoms of MH could be mistaken by other conditions and therefore delay the treatment. Treatment is by stopping the triggering agent, symptomatic treatment to prevent complications and the only pharmacological agent that reverses the MH is Dantrolen. IVCT is the gold standard to diagnose MH but it is invasive. Genetic testing is less invasive and also help in diagnosis of MH and identification of the affected gene, but it does not replace IVCT.

Fatigue is often cited as a contributing factor in air incidents and accidents. Usually, the words "fatigue" and "sleepiness" are used by aircrew to describe the same feelings, a questionnaire has been developed for subjective level assessment of fatigue and sleepiness among Moroccan aircrew. A 4-month prospective study including all aircrew (civilian, military) and air traffic controllers was conducted at the Aero-medical center of Rabat during their review visit. The questionnaire included the Pichot scale for fatigue and Epworth scale for sleepiness. It was filled anonymously. Out of more than 400 cards distributed, only 200 were exploitable. 23% of the subjects in the study had moderate fatigue. 6.5% of the sample presented moderate sleepiness and 4.5% had excessive daytime sleepiness. These two states seem to be preponderant in young aircrew population especially cabin crews. The occurrence of fatigue and daytime sleepiness in aircrew especially at the beginning of their career can be explained by the difficulty of adapting to aeronautical constraints. It is important to remember the countermeasures of fatigue to preserve aviation safety

Gender based violence is rising. Bangladesh stands second in the world in terms of violence against women in different forms like women battering, wife beating, domestic and dowry-related violence, acid attack, rape, physical and verbal harassment, fatwa, sexual harassment in the workplace, trafficking and prostitution, polygamy and child abuse. The rate of violence against women has dropped by 4.9 percent in between the years 2011 and 2015. Abusing rate was 87.1 per cent in 2011 which came down to 82.2 percent in 2015 and in the Daily Star newspaper came down to 80 percent in 2016. Around 72.6 per cent of women who are married in Bangladesh experience one or more such forms of violence it the hands of their husbands at least once during their marriage and 49.6 percent of lifelong married women suffered physical violence, 28.7 percent emotional violence, 27.2 percent sexual violence and 11.4 percent financial violence according to the Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics. Gender discrimination also leads to women having less opportunity. The literacy rate for women in Bangladesh is only 43.2%, while 61.0% of Bangladeshi men are literate. The unemployment rate for women is 70.7%, much higher than the 12.4% unemployment rate for men. Most of the victims, around 39.7 percent, of forced or coerced sexual intercourse, are aged between 15 and 19. Child marriage that legitimizes sexual abuse of minors must be stopped immediately. The government should enhance legal and criminal justice systems to prevent further violence and need interventions to change male attitudes.

Thyroid diseases are among the commonest endocrine disorders. Hypothyroidism is an insidious condition in which the thyroid gland does not synthesize enough thyroid hormones to meet metabolic requirement of the body which is associated with subtle and nonspecific symptoms with significant morbidity. Hypothyroidism is the leading cause of several complications the commonest being overweight and obesity. The present study was undertaken to evaluate the BMI at the time of diagnosis in hypothyroid patients and compare with that of normal individuals. A comparative study was conducted, 100 cases of hypothyroidism at the time of diagnosis and 100 controls in the age group of 20-40 years, both Males and Females. BMI was calculated, data of T3, T4 & TSH levels were collected & compared between normal and hypothyroid subjects. It was found that hypothyroid subjects had a higher body mass index than the normal individuals. Hence maintenance of thyroid hormones at normal level and regular monitoring of BMI in Hypothyroid patients will help in early detection and prevention of Obesity and its related complications in future.

The choroidal macular neovascularisation (NVC) of the young subject is a serious condition that threatens visual function. The decrease in marked visual acuity is related to the foveolar or juxta-foveolar localization of the neovessels. The therapeutic management of idiopathic NVC of the young subject is difficult due to frequent recurrences despite the treatment. The use of anti-VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor) represented a turning point in the management of this condition. The intravitreal (IVT) injection of bevacizumab appears to be effective and well tolerated.

The basic aim of our study was to develop and evaluate the polyherbal soap by using different extracts (extracts of neem leaves, papaya leaves, aloe leaves, turmeric and tulsi leaves) having greater antioxidant and antimicrobial potential. Pre-eminently, basic soap was prepared using Coconut oil and NaOH (lye) and the different extracts were incorporated into the basic saponification reaction. The herbal formulation thus prepared was then consigned for the evaluation testing for the analysis of pH, Moisture content, foaming ability, foam retention time, saponification, Total Fatty Matter determination and antimicrobial activity. The results demonstrated that pH 7.5 – 8, moisture contents 8.6%, foam retention time 1.20 minutes, Saponification value was 210.375 mg/ml, 30% TFM for polyherbal soap. Also the evaluation tests showed that the poly herbal soap has satisfactory antimicrobial results as compared to standard antibiotic. Some human infections which are majorly caused due to wounds, acne or blisters; these strains of microorganisms are of greater benefit. Moreover, oils and extracts used are added to treat various skin infections and are perfect for daily usage.
