Abstract:-Diverticular diseases of colon form an important differential diagnosis in cases with right sided abdominal pain. The overall prevalence of diverticular disease is low but their importance lies in the fact that the incidence has been increasing in recent years. In the Western population, left side of colon is predominantly affected; but in Asians, the right side involvement is common. Here we are presenting a case of diverticulum of the ascending colon, which was solitary and presented with perforation.
Key words:-Right colon, Diverticulitis, Primary Anastomosis.

Abstract:-Nanotechnology is a natural end result of scientific development and our ability to understand and manipulate matter at smaller and smaller level. Current research is directed towards the production of wide array of different nano-scale structures. The fabrication techniques of the structures can be divided into 2 approaches: “top-down” and “bottom-up.” Till date all the articles have mentioned future treatment opportunities of nanotechnology in dentistry that includes local anesthesia, dentition re-naturalization, permanent hypersensitivity cure, complete orthodontic realignment during single office visit, covalently bonded diamondised enamel, and continuous oral health maintenance using mechanical dentifrobots, but none have mentioned nanoproducts that are available and used in dentistry at present. This review article tries to highlight the present scope of nanotechnology in dentistry.
Key words:-Nanodentistry; nanotechnology; nanorobots.

Abstract:- Cassia fistula Linn. Family Fabaceae. commonly known as Aragwadha. Fruit, leaf, dried pulp, bark are used in Ayurveda. Mainly used in constipation, purgative, rheumatism, skin dissorders. The flowers posses’ astringent, purgative, febrifugal and ant biliousness properties. A decoction of the flowers is given in stomach troubles. Till date no detailed scientific study has been done regarding flowers, for the first time flowers are subjected to evaluate its pharmacognostical study and its powder and its micrometric analysis. Pharmacognostical evaluation shows the presence of trichomes, pollen grains, papilous parenchyma, oil globules and prismatic crystal. The micrometric analysis shows pollen grain measures 136.84 µm2 and Prismatic crystal measures 15.48 µm2.
Key words:- Cassia fistula, flower, Pharmacognosy, micrometry.

Abstract:-
Phenotypic antibiotic resistance profiles of 172 human wound-borne bacterial strains of (Bacillus, Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Clostridium, Aeromonas, Enterobacter, E. coli, Klebsiella, Morganella, Proteus, Pseudomonas, Shigella and Yersinia) species, isolated from ≤ 75-year female and ≤ 85-year old male patients, including neonates and children, at two General hospitals and two tertiary health care institutions in Lagos and Oyo States of Nigeria were determined. High resistance and multiple antibiotic resistance (MAR)- Lagos: (Gram-positive = 62.3-100%; MAR = 25.0-100% / Gram-negative = 75.0-100%; MAR = 50.0-100%) and Ibadan: (Gram-positive = 57.9-97.4%; MAR = 40.0-100% / Gram-negative = 51.0-93.9%; MAR = 50.0-100%) against antibiotics (discs) were exhibited by the bacteria respectively. Gram-positive bacteria from Lagos were totally resistant to cloxacillin, while Gram-negative bacteria were totally resistant to cotrimoxazole but strains from Ibadan were mostly resistant to gentamicin / tetracycline (81.6%), erythromycin (89.5%), cloxacillin (97.4%) and augmentin (93.9%). Overall susceptibility rates to antibiotic drugs commonly used in self-medication for topical and systemic wound treatments in Nigeria were- penicillin, ampicillin (73.9%), erythrocin, tetracycline (78.3%) and erythromycin (82.6%). In conclusion, relatively high resistance and MAR to antibiotic discs but very high susceptibility to certain antibiotic drugs were exhibited by wound-borne bacteria, indicating that potent antibiotic drugs can serve as topical therapeutic agents in skin wound treatment.
Key Words- Antibiotics, septic wounds, topical skin treatments, wound cultures, wound care.
