This can cause a cascade of changes that damage multiple organ systems, leading them to fail, sometimes even resulting in death.Crucial steps for a successful treatment and positive outcomes, are an early diagnosis and differentiation from non-infectious causes. PCT is biomarker that has diagnostic, therapeutic and prognostic significance. The study was undertaken to identify whether serum pro-calcitonin can act as a superior marker in septicemia. Material Method-This is prospective case control-pilot study.Total 60 subjects were included, Case group comprised of 30 IPD patients of sepsis, whereas 30 heathy individuals were included in control group. Levels of PCT, CRP levels and neutrophil count were analyzed in both the groups .PCT levels were analyzed by electrochemiluminescence method using commercially available kit & CRP levels by Nephelometry method respectively. Neutrophil counts were done on Sysmex five-part cell counter. Result- The levels of Neutrophils (%), PCT (ng/ml) and CRP (mg/L) were significantly high is study group with mean of 79.94 ± 16.9, 7.27 ± 18.6 and 64.2±49.9 respectively in study group with p value <0.001.CRP and PCT are similarly significant markers with co-relation coefficient of 0.518. Conclusion-Procalcitonin can be used as an inflammatory marker for sepsis with added significance of diagnostic as well as a prognostic marker.","PeriodicalId":13781,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Advanced Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140408902","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Awareness of lifelong learning also strengthens the possibility of increasing personal income and at the same time enabling a better quality of life. All of this leads to an improvement not only on an individual level, but also for society as a whole. Although lack of equitable educational opportunities to individuals may result into social inequalities, which require targeted measures to deal with these issues. The main objective of this research is to explain the relationship between lifelong learning and social inclusion. By assessing educational access and opportunities, the study aims to examine the impacts of lifelong learning on individual empowerment processes, and thereby address social inequalities in educational opportunities. This research adopts a comprehensive study design, in which a detailed literature review analysis with case studies will be considered. Several academic books, peer-reviewed journals, and other formal publications will be used for literature review, while official reports may be used to derive case studies. The thematic coding and content analysis will be used to analyse key trends, insights, and challenges identified through gathered qualitative data. As a whole, lifelong learning can become a tool to promote social inclusion by offering equitable educational opportunities to all population groups. Barriers to educational opportunities, such as ineffective division of lifelong learning and traditional education, financial constraints, geographical barriers, and more focus on certain category of workers, must be addressed.","PeriodicalId":13781,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Advanced Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140410025","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Conventional treatment involves a combination of mechanical therapy and systemic antibiotics administration, which comes with its own set of challenges and disadvantages. An alternative treatment modality is low-level laser therapy with and without photosensitizers. Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of low-level laser therapy with and without the use of photosensitizers, specifically Methylene blue and Toluidine blue, on the viability of Prevotella intermedia. Methods: The study utilized in vitro experiments to assess the impact of low-level laser therapy alone and in combination with photosensitizers on the viability of Prevotella intermedia. Results: The findings indicate that Methylene blue, when combined with low-level laser therapy, exhibits bactericidal effects similar to or greater than low-level laser therapy alone on Prevotella intermedia. Additionally, the use of Toluidine blue as a photosensitizer in combination with low-level laser therapy also led to a reduction in the viability of Prevotella intermedia, although it was not as effective as Methylene blue. Conclusion: Low-level laser therapy, particularly when combined with Methylene blue as a photosensitizer, shows promise as a potential treatment modality for controlling Prevotella intermedia in periodontal diseases.","PeriodicalId":13781,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Advanced Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140409129","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To do this, he relies on the poetic of novel and sociology of reading in order to examine the aesthetic of creation in the novelist and to establish the appropriate conditions for reception of this works. The analysis of the romantic plots shows a tight focus around a nightmarish universe dominates by decay and voluptuousness, without totems or taboos, where the characters are neither angels nor beasts, but simply ready to corrupts themselves in order to be happy. It highlights the power of the authors view of the world, that is to say his assumed subjectivity, which he honed from his childhood in his fathers forge, then in middle age at during his incessant travels to the four corners of the world. Thus, the model reader of Sami Tchak must above all allow himself to never shy away from taboos of any kind. He must be ready to wander the cities, to meet myriads of endearing and, very often, eccentric characters wandering sometimes in the upscale neighborhoods, sometimes in the disreputable slums of the suburbs of the world. Because, ultimately, Sami Tchaks texts are strongly colored by didacticism, freedom of thought and spirit.
