Synovial sarcoma is a translocation associated sarcoma characterized by SS18 – SSX1/2 fusion. It is one of the common adult soft tissue sarcomas predominantly affecting lower extremities. In resource poor settings, exact characterization by molecular methods may not be feasible always. In our study we attempted to study the clinical profile, histomorphology and immunoprofile of cases diagnosed as synovial sarcomas. Forty two cases diagnosed as synovial sarcomas based of presentation, histomorphology and immunopanel were analysed .The median age of presentation was 26 years with male to female ratio of 1.5:1. Majority of the sarcomas were of monophasic type (83%) with predominant hemangiopericytomatous pattern (67%) followed by fascicular pattern (48%). Tumor size was greater in adults older than 20 years when compared to younger age group. Tumors with large areas of calcification were seen with significantly low mitotic index.

The incidence of inguinal hernia is very common especially in older individuals. Often patients are unaware of the presence due to absence of any symptoms unless detected accidentally or detected in those causing presence of pain or other symptoms. The anterior open inguinal hernia repair with mesh was described by Lichtenstein in 1989. This tension free operation has become popular. We in the present study operated on the patients with uncomplicated unilateral inguinal hernia with Lichtenstein tension free technique under Local Anesthesia and Spinal Anesthesia to evaluate their outcomes. Methods: This prospective study was conducted in the Department of General Surgery, Prathima Institute of Medical Sciences, Naganoor, Karimnagar. A total of 74 patients admitted to the hospital with the diagnosis of uncomplicated inguinal hernia were included in the study. They were divided into two groups Group I (LA) included 36 patients and group II [GA] 38 patients. The investigations required as routine for diagnosis and to test the sensitivity to the local anesthetic night before surgery. Lichtenstein tension free hernioplasty is performed irrespective of type of anesthesia. The postoperative pain was measured with the Visual analogue scale (VAS) at 4h, 8h, 12h & 24h. Results: Mean time taken for duration of surgery in LA group is 58.8 + 6.02 minutes & in SA group is 56.6 + 6.74 minutes. P = 0.246 not significant. Mean time spent in operating room in LA group is 68.1 + 6.35 minutes & in SA group is 76.4+6.52 minutes with a significant P value of <0.01. The mean VAS score at 4h, 8h, 12 h, & 24h for LA group was low when compared to the SA group. The maximum VAS score was observed at 8h in both the groups and less in LA group at 3.13 ± 1.26 as compared to SA group 4.31 ± 1.66 at 12 hours also VAS was less in LA at 1.97 ± 1.02 as compared to SA 3.15 ± 1.88. Conclusion: From our study it is observed that Lichtenstein tension free hernioplasty done under local anesthesia offers following several advantages over spinal anesthesia and it is Safer even in the patients with medical comorbidities and on antiplatelet therapy. Therefore local anesthesia may be considered as the anesthesia of choice for Lichtenstein tension free hernioplasty for an uncomplicated, primary, inguinal hernia

The exploration of antibiotic and antiseptic resistance in the hospitals are happened by various reasons including continuous usage of same antiseptics and disinfectants for surface cleaning, inappropriate and misuse of antimicrobials, No follow up of the patients and discontinuation of the course of drugs. This may create a demand for new and long term effective drugs against antibiotic resistance. Comparing to the chemicaly fabricated drugs, metals are considered as the better choice of replacement. From the ancient times, the basic understanding of antimicrobial properties of metal particles like silver, mercury, copper and arsenic are quite available in practice; but their scientific evidences are lacking. Thus this study may provide some information related to the determination of in vitro antibacterial activity of various concentrations of silver solution against several bacterial pathogens isolated from wounds. The evident record of this study highlighted that 10-2 mM silver solution showed maximum bactericidal effect on Staphylococcus aureus, Providencia rettigeri and Pseudomonas aeruginosa with 17mm, 16mm and 16mm inhibitory zone respectively. Other test bacterial species also inhibited but not upto the mark. We may recommend the high concentration of silver solution in the form of antiseptic spray as surface bactericidal mask for wound management.

Forest and its bi-product (often called as biomass) are the essential part of environment. Forest is directly or indirectly serving human being from the very beginning. Three forest ranges of Gorakhpur district of Uttar Pradesh namely Banki, Tilkonia and Pharenda are the reserved forest which have Sal (Shorea Robusta) and Sagaun (Tectona Grandis) as the dominant species. The biomasses generated from the three forest range are mainly dry leaves and twigs which are generally used as litter. The biomass production of three forest ranges are 2782.91 Kt. The trees are mostly mature in which the results state that the Sal plantation forest are with less Above Ground Biomass. It is revealed that plantation forest has large tree population with less DBH class. The plantation forest has greater carbon stock as well as great carbon sequestration potential than any other forest.

The study analyzed business risk of fast food firms in Calabar metropolis, Cross-River State, Nigeria. Specifically, it assessed the operations of fast food businesses, analyzed rate of growth of the firms, evaluated the different risks involved and determine the effect of risk variables on their performance (profit). Both primary and secondary data were used while data obtained were analyzed using descriptive statistics, business risk model and multiple regression analytical technique. The results revealed that 75.6% of the firms source their raw materials from the markets; their mean growth rate was 5.78 with a mean coefficient of variation of 67.16%, showing that most firms were exposed to high level of risk. The regression results revealed that business risk, volume of sales, age of the firms, variable costs, business equity growth rate and total revenue were significant on profit. Consequently, the study recommended that, in setting up a fast food business, the social setting of the people particularly their food preferences should be considered, managing variable costs through bulk purchases could improve the profit of these firms and that the significant variables should be considered for optimum performance and sustainability.

Salinity and bad quality irrigation water is very common problem in Pakistan due to limited rainfall, more evapo-transpiration and high temperature. So, there is need to select salt tolerant plants. In view of that a pot experiment was conducted to study the growth performance and ionic composition of Conocarpus erectus L. under saline – sodic conditions. Sixteen treatments i.e. (T1=<4(dSm-1) + <15 (mmol L-1)1/2, T2= 20(dSm-1) + 20 (mmol L-1)1/2, T3= 20(dSm-1) + 40 (mmol L-1)1/2, T4= 20 (dSm-1) + 60 (mmol L-1)1/2, T5= 20 (dSm-1) + 80(mmol L-1)1/2, T6= 20(dSm-1) + 100 (mmol L-1)1/2, T7= 30(dSm-1) + 20(mmol L-1)1/2, T8= 30(dSm-1) + 40(mmol L-1)1/2, T9= 30 (dSm-1) + 60(mmol L-1)1/2, T10= 30 (dSm-1) + 80(mmol L-1)1/2, T11= 30(dSm-1) + 100 (mmol L-1)1/2, T12= 40(dSm-1) + 20(mmol L-1)1/2, T13= 40(dSm-1) + 40(mmol L-1)1/2, T14= 40 (dSm-1) + 60(mmol L-1)1/2, T15= 40 (dSm-1) + 80(mmol L-1)1/2 and T16= 40(dSm-1) + 100 (mmol L-1)1/2) were evaluated in order to assess their effect on plant growth and ionic composition. Results revealed that increasing levels of salinity and sodicity had negative effect on all plant growth parameters i.e. plant height, number of leaves and branches. While owing to dual stress of salinity and sodicity minimum percentage increase over control was noticed in T16 having EC (40 dSm-1) and SAR 100 (mmol L- 1)1/2. Results showed that sodium concentration increased with increasing salinity/ sodicity, while potassium in leaf samples was decreased. Maximum K/ Na was depicted in control while minimal at the highest level i.e. T16.

The effects of the financial crisis in America, which happened to be spoken as one of the most advanced countries, spread from there to the other countries of the world and none were spared of its effects. For some of the countries, the effect was immediate whereas in some much smaller countries the effect was slow to come. One of the countries that have been lately affected by this is the Sultanate of Oman. This is a small high income economy that is highly dependent on its oil resources. It is a small member of the OPEC (Organization of Petroliam Exporting Countries) oil-cartel with a share of only 0.4% of the world‘s proven oil stocks and 1% of the world production according to the EIU (Economist Intelligent Unit), CIA (Central Intelligence Agency) World fact book. This reflects the needs for carrying out policy changes in order to increase its exports and imports as well as to adopt measures whereby a diversification should be seen on its sources of revenue. Effective trade policies which shall include Omanization, promotion of the tax policy and improving both the SME (Small & Medium Enterprises) as well as the tourism industry shall help in the long run to nullify or reduce the negative impacts of the crisis. Further, if modernization in the existing political system is brought about and the investment by other countries, along with promotion of its own cottage industries like production of the Omani Halva, Date processing and Oudh and Frankincense export increased little if not much can help achieve to turn around the present scenario.

Pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan (L.) of Fabaceae family belongs to genus Cajanus usually grown in semi-arid tropics of Asia and Oceania, Africa and America. This crop has been a best source for improving food and soil quality amongst farmers. However, its seed have been always questioned for purity. This problem is managed by using polymorphic SSR markers. In present study, a DNA fingerprints generated by seven SSR markers and hybrid testing is performed on Pigeonpea test samples along with parental lines. The seed samples of pigeonpea were germinated in laboratory and three week old leaves samples were used for DNA isolation by CTAB method. A total of 9 alleles were observed in three test samples using three primers out of seven primers. The screening of the allelic data associated with the three cultivated varieties, revealed markers (CcM0246) displayed unique allelic profiles for one variety. Yet, the genetic fingerprinting data is not well resolved to potentially distinguished two bands of hybrid that are merely of 4-8 bp to confirm hybrid testing of seed. Hybrid Testing of pigeonpea may be confirmed including more SSR primers prepared from genomic DNA of pigeonpea.

Reward plays a vital role to establish the attitudes of employee towards their job and the organization. There are several forms of reward that an organization can provide. However, this paper examines which types of rewards play significant role to motivate employees for achieving task and extra task behaviors. Based on the previous research and the suitability of data collection, the research method has chosen for this study is a quantitative approach. A variety ofthe finding is available from this research, such as: the reward practices of the sector presented in this study, why employee thinks non-financial rewards are important to them rather than financial rewards or vice versa. At the same time, this study also identifies whether female employees are considering non-financial rewards as motivating factors for them than men or not. Furthermore, it discloses that job position (managerial and nonmanagerial) has a considerable impact on reward perceptions. However, the results and conclusion are only applicable to the chosen organization.

Occupational hazards are termed as workplace undesirable activities that can cause an injury or ill health among the health care workers at their work place Aluko et al., 2016. In discharging their duties, nurses encounter a variety of occupational health problems which may be categorized into biological, chemical, mechanical, and psychosocial hazards Manyele, Ngonyani, & Eliakimu, 2008. The main aim of this study is to determine the knowledge and attitude of clinical practicing nurses regarding occupational hazards at the selected hospital. A Descriptive Cross sectional design was used to assess the awareness of nurses regarding the occupational hazards and its management. A quantitative non experimental approach was applied. A sample n=200 registered nurses was drawn from the list of all registered nurses at Mayo Hospital Lahore through convenient sampling. A self-administered questionnaire was adopted from a previous study. The adopted questionnaire meets the basic purpose and objectives of this current study. All the questions were written and formulated simply. The data collection tool consists of closed ended questions with Yes and No for Knowledge and Likert scale of agreements and disagreements for Attitude. After the data categorized and entered in to the computer, it will be analyzed with the help of SPSS software (version 21). Religion and Knowledge of occupational hazards is having significant association (p value= .001). Furthermore Marital status of the participants is significantly associated with the knowledge and attitude towards the occupational hazards among nurses. The chi squire tests are having significant association (p value= .000) less than .05. Moreover Knowledge and attitude of occupational hazards showed a significant relationship with having Pearson chi square values (p values .000). In conclusion, the Knowledge ad attitude of occupational hazards was found to be associated with different factors such as Education, Marital status and religion etc.

Acne is a common problem that can also leave behind permanent scarring leading to low self-esteem. Various treatment modalities can help dealing with these acne scars. The aim of this study is to compare efficacy of PRP with dermaroller against with PPP with dermaroller. A prospective study of 31 patients was done. After microneedling, PRP and PPP was applied on each side of face. The procedure was repeated every four weeks and scars were evaluated by Goodman and Barron grading system. Significant improvements were found on both sides of face and no substantial difference was observed on either of the treated sides. Also dermaroller therapy showed improvement in rolling type and boxcar types of acne scars only. Dermaroller is a safe and affordable device used with or without PRP and PPP for treatment of post acne scars

Ivorian Cucurbitaceae seeds consumed in sauce find themselves in several varieties. Among the Cucurbitaceae, Citrullus lanatus species comprises four cultivars listed on the basis of the size and appearance of seeds (oval seed cultivar, large seed cultivar, average seed cultivar and small seed cultivar). To promote these crops, field trials in situ were carried out to show the diversity within the species. Works have been conducted on the characterization of physico-chemical properties of seeds, and almonds. The agromorphological analysis showed different fruits weight of 1135.45 ± 266.78 g, 1075.29 ± 336.89 g, 838.43 ± 184.15 g and 764.4 ± 242.3 g for COS, CBS, CAS and CSS cultivars respectively. The morphological characteristics of peeled seeds (almonds) and not peeled (whole seeds) varied significantly (P 0,05) of a cultivar to the other. The percentage of germination of seeds showed a significant difference (p 0,05) from a cultivar to the other one. So the percentages of germination were 62,81 % and 88,88 % for the cultivars CSS and CAS respectively. As for cultivars COS and CBS, the percentages of germination were 95,72 % and 90,72 %. The qualitative and quantitative evaluation of the characteristics of the seeds of Citrullus lanatus cultivars showed that cultivars CBS and COS were premature, produced big fruits containing big seeds contrary to the late cultivars CAS and CSS with small and average seeds. However, the shape of fruits of the various cultivars did not determine the size of their seeds.
