A total of 1169 dung samples from domestic ruminants were examined to record the prevalence of paramphistomosis infection. In cattle, the prevalence of infection by direct smear (DS) and sedimentation method (SD) was 17.43% and 31.19%, respectively. In sheep, the prevalence rates were recorded higher than cattle (26.09% and 33.18%). In goats, the prevalence of paramphistomosis was 20.66% and 30.52%. Out of 109 cattle carcasses, 47 were found with flukes in rumen, reticulum and bile duct during slaughterhouse examination (SH). In sheep and goat, the prevalence rates were 42.15% and 40.85%, respectively by SH. Age-wise the highest prevalence was recorded in cattle of 2-4 years (50.0%) by SH. In goats, the prevalence of infection was lower in the age group oflessthan1 year, when compared to their counterparts in sheep. In contrast, the higher prevalence was noticed in >1-2 years old goats (63.27%) than sheep of the same age group (36.85%). Sex-wise, statistically no significant difference was observed between male and female animals. Morphologically identified, Cotylophoron cotylophorum, Paramphistomum cervi, Gastrothylax crumenifer, Fischoederius elongatus and Gigantocotyle spp. In conclusion, an overall prevalence of 24.29%, 32.51% and 42.0% of paramphistomosis infection was recorded in cattle, sheep and goats by DS, SD and SH examinations, respectively.

Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease, highly prevalent almost around 10-15% of adults. Periodontitis is a group of chronic, progressive bacterial infections causing inflammation and destruction of supporting structures of teeth and has multiple factors affecting the quality of an individual's life. Diabetes is also a chronic inflammatory disease. Both diseases share a common platform in disease pathogenesis, a periodontal abscess is the sixth complication of diabetes, and there is clear evidence showing the relationship between periodontitis and diabetes Overall no clear evidence and studies which correlate diabetes and periodontal parameters. This study aims to compare blood sugar levels with demographic data age, gender and to assess the association between periodontal severity with diabetic status. Results: Periodontal severity was found to be greater in both male and female with diabetic Mellitus. 39 out of 52 subjects have generalized chronic periodontitis, and 13 was found to have localized chronic periodontitis. The age group of (50-70) years had high severity of clinical attachment loss. No significant difference between male and female on periodontal severity was found. Conclusion: This study concludes the age group of 50-60 years more prevalent among diabetes with periodontitis. The male is more affected by diabetes and periodontitis. The association between periodontal severity (CAL, PD) increases with an increase in blood sugar level was statistically significant.

AbstractA survey was undertaken to study the epidemiology of Toxocara spp. in 350 dogs and 181 cats. A prevalence of 82.6% was recorded for Toxocara canis and 42% for T. cati. The distribution of parasite burdens in both dogs and cats was overdispersed. The highest parasite prevalence rates and burdens were found in hosts of 12 to 24 weeks of age. No Toxocara parasites were found in cats between 0 to 4 weeks old. There was no significant difference in parasite prevalence between male and female dogs or between male and female cats. The relationships between host age and sex with parasite prevalence, burden and length are discussed. Female T. canis worms with mature ova and those with immature ova differed significantly with regard to their length. The relationship between the length of mature T. canis female worms and the proportion of body length occupied by the uterus was highly significant.

ABSTRACT Introduction The objectives were to see the nasal prominence norm and the gender dimorphism in nasal prominence measured by Holdaway's soft tissue analysis. Materials and methods The sample size was 100 (50 males and 50 females). The subjects included in the study were of Saudi origin with class I skeletal and dental relationship and all teeth present. The age group of the patients was between 18 and 28 years. The radiographs were traced and analyzed by two students and cross-checked by an orthodontist. The nasal prominence was measured according to the technique described by Holdaway. Results The descriptive statistics were calculated for both male and female groups. The mean value of nasal prominence when male and female samples were combined was 14.08 mm. No statistically significant difference was found (p = 0.083) when genders were compared. The level of significance was set at p < 0.05. Conclusion No statistically significant difference was found when genders were compared. The value for males was normal while the value for females was less than Holdaway's normal. Clinical significance These values would aid in treatment planning for orthognathic surgery and orthodontic treatment. How to cite this article Kundi I.

Nepal continues as one of the least developed economies of the world till date. The frequent changes in governance and political instability have contributed to the lack of entrepreneurial dynamism needed for stronger economic growth. Nowadays, bakery industries are the fastest growing small agro-industries leaving the footprint on day to day life in Palpa district. The male and female bakery workers of these industries experience some exigent conditions which prompted us to explore the physical, physiological, and nutritional health status of these bakery workers, with a special reference to the socio-political scenario in Nepal. This study was conducted in the Palpa district of Nepal. 78 male and 44 female bakery workers aged between 30-39 years were chosen for the study, as the young adults are more in this occupation. 38 healthy male and 26 female Bakery workers were chosen as control subjects for the study having same age group. All of them mostly were working as shopkeepers and housewives respectively from the same locality. All the different parameters were examined according to standard methods and Student’s t-test was executed to find out any significant difference (P<0.05) between the selected variables. Both the workers were noticeably healthy. But most of the female bakery workers were having obesity with significantly high obesity related parameters. Again, both the workers exhibited poor cardio-respiratory functions with significantly higher hypertension and peak expiratory flow rate and poor Physical fitness index (PFI) scores. The result suggested that both male and female bakery workers showed abominable conditions, especially the female bakery workers. Hence, there must be some acts to save them by introducing some occupational aids or planned work designs for sustainable economic development.

This study aims to evaluate changes of maxillary sinuses in growing subjects. Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) scans of 146 patients were divided according to gender and age (6–8, 9–11, 12–14 years old). Left, right and total maxillary sinus volume (MSV-R, MSV-L, MSV-Tot) and surface (MSS-R, MSS-L, MSS-Tot), left and right linear maximum width (LMW-L, LMW-R), depth (LMD-R, LMD-L) and height (LMH-R, LMH-R) were calculated using Mimics Research 22. Kruskal–Wallis Test and showed a statistically significant increase in both genders for all variables. Pairwise comparisons in females are always statistically significant in: LMH-R, LMH-R, MSS-Tot, MSV-Tot. All other variables showed a statistical significant increase between 9–11 and 12–14, and between 6–8 and 12–14 age groups, apart from LMSW-R, LMSW-L, LMSD-R, LMSD-L between 6–8 and 12–14 age groups. Pairwise comparisons in males are always and only statistically significant between 9–11 and 12–14, and between 6–8 and 12–14 groups. Symmetrical measurements (right and left) evaluated using Wilcoxon test retrieved no statistical significant difference. Comparisons between measurements on male and female subjects using Mann–Whitney test showed a statistical significant difference in 6–8 years group in MSV-R, MSV-L and MSV-Tot, and in 12–14 age group in MSV-R, MSV-L, MSV-Tot, MSS-r, MSS-l, MSS-Tot, MSW-R, MSW-L, MSD-R, MSD-L. Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) assessing inter-operator and intra-operator concordance retrieved excellent results for all variables. It appears that maxillary sinus growth resembles the differential peak of growth in male and female subjects. Sinuses starts to develop early in female subjects. However, in the first and last age group female sinuses are statistically significantly smaller compared to male ones. In male subjects, sinus growth occurs mainly between the second and third age group whilst in female subjects it starts between the first and second age group and continues between the second and the last. Sinus has a vertical development during the peak of growth, which is the main reason for its increase in volume.
