Objectives: Dexamethasone is a steroid that has been widely used during third molar surgery to reduce acute complication associated with mandibular third molar surgery. This study compared the effect of preoperative versus postoperative oral dexamethasone on swelling, pain and trismus following impacted mandibular third molar surgery. Materials and Methods: A total of 138 subjects with impacted mandibular third molar referred for surgical extraction at the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Department of the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital Ikeja were enrolled for the study and randomised into two groups. Group A subjects had 8mg of oral dexamethasone tablets one hour before surgical extraction while group B subjects had 8mg of oral dexamethasone tablets immediately after surgery. Pain, swelling and trismus were evaluated in both groups at days 2, 5 and 7. Statistical analysis was carried out using SPSS (IBM version 23). P-value was set at <0.05. Results: There were 61 males and 76 females with an age range of 21-57 years and an average age of 30.7 years and 29.6 years for groups A and B respectively. The results of the study indicated that there was no statistical difference in the reduction of pain, swelling, and trismus after mandibular third molar surgeries in both groups. Conclusion: Therefore, dexamethasone can be used either pre-operatively or postoperatively in minimising postoperative swelling, pain and trismus following mandibular third molar surgery provided there are no contraindications to its use.

This study examined the dynamic impact of sovereign debt and sovereign debt service on economic growth in Nigeria using annual time series data spanning 1981 to 2019. The study employed the error correction model, vector error correction model and the granger causality test to explain the impact of the relationships. The results revealed that an increase in external debt will lead to an increase in the growth of the Nigerian economy in the short run and a decrease in the economy in long run. The estimated results also revealed that there is an existence of a high significant and positive relationship between domestic debts and the Nigerian economy both in short and long run, while an increase in sovereign debt servicing will reduce the Nigerian GDP in both short and long run. The study found that there is a unidirectional causality running from external debt, domestic debt and sovereign debt servicing to the Nigerian economy. The study recommended that the government of Nigeria should encourage sustainable domestic borrowing and utilize the funds in productive economic activities and minimize external borrowings since it impacts on the economy in the short run is less significant and in the long run, is negatively significant.

The radish is also cultivated for oil purposes, as the oil is being take out from its seeds. The characteristics and the economic importance of radish vary among the East & West of world. Radish has the anti-diabetic, anti-turmeric and the anti-mutagenic properties. Different metals affected the radish plant by reducing the growth factors. There is need to control the level of toxic metals accumulation in radish. Ni is extensively utilized in the silver plants, alloy, zinc casting, storage batteries and in pigment electroplating.

Cotton is the most important crop that growing all around the world due to its immense applications for the synthesis of agricultural based products, textile and branded products. Genome of cotton arises have been sequenced but some varieties are in process of completion of genome under the genome sequencing technology. The first sequence of the D-genome wild relative of cultivated cotton of G. raimondii has been sequenced that laid foundation the sequencing for other varieties. Cotton demand increased all around the world as compared to other fibers and polyester based fibers. Low or high temperature affected the crops rotation cycles. Soil and water has to be our number one limiting factor and our greatest challenge to improve the yield of all crops so that economy of agricultural farming can be improved. When cotton seeds are crushed by cotton then three distinct compounds are produced: oil, meal and hull that can be used in fertilizers to enrich agricultural soil. Diseases in cotton can be controlled under the splicing and modification through molecular techniques.

Along with advantages in LO there existed many other disadvantages for LO. Variation in the morphology of the lingual surfaces especially on the maxillary anterior teeth is commonly seen. Wide range of labial-lingual thickness of the teeth and the smaller inter bracket distance in the anterior region requires numerous in-out bends which are difficult. Tissue irritation, speech difficulties, difficulty in oral hygiene has been also seen in many conditions. The problems traditionally associated with lingual orthodontics cannot be solved with conventional manufacturing processes; instead, complete individualization of all appliance components is needed. Lingual Matrix (LMX) is such a system that involves a fully digital process. As LMX is a new concept, this study was carried out to assess the efficacy of lingual matrix in initial leveling and aligning.
