Introduction: Dental esthetics is one of the most wanted procedures in the current business of dentistry. It is more common among the young aged patients, who tend to undergo whitening procedures more than the older aged patients. This process of teeth whitening is scientifically known as bleaching. A study was conducted by Al-Amriet al(2017),which focused on the reasons behind bleaching use and the extent of people's desire in demanding for such treatment. It was found out that majority of the patients were unaware of any side effect dental bleaching might be associated with.

This paper looks at Paul Kalanithi’s When Breath Becomes Air as an autopathographical account that narrates the trauma of the illness. It aims to examine the text as narrating the process of healing and recovery. The text traces the change in attitude and understanding of the narrator of life and mortality which further leads to the sense of recovery that the narrator achieves. The paper will also look at the narrative as bridging the gap between the medical world and literature.

To examine the association between adhesive capsulitis and other various disorders, an analytic study of (96) patients with adhesive capsulitis and (96) patients without adhesive capsulitis was conducted. The data were analyzed and showed the following results. Among adhesive capsulitis cases the female: male ratio was 2 : 1. The peak age of onset was (50-59) years in both sexes. All patients (cases and controls) were screened for a number of possibly associated disorders.

Objective: Teach high school adolescents to identify a Cardiorespiratory Stop and how to take basic life support. Method: Report of an extension activity called "Realistic Simulation in Emergency and Emergency", in the period from April 5 to June 29, 2018, with high school students from public and private schools in the metropolitan region of Belem, Para. Results: In total, five educational interventions were performed through a realistic simulation of the basic life support maneuvers for 500 students from the 1st to 3rd year of high school.

Due to the increase in life expectancy, the number of elderly people in the world has increased 2, causing concern in health systems and social care. The present study aims at the general evaluation of the health status of the elderly in a Brazilian city, for the construction of disease prediction instruments.

Background: Standing and sitting is a natural human posture. Working in a standing position on a regular basis can cause sore feet, swelling of the legs, varicose veins, general muscular fatigue, low back pain, stiffness in the neck and shoulders and other health problems. Aims and Objectives: To assess the prevalence, to identify the risk, to find out the association between the prevalence and risk with variables and to identify the deficit areas of knowledge in view to prepare a pamphlet for early detection & prevention of varicose veins.

This study aims to map the environmental impact in the valley lower basin of the São Francisco river, caused by liquid waste from the sewage and wastewater from two hospitals located in the cities of Juazeiro / BA and Petrolina / PE, identifying the composition of the waste and its potential risk to health and environment and can affect local population and quality of water supplied population and irrigation.

This article is based on the premise that the simplification in the use of costing methods is an alternative to the use by small business. Combining internationally recognized methods, it was possible to create a new methodology for calculating production costs, identifying constraints on production and time-based analysis.

Plant nutrition at optimum quantity is essential for sustainable crop yield. Among all plant nutrients, nitrogen occupies a significant position. Therefore its balanced rate and timings for higher yield of crop plants needs to be investigated. The experiment was carried out to investigate the effect of split N application on the growth and yield of bitter gourd. The field trial was laid out in a three replicated Randomized Complete Block Design at the experimental field of Horticulture Department, Sindh Agriculture University Tandojam having plot size of 5.0 m x 6.0 m (30 m2).

The basic parameters like viscosity (η), density (ρ) and velocity (U) can be measured by ultrasonic Interferometer. From these three parameters various thermodynamical and acoustical parameters such as specific acoustic impedance (Z), Intermolecular free length (Lf), adiabatic compressibility ‘s (β) etc can be estimated using standard relations from measured values of Ultrasonic viscosities, densities and velocities in the wide range of concentrations at 350 C, 400C and 450C temperatures for Acetone + Propanol-2 +chloroform tertiary system.
