The scalp is a specific anatomic district, in which the most elevated density of pilo-sebaceous follicles is available and terminal hairs are concentrated. Scalp lesions are the most disregarded since they are not effortlessly seen with ensuing deferral in recognition and late treatment. This examination is expected to decide the histopathological investigation of Scalp Lesions. The present review think about assessed 65 instances of scalp lesions from the record of one of the tertiary care hospital of Uttar Pradesh over a span of three years. All the histopathologically demonstrated instances of scalp lesions were explored and clinical points of interest were gotten from the documents. Age, sex, and histology of the considerable number of examples were assessed. Among the 65 cases, 38 (58%)) cases were benign lesions. The male to female proportion was 1.5:1. Benign conditions were most conspicuous and small portion were malignant. Age appropriation in benign lesions was 20-40 years though malignant lesions were found in the elderly. Scalp injuries are uncommon, benign lesions are more common. For each situation of a scalp lesion a wide differential conclusion must be considered. Enhanced clinical experience and hospital participation with more thorough detailing would yield more illustrative information.

This study investigated the prevalence of Canine Distemper (CD) Antigen in dogs in three major clinics in Northern part of Plateau State. A total of 150 blood samples were and sera were used to test for CD Antigen using Rapid CDV Ag Test Kit which is a chromatographic immunoassay for qualitative detection of Canine Distemper Virus (CDV) antigen. Associations between factors were analyzed using Chi square at 95% confidence interval. A prevalence of 45.33% was recorded. There was significant difference in relation to age, breed and vaccination status (P<0.05) but no significant difference in relation to sex and location. The result of the study established the presence of CDV infection in the study area incriminating age and breed as the risk factors. Therefore, there is need for establishment of adequate control measures especially through vaccinations and sero-monitoring of the vaccinated animals in the area using rapid CDV test kits.

This study reports baseline information about melanocytic neoplasms in TUTH. The objective was to study the histological spectrum of melanocytic nevi and melanoma, and to make a clinicohistopathological correlation. 50 consecutive cases of melanocytic neoplasms were studied from December 2010 to December 2011.Of the 50 cases, 12 (24%) were malignant melanoma and 38 (76%) were melanocytic nevi. Cutaneous melanocytic nevi was the commonest, 30/38, (79%) followed by 8/38 (21%) conjunctival nevi. Head and neck was the commonest site (25/38) and the mean age at presentation was 32.66 +16.19 years, the female to male ratio being 5.3:1.In melanoma, 4 (33%) were extracutaneous, of the cutaneous, 2 (17%) were acral lentiginous, and 6 (50%) were nodular. Mean age was 50 + 16.99 years with an equal female to male ratio. Commonest site was extremities (6/8) in cutaneous and choroid in extracutaneous (2/4) lesions. Concordance between clinical and histopathological diagnosis were found in 30/50 (60%) cases. Melanocytic nevi are quite common in females, melanoma is rare, affecting men and women equally. In our context melanoma likely represents a sporadic disorder. Difference from the western societies is the common occurrence of nodular melanoma here and the topographical distribution.

The objective is to explore the effects of law and code-oriented and caring-oriented organizational ethical climates on physician–patient trust and interactions. A questionnaire survey was adopted and physicians of a case hospital were selected as the survey participants. A total of 116 valid questionnaires were collected, which were then analyzed through multiple regression analysis. The law and code-oriented organizational ethical climate had a significant and positive effect on physician–patient trust and interactions. In an increasingly complex medical environment, physicians must be aware of their hospitals’ organizational ethical climate and understand their roles and tasks pursuant to the hospitals’ missions, visions, and values. Such awareness and understanding will strengthen physician–patient relationships and enhance medical service quality

Trichomonas vaginalis amongst other STIs facilitate the natural history of HIV infection and may play an important role in the transmission dynamics of HIV. In this study we determined the prevalence of T. vaginalis infection and associated risk factors among HIV-1 infected women attending antiretroviral treatment Center at Jos University of Teaching Hospital. The study was a cross sectional survey of 168 HIV-1 infected women who presented to the STI clinic with symptoms and/or without symptoms of T. vaginalis infection from November 2015 to January 2016 after obtained informed consent. Demographic data and high vaginal swabs were collected by trained nurse. The samples were examined by light Microscope to identify T. vaginalis, Candida species and bacterial vaginosis. Of 168 HIV-1 infected women, 87 (51.8%) were positive for T. vaginalis infection. The rate of co-infection of T. vaginalis with bacterial vaginosis, Candidiasis was 44.8% and 5.7% respectively, both showed no statistical significance, P=0.360. The highest prevalence of T. vaginalis infection 29.8% was among individuals in the 30-41 years age group while the lowest 3.05% was among individuals in the 54-65 years age group. In the univariate analyses; age, occupation, educational status, marital status, previous history of STI, condom use, multiple sexual partners, pregnancy, ART status and symptoms manifestations showed no significant association, but in multivariate analyses, history of STI , symptoms manifestations showed significant association with p>0.05. The high prevalence of T. vaginalis highlights the need for routine screening among HIV-infected women.

The Present study was carried out to analyse the prescribing pattern of drugs and appropriateness of antimicrobials use in gastroenteritis in hospitalized children. It was a prospective, observational, single centre study undertaken in gastroenteritis inpatients of paediatric department, aged one month to seventeen years, over a period of six months. Modified Kunin's criteria along with the guidelines set by the World Gastroenterology Organization were followed for assessing the appropriateness of the antimicrobials prescribed and prescribing patterns respectively. A total of 120 patients were enrolled, of whom 61% were in the age group below 5 years. Diarrhoea with mild dehydration was diagnosed in 53% patients followed by no dehydration (28%) and severe dehydration (19%). IV fluids (90.8%) and antimicrobials (86.6%) were the commonest drugs prescribed. 89% of antimicrobials were given in parenteral dosage form. 27.9% of antimicrobials were given for 3 days duration. Among the antimicrobials, ceftriaxone was frequently prescribed. Inappropriate antimicrobial therapy was given in 9.6% of the cases. Precise use of antimicrobials was preferred in 10.5% of cases. Microbiology report was missing in 79.9% of cases. No ADRs were observed during the study. Inappropriate use of antimicrobials was seen in the study. Emphasis on proper diagnosis, treatment, education and availability of effective guidelines may help in a judicious use of drugs in children.

Every Society has her value system they cherish and these systems of norms and behavioural regulation must be strictly adhere and transmitted for the purpose of progressive and continuity of the society. Socialization is a complex process by which everybody or individual come together to learn and perform an attitude expected of them by the society. As societies become more sophisticated and diversified, some certain societal roles are assigned for a specialized body. The school system is one of such specialized body assign for a specific function which she carries through various subject areas of which Physical Education is one of them. The school must therefore be encouraged and supported to perform this task of socialization.

Kinetic properties and stability studies of pepper chitosanase immobilized on chitin by covalent bond for production of chitooligosaccharides was the main objective of this work. A comparison with the properties that shown by the free one was also carried out. Maximum enzyme activity was observed at 2.825 and 0.576 mg chitosan /reaction mixture for free chitosanase (FC) and immobilized chitosanase (IC), respectively. They followed Michaelis-Menten Kinetics. The values of the Michaelis-Menten constant indicated that IC exhibited higher affinity toward chitosan than that of the free one. Km value was 35.71 mg/reaction mixture for the IC and 17.86 mg/reaction mixture for the free one. The maximum velocities (Vmax) were 12.5 and 47.62 U/mg for IC and FC, respectively. The optimum pH of IC was slightly shifted to acidic range (pH 5.6) from 5.8, which is the optimum for free one. IC exhibited high activity at wide range of temperature from 40 to 60ºC with optimum at 55ºC, while high activity of FC was found at range from 40 to 55ºC with optimum at 45ºC. The thermal and operational stabilities of both free and immobilized chitosanase were also evaluated. Results showed that the immobilization enhanced the enzyme stability. IC showed better thermal stability than the free one. It lost 5-10 % of its original activity after heating at 50oC for 1h, while FC lost 35 % after the same treatment. IC also lost 58% of its original activity after heating at 60oC for 1h, while free one lost 80 % after the same treatment. Results showed 22% rate of hydrolysis after 1 h and reached about 24 and 30 % after 2 and 24 h of hydrolysis. The end product of chitosan hydrolysis by the IC showed N-acetyl glucosamine and mixture of DP 2-6 oligomers. This improvement of the IC properties made it a potential candidate for future use in industrial application especially in chitooligosaccharides production

We describe the first case report of an Adult Onset Still’s Disease (AOSD) in a previously healthy young man from Jazan, Saudi Arabia in the summer of 2017. The patient symptoms, signs and investigations fulfilled Yamaguchi’s criteria for the diagnosis of Adult Onset Still’s disease [1]. The patient experienced a sore throat, high grade fever, right knee arthralgia, left knee arthritis, a generalized salmon colored rash, leukocytosis, elevation of liver transaminases, high LDH, high ferritin, absence of ANA, RF, AMA, ASMA and DNA and reactive bone marrow aspiration and biopsy without any evidence of infectious diseases etiologies or malignancies that were satisfactory to confirm the diagnosis of AOSD. We have observed an evidence of two different bacterial sources simultaneously as triggering etiologies; positive ASO titer and positive blood culture for E. Coli where the clinical features and laboratories investigations derangement post antibiotics treatment have remained. The patient has responded to the pulse methylprednisolone and tapering doses of prednisolone. Our successful clinical experience in the case is that the prednisolone lower doses combined with NSAID (voltaren) to minimizing the steroid adverse effects was sufficiently effective to maintaining remission.

According to the report of Institute of Medicine (IOM) that about 7,000 of death are occur annual because of the medication error which is going worse day by day. The effect of medication error is not good for patient health. It reduces the efficiency of health care system. It is also evident from the report of IOM that about 1.5 million of people are injured because of the medication administration error and annual expense for treating those patient take more than 3.5 billion Dollars annually which is a great expense. This all happen just because of the medication administration error. To assess the barriers to which minimize reporting medication administration error among nurses in Services hospital Lahore. This study was carried out by using a cross sectional descriptive study design in Services Hospital Lahore. Data was taken from the staff nurses and the total sample size was 222. Response from the participants was taken through simple random sampling techniques.Spss21 version used for descriptive analysis and applied chi square and one sample t-test. The results after study show 35% of the staff nurses were agree that they didn’t recognize an error occurred properly while 16% were disagree. 41% of staff nurses were agree that while reporting an medication error then the colleagues will be think that they are incompetent while 38% of the nurses were disagree to this statement. 68% of staff nurses were agree that it is very important for a Hospital to have proper medication error reporting system while 20% were disagree, 62% of staff Nurses were agree that the response of hospital administration doesn’t match with the severity of case while 24% disagree. The barriers which play a vital role in underreporting of medication error is the fear of staff nurses form the hospital management and the response of hospital administration

Abstract: In this paper, we investigate the bandgap energy, lattice constants, optical confinement factor, and physical properties of InGaN based quantum well lasers for 1.55 µm applications. Linear interpolation between the experimentally determined values of InN and GaN is used to calculate the lattice constants and the composition of the composite InGaN for the desired bandgap energy. Solving the Schrödinger equation in conjunction with k.p method and Luttinger-Kohn Hamiltonian matrix operator, the band profiles are calculated for the quantum well structure. First, the probability distribution is calculated, later which describes the electron density in the quantum well, and a value of 10-18 cm-3 is found from the calculations. In addition, the energies of conduction and valence bands are clearly demonstrated, and the corresponding heavy and light holes states are examined clearly. Determination of these parameters is of immense important for the microstructural fabrication, laser pumping power requirements, and practical applicability of the proposed laser structure.
