Impaction of maxillary central incisors are only seldom encountered in
clinical practices. Impaction of permanent anterior teeth results in both aesthetic
impairment and functionally compromised occlusion. Careful planning and
interdisciplinary approach are required for the successful management of impacted
central incisor. The present case report highlights a case where patient reported with a
missing left central incisor, at the age of 9 years and 2 months. A palpable crown
prominence on labial gingival mucosa in the vestibule was suggestive of the impacted
maxillary central incisor. On Cbct examination 21 was located below the nasal floor
with long axis of the tooth near parallel to palatal plane. The crown of the impacted 21
faced labially at the level of middle third of the root of 11. The root formation was
incomplete. The crown of the impacted teeth was exposed with the help of a diode laser
under LA. A lingual button is bonded on the palatal surface of the exposed crown. PAE
brackets are bonded to 12, 11 and 22 with slot alignment. E- thread is tied from the
monkey loop from the attachment of exposed crown to the 0.018 special Autsralian base
archwire. Traction was progressively continued till a PAE bracket could be bonded
followed by a piggy back traction by 0.014 Niti. Case was finished with disimpacted 21
in alignment with the arch. Disimpaction and alignment of incisor achieved by a
minimally invasive technique was successful and showed good stability.

The prevalence of nutritional deficiency especially the iron deficiency anemia is very common in pregnant females of developing countries, more so in the rural and tribal population. We in the present study tried to evaluate the prevalence of anemia in 300 females in 1st, 2nd and 3rd trimester attending ANC in Rajiv Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences and Hospital [RIMS], Adilabad. The Institutional Ethical committee permission was obtained for the study. 100 patients in each of the three trimesters were included in the study all the pregnant ladies were healthy without any significant medical disorders. The blood samples were collected from the peripheral vein in 5ml vacutainer and send to the Department of Pathology for examination. The Department of Pathology, RIMS Adilabad uses 5 part hematology cell counter (Sysmex Xn 1000 manufactured by Sysmex India Pvt. Ltd Mumbai) to obtain all the hematological parameters. The mean levels of hemoglobin in n=100 patients of 1 trimester were 8.38 ± 1.5 gm/dl, the mean levels of Hb in n =100 patients of 2nd trimester was 8.34 ± 1.24 similarly the mean Hb levels of n=100 patients in the third trimester was 7.75 ± 1.02. The hemoglobin levels of 10.0 – 10.9 gm/dl was classified as mild anemia in our study 10.83% of pregnant ladies had mild anemia. Between 7.0 – 10.0 it was classified as moderate 76.67% of pregnant ladies had moderate anemia, < 7.0 gm/dl was classified as severe 12.5% had severe anemia and < 4.0 gm/dl was classified as very severe (decompensated) anemia no case of very severe anemia was present in this study. The presence of nutritional deficiency anemia is very common in the tribal pregnant females of Adilabad. Although all the pregnant females receive duly the dose of iron and folic acid supplementations during the Antenatal care there needs to be good nutritional supplementation provided to reduce the burden of anemia in the pregnant females of this area.

The study of Sino-African cooperation is evolving as a very significant area
of research. So far, students, scholars, diplomats, journalists and other observers have
produced an avalanche of works on the subject, each focusing on an aspect or aspects
of the theme, from different perspectives. These differing views and perspectives
convey opinions that converge and or diverge in substance and analysis, even as they
enrich (and sometimes confuse) our understanding of the evolving cross continental
reality. In view of this, this paper studies the theme of Sino-African cooperation with a
specific focus on analyzing the issues/opinions that exist along three different schools
of thought. The paper defines the perceptions vis-à-vis the underlying factors that drive
their expressions, and submits that interests and changing international circumstances
form the foundation upon which not only perceptions are made, but how responses are
constructed.

The peripheral intravenous (PIV) catheter is the most used vascular
access device for administration of medications in hospitalized neonates. To
evaluate the impact of an educational program for nurses on assessment,
management, and prevention of peripheral intravenous complication in neonatal
intensive care unit. A quasi-experimental research design was used in the current
study. The study sample consisted of a convenience sample including all available
nurses (88) at University Hospital, General Hospital and Health Insurance Hospital
at Beni-Suef. Two self-administered tools for nurses; part I, socio-demographic data
for nurses, part II, nurses’ knowledge regarding IV fluid and part III, nurses`
knowledge regarding IV complications and neonate's needs of management and
observational checklist for nursing practice about IV infiltration or extravasation in
neonates. The findings revealed that there was a highly significant difference in the
pre and post-intervention program and their knowledge and practice, the study stated
that there was an improvement in their knowledge and practice towards prevention
and management IV complications. Educational intervention had a significant role in
increasing knowledge and practice of universal precautions among nurses. It is
recommended to exert more efforts in developing and applying similar educational
endeavors for nurses in NICUs these educational initiatives need to be boosted
periodically to ensure sustainability of their positive effects on knowledge and
practice

GV Black proposed a classification for recording caries which served the
purpose efficiently for almost 100 years. Owing to its inbuilt shortcomings and current
knowledge on cariology and induction of modern technology and restorative materials,
Black‘s philosophy has been rendered despondently ineffective. Though various more
comprehensive classifications and caries management systems have been evolved but
Black‘s classification remains popular tool for recording of caries worldwide. The
similar situation is found among dental professionals in Pakistan. This study was
planned with the objective to know the reason for not using other classification systems
and awareness about the existence of newer systems among Operative Dentistry /
cariology specialists or teachers. A content validated close-ended questionnaire was
used as a tool for this survey based study. The questionnaire based on two-point Likert
scale with options of ―Yes ―and ‗No‖ comprising of ten simple queries regarding
Black‘s caries classification was sent personally to all those who showed willingness to
participate in the study and was recollected within 15 days. 85% of the participant
agreed that Black‘s classification focuses on treating dental cavities and not the carious
process itself and 95% were aware of existence of more conservative modes of caries
classification. Majority confirmed that Black‘s classification isn‘t compatible with
minimal interventional approach to dental treatment. Even then, this is the chief
classification that is followed in dental schools in Pakistan. Black‘s classification isn‘t
well-suited for existing philosophy for caries management and dental profession should
switch over to already existing more compatible classification.

The fundamentalists often perceive that Islam and its principles are a
hindrance to innovation. Relevant, extensive research proved otherwise. For example,
a comparison of research on innovation in the Islamic and non-Islamic perspective was
made, which verified that Islam does promote innovation. As this is a content analysis
paper, it is important to acknowledge that there are five types of innovation in Islamic
banking. They are Islamic financial product innovation, Islamic bank process
innovation, Islamic bank marketing innovation, innovation and risk management in
Islamic finance, and Islamic work value and innovation. After comparing with
research on innovation in the non-Islamic perspective, it was found that there is still a
lack of protection for the innovation and the Islamic perspective also lack measures for
the innovation.
