Irritant contact dermatitis due to synthetic undercast padding is rare complication of plaster cast treatment which is underreported in orthopedic literature. Pruritis was the main symptom a few days following the application of the cast in our patient. However, the symptoms were underestimated by the treating physician. Severe irritant contact dermatitis can occur against the polyester undercast padding and should be kept in mind in patients whom complaining of pruritis under the treatment of casting

The vaccination system is divided into two categories in China. The first is mandatory vaccination, mostly free and using domestic vaccines under the National Immunization Program. The second is alternative vaccination, which patents must pay for. In March 2016 Shandong Province in China, a vaccine scandal occurred, which is known as the Shandong problematic vaccines incident. The incident involved 24 provinces and regions in China, The vaccine safety affects hundreds of millions of people. And all the problematic vaccines involved are second category vaccines. It exposed a variety of existing problems for the Chinese second category vaccines supervision system. Based on the analysis perspective of supervision elements, this paper makes a case study by analyzing the five supervision elements, which include: the subject and objects of supervision, supervision institutions, supervision resources and supervision environment. And it focuses on the problems of the Chinese second category vaccines supervision system exposed in the case, including: the administration level and the team scale of supervision subject-as not match with its duty; the interestoriented awareness of supervision objects being insufficient; the vaccine tracking institution not being complete; the professional supervision of human resources being insufficient; the participation of social supervision being insufficient.

Due to their hard nature, the oxvandium (iv/v) ions have a good affinity towards O,N, donor ligands. The interaction of UO2+ with hydroxy carboxylic acid is also important because of their varied geometries. The vanadium atoms in the complexes are hex-coordinated and the coordination sphere is of the type [vo(oo) (NN)] where o-atoms are of oxo, carboxylic and phenolic type and N-atoms are of pyridine type. The sixth coordination position site is occupied by phenolic oxygen of neigh-bouring molecule forming a bridge, the (V=O) confirms, the hexa coordination. All the complexes have dxy' type axial EPR spectra and they exhibit two Ligand field transition at 740 and 440 mm

The main objective of the study was to evaluate the possible analgesic and central nervous system (CNS) depressant effects of methanol (MMPL), petroleum ether (PMPL), chloroform (CMPL), dichloromethane (DMPL) and aqueous (AMPL) extracts of the M. paniculata leaves. Analgesic effect was evaluated by acetic acid induced writhing and hot plate methods at 50 and 100 mg/kg dose. The CNS-depressant effect was assessed by using open field, hole cross and head deep tests at 100 and 200 mg/kg dose. All the extracts had exhibited significant (Pb < 0.01, Pa < 0.001) analgesic and CNS depressant effects at dose dependant manner. AMPL showed maximum analgesic effect with 72.92% inhibition of abdominal writhing and 33.03% maximal possible effect (MPE) of paw licking time at 100mg/kg dose. On the other hand, CMPL had shown highest CNS-depressant effect with 93.80% inhibition in open field, 84.63% inhibition in hole cross and 81.54% inhibition (head deeping) in head deep test at 200mg/kg dose. Among the five extracts AMPL is a potent analgesics and CMPL is a potent CNS-depressant agents. These findings may unveil the efficiency of these extracts as analgesics and CNS depressant drug which may lead to develop a new phyto-medicine

Bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) is a major urological condition characterized by impedance of urine outflow from the bladder into the urethra. The causes are numerous and commoner in aging males. The result is renal impairment if not addressed promptly. The aim of this study was to highlight the pattern of serum creatinine and urea in our patients population during the period under study and to define any association between the causes of BOO, age of patients and their renal status. One hundred and three (103) case notes were retrieved, twenty (20) did not contain complete investigation results needed for the study and were excluded. Eighty-three (83) patients entered the study with requisite results. Age ranged from 19-93 years with a mean of 61.70 + 11.139 years. Data on clinical history, physical examination, diagnostic and treatment modalities were collected and analysed. Serum creatinine was abnormal in 42.2% and urea in 24.1% of patients. There was neither statistical significant association between the renal status of respondents and causes of BOO nor their renal status and age at diagnosis

Abstract: Slice interpolation in medical images is one of the important concepts in medical image processing in which many attempts have been made to improve it. In general, it is divided into two groups that are intensity-based interpolation and object-based interpolation. This article is an overview of object-based interpolation, based on image registration. Due to the various types of image registration and curvature registration as the latest one, interpolation is done on the basis of this type of registration. According to this, there would be an optimization problem which is solved by the use of Euler-Lagrange. In this regard, an optimization problem converted into a partial differential equation that is solved by using finite difference method. Then, by applying the solution an optimal displacement vector for moving the image is obtained.

Abstract: Scoliosis deformity is characterized as a lateral deviation of the spine in three-dimensions accompanied by axial rotation of the vertebrae. In this paper by surveying on the mathematical model of spine movement, we simulate the growth of scoliosis disease of a patient by using finite element method for vertebrae T1-T6 of spine. For this purpose by using Newmark method, we first deal the numerical solution of the given mathematical model. We will also explain the growth process of this disease by using geometric drawing in Matlab environment. Moreover, numerical simulations based on the mentioned process are presented.

Abstract: The Kadugolla community is very backward and even the economic position of men of this community is hopeless and pitiable. In such a scenario one can understand the plight of the women folk. But things have started to change in the recent times and the Kadugolla women have been able to lift themselves up from the perennial state of discrimination and inequality.

Abstract: In this paper, we propose a non-monotone trust region method for solving equality constrained optimization problem. Unlike the traditional trust region methods, our algorithm uses a new non-monotone strategy. Theoretical analysis indicates that the new method preserves the global convergence under some mild conditions.

Powder metallurgy is emerging day by day as a concrete solution to the new age scientific problem. Every metal has its own characteristics and limitations. Powder metallurgy confluences the good characteristics of different metals into one product, but requires a correct combination of various sub-processes associated with main process. Powder metallurgy conquers the power of 4 P,s i.e. Precision as producing near net shape, Performance as fast and consistent , Productivity as higher output and Price as low considering lesser secondary operation needed. Some important mechanical properties of the different Ti-Nb alloys are analyzed in relation to the human implants. This paper reviews different sub processes of powder metallurgy and their combination for the biomedical application of different power metallurgy products. Papers also describe some advancement in manufacturing techniques and powder metallurgy sub processes that enhance the behavior of materials for human implants.

Urinary schistosomiasis though a neglected disease is endemic in many rural communities in Nigeria and is second only to malaria. The present study was carried out to determine the current status of urinary schistosomiasis in Ilie, a rural community in Southwestern Nigeria. Urine samples were collected from 320 school pupils (4-15 years old) and examined for ova of Schistosoma haematobium. Out of the 320 urine samples examined, 131 (40.9%) had ova of S. haematobium. The prevalence of urinary schistosomiasis between the male (42.8%) and female (39.0%) participants was not significantly different (p = 0.49) but prevalence increased significantly with increase in age (p = 0.002). The overall geometric mean intensity of infection was 38.2 eggs/10 ml urine. The intensity of infection was not dependent on sex (p = 0.79) or age (p = 0.69). The overall prevalence of haematuria in this study was 26.3%. The prevalence of haematuria was independent on sex (p = 0.72) but varied significantly with age (p = 0.01). Haematuria was significantly associated with urinary schistosomiasis (p < 0.001, OR 37.1, 95% CI 19.4 - 71.0). This study shows that urinary schistosomiasis is quite endemic and still actively transmitted in Ilie and appropriate control measures are highlighted
