This research article considers the flexural rigidity influence along both x and y axes on the dynamic response of orthotropic rectangular plate resting on constant elastic foundation with elastic end conditions. The orthotropic rectangular plate model is a coupled fourth order partial differential equation having variables and singular coefficients. The solutions to this model are arrived at by reconstructing the fourth order partial differential. This partial differential equation model is converted to a set of coupled second order ordinary differential equations by using a special technique adopted by Shadnam et al., [11]. This set of second order ordinary differential equations is then reduced using modified asymptotic method of Struble. The closed form solution is evaluated, resonance conditions are obtained and the results are showed in plotted curves to depict the influence of flexural rigidities along both x and y axes on the dynamic response of orthotropic rectangular plate resting on constant elastic foundation with elastic end conditions for both cases of moving distributed mass and moving distributed force.

Background: Viral conjunctivitis is a prevalent eye infection that is typically linked to epidemic circumstances. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical features of continuing viral conjunctivitis in Sudan during times of conflict. Methodology: This is a prospective descriptive study that was launched after seeing an uncommon presentation of acute hemorrhagic conjunctivitis in people of all ages around the beginning of August 2024. Results: Subconjunctival hemorrhage (SCH) was observed in a total of 83 cases, with 76% being males and 95% being females. Swelling of the eyelids was observed in 82 patients, with 82.5% being males and 81% being females. Conjunctival edema was observed in a total of 79 patients, with 77.7% being males and 81% being females. The majority of the patients exhibited symptoms in both eyes, while 8% and 4% experienced symptoms in the left eye and right eye, respectively. Conclusion: This pandemic of viral conjunctivitis, which often begins in one eye and spreads to the other, can clear itself in a week or two, based on the typical clinical symptoms. Steroids and antibiotics work synergistically to alleviate symptoms and avoid bacterial infections.

In conclusion, National and Extra- County secondary schools’ strategic administrative initiatives have a high positive influence on academic performance compared to county and sub-county secondary schools.

Tamsulosin HCl is an αq-1 adrenergic receptor antagonist that is primarily used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a disease defined by an enlarged prostate. The aim of this project is to develop, analyze, and compare the developed formulations to the innovator product (Flomax). The formulations were prepared by integrating Eudragit L100-55 as enteric polymers in various formulations, Drug coat L30D as a sustained release coating polymer, and PEG 6000 as pore forming in distinct quantities. The formulation F8 exhibited %CDR of 98.8%, comparable to the Flomax (innovator product) and the similarity factor (f2) was calculated and found to be 94.3% marking this formulation equivalent to the innovate product. The improved formulation was tested for stability for the 1st month at 40 ± 2°C and 75 ± 5% R_H, as per ICH guidelines. The regression results of the improved formulation led to an inference that F8 indicates first-order kinetics with an estimated regression value of 0.926, and it was concluded that the drug had been released through diffusion mechanism.

Background: Surgical advancements have led to the development of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) guidelines. This study aims to assess the nurse’s role in improving patient outcomes and healthcare efficiency using ERAS. Methodology: This cross-sectional study was conducted in Aster Sanad Hospital Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire and from electronic medical records. The study sample was given a self-administered questionnaire. Data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS), version 21 (IBM SPSS Statistics, Armonk, NY) to analyze the data. Result: The result shows that there is a significant level of confidence among a notable portion of respondents regarding their understanding of ERAS protocols, there are also areas of uncertainty and variability, indicating the need for targeted interventions to enhance comprehension and implementation. Moreover, there is widespread acknowledgement of the pivotal role of nurses in ERAS implementation, yet significant proportions express reservations about nurses' training, workload constraints, and support from healthcare institutions. Conclusion: Overall, these findings emphasize the multifaceted nature of ERAS implementation, requiring a comprehensive approach that addresses training, communication, workload, and resource allocation to optimize patient outcomes and healthcare efficiency in Cesarean surgery units at Aster Sanad Hospital.

Breast cancer has become the leading cause of cancer-related death among women, partly due to therapeutic resistance and treatment-related complications. Chemotherapy and hormone therapy play a crucial role in managing breast cancer patients, providing essential treatment for both disease control and overall survival. However, as new therapeutic approaches are introduced and life expectancy continues to increase, the use of these treatments has been associated with persistent adverse effects, including dyslipidemia. This article presents the case of a breast cancer patient treated with chemotherapy and tamoxifen-based hormone therapy who developed severe mixed dyslipidemia. It also reviews lipid metabolism alterations observed in breast cancer patients, emphasizing the importance of monitoring lipid levels in these patients, particularly those undergoing hormone therapy or chemotherapy, to prevent cardiovascular complications.

This study examined language use of the exogamous families in Southwestern Nigeria in order to find out the language choice in a range of domains (formal and non-formal) and with different speech partners. The theoretical framework adopted for this study is Fishman’s (1972) Domain Analysis. Language use questionnaire was structured and administered to these families. The population of the study included nine hundred (900) respondents drawn from twelve (12) Local Governments of South-western Nigeria and the respondents were strictly from exogamous families. Data collected were analysed using statistical tool. The findings revealed that English language is the most used language among the exogamous marriage families in South-Western Nigeria in both formal and non-formal domains. The study also revealed that the children of all the exogamous marriage families have language socialization as they acquired at least one of the languages spoken by their parents easily, but lack the use of it in everyday dialogue rather they prefer to use English. This is because, they lack balance bilingualism or 'multilingualism. The researchers recommended that comparable research could be conducted on exogamous couples living in both rural and urban communities in order to enrich the knowledge of the sociolinguistic findings and better assessment.

release of greenhouse gases linked to the manufacture of cement. Geopolymer as a binder for making concrete consists of two (2) main components; (1) the alkaline liquid consisting of sodium or potassium silicate and sodium or potassium hydroxide and (2) source material of geological origin or by-products rich in silica and alumina. The combination proportions utilised in this investigation were formulated utilising Scheffe's (5,2) basic lattice mix design approach with the intent to create the trial mix and the control mix. A total of thirty (30) geopolymers concrete sample mixes were made in the laboratory, with fifteen samples for trial mixes and fifteen mixtures for control mixes. These mixtures were used to appraise the performance of the sawdust ash geopolymer concrete in term of its flexural strength property. The study used sawdust ash as the source material and investigation revealed that subjecting sawdust ash to pyrolysis without oxygen has a notable impact on the pozzolanic characteristics of the constituent. Consequently, this also affects the flexural qualities of the concrete. Furthermore, it has been shown that softwood sawdust exhibits superior pozzolanic properties when compared to hardwood sawdust. The study revealed that the optimum flexural strength of sawdust ash blended geopolymer concrete is 3.3002 MPa and the corresponding mix deign obtained. Computer programs were created using Matlab and used for the optimization and prediction of the flexural strength of sawdust ash based geopolymer concrete.

The study of the apical bases has been relevant in orthodontics for many decades; its study was carried out both on jaw models and on lateral cephalograms. Dentistry today is impossible without three-dimensional studies, which allows you to study an object from any angle and visualize the smallest changes in the anatomical structures of the area under study. The use of cone beam computed tomography to study the apical bases of the jaws makes it possible to study the configuration, size, and position of both the bases themselves and the structures that form them. The parameters we proposed allow us to study the width, length and angle of inclination of the apical base on single CBCT sections. Clinical use of the proposed analysis will contribute to more complete and accurate orthodontic treatment planning.

This study analyses the Government's responsibilities in implementing land acquisition in National Strategic Projects. This is qualitative research using a statutory approach, case and conceptual approaches. The primary legal materials resulted from relevant laws and legislation. The legal material collected is analysed prescriptively. The results showed that national strategic projects' land acquisition planning arrangements must be accommodated adequately and comprehensively. There are no land acquisition planning arrangements that accommodate justice, which has encouraged the creation of land acquisition conflicts. Research findings show that the Government's responsibility in acquiring land for National Strategic Projects is weak, and regulatory arrangements are unclear. Government responsibility still needs to be stronger and have strict legal regulations. Legal certainty for economic interests in National Strategic Projects is more dominant. At the same time, the Government has ignored the interests of law and justice for the affected communities.

Dens invaginatus (DI) is a rare developmental anomaly with an unknown etiology and different complexity. It is classified into three types according to Oehler’s classification 1957 based on the extent of invagination. This case involves an upper lateral tooth demonstrating Dens invaginatus type 2, an open apex, and a separate root sheath and diagnosis of necrotic pulp with symptomatic apical periodontitis. A cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) assessment was conducted prior to nonsurgical root canal treatment, which included apexification with bio ceramic material and internal bleaching to address both healing potential and aesthetics. The procedure was performed under an operating microscope, and a 6-month follow-up was conducted with both clinical and radiographic signs of healing.

Biological therapy increases the risk of fungal infections in chronic inflammatory rheumatism patients. Objectives: To determine the incidence of fungal infections in spondyloarthritis patients on biotherapy in the Moroccan registry (RBSMR) during 3-year follow-up and to identify associated factors. Methods: Patients' socio-demographic, clinical and para-clinical data were collected. The type of biotherapy used and episodes of fungal infections were determinated. Also, the frequency of corticosteroids and NSAIDs use, disease activity, and various comorbidities before and at the time of fungal infection during the 3 years of follow-up were defined. Regarding fungal infection, the germ and location were specified. Results: Seven spondyloarthritis patients out of 194 had a fungal infection (with 8 episodes). Mean age was 44±17 years, with mean disease duration of 11 years. All these patients had comorbidities before and during the fungal infection. At the time of this, all patients were on TNF alpha inhibitors, specifically, one patient was on Adalimumab but later switched to Etanercept, five were on Etanercept, and one was on Infliximab. No case of systemic fungal infection was noted. In the 8 fungal infection episodes, there were 7 cases of appendages’ involvement and 1 case of vaginal candidiasis. Conclusion: The incidence of fungal infections in patients with spondyloarthritis remains low and seems to be related to disease activity and type of biologics.
