‘Unfortunate creatures’: The hazards of syphilis in wet-nursing
Authors: Sioda Tomasz , Thorley Virginia
Published: February 2021

While the selection criteria for wet-nurses had little changed across two millennia, other aspects of their occupation were far from homogenous, changing under the diverse infl uences of culture, current threats to the health of wet-nurses and the babies they fed, contemporaneous medical knowledge and healthcare. Fears of the transmission of the prevailing infectious diseases of the times led to medical involvement at all levels, from selection and inspection of applicants for wet-nurse positions to treatment of illnesses that arose in the child. The article discusses the implications of syphilis, the most serious disease transmissible through wet-nursing before the discovery of antibiotics, and the preventive measures and treatment used by the physicians across fi ve centuries, according to the knowledge of the time. The period covered extends into the early-twentieth century.
Concepto impeditur tam uicio uiri quam mulieris – kobieca i męska niepłodność na podstawie traktatu Liber de sinthomatibus mulierum
Authors: Głusiuk Anna
Published: February 2021

This article based on the treatise Liber de sinthomatibus muluerum considered one of the most important medieval treaties on gynecology and obstetrics discusses the issues related to the problem of male and female infertility. Despite the fact that its author remains unknown the treatise is an important source showing the state of medical knowledge in this area. Despite the fact that the author tells about procreation of both sexes, he defi nitely paid more attention to women what indicates that for him they were more responsible for the lack of offspring. Information about irregular menstruation, abnormal physical structure and psychological problems show that it was already known how many factors impact on procreation.

Published: February 2021

An independent Department of Science and Higher education at the KC PZPR was created in 1949 to take responsibility for all matters related to the development of science and higher education in the post-war Stalinist Poland. The department was responsible not only for the development of new solutions in the domain of science and higher education, but it also created reports on the entire process of education itself, the level of the ideological education of the students, the number of graduates etc. College faculty was another major area of interest. The surviving documentation consists of i.a. copies of various international trip request forms, reports from scientifi c conferences, memos describing the scientifi c community of a given college, as well as various types of complaints and denunciations. The article focuses mainly on the professors from the various medical colleges and aims at presenting a snapshot of the then-contemporary medical elite in the scientifi c domain as seen by Party offi cials. To what extent was the presented image distorted and what was the reason for its creation? – those are only some of the questions that the article tries to answer.
Nathanael Jacob Gerlach i Christian Gabriel Fischer w Północnych Niderlandach: zapomniane źródło do dziejów medycyny i przyrodoznawstwa w Zjednoczonych Prowincjach późnych lat 20. XVIII w. – część I
Authors: Pękacka-Falkowska Katarzyna
Published: February 2021

In early modern times, numerous inhabitants of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, both townsmen and representatives of the nobility and magnatery, visited the United Provinces. Many of the burghers also studied at the University of Leiden or other Dutch universities and gymnasia. In the autumn of 1727, Nathanael Jacob Gerlach from Gdańsk/Danzig matriculated at the Academia Lugduno-Batava. The Danziger, together with his tutor, Christian Gabriel Fischer, took a few-year educational journey through Western countries. The testimony of their several months’ stay in the Netherlands is the 2nd volume of Fischer’s handwritten Itinerarium. The selection presents those excerpts from the 2nd volume of the diaries which describe people, places and events related to the teaching of medicine and natural history in the 18th century Netherlands. The fi rst part of the paper focuses on Leiden, the second one – on Amsterdam, Haarlem and Utrecht.
Kampus w mieście – narzędzia i efekty polityki przestrzennej Uniwersytetu Warszawskiego
Authors: Gomółka Mikołaj
Published: February 2021

The main goal of the article is to show actions taken by the University of Warsaw in order to improve the quality of campus spaces, as well as to evaluate these actions. To gather information, the method research by design was used, because the author is an active participant of the planning process. The first part of the article describes the history and main features of three campuses – Centrum-Powiśle, Ochota and Służew – and the spatial ambitions of the university. Challenges facing higher education institutions are also presented. The second part of the article is intended to show the main tools and actions implemented to fulfil the ambition of the University of Warsaw. The main tool is a long-term investment program, co-financed by the government. It is a push factor for the university to rethink its spatial structure. Urban planning process is shown more specifically on the example of the Ochota Campus masterplan. In the third part of the article there is an assessment of activities carried out so far. It was found out that the long-term investment program is a good tool to increase the quality of campus space, it should, however, implement financing of public spaces as much as new buildings. It was also emphasized that the participation process should include neighbouring communities and not only people from the university. Finally, future perspectives of how campus spaces are going to change are presented.
Zrównoważony i innowacyjny kampus uniwersytecki na przykładzie kampusu Szkoły Głównej Handlowej w Warszawie
Authors: Bryx Marek
Published: February 2021

Sustainable development is a concept that is already established in our consciousness. It can be assumed that, in relation to the city, it means the implementation of 4 principles (goals) that such a city and its inhabitants should strive to achieve (Szelągowska, Bryx 2015), namely: 1. Aspire to be close to the ecosystem, obtaining spatial order with the least possible interference in this ecosystem. 2. Produce no more waste than the city can assimilate, while consuming no more resources than it can recreate. 3. To promote and consolidate a lifestyle consistent with the above principles, which all residents create by their daily conduct, not just the city authorities. 4. Comply with the principles of honesty and justice. This definition, a little too detailed, aims to highlight two aspects of sustainable development: human proximity to the environment and ethics in human behaviour towards the natural and social environment. The university campus is part of the city, intellectually radiating, forging and disseminating new concepts. By disseminating the idea of a sustainable city, the campus should be an example of implementing these principles in a community constituting an urban enclave. Answering the questions: is this happening? and is it possible at universities that were created before the emergence of the idea of sustainable development ? is the purpose of this article. The author, considering these issues, uses the experience of the campus of the Warsaw School of Economics, designed 100 years ago, constructed in stages and seeking its path of development.
Recht aus den Fugen – Ein Beitrag zum Wesen der "Bewilligung nach Artikel 271 des Strafgesetzbuches"
Authors: Husmann Markus
Published: February 2021

In jüngerer Zeit haben der Bundesrat und die Bundesverwaltung eine Praxis etabliert, grenzüberschreitende Amts- und Rechtshilfehandlungen ausserhalb des gesetzlichen und völkerrechtlichen Regelwerkes in Form einer «Bewilligung nach Artikel 271 StGB» zu erlauben. Art. 271 StGB ist eine Verbotsnorm, die Eingriffe in die staatliche Souveränität, etwa durch die Nichteinhaltung der Schranken des Amts- und Rechtshilferechts, pönalisiert. Wie nun kann es sein, dass die Exekutive just darin eine Ermächtigung erblickt, solche Handlungen zu erlauben? Die Untersuchung zeigt, dass nicht eine Strafnorm, sondern – neben dem Notrecht – einzig das verfassungsunmittelbare Interessenwahrungsrecht (Art. 184 Abs. 3 BV) eine Rechtsgrundlage für solche Bewilligungen bilden kann. Die Dissertation enthält eine umfassende Darstellung der Vorgaben und Schranken beim Erteilen einer solchen Bewilligung nach Massgabe von Art. 184 Abs. 3 BV. An diesen Rahmen hält sich die aktuelle Praxis nicht, wodurch letztlich ein «permanenter Ausnahmezustand» im Bereich der internationalen Kooperation geschaffen wird. Vor diesem Hintergrund plädiert der Autor dafür, dass die Bewilligungspraxis in die dogmatischen Schranken zurückverwiesen wird.

En la presente comunicación se analizará dicha opinión consultiva, sus antecedentes jurisprudenciales y su posterior impacto en las normas del Derecho Internacional.
Afectividad y conformación del sujeto en mi vida sin mi y la vida secreta de las palabras de Isabel Coixet
Authors: Monereo-Atienza Cristina
Published: February 2021

En este trabajo me propongo analizar dos películas de la directora catalana Isabel Coixet que reflejan las tesis que apuntan a una naturaleza contradictoria del ser humano donde tiene cabida tanto la individualidad, la autosuficiencia y la justicia, como la socialización, la compasión y el cuidado. De este modo, desde los márgenes del sistema que favorece la reflexión artística, Coixet da cuenta de lo que carece la concepción oficial del sujeto de derechos y del Derecho, especialmente en lo referente al amor o el afecto, apuntando hacia una concepción relacional de los seres humanos que genera un debate sobre la importancia de las relaciones familiares, sobre el trabajo alienante y la necesaria conciliación laboral, y sobre la vida en la esfera privada como ámbito que trasciende a lo público.
Hannah Arendt y John Adams sobre la revolución y la índole de las praxis
Authors: Goyenechea Elisa
Published: February 2021

Este trabajo expone la recepción de algunos aspectos del pensamiento de John Adams por parte de Hannah Arendt. Presentamos su deudaen la compresión de los conceptos de Revolución como fenómeno esencialmente diverso del de Restauración, y de República como un régimen distinto del gobierno constitucional. Primero, en relación al suceso revolucionario, el desplazamiento desde la ambición restauradora inicial hasta el evento de la Revolución en Adams, provoca el enfoque teórico de Arendt con su categoría de praxis, con la que justifica la “absoluta novedad” inherente al término Revolución. Segundo, abordaremos la distinción arendtiana entre auctoritas y potestas, decisiva para acreditar la fundación perdurable en América y la inestabilidad en Francia. Por último, mostraremos que en los capítulos IV y V de On Revolution, Arendt es ambigua en relación al modo en que comprende y comunica su noción de Revolución, ya que en el instante fundacional y constituyente (en sus términos, Revolución), auctoritas y potestas son indiscernibles.
Clínicas jurídicas, m´étodo clínico y los conflicotos susceptibles de recibir tratamiento clínico
Authors: Sánchez Gómez Raúl
Published: February 2021

El modelo de educación clínica estadounidense no resulta exportable, en su integridad al modelo español, vistas las diferencias metodológicasy funcionales que ambos sistemas jurídicos plantean, en sede universitaria y profesional. La conceptualización de las clínicas jurídicas españolas se anuda, razonablemente, a su funcionalidad. Como punto de partida, se disponen los primeros parámetros que deben informar la educación jurídica clínica. Con un función social desarrollada, la función pedagógica debe apostar por el diseño de un modelo propio de las ciencias jurídicas. No obstante, la interconexión entre ambas funciones, aun no se encuentra firmemente definida. El tratamiento clínico del conflicto jurídico debe también servirse de la perspectiva que aporta el Derecho Procesal.

Through the Lens of Postmodernism: Uniqueness of the Anorectic Families
Authors: Chan Zenobia , Ma Joyce
Published: February 2021

This paper challenges the monolithic assumption of the anorectic families in Hong Kong by blindly adopting the western theoretical framework of family therapy. It is problematic that family therapy lacks indigenous culture-specific knowledge and ignores the voices of these multi-categories of families. It is inappropriate to conceptualize these families as being similar and to stereotype them as experiencing particular difficulties. In order to bridge the homogeneity and address the multiplicity of these families, the paper examines both the ideologies of postmodernism and the process of confession that can enrich the understanding of anorectic families and advance family practice. The paper ends by discussing both reservations and the significance of the postmodernist thought in family therapy.
Impact of Brand Equity on Consumer Brand Preference and Brand Purchase Intention
Authors:   Institute of Business Management, Bashir Muhammad Adnan
Published: February 2021

Product  differentiation  has  become  a  difficult  task  for  the  marketers  because  of  the  increasing number of brands in the market. It is also noted that, the product differentiation which gets it basis from the brand i.e. brand equity, turns out to be more effective than others. This is the reason why the marketers are emphasizing more on strengthening the brand equity of a brand. A conceptual framework was constructed to measure the impact brand equity has from all the other components under  brand  equity.  Furthermore,  consumer  brand  preference  and  consumer’s  brand  purchase  intention were also studied along with the effects of brand equity on them. The sample size was chosen 385 and it was quite responsive; only 5% of them did not respond. The prior studies were used in developing the constructs by making sure their applicability and validity in recent times. Likert scale was used in the questionnaire to get the answers from respondents. The data was collected on the basis of convenience sampling. Model was analyzed completely after conducting the preliminary analysis. Then hypotheses were analyzed on basis of regression which ruled out only one out of seven.

Authors: Ozerova N.
Published: February 2021

Based on the data from economic notes to the General Land Survey, the ranges of commercial fish and crayfish species that inhabited waterbodies of the Moscow River basin in the second half of the 18th century are reconstructed. Eighteen maps showing the distribution of 22 fish species, including Acipenser ruthenus L., Abramis brama L., Barbatula barbatula L., Lota lota L., Sander lucioperca L. and others are compiled. Comparison of commercial fish species that lived in the Moscow River basin in the second half of the 18th century with data from ichthyological studies in the beginning of the XXI century and materials of archaeological surveys shows that almost all of these species have lived in the Moscow River basin since ancient times and have survived to the present day.

Responsible Tourism: A New Era of Responsibility?
Authors: Cheer Joseph M. , Ting Hiram , Leong Choi-Meng
Published: February 2021

The discourse on responsible tourism, although not new, has been given a new lease on life in the wake of COVID-19. Before 2020, global tourism mobilities were unparalleled with seemingly little standing in the way of the juggernaut that tourism had become. Typically, tourism is seen through an economic lens – for the jobs it provides and the impetus it gives to the coffers of governments and the wallets of tourism dependent communities. This has not changed since the tourism growth model was spawned in the 1960s and has only intensified through to the era of overtourism. In invoking the term, New Era of Responsibility, it not too subtly suggests that for global tourism, the reframing that needs to take place is urgent and has been expedited by the pandemic of 2020. What is called for has been broached before and if tourism is to be the panacea of the catalogue of things ascribed to it, business as usual is surely not feasible. The call for an epoch where responsibility is assumed reverberates in talking circles that reference the Anthropocene as a time when the urgency to act with greater responsibility is now, more than ever, vital, given that the demands put upon the planet continue to intensify while the requisite attention needed to allow recovery and replenishment, and to stave off system failure, continually deteriorates. Tourism has become entrenched as a lifestyle phenomenon for many, and a livelihood source for as many more. The call for responsible tourism appeals to finding the balance between competing priorities and most importantly, to acknowledge planetary limitations.

Congenital Abdominal Wall Defects: Staged closure by Dual Mesh
Authors: Risby Kirsten , Jakobsen Marianne Skytte , Qvist Niels
Published: February 2021

Objective: To evaluate the clinical utility of GORE® DUALMESH (GDM) in the staged closure of large congenital abdominal wall defects.Materials and Methods: Data of patients with congenital abdominal wall defects managed with GDM was analyzed for outcome regarding complete fascial closure; mesh related complications; and post-discharge gastrointestinal surgery.Results: GDM was placed in 34 (gastroschisis=27, omphalocele=7) patients during the study period. Complete closure of the fascia was obtained in one patient with omphalocele and in 22 patients with gastroschisis. Mesh related surgical complications were seen in five (15%) children: four had detachment of the mesh and one patient developed abdominal compartment syndrome. Mesh related clinical infection was observed in five children. In hospital mortality occurred in four cases (2 gastroschisis and 2 omphalocele) and was not procedure-related. Of the 30 children discharged, 28 (82%) were still alive. At follow-up, three patients (10%) were operated for a minor ventral hernia and 4 children were operated (laparotomy and adhesionolysis) for adhesive intestinal obstruction.Conclusion: Staged closure with GDM is a safe alternative when primary fascial closure is difficult.

Border Imperialism and Exclusion in Canadian Parliamentary Talk about International Students
Authors: McCartney Dale M.
Published: February 2021

Although there is a rich critical literature examining international student policy in Canada, very little of it considers the views of Members of Parliament. MPs have limited direct influence over international student policy, but their policy talk about international students defines the context within which such policy is developed. For that reason Parliamentary debate deserves study. This paper examines MPs’ discussion of international students between 1984 and 2019, tracing themes in MP policy talk over the globalization era. It finds that MPs evince remarkably consistent attitudes towards international students. Throughout the period MP policy talk shows that Parliamentarians saw international students as outsiders who were only ofvalue to the extent that they could be made to serve Canada’s economic or political agenda. The uniformity of this attitude and the lack of dissenting voices suggest that MPs’ views may be a significant barrier to reforming international student policy in Canada.
A systematic design approach for objectifying Building with Nature solutions
Authors: De Vries Mindert , Van Koningsveld Mark , Aarninkhof Stefan , De Vriend Huib
Published: February 2021

Hydraulic engineering infrastructure is supposed to keep functioning for many years and is likely to interfere with both the natural and the social environment at various scales. Due to its long life-cycle, hydraulic infrastructure is bound to face changing environmental conditions as well as changes in societal views on acceptable solutions. This implies that sustainability and adaptability are/should be important attributes of the design, the development and operation of hydraulic engineering infrastructure. Sustainability and adaptability are central to the Building with Nature (BwN) approach. Although nature-based design philosophies, such as BwN, have found broad support, a key issue that inhibits a wider mainstream implementation is the lack of a method to objectify BwN concepts. With objectifying, we mean turning the implicit into an explicit engineerable ‘object’, on the one hand, and specifying clear design ‘objectives’, on the other. This paper proposes the “Frame of Reference” approach as a method to systematically transform BwN concepts into functionally specified engineering designs. It aids the rationalisation of BwN concepts and facilitates the transfer of crucial information between project development phases, which benefits the uptake, acceptance and eventually the successful realisation of BwN solutions. It includes an iterative approach that is well suited for assessing status changes of naturally dynamic living building blocks of BwN solutions. The applicability of the approach is shown for a case that has been realised in the Netherlands. Although the example is Dutch, the method, as such, is generically applicable.

Esta investigación se llevó a cabo con el objetivo de conocer las correlacione existentes entre las familias de Collembola y los factores químicos edáficos en un ecosistema de herbazal, bajo el efecto del herbicida Paraquat, durante la estación lluviosa y seca. El mismo se realizó en Ollas Arriba, Capira, Panamá Oeste. Los especímenes de Collembola, fueron colectados utilizando trampas pitfall, encontrándose 8 familias. Se realizó un análisis químico del suelo para determinar las variables químicas edáficas, de las áreas estudiadas. A través de una prueba de Componentes Principales, se determinaron los factores químicos edáficos, que presentaron mayor peso sobre las familias de Collembola. A través de la prueba de correlación de Pearson, se establecieron las correlaciones existentes entre las familias de Collembola y los factores químicos edáficos. Con una Análisis Cluster de Bray–Curtis, se generaron dendrogramas, que confirmaban las similitudes o correlaciones existentes entre las familias de Collembola y los factores químicos edáficos de las áreas estudiadas.
INFLUENCIA DEL LATEX COMO REPELENTE EN PLANTAS ANTE HORMIGAS CORTADORAS DE HOJAS
Authors: Hurtado Yow Javier Amir
Published: February 2021

Se realizó un experimento corto y sencillo, cuya pregunta de investigación fue: ¿El látex inhibirá los cortes de hoja por parte de las hormigas? Sobre la base de esa cuestión, surgió la hipótesis que el látex inhibe los cortes de hojas por parte de las hormigas, prediciendo que, si se impregna látex a los bordes de las hojas predilectas por hormigas, entonces las hormigas no cortarán estas hojas. El número de cortes realizados en las hojas sin látex fue significativamente mayor con respecto a los cortes en las hojas con látex. Esto indica que el látex por sí solo resulta ser un inhibidor natural contra la presencia de hormigas cortadoras de hojas.

Authors: Polo L. Edgar Alexis
Published: February 2021

Los géneros Panicum variedades como Mombaça, Tobiatá y Colonial se han introducido a diferentes regiones del país con éxito y fracaso debido a que no se tiene la información de su comportamiento a nivel nacional y nos guiamos por la de los países donde se han introducidos con características de clima, suelo y topografía totalmente variante a la de nuestro país. El trabajo se realizó en el Centro de Enseñanzas e Investigaciones Agropecuarias de Tocumen (CEIAT) de la Facultad de Ciencias Agropecuarias de la Universidad de Panamá. El objetivo de este trabajo fue estudiar tres cultivares de Panicum máximum (Massai, Tanzania y Aruana). La siembra fue con semilla gámica a razón de 6.0 kg/ha de semillas gámica, a una distancia de 0.50 cm entre surco y a chorro continuo. El diseño experimental fue de bloque completamente al azar, con cuatro repeticiones. Los cortes se realizaron cada 30 días. El tamaño de las parcelas fue de 9.00 mt2. Aunque las tres especies tuvieron comportamiento aceptable por su rendimiento de materia seca (P<0.05), destaco Panicum maximum cv. Tanzania con 30.00 y 9.40 t/ha para los periodos lluviosos (invierno) y seco (verano), respectivamente, mientras que Panicum maximum cv. Massai resulto superior (P<0.05) en el contenido de proteína bruta (11.30%). En la época seca no se encontraron diferencias significativas en la altura de los cultivares, pero en el periodo lluvioso Panicum maximum cv. Tanzania y Panicum maximum cv. Massai superaron a Panicum maximum cv. Aruana.

Esta investigación explicó cómo ha sido la evolución de la autonomía de la Universidad de Panamá en las diversas constituciones de la República de Panamá. Se analizó la evolución de las instituciones de educación superior en Panamá. Se conceptuó a nivel doctrinal y normativo el concepto de la autonomía universitaria y se estudió el tratamiento de las diversas constituciones de nuestra época republicana a la figura de la autonomía universitaria. Para esto, se utilizó las técnicas de revisión bibliográficas e interpretación normativa. Se llegó a la conclusión que la evolución de la regulación constitucional de la autonomía universitaria ha ido en detrimento del alcance de la autonomía de la Universidad de Panamá, al no adecuarse a la evolución legal, política y social que ha tenido esta figura.
Prospectiva De Los Códigos De Ética, Su Aplicabilidad Y La Docencia De La Ética En El Ejercicio Profesional, En La Profesión De La Contabilidad

En esta investigación cualitativa, se desea conocer si es importante el uso del Código del IESBA, si existe la asignatura ética y ejercicio profesional en universidades y si existe respaldo estatal al que denuncia faltas éticas y de corrupción. Se puede afirmar, que el Código del IESBA es importante, pero aun falta mucho para que sea adoptado por todos los países americanos; existen universidades que no cuentan con la asignatura ética y ejercicio profesional, las que cuentan con ella, no preparan adecuadamente a sus alumnos y los docentes también deben ser preparados; es necesario que la AIC mantenga comunicación directa con las universidades y los países patrocinadores en relación con la actualización permanente de la asignatura de ética y ejercicio profesional; existe respaldo en los países al contador público que denuncie faltas a la ética y contra la corrupción pero, en algunos, las sanciones no se aplican a la altura de los delitos. El Código del IESBA cuenta con un programa de actualización continua mientras que los códigos estatales y profesionales no. Las agencias reguladoras deben preocuparse de la reducción del incentivo para cometer fraude por medio del uso del código de ética estatal o internacional.
Hereditary Paraganglioma in an Omani Family

Published: February 2021

Pheochromocytomas are tumors derived from chromaffin cells within the medulla of adrenal glands, whereas paragangliomas are tumors derived from extra-adrenal chromaffin cells of the sympathetic prevertebral and paravertebral ganglia. The growing deployment of genetic testing has shown that approximately 30% of pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma (PPGL) patients carry familial pathogenic germline mutations in known PPGL-susceptibility genes. This prompts genetic screening of their family members and leads to an increase in the detection of asymptomatic PPGLs or non-secreting tumors reported in familial cases discovered after the index patient work-up. Here, we present three case reports of affected members of a single Omani family with a history of paraganglioma and highly variable clinical presentations among the affected members. Eight out of the 16 siblings (50.0%) in the second generation of the reported family pedigree were carriers of the succinate dehydrogenase B:c.574T>C mutation, reflecting the autosomal dominant inheritance risk of paraganglioma and other associated tumors. This report highlights the complexity of managing such families and encourages further discussion regarding the management of asymptomatic PPGL-associated mutation carriers. Genetic screening has enabled the early detection of PPGLs, for which early surgical intervention can significantly impact prognosis and treatment strategies to reduce morbidity and mortality. Although PPGLs are similar tumors, they warrant distinction from each other with respect to their differences in locations, manifestations, secretory functions, genetic syndromes, and propensity to metastasize. While current guidelines are clear concerning symptomatic PPGL cases, the management of asymptomatic mutation carriers requires further elucidation.
Awareness of Diabetic Patients Regarding the Bidirectional Association between Periodontal Disease and Diabetes Mellitus: A Public Oral Health Concern
Authors: Sharma Ajay , Siddiqi Allauddin , Zafar Sobia , Quaranta Alessandro
Published: February 2021

Aim and objective

The literature regarding the perception of the two-way relationship between diabetes mellitus and periodontal disease representing diabetic patients living in Australia is scarce. The study aimed to evaluate the knowledge and attitudes of diabetic patients regarding the bidirectional link and the role of medical healthcare professionals in providing oral health advice to their patients.

Materials and methods

A convenience sample of diabetic patients attending general practice-based medical and dental centers was invited to complete a questionnaire-based survey. The survey was anonymous, and the responses of the participants were not identifiable.

Results

A total of 241 participants completed the questionnaire; however, three survey responses were excluded as most of the critical questions were not answered. The majority (87.81%) of the participants reported with type 2 diabetes mellitus, while 11.76% had type 1 diabetes mellitus. Just over 61% of the participants reported brushing their teeth twice a day. The majority of participants (66.38%) said that their medical practitioner/diabetic educator never asked or examined their oral hygiene or any issues with the gums or teeth. The study noted that 54% of the participants never received any information regarding the bidirectional relationship between periodontal disease and diabetes mellitus and were unaware of the association.

Conclusion

Patients with diabetes mellitus lack knowledge of the bidirectional association between periodontal disease and diabetes mellitus. In this regard, the study urged the need to implement European Federation of Periodontology and International Diabetes Federation guidelines effectively. Medical healthcare professionals and dentists should provide mutual care and should consider every patient as a shared responsibility.

Clinical significance

Early detection of the disease, timely referrals, and a collaborative approach will enhance patient care and improve the quality of life of individuals living with periodontal disease.

Published: February 2021

Drug-induced encephalopathy is a well-known side effect of many drugs. Isoniazid (INH), a first-line drug used in the treatment of tuberculosis, can cause encephalopathy in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients though other isoniazid-related neurotoxicities are more commonly encountered in general population. We report isoniazid-induced encephalopathy in a female patient with CKD. She has been given rifampicin, INH, pyrazinamide, and ethambutol with pyridoxine and prednisolone for the treatment of Pott's disease of cervical spine. The patient developed recurrent episodes of altered consciousness following the treatment. After exclusion of other causes, isoniazid-induced encephalopathy was suspected, which was further proved by symptomatic improvement after stopping isoniazid.
