According to the outcomes of a clinical experience in more of two hundred patients, pressure focused on the wound bed prevents infection. We did a daily follow-up of the clinical course of the wounds, during the first few weeks, to detect any signs or symptoms of infection, in which case we would prescribe antibiotics, but this did not happen. We asked for cell cultures of the wound’s exudate, finding bacterial contamination, but no infection. The explanation lies in the antibacterial effect of monocytes.

This study will be very important because it is the first study will discuss in details the services which are available in Lagos State University Library. The researchers in this study will test and measure the quality of the services, and also test the user's satisfaction about these services and what are the users' needs. Total samples of 100 users of students were used in this study and a descriptive statistics were used to tabulate obtained results and gap analysis was used.

SACCOs are user owned and benefiting/ user-controlled organizations. They are strong tool for meeting societal socio-economic needs of Kenya even as the country if focusing on vision 2030. They mobilize savings, providing financial services, encourage investment, and are partners in wealth creation. The future window for innovation in SACCOs is now focused on school savings clubs, inter-SACCOs borrowing, SACCO bond products, health/ insurance product, affordable housing, and share capital redemption.

The aim of this retrospective study was to analyse the results obtained in 12 carpal scaphoid pseudarthroses that had benefited from a non-vascularised cortico-cancellous graft, in order to specify the factors influencing the results and to determine the ideal indications and limitations. Between 2015 and 2021, 12 patients received a non-vascularized cortico-cancellous graft. The average follow-up was 36 months. The average age was 31 years. For 5 patients, the fracture was not initially diagnosed and the average delay of diagnosis was 2 months.

The conditions of old-irrigated typical sierozem soils of the Kashkadarya region, when studying the sowing of rapeseed, oil radish, barley, peas and blue mustard in pure form, as well as a mixture of peas+oil radish as green manure crops in summer and autumn, the yield of biomass per hectare was 19,3-30.2 tons, in the spring 22.1-35.1 tons.

The current state of our knowledge allows us today to propose minimally invasive treatments that meet the major requirements of modern dentistry, thanks to new approaches and new materials. Minimally invasive restorations, including veneers, whose indications are still poorly understood, require good control on the part of the practitioner, a difficult preparation and a rigorous bonding.

The pressure focused on a wound leads to its healing, by the effect of the stimulation of arteriogenesis and angiogenesis in the affected area, with a surprising aesthetic outcome. The antibacterial and debriding properties of compression make it a fundamental therapeutic tool in wound management. I checked this effect, treating vascular leg ulcers by means of compression therapy, using a modality which I named “double focal compression bandaging”. The pressure is achieved using a pad-gauzes putted over the wound and fixing it to the skin with adhesive -tape.

Gingivectomy is the surgical removal of gum tissue. This procedure is used to treat gum disease and to eliminate deep pockets resulting from the detachment of gums from the teeth, or for esthetic reasons. Currently, gingivectomy is the most common procedure performed with dental lasers. All laser wavelengths can be used to precisely incise the gum for restorative, cosmetic and periodontal purposes. Rapid healing and reduced pain are frequently observed after gingivectomy and patients do not require periodontal dressings or sutures.

The Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT) is situated in southeastern Bangladesh having an area of 13,295 sq. km. The 3 hill districts of CHT (Khagrachari, Rangamati and Bandarban) remains behind in comparison to other parts in development indicators, such as poverty, income, food security, health, and education, and in access to roads, infrastructure, electricity, and credit facilities.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the clinical reasoning process among dental students at the Faculty of Dental Medicine in Casablanca. Materials and methods: A questionnaire including a clinical situation was distributed. 117 students in the last year of their training responded and the data were entered using a Microsoft Excel 2013 computer tool. Results: The majority of students were able to detect the objectives of the clinical case. 100% of them opted for pre-prosthetic care first and they placed prosthetic rehabilitation in the second step to replace the missing teeth.
