Cleft of lip and palate are most common serial congenital anomalies to affect the orofacial region . It can occur isolated or together in various combination and/or along with other congenital deformities particularly congenital heart diseases. .Patient with oro-facial cleft deformity needs to be treated at right time and at right age to achieve functional and esthetic well being. Successful management of the child born with a cleft lip and palate requires coordinated care provided by a number of different specialties including oral/maxillofacial surgery, otolaryngology, genetics/dysmorphology, speech/language pathology, orthodontics, prosthodontics, and other. This article aims to the review the point primary care physicians in literature knowledge about cleft lip and palate. A review of literature have made to discuss introduction, epidemiology, clinical feature, etiology factor and management of cleft lip and palate.
It is important that every member of the community be trained in effective BLS technique to save lives. At least doctors including medical, dental and paramedical staff should be trained in CPR, as it is a basic medical skill which can save many lives if implemented timely.
Aim: To assess the awareness of Basic Life Support (BLS) among dental interns and dental practitioners in Mangalore, Karnataka, India.
Material and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted during November-December 2014 among dental interns and dental practitioners. This study was conducted by assessing response to twenty selected multiple choice questions pertaining to BLS among dental interns and dental practitioners. The results are present in the form of frequency and percentages.
Statistical Analysis:The data was collected and analyzed using software Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 12.0.
Result: In this study one hundred and twenty five responders were included them, 70(56%) were interns (Bachelor in dental surgery) and remaining 55(44%) were dental practitioners. Surprisingly none out of one hundred and twenty five had the complete knowledge of BLS. Looking closely at the individual groups dental practitioners scored 61.5%, as being aware with the BLS knowledge and skills but needs to be updated with change in protocols done by American Heart Association after every time period and sadly dental interns score 41.2% which shows that BLS course should be considered for inclusion in the Bachelor in dental surgery curriculum
Conclusions: This study suggests that dental interns and dental practitioners may not be adequately prepared in the management of medical emergencies and should improve the knowledge and skills regarding BLS.
In mobile ad hoc networks, the movement of the mobile nodes is one of the important characteristics because it can affect the performance of the routing protocol. The mobility pattern directly influences when communication links between nodes are established or broken, which is associated with the network topology. In this paper, the impact of the different mobility models on the performance of different routing approaches has been studied. AODV, DSR, LAR, and OLSR are taken as the candidate protocols for this purpose. The performance of these protocols is evaluated and analyzed for different mobility models like RWP, RPGM, GM and MH through simulation. The performance metrics like packet delivery ratio, average end-to-end delay, normalized routing load, and throughput are evaluated for these protocols using network simulator NS2 under different scenarios.
