The incidence of atypical fractures associated with prolonged bisphosphonate therapy has increased because of widespread use for treatment of osteoporosis. They can occur following a minimal or no trauma andpresents as thigh or groin pain. Because of the atypical presentation of these fractures, they may go unnoticed for weeks to months before presenting with a completed femoral fracture. So it's important to keep the overall balance of risks and benefits of bisphosphonate therapy. For some people, the benefits of the bisphosphonate therapies far outweigh the risks involved. The purpose of this article is to highlight the clinico-radiological features leading to early detection and management of such atypical fractures

Hypertension is an important public health- challenge in the developing and the developed world alike. However, hospital-based studies on cardiovascular diseases including hypertension in a developing country like Nepal have been limited. Objective: The objective of the present study was to determine the awareness of hypertensive patient about self-care and complication management. Methods: A total of 50 adult hypertensive patients over who attend in medical outpatient department and in patient department of Manomohan Cardiovascular Thoracic and Transplant Centre, Tribhuwan University Teaching Hospital, Kathmandu, were included using a descriptive research design. The data was collected by face to face interview, using a questionnaire consisting of a combination of structured and semi- structured questions from 8 April 2012 to 6 May 2012A.D. This study shows that only 14% of respondents were aware about hypertension while highest number of respondents (56%) was moderately aware about it. Only 15% of respondents were unaware about it. Total awareness score is 45. Average level of awareness is 27.14. It can be concluded that the awareness level of hypertensive patients is still low. The modification of life style is satisfactory for most risk factors, except for few like salt intake, additional salty food. So Focus should also be given on modification of lifestyle for reducing the adverse consequences of hypertension. Data analysis was done by using SPSS 16 version

Normal pregnancy is associated withchanges in lipid metabolism and high metabolic demand accompanied by elevated tissue oxygen requirements and increased oxidative stress. The present study was carried outto evaluate lipid profile and total antioxidant status in pregnant women at UCTH, Calabar, Nigeria. Serum lipid profile and total antioxidant capacity were estimated in ninety (90) apparently healthy pregnant women aged between 18 and 40 years and thirty non-pregnant controls. Test subjects were divided into three trimesters based on their gestational age. Blood samples were collected from all recruited participants; total antioxidant capacity and lipid profile were analyzed using colorimetric methods. Lipid profile parameters and TAC varied among the various trimesters of pregnancy and in the controls (P<0.05). Controls had significantly higher mean values of TAC compared to the 2nd and 3rd-trimester group (P<0.05). The first trimesters group had higher TAC and lower mean total cholesterol and LDL-C compared to the 2nd and 3rd-trimester group (P<0.05). Third-trimester group recorded higher mean value of TG compared to the 1st trimester and control group (P<0.05). Pregnancy and increasing gestational age may be associated with decreased total antioxidant capacity and increased TC, LDL-C and TG

Abstract: Management of the nasal tip is the most challenging step in rhinoplasty. Control over nasal tip projection is essential. A variety of techniques can be used to improve the position of nasal tip. The aim of the present study was to compare the changes of nasal tip between a novel tip plasty technique and the conventional sheen graft one. In this clinical trial study, 60 patients referring for rhinoplasty to the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Tabriz University of Medical Sciences, were included. The subjects were randomly divided in two groups: a new tip plasty technique was used for the first group and the conventional sheen graft technique for the second group. The nasal tip changes were compared between them. The means of tip projection were 28.92±4.16 and 26.95±7.30 preoperatively in groups A and B, and they were 33.00±3.86 and 31.29±6.35 after surgery, respectively, with no significant differences in between. The means of tip rotation before surgery were 114.10±7.53 and 113.08±9.94 in groups A and B, while these figures after surgery were 119.46±7.21 and 117.58±8.92, respectively. The new technique is as effective as conventional technique in improving nasal tip. Although the new technique of rhinoplasty is much easier.

Abstract: The relative effectiveness of Information Communication Technology (ICT) and its consequences in this fast-changing world was endless. This paper investigates mobile phone, It usage, proficiency and it’s constrain in Nigeria. Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) has brought tremendous changes in individual way of life and societies in general where people who stay far from one another can easily link together with wireless phone. A mobile phone also called mobile cellular telephone, or cell phone can be regarded as an electronic device used for two-way radio telecommunication over a cellular network of base stations known as cell sites. Most mobile phones provide voice communications, Short Message Service (SMS), Multimedia Message Service (MMS), and provide Internet services such as Web browsing and email etc. It promotes significant benefit to education, business transaction and social life in general. While on the other hand it contributed a lot toward spreading anti-social act, immorality and ill health to some extent etc. An official statistic by Nigerian Communication Commission (NCC) revealed that there are about 150,660,631 active mobile phone connections in Nigeria as at the end of third quarter 2015. Uses of mobile phone good or bad are two side of a coin. Every good thing when abuse can be harmful, so it is with mobile phone. Minimizing the amount of time spent using mobile phone, speaker mode use or a headset use and public awareness on proper cell phone use pattern would help toward having optimally benefited from having mobile phone.

Nguyen Phu Loc, Bui Phuong Uyen
Page no Sch. Bull.; 2016, 2(4): 182-184 |
N/A
Abstract: In this study, we used the concept “didactical contract”, which was introduced by Guy Brousseau in 1980, as a tool for finding out the errors of students. In order to illustrate this approach, we used the type of a task: “In the space Oxyz, write the general equation of a plane (P) passing through point A(x0, y0, z0) and parallel to two straight lines: (d1) and (d2) ((d1) and (d2) are not parallel to each other)” which was mentioned in mathematics textbooks of Vietnam. We formulated the hypothesis H: there exists a rule of didactical contract: When solving the problem, students don’t verify whether (d1) and (d2) are parallel or not; therefore, students will commit errors in the case of (d1) and (d2) are parallel. The results of study showed that many students committed errors in solving the exercise because of the above didactical contract.
