Ectodermal dysplasia (ED) is a rare hereditary disease characterized by a congenital dysplasia of several structures of ectodermal origin. Common manifestations include defective hair follicles and eyebrows and deficiency of sweat glands. Intraorally, anodontia, hypodontia or oligodontia are the most common findings. We report the case of a four-year-old girl who was referred to the pediatric dentistry department of hospital la Rabta (Tunisia) and exhibited many of the dental manifestations of ED as well as general abnormalities. Our early oral rehabilitation was launched to improve oral functions and esthetics by including the fabrication of two removable prostheses and acid-etched composite resin restorations. The patient reported a good adaptation of the conventional dental removable prosthesis and parents were satisfied with the treatment.

The aimed of this work, was improved the stability of the chitosanase enzyme by immobilization with different natural carriers to enhance the economic of industrial biocatalytic process. It was used in preparation of biological active chitooligosaccharides. Pepper chitosanase extracted from (Capsiuum annuum) leaves was immobilized by four different immobilization methods with chitosan, DEAE-cellulose and sodium alginate. The resulted immobilized chitosanases were compared with respect to their immobilization efficiency, reusability and storage stability. Immobilization of chitosanase improved their enzymatic activity. They were 105, 83.8 and 65.2 U/g for immobilized chitosanase with entrapment, covalent and ionic binding methods, respectively. Immobilized chitosanase by covalent and ionic binding exhibited good reusability more than by entrapment method. Generally, the immobilized chitosanases showed better storage stability than that of the free one. The amount chitooligosaccharides produced by using immobilized chitosanase by ionic binding, covalent binding and entrapment methods was higher than that by adsorption method and also more than produced by free one. From a economical point of view, good reusability and storage stability are of the most important feature for the industrial application as biocatalytic.

The industrial revolution is explained in many different ways. It is explained as a rapid growth of the manufacturing industry, it is explained as the structural shift in the economy, the shift in which large population moved away from agriculture sector to the mining and manufacturing sector between mideighteenth and mid-nineteenth centuries. One other explanation is that industrial revolution is something where there was a continuous advancement in the national income. There were two industrial revolutions, first industrial revolution stayed from late eighteenth century to early nineteenth century. Then after 1825, the pace of the path-breaking inventions slowed down which marked the end of the first industrial revolution. The major technological developments again picked up in the late nineteenth century which led to the second industrial revolution. In this paper, major technological differences and differences in terms of banking and financing of firms between first and second industrial revolution were analyzed. It was concluded that technological developments like the invention of power loom and stream engine and improvement in the technology of iron making became the major reason behind the first industrial revolution. Technological developments in the industries of gas lightning, chemicals, glass making, transport machine and the paper machine played a major role the second industrial revolution. During the first industrial revolution increase in the number of country banks, the increased network of the joint and country banks and the coming of Bill-workers changed the banking and financing of firms. During second industrial revolution emergence of clearing banks and cheques, declining of bills and the institutions in which people could deposit their savings emerged which revolutionized the banking and financing of firms.

Abstract: We describe the first and rare case report of a cryptogenic organizing pneumonia (COP) in a seventh decade diabetic and hypertensive women from low highlands, Jazan, Saudi Arabia. The evidence of the clinical scenario, laboratories testing , radiological images findings followed by treatment with steroid is quite enough to diagnose COP, irrespective of lung tissue biopsy procedures and processing accessibility for histopathology, in a timely manner as reveals in Yahya Al-FIFI’s diagnostic criteria for cryptogenic organizing pneumonia (COP) without a lung tissue histopathology. We started a methylprednisolone forty milligram intravenously every eight hourly for seven days which is showing a dramatic clinical improvement within initial twenty-four hours of first seven days and complete recovery clinically and radiologically, at the end of the following fourteen days of tapering prednisolone doses without a relapse for seven months. Our successful experience approach in this case of COP has several advantages include that an early diagnosis and introduction of methylprednisolone may lead to preserve lung function, avoidance of biopsies procedure complications, may prevent relapses, early hospital discharge, improve the morbidity, mortality and the quality of life of the patient. So, we conclude these clinical, laboratories testing, and radiological findings are quite enough to diagnosing and treating with methylprednisolone to rescue patient life, when a lung biopsy performance accessibility or feasibility is obscured or delayed. We observe that beta-lactam; ceftriaxone and piperacillin/tazobactam, glycopeptide; vancomycin and macrolide; clarithromycin antibiotics are not effective in our patient COP case scenario. “Yahya Al-FIFI’s diagnostic criteria for cryptogenic organizing pneumonia (COP) without a lung tissue histopathology is easy and sufficient enough to assess physician to diagnose COP in acceptable time frame and may have favorable outcome over all.

Access and use to the right kind of information and possession of correct and relevant information resolves various problems faced by individuals in the slum and also helps them in decision making. Limited access to the right information at the right time deprives the slum dwellers the right to development. The information needs of the slum dwellers are not adequately identified and therefore the limited information resources they access and use are usually based on the assumption of information provided, through the public, from among themselves, NGOs, CBOs, the churches and the private sector. Therefore the aim of the study was to evaluate access and use of community information services to Kibera slum dwellers and to suggest the ways in which these services could be enhanced. Examine Information seeking habits of the slum dwellers in Kibera i. Assess the existing information resources and services ii. Establish the extent to which information resources and services meet user needs iii. Identify the format in which information is repackaged iv. Find out Challenges faced by accessing and using of information v. Suggest how access of information services by slum dwellers can be enhanced The major findings of the study were that Kibera slum dwellers faced various challenges which include high cost of information materials, Poor knowledge of existing information resources, poor marketing of information, lack of internet access, distance, language barrier, inadequate and outdated information sources that inhibited effective access and use of information. Recommendations were made based on the research findings.

Herbal combinations when used together may sometimes produce enhanced, same or diminished effect. As a result, herb combinations used in the management of diabetes mellitus need to be thoroughly investigated to provide the best effect in reducing the major underlying cause (hyperglycemia) of the disease. Aqueous extracts of Gymnema sylvestre (GS) and Combretum micranthum (CM) leaves were subjected to solvent-solvent partitioning along different polarities. The best fractions (methanol) in terms of in vivo fasting blood glucose (FBG) in alloxan-diabetic mice were subjected to column chromatography and preparative-TLC to obtain sub-fractions and sub-sub-fractions respectively. Sub-fractions D and G for GS and CM respectively gave the best reduction in FBG in vivo while sub-sub-fractions D4 and G4 yielded highest percentage reduction in FBG in alloxan-diabetic mice. The probable mode of action of the phenolic compounds identified by UHPLC-QTOF-MS/MS in both plants could be by inhibiting activities of α-amylase and α-glucosidase. At a dose of 10 mg/kg body weight, a 1:1 combination of GS-D4 and CM-G4 sub-sub-fractions, containing mainly phenolic compounds, significantly (P < 0.05) reduced FBG to 58.25±7.54% in 2 hours and 69.11±6.78% in 4 hours in a synergistic manner.

In the State of Qatar, the intense and rapid urban development based on hosting upcoming mega events, as envisioned by Qatar‟s National Vision (QNV- 2030), have raised concern about community stability as it faces modernization in both physical and social aspects.
