This qualitative research method uses literature and historical interpretation. This paper discusses the history of Tafsir bi al-Ma'tsur, its restrictions, and scholarly disagreements over it. This study finds that Tafsir bi al-Ma'tsur is an interpretation based on Qur'anic verses, the Prophet Muhammad's viewpoints, companions, and scholars, commencing with the interpretation of Qur'anic verses with Qur'anic verses. 'an, the Qur'an's hadith, the Companions' atsar, and the Tabi'in's view. The Qur'an must be interpreted using a manner agreed upon by scholars to be in compliance with Shari'a. If the interpretation is done honestly and according to the manner approved by the commentators, it will obtain two rewards from Allah SWT if it's accurate, but only one if it's wrong, according to the Prophet SAW's statements on Ijtihad. This research should aid Qur'an scholars and interpreters. This research explains Tafsir bi al-Ma'tsur-related issues. This research offers a complete review of all western scientists' perspectives of Qur'anic exegesis literature to update our knowledge of Tafsir bi al-Ma'tsur.

Platelets can play a crucial role in periodontal regeneration as they are the reservoirs of growth factors and cytokines which are the key factors for regeneration of bone and maturation of soft tissue. PRF is a natural fibrin-based biomaterial prepared from an anticoagulant-free blood harvest without any artificial biochemical modification that allows obtaining fibrin membranes enriched with platelets and growth factors. The main aim of this review article is to briefly describe the novel platelet concentrate PRF and its potential role in advanced surgical dentistry.

We obtained our targeted sample of 364 was obtained from 12 police stations using convenience sampling. Data was analyzed through SPSS version 20. RESULT: The estimated occurrence of heel pain came out to be 10.6%. Among them the prevalence of plantar fasciitis was 13.2%. Age, obesity, foot wear, foot deformity, standing duty hours and the type of job were among the risk factors. CONCLUSION: The condition was found to have low prevalence. Age group 20-40, hard shoe wear, field-work and prolonged standing (more than eight hours) were found to have strong association with the condition.

The Indian Fast food industry is facing extreme competition from global organised food retailers like McDonald's, KFC, Dominos Pizza and Pizza Hut as they are adapting as per local needs and changing consumer preferences and posing a constant challenge before their Indian counterparts. The Indian food retailers are bringing about an improvement in their food and service quality to remain in the competition. The study tries to find which of the three quality dimensions, Physical Evidence, Service Delivery and Core Service Product is preferred more by the customers and attract more customers towards an Indian food retail outlet. The research tool was used multiple regression analysis. The research was conducted with 500 consumers in KAVAL regions of U.P., India. The results reveal that Core Product has the greatest positive influence on 'preference' for Indian Fast Food Retail Outlets, followed by the positive influence of Physical evidence.

Running has been proposed as alternative method to diagnose exercise induced asthma (EIA). To evaluate the utility of a portable cardiopulmonary exercise testing system during running challenges (indoor vs outdoor) in 2 different environments to evaluate EIA. METHODS: 26 patients with dyspnea on exertion and negative MCCT randomly performed both indoor & outdoor run challenge while wearing a Jaeger Oxycon™ Mobile CPX system. Baseline pulmonary function testing (PFTs) followed by exercise challenge testing using ATS guidelines was used. Serial PFTs were measured 5, 10, 15, 20 mins. A B2 agonist was then administered followed by one final spirometry PFT at 10 minutes post bronchodilator. Run testing in 2 environments was standardized by measuring CPX varibles. Environmental conditions measured included humidity, temperature, particulate matter, pollen counts, carbon dioxide levels, microbiological and fungal spores. Percent Change FEV1 Post Run Challenge. No statistically significant differences in any cardiopulmonary variables measured (VO2, VCO2, RR, HR, RER, VE, VE/VO2 & VE/VCO2) at any time point verifying that the exercise testing was of equal intensity both for indoor & outdoor testing conditions. There was no signifcant difference in FEV1 post exericse indoor vs outdoor run testing. Stepwise linear regression did not show signifcant environmental effect. MCCT testing for our patient population proved robust in that further exercise testing with respect to both test location and environmental factors did not result in any significant changes in measured performance.
