  • BENEFITS OF LASERTHERAPY IN BONE SURGERY AND IMPLANTODONTICS

    It is essential to perform the dental implant if we observe the quantity and quality of the bone remaining in the patient, because the main determinant factors in the prognosis of successful implants are: the professional’s experience and the amount of bone available in the patient. Bone cavities, under normal conditions and provided that the etiological agent has been eliminated, are repaired through a natural biological process. The extent and speed of repair, however, depend on the anatomical location; etiological agent; the size of the lesion; and the biological characteristics of each individual. Therefore, a long period of time may be necessary for the complexion of the repair process, thus exposing the patient to unnecessary risk and discomfort. Edentulism is one of the most frequent problems that affects the elderly population and results in pathophysiological changes of the maxillary edges and the modification of its structure. The advent of dental implants revolutionized the direction of dentistry in the last two decades of the 20th century when its clinical indication was universalized, thus covering oral rehabilitation in individuals totally or partially toothless. Research has shown a good acceptance of most of the materials used in the manufacture of dental implants, which should be biocompatible with tissues since the success of the procedure depends on the implant-tissue interaction. The indications of dental implants require careful planning and careful analysis of several factors, among which stand out: the evaluation of the quantity and quality of bone tissue in the implant receiving area and anatomical accidents that limit the application of techniques in conventional implantodontia.

  • Evaluations of faba bean (Vicia faba L.) Genotypes for agronomic traits and crude protein content across seven faba bean

    Faba bean (Vicia faba L.) is an important cool season protein rich food and feed legume belongs to fabaceae family. Twelve faba bean genotypes were evaluated in 2018/2019 cropping season across seven environments in Ethiopia using randomized complete block design with four replications. The combined analysis of variance showed highly significance difference among genotypes, environments and genotype by environment interaction effects (P

  • RESPONSE OF FIELD PEA (PISUM SATIVUM L.) GENOTYPES TO ASCOCHYTA BLIGHT (MYCOSPHAERELLA PINODES) DISEASE

    The yield of field pea in Ethiopia is partly hampered due to the prevalence of Ascochyta Blight disease. 49 field pea materials including 21 introduced field pea materials; 19 single plants selected from bulked gene pool materials and 9 released varieties were evaluated under field condition of two environments using simple lattice design to identify resistant genotypes. The current study revealed that considerable variation was found for response against ascochyta blight diseases and yield performance even if high level of resistance materials were not identified. High degree of disease severity was observed at Kofele site than Bekoje. Out of the total 49 genotypes; 16 genotypes (GPHA03, GPHA019, GPHA06, GPHA01, GPHA018,P-313-010 , P-313-045 ,P-313-086, P-313-082, P-313-071 , P-313-065 , P-313-098 , P-313-061 , P-313-068 , P-313-067 and PDFPT-BEK) were moderately resistant and the remaining 33 materials were susceptible to ascochyta blight disease. Genotypes PDFPT-BEK, P-313-067,P-313-010, and P-313-082 were relatively high yielder and moderately resistant materials. To confirm with the present finding, it must be further studied in a number of years and locations with more number of genotypes and to get more resistant genotypes for further breeding purpose.

  • THE PROVISION OF THE MODERN AND SPECIAL FEATURES OF AREALING OF THE MOUNTAINS AND BLACK LANDS IN THE GEDABEY DISTRICT

    In soil genetic factors, soil-absorbing factors have always been in the spotlight. The formation of genetic strata of the soil and the variation of time depending on various spatial factors remains a widespread and urgent topic in the classical soil science, which has been continuously monitored to date. It is well-known that the most favorable approach to the study of soils can be achieved by obtaining a comprehensive set of data by studying its interrelationship of the environment and natural complexes, studying its dependence on time and space. They were also studied here the probability of the intensity of the erosion process and the prerequisites for its mitigation and control. The results of the research prove that soil erosion is based on natural and anthropogenic factors. The main objectives of the study were to determine the amount and level of development of worn and erosion-prone soils in the foothills of the country, where it is very difficult to develop on the slope soils of Upper Gedebey. Therefore, in this connection, the tasks are solved, taking into account the requirements of preserving the ecological situation in the example of the Gedebey district of the Upper Lesser Caucasus zone of the Republic of Azerbaijan, where the areas of its potential danger are identified and the preconditions for its prevention are given. It is recognized that the study was conducted Lesser Caucasus zone of the republic where the incline height reaches 800-1000 m From sea levels.

  • Numerical simulation of propeller jet field based on Star-ccm+

    During the ship’s voyage, the propeller jet affects the movement of silt at the bottom of the bed. To research the influence of the bottom boundary on the propeller jet field, this paper takes the standard propeller DTRC4119 propeller as the research object and uses the CFD software Star-ccm+ to carry out a numerical simulation of the propeller jet under uniform flow. The flow velocity distribution of the jet under four operating conditions is mainly analyzed, including the axial velocity, tangential velocity and radial velocity of the jet. The results show that the distance between the propeller and the boundary does not affect the magnitude and distribution of the velocity on the initial plane but affects the shape of the axial velocity and the velocity on the central axis in the development zone; The closer to the bottom boundary, the greater the disturbance of tangential velocity and radial velocity, the peak value of tangential velocity will be affected and changed from central symmetry of velocity to unanimous trend earlier. The radial velocity contributes less to the overall velocity and can be ignored

  • Study on the generalized model of the lateral frictional resistance distribution under the ultimate state of the bored piles based on stratum structure

    Based on the results of the ultimate load distribution of the part of the bored piles in the vertical static load field test of single pile, combined with the analysis of the relevant piles and soil data, found that the lateral friction resistance distribution of the bored pile in the ultimate load state was mainly related to structure of the soil layer on the pile side. Based on this, the side resistance distribution mode of the pile under the ultimate load conditions is generalized into a trapezoid, wing-shaped, micro-arc, and “R” shaped. The lateral friction resistance of the pile is positively correlated with the hardness of the soil, and the depth, thickness can influence the pattern of distribution of lateral friction resistance.

  • Stress and Complicacy Among Relationships: A Major Health Concern

    On Valentine’s Day, the sight of couples holding hands and hugging each-other might unleash a wave of jealousy in those who are single. However, there might not be much to be jealous about. Also, marital quality clearly colors one’s overall sense of well-being, and marital distress elevates health risks, says a leading clinical psychology journal. However, the simple presence of a spouse is not necessarily protective; a troubled marriage is itself a prime source of stress, and simultaneously limits the partner’s ability to seek support in other relationships. The worst distance between two persons in a relationship misunderstanding. Indeed, the relationship between life satisfaction and marital quality is stronger than life satisfaction’s ties to either one’s job or one’s health.

  • Drug Induced-Stevens Johnson Syndrome

    Background: Stevens–Johnson syndrome (SJS) is one of the severe forms of cutaneous adverse drug reactions. Despite it is rare, SJS is highly weakening and life-threatening illness commonly occurs as a result of medications, which is characterized by fever and mucocutaneous lesions leading to necrosis and sloughing of the epidermis. Objectives: This case report professionally provide feedback on clinical practice guidelines, offer a framework for early signals of effectiveness, adverse events; and to share the case for medical, scientific or educational purposes. Methods: This is an observational type of case report which we observed in Arba Minch University Students’ Clinic during outpatient diagnosis. Discussion: Despite ciprofloxacin induced SJS had reported in different areas by different scholars with different duration on antibiotics, clinical manifestations, duration of recovery and complications; but itis the first report in Ethiopia. Conclusion: This case concludes that severe hypersensitivity reactions like SJS can be caused by ciprofloxacin use which can be potentially life threatening. Therefore, identifying medications causing SJS is of paramount importance to withdraw it immediately and for additional treatment.

  • Erythropoietic and hepatocurative profile of Yoyo Bitters® – A pilot study

    The present study evaluated the effects of a branded Nigerian polyherbal formulation, Yoyo® bitters on the haematological and biochemical status of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-intoxicated rats. Thirty (30) healthy male Wistar rats used in this study were divided into 6 groups of 5 rats each. Group 1 served as normal control and received 3 ml/kg body weight (b.w.). of distilled water only while group 2 served as experimental control and was intoxicated with H2O2 without treatment. Rats in groups 3-5 were H2O2-intoxicated and treated with 1, 2 and 3 ml/kg b.w. of Yoyo® bitters respectively while rats in group 6 were H2O2-intoxicated and treated 100 mg/kg. b.w. of silymarin. H2O2 was administered intraperitoneal on day 0 while drugs were orally administered from days 0 to 14. The rats were sacrificed on day 15 and blood samples collected were subjected to haematological and biochemical analyses. Intoxication with H2O2 significantly (p < 0.05) induced haematotoxicity, oxidative stress and hepatotoxicity when compared with control. Treatment of intoxicated rats with the formulation restored the haematological and biochemical status to normal, suggesting that Yoyo® bitters has erythropoietic and hepatocurative effects. However, future studies are required to confirm these effects in different in vivo models.

  • Azaraqi (Strychnos nux-vomica L.) herb for nervous and musclos-keletol system

    Nature has always been a giver, bearing rich heritage of natural products which arebeing utilized by mankind since their existence. Azaraqi (Strychnos nux-vomicaL.) is a potential herb used for the treatment of various neuronal illness, muscloskeletol and joint disorders. This comes under category IV of drugs as per Unani literature which needs to be detoxified prior to clinical use.The healing properties of Azaraqi (Strychnos nux-vomicaL.) are substantially those of the alkaloids strychnine and brucine, which are considered toxic.The perception of lesser side effects of herbal formulation among the people especially in developing countries raised the market of treatment by natural products. However, there is need to put forward the scientific evidence of these formulation regarding toxicity as well as efficacy as then only evidence based medicine would only be able to make position in globalized world as an alternative of conventional treatment available. This review article will discuss the potential pharmacological actions; toxicity developed due to Azaraqiresulted out in different preclinical and clinical studies. The authors will try to make a suggestion for future based on finding of these studies.
