The most promising treatment choice now available in dentistryin order to replace a missing tooth is dental implant.Survival of an implant to a greater extend depends on the local, systemic conditions and also on certain habitual influences of the patient. Hence,for an implant treatment to be successful, it is very crucial to choose patients who do not possess any local or systemic contraindications to this therapy. Treatment planning for dental implants involve the assessment of patient-related risk factors, prior to the formulation of a treatment plan. The clinician must have thorough knowledge and understanding on the risk factors involved in the process, in order to advise patients who are consideringimplants as their treatmentoptions.This paper presents a summaryfrom all the obtainable resources of the literatures demonstrating the fact on factors influencing the survival of dental implants, which might help in better understanding of thefactors necessary for the success of dental implants.

The concept of making an impression has undergone a paradigm shift as a result of the development of highly accurate and novel impression systems based on new technologies.1 Digital intraoral imaging represents a cutting-edge technique that allows the dentist to create a virtual computer-generated replica of the hard and soft tissues. Digital impression-making techniques are highly accurate, and they will undoubtedly lessen the need for traditional techniques in the near future. The information is stored in specialized software to be utilized in the manufacture of appliances, positive replicas, or other restorations. Additionally, this makes it possible to access data at any moment for further research and follow-ups. The future of digital dentistry is bright, but there is still work to be done to make sure that the technology delivers significant benefits to practitioners and patients in terms of therapeutic outcomes, regardless of how beautiful the process itself maybe. At the same time, it must be kept affordable and investments should yield a solid return.1

Education has been afundamental part of society since ancient times. The modes of education, learning, and subject knowledge have been presented in a variety of ways over time. At present, formal education, or school education, is the most important for students. In front of this school or formal education, another education system has emerged, which is commonly referred to as private tuition, and scholars refer to it as Shadow Education. The recent study is mainly based on three objectives 1. The five highest and lowest states for children taking private tuition based on percentages In India. 2. Percentage of children enrolled in private tuition with respect to their grade, gender, school type, and parents education in India. 3. The percentage of children enrolled in private tuition by their school type in the State of West Bengal. Documentary analysis is mainly used as a research method, and secondary data is inculcated in this study. The findings of the study are that enrolment rates in the five highest and lowest states with private tuition are increasing over the previous year. The percentage of children taking tuition has improved from the previous years, with respect to grade, gender, school type, and parents education and hike around 40% in India. In the state of West Bengal, there is an increase in private tuition enrolment among private school students compared to government school students. According to ASER 2021, West Bengal is the highest private tuition-taking state in India at the school level.

The task of predicting the outcomes of football matches is rendered increasingly complex by the intricate nature of the game and the variety of variables that could affect how things turn out. In the recent past, machine learning algorithms have been applied to this challenge, with varying degrees of success. In this particular research paper, we have meticulously evaluated the performance of several classification algorithms with the objective of predicting the outcomes of football matches in a tournament setting. The algorithms that were thoroughly tested encompassed a diverse range of classification models, including logistic regression, support vector machines and random forests. The study employed a dataset of historical match data drawn from the FIFA World Cup, historical team ranking data and team strength data from FIFA games. In order to accurately assess the efficacy of the algorithms tested, the evaluation metrics used were accuracy, precision and recall. The results of the study highlight the fact that machine learning algorithms can indeed prove to be effective tools for predicting the outcomes of football matches.

Introduction:Sarcoidosis is a non-necrotizing systemic granulomatosis of unknown cause characterized by a predominant pulmonary tropism. It is a disease of very variable manifestation and evolution. Its evolutionary course is difficult to predict: from spontaneous resolution in the absence of treatment to progressive organ destruction despite several lines of therapy. Objectives: The aim of our study is to describe the evolutionary profile of mediastinopulmonary sarcoidosis followed in the pneumology department of CHU Hassan II Fez. Material and methods:This is a retrospective study, covering the cases of mediastinopulmonary sarcoidosis followed in our department between January 2016 and December 2019 we required a follow-up period of at least 3 years to be able to retain the cure. Results:We collected 41 patients, the average age was 45.68 years (28-65), with a clear female predominance, 95 ,1% of women, type I was found in 12.2% of cases, type II in 73.2% of cases, type III in 7.3% of cases, and type IV in 7.3% of cases also. Histological confirmation was obtained by mediastinoscopy in 41.5% of cases, and by staged bronchial biopsies in 46.4% of cases. We opted for a therapeutic abstention in 46.3% of the cases (19 patients), 3 of them required treatment during their follow-ups. 22 patients required treatment with oral corticosteroids from the start, 4 relapses were noted after stopping corticosteroids, 4 patients required a second line of azathioprine, and 15 patients were cured after at least 3 years of no treatment.

Published: April 2023

Background: COVID 19 has led to dramatic changes in the lives of people leading to an increase in stress and anxiety. Music intervention is a non-medicated method for relieving anxiety. This current study aims to understand whether music can be effectively used to alleviate anxiety in admitted COVID-19 patients. Objective: To study the effect of music on anxiety in patients admitted for COVID-19 in a tertiary care hospital in New Delhi Method: 34 patients (17 females &17 males) were randomly divided into two groups, a control (N=17) and a music group (N=17). Vitals of all the patients were noted. Patients of the music group were asked to listen to relaxing instrumental for 30 minutes, while patients of the control group were asked to relax for 30 minutes. Vitals of all the patients were noted again. Patients were asked to fill State Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) before and after intervention. Results: The post-intervention mean scores of STAI after the music session were lower in the music group than the control group [95.06 (SD 8.5)) versus 102.37 (SD 10.3)]. The differences in mean values of pre- to post-intervention changes between both groups after music session were statistically significant. Conclusions: Our findings suggest that listening to music lowers anxiety. As music is non- invasive and free of side-effects we recommend that music intervention service should be used to improve health care quality.

This research work is undertaken with the aim of contributing to the development of local building materials in certain provinces of Chad (Abeche, NDjamena and Sarh). Physico-chemical and mechanical characterizations are carried out on samples from these Provinces. It emerges from the geotechnical study that the soils of Abeche and NDjamena are silty-clayey and the respective plasticity indices (PI) of 32% for Abeche and 19.86% for NDjamena as for the soil of Sarh, it corresponds to a loamy soil with a plasticity index of 22.42%. The physico-chemical study made it possible to determine significant quantities of silica respectively 68.56% for Abeche, 65.26% for NDjamena and 76.83% for Sarh. In addition, this analysis also made it possible to determine the organic matter present in the samples of 0.667% for the soil of Abeche, 0.862% for the soil of Ndjamena and 0.412% for that of Sarhrespectively. pH measurements using a pH meter made it possible to find the values â€‹â€‹for the three soils (6.93 6.56 and 6.65) for Abeche, Ndjamena and Sarh respectively.The mechanical characterization of clay reinforced by cow dung in the various sites studied gave the tensile strengths (1.30 MPa) for the soil of Abeche, (1.14 MPa) for the soil of NDjamena and (1.12MPa) for the soil of Sarh respectively, and in compression, the soil of Abeche gave (2.51MPa), that of NDjamena gave (2.37MPa) and the soil of Sarh gave (2.30MPa).It appears from the studies carried out that the soils of the different Provinces are suitable for their valorization in construction.
FLUORESCENCE MICROSCOPY VS TRUENAT- WHICH METHOD IS BETTER FOR DIAGNOSIS OF TUBERCULOSIS?
Authors: Pranay J. , Charadhar P.
Published: April 2023

Background: Despite the advent of newer drugs, modern diagnostic techniques and improvement in management strategies, India continues to be the leader in tuberculosis burden. Several methods for diagnosis exist, such as light microscopy, fluorescent microscopy, solid culture, liquid culture (Mycobacterium growth indicator tube [MGIT] culture) to molecular methods. However, each of these methods have variable sensitivity and specificity. Very few studies have been done evaluating the role of TrueNAT with fluorescent microscopy, thereby evaluating the performance of a designated microscopy center under the national tuberculosis elimination programme. Methods and Materials: This is a retrospective observational study performed in a designated microscopy center in Santhiram Medical Center, Nandyal. This is to compare the fluorescence microscopy and TrueNAT provided as part of the National Tuberculosis Elimination programme. A total of 342 patients underwent testing at this center and were diagnosed with tuberculosis. Results:Majority of the study participants were males, smokers, in the age groups of 31-40 years. The mean age of males was found to be higher than that of females. (37.64 vs 32.39 years). 89.42% of patients were diagnosed on fluorescent microscopy, while 94.23% were diagnosed with TrueNAT. Sensitivity of TrueNAT was 91.61%, specificity was 87.80% and accuracy was 90.76%. Conclusion: TrueNAT appears to be superior to Fluorescent microscopy in a setting of a designated microscopy center.This can be used for rapid diagnosis, with high sensitivity with specificity when compared to the traditionally accepted fluorescent microscopy.

Basically, this article focuses its attention on the subject of the written works of Amaluddin Darus. His produced works are intellectual literatures produced by a Malay-Muslim scholar figure on a variety of topics and discussions on Islamic rulings on politics, economy, social affairs, science and End-Times events. Works of Amaluddin Darus have been playing an important role in the Malay society in the early development of critical Islamic politics and leadership literatures in Malaysia which are used as a tool of communication and learning and a medium of knowledge development. However, this article analyzed literary writings which were composed circa 1970 to 1979 only to evaluate their characteristics against those produced in 1980 to 1989. Its discussion shall include a brief deliberation on selected primary sources of the written works. The analytical method used in this study is qualitative through textual reference and primary sources as well a method of historical analysis on the progression of an idea. Obtained facts were filtered briefly by using an approach of induction of the Malay World history. Studies showed that the works of Amaluddin Darus have a distinctive identity and superiority and are regarded among intellectual works of Malay figures.

Myopic maculopathy is characterized by the presence of degenerative abnormalities of the central retina. We report the co-existence of a macular hole and atrophic choroidal neovascularization in a highly myopic patient. The occurrence of this association in the same eye without a history of intraocular surgery has been reported very rarely in the literature.OCT is a reliable diagnostic tool for a full thickness macular hole. When an atypical-appearing macular hole is detected, fluorescein angiography and OCT-A should be performed to detect associated choroidalneovascularization.The association described is of exceptional occurrence but with a serious prognosis and very limited chances of visual recovery.

In this paper, In order to make use of the rotating motion characteristics of the roller cage shoe structure in vertical shaft lifting guide device, a nonlinear gyromagnetic excitation piezoelectric superposition beam energy harvester with compact structure, non-contact and high energy harvester efficiency is designed. The nonlinear force between moving magnet and stationary magnet is used to transform the rotating motion of the roller cage shoe into the end vibration of the piezoelectric vibrator. In order to improve the utilization rate of the piezoelectric plate and the low-amplitude response sensitivity of the energy harvester, acrylic material is introduced to re-place the traditional metal substrate, the bottom piezoelectric vibrator is hinged with the end of the top piezoelectric vibrator, and the middle part of the piezoelectric vibrator ends are longitudinal-superimposed beam structure with chute connection. The structural parameters, gyromagnetic excitation properties and strength of the piezoelectric vibrator are optimized and analyzed through finite element simulation and experiments, and the longitudinal and transverse arrays of piezoelectric vibrators are designed. The effects of terminal connection mode, array spacing, array number and load resistance on the power generation performance of the energy harvester are investigated. The results show that when the number of vertical arrays is 8 layers and the array spacing is 1.5 mm, higher voltage output and vibration consistency are achieved. When the horizontal array is 7 groups and the load is 10 kΩ, the maximum output power of the energy harvester is 11.26 mW, which can realize the self-power supply to the wireless transmitting node.

Background

Neuroimaging is the gold-standard diagnostic modality for all patients suspected of stroke. However, the unstructured nature of imaging reports remains a major challenge to extracting useful information from electronic health records systems. Despite the increasing adoption of natural language processing (NLP) for radiology reports, information extraction for many stroke imaging features has not been systematically evaluated.

Objective

In this study, we propose an NLP pipeline, which adopts the state-of-the-art ClinicalBERT model with domain-specific pretraining and task-oriented fine-tuning to extract 13 stroke features from head computed tomography imaging notes.

Methods

We used the model to generate structured data sets with information on the presence or absence of common stroke features for 24,924 patients with strokes. We compared the survival characteristics of patients with and without features of severe stroke (eg, midline shift, perihematomal edema, or mass effect) using the Kaplan-Meier curve and log-rank tests.

Results

Pretrained on 82,073 head computed tomography notes with 13.7 million words and fine-tuned on 200 annotated notes, our HeadCT_BERT model achieved an average area under receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.9831, F1-score of 0.8683, and accuracy of 97%. Among patients with acute ischemic stroke, admissions with any severe stroke feature in initial imaging notes were associated with a lower probability of survival (P<.001).

Conclusions

Our proposed NLP pipeline achieved high performance and has the potential to improve medical research and patient safety.
Materiality Matrices in the Environmental, Social and Governance Context
Authors: Rodrigues António Augusto Baptista
Published: April 2023

Sustainability reports seek to communicate the performance of organizations in the Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) dimensions in line with the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations. Since there is no homogeneity of criteria among the various companies, even in the same sector, the several methodologies seeks to establish specific disclosure standards on ESG factors that facilitate communication between companies and investors about relevant and useful information for decisions through the identification of material and immaterial factors for each of the sectors. Information is material if its omission or misstatement influences people's decisions – likewise, information is immaterial if its omission or misstatement makes little or no difference to the decision-making process. In an ESG context, something is defined as material if it is reasonably likely to affect a company's financial condition or operating performance in terms of the impact it has on its value chain. There are two objectives of this study, first, to identify the main ESG factors that impact companies and that are at the heart of a resource-efficient sustainability strategy through the application of the materiality matrix, second, to envision that after this identification, the company it can optimize its strategic orientation and direct internal management in responding to material issues. This is a descriptive research with a qualitative approach, using bibliographical, normative and documental sources. The study made it possible to analyze and conclude on the importance of the correct diagnosis of material and immaterial factors in the elaboration of the materiality matrix in a banking institution with an impact on the value chain and on the real contribution to the objectives of sustainable development.
Consumption of Junk Foods and Risk of Type 2 Diabetes: A Review
Authors: Mishra Shubhi
Published: April 2023

According to the estimation of International Diabetes Federation (IDF) 2021, there are 537 million diabetics worldwide. The purpose of the current review is to explore the relationship between consumption of junk food and type 2 diabetes. Junk food is defined as being easily accessible, typically inexpensive, and having low nutritive value. These foods have lesser amounts of iron, calcium, and dietary fiber and are higher in calories, salt, and saturated fat. Unhealthy diet is one of the important lifestyle factors responsible for several health conditions. Junk foods includes deep fried, processed or ultra-processed foods (UPFs) and high sugar containing foodstuffs and beverages such as Sugar Sweetened Beverages (SSBs) are directly linked with higher body mass index (BMI), adiposity and increased insulin resistance (IR). For pertinent databases IDF Atlas reports, PubMed, Springer, Elsevier, Web of Science and BMJ were searched for original and meta-analysis studies published up to March, 2023. In recent decades, consumption of these foods has significantly increased worldwide. The primary risk factor for type 2 diabetes is obesity and consuming junk foods is strongly associated with being obese. Junk food consequences include an increase in type 2 diabetes cases especially among youths and adult women compared to men. Obesity or high BMI indicate a positive energy balance due to junk food intake. As a result, the recurrent consumption of junk food increases the likelihood of developing the type 2 diabetes.
