The revolution brought about by quantum physics and astrophysics a hundred years ago produced a completely new vision of the universe, transforming the certainties postulated by classical physics into a probabilistic conception of natural phenomena. In searching for a unifying conception of matter and the universe, quantum mechanics has developed an impressive mass of knowledge and has deepened the investigation up to the most hidden levels of elementary particles and the most remote space, thanks to the most advanced technologies and with the help of artificial satellites. However, many aspects of cosmic immensity and life remain unexplored on earth and many questions remain unanswered. Starting from these uncertainties and doubts that feed other research, in this article I’m going to conduct a critical examination of the conception of matter and the origin of the universe as we describe quantum theory. Emphasizing above all the presumed role of protagonism and infallibility that this discipline claims to absolve with respect to all the others.","PeriodicalId":448325,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Scholarly Research in Multidisciplinary Studies","volume":" 35","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139137268","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}

Land snails were investigated in Yankari using a combination of direct search and litter sieving techniques. 10 plots were sampled randomly within an area of 100m × 100m so as to have a good spread of each site. Soil sample were collected within each of the plots and analyzed for soil pH, total nitrogen, organic carbon, calcium and moisture content. A total of 103 specimens comprising of six species belonging to four molluscan families were collected from ten plots in Yankari Game Reserve. This showed that the molluscs were moderately diverse. The family, Achatinidae dominated the fauna in Yankari Game Reserve. This study has revealed that the land fauna in Yankari are moderately diverse with low densities. The result indicates that not all the sampling areas of the reserves had much species; it is therefore presumed that there may be richer areas of land snails which were not sampled in both sites.","PeriodicalId":448325,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Scholarly Research in Multidisciplinary Studies","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127720511","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}

It can manifest in axial and extra -axial skeleton and tissues. The wide range of clinical manifestations from skeletal changes to soft tissues swellings and skin discoloration makes it a disease of note in the clinical settings. Some of its complications include malignant transformation, gastrointestinal reflux to cardiac involvement with arrhythmias and even sudden death. Until recently with advent of modern imaging modalities, it was a disease of diagnostic debacle as it was often misdiagnosed .This is a case report of a 17 year old male who was misdiagnosed as sinunasal mucocele until histology proved it to be fibrous dysplasia. Objective: The objective of the report is to draw attention to the diagnostic challenge posed at CT imaging. Methods: This case report was carried out at University College Hospital Ibadan. Results: Showed right sided facial swelling measuring about 15x10cm. The mass was firm to hard in consistency, non-tender and not attached to the overlying skin. There was no loss of sensation in the skin over it. The right eye was displaced superiorly and laterally. A nasal aspect of the mass was seen to occupy the whole of the ipsilateral nasal cavity which it occluded deviating the nasal septum to the left and narrowing the left nasal cavity. It was fleshy and showed contact bleeding. The attending ENT Surgeons made a working diagnosis of right sinunasal tumour with possible malignant transformation. The radiographs of the sinuses showed expansile sclerotic lesion involving the nasal bones, the right maxillary bone, right ethmoidal and maxillary sinuses. The inferior aspect of the right frontal sinus was also affected. A cranial computed tomography (CT) scan (Fig 2-4) showed a multi-loculated hypodense mass with mildly enhancing septations (HU16) within the right frontal, ethmoidal, sphenoidal and maxillary sinuses. There was associated expansion of the affected sinuses with thinning of their cortices. No evidence of aggressive bony destruction was seen. The radiologists made a diagnosis of benign sinunasal tumour most likely mucocele. After right maxillectomy, histology proved the lesion to be fibrous dysplasia. This report goes further to support the need for application of more imaging modalities especially the modern and higher slices CT scanner, higher Tesla(2T )MRI , PET and fusion CT/PET scanners in arriving at radiological diagnosis that will be more compatible with the pathological condition of the patients as against what was in place at the time of this case report .Radiologists are also encouraged to have a high index of suspicion for the disease and to explore the possibilities of the differentials in order not to miss the diagnosis of FD","PeriodicalId":448325,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Scholarly Research in Multidisciplinary Studies","volume":"43 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132640066","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}

It can cause serious harm to the person, like adverse drug reactions, toxicity, drug resistance, incomplete cure, drug dependence, etc. Self-medication is associated with incorrect self-diagnosis and inadequate treatment, which can result in disease progression and complications. The primary purpose of this study was to assess the knowledge, attitude, and pattern of self-medication practice among undergraduate medical and pharmacy students. Methodology: A questionnaire-based cross-sectional study was conducted in the College of Medicine and College of Pharmacy. The pre-tested, structured questionnaire was used. All medical and pharmacy students were invited to participate in the study by filling in an online study questionnaire. The study questionnaire consists of three parts. The first part includes personal and health status. The second part is related to the past year’s most frequent conditions participants had self-medication. Participants were also asked about their self-medication knowledge and perception. An electronic survey link was sent out via email. Statistical analysis was performed in SPSS 25 software. Results: Self-Medication is more prevalent among medical students (70.59 %) than among pharmacy students (62.3%). The most important condition was a cough, 83% among medical students and 67% of pharmacy students, and a sore throat, 47.1% of medical students and 44.2% of pharmacy students. The most frequent medication used among medical and pharmacy students was analgesic (paracetamol and NSAIDS). Antibiotics (41% medical and 33% pharmacy students) and Vitamin supplements were next utilized. Pharmacy students used more supplements than medical Students (33.8 percent pharmacy versus 13% medical) Conclusion: Self-medication has been found to be very common among medical and pharmacy students in Oman.

The common features of all the depressive disorders are sadness, emptiness, or irritable mood, accompanied by somatic and cognitive changes that significantly affect the individual’s capacity to function. Depression is commonly treated in primary care, and SSRI drugs are frequently used as the first line of treatment. Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) have the advantage of the ease of dosing and low toxicity in overdose. They are also the first-line medications for late-onset depression. Selective Serotonin and Norepinephrine Reuptake Inhibitors (SNRIs), which include venlafaxine, desvenlafaxine, duloxetine, and levomilnacipran can be used as first-line agents, particularly in patients with significant fatigue or pain syndromes associated with the episode of depression. SNRIs also have an important role as second-line agents in patients who have not responded to SSRIs.
