Introduction: Thyroglossal cysts (KTT) are congenital malformations due to lack of resorption of the trunk connecting the base of the tongue to the Lalouette pyramid. Objective: To analyze the epidemiological, clinical and therapeutic profile of thyroglossal cysts in Guinea. Methodology: From 2010 to 2016, we conducted this retrospective study, involving 18 cases of KTT, operated in the ENT department of Donka University Hospital. Results: The average age was 05 years, with extreme ages of 04 years and 13 years, a sex ratio of 1.18.

In the search for comfort in the face of physical or psychological disturbances due to work, nursing workers use the use of drug therapies, mainly through self-medication, and in particular, to the consumption of Psychoactive Substances (SPAs). To discuss the consumption of psychoactive substances by nursing workers and to reflect on the extent to which these professionals are vulnerable to these substances. This is a reflexive study.

Introduction: Endoscopy is a means of investigation and therapy in ENT. The purpose of our study was to evaluate its indications and results of endoscopy in the ENT department of the Kankan Regional Hospital. Methodology: This was a retrospective descriptive study lasting three (3) years from January 2015 to December 2017. Our variables were epidemiological, clinical, diagnostic, therapeutic and progressive. Results: During these three years, 372 endoscopies were performed. Male predominance was observed (70%) with a sex ratio of 2.33.

This study presents results of Activity Concentrations, Absorbed dose rate and the Annual Effective dose rates of naturally occurring radionuclides (40K, 232Th and 226Ra) absorbed in 7 soil samples collected from different areas within the Pandogari mining sites in Niger State, North Central Nigeria. A laboratory γ-ray spectrometry NaI (Tl) at the Centre for Energy Research and Training (CERT), Ahmadu Bello University Zaria, was used to carry out the analysis of the soil samples.

A study that aimed to get to know the aspects of an oncological patient’s health and its environment, in the time interval between the symptom, its diagnosis and its treatment. Field research, quali-qualitative approach, exploratory and longitudinal character. Thirty-four cancer patients took part in it. Participants were selected by accessibility. Data collection used semi-structured interview script. Based on the Content Analysis technique, four categories were created: (a) Symptom; (b) Diagnosis; (c) Environments and Relationships; and, (d) Coping Strategies.

Preflight search on the model of utility of constructive layout applied to ensure precisely the possibility of fire in furnace devices, a general analysis of the current state of technology R & D in this area of study was presented. The research methodologies were initially associated with the following keywords cook *, furnace *, control *, device *, in the ESPACENET database. The results show that the prospection of this provision is uniform and with a peak in the year 2013 and the main holder of patent documents on this utility model is China.

Composites may be obtained by the mixture of two materials, which one of them is a polymer, with the objective of produced a material with a specific characteristics. Vegetable oils (VO) are mixture with conventional polymer to improve biodegradation capacity without loss mechanical properties. VOs polymers are an alternative to conventional polymers on composites. Previous studies showed that the mixture of Moringa oleifera polymer (PMO) with polyethylene (PE) and biodegradable polymer (PB) producing a composite with high biodegrading capacity maintaining mechanical properties. M.

The paper focuses on the relationship between Knowledge Management (KM) and its practices in fulfilling the functional and operational expanse of Organizational Learning (OL). The paper finds that the effect of KM is irreplaceable. But it is not equivalent to promoting self-critical reflection, the questioning of everyday routines and patterns of action (expressed in leadership and milieu knowledge), which should lead to innovations and finally to the generation of strategic competitive advantages.

Improving the engineering property of soils by the addition of admixtures is called the soil stabilization. Stabilization was carried by different methods. In the present study different admixtures were used with black cotton soil with varying percentages and carried out the proctor test. Here black cotton soil was mixed with 10%, 20% and 30% of admixtures such as cement, FA, GGBFS, SF Metakaolin and RHA. Proctor test was carried out to find the maximum dry density and optimum moisture content.

A field experiment was conducted at research and demonstration block of Research Institute on Organic Farming, UAS, GKVK, Bengaluru during 2016 and 2017 to study the effect of different proportions of organic manures viz., compost, vermicompost and poultry manure on growth and yield of okra. The experiment was laid out in Randomised Completely Block Design. There were twelve treatments consisted with different proportions of organic manures and these were replicated thrice.
