Majority of the drugs used for the treatment of various diseases are administered by oral route using conventional delivery. The major drawback of the oral administration is the poor bioavailability due to the poor water solubility, chemical stability and pre-systemic metabolism. Numerous researches are going on for the improvement of oral bioavailability of drugs using novel drug delivery systems as an alternative to conventional delivery systems. Majority of the novel delivery system includes; solid dispersion, sustained, controlled buccal, gastro retentive, nano carrier delivery systems such as lipid nanoparticles, and self-emulsifying systems. The oral bioavailability improvement by these delivery systems might be due to the increased particle size, improved dissolution and/or permeation and subsequently bioavailability of the drugs. In this review, we attempt to discuss the various novel delivery systems developed for the enhancement of oral bioavailability of poorly water soluble therapeutics.

Taking the position that writing can be an important skill to foster knowledge building pedagogy; this article explores reading news through mobile applications as a supportive tool for this purpose. Fifteen language learners as participants of the experimental group used two popular news applications on their mobile phones for reading as a pre-task activity that made them outperform their counterparts in the control group in terms of using facts in essays. No significant difference, however, was observed in the overall writing ability of two groups despite considerable progress of the variable content in the experimental group’s favor.

Lip prints are normal lines and fissures in the forms of wrinkles and grooves present in the zone of transition of human lip, between the inner labial mucosa and outer skin. Examination of this lip prints is known as cheiloscopy. Some authors have worked on lip print in the past and made some striking points on its application in forensic studies and human identification. The study was carried out to identify and compare the lip prints patterns among the Igbos. The study was done to investigate and document the characteristic cheiloscopic pattern of Igbos and to assess the distribution of lip print patterns among males and females. A total of 300 subjects were used for the study. 150 were males, 150 were females, all of which were normal subjects. Subjects were selected and identified based on an oral interview. These subjects were selected through purposive convenient sampling method. The males and females had their highest percentage distribution in type I (35.73%) and (30.53%) respectively; the least percentage was in type IV (9.33 %) for the males and type I’ (7.80%) for the females. this study has been able to establish the cheiloscopic patterns for the Igbo ethnic group in Nigeria. The dominant pattern of the population was type I followed by type II and the least was type I’. It also revealed sexual dimorphism in the patterns and frequency of distribution of lip prints.

DSM V has removed OCD from Anxiety disorder group and classified the disorders with similar clinical picture together under obsessive compulsive and related disorders (OCRD). The following disorders fall under this group. Obsessive compulsive disorder, Body dysmorphic disorder, Hoarding disorder, Trichotillomania, excoriation disorder, substance/ medication induced obsessive compulsive and related disorders. This study aims to assess sociodemographic factors, sex-specific occurrence of OCRD and psychiatric and neurodevelopmental comorbidities of OCRD in children attending a child guidance clinic of R.G Kar Medical college, Kolkata. The study has been done based on the register used to record the patient related data in the child guidance clinic. All cases aged up to 12 years of age, of both sexes, registered with any diagnosis under obsessive compulsive and related disorders from July, 2009 to June 2015 (6 years) were included in the study. Results and statistical analysis were done using SPSS 23. Total 684 cases attended the clinic. Of them number of children diagnosed with obsessive compulsive and related disorders was 48 (7.02%). Most patients were in the age group 8 – 12 years. In all age groups males were more in number than females. Among males most common disorder among Obsessive compulsive and related disorder was Tic Disorder (TD) and among female most common disorder was OCD (44.4%) and next was OCD with Tic disorder (33.3%). Most common comorbidity was Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder

Oral cancer ranks in the top three of all cancers in India, which accounts for over thirty percent of all cancers reported in the Country and oral cancer control is quickly becoming a global health priority [1]. Two-thirds of the global incidence of oral cancer occurs in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs); half of those cases are in South Asia. India alone accounts for one-fifth of all oral cancer cases and one-fourth of all oral cancer deaths [5]. Since oral screening and early diagnosis plays an important role in oral cancer prognosis, a dentist ability to recognize the clinical signs and symptoms is crucial [21].

Ulcers on the tongue in teens are not a rarity, they commonly occur due to trauma, as a manifestation of recurrent aphthous ulcers, infection and rarely due to malignancy like squamous cell carcinoma. Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is the common malignancy involving oral cavity but usually affects elderly males. This case report presents an uncommon case of squamous cell carcinoma in 17-year old female occurring on lateral border of tongue. There was absence of deleterious habits. Exfoliative cytology procedure gave a hint about dysplastic epithelial cells and biopsy was done to prove the suspicion of malignancy. A brief review of literature regarding occurrence of SCC in young individuals is also included.

One hundred and ninety four respondents returned the questionnaire. The study revealed that long hour shift affects the nurses’ wellbeing and the care they provide to their patients. The study also revealed that it affects their social life. This study therefore recommends eight to ten hour shift to reduce the burden on the nurses so as to provide positive patient care outcomes.

This study examined the ecotoxicological evaluation of commercial fish pond in Mgbuoba, Port Harcourt, Rivers State Nigeria using water quality and gross anatomical assessment of Clarias gariepenus, using African Aquaculture Centre (ARAC) as a reference site. In this research the following were done: Gross anatomical assessment of the farmed fish which comprised of condition factor (CF), Organo-Somatic Index (OSI) and Health Assessment Index (HAI) and physico-chemical properties of pond water. The chemical assessment involved environmental water quality index (EWQI) and heavy metal assessment. The gross anatomical assessment involved the sampling of twenty table-sized fish harvested from the Mgbuoba commercial fish pond which were compared with ten table-sized fishes of the same specie harvested from an aqua-cultured centre, ARAC. The EWQI of the commercial fish pond was considered to be of a fair quality, condition factor recorded showed that fishes from Mgbuoba were in better condition than that of ARAC, health assessment index was poor in fishes harvested from ARAC. The organosomatic index showed that Mgbuoba fishes had a high mean values for Gills and Liver respectively. Using one-way Anova statistical analysis, no significant difference (p>0.05) were noted between Mgbuoba commercial fish pond and ARAC. It is suggested that at intervals the health status and water control should be examined/analyzed to keep a suitable habitat for the fishes and make consumption safe humans.

Shisha/ Waterpipe smoking has become a global epidemic, especially among youth. Health effects of WTS have not been studied extensively like the cigarette smoking. There is a dire need to study and document health effects of water pipe smoking in general and specifically on the oral cavity. 100 subjects under each category were studied: Exclusively Shisha smokers, Exclusively Cigarette smokers, Cigarette and shisha smokers and non-smokers. Along with the Arab population, Indian populations residing in UAE were also studied. After a brief explanation of the study, and obtaining a written consent signed from the study participants, a questionnaire was administered to collect data. A detailed case history was taken. Oral examination included soft tissue and hard tissue examination. Simplified oral hygiene was calculated. Respiratory problems and Sleep disturbance were mainly reported among shisha subjects. Moderate to mild stains and calculus along with periodontitis was recorded. Complains of bad breath and dry mouth was reported. One case of mixed white and red patches was noted in shisha smoker. The finding of our study could be substantial evidence that WTS alone has the potential to cause deleterious oral health effects and could even lead to pre-malignant lesions.

This article applies a „natural language processing framework‟ and examines the usage of „select keywords‟ in the annual State of the Union Addresses by the U.S. Presidents and the National Security Strategy (NSS) documents published under their seal by the White House since 1991. It simply counts the usage of the select keywords and demonyms in both the mentioned sources and examines the context/problematic in which they were used – thus attempting to locate Central Asia in the U.S. foreign policy from an „alternate perspective‟. It is assumed that the institutions and intellectuals of the statecraft produce American „national interest‟ differently – looking beyond the state-centric geopolitical vision of one‟s foreign policy through an „alternate perspective‟ becomes pertinent. As the identified sources merely give a broader picture in the form of a synopsis and not a detailed account, the article briefly records the „popular‟ U.S. foreign policy in Central Asia in the very beginning. The study finds out that the U.S. policy for Central Asia, largely, is a subset of the wider American policies practised around the region. The Central Asian problematic is thus determined by “security” of the U.S. national interests in the region which continue and change. Considering the State of the Union addresses and the NSS documents, the article submits that the significance of Central Asia for the U.S. foreign policy is vital yet relatively limited. And in the absence of any concrete Central Asian policy the security-based „problematic‟ will continue to exist.

According to World Health Organization (WHO), “hygiene refers to conditions and practices that assistance to keep up wellbeing and avoid the spread of disease. Personal hygiene includes those practices performed by a person to care of one’s bodily well- being, through cleanliness. A Cross sectional descriptive study was conducted in primary school of Hussain Abad of Lahore. The instrument use for the data collection was adopted questioner and convenient sampling technique was used. Study included 119 primary school children most of them were males (55.4%), the majority were rural resident (88.7%) with their age ranged between 5-12 years and median age 10 years. More than three quarters of the children (77.1%) knew the requirement of personal hygiene. On the other hand more than half of them had a special towel and comb. About two thirds of children (65.4%) had good to moderate knowledge with nearly three quarters (73.6%) had positive attitudes and more than half (55.4%) had good practice. There was a moderate positive correlation between knowledge score with both the attitude and practice scores. Male and older children had a significant better knowledge, attitude and practice than female and younger ones. Residence had no significant effect on children knowledge, attitude and practice.
