C-reactive protein (CRP) was discovered by Tillet and Francis in 1930 as a substance in the serum of patients with acute inflammation that reacted with the C polysaccharide of pneumococcus. C-reactive protein (CRP) is an acute phase protein which reflects a measure of the acute phase response. CRP, which is present in only small amounts in healthy individuals, is involved in several processes of the unspecific immunologic defense. The serum levels of CRP raises with infection making it a positive acute phase reactant. This review mainly highlights the role of CRP in the field of Oral and maxillofacial surgery, It provides a knowledge based framework for interpretation and analysis of clinical observations of CRP in relation to infection and other pathologies in orofacial region.

Open and Flexible Learning is an excellent method of reaching all types of learners. It is truly a medium that helps to democratize education to all. Today, we are currently experiencing a time of constant evolution in the field of education in which students require more resources and tools to obtain the information and construction of knowledge. One such resource is the use of open and distance learning environment, where the lecturer assigns additional activities for the understanding of the concepts seen before. But there are times when the student does not understand the content because of the form it represents, making it necessary to have more options to facilitate the understanding of content through different ways that may be more attractive to the students, achieving more active participation in the subject and an affinity that leads to a better learning experience. This is the goal of the study, which proposes a model called “Learning Buffet Model” for designing Open and Flexible Learning content adaptable to the student´s learning style. This learning buffet model can be used as a fundamental model and applied in any area or discipline of education as it forces the consideration of four components (leaning style, content, pedagogy and technology) in the design of the lesson plan and subsequently enrich the learning environment with more specific learning objects the subjects taught.

Lumps in the breast are common especially in women of reproductive age, majority of these lumps which mimic or are suspected to be breast cancers clinically and radiologically are later found to be benign breast diseases histologically. This study therefore aims to determine the prevalence of benign breast diseases in this environment and describe the spectrum of histopathologic pattern of Benign Breast Diseases that is seen in Port Harcourt. A review of benign surgical breast specimen from the university of Port Harcourt teaching hospital was done. A total of 2002 breast specimens were diagnosed as benign between January 2007 and December 2011. 397 paraffin blocks were suitable for this study. No lesions from male patients or congenital lesions were observed in this study. 117 of these lesions (29.5%) were non proliferative breast lesions, 275 (69.3%) were proliferative breast lesions without atypia, and 5 (1.2%) were proliferative breast lesions with atypia. The commonest non proliferative lesion was fibrocystic change while the commonest proliferative lesion was fibroadenoma. The proliferative lesion with atypia was atypical ductal hyperplasia.

Water is one of the most significant or vital resource for humanity and basic human right contamination of water bodies is one of the areas of major concern in the public health. The aim of our study is to determine presumptive coliform count in water samples which are collected from different sites of TMU, Moradabad, U.P., India. Most probable number test was done to detect to the coliform bacteria in drinking water sample. Samples were collected from different sites of TMU and bacterial isolate was identified by culture, morphology and biochemical characterization of bacteria. Out of 50 water sample, 16 (32%) were positive in which coliform bacteria were present whereas 34 (68%) were negative in which coliform bacteria were absent. Positive water samples were contaminated with a multiple coliform (43.75%) and single coliform (56.25%) bacteria isolate. Out of 9 single coliform bacteria Escherichia coli 4 (25%) Pseudomonas 2 (12.5%) Citrobacter 1(6.25%) and Klebsiella 2 (12.5%) we found. Out of 16 positive sample 9 (56.25%) water sample were satisfactory, 4(25%) were suspicious sample, and 3 (18.75%) were unsatisfactory sample. On the basis of the result obtained, some samples from different sites were polluted with coliform and other pathogenic bacteria. So we would like to suggest that all water sources of drinking water should be planned and conducted through the proper sanitation, regular treatment, and supervision of water sources and regular estimation of bacteria.

Amongst the various complications reported for single visit endodontics, incidence of post endodontic pain (PEP) is the most common. To evaluate and compare the incidence, duration, intensity and nature of post endodontic pain (PEP) in single visit endodontic treatment, following biomechanical preparation (BMP), using K files with Step Back Technique, Protaper Next with Crown down Technique and Passive Ultrasonic Instrumentation (PUI) along with Protaper Next. 75 patients, with asymptomatic irreversible pulpitis in Maxillary anterior teeth were selected and treated with single sitting root canal treatment, by a single operator. Patients were randomly divided into 3 groups, Control (K files using step back technique), Experimental 1 (Protaper Next using crown down technique) and Experimental 2 (Protaper Next along with PUI). Patients were recalled, examined and asked to fill up questionnaire after 3hrs, 24 hrs, 48 hrs and 7 days of wearing-off of anaesthesia. On the basis of response given in the feedback forms, PEP was evaluated for incidence, duration, intensity and nature. Statistical analysis of the data was carried out using Chi square test and level of significance (p < 0.05) was evaluated. Incidence of PEP was identical in the two experimental groups, which was lower than the control group. Statistically, difference in the incidence of pain, amongst the three groups was found to be non-significant. The duration of pain was longest in Control group, with more patients, experiencing pain, whereas it was least in Experimental group 2. Across the groups, maximum patients experienced mild, continuous pain. Majority of patients experience PEP that is mild, continuous, localised and precipitated by trigger factors. It lasts longer, with hand instruments.

Abstract: Success of a complete denture relies on the basic principles of retention, stability and support. The increased interarch space in severely resorbed ridges of maxilla and mandible provides decreased support, retention and stability. In order to decrease the leverage, reduction in the weight of the dentures is recommended. This article describes a case report of an edentulous patient with severely resorbed maxillary ridge in which a simplified technique for fabricating a light weight hollow maxillary complete denture was used.

Abstract: In recent years, ground penetrating radar (GPR) has been widely used as a technical means to understand the characteristics of subsurface geological deposition. However, there has not been any ground penetrating radar to recognize the internal configuration of the dam. The aim of this study is to form a composite dam with a point bar stack. Firstly, the highest resolution frequency of GPR is selected, and then the data are taken in the study area. And eliminate the influence of various factors on data volume. On the basis of the previous work, the location, the formation mechanism and the spatial distribution of the composite dam are determined by measuring the location of the point dam overlap and the dip angle, inclination and thickness of the lateral accretion.

Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) is one of the commonest presenting symptoms in gynaecology out-patient department. The term dysfunctional uterine bleeding is used to describe abnormal uterine bleeding for which no specific cause has been found. Evaluation of histopathological pattern of endometrium is essential for appropriate management of patient with abnormal uterine bleeding. Endometrial biopsy could be effectively used as the first diagnostic step in DUB. This study was done to evaluate histopathology of endometrium for identifying the endometrial causes of DUB. This is a prospective study, undertaken in the department of pathology. This study consisted of 150 cases of hysterectomy specimens and endometrial scrapings received in the department of Pathology, Bhaskar Medical College and Satya Diagnostic Centre, Hyderabad, Telangana State. Total duration of study was 2 years i.e from June 2014 to November 2016. 150 endometrial lesions diagnosed on histopathology were selected for the final analyses. The most common age group presenting with DUB was 40–49 years (49.3%). The commonest pattern in these patients was proliferative endometrium (29.3%),followed by secretory endometrium (14%) and simple cystic hyperplasia (9.3%). Other patterns identified were endometrial polyp, complex hyperplasia without atypia, endometrial carcinoma, pill endometrium ,complex hyperplasia with atypia , endometritis , atrophic endometrium and adenomatous hyperplasia. Endometrial causes of DUB and age pattern was statistically significant with P value <0.05. Histopathological examination of endometrium should be done generously in women presenting with abnormal uterine bleeding especially after the age of 40 years to rule out malignancy. It is useful for diagnosis, to assess therapeutic response and to know the pathological incidence of organic lesions in cases of dysfunctional uterine bleeding prior to surgery.

Iraq is one of the richest countries in the world with natural resources, especially oil and natural gas. This country has been subjected to a series of wars and economic blockade for many years, affecting the country's infrastructure and causing the deterioration of services provided to citizens. Perhaps one of the poorest services is the fuel produced in the refineries of the country, as the Iraqi gasoline and diesel are considered of the worst fuels on the global level. The locally produced gasoline contains high sulfur content (500ppm) in addition to a high percentage of lead compounds to increase octane. Iraqi diesel is considered the world's worst with 1 to 2.5% of its weight is sulfur. Iraqi researchers have spared no effort to find alternative fuels that give better engine performance and lower exhaust pollutants while improving fuel consumption. This paper examines some of these efforts over the past years and the various findings of Iraqi investigators results using gaseous fuels such as natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas and hydrogen, in addition to the use of some additives to gasoline and diesel, such as oxygenates and biofuels to reduce the effects of sulfur associated with these types of fuel. Researchers have gone a long way in reaching multiple types and alternative methods of operation to reduce the pollutants generated by the engines, and it remains the responsibility of decision-makers to choose the most appropriate ones.

This study was conducted to identify any possible association between the different microorganisms within oral cavity of smokers and oral cancer patients. Isolates were collected from 30 volunteers; smokers and oral cancer patients during August and October 2013 in Khartoum Dental Hospital, Sudan. Swabs were obtained from both patients and smokers who were not diagnosed as diabetics or immunosuppressed. Administration of antibiotic, steroid or other treatment were taken in concern as well as age, gender beside smoking history. Each specimen was aseptically cultured on nonselective media under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions, then the conventional methods for identification were done. A total number of 45 bacterial isolates were represented by 6 genera of bacteria; (37.7%) Staphylococcus spp, (26.6%) Bacillus spp , (22.2%) Streptococcus spp , (8.8%) Peptococcus spp., Aerococcus spp and Micrococcus spp (2.2%), whereas 25 yeast isolates were represented by Candida albicans. In the smokers group; Peptococcus spp was detected only in subjects who is being smoking. Moreover, the study showed significant(r = 0.563) correlation between oral cancer and smoking. In patients group; Streptococcus spp and C. albicans were detected only in individuals without treatment. Counts of C. albicans were elevated in smokers group than patients, while, Micrococcus spp and Aerococcus spp were detected in patients but not in smokers. Study concludes that both of Micrococcus spp and Aerococcus spp may be considered as diagnostic indicators of oral cancer.

This study examines non-linear effect of fiscal policy (represented by increases in government consumption) on private consumption. Actually, it suggests that this effect depends on the nature of fiscal policy changes. Using a STR (Smooth Transition Regression) model on Tunisia data over the 1975-2010 period, this paper provides evidence that the expansionary effect of higher government consumption decreases when fiscal policy is expansive.
