Objectives- The burden of diphtheria is more than what it seems to be, so early diagnosis and appropriate treatment is needed to prevent catastrophe. The study is aimed to stipulate the importance of microbiological diagnosis in cases of diphtheria. Thus, we report some confirmed cases from this region. Materials and Methods- 17 clinically suspected cases were studied from October 2020 to February 2021. Two throat swabs were collected. One swab was used for making two direct smears which were subjected to Gram stain and Albert stain respectively. Another swab was inoculated on Nutrient agar, Mac-conkey agar, Blood agar, Chocolate agar and Potassium tellurite blood agar (PTBA). Growths were observed after 48hrs of incubation at 37 o C aerobically. Colonies isolated from PTBA were subjected to Gram stain and Albert’s stain. Results- 6 out of the 17 cases showed positive growth on PTBA. Macroscopically grey-black opaque colonies were obtained. Microscopic examination of the Gram-stained smears showed gram positive, pleomorphic, club shaped bacilli with L and V patterns. Albert’s stain showed green colored bacilli with bluish-black polar metachromatic granules. Conclusion- Awareness among people, widespread universal immunization coverage, availability of modern microbiological support and rapid early diagnosis are the cardinal steps to control diphtheria resurgence.

COVID-19 treatment makes an immune system vulnerable to other infections such as Black fungus (Muceromycosis). India has been facing high rates of COVID-19 since April 2021 with a B.1.617 variant of the SARS- COV2 virus is a great concern. Mucormycosis is a rare type of fungal infection that occurs through exposure to fungi called mucormycetes. These fungi commonly occur in the environment particularly on leaves, soil, compost and animal dung and can entre the body through breathing, inhaling and exposed wounds in the skin. The oxygen supply by contaminated pipes and use of industrial oxygen along with dirty cylinders in the COVID-19 patients for a longer period of time has created a perfect environment for mucormycosis (Black fungus) infection.

Scientific rationale for the study: Gingival recession is a condition causing functional and esthetic disturbances and has a high prevalence rate. A wide range of surgical techniques and membranes have been proposed through the decades for recession coverage. Amnion/ chorion membranes are rich in type I, IV, V, and VI collagen, proteoglycans, laminin, and fibronectin, demonstrating properties of wound protection, pain reduction, and effect on epithelialization and being bacteriostatic in nature. The available evidence suggests that Coronally Advanced Flap (CAF) combined with amnion/chorion membranes has significant effect on gingival recession, gingival phenotype, gain in clinical attachment level, increase in Width of Keratinized Gingiva. Therefore the placental allograft is a viable alternative option for root coverage procedure in cases where there is a lack of autogenous connective tissue available to treat gingival recession defects or the patient is unwilling for a second site of surgery. Principal findings: The available evidence suggests that Coronally Advanced Flap (CAF) combined with amnion/chorion membranes has significant effect on recession coverage, gain in clinical attachment level, and increase in Width of Keratinized Gingiva. The membrane has also shown to be effective on the gingival biotype, changing to a thick biotype. Practical implications: The placental allograft is a viable alternative option for root coverage procedure in cases where there is a lack of autogenous connective tissue available to treat gingival recession defects or the patient is unwilling for a second site of surgery.

Introduction: The emergence and spreading of Rifampicin-resistance strains of mycobacterium tuberculosis pose significant challenges to tuberculosis control programs in resource-limited countries like Ethiopia. This study aimed to assess the proportion and factors associated with primary rifampicin resistance. Methods: A facility-based cross-sectional study was conducted from April to November 2019 among 570 new pulmonary tuberculosis patients. A systematic random sampling technique was used to select the study participants from 8 Gene-Xpert testing hospitals. Rifampicin resistance was detected by Gene-Xpert assay from sputum specimens. Data were collected by face-to-face interviews, document review, and laboratory results using a pre-tested structured questionnaire. We developed the questionnaire from different kinds of literature and the World Health Organization resources. Variables with P-value <0.2 in simple binary logistic regression were included in the multiple binary logistic regressions. A statistical test was reported as significant when p-value < 0.05 in multiple variable logistic regressions. Fitness of goodness was checked by using the Hosmer Lemeshow model fitness test. Results: A total of 570 individuals have participated in this study. Of those, 43 (7.50%) 95% CI: 5-10) were resistant to rifampicin. Persons, have a contact history with known tuberculosis Patients (AOR 2.5 [95% CI: 1.21-5.11]), with human immune virus infection (AOR 2.3 [95% CI: 1.11-4.73]) and being diabetic Mellitus cases (AOR 4.2[95% CI: 1.51-8.78]) were factors significantly associated with rifampicin resistance. Conclusions and recommendations: The proportion of rifampicin resistance was high. Identified factors significantly associated with rifampicin resistance were persons having contact history with known tuberculosis patients, human immune virus infection, and being diabetic Mellitus cases. Strengthen the prevention of rifampicin resistance tuberculosis transmission, strengthening contact tracing, improve TB/HIV coinfection health care services, and screening tuberculosis patients for diabetic Mellitus is crucial.

Man is the highest creation of Almighty Allah. He is equipped with the highest of potentialities and is left relatively free in his will, action and choice. He has shown man the right path, and the life of Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W.) provides a perfect example for him. Islam, being a comprehensive way of life, encompasses a complete character system and Glorious Qur’an, as a compendium Book, contains multifarious excellent characters that teach the believers how to conduct their life accordingly. The importance of these excellent characters in Islam is so high so much that every Muslim is exhorted to possess excellent moral quality. It is on this basis that Islam brought down a plethora of universal and fundamental principles for guidance of humanity in almost every circumstance. To achieve these fundamental rights, it presents an effectual moral system that will make it easy for its adherents to achieve the desired goal. Almighty Allah however, through the Qur’an encourages Muslims to develop heart capable of discovering His pathway that governs and sustains the functional system in human generations. Every person is therefore responsible for his own actions, considering the fact that human nature is enslaved and enticed to committing sin, oppression, and polytheism. It is generally believed that Muslims without discipline and moral values are ineffective and valueless in their dealings. It is in line with this backdrop that this paper intends to explore the role of Qur’an and Hadith in character building stressing the Islamic moral values associated with them. To achieve the objectives of this research, this paper attempts to answer some basic questions with a view to unraveling the role of Qur’an and Hadith in character building towards evolving prototypical Muslim society. What are the excellent moral qualities? How do the Qur’an and Hadith advocate moral virtues such as patience, truthfulness, justice, thinking good about others, responding to the evil with good among others? How does the moral standard ensure prosperity of a Muslim individual or society? What are the factors that help grow the moral faculty of Muslim society in making them religiously inclined to good moral qualities? These and similar questions form the objectives of the study. The study also adopts analytical phenomenological methodology.

Background: The role of autopsy is to find out the cause of death, time of death and identify diseases which could have attributed to the death. Autopsy may reveal many histopathological findings which may or may not have been diagnosed ante mortem. A retrospective study of medicolegal autopsies for a period of 2 years was done in a tertiary care centre in Kerala. Clinical findings and ante mortem clinical diagnosis, gross pathological findings and histopathological details were noted. The results were analyzed based on gross findings and histological examination. Histopathological findings which were diagnosed incidentally or co-existing pathology which may or may not have been the cause of death were specifically noted. All the data were analysed using the SPSS software version 17. Results: The present study was based on 212 male and 92 female autopsies. Coronary arterial disease, myocarditis, pneumonia and cirrhosis liver were the common findings. Some of the other pathological findings noted were tuberculosis, burns, pancreatitis, meningitis, encephalitis and cardiomyopathy. There were 6 cases which showed rare and incidental findings. Conclusion: The diagnosis of incidental findings which were not diagnosed ante mortem emphasise the relevance of histopathological analysis in all cases of autopsy .This can also help in epidemiological studies.

The trademark role is important in advertising and marketing a particular business because the public often associates a distinctive image or the quality of goods and services with certain trademarks. This research will analyze the essence of adopting good faith in resolving disputes concerning well-known trademarks in Indonesia. The research adopted normative legal research using statute, cases, and conceptual approaches. The results show that the essence of good faith in well-known trademark dispute resolution is to protect well-known trademark owners who are honest, rational, and have tried to find a trademark's existence. Therefore, their trademark has no essential or overall similarity with other parties to minimize losses. The well-known trademark cases that have been submitted showed that the lack of indicators of good faith resulted in deciding the case. The Commercial Court of Central Jakarta decided based on the subjective of the judge. For this reason, the problem of disputes becomes complicated and complicated can arise when court decisions are inconsistent.

Wastewater contains a variety of toxic dyes and heavy metals. Dyes are released by the different types of industries as environmental pollutants which has become a serious issue for the health of thousands of people. Azo dyes are released from the industries as environmental pollutants and are mixed to the drinking water of human due to their direct discharge into human inhibited areas. Many techniques are available for the degradation of dyes from wastewater such as reverse osmosis, coagulation, ion exchange, photo catalysis, and photo-Fenton etc. However, the traditional photo catalysis and photo-Fenton-like catalytic processes are active only under the irradiation of ultraviolet (UV) light. The photo catalysis involves the generation of electron (e−)-hole (h+) pairs under suitable light irradiation. There are many catalysts that have been used in photo catalysis such as ZnO, CdS, TiO2. TiO2 is used in the photo Fenton reaction that catalyzes the reaction between iron and hydrogen peroxide. There are many advantages of photofenton reaction such as reaction can be carried out with high performance and can be operated at the room temperature.
With the increasingly close communication and cooperation in today’s society, translation, as a bridge for information and cultural transmission between two countries and even many countries, has attracted widespread public attention. At the same time, people also put forward higher requirements for the quality and efficiency of translation. In order to satisfy people’s desire to share international information and opportunities, computer-aided translation is playing an increasingly important role. But people can not help questioning that, compared with the traditional human translation, how significant is the progress of computer-aided translation? What are its advantages and disadvantages? What is the future of computer-aided translation? And how much of a role does the terminology database play in translating our reality? That’s what this paper is about.
