Aim: To find out the need of orthodontic treatment in patients visiting Nishter Institute of Dentistry, Multan (NID). Method: The index was applied using plaster models and intraoral examination. The measurements of various components of IOTN index was taken with the help of digital vernier calliper. Results: The results of various measurements of IOTN index was taken, recorded and analyzed statistically. Result of the present cross-sectional study showed that 65% patients were in grade 4 and 5 of IOTN. The analysis showed that 13% were in grade 4 of IOTN, 52% were in grade 5, 15% were in grade 3, 16% were in grade 2 and 4% patients was in grade 1 of IOTN index.

本研究结果表明,香港与长沙的青少年在对钦佩人物的选择上存在着明显的差异。概括起来,香港的青少年更喜欢理想-浪漫-绝对型名人,这些人突出表现为歌星、影星和体育明星;而长沙的青少年更喜欢现实-理性-相对型名人,这些人突出表现为著名政治家和文学家。在怎样看待所提名钦佩人物时,两地的青少年多将演艺界、体育界和政治界的名人当偶像看,而将自己的家人和朋友师长当榜样看。此外,港的青少年选择亲朋好友作为自己最钦佩人物的倾向要高於长沙的青少年,长沙的青少年则选择政治名人作为自己最钦佩人物。此次研究再次证明,偶像和榜样是两个不同的概念。根据上述结果,本文提出,当今青少年崇拜的主流是对歌星、影星和体育明星的“三星崇拜”,这与当今社会的商业化炒作有密切关系。本文还提出,在看待青少年偶像崇拜行为时,应区分遥亲感和即亲感两个概念。其中对遥亲感的满足可谓青少年偶像崇拜的主要目标和精神需求之所在。 The present study asked 258 high school students in Hong Kong and Changsha to nominate three most admired people in their lives and rate them on degrees to which they could become their idols and models. Hong Kong students mostly nominated celebrities in entertainment and sports industries while Changsha students mostly nominated celebrities in politics. Hong Kong students were more inclined than Changsha students to nominate family members, friends and teachers to be their most admired people. A clear distinction was also noted between idols and models. Based on the above results, the authors argued that "tri-star idol worship" constituted the mainstream of idol worship for young people nowadays and that a distinction could be made between remote intimacy and immediate intimacy in understanding adolescent idol worship.

Introduction: The Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need (IOTN) was proposedby Brook and Shaw, included an Aesthetic portion having ten levels and a Dental HealthComponent (D-IOTN) with five levels. The aim of present cross sectional research was to applythe D-IOTN in Pakistani subjects visiting Orthodontic centres of Faisalabad Medical Universityand de’Montmorency College of Dentistry. Study Design: Cross sectional study. Setting:Orthodontic centres, Faisalabad Medical University and de’Montmorency Dental College.Period: From 1.3.2017 to 1.10.2017. Materials & Methods: D-IOTN was applied to subjectsusing clinical intraoral evaluation method in which patients were evaluated on dental chair tograde various aspects of D-IOTN. The intraoral examination was done for missing teeth, cleftsof lip and maxilla, impeded tooth eruption and sagittal molar relationship. Vernier calliper wasused to measure the horizontal and vertical overlapping of incisors, transverse cross bite anddisplacement of incisal or posterior segments of arch. Findings were collected and recorded ona predesigned D-IOTN Performa. Results: Results showed that 68 % of the subjects neededdefinite orthodontic treatment, out of which 55% were females and 45% were males.

Background: This study is cross-sectional, observational and comparative study, at Index Medical College, Hospital & Research Centre, Indore, Madhya Pradesh from July 2017 to July 2019 with sample size 100 placentae. Method: The placenta received was evaluated blinded of maternal pregnancy outcome. The pattern of morphology was evaluated both qualitatively (type of lesion) and quantitatively (number of lesions). Result: In Present study 79% of the deliveries were term deliveries and 21% were preterm deliveries. On placental macroscopy, placenta weight was significantly low among the neonates of preterm deliveries (370.00±60.49) as compared to term deliveries (440.89±55.22). Preterm placenta had higher number of abnormal placental lesion compared to term pregnancies. Conclusion: The uteroplacental insufficiency defined as placental infarct, fibrosis of chorionic villi, thickening of blood vessels, and poor vascularity of chorionic villi. Placental histopathological lesions are strongly associated with maternal under perfusion and uteroplacental insufficiency. These are the reasons for preterm birth. Thus, knowledge of the etiological factor can be use to reduce maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortility. Keywords: Placenta, Term & Preterm.
