Mucilage can be extracted from various plants and microorganisms. It is said to be a Polar glycoprotein and exo polysaccharide. In this article we compare different isolation techniques of mucilage and compare their characteristics such as their physical nature, solubility, chemical properties, Total Ash percentage, percentage yield etc. Isolation of mucilage techniques vary from one another with accordance to the presence of mucilage in different parts of a plant such as stem, leaves, fruit, seed etc. After detailed study of these different types of mucilage of various families we could identify that all types of mucilage had presence of carbohydrates in it and all gave positive results to Molisch tests and ruthenium red test. The pH range of all these types of mucilage was found to be in the range of 6.2-6.6.All the types of mucilage have a characteristic odor. All the types of mucilage extracted from the selected plants are edible and also can be utilized as a glue. By detailed study of these plants from various families we can conclude that there are similarities among them with regard to their mucilage and the mucilage extracted from each and every plant has a characteristic utility in pharmaceutical area as it can be used as thickening, binding, disintegrating, suspending, emulsifying, stabilizing and gelling agents. They have also been used as matrices for sustained and controlled release of drugs

Lower literacy of female in Pakistan is because of countless constraints
such as, socioeconomic and spiritual issues. Females are anticipated to depart the
relations one date by becoming married; consequently teaching girls are believed a
commercial defeat by the parents. Therefore, parents are extra probable to teach their
sons only. But unfortunately female literacy rate is extremely low in Pakistan.
Women contain a bigger portion of Pakistani society. The population of the female is
extra than as difference for men. Female educational literacy rate is low. Girls
possess to face countless barriers, socioeconomic (Parental Occupation, Sibling size,
Relations income) and spiritual factor (Extremist attitude towards female education)
for their studies and upcoming career. Power and supplementary powers concern and
give attention on women's education. This discovers is basically targeting the factors

The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of impacted third
molars in terms of frequency, angulation, level of eruption and available retromolar
space. In this retrospective study, a total of 402 OPGs were finalized. Pattern of
impacted third molars was evaluated using WINTERS classification for the
angulation and PELL & GREGORY classification for the level of eruption and
available retromolar space. Among all the OPGs reviewed, third molar impaction
was more prevalent in mandible than in maxilla. The most common angular position
was mesioangular in mandible and vertical in maxilla. The most common level of
eruption was Position B i.e. the highest position of impacted third molar was located
below the occlusal plane but above the cervical line of adjacent second molar.
Majority of third molars were impacted at less than adequate space. The current
study revealed that the most frequent pattern of impaction according to PELL &
GREGORY classification was Class 2B followed by Class 1C.

Successful management of furcation involved (FI) teeth is still a challenge
for clinicians. Multirooted teeth are at higher risk of periodontal destruction and early
tooth loss due to their complex anatomy and posterior location in the arch.
Maintenance of oral hygiene around furcation involved regions is difficult, resulting
in early, rapid and severe periodontal destruction. The outcomes of conservative and
regenerative therapies are unpredictable in such teeth. Resective periodontal therapy
in combination with endodontic and prosthetic treatments, offers a more practical and
predictable approach in management of such advanced FI teeth. This
multidisciplinary approach not only treats and preserves the tooth along with its
periodontium in part, but also restores its function as a whole. This case series
presents bicuspidization, hemisection and root resection as resective periodontal
therapy in the predictable and successful management of advanced grade II, grade III
and grade IV FI teeth.

Abstract: In India where a rape is reported every 21 minutes, even the most horrific of them soon get forgotten while the victim’s memory is embedded with it forever. Violence against women is deeply entrenched in the feudal, patriarchal Indian society, where for the rapist, every woman is a fair game to play with and to safeguard their interests, and lawyers are playing a loyal role. This article makes an attempt to grasp the perspective of the lawyers both male and female regarding the rape law amendments that have taken place so far. It seeks to understand what changes the legal professionals think to be correct and what is incorrect with the system of judiciary. Also several specific rape cases have been involved including both popular and the forgotten rape cases to get an idea as to how far the criminal lawyers as a part of the legal system and handle rape cases very often, keep themselves updated with the happenings around the country. So much so has changed in the Indian law books to safeguard the interest of the women at home and outside the warmth of residence. But in implementation, has anything changed from Mathura rape case to Nirbhaya and beyond? This is the answer that this paper seeks to get from the side of the legal professionals as to grasp if they realize the loopholes of the criminal justice system or are they under the ignorant dilemma that aw is the ultimate tool a woman has to take up to get true justice.

This study aimed to evaluate the polymerization depths of two different
bulk-fill posterior composite resins and a conventional posterior composite resin with
the microhardness test and there with the in vitro cytotoxicity test. For the
microhardness test, 10 samples were obtained for each group using Teflon molds.
Microhardness values were measured from the top and bottom surfaces of each
sample using the Vicker's microhardness test. For the cytotoxicity test, 12 samples
were obtained for each group using Teflon molds. The extraction fluids of samples
were obtained by incubating them at 37°C in RPMI 1640 medium for 24, 48, and 72
h. Cell viability was assessed using the MTT assay following incubation. The
microhardness values of the top and bottom surfaces of composite resins were
aligned as follows: Filtek Z550 Composite Resin > Filtek Bulk-Fill Posterior
Composite Resin > Tetric N-Ceram Bulk-Fill Composite Resin. The microhardness
ratio of Filtek Z550 Composite Resin was found to be significantly higher than those
of other composite resins when the bottom surface–top surface microhardness ratios
were compared. The difference between the bottom surface–top surface
microhardness ratios of the Filtek Bulk-Fill Posterior Composite Resin and the Tetric
N-Ceram Bulk-Fill Composite Resin was not statistically significant. However, all
composite resins provided the recommended polymerization depth (≥80%). No
statistically significant difference was observed between the cytotoxicity values of
the composite resins after 24- and 48-h incubation. However, the Filtek Bulk-Fill
Posterior Composite Resin showed a significantly higher cytotoxicity compared with
the other groups after 72-h incubation. In addition, the cytotoxicity value obtained
after 72-h incubation of the Filtek Bulk-Fill Posterior Composite Resin was
significantly higher than the cytotoxicity values obtained after 24- and 48-h
incubation. Although adequate polymerization depth was obtained in all study
groups, the Filtek Bulk-Fill Posterior Composite Resin had significantly reduced cell
viability after 72-h incubation.
