Forensic dental fieldwork requires an interdisciplinary knowledge of dental science. Barr bodies are known to arise from inactivation of x- chromosome in a female cell, so it also has been used as a reliable method for sex determination. The objective of this study is to evaluate the reliability and accuracy Buccal Barr bodies for sex determination. The study was conducted on 100 subjects, (50 males and 50 females) with an age range of 20 to 36 years. The method was applied on each subject and the data was collected. After obtaining the data it was coded, analysed, decoded, interpreted and statistically analysed. The sensitivity and specificity of buccal barr bodies was found to be 24% and 84% respectively with an accuracy of 54%. It is concluded that buccal Barr bodies have the accuracy (54%). Hence it can be one of the reliable parameter but more studies are required to justify role in forensic odontology for sex determination, but certain circumstances like delay in sample staining, storage incapability can alter the results. Hence, more samples with accurate sample collection and storage technique can provide better results.

Artificial denture ingestion is a multidisciplinary problem. Not only artificial but fixed dentures are also at high risk of ingestion or aspiration in case of their spontaneous or traumatic dislodgement. Clinical presentation of denture ingestion varies with the site of impaction and its associated complications with passage. It is an uncommon problem requiring awareness of many specialists including dentists, surgeons, otolaryngologists and anesthesists. Complications include obstruction, bleeding, perforation fistulae with neighbour organs. Here a patient presented to casualty with symptoms of sub-acute intestinal obstruction after alleged history of artificial denture ingestion. Patient was operated and denture was retrieved from transverse colon.

Let a simple graph G is a connected graph. The General Randic Index GR(G) of a graph G is defined as GR(G) = ∑ (�u �v )t ; uv E(G) where �u and �v are the degree of vertices u and v. If t = ,then it is called Randic index which is defined as:- uv E(G) R(G) =∑ √ In this paper, we construct the Randic and General Randic Indcies of Alkanes and unicyclic graphs with application to cycloalkanes.

Over the course of time, dentistry has evolved from a primitive form of dental care to modern day use of preventive treatment modalities. In today’s modern dentistry with the availability of various new obturating materials, it was interesting to accidently diagnose the root canal being obturated with stainless steel wire. Here, we report a unique case where the root canal of a 10 year male patient was obturated with stainless steel wire following which the patient developed persistent pain and infection.

Worried by the seemingly unending plight of retirees after years of active service to their father land, the Federal Government of Nigeria began tinkering on elderly entrepreneurship as a sure way out. Certain critical factors, worth empirical investigation are important to successfully transit from a retiree to entrepreneur state. Adopting the survey design, this study ascertained the major precursors of successful transition from paid employment to selfemployment in Nigeria. Relevant primary data were obtained through the use of structured questionnaire. This was administered on one thousand three hundred and twenty-two (1,322) civil service retirees during their annual pension claim verification exercise. Descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation) and multiple regression were used to delineate the precursory factors and analyse their relationship with retiree entrepreneurial success. We found statistical evidence that post-retirement entrepreneurship success is significantly influenced by seven out of the twelve success factors evaluated. These included gratuity payment, positive peer attitude, and family size. The study has policy implication.

Most common ovarian germ cell tumors are mature cystic teratomas (MCTs), comprising 10 to 25 percent of all ovarian neoplasms. MCTs are usually benign in nature but have the potential of undergoing malignant transformation, typically in postmenopausal women, with an incidence of 0.17 to 3 percent. The most common malignant tumor arising in MCT is a squamous cell carcinoma. We present an unusual clinical entity in a 56 year old woman of a squamous cell carcinoma arising within a mature cystic teratoma.

The aim of the paper is to focus on the redistribution of social orders through identity consciousness of the traditional lower strata of the society during 20th century.

This paper study the NOx pollutants emitted from a single cylinder, 4-stroke spark ignition engine type Prodit; fueled with supplementary Natural gas to LPG. The study focused on the impact of equivalence ratio, spark timing, engine speed, and the added NG volumetric ratio on NOx emissions. The results showed that NOx levels depend mainly on the equivalence ratio, as the higher value of NOx concentrations was on the lean side near the stoichiometric equivalence ratio, and it was reduced when getting far from this ratio. It was observed that retarding spark timing reduces the NOx concentrations by a significant percentage. The NOx levels became higher at medium speeds and reduced in higher and low speeds. NOx levels increased with increasing NG volumetric ratio in the mixture.

Cervical mass in neck region is very common. Mass may be inflammatory to neoplastic. Neoplastic mass may be benign as well as malignant form. It can be present as cervical lymph node, salivary gland lesion and thyroid lesion as well. Initially fine needle aspiration was introduced by hematooncologist Franzen in Sweden. Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) is simple, quick, inexpensive, minimal invasive and out-patient service technique used to diagnose different types of lesions located in the body. The present study was prospective cross-sectional study conducted in patients with FNAC of Cervical lesion at National Path Lab Collection Centre, Ghorahi, Dang, Nepal referred from General and Head and Neck Clinic from January 2016 to July 2016. A total of 96 study participants with palpable superficial cervical lesions between 17 months to 74 years of age were involved in this study. Most commonly lesions were occurred in male with 54.5%.Most common lesion in all sexes were reactive lymphadenitis with 51.5 % followed by tubercular and metastatic 12.1 %and 10.6% respectively. Predominant lesions in both sex were reactive lymphadenitis with slight male preponderance. Most of cases were below 20 year age group. Reactive lymphadenitis is the commonest cause of cervical swelling in all age group except in older age group. FNAC is quick diagnostic test for the all palpable cervical swelling. Non-neoplastic lesion was managed without surgery

With advancement in information and communications technology, there has been convergence of various communication channels into few distribution platforms or same media organizations owning several media channels. Media stakeholders in Kenya had wanted to have self-regulation in the media industry. Three regulatory bodies (Media Council of Kenya, Communication Authority of Kenya and Film Classification Board) have been established through legislation to regulate media content and practice. This paper aims at analyzing the current media regulatory system in Kenya with a view to recommending the appropriate system. To achieve this, the paper has systematically reviewed academic journal articles, books, newspaper stories on media regulation and the law governing the establishment and operations of the three key media regulators. Social responsibility theory has been applied to explain the relevance of media regulation. The findings were that Kenya currently applies two media systems: 1. statutory regulatory system that is applied in two regulatory bodies and 2. Statutory media self- regulatory system which is applied in one regulatory body. The paper has recommended that Kenya should apply the statutory media self- regulatory system as it is the best for developing democracies. The paper has also recommended the review of the laws governing the three regulatory bodies so that they conform to the dynamics of technological advancement in the media industry in order to avoid duplication and competing roles.

Pediatric urolithiasis is an important medical problem, which has seen an increasing incidence in developing countries. A wide geographic variation in urolithiasis prevalence has been documented, which might be due to differences in diet, fluid intake, ethnicity and climate. The aim is to assess the biochemical and metabolic characteristics of the patients. The current study was conducted by the Department of Biochemistry of a tertiary care teaching hospital of western Uttar Pradesh. Pediatric patients presenting with urolithiasis formed the sampling frame. Medical records were studied for clinical and laboratory data. Study tools were records of the patients. Metabolic evaluation was done in all children. Sixty pediatric urolithiasis cases were included in this study. Gender wise, there were 23 females (38.3%) and 37 males (61.7%) with age ranged from 1 year to 11 years. Stone analysis revealed that big chunk (78.3%) of stones was renal stones. Vesicle calculus was least common (5%). On the other hand, Calcium oxalate stone was most common variety found in nearly half (46.20%) of the study participants. Least common variety (3.3%) was cystine type of stone. Hypocalcaemia was most common variety found in 86.67% of the study participants. Hyperuricaemia was observed in 3.33% of participants. Hyperoxaluria was the most common (78.3%) metabolic abnormality detected. 26.67% had Hypercalciuria. Only 5/29 (17.24%) patients managed conservatively had stone recurrence whereas 13/31 (41.9%) managed with a procedure had stone recurrence. Association of management modality with recurrence of Urinary Calculi was found statistically significant (p<0.05). Metabolic evaluation is advised in all pediatric patients as it helps in segregating patients needing medical therapy. Further studies are warranted to establish paediatric reference ranges for 24 hour urinary super saturation parameters in Indian population
