Results: After four weeks, results were definitely observed with a decrease from 8 mm gingival exposure to 3 mm. Conclusion: The use of Botox isa conservative treatment in patient with short upper lip and gummy smile. However the improvement is temporary and must be repeated every six months to one year.
Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate whether the nocturnal panic attack has different features and might be considered as a sub type or not. Methods: Socio demo graphic data form, SCID-I, SCID-II, Panic and Agoraphobia Scale (PAS), Hamilton Depression Scale (HAM-D), Beck Anxiety Scale, and Bakırkoy Panic Disorder Behavioral Changes Form we reapplied to the participants. Fifty-one of the 98 patients were suffering from Nocturnal Panic Attacks according to the inclusion/exclusion criteria. Results: It was revealed that 47.9% of the panic disorder patients were suffering from nocturnal panic attacks. The most frequent symptoms in nocturnal panic disorder cases were experiences of feelings like drowning, lethargy, palpitation, vertigo, fear of death, and anxiety. The existence of nocturnal panic attacks was found to be related with severity of the disorder and com or bid depression. Moreover, com or bid sleep disturbances characterized with troubles in falling sleep, difficulty in sustaining sleep, feeling tired in the morning were observed. There were sleep related avoidance sand behavioral changes. Panic disorder patients with nocturnal panic attacks were found to avoid sleeping, or going to bed al one. Conclusions: Panic disorder cases with nocturnal panic attacks had more severe symptoms. From here, it can be concluded that it might be a subtype of panic disorder.
This study examines the situation of child domestic workers and attitude of child specialist about child domestic work towards ILO new standards of decent work for domestic workers among 120 child domestic workers in five selected areas of Dhaka city and 15 child specialists from five different groups. The study has been employed both qualitative and quantitative method. Findings of this study revealed that the education level of child domestic workers is very poor and the major portion (79.2 per cent) has no access to non formal education. The promising things were found by the study that (75.83 per cent) child domestic workers wish to go school and continue their study. Almost all (73.3 per cent) did not get any full day off during the week and (21.7 per cent) CDWs get rest breaks 3-4hours and alarming thing is found that (19.2 per cent) did not get any opportunity to take rest during the day.
This study integrates past research and proposes a framework for measuring service quality of internet service providing firms in Bangladesh. The paper highlights the overview of internet service providing firms and identifies some features that are considered by Bangladeshi consumers for using internet service with the help of simple arithmetic mean method. Attempts have been made in the paper to measure the service quality using Parasuraman’s SERVQUAL Model and determining the actual position of internet service providing firms depending upon five quality dimensions of different firms. The result reveals that consumers of Akij Online Ltd. are fairly satisfied on the empathy and responsiveness dimensions. On the other hand the consumers of Grameen Cyber Net Ltd. are fairly satisfied with the tangible and empathy dimensions. The study has also been done to prove that consumers of Link3 firm are fairly satisfied with the assurance and tangible dimensions.
Wireless sensor network design is critical and resource allocation is a major problem which remains to be solved satisfactorily. The discrete nature of sensor networks renders the existing skeleton extraction algorithms inapplicable. 3D topologies of sensor networks for practical scenarios are considered in this paper and the research carried out in the field of skeleton extraction for three dimensional wireless sensor networks. A skeleton extraction algorithm applicable to complex 3D spaces of sensor networks is introduced in this paper and is represented in the form of a graph. The skeletal links are identified on the basis of a novel energy utilization function computed for the transmissions carried out through the network. The frequency based weight assignment function is introduced to identify the root node of the skeleton graph. Topological clustering is used to construct the layered topological sets to preserve the nature of the topology in the skeleton graph. The skeleton graph is constructed with the help of the layered topological sets and the experimental results prove the robustness of the skeleton extraction algorithm introduced. Provisioning of additional resources to skeletal nodes enhances the sensor network performance by 20% as proved by the results presented in this paper.
An eight week feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the potential of Gliricidia maculata leaf meal as dietary protein source in the diet of Cirrhinus mrigala fingerlings. Four experimental diets were formulated to contain 20%, 30%, 40% and 50% G. maculata leaf meal (Diets 1 – 4) to partially replace other protein ingredients in the C. mrigala diet. The diet containing 0% leaf meal served as the control. Each dietary treatment was tested in triplicate groups of 10 fingerlings. The results of the growth and feed utilization responses show that there were no significant differences among the fish fed diets 1 – 3 but were significantly different from fish fed on diet 4 which had lower growth and feed utilization values. The present findings show that G. maculata leaf meal has good potential for use as one of the protein sources in C. mrigala diet up to 40% level without compromising growth.
Advanced computer science is very important in applied medicine, we have several publications regarding use of data mining computing technology in many clinical fields, here we will present to our experience in gastroenterology and surgery using data mining in obesity related gastrointestinal motility disorder;(IBS) and surgical bariatric approaches .Obesity is a chronic disease that is increasing in prevalence worldwide, data from United States and those from other countries are indicative of a major international epidemic, a steady and distressing increase worldwide, whatever numbers of large epidemiologic studies have evaluated the relationship between obesity and several morbidities. Obesity –related-morbidities are common diseases affecting population. Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common gastrointestinal disorder with special concern for those with comorbid or morbid obesity, characterized by chronic or recurrent abdominal pain with constipation, diarrhea and/or an alternation of the two, and often bloating. Patients often use manipulation of diet as a mean of controlling symptoms. Adopting a healthy lifestyle, one that includes not smoking or drinking excess alcohol, eating right, daily physical activity, and a healthy weight, is associated with improving IBS-related morbidities. Bariatric surgery would be the clue therapy if diet and medical therapies fail. Novel El Banna techniques are bariatric maneuvers succefuly performed to those with morbid or comorbid obesity in more than 200 patients. Although data mining is very common applicable method in economy and global trade, it is not fully known by most of physicians and surgeons worldwide, for its limited use in applicable medicine. To our knowledge ,there is no previous studies can evaluated such a relationship between IBS and BMI using Data mining computing analysis, also we used data mining to compare both El-Banna bariatric techniques, to look for the best leading factors in both El Bannabar
In this present work effect of temperature and graphite contents on the microstructural and mechanical properties of iron based powder metallurgy freeform was studied. The different graphite (carbon 98%) contents (0%, 2%, 5% and 10%) were mixed in iron powder and compact them in 100 KN. These specimens were sintered at 700⁰ C, 850⁰ C and 1000⁰ C in muffle furnaces. Microstructural properties were evaluated using scanning electron microscopy. Experimental results were compared to determine to best combination of graphite and iron powder preform. Maximum density was found between the range 2% to 5% graphite contents and temperature at 850⁰C.At graphite contents increases from 0% to 2%, the microstructure of the iron-based powder sintered specimen changes gradually from ferrite and a small amount of pearlite to pearlite, after 2% of graphite contents the microstructure was found pearlite and ferrite. As graphite increase up to 5% gray cast iron structure and at 1000⁰ C temperature range white cast iron structure found on the surfaces.
This paper builds on previous studies and examines the barriers to strategy implementation by mid sized companies in Kenya. The study looks closely at the barriers which can either be internal; management, communication, human factors such as resistance to change, leadership, organizational structure, information systems and technology or external factors; changes to the operating environment, un-anticipated competition or entrants by new players in the industry and changes in government policies. It further recommends ways on how to overcome these barriers.
