Published: July 2024

Introduction: Maxillary endognathia is a skeletal malocclusion that, if left untreated, can evolve into a complex malocclusion, which hinders facial development and creates breathing problems due to nasal constriction. In 2010, Lee and collaborators created a mini-implant-assisted rapid maxillary expansion (MARPE) technique. Objectives: To describe the MARPE protocol and its clinical effects. Materials and methods: A bibliographic search was carried out in the Pubmed, Science Direct, Scielo and Google Scholar databases referring to the last 10 years. Results: The search strategies described enabled 150 articles to be obtained which went through various selection stages. In the end, 15 articles were evaluated and selected for this review. Discussion: The MARPE technique has reduced the skeletal, dento-alveolar and periodontal side effects caused by conventional appliances, optimizing the potential for skeletal expansion in individuals with advanced stages of skeletal maturation. Conclusion: The MARPE appliance has bone and dental anchorage. The clinical effects include the opening of the maxilla in the frontal plane, an increase in the volume of the nasal cavity after expansion, an increase in the interzygomatic distance, an increase in the average width of the face and the width of the alar base and widening of the nose. There was also a decrease in buccal bone thickness and alveolar crest height and a buccal inclination in the premolars and molars. In carrying out this research, we found that there are few or practically no studies on the effect on the pulp cavity, root resorption and orbital volume.

Authors: Mohamad Norisham  , Husin Fitrien
Published: July 2024

Berries are well-known not only for their flavour and nutritional content but also for the potential health effects of their bioactive components. Stilbenes, a class of phenolic compounds found in berries, have essential pharmacological activities in many biological pathways. The COVID-19 pandemic had put many countries in the world in a state of chaos. Although the prevalence of COVID-19 seems to have subsided, the search for the remedy to overcome this pathogen is still ongoing. Plant-derived substances have well been recorded to display potent effects including antiviral activity. Hence, the aim of this study is to determine the potential of stilbene derivatives to act as antiviral agents against COVID-19. In silico molecular docking method was employed to elucidate the structural interaction of eleven stilbene derivatives to SARS-CoV-2 Mpro binding pocket using CB-Dock2 server, followed by drug-likeness and ADMET prediction analysis. Based on the docking score and ligand-receptor interactions, rhaponticin and polydatin had the best vina docking scores for the SARS-CoV-2 Mpro pocket with -8.1 kcal/mol and -8.0 kcal/mol respectively. These scores were found to be lower than controls, remdesivir (-7.8 kcal/mol) and inhibitor N3 (-7.9 kcal/mol), indicating its high affinity towards the binding target. In conclusion, the study identified that rhaponticin and polydatin might serve as potential lead compounds for developing new SARS-CoV-2 drugs. However, these results need to be validated by in vitro and in vivo experimental studies before these compounds can be considered for further development as antiviral agents.

Authors: Gary Athena Lateesya , Aganduk Adella Anding , Syakilla Nur , Matanjun Patricia
Published: July 2024

Gluten free diets and lifestyles are rapidly increasing in popularity mainly due to the increase in consumer awareness about gluten related disorders and gluten intolerances. With increasing demand, the food industry strives to develop new food products that are gluten-free and able to be consumed by those who suffer from these conditions. The objective of this study was to develop a gluten-free bread from brown rice-potato starch composite flour incorporated with red seaweed Kappaphycus alvarezii (KA) powder. KA powder, ranging from 2% to 10%, was added, and the physical properties of the gluten- free bread were assessed. Sensory evaluation was conducted using two methods, the descriptive and hedonic tests. The amount of seaweed significantly (p<0.05) influenced the loaf volume, with F5 (10%), the highest concentration of seaweed, having the highest reduction of volume of 15.38% compared to the control F0 (without seaweed). With increasing seaweed concentration, the brightness and yellowness of each bread decreased. The texture profiles of KA-incorporated bread formulations were also affected with the firmness of bread being the most significant change. The descriptive test showed that F5 (10%) had the highest intensity of seaweed effect which affected the colour, texture, aroma, taste and aftertaste of the bread. The hedonic test showed that the most acceptable formulation was F1 (2%). From these formulations, the best formulation F1 (2%) was chosen for further nutrient analysis where it was compared to the control (without seaweed). It was shown that F1 had significantly (p<0.05) higher moisture, ash, fat, and dietary fibre content, but lower carbohydrate and protein content compared to F0 (without seaweed). In conclusion, the formulation of gluten-free KA- incorporated brown rice-potato starch bread had an impact on the bread texture, colour, volume, and nutrient content.

Authors: Olgun Esra , Topçu Esra , Çetin Şirin
Published: July 2024

Aims: It is well-known that regular moderate-intensity aerobic exercise has positive effects on various health indicators,
including obesity and cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) is defined as a highly sensitive
predictor of plasma atherogenicity and cardiovascular risk. Furthermore, it is known that physical activity has a reducing effect on AIP with its ability to decrease visceral fat and its positive impact on blood lipids. Additionally, large-scale AIP screenings are recommended for the early detection of obese individuals and effective intervention. This study aims to determine the relationship between regular exercise and cardiometabolic parameters and obesity based on current data.
Methods: The study involved a total of 126 participants aged 18-65 and it was conducted in the form of file screening, where the medical history reports of all patients were examined, and systemic physical findings were assessed. Fasting blood samples were used to determine the lipid profile. Anthropometric measurements and biochemical parameters of the participants were determined and AIP was calculated using the formula AIP=log10 (TG/HDL-C). Participants were categorized into groups based on their exercise status, BMI, and AIP risks, and the data of the study groups were evaluated statistically.
Results: Participants were divided into two groups based on exercise status, and in the exercise group, body mass index
(BMI), body weight, waist circumference, AIP, and triglyceride levels were found to be lower, while high-density lipoprotein
(HDL) levels were higher compared to the non-exercise group. In all participants, moderate-intensity exercise was negatively
correlated with AIP, body weight, BMI, waist circumference, triglyceride, and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) levels; and
positively correlated with HDL levels.
Conclusion: The relationships uncovered in this study among exercise, cardiometabolic parameters, and obesity status are
expected to contribute to future research, especially in studies focusing on the impact of exercise on CVD and obesity.

Published: July 2024

Aims: Intensive care nurses take active roles in the treatment and care practices of patients who are in critical condition and who develop neurological problems such as coma and brain death. Nurses need to have knowledge about the subject and take precautions against ethical problems. This study aimed to determine the perceptions of intensive care nurses about the concepts of brain death and coma through metaphors. Metaphor analysis was used as a qualitative research method.
Methods: Using content analysis, 20 intensive care nurses produced 20 different metaphors for the question, “Coma is similar to ..., because ...”. Nurses mostly likened the concept of a “coma” to a “plant”, “stay together”, and “deep sleep”. They also produced 20 different metaphors for the question, “Brain death is similar to ..., because…”.
Results: Nurses mostly likened the concept of brain death to a “plant”, “absolute death”, and a “coma”. Brain death and a coma were common to three of the metaphors produced by nurses (“uncertainty/unresponsiveness”, “death/eternity”, and “permanent breakdown” metaphors). The answers given to the questions about the concepts of brain death and a coma were “uncertainty/unresponsiveness”, “death/eternity”, and “permanent breakdown” metaphors. The nurses confused the concepts of a coma and brain death with each other and had similar perceptions of the two concepts.
Conclusion: Three of the metaphors produced by nurses were common “uncertainty/unresponsiveness”, “death/eternity”, and “permanent breakdown”. Metaphors produced by the nurses regarding the concept of brain death were categorized as disaster and support.

Authors: K.E. Overo , Gilbert Damini Righteous
Published: July 2024

This study investigates the resistance of Chikoko blended concrete to chloride attack, which is critical for ensuring the durability and longevity of concrete structures. Chloride attack is a major concern for concrete structures, as it can lead to corrosion of embedded steel reinforcement, undermining structural integrity. The study employs the chloride attack strength loss index (CASLI) to gauge performance, examining the influence of various factors, including Chikoko concentration, calcination temperature, and curing age. A comprehensive analysis demonstrates a quadratic relationship between these factors and compressive strength. The optimal outcome occurs at a 10% Chikoko concentration and calcination temperatures ranging from 400°C to 800°C. These conditions yield a concrete with high resistance to chloride attack and robust compressive strength. A quadratic model was developed using design Expert 13 in other to predict CASLI derived from the data, providing a reliable tool for forecasting the durability of Chikoko blended concrete under chloride exposure. The study also identifies key independent variables for further optimization, enabling concrete with both high chloride resistance and enhanced compressive strength. This approach shows considerable improvements over traditional concrete made with natural sand, suggesting Chikoko blended concrete as a viable alternative for high-performance applications. Overall, the results indicate that Chikoko blended concrete has significant potential for use in construction, combining durability with high strength. This makes it a promising material for a variety of construction projects, particularly where chloride exposure is a concern, such as in coastal environments or de-icing salt-exposed structures.

The method used is the historical method, with the stages of source collection, source criticism, interpretation and writing. Data were collected from conventional and non-conventional libraries (internet), sources collected in the form of books, journal articles, website articles and others printed or from the internet that support this research. Furthermore, the facts obtained are narrated diachronically so that the facts described are chronological. The results of this study show that the development of vaccines that is happening now is a great contribution from Ottoman Turkey. The history of vaccination was started by the Ottoman Turkish government, Ottoman (Ottoman Turkish) physicians created and developed the variolation (inoculation) method, a traditional vaccine method by taming and using viruses (germs) applied to human skin that had previously been scratched. In this way, the virus injected into the human body (smallpox sufferers or non-smallpox sufferers) will experience illness and during the illness the immune process is formed so that the patient will get immunity (antibody). The success of vaccination from Ottoman Turkey has spread to Europe which saved many human lives and eradicated smallpox, especially England which was brought by Lady Mary Montagu, traders, sailors, ambassadors and others who learned the variolation method from Ottoman Turkey.

Agrohomoeopathy is a new era of homoeopathy that aims to revolutionize the agricultural sector by enabling organic farming and chemical-free crop production. This scoping study investigates the potential of agrohomoeopathy in agriculture and examines its benefits and limitations. A comprehensive scoping review of 76 published research articles was conducted to explore the effects of agrohomoeopathy on crop development, antifungal toxicity, and stress conditions. The included research papers showed more positive results towards lower potency, with only 5 showing negative results after the homoeopathic intervention. However, some studies found limitations such as non-relevant or difficult-to-follow studies, sub-standard methodology, lack of replication, lack of negative controls, and no use of statistical analysis. There were no standard operating procedures or specific guidelines for agrohomoeopathic experiments. The authors present the details of agrohomoeopathic studies in Table 3 and critically appraise individual papers in the discussion section. The agrohomoeopathic practice will lead to cost-effective farming and beneficial effects on human health. The authors suggest developing standard operating procedures for agrohomoeopathic experiments and enabling the switch from conventional to agroecological farming.

ان المسائل المستجدة في الفقه الاسلامي كثيرة، اذ ان النصوص متناهية، اما المستجدات فغير متناهية، فلا بد من بحث المسائل المستجدة، وربطها او قياسها على المسائل التي ذكرها الفقهاء المتقدمون، فالمسلم بحاجة الى معرفة الحكم الشرعي في المسائل المستجدة لتصح عبادته، فانتقاض الوضوء من الاحكام الشرعية المهمة؛ لأنه يبنى عليهِ اعظم ركن من اركان الاسلام وهي الصلاة، فلا بد للمسلم من معرفة حكم المسائل المستجدة التي تخص الوضوء من حيث الانتقاض او عدم الانتقاض، فالبحث في هذه المسائل يجعل لطالب العلم ملكة فقهية يضبط بها الاحكام الفقهية، لذلك بحثت مسألة الغسيل الكلوي واثره في انتقاض الوضوء
