Introduction: The anterior ethmoidal artery (AEA) is an anatomical landmark; its position is important for recognizing structures of difficult access (frontal sinus) and to define skull base in surgery. The anterior ethmoidal artery crosses three cavities: the orbit, the ethmoid labyrinth and the anterior fossa of the skull. The aims and objectives of the study are to determine the course of the AEA and the distance of the AEA from the base skull. Material and Methods: A surveying radiological study was carried out on 100 coronal CT images from subjects who were exposed to paranasal CT imaging during a period April-July 2018 in a tertiary hospital. All CT images, along with indication of sinusitis were encompassed in the examination. The elimination being changed skull base anatomy due to earlier surgical interference, injury or tumour and age <18 years. Result: Among the coronal CT images analyzed, the male and female were noted to be 60 and 20 respectively. Out of 160 sides, AEA was identified in all the images studied (100%). The AEA was found below SB in 134 out of 160 (83.8%). On measuring the distance between the AEA and SB majority belonged to Group A (74 out of 134) in comparison to Group B (40 out of 134) and Group C (20 out of 134). The mean distance was found to be 1.43 mm, 3.8 mm, 5.72 mm in Group A, Group B and Group C respectively. The overall mean distance between the AEA and the SB was 3.65 mm. Discussion: The AEA is an anato-radiologic keystone for paranasal sinus and anterior skull base endoscopic operations. The presence of AEA in all of the pictures examined in this investigation is consistent with the reported range of 92-100 percent. In the ethmoidal air sinus, AEA was found to have a varied path. Conclusion: Due to differences in the length of the lateral lamella of the cribriform fossa, the distance between AEA and SB differs. The structure of the olfactory fossa varies. Despite the statistical limitations, the positional association between AEA and the depth of the olfactory fossa is noteworthy.

The advent of Islam in the sixth century resulted in the formation of a new empire and a world civilization. With the rise of Islam, Muslims had made immense leaps forward in the area of Science and Technology. The Contribution of Islamic Civilization to Science and Technology from the 8th to 16th century is a noteworthy expansion in human antiquity. The Muslim Scientists not only conserved the ancient knowledge, but also transformed it into major new contributions to the basic science and technology. Muslim Scientists significantly contributed to human knowledge in various fields through their innovations. This contribution was so great that Islamic civilization has been the pioneer of the scientific, intellectual and cultural genius for a long period of time. This paper, therefore analyses the contributions of Islamic Civilization with particular references to sciences. It affirms that Islam is beyond only the religion of prayers and rituals. This paper will also try to shed a light on few works that have been carried out by the Muslim Scientists with a brief explanation on their work on applied sciences like Mathematics, Astronomy, Chemistry, Physics, Medicine and other branches of modern science.

Hydatid disease is a global parasitic zoonosis with a very low incidence of 1 in 30,000 during pregnancy, with liver as the main organ to occur in it. Their diagnosis would depend on their clinical or radiological presentation, but the main problem during pregnancy would be their management. Here in, we present our case of accidently discovered liver hydatid cyst during pregnancy that was managed by albendazole therapy

The flexure of a clamped uniformly-loaded thin isotropic rectangular plate is herein analysed. The deflected surface was approximated using a grid work of beams. Coordinate polynomial deflection function satisfying the geometric boundary conditions was derived. Furthermore, different approximations of the derived polynomial function were developed for the clamped rectangular plate corresponding to the first, second and third approximations. The unknown deflection coefficients of the different deflection functions were obtained using Galerkin method, for different aspect ratios ranging from 1.0 to 2.0 for the different approximations. The numerical values of the computed coefficients were compared with the results from previous works and the degree and pattern of convergence observed. The convergence to the results of the classical solution increased as the number of approximations increased from first to third approximation such that the average percentage difference came to 1.98 %, for maximum deflection and 1.96 % for the maximum span moment of the principal axis in the third approximation. This clearly shows that the present study closely compares with the results of classical solution.

Using the canine hookworm Ancylostoma caninum as model we aimed to investigate the anthelmintic activity of goat’s milk in vitro by describing in detail the nature of damage taking place cross sectionally in the worm cuticle after exposure to goat’s milk through careful observation by transmission electron microscope (TEM). Adult worms were obtained from routine culling of unwanted dogs from Selayang Municipal Council (MPS) animal detention center, Rawang, Malaysia. Fresh raw goat’s milk was used. Worms were cut into 1mm3 slices, fixed in 4% glutaraldehyde, washed with 0.1sodium cacodylate buffer, post fixed in 1% osmium tetroxide, washed again in 1%sodium cacodylate buffer, dehydrated in acetone, embedded in resin, polymerized, ultrathin cross section cut and stained with uranyl acetate before being viewed under transmission electron microscope. Goat’s milk resulted in worm cuticular damage in the form of irregularity and significant thinning similarly seen with cysteine proteinases mediated damage. Internal hypodermic changes were also observed in the form of mitochondrial degeneration which appeared as large vacuoles similarly seen in albendazole affected worms. Understanding anthelmintic mechanism through transmission electron micrography has provided critical information in developing novel therapies from natural products. It also provides basis for the consumption of goat’s milk as functional food for parasitic worm control.

One of the catastrophic aftermath effects of the Structural Adjustment Program is the continuous fluctuations in exchange rate in Nigeria. The possible spillover effects of exchange rate fluctuations on trade balance in the country have generated a serious concern among scholars in the recent time. However, mixed results have been observed from the past studies which created a vacuum in the literature in which this study would fill. Consequently, this paper employed Cointegration, Granger Causality and Fully Modified Least Squares (FMOLS) approach to address the objective of the study. The findings that originated from this study are as follows; the exchange rate fluctuations have a negative impact on imports in Nigeria, though not statistically significant. Meanwhile, the impact of exchange rate is positive on exports though not significant in Nigeria as well. Also, economic growth and exchange rate have an inverse relationship in the country. In the same vein, exchange rate has a negative impact on trade balance. Similarly, there is a unidirectional causal relationship between imports and exports in one hand, and exchange rate and economic growth on the other hand in Nigeria. This implies that exchange rate fluctuations have not been favourable to balance of trade and economic growth in Nigeria. Moreover, on the basis of the findings above, it is paramount this paper recommends the following; firstly, the policy makers in Nigeria should embark on policy measures that will ensure the stability of the country`s exchange rate. Also, the Nigerian government should put appropriate mechanism that will ensure the competitiveness of the locally made products both in Nigerian and the world markets. The government should have a political will to embark upon aggressive exports promotion of the locally produced goods in the country.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of work discipline and training on employee performance. This type of research is quantitative associative. Population in this research is all employees of production section totaling 61 people. Method of data analysis in this research is multiple linear regression model. In the data processing process, the author used Statistical software Product and Service Solution (SPSS). The finding of the results are work discipline has a significant effect on employee performance; training has a significant effect on employee performance. Research has proven work discipline, and training simultaneously have a significant effect on employee performance. Employment discipline will increase if the written framework, work standards, monitoring and the provision of material and non-material compensation are evaluated and the company applies. The authors recommend that the company enable written and clear job descriptions, written work standards, improve monitoring and provide material and non-material compensation, to increase employee performance. Companies should increase the intensity of employee training, the skills, the productivity of the employees are constantly growing

The effect of JDK on BOPO is - 1.808941 with a probability value of 0.0725> 0.05, so the JDK has no significant effect on BOPO. The effect of JDD on BOPO shows the amount of -2.440531 with a probability value of 0.0159 <0.05, so it can be concluded that JDD has a significant effect on BOPO.The KI effects on BOPO is 2.576708 with a probability value is 0.0110 <0.05, so KI has a significant effect on BOPO.The KA effects on BOPO is 0.747203 with a probability value of 0.4562> 0.05, so it can be concluded that KA has no significant effect on BOPO. This means that every change of committee assuming other variables remain (Ceteris Paribus), then BOPO does not experience changes.

Abstract: Struma ovarii is an ovarien teratoma which predominantly contains thyroid tissue. Because of its rarety, the diagnosis and the managment of the tumour have not been clearly defined. We report a case of malignant papillary struma ovarii not suspected in preopertive. The chirurgical treatment of our patient was total hysterectomie, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomie and biopsies comleted with thyroidectomie and radioactive iodine ablation wish was decided in multidisciplinary consultation meeting. Through this observation, we discuss the diagnositic, management and outcome features of these particular tumors.

This study sought to compare the effects of debts on economic growth of Ghana and Nigeria. The specific objectives were to evaluate the impact of bilateral debt and also assess the impact of multilateral debts respectively on economic growth of Ghana and Nigeria. Ex-post facto research design was adopted for the study. Secondary data were sourced from Central Bank of Nigeria statistical bulletin, Debt management office Nigeria and Debt management division of ministry of finance Ghana. The regression analysis based on Ordinary least square (OLS) was used to test our null hypotheses. Two hypotheses were tested in the study. Findings from the study revealed that multilateral debts significantly impacted negatively on the economic growth of Ghana while its negative impact in Nigeria was not significant. Moreover, bilateral debt impacted significantly for Ghana but not for Nigeria. The study therefore concludes that the governments of Ghana and Nigeria should ensure that multilateral debts when contracted should be tied to self- liquidating projects and also for longer period of moratorium.

Propranolol is β-adrenergic receptor blocker with reported antioxidant effect and anti-inflammatory action , is used in treatment of hypertension mainly, and the main benefit in treatment patients with angina pectoris or myocardial infarction, add to role in central nervous system diseases as migraines and anxiety disorders, and tremor but rarely used in gynecology field in spite of many action either by beta receptor block or other mechanisms it acts with, such as anti _inflammatory, anticancer, antioxidant activity, pro_poptosis, and wound healing. In this review, we have discussed the various aspects of propranolol that can be applied in clinical gynecology in number of ways such as local contraceptive, in the treatment of Vulovaginitis by affected main criteria of Trichomonas and Guardia lamblia ,which is motility ,propranolol inhibited motility of both organism and consequence inhibition of the growth of both organism, for the treatment of genital hemangioma, We have also shed some light on experimental studies _ such as its effect on polycystic ovary and endometriosis

The present aimed to assess the utility of serum transferrin receptor (sTfR) and sTfR -ferritin index in diagnosing iron deficiency anemia (IDA) in children. Ninety children≤ 12years of age with anemia (6-59 months; Hb<11g/dl and5-12years Hb<11.5g/dl) were recruited. Serum iron, total iron binding capacity, percent transferrin saturation (%TS) and serum ferritin were measured in all patients. Sixty-two children with IDA (SF<15µg/l and/or %TS<16) were included in the study. Thirty-five controls were also studied (non anemic children without ID). sTfR was measured (ELISA) in patients and controls and ROC curve made. sTfR was significantly (p<0.001) higher in patients (6.0 ± 2.9 µg/ml) as compared to controls (1.2 ± 0.6 µg/ml). sTfR-F index showed a similar trend. The area under the ROC curve for sTfR was 0.985 indicating good diagnostic ability. The sensitivity and specificity of sTfR ≥ 2.25 µg/ml for diagnosis of IDA was 90.3% and 94.1% respectively. sTfR and sTfR-ferritin index are useful tests for the diagnosis of IDA.

Phyllodes tumors of the breast are rare fibroepithelial tumors in their malignant form, the gravity lies in high risk of local recurrence. We report two observations of patients admitted for the management of local recurrence of phyllode breast tumor. The average age of our patients was 39 years old. The size of the tumor ranged from 10 cm to 30 cm in diameter, with a localization exclusively on the right. Surgical management consisted of a enlarged tumor resection, followed by radiotherapeutic complement. Histologically, it was a phyllode tumor initially benign with slowly progressive evolution, to a phyllode sarcoma at one patient, and to a liposarcoma in the other. The evolution towards a malignant transformation can be explained in both cases by incomplete previous excisional gestures. This underlines the importance of early diagnosis and surgical management responding to oncological rules

The growing concern for Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activities and the importance of communication between organization and its stakeholders has led firms to become more committed and responsible to shareholders. The concern about how CSR activities positively and negatively affects shareholders perceptions has forced many companies to consider not only their financial performance but also their environmental and social impact on the society .This study, therefore, examines the impact of CSR activities on financial performance of Listed Industrial Goods Companies in Nigeria. The data were collected from the annual reports and accounts of the sampled companies for the period of ten years from 2005 to 2014. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlation and pooled Ordinary Least Square (OLS) regression via the use of STATA version 12.00. A panel data regression technique is employed. It was found that charitable donation, education and skills acquisition expenditure have positive and significant impact on the financial performance of listed industrial goods companies in Nigeria. Thus, the study recommends that industrial goods companies in Nigeria should increase their spending on donation and education and skills acquisition since they have positive impacts on their financial performance.

Dermatoglyphic analysis is one of the most authentic biometric technologies that provides authorized certification of identification. The present prospective study involves 114 female nursing students on an attempt to find out a correlation between the fingerprint pattern and ABO blood group system. It is a double-blind study wherein attentive supervision were done while examining the blood groups and collecting the fingerprints. The results unveil the fact that all the patterns are distinctive. The count of samples is far more in blood group „A‟, „B‟ and „O‟ as and when compared to that of „AB‟. Based on the prevalence of palmar sequences, loops are found to be the most common pattern, followed by whorls and arches. A further in-depth study suggests that the incidence of loops was more in the thumb, middle and little finger whereas whorls are prevalent in the index finger of A, B, and O blood group of both the hands. Definitely, a close association is found between the palmar patterns and individual digits of the left and right hand with the blood groups.
