Introduction: Freiberg's infringement is an osteochondrosis of the metatarsal bone heads, primarily of the second or third metatarsal. It is usually a chronic and progressive process that gradually causes pain and loss of normal function of the metatarsophalangeal joint. Objective: to detail the current information related to Freiberg's disease, etiology, epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical history, evaluation, differential diagnosis, treatment, prognosis, complications and postoperative period. Methodology: a total of 32 articles were analyzed in this review, including review and original articles, as well as clinical cases, of which 26 bibliographies were used because the other articles were not relevant for this study. The sources of information were PubMed, Google Scholar and Cochrane; the terms used to search for information in Spanish, Portuguese and English were: Freiberg infraction, Freiberg disease, metatarsalgia, osteochondrosis. Results: Freiberg's disease is the only osteochondrosis that is more frequent in women with a ratio of 5:1 in relation to men. Bilateral involvement is reported less than 10% of the time. The involvement primarily involves the second metatarsal in 68% of cases, the third metatarsal in 27% and the fourth metatarsal in 3% and the fifth is rarely affected. Conclusions: Freiberg disease is an osteochondrosis of the metatarsal bone heads, commonly found in second or third metatarsals and common in women and athletes. Osteochondroses are a group of disorders resulting from a lesion of the epiphysis that modifies endochondral ossification and generates irregularity in the articular surface. The pathophysiology of Freiberg's disease is multifactorial. Affected individuals present with pain and swelling located in the affected metatarsal head area of the forefoot. Diagnosis can be confirmed by physical examination and radiographs. Conservative treatment should first be attempted to relieve symptoms and decrease epiphyseal deformity to restrict progression to arthritis regardless of the severity of the disease. There are a number of surgical techniques described for the treatment of Freiberg's disease if conservative treatment fails. Key words: bone infraction, Freibergs disease, metatarsalgia, osteochondrosis, metatarsals.

Soft drinks are non-alcoholic water-based flavoured drinks that are optionally sweetened, acidulated and carbonated. Some carbonated soft drinks also contain caffeine; mainly the brown-coloured cola drinks. The contamination of soft drinks with pesticides presents a multifaceted issue with implications for public health, environmental sustainability, and regulatory oversight. This introduction will explore the sources of pesticide contamination in soft drinks, the potential health risks associated with pesticide residues, regulatory frameworks governing pesticide use, and strategies to mitigate the risks posed by pesticide contamination in soft drinks. Excessive consumption of carbonated soft drinks has been putatively linked to health effects including dental caries, obesity, and osteoporosis.

Buccal mucoadhesive systems among novel drug delivery systems have attracted great attention in recent years due to their ability to adhere and remain on the oral mucosa and to release their drug content gradually Buccal mucoadhesive films can improve the drug therapeutic effect by enhancement of drug absorption through oral mucosa increasing the drug bioavailability via reducing the hepatic first-pass effect. The aim of the current study was to formulate the drug as buccal bioadhesive film, which releases the drug at sufficient concentration with a sustained manner reducing the frequency of the dosage form administration. One of the advantages of this formulation is better patient compliances due to the ease of administration with no water to swallow the product. Dissolution profile as studied in USP dissolution apparatus type 1 using pH 6.8 simulated saliva. The influence of variables like polymer type, concentration, of Amitriptyline HCl release profile was studied. The formulation was optimized based on various evaluation parameters like drug content and in-vitro drug release. Formulation F6 successfully release of drug within 7 hrs. The IR spectra showed stable properties of Amitriptyline HCl in a mixture of polymers used and revealed the absence of interaction between drug and selected polymer, stability studies were as per ICH guidelines, and results indicated that the selected formulation was stable.

The hand in the humans is abundantly supplied by the blood by two anastomotic arches, there are superficial and deep palmar arch. The knowledge of variations in the arterial supply of hand has reached the practical importance. Superficial palmar arch is an arterial arcade and a dominant vascular structure in the palm. These two arcades are formed by the anastomosis between two main arteries of forearm ie. radial and ulnar artery and their branches. Superficial palmar arch is defined as the anastomosis between superficial branch of ulnar artery and superficial palmar branch of radial artery with the ulnar artery as the main feeding vessel. Superficial palmar branch shows variation in formation at the radial side. In this study we have recorded the variation which would help in clinical and surgical implications.

This study finds out the relationship between students’ academic self-efficacy and academic achievement in selected polytechnics in Nigeria. A descriptive survey method was used. The population for the study consisted of Chief lecturers and final year students of selected polytechnics in Nigeria. Out of a total population of 623 HND II Polytechnic students of the selected polytechnics in Nigeria, 271 were involved. Out of a total population of 168 chief lecturers, 109 of them were involved in the study. This brings the total number of participants to 380. Krejcie & Morgan sample size table cited in Ogbu, (2010) was used to determine the representativeness of the sample frame. Purposive sampling method was used in selecting the participants from the two population groups. The primary instrument was Likert Scale questionnaire. It is tagged Students’ Self-efficacy and Academic Achievement Questionnaire (SSEAAQ). The four null hypotheses were tested using chi square test at 5% level of significance and appropriate degree of freedom. Research results showed that there is a significant positive relationship between academic self-efficacy- and cognitive engagement of polytechnic students. And that there is a significant positive relationship between academic self-efficacy and academic achievement of polytechnic students in selected polytechnics in Nigeria. And also that there is a significant positive relationship between deep processing and academic achievement of polytechnic students in selected polytechnics in Nigeria. And lastly that there is significant positive relationship between persistence and academic achievement of polytechnic students in selected polytechnics in Nigeria. It was recommended among others that polytechnic lecturers should formulate programs and activities that will develop and maintain self-efficacy among students, develop activities that will also boost their cognitive engagement and interest in their studies. And that polytechnic lecturers should set high standard, aspirations and expectations for students by evolving programs aimed at encouraging and boosting student's confidence to enhance their academic achievement.

The purpose of this qualitative research is to explore and describe the experiences of elementary school teachers in dealing with plagiarism issues among elementary students in the DepEd schools, Division of Davao del Norte. 14 participants were selected through purposive sampling, of which seven engaged in in-depth interviews while another seven participated in focus group discussions. The results revealed the experiences of elementary teachers such as pervasive plagiarism acts, lack of engagement, challenges in reforming undesirable learning behaviors, and noticing self-doubts and poor performance. Moreover, the coping mechanisms of the participants were student encouragement and communication, crafting of rules against academic dishonesty, academic integrity strategies, reporting and seeking advice, and collaborative approaches. Then, their insights were establishing standards and communication, creating policies and countermeasures, cultivating positive student behavior, promoting academic integrity, and cultivating patience. With these findings, it can be gleaned that elementary schools must strengthen their policies and programs against the menace of plagiarism. Teachers must also be wary of this fact and never give the students opportunities to commit plagiarism in the classroom. More so, considering that the elementary level covers the formative years of the children, it is also important to address the problem by focusing on their moral and spiritual aspects.

This phenomenological study aimed to explore and understand the leadership practices of school heads assigned in last mile schools. This study was rooted on the theory of Bush (2015) that articulated the concept of instructional leadership, also the theory of Bandura (2006) that reflects the significance of self-efficacy, and the theory of Groon (2002) that highlights the importance of distributive leadership. In collecting rich and diverse information, this study utilized purposive sampling technique that enable the ten (10) school heads assigned in last mile schools in Talaingod District, Division of Davao del Norte to share their lived experiences, coping mechanisms, and insights in leading and managing their respective schools. The identified school heads participated in-depth face to face interview upholding the safety health and protocols mandated by the IATF. Applying the thematic analysis, core ideas and major themes were extracted from the verbatim responses. As to the lived experiences of the school heads in last mile schools, five (5) themes were derived: establish community partnership, insufficiency of resources, cultivating leadership strategies, leadership opportunities, challenges to accessibility and safety going to the station . Meanwhile, on the coping mechanisms and strategies of the school heads in last mile schools, five (5) themes were generated: establish good communication among stakeholders, collaborated with stakeholders, giving rewards and recognition, managing the school effectively, and having safety procedures going to the station. Moreover, the school heads shared their insights and realizations which gave light to seven (7) themes such as: relevance of possessing positive attributes of a good school head, providing evidence of leadership, necessity of assistance from colleagues, importance of effective mechanism in leading schools, prioritizing access on resources, extending help and service to the community, and concentrating on student literacy. The results are deemed valuable and significant to the school heads, teachers, DepEd officials, and other researchers. The lived experiences and stories of the school heads were the primary the source of the derived transcriptions and emerged themes. Based on the results of the study, the school heads showed their commitment and dedication in performing their duties and responsibilities as leaders in last mile schools. They shared their unwavering sacrifice and love for the disadvantaged learners to have access to quality education. With the continuous assistance of the Department of Education, the government, the LGUs, NGOs, and other internal and external stakeholders, it is my great hope that the experiences of the participants will be heard and addressed.
