The influence of job stress and job satisfaction towards job performance of secondary cluster school teachers in Kuantan

Job performance among teachers have been a topic of interest among many researchers. In this work, the relationships between job stress and job satisfaction towards the job performance of secondary cluster school teachers in Kuantan, Pahang were investigated. The main objectives of this study are to examine the level of performance among the cluster school teachers and to determine the relationships between job stress, job satisfaction and job performance. In assessing the links between those variables, 300 questionnaires were distributed to four cluster schools in Kuantan, Pahang and among them, 226 questionnaires were collected and used in this study. The findings of this study revealed that there are significant relationships between job stress and job satisfaction towards the job performance of the cluster school teachers in Kuantan, Pahang

RESEARCH AND REVIEWS: JOURNAL OF MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES Unilateral Absence of Musculocutaneous Nerve and a Communication between Medial and Lateral Cord of Brachial Plexus: A Case Report. Case Report

ABSTRACT Variation of musculocutanous nerve at the level of brachial plexus is common. The musculocutaneous nerve is a branch from lateral cord of brachial plexus. It supplies flexor muscles of the elbow and skin on the lateral aspect of forearm. During routine dissection of the upper limb of a seventy year old adult male cadaver, a communication between medial and lateral cord of brachial plexus in the left axilla was noted. On the same side in the arm, musculocutaneous nerve was absent. The muscles supplied by musculocutaneous nerve were innervated by branches of median nerve and a muscular branch to the brachialis muscle continued as lateral cutaneous nerve of forearm. There was no variation in the musculocutaneous nerve on the right side but there were two communicating branches between musculocutaneous and median nerve. Knowledge of such variation has clinical significance in median nerve injury and also helpful in diagnostic clinical neurophysiology, surgical procedures and management of shoulder and arm trauma. Though such variations are common, it is of clinical significance for radiologists, anaesthetists and surgeons besides of being academic interest for the anatomists

The Gene Ontology knowledgebase in 2023

The Gene Ontology (GO) knowledgebase (http://geneontology.org) is a comprehensive resource concerning the functions of genes and gene products (proteins and noncoding RNAs). GO annotations cover genes from organisms across the tree of life as well as viruses, though most gene function knowledge currently derives from experiments carried out in a relatively small number of model organisms. Here, we provide an updated overview of the GO knowledgebase, as well as the efforts of the broad, international consortium of scientists that develops, maintains, and updates the GO knowledgebase. The GO knowledgebase consists of three components: (1) the GO-a computational knowledge structure describing the functional characteristics of genes; (2) GO annotations-evidence-supported statements asserting that a specific gene product has a particular functional characteristic; and (3) GO Causal Activity Models (GO-CAMs)-mechanistic models of molecular "pathways" (GO biological processes) created by linking multiple GO annotations using defined relations. Each of these components is continually expanded, revised, and updated in response to newly published discoveries and receives extensive QA checks, reviews, and user feedback. For each of these components, we provide a description of the current contents, recent developments to keep the knowledgebase up to date with new discoveries, and guidance on how users can best make use of the data that we provide. We conclude with future directions for the project

A Morphometric and Morphological Study of mandibular lingula and its Clinical Significance

Aim: Mandibular lingula is a bony projection located on the medial aspect of its ramus. It is very closely related to the mandibular foramen and inferior alveolar nerve and vessels. The aim of the present study is to observe the different shapes, position and height of the lingula in relation to the mandible. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted on 50 adult dry human mandibles (100 sides) in the Department of Anatomy, Sri Ramachandra Medical College & Research Institute, Chennai. The different shapes of lingula were observed and position and height of lingula in relation to mandible were measured using vernier callipers. Results: The most frequent shape of the lingula observed in our study was triangular (49%) followed by nodular (23%), truncated (18%) and assimilated (10%) types. The lingula was located at a mean distance of 17.11 ± 2.32 mm and 14.86 ± 2.54 from the anterior and posterior border of ramus of mandible. The mean distance from the lingula to mandibular notch was 18.71 ± 3.18 mm and to the mandibular notch was 30.30 ± 5.11 mm. The mean height of the lingula was 7.45 ± 1.48 mm. Conclusion: The lingula is a very important landmark where mandibular foramen has to be identified in procedures such as inferior alveolar nerve block , bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy and intraoral vertical split ramus osteotomy and for excision of nerve in facial neuralgia
