Antenatal care (ANC) is the care of a woman throughout her pregnancy. Almost 90% of maternal deaths occur in developing countries and over half a million women die each year due to pregnancy and childbirth related causes. Many women in developing countries do not receive such care. The reasons for high MMR in India are inadequate access and underutilization of health services. Other common reasons are high illiteracy among females, early marriages, ignorance, malnutrition, social factors etc. So utilization of these services by the beneficiaries remain unsatisfactory.

Obturation is the most important step in the triad of endodontics. Carefully and properly achieved obturation will lead to the formation of “fluid tight seal” which is essential for the success of the endodontic treatment. Over the past decade, the science & practice of root canal therapy has changed dramatically on evidence based protocols to develop highly advanced obturation materials and techniques. Gutta percha with sealer is the most versatile obturating material. But it has very big disadvantage that it does not bond to the root canal dentin.

Introduction: The use of hrct has an established role in the detection and in the differential diagnosis of interstitial lung diseases (ilds). In selected cases, a specific hrct pattern suffices for the presumptive diagnosis, even in the absence of histological confirmation. The major abnormality in ilds is disruption of the lung parenchyma. Objectives: To Determine Frequencies Of Different Radiological Patterns Of Interstitial Lung Diseases On Hrct. Study design: Cross-Sectional Survey. Setting: Department Of Diagnostic Radiology, King Edward Medical University/Mayo Hospital, Lahore.

Water level indicator is widely used in many industries and houses. People generally worry about the wastage of water, when the switch ON the motor and forget to OFF them. An Water Level Indicator may be defined as a system by which we can get the information of any water reservoir .Water level indicator system are quite useful to reduce the wastage of water from any reservoir, while filling such reservoir. But for domestic purpose we cannot go for the instruments which use radar or ultrasonic principle that costs high.

Introduction: The mucocele is one of the most common benign soft tissue masses that occur in the oral cavity. Mucoceles (mucus and coele - cavity), by definition, are cavities filled with mucus. Two types of mucoceles can appear – extravasation type and retention type. Diagnosis is mostly based on clinical findings. The common location of the extravasation mucocele is the lower lip and the treatment of choice is surgical removal. This paper gives an insight into the phenomenon and a case report has been presented.
