Background: The “rule of thirds” is a universal rule governing facial symmetry and attractiveness through facial proportions. Aim: The aim of this cross-sectional observational study was to analyze whether “the rule of thirds” resonates with a considerable portion of the Gujarati population by evaluating the proportion of upper, middle and lower third facial height. Methods: The study included 202 subjects aged between 20 to 25 years out of which 100 were females and 102 were male.

Mahurzari is a fossiliferous area with a wealth of fossil woods that are being closely examined for botanical identification. Determining the age of the Intertrappean beds, as well as the paleoclimate and paleogeography of the area, will undoubtedly be made easier with the proper interpretation of the fossil plants found there. The fossil sample was gathered from the Deccan Intertrappean Beds of Mahurzari, Barad. Wood is dicotyledonous, with diffuse porous vessels mostly solitary and in multiples of two. The perforation Platels straightforward.

The Western Ghats are a chain of mountains traversing Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Goa, Maharashtra and Gujarat spread over 140,000 sq km and its forests include some of the best representatives of non-equatorial tropical evergreen forest. The Western Ghats contain more than 30% of all plant, fish, reptiles, bird and mammal species found in India. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is one of the eight “Hottest biodiversity hotspots”.

The present study investigates the seasonal diversity and conservation status of invertebrate fauna in Nirmal Lake, a freshwater ecosystem located in the suburban region of Mumbai, Maharashtra. A comprehensive survey was conducted across two stations during pre monsoon and post-monsoon periods to document the occurrence and abundance of molluscs, macrozoobenthic invertebrates, and aquatic insects.

Abstract: Background: Fracture-related infection (FRI) represents a significant post-traumatic complication, with diagnosis often hindered by its heterogeneous clinical presentation, and differentiating FRI from non-infectious conditions can be difficult. Aim: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between the expression of immune markers CD64 and CD66b on monocytes and neutrophils in patients with FRI, focusing on postoperative changes.

TORCH infection complex comprises of infections caused by Toxoplasma gondii, Rubella virus, Cytomegalovirus (CMV), and Herpes simplex virus (types 1 and 2). Syphilis and hepatitis B, Human Immuno-deficiency virus and Zika virus are sometimes included in this group. These infections are associated with adverse fetal outcomes and reproductive failure in pregnant females.

A simple, precise, accurate sensitive and specific RP-HPLC method for the determination of Linezolid in pharmaceutical dosage form. Chromatogram was run through Sunfire C18 150 x 4.6 mm, 5m. Mobile phase containing 0.01N Potassium dihydrogen phosphate: Methanol taken in the ratio 65:35 was pumped through column at a flow rate of 1.2ml/min. Buffer used in this method was 0.01N Potassium dihydrogen phosphate (4.8ph) buffer. Temperature was maintained at 30°C. Optimized wavelength selected was 252.0nm. Retention time of Linezolid  was  found  to  be  2.469  min.

Regenerative dentistry is an emerging and interdisciplinary field that seeks to restore the structure and function of damaged dental tissues using principles derived from stem cell biology, tissue engineering, and molecular science. This review paper offers an in-depth overview of the development, ideas, and prospects of regenerative dentistry treatments. By integrating biologically driven approaches with clinical practice, regenerative dentistry offers promising alternatives to conventional dental treatments such as root canals, implants, and prosthetics.

The use of information technology (IT) in this twenty first century is rapidly gaining root in many industries including construction due to its numerous benefits. In the area of promoting communication, social media handles may be viewed as propelling factor and that this study zoomed into the proposition to establish whether social media handles could be explored as effective way to enhance communication in the construction industry.

Introduction: Humeral non-union, which can occur in conservatively treated fractures and surgically managed cases, presents significant challenges. Combining non- vascularized fibular autografts (NVFG) with locking compression plates (LCP) may offer a reliable method for achieving bone union and restoring function in such patients. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the functional outcomes of autologous NVFG and LCP for failed fixation of humeral shaft with atrophic gap non-union.
