Abstract: Background: Patients complain of sense of rotation may have otolith dysfunction and this may be the cause of dizziness in undiagnosed patients. Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the otolith function in patients with dizziness. Subjects and Method: Control group consisted of 20 normal adults who had no vestibular complaint with bilateral normal peripheral hearing. Study group consisted of 42 adults which divided into two subgroups, subgroup IIa (patients with normal VNG results) and subgroup IIb (patients with abnormal VNG results). All patients underwent basic audiological evaluation, office test, videonystagmograghy (VNG) and both cervical and ocular vestibular- evoked myogenic potential (VEMPs) tests. Results: c-VEMPs was abnormal in 52.27% in patients of subgroup IIa and in 45% in patients of subgroup IIb. o-VEMPs was abnormal in 40.9% in patients of subgroup IIa and in 37.5% in patients of subgroup IIb. These abnormalities were in the form of absent waves or delayed absolute latencies. Discussion: Dizziness ranks among the most common complaints in medicine. However, the term dizziness encompasses a variety of different sensations, rotational vertigo or other illusory sensations of motion might indicate a vestibular origin. Conclusion: Patients complaining of dizziness and VNG results normal or even show abnormalities should be evaluated by VEMPs to exclude presence of otolith affection contribute to dizziness.

Abstract: Agricultural led transformation is one of the way-through to achieve fast development and sustained food supply in Ethiopia. As the country economy largely depends on agriculture, traditional poultry production is practiced across the country and playing significant roles in the livelihoods of rural households. It is the sector whereby little technology intervention potentially come-up with big impacts and one of the fertile area of investment with huge demand for the introduction of improved poultry packages at large. Poultry Biotechnology encompasses assisted breeding and reproductive biotechnology like Artificial insemination to the advanced tools of cloning and genetic engineering used to alter the existing genetic compositions of chickens to improve their health as well as their productive performance. The high quality product from transgenic eggs and meat can also boost human health. Concomitantly, biotechnology tools reinforce the process to scale-up current small-scale farm in to the large intensive poultry farms. The lesson learned so far by the government and few private investments also indicated promising success. On-top of this, policies and regulations that uplift practical acceptance of biotechnology is indispensable. In this regard, the current review was written to provide compelling foundations to initiate biotechnology research and commercial investment on poultry sector in Ethiopia.

Abstract: Background: Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in the body and constitutes 61% of the total pool of amino acids in the human muscle. It is the most important circulating “nitrogen shuttle” accounting for 30%-35% of all amino acid nitrogen transported in the blood and serves as important precursor for the de novo synthesis of nucleotides, nucleic acids, amino acids, proteins, and glutathione. Objectives: To evaluate the effect of intravenous glutamine supplementation on the postoperative complication rate and duration of hospital stay in colorectal cancer patients. Patients and Methods: Type of Study: Prospective analytic study, study Setting: Ain-Shams University Hospitals and Tanta Cancer Institute, Study Period: from May 2018 to December 2018, Study Population: Patients underwent colorectal cancer surgery. Results: In our study, the median C-reactive protein levels were significantly lower from day 7 in glutamine group in comparison with control group but still higher than normal range. At days 10 and 14, the CRP level reached the normal range. These suggests the positive effects of glutamine in relieving the stress response in colon cancer patients. The detected high C-reactive protein levels could result from the presence of some factors that affect the CRP levels like fever, leukocytosis, the surgical maneuver and the presence of inflammation. Conclusion: We found that early postoperative supplementation of parenteral glutamine in addition to standard nutritional support in patients that underwent colorectal cancer surgeries reduced the incidence of postoperative complications and improved the outcome in those patients.

Abstract: Background: Conventional surgical management for varicose veins entails flush ligation of the SFJ, LSV stripping and stab avulsions of the varicosities. Although this surgical modality is safe and effective at short-term and midterm follow-up, it is not rare for recurrence, hematoma, and skin infection to occur after the surgical procedure. Rarely, massive bleeding due to injury to femoral veins, or even to the femoral artery during surgery, and mortality from pulmonary embolism and DVT can happen. Therefore, novel treatment modalities have been developed over recent years to overcome the limitations of conventional surgery. Within the last two decades, radiofrequency ablation and endovenous laser treatment (EVLA) have been introduced as an important new endovenous ablative techniques for the minimally invasive treatment of superficial venous reflux and varicose veins. Therefore, we performed the present systematic review and meta-analysis in order to evaluate the short and long-term outcomes of EVLA compared to conventional surgery. Objective: To assess the role of endovenous laser ablation in comparison to conventional surgery in treatment of primary varicose veins. Materials and Methods: An electronic search was conducted from the inception till December 2018 in the following bibliographic databases: Medline via PubMed, SCOPUS, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), EMBASE, LILACS via Virtual Health Library, and Google Scholar to identify relevant articles. We used different combinations of the following queries: ((“("Laser Therapy"[Mesh] OR "endovenous laser ablation") AND "Varicose Veins"[Mesh]). The search have been done with no limit regarding the year publication. Results: In the present study, we searched Medline via PubMed, SCOPUS, Web of Science, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), LILACS via Virtual Health Library, and Google Scholar from their inception till December 2018. The search retrieved 1645 unique records. We then retained 49 potentially eligible records for full-texts screening. Finally, 17 reports of 11 RCTs (Total No. of legs =2524) were included in the present systematic review and meta-analysis. Conclusion: EVLA is a safe and effective treatment alternative for patients with primary varicose veins. The present systematic review and meta-analysis show that EVLA has, at least, comparable efficacy to conventional surgery in terms of recurrence rates, disease severity, and quality of life. Further high-quality long-term studies are still needed to confirm our findings.

Abstract: In conjunction with these aspects, it is imperative to call into context the opening quote. The lines highlight certain important aspects that demand attention while studying a vibrant area like Indian Literatures in Englishv, particularly poetry. The main points of contention are the multiple ways of engagement with language and the need to examine how Indian poets have deftly manoeuvred it, which becomes the focus of this research on Kamala Das. In short, cosmopolitanism refers to the opinions and behaviors emerging from the theory that cultural and artistic activities should have neither national nor parochial boundaries even when defined by them. In other words, it emphasizes a dialogue among differences, thereby validating itself as a tool in analyzing the gamut of Indian Literatures in English, particularly poetry. Now, therefore, you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, having being built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the cornerstone, in whom the whole building, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord. In whom you are also are being built together for a habitation of God in the spirit.

Abstract: Meena Kandasamy is the polemical writer who utilizes her pen as a sword to fight the monster that is Caste. Kandasamy uses her poetry as a means of violent resistance against the nationally ingrained and prevalent system of caste. Kandasamy’s attempt to bring out an alternate version of feminist poetry to give independence to the voices of non-dominant caste women strikes a parallel with the final phase of Gynocriticism. The very notion of the ‘body’ of the third world woman, especially the underprivileged woman bring it closer to the postulation of the “subaltern” in Spivak’s essay Can the subaltern speak? (1985). Spivak points out the threefold oppression faced by these women i.e. patriarchy, race and domination by first world feminists. Spivak asserts that the “subaltern” should favour to write their own body and stories. Kandasamy’s attempts to dig out the inscribed voices from history and to reread them retrieves the diffusive traces of suffering and pain which are often overshadowed by the facade of empathy shown by the dominant existing socio-political discourse. Meena Kandasamy tries to problematize this camouflaged circulation of power through her intensely inquisitive poetry. Active resistance or revolutionary activism, the discourse which seeks to analyze what needs to change and set it right, is the core theme of Kandasamy’s raw and out rightly unbridled poetry, “full of jagged edges” (Duarte). Hailing from a caste-conscious background, her poetry reflects a society that grants inhuman sanction to caste discrimination and violence on Dalits. Kandasamy uses her poetry as a means of violent resistance against the nationally ingrained and prevalent system of caste which enables dominant caste people to subjugate the non-dominant caste persons. The title of her first anthology Touch reiterates the most inhuman of stigmas attached to Dalits — their very touch being considered polluting. Kandasamy’s poem Touch voices her sentiments towards the predicament of her community set by the starkly biased and hypocritical Hindu Brahmanical system.

Abstract: The study examined the impact of Pencom Scheme on civil servants’ productivity in Rivers State, Nigeria. The research design adopted was the survey approach through the use of structured questionnaire. The population of the study consisted of all the servants in Rivers State which is given as 2,794 employees. A sample of 350 staff selected from Rivers State civil servants in Port Harcourt was drawn for the study. The analysis was done through descriptive and inferential statistical tools. The findings among others revealed that majority of the respondents prefer to save outside any pension scheme while others do not know bow to calculate how much they need to save for retirement. The study also found that dependence on budgetary provisions, bribery and corruption, tedious payment procedures, poor staffing, poor record keeping, lack of adequate and timely budgetary provisions and increases in salaries constitute the key limitations to effective and efficient implementation of Contributory Pension Scheme (CPS) in Rivets State. It revealed that the main policy options open to government to ensure efficiency of the CPS in Rivers State included: Maintaining of discipline in pension administration and management, ensuring seamless funding of the retirement scheme, establishing a uniform set of rules, regulations and standards for the administration and payments of retirement benefits and improving the living standard of the elderly people through prompt payment of their retirement benefits. In conclusion, it is clear and evident in the study that: there is positive/significant relationship between the deductible-saving of worker’s salary and the efficiency of workers in Rivers State civil service and there is positive/significant relationship between the deductible- saving of workers’ salary and the efficiency in Rivers State civil service. Therefore, it is recommended that Pension Fund Administrators (PFAs) should be transparent and accountable in their dealings with their clients through regular update of their customers account status.

Abstract: Two metal- amino acids complexes in aqueous basic solution, [CoL2(H2O)2], [FeL3] with L=Valine anions were synthesized and analyzed by means of IR spectroscopies, powder X-ray diffraction analysis, magnetic susceptibility measurements and molar conductivity. Molar conductivity measurements showed that the composition of the metal complexes correspond to a metal-amino acid ligand ratio of 1:2 for Cobalt (II) complex and 1: 3 for iron (III) complex. The IR spectra showed that the amino acids act as bidentate ligands with coordination involving the carboxyl oxygen and the nitrogen of the amino group. The result also suggests the presence of coordinated water in cobalt (II) complexes. Magnetic susceptibility measurements suggested a six coordinate local symmetry around the (octahedral symmetry) around Co (II) and Fe (III) ions. Magnetic susceptibility studies also revealed that the complexes of Co and Fe are paramagnetic with values of magnetic moments ranging from 5.10-6.00 BM for Fe (III) and 4.3-5.2 BM for Co (II) complexes, respectively. The results also suggest that the ligand, valine is a weak field ligands as its formed high spin complexes. Powder XRD studies confirmed that the amino acid complexes are crystalline in nature and that they largely crystallized in monoclinic. It also suggests that the bonding mode in the complexes is similar. The antimicrobial studies showed that the amino acid ligands are biologically active and their metal complexes showed significantly enhanced antimicrobial sensitivity against the studied microbial strains in comparison to the free ligands.
