Impact of COVID-19 on Oral Health

In December 2019 an outbreak of COVID19 occurred which is a severe acute respiratory disorder. Many succumbed to this global pandemic and many are still fighting the after effect of it. The virus directly affects the immune system especially of lungs. Therefore, the people who already have compromised immunity are at the very risk. The first symptoms to appear in COVID19 patients are ageusia and anosmia while treating the COVID19 patient’s certain practices are followed which aid in rapid oral health deterioration like oxygen mask, ventilators, heavy dose of medicines. Certain medicines used in treatment also precipitate poor oral health like bleeding gums, oral ulceration and dry mouth are the most common oral health problems faced after COVID19 recovery. COVID directly affects the immune system thereby making way for opportunistic infections like mucormycosis. Mucormycosis offers a severe burden on oral and general health affecting the standard of living and cause death in severe cases. Sinusitis, Periodontitis, black staining across the bridge of nose and sinus, localized discomfort and unbearable diplopia and refractive errors along with embolism and necrosis are seen in mucormycosis patients. Treatment of mucormycosis consists of surgery and replacement of lost structures Patients with compromised immunity need to take proper precautions during and after COVID.

Utilizing Guided Discovery to Promote Transfer of Responsibility Values in Young Children

Purpose: In a Teaching Personal and Social Responsibility (TPSR) program, Hellison noted that transferring responsibility values to areas beyond the gym was the most important aspect of a responsibility-based program. The purpose of this study was to examine how the use of guided discovery strategies in a TPSR program impacts and promotes how elementary students construct meaning and action related to responsibility values. Method: The participants were 12 second and third graders who attended an underserved public elementary school and were part of an after-school program. In the TPSR program, participants engaged in cooperative activities and researcher-led discussions, using the guided discovery teaching style, to promote transfer of life skills. Results: The findings indicate that the students better understood the meaning of responsible behaviors following an 8-week TPSR after-school program that included a heavy dose of the guided discovery teaching style. This, in turn, suggests that the guided discovery teaching style served to stimulate the transfer of these responsibility behaviors beyond the program. Discussion and Conclusion: Transfer is challenging to facilitate. Having a program that uses the scaffolded approach of guided discovery may be a key component in transferring responsible behaviors to areas outside of a physical activity program.

Design and Development of Mobile Healthcare Application for “Ayurvedic” based Clinical Documents

In the modern world, people need immediate remedies for their health problems. Without considering the future effects of the heavy dose medicines, people intake those medicines to get immediate relief. As a result, they forget the natural and side effects free home remedies. And there is no awareness among the current generation youngsters and kids. To overcome this problem, we are developing a mobile application in dart language using flutter framework [2]. It uses KMP Algorithm [4] to recommends the medicine based on their allergic conditions matching. By this our system recommends the natural homemade medicines for their temporary health issues. This will increase the acceptance of these homemade medicines among the people.

Evaluation of Azoxystrobin 11% +Tebuconazole 18.3% SC against cumin blight on farmers field

An on-farm trial on foliar application of broad spectrum fungicide Azoxystrobin 11% + Tebuconazole 18.3% w/w SC for control of blight in cumin was conducted on farmers field in Nagaur district during 2018-19. Cumin growing farmers were using spurious/ ineffective fungicides as well as heavy dose of pesticides. Un-necessary/un-relevant uses of fungicides were also noted among farming community. Under demonstrated practices farmer were advised to alternate spray of the given fungicides on appropriate time. Under demonstrated practices, farmers got maximum net return 102717 Rs./ha on spray of Azoxystrobin + Tebuconazole @ 1 ltr/ha followed by 87710 Rs./ ha net return on spray of Carbendazim + Mencozeb @ 1 kg /ha with minimum of Rs. 74950 /ha. net return from farmer’s practice.

Histological assessment for the effect of Cypermethrin in the skin of local breed rabbits

Research has been designed to focusing and evaluation the effect of cypermethrin as insecticide material in the skin of the rabbits. Cypermethrin was applied on the skin after shaving the dorso-lateral aspect of rabbits .The animals (12) were classified into four groups (A, B, C and D), three animals per group. Groups (B, C and D) were exposed to cypermethrin at doses (0.001, 0.005, 0.010)mg/kg respectively, while (A) was a control group. After ten days of drug's application, animals of group (D) were died at ending of the study because they received heavy dose. The groups (B and C) shown excitation signs, followed by inhibition and depression of their activity. The animals of groups (A, B and C) were scarified and a specimens (0.5) cm3 of skin from the dorso- lateral aspect were obtained, washed with water and put in formalin (10)% then processed after (24) hours by using histological technique, sectioned at (5)µm thickness, stained with Hematoxylin and Eosin a then examined under light microscopic at different powers. http://dx.doi.org/10.25130/tjps.25.2020.022

Lipid profile and alcoholism

Background: Alcoholism is a major threat to public health in both developed and developing countries. Alcohol has many effects on lipid profile, including inducing de novo fatty acid synthesis and inhibiting fatty acid oxidation in liver. Aim of this study was to study the effect of alcohol consumption on serum lipid profile in alcoholics and to compare with those of non-alcoholic controls.Methods: 100 cases and 100 age and sex matched controls were selected. These subjects were classified into, 1. Moderate alcoholics: Consuming ≤210 g per week 2. Heavy alcoholics: Consuming >210 g per week. Blood was taken in fasting state and lipids were estimated.Results: Among 200 subjects, 94% were male. 58.5% of the male and 83.3% of the female were heavy drinkers. Maximum number of alcoholics were seen in the age group of 41-50 years. The height correlated well with both control and study group. The moderate dose alcoholics had a higher weight when compared to control group and heavy dose alcoholics. The heavy dose alcoholics had a lower BMI when compared with the control group and moderate dose alcoholics. Heavy dose alcohol consumption was associated with a higher increase in triglyceride level. The total cholesterol level was significantly higher in the heavy dose alcoholics when compared with the control group. The HDL level was highest in the moderate dose alcoholics. The LDL level was highest in heavy dose alcoholics whereas, the moderate dose alcoholics had a lesser LDL level when compared with the control group. The VLDL level steadily increased with alcohol consumption.Conclusions: Patients with heavy alcohol consumption had significant increase in total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL and VLDL. The moderate alcohol consumers had significantly increased HDL and decreased LDL. These protective effects declined after heavy alcohol consumption.

Informality: a Window on Contemporary Emotions History

An intriguing and pervasive development in the history of the past century – in the United States and at least some other societies – has been the rise of greater informality in interpersonal relations. Almost everyone knows this has been happening – a class of college students can offer a number of valid illustrations (with a heavy dose of habits on social media), and some have lived through even more extensive changes in, for example, the way people dress. But the phenomenon is dramatically understudied, taken for granted rather than assessed or analysed. There is a serious historical topic here that should be addressed by a wider audience, with several dimensions for further evaluation.

Re-collecting old media

Amachan was shown as a serialised morning drama on Japan’s Nippon Hōsō Kyōkai (NHK) network between April and September 2013. New episodes played 6 days a week, with each instalment running 15 minutes. The combination of the long-form presentation and nearly day-to-day presence helped to integrate the drama into the daily lives of its viewers, and its narrative emphasis on family relationships, experiences shared across generations and nostalgic representation of 1980s popular culture imbued Amachan with a heavy dose of intimate sentimentality. This article will analyse the myriad of ways that Amachan entertains the possibility for public and private forms of media intimacy, focusing on questions of the temporality of broadcast formats, nostalgic representation of ‘old’ media and personal copies and celebration of television-centric models of celebrity.
