Sexual life and intimacy mainly is based by one’s personality, knowledge and attitudes toward others. Someone’s personality can tell us how they approach all sorts of different things in life, including sexual life. To audit sexual life it is necessary to assess it through asking people who have a regular partner or whoever they are having sex, or their last relationship. The study included 500 subjects from Albania and Kosovo. The questionnaire was delivered through Survey planet app. The audit was opened during June 2019. Questionnaire contains 15 questions with A, B, C alternatives. The data were analyzed through SPSS software. Using the program, a series of Student’s t-tests was conducted for independent samples and correlation analysis with Pearson’s coefficient. The answers were categorized in three categories: mostly A, mostly B and mostly C. Female respondents were 54.6 % whereas 45.4% male. The majority, 78% ranked in age group 21-50 years old, from whom 71.4 % were married. Mostly A score frequently found at 53.60 % of participants which sounds like they and their partners have a really healthy and satisfying sex life.  “Mostly B” answered by 32% of participants which means that they were mostly satisfied with their sex life, and it seems like sometimes they can feel a little disconnected. Mostly C score is most commonly found at 14.40% of participants. This study shows that more than a half of the participants have a satisfying and a healthy sexual life.

Abstract Background Mental disorders in patients with cardiovascular disease have a significant impact on the course, the prognosis of the underlying disease and quality of life (QOL). Objective We aimed to examine the prevalence of anxiety and depressive disorders and their impact on the quality of life in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). Materials and methods In 52 with permanent AF and 50 with paroxysmal AF patients, we administered the depression scale Tsung, the scale of situational anxiety (SA) and personal anxiety (PA) Spielberger-Hanin; QOL was assessed the SF-36 quality of life assessment scale. Correlation analysis using Spearman's rank correlation coefficient. Results The prevalence symptoms mild depression situational or neurotic genesis was 21.1% (12 patients) in Group 1 and 12.0% (6 patients) in Group 2 (p>0.05). Subdepressive state was two percents of patients in Group 1 and Group 2. The incidence SA was 59.6% (31 patients) in Group 1 and 52.0% (26 patients) in Group 2. The incidence PA was 74.0% (37 patients) in Group 2 and 67.3% (35 patients) in Group 1. The average score the physical component of health (PCH) was 29,8±4,3 in Group 1, the mental component of health (MCH) – 49.5±7.4 points; p<0.05. In Group 2: PCH – 44.8±6.6 points, MCH – 26.6±7.5 points; p<0.05. Correlation analysis showed negative strong correlations between SA and MCH (r=−0.64, p=0.0005) and between PA and MCH (r=−0.69, p<0.0001), between SA and PCH (r=−0.71, p=0.0001), between depression and PCH (r=−0.69, p=0.023). Negative statistically significant correlation between depression and MCH (r=−0.69, p=0.54) and negative medium correlation between depression and PCH (r=−0.64, p=0.23). Conclusion These findings suggest that we did not identify patients with symptoms of a true depressive (that can cause pseudodementia and influenced to complete tests). 16.5% patients with AF had mild depression of situational or neurotic genesis. Depression may be a pathogenetic factor of AF or develop because of paroxysms AF – psychological stress. More than 50% patients in Group 1 and Group 2 had an increased anxiety score. SA is more common in patients with permanent AF, probably because older people difficult to adapt to a new situation. PA is more common in patient with paroxysmal AF, probably because disease is sudden and causes anxiety. The PCH of QOL is more impairment in patients with permanent AF, because complications (for example heart failure) impairment physical activity. However, PCH also reduced in patient with paroxysmal AF, because disease is sudden may occur during physical activity. The MCH of QOL is more impairment in patients with paroxysmal AF, because waiting attack effect on mental health and social functioning. An increased level of anxiety and depression negatively affected the mental and physical health of patients with AF. Funding Acknowledgement Type of funding source: None

Very little studies were done on relationship of the dental status and the nutritional status. The present study was done to study relation between edentulism and the presence of anemia. The study was included of 46 adult patients with edentulism and same numbers of patients were taken as controls. The results were tabulated and analyzed with the help of IBM SPSS statistics 20 using student’s t test. The hemoglobin levels were lower in the edentulous patients that that of the control group. The present study had shown that the nutritional status were poor resulting in anemia in case of edentulous patients as compared to control group with the same age group.

Abstract Introduction Bilateral balanced occlusion is achieved when there is equilibrium on both sides of the prosthesis, due to the simultaneous contact of the artificial teeth in centric and eccentric occlusion. One of the areas in which research is lacking is the relation between sagittal condylar path (CP) and horizontal incisal path (IP) with optimal balanced occlusion. Materials and Methods Semiadjustable Articulator Artex Arcon AP with Rotofix facebow, 40 µ Bosch articulating paper of red and blue color, protractor, centric and protrusive interocclusal plaster records were used for the study on 50 completely edentulous subjects. Teeth arrangement was done with optimal balanced occlusion, and the numbers of contacts were recorded in centric relation and eccentric positions. Statistical analysis was done by using student’s t test and Karl Pearson coefficient correlation. Results The average sagittal CP was 30.38° in the age group of 40 to 55 years and 32.58° in the age group of 56 to 70 years, and the average horizontal IP was 15.79° in the age group of 40 to 55 years and 16.04° in the age group of 56 to 70 years.Statistically significant results were found between sagittal CP, horizontal IP with bilateral balanced occlusion in the age group of 40–55 years. Conclusion Statistically significant relations were found in balanced occlusion between waxed up denture on articulator, processed denture on articulator and processed denture on articulator after selective grinding. Balanced occlusion is more predictable in a younger group of individuals.

The study was undertaken to examine the socioeconomic profile of buffalo farmers and to assess the marketing and consumers preference on buffen (buffalo meat) in the selected areas. Twelve districts namely: Mymensingh, Jamalpur, Moulovibazar, Bhola, Bagerhat, Feni, Potuakhali, Noakhali, Laxmipur, Chittagong, Tangail and Sirajgong were selected purposively. A total of 1400 buffalo farmers were interviewed following simple random sampling technique. Data were collected during June 2011 to April 2016 and analyzed data using SPSS software. Study revealed that the highest per cent of farmers were in age group 31-45 years indicating that farmers were mature enough to give more labour to their farming activities. On average, 88 per cent buffalo farmers were engaged purely in agriculture followed by business and service as primary occupation. The highest numbers of farmers were illiterate followed by primary education, SSC, HSC and Degree. About 49 per cent buffalo farmers had above 15 years of farming experience of rearing buffalo. Average farm size was estimated 0.95 hectare indicating small and medium category farm and average family size was calculated 6 persons per family which is higher than national average 4.9. Dependency ratio was also estimated to 0.94. The study showed that buffen contributes 7.16 per cent of total red meat production and 6.19 per cent of total meat production in Bangladesh and about 50 percent farmers reported that they did fattening before selling of buffalo. About 48 per cent consumers reported that they prefer buffen most among different kinds of meats. In view point of butcher, about 46 percent consumer preferred buffen than beef.

Subclinical psychopaths are those individuals who have most of psychopath’s traits but doesn’t indulge in serious antisocial behavior and thus rarely get imprisoned1. Psychopaths have been generally reported to be low on ethical behaviours. This study is an attempt to see if subclinical psychopaths too are low on moral aspects like clinical psychopaths. For this study data of 279 young adults in the age group of 18 to 25 years were collected from various colleges and universities of Punjab. Correlation analysis revealed that subclinical psychopathy is negatively related to moral identity internalisation, however, no relation was found with moral judgement and moral identity symbolisation. When the two group subclinical psychopath’s ad non-subclinical psychopaths were compared they were found to differ on moral identity internalisation. With regression analysis subclinical psychopathy was found to be a significant predictor of moral identity internalisation.

Background: Poisoning is being more frequently encountered nowadays, both globally and locally. Knowing what poisons are involved more commonly and what kind of victims present with this condition, helps the clinicians to manage and treat the patients in a better manner and lessens the mortality rates. Objectives: To determine the age group and gender most vulnerable to fatal poisoning. To identify the agent used for poisoning. Material & Methods: The descriptive retrospective study was carried out King Edward Medical University, Lahore and reviewed the autopsy records of victims of fatal poisoning from January 2018 to December 2019. The data was analyzed using the SPSS software.  Results: In the total 67 cases of poisoning that were studied, majority of the victims were males (85.07%).Most of the cases fell in the 21-30 years age group (53.73%), followed by the 31-40 years age group (23.88%).The overall mean age of the victims was calculated to be 32.597 years. Morphine was found to be the toxic agent in most cases (32 cases; 47.76%), followed by Dextromethorphan (26 cases; 38.80%) and codeine (19 cases; 28.35%).  Conclusions: Poisoning is a serious issue that is more frequently encountered in our young adult and male population. Since narcotics were found in major share of the cases, measures should be taken for more strict control.  Keywords: poisoning, autopsy, mortality, drug toxicity

Oral health status of a population depends on edentulism (partial). Tooth loss has an impact in various aspects of quality of life of an individual. The prevalence and extent have been reduced in various countries because of advancing technologies. Various different classifications have been proposed in the previous literature for partial edentulism. This cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted from the period of June 2019 to April 2020 between the age group 25-40 years for the population visiting a private dental college. Data collection was done and statistically analyzed using SPSS Software. Out of the 4829 population included in the study, 42.4 % were female and 57.6% of the males. Based on the age, 50.3% were within 25-30years, 25.1% of them were 31-35 years and 24.6% of them between 36-40 years. Based on gender, Females were 42.3% and males were 57.6%. There was a significant association between the age, gender and missing tooth. It can be concluded that the prevalence of edentulism increases with age, thereby needing prosthodontic rehabilitation.
