Objectives: To evaluate the impact of the maternal body mass index on the pregnancy outcome. Materials and Methods: 100 women with singleton pregnancies during a 2-month period, were categorized into 5 groups based on their maternal Body Mass Index (BMI). The maternal and the neonatal outcome were noted in all the groups. Results: In the underweight group, the incidences of anaemia and postpartum hemorrhage were more, while the overweight and the obese women had a higher risk for PIH, gestational diabetes and postdatism. There was no significant increase in the perinatal mortality rate.

Many systemic diseases have unique oral manifestations that can aid a primary-care clinician in making a diagnosis. Careful oral examination may reveal findings suggestive of a systemic disorder. The fact that the oral mucosa may reflect internal processes of the whole organism is ancient knowledge. Therefore, it is extremely important to know that the oral mucosa plays a role in numerous systemic diseases, in some cases oral symptoms being the first manifestation of a disease. In the present review discusses some of the significant signs which act as clinical guide.

Primitive Neurectodermal tumours are a group of malignant neoplasms of presumed neural crest origin previously termed as “Neuroepithelioma”.They are small round blue tumours which are sub classified based on differentiation and occurs mostly in brain and very rarely in the spinal cord. We report two cases of primitive neurectodermal tumour in young adult female patients. One is in the spinal cord of a young female and another is a primitive neurectodermal tumour with neuroglial differentiation. The diagnosis was made based on the morphological and immunohistochemical examination.

Plant Variety Protection is a form of Intellectual Property Right granted to the breeder of new plant variety in relation to certain acts concerning the exploitation of the protected variety which require prior authorization of the breeder. Plant breeders developing new plant varieties are able to apply for different kinds of Intellectual Property Rights (IPR). However, this is the result of complex historical process that only resulted in the consideration of plants as suitable for intellectual property protection at a global scale.

To meet the future demands and tackling the challenges, the O&G industry needs more than just going for discovering the unproven hydrocarbon reserves. Technologies way beyond the available ones requires tremendous development, to achieve the objective of recovering oil. To overcome such shortcomings, there should be scope and facilitation of development and application of those researched and developed technologies. Ample of understandings has to be considered about the rheology of the drilling fluids that are being put to operation in reaching deep targets of oil.

Background: In 2011, 41 countries experienced water stress with approximately 24% of them depleting their freshwater supply. They had to rely on alternative water sources such as roof harvested rain water (RHRW) with uncertainty about its bacterial safety for human consumption as well as domestic use. Objectives: We aimed to study the presence of bacterial pathogens in roof-harvested rain water, their sero-typical identity as well as their antibiotic susceptibility profile.
