Pleomorphic adenoma of palate: A case report
Pleomorphic Adenoma (PA) also called as benign mixed tumour is the most common tumour of salivary glands. Intraoral presentation of tumour is comparatively rare with more chances of malignancy. Wide surgical excision with adequate margins is the most preferred mode of management. Histopathological analysis is essential for confirmatory diagnosis. A 62 year old female patient reported with chief complaint of a growth on right side of the throat since 6 years. Growth has gradually increased in size, painless but has difficulty in swallowing because of the same. Examination revealed a growth in relation to junction of hard and soft palate mostly on right side which is firm in consistency and non tender. Growth was excised with primary closure under General anesthesia. Histopathology confirmed the case to be pleomorphic adenoma.Pleomorphic adenoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of palatal swellings. As the lesion has a tendency for malignancy, careful evaluation of history, examination, histology and follow up is advised.

Productivity of some barley cultivars as affected by inoculation under water stress conditions
Water scarcity and drought are the main constraints of crop production. Many technologies have been developed to cope with this environmental problem. So improve crop production under limited amount of available water is a measure issue to maximize the return by unit of water (water productivity). To achieve the aforementioned objectives, two field experiments were carried out in the Experimental Farm of National Research Centre Shalkan Kalubia during the winter seasons of 2006/ 2007 and 2007/2008 to study the effect of seed inoculation with (phosphorine and cerealine) on the yield and yield components of some barley cultivars (Giza 126, Giza 130 and Giza 2000) subjected to water stress at different stages of growth (at tillering or milk- ripe stage), Data indicate that, water stress at any stage of growth (tillering or milk- ripe stage) depress most of the studied yield and yield attributes .Such effect was pronounced when barley plants were subjected to water deficit at milk- ripe stage. Dual application of biofertilizer (phosphorine and cerealine) improved yield and yield attributes of barley plants as compared with un-inoculated plants. The data also show that biofertilizers inoculation alleviate the adverse effect of water stress on barley yield. The results indicated that Giza 126 produced the highest grain yield and seed index

Proximate composition and antioxidant analysis of some good mode foods and their sensory analysis
Three different good mood food cereals or breakfast cereals viz; Cornflakes, Dalia and Oats were analyzed for different physic-chemical properties. The ash and protein content of three different breakfast cereals does not vary significantly with each other while moisture content showed significant difference. The protein content of Dalia and Oats does not vary with each other, however both varied significantly with Cornflakes. The crude fiber of Cornflakes and Oats differs significantly with each other Based on organoleptic evaluation by semi-trained panelists; the appearance of all the three breakfast cereals does not vary significantly with each other. Overall acceptability of all the three breakfast cereals does not vary with each other.

Purification of wastewaters by a combined system planted of emerged macrophytes
This work is focused on the purification of soap factory wastewaters by a combined system planted of emerged macrophytes. The exploitation of this combined system planted reveals substantial results after twenty weeks of the purification of wastewater. Neutralization of the pH of filtered water and its cooling. Almost all suspended matter is removed (95%) from the filtered waters. Significant reductions in ammonium (75%) and nitrite (69%) contents are observed. Using this combined system planted, high removal rates of orthophosphates (56%) and anionic surfactants (81%) are obtained. The removal rate of organic matter is about 76% in BOD5 and 42% in COD.

Salivary duct carcinoma with rhabdoid features: a rare tumor in unusual location? A case report.
Ductal carcinoma is a rare tumor, which accounts for 1 to 3% of all malignant salivary gland tumors primarily affecting middle-aged men with a high potential for metastasis. In salivary gland neoplasms, rhabdoid cells are not commonly seen. We report the case of a 58-year-old man, who presented a mass of the left cheek evolving for 3 months, who underwent an exofacial parotidectomy, the extemporaneous histopathological analysis of the specimen revealed a ductal carcinoma with rhabdoid features. We completed by a total conservative parotidectomy of the facial nerve. Salivary duct carcinoma with rhabdoid features should be distinguished from malignant lymphoma, malignant melanoma, and myogenic sarcomas. Transformation to ductal carcinoma with rhabdoid features has occurred in metastatic lesions. Treatment was based on extensive carcinological resection with postoperative radiotherapy with regular follow-up.
