Authors: Adu Richard A. , Shenge Nyitor A.
Published: October 2023

The study investigated the influence of organizational culture, self-esteem, self-efficacy and self regulation on indulgence in procrastination. It utilized a correlational survey design involving two hundred and forty two sampled male (114) and female (128) civil servants in Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria. Data were collected from the sample using five scales. All the scales were re-validated. Four hypotheses were tested. The results of correlation analyses showed both age and marital status had significant negative relationship with procrastination Likewise, significant negative relationship existed between marital status and indulgence in procrastination and between work experience and indulgence in procrastination. Further, the results of multiple regression analysis revealed that organizational culture, self-esteem, self-efficacy and self-regulation Jointly predicted indulgence ill procrastination- and that only self-esteem independently predicted procrastination. The results of analyses of variance showed that both self-esteem and self-regulation had significant independent main effect on indulgence in procrastination. The t-test analysis result indicated that organizational culture had significant influence on indulgence in procrastination. The findings imply that organizational culture, self-esteem, self-efficacy, and self-regulation are significant predictors of indulgence ill procrastinating behaviour among civil servants in Oyo state. The paper recommends that employers of labour should take cognizance of these predictors in their intervention programs to boost employees’ productivity and reduce indulgence in procrastination.

Published: October 2023

The human body's largest and most defensive organ is its skin. It covers internal organs and shields the human body from extraneous substances outside of it. Numerous illnesses can harm a person's skin caused by microbes such as bacteria, fungi, and viruses; for example, MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) infection, Herpes zoster, Acne vulgaris, warts, eczema, psoriasis, and the fifth disease. It can also be damaged by carcinogenic and tumor-inducing agents, leading to skin cancer such as melanoma, which is more fatal and life-threatening to human life. Skin diseases can be diagnosed by blood tests, tissue sample collection (biopsy), and skin examination by dermatologists and experts. If non-expert doctors or laboratory technicians examine the skin, it can lead to medical errors and misdiagnosis. A proper and precise diagnosis and detection are required to treat the specific disease. This research aims to detect dermal diseases through sample images and classify and identify the cause of disease with greater accuracy and precision in a time- and cost-efficient way. This research uses medical processing algorithms such as pre-processing and segmentation of the diseased image and image classification algorithms such as deep learning, part of a neural network, to classify the diseased medical images.

Este artigo tem como objetivo comparar casos de coinfecção entre Tuberculose e HIV na região Norte do Brasil, durante o período pré-pandêmico (2017 a 2019) e período pós Pandêmico (2020 a 2022). Trata-se de um estudo epidemiológico do tipo ecológico de análise temporal com dados obtidos em setembro de 2023 no Departamento de Informática do Sistema Único de Saúde (DATASUS) e originárias do Sistema de Informação de Agravo de Notificação (SINAN). Foi evidenciado a partir das análises dos gráficos um aumento na taxa de letalidade no ano de 2020 na região norte, não sendo acompanhado pelo aumento na incidência do coinfecção entre TB-HIV no mesmo período, além disso, ocorreu uma queda no percentual de infecções no triênio 2020-2023 nos estados do Amazonas e Pará, enquanto nos estados de Tocantins, Rondônia e Roraima o resultado foi um incremento nas taxas de coinfecção. Embora, ainda sejam necessários mais estudos para analisar a subnotificação dos casos durante a pandemia, infere-se que a pandemia do covid-19 contribuiu para a discrepância na incidência dos novos casos ou notificação dos existentes nos diferentes estados do norte do país.

Resumen
Exploring the Feasibility and Effectiveness of Phytoremediation for Environmental Restoration: A Review
Authors: Zakaria Mohd Zuhairi , Azid Azman , Samsudin Mohd Saiful , Ku Yusof Ku Mohd Kaulkausar
Published: October 2023

The debate on the applicability, cost-effectiveness, and efficiency of phytoremediation as a plant-based treatment to clean the environment is intensifying. Phytoremediation is the application of plants, microbes, nutrients, and/or agronomic techniques to soil, sediment, and water resources to contain or neutralize contaminants. Phytoremediation serves multiple goals, including soil stabilization, erosion control, and enhancement of wildlife habitat. Plants can absorb, translocate, transform, and immobilize hazardous metals, thereby lowering their toxicity and environmental concentration. This process is widely used in industry nowadays due to being both cost-effective and ecologically friendly. However, there is no denying that each process has its own pros and cons. There is no perfect process. Thus, this review aims to provide researchers of environmental science with a better understanding of the advantages and disadvantages of this method.
Safety of 2-day rush induction protocol in sublingual immunotherapy with Pru p 3
Authors: Silva Maria Inês T. , Paulino Marisa , Duarte Fátima Cabral , Pedro Elisa , Costa Célia
Published: October 2023

Aim: Allergy to lipid transfer proteins (LTPs) clinically manifests from oral allergy syndrome (OAS) to anaphylaxis. The risk of systemic symptoms and cross-reactivity make it an important target for allergen immunotherapy. Sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) with Pru p 3 is effective and safe, but the induction phase (IP) of standard protocol (SP) is time consuming. Rush protocols (RPs) are described without serious adverse effects. The aim was to compare the safety of RP with SP and assess the existence of predictive factors for adverse reactions (ARs).
Methods: Retrospective study of patients with LTP syndrome followed at the Food Allergy Unit undergoing SLIT with Pru p 3 between 2012 and 2021. SP has an IP of 4 days and an RP of 2 days. The safety of the IP was assessed by recording the AR.
Results: Fifty-one patients: 41 (73.2% women) in SP group (SPG) and 10 (80% women) in RP group (RPG). Anaphylaxis as a presentation of LTP syndrome was overlapping in both groups (SPG 34.1%, RPG 33.3%). There were 5 (12.2%) ARs in SPG: 3 (60%) OAS, 1 (20%) oropharyngeal tightness, and 1 (20%) uvula edema; and 5 (50%) ARs in RPG: 4 (80%) OAS and 1 (20%) palmar pruritus and cough. All patients completed IP. Mean Pru p 3 specific immunoglobulin E (sIgE) value (kUA/L) of patients with ARs in IP: 6.7 kUA/L in SPG and 5.7 kUA/L in RPG. No group showed significant differences (P > 0.05) between Pru p 3 sIgE value, presence of atopy or greater severity in LTP syndrome presentation, and greater probability of AR/more severe ARs in IP.
Conclusions: ARs in IP were similar in both groups. No association was found between Pru p 3 value, atopy and higher probability of ARs in IP. RP appears to be a safe and less expensive option.

The distribution of surface classes of resonant trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) provides constraints on the protoplanetesimal disk and giant planet migration. To better understand the surfaces of TNOs, the Colours of the Outer Solar System Origins Survey acquired multiband photometry of 102 TNOs and found that the surfaces of TNOs can be well described by two surface classifications: BrightIR and FaintIR. These classifications both include optically red members and are differentiated predominantly based on whether their near-infrared spectral slope is similar to their optical spectral slope. The vast majority of cold classical TNOs, with dynamically quiescent orbits, have the FaintIR surface classification, and we infer that TNOs in other dynamical classifications with FaintIR surfaces share a common origin with the cold classical TNOs. Comparison between the resonant populations and the possible parent populations of cold classical and dynamically excited TNOs reveal that the 3:2 has minimal contributions from the FaintIR class, which could be explained by the ν
8 secular resonance clearing the region near the 3:2 before any sweeping capture occurred. Conversely, the fraction of FaintIR objects in the 4:3 resonance, 2:1 resonance, and the resonances within the cold classical belt suggest that the FaintIR surface formed in the protoplanetary disk between ≳34.6 and ≲47 au, though the outer bound depends on the degree of resonance sweeping during migration. The presence and absence of the FaintIR surfaces in Neptune’s resonances provides critical constraints for the history of Neptune’s migration, the evolution of the ν
8, and the surface class distribution in the initial planetesimal disk.
Effects of Airless Bodies’ Regolith Structures and of the Solar Wind’s Properties on the Backscattered Energetic Neutral Atoms Flux

Published: October 2023

The surfaces of airless planetary bodies, such as the Moon or Mercury, are covered with regoliths, which interact with the solar wind. The solar protons can either be absorbed by the surface or neutralized and reflected as hydrogen energetic neutral atoms (ENAs). The ENA flux is thought to depend mostly on the structure of the upper regolith layer. By using a model combining a Monte Carlo approach to describe a solar proton’s journey through the lunar surface with molecular dynamics to characterize its interactions with the regolith’s grains, we highlight the surface roughness as a key parameter that influences the backscattered H ENA flux. By considering spherical silica grains, the lunar regolith’s structure is described using the open-source code Large-scale Atomic/Molecular Massively Parallel Simulator (or LAMMPS), which allows a realistic description of grain-on-grain contacts. The roughness of the modeled regolith, characterized by the roughness ratio, is shown to be dictated by the surface energy and the grain-size distribution. This work shows that a rougher surface favors deeper penetration of the protons inside the regolith, which increases the number of collisions and thus decreases their reflected fraction. The angular distribution of the backscattered H ENAs is influenced by both the surface roughness and the solar zenith angle. We show that the angular distribution of the backscattered ENAs is anisotropic and is influenced by the regolith’s structure, which is consistent with Chandrayaan-1 measurements. This work aims for a better understanding of the interactions ongoing at this interface and intends to look into the possibility of deducing information on the surface structure solely from ENA flux measurements. Highlighting the key structural parameters influencing the ENA backscattering will also help the development of models of surface-bounded exospheres.

« L’urbain par l’image ». Retour sur la fabrique d’un objet éditorial collectif
Authors: Cuny Cécile , Färber Alexa , Jarrigeon Anne
Published: October 2023

L’ouvrage collectif L’urbain par l’image, collaborations entre arts visuels et sciences sociales (Creaphis, mars 2020) ouvre la boite noire des pratiques de collaboration entre artistes, chercheuses et chercheurs. Il déplie leurs arrangements matériels, leurs temporalités, leurs objets, leurs techniques, leurs références et catégories. Sa maquette, délibérément expérimentale, a été réalisée avec un éditeur particulièrement attentif aux spécificités de chaque projet et à leur dimension visuelle. Nous revenons ici sur la fabrique de cet objet éditorial. Les choix esthétiques et de médiation qu’il active offrent une entrée privilégiée pour questionner les transformations du statut de l’image dans la recherche urbaine. Dans cet espace de pratiques, l’analyse des multiples articulations d’un travail collaboratif contextualisé permet de réinterroger les potentialités de l’image et ses actualisations.
La promesse de l’hologramme dans la médiation des savoirs

Published: October 2023

Cet article interroge la place de l’imagerie holographique dans des dispositifs de médiation innovants conçus à l’attention du grand public. Après une réflexion sur les logiques de création et de mise en médiation d’images hyperréalistes dans le cadre de programmes institutionnels de numérisation du patrimoine, nous proposons une analyse ethno-sémiotique de l’appropriation d’un dispositif holographique installé dans une médiathèque et permettant à des publics non spécialistes de visualiser des objets religieux précieux d’orfèvrerie médiévale appartenant à une collection muséale. D’un côté, nous considérons la manière dont les chercheurs et ingénieurs responsables de l’élaboration et l’amélioration du dispositif sont amenés à penser le rôle et la performativité de l’image dans la transmission des connaissances. De l’autre, nous mettons en avant la façon dont les médiateurs et les membres du public tentent de s’accommoder à l’équilibre entre les dimensions esthétique et cognitive de la mise en images et en médiation des objets du patrimoine.
Sublimations et deuil. Avatars de la trajectoire d’un processus
Authors: Pons-Nicolas Sylvie
Published: October 2023

L’auteur interroge la proposition de Laurent Danon-Boileau qui fait de l’élaboration de la castration un point déterminant pour différencier deux types de sublimations. Elle recherche les prémices de cette distinction dans les écrits théoriques de Freud et de certains auteurs post-freudiens comme Green et Duparc. Chemin faisant, la question du deuil de la perte, introduite par Freud dans « Éphémère destinée », l’amène à envisager la sublimation comme une consolation face à la « passagèreté » et l’incertitude. Ce qu’elle articule avec la perte de l’omnipotence, selon Winnicott. En appui sur la clinique présentée lors du colloque, elle aborde la fonction du public dans certaines sublimations artistiques « adressées », et propose qu’il y ait différents types de sublimations en fonction des avatars de la trajectoire du processus sublimatoire à l’œuvre dans la résolution du conflit œdipien. Ne s’agirait-il pas de distinguer entre des sublimations des pulsions partielles préœdipiennes et celles résolument post-œdipiennes, avec leur corollaire, la castration ?

D’où proviennent les émotions des enseignants en détention
Authors: Petiot Oriane , Le Yondre François
Published: October 2023

Le métier d’enseignant devient de plus en plus un travail émotionnel, en particulier dans des contextes impliquant des élèves à besoins éducatifs particuliers. En effet, les enseignants peuvent être confrontés à des moments à forte connotation émotionnelle suscitant un effort pour maitriser ses émotions. Cette recherche visait à analyser les inducteurs émotionnels issus de 133 incidents critiques racontés par des enseignants exerçant en détention via un questionnaire en ligne. Il s’agissait des moments les plus marquants de leur carrière en détention. Nous avons alors réalisé une analyse inductive de ces moments consistant à les catégoriser au regard des inducteurs émotionnels positifs et négatifs rapportés par les enseignants. Cinq catégories d’inducteurs positifs ont été mis en évidence : (1) Réussite/performance de détenus malgré leurs difficultés rencontrées  (2) Construction de relations positives dans le cadre de la classe  (3) Intérêt manifesté par les détenus pour le savoir et la culture  (4) Succès d’un évènement/exercice proposé par l’enseignant  (5) Constat de la « normalité  des détenus en classe malgré la détention. Les inducteurs émotionnels négatifs ont quant à eux été répartis en quatre catégories : (1) Manifestations de violence/perturbations de la part des détenus  (2) Irruption en classe des difficultés personnelles/des actes commis par des détenus  (3) Désintérêt pour le cours manifesté par des détenus  (4) Ambiance de la détention et/ou poids des règles pénitentiaires. Ces résultats sont discutés au regard des spécificités émotionnelles de l’enseignement en détention et de l’importance de reconnaitre les enjeux de leur travail émotionnel au sein des formations.

Objectives:

Recent advancement in understanding neurological disorders has revealed the involvement of dysbiosis of the gut microbiota in the pathophysiology of Parkinson’s disease (PD). We sequenced microbial DNA using fecal samples collected from PD cases and healthy controls (HCs) to evaluate the role of gut microbiota.

Methods:

Full-length bacterial 16S rRNA gene sequencing of fecal samples was performed using amplified polymerase chain reaction (PCR) products on the GridION Nanopore sequencer. Sequenced data were analyzed using web-based tools BugSeq and MicrobiomeAnalyst.

Results:

We found that certain bacterial families like Clostridia UCG 014, Cristensenellaceae, and Oscillospiraceae are higher in abundance, and Lachinospiracea, Coriobacteriaceae and genera associated with short-chain fatty acid production, Faecalibacterium, Fusicatenibacter, Roseburia and Blautia, are lower in abundance among PD cases when compared with the HC. Genus Akkermansia, Dialister, Bacteroides, and Lachnospiraceae NK4A136 group positively correlated with constipation in PD.

Conclusion:

Observations from this study support the other global research on the PD gut microbiome background and provide fresh insight into the gut microbial composition of PD patients from a south Indian population. We report a higher abundance of Clostridia UCG 014 group, previously not linked to PD.

Published: October 2023

The increasing importance of treatment of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), while avoiding side effects and maintaining sexual function, has allowed for the development of minimally invasive surgical therapies (MISTs). Recently, the European Association of Urology guidelines reported a paradigm shift from the management of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) to the management of nonneurogenic male LUTS. The aim of the present review was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the most commonly used MISTs: ablative techniques such as aquablation, prostatic artery embolization, water vapor energy, and transperineal prostate laser ablation, and nonablative techniques such as prostatic urethral lift and temporarily implanted nitinol device (iTIND). MISTs are becoming a new promise, even if clinical trials with longer follow-up are still lacking. Most of them are still under investigation and, to date, only a few options have been given as a recommendation for use. They cannot be considered as standard of care and are not suitable for all patients. Advantages and disadvantages should be underlined, without forgetting our objective: treatment of LUTS and re-treatment avoidance.
A Review of Laparoscopic Para-aortic Lymphadenectomy for Early-stage Endometrial Cancer: Extraperitoneal Approach May Have the Advantage over Intraperitoneal Approach
Authors: Imai Kazuaki , Hirooka-Nakama Junko , Hotta Yuichiro , Shigeta Hiroyuki
Published: October 2023

The importance of lymphadenectomy, including para-aortic nodes, for the accurate staging of endometrial cancer, is well established. Although the therapeutic role of lymph node resection in endometrial cancer is still under debate, some studies support its usefulness for survival benefit. To predict the necessity of lymphadenectomy, several preoperative scoring systems have been proposed as being effective. For endometrial cancer, there is a trend towards minimally invasive surgery, including para-aortic lymphadenectomy. For para-aortic lymphadenectomy, there are two different approaches: the extraperitoneal approach and the transperitoneal approach. The extraperitoneal approach has advantages over the transperitoneal approach in terms of better access to the left aortic nodes, no interference of the bowel, and possibly better options for obese or elderly patients. However, the extraperitoneal approach may have a longer learning curve than the transperitoneal approach. Robot-assisted extraperitoneal para-aortic lymphadenectomy is feasible and safe and may be suitable for patients irrespective of their baseline characteristics.
Choroidal metastasis with retinal detachment as the first presenting sign of lung carcinoma in a female
Authors: Bhirud Atul , Agrawal Mohini , Mishra Avinash , Singh Neha
Published: October 2023

It is very unusual for lung carcinoma to present primarily with ocular features before respiratory symptoms. A 30-year-old female, with sudden onset painless diminution of vision in left eye (LE) of 1-week duration, was diagnosed with choroidal metastasis and retinal detachment. On imaging, she had lesions at multiple sites like lung and brain. Histopathology showed adenocarcinoma lung, followed by positive immunohistochemistry (Napsin-A and TTF-1) confirming primary adenocarcinoma lung. We managed with external beam radiotherapy and chemotherapy, resulting in vision improvement at 3 months. Thus, this case highlights a rare presentation of choroidal metastasis as the first clinical sign of adenocarcinoma lung in a female with successful outcome.
Orbital fine needle aspiration cytology: An effective diagnostic tool for orbital mucormycocysis
Authors: Jha Tanvi , Agrawal Akanksha , Diwaker Preeti , Rohatgi Jolly , Arora Vinod Kumar
Published: October 2023

Primary orbital mucormycosis is rare and challenging to diagnose. We present a case of a 52-year-old diabetic COVID-19-recovered patient in whom orbital mucormycosis was missed on a preliminary computed tomography (CT) scan. The patient deteriorated with right-sided progressive visual loss and proptosis despite treatment. CT scan was reviewed and a mild collection was found in the right orbit prompting an intraorbital fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) that revealed fungal hyphae consistent with mucor. Thus, right eye exenteration was performed as a lifesaving procedure. FNAC is a quick and efficient method for diagnosis of fungal infection and may be applied for confirmation of suspected orbital mucormycosis.

Published: October 2023

A 35-year-old man with maternally inherited diabetes presented with blurring of vision in both eyes for 6 months. He previously received antituberculous therapy including ethambutol (EMB) for 2 years. Temporal disc pallor and central scotomas were noticed in both eyes. P100 latency was delayed in visual evoked potential bilaterally. In addition, an elevated blood lactate concentration was observed. Interestingly, although EMB's potential optic neuropathy toxicity was our first consideration, a m.3243A>G mutation of mitochondrial DNA was found in the blood. Herein, we reported a young patient carrying a novel Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy mutation who developed EMB-induced optic neuropathy.

Authors: Tabuse Aileen M , de Souza Carlos Eduardo , Lima Ana Luisa Hofling
Published: October 2023

To report a rare case of corneal perforation in reactive arthritis and review the scientific basis for it. A case report. A 22-year-old male patient presented with redness, foreign body sensation, and blurred vision associated with knee and lumbar arthritis after an episode of urethritis was diagnosed with reactive arthritis (ReA). Ophthalmological examination revealed keratitis and corneal perforation at the time of admission. The patient received antibiotic drops and systemic steroids and underwent a corneal patch graft, which improved his visual acuity and outcome; however, he developed chronic arthritis and had to be treated with infliximab. The classical ocular manifestations of ReA are conjunctivitis, anterior uveitis, keratitis, and scleritis; however, this case report demonstrates a rare but severe presentation of ReA that should be considered.

Authors: Shrivastava Ankur Kumar , Nanda Siddhartha , Ahirwar Manish Kumar
Published: October 2023

A 14-year-old male child presented to the ophthalmologist with complaints of floaters and headache. Ophthalmic examination revealed dilated and tortuous retinal veins, perivascular infiltrates scattered throughout the fundus, and multiple white centered hemorrhages (leukemic infiltrates). A provisional diagnosis of leukemia or lymphoma was made. The diagnosis was confirmed by further systemic workup and complete blood count. A final diagnosis of CML in chronic phase was made after bone marrow aspiration, biopsy, and presence of BCR-ABL translocation. This case report highlights the role of an ophthalmologist in diagnosing and prognosticating a rare entity of pediatric CML with ocular manifestation as its presenting symptoms.
Moniliform blepharosis in lipoid proteinosis: A rare case
Authors: Akkan Aydoğmuş Fatma Sema
Published: October 2023

Lipoid proteinosis (LP) is a rare multisystem disease characterized by the accumulation of amorphous hyaline-like materials in the skin, mucous membranes, and brain. The ocular finding is the presence of papular lesions on the eyelids, which is pathognomonic and is called moniliform blepharosis. Here, we present a 12-year-old case of LP, who could not be diagnosed despite the hoarseness of the voice and papillomatous lesions on the skin since the first year of her life and was diagnosed after ocular findings appeared.

Authors: Kaur Harleen , Moond Harshita , Sethi Neha K , Sharma Ridhima
Published: October 2023

Varicella-zoster virus is a common childhood viral exanthematous fever that is usually benign and self-limiting. Ocular complications of varicella have been rarely described. This report concerns an 8-year-old male child with a six-day history of a typical varicella rash and redness in both eyes. He had acute limbal nodules and anterior uveitis in both eyes. We treated him with topical dexamethasone for 2 weeks until the inflammation resolved without any sequelae. Thus, we present the first case of bilateral acute anterior uveitis with limbal nodules following chicken pox that showed a good response to treatment.

Published: October 2023

Imatinib mesylate, a BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase inhibitor, is widely used in the management of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Although there are a few studies documenting ocular side effects of imatinib, there have been no reports of uveitis caused by imatinib in the literature. We present a case of imatinib-induced uveitis, in which a young male with CML developed bilateral pan-uveitis and cystoid macular edema as a side effect of imatinib. The ocular adverse effects were completely resolved upon withdrawal of drug. To the best of our knowledge, this might be one of the first cases of such kind.

This is the first case report as per MEDLINE search to report this finding and intervention.
Case report of uniocular diplopia in a 26-year-old female: A diagnostic dilemma
Authors: Das Pushpita P , Shah Nagendra B , Patel Rasmikant C
Published: October 2023

A 26-year-old female had complaints of left eye monocular diplopia, blurred, wavy vision for 4 months and was diagnosed and managed as Dry eye syndrome outside. She did not improve clinically and presented to us. Routine ophthalmologic evaluations, including keratometry, slit lamp biomicroscopy, and fundoscopy, were done to rule out anterior and posterior segment etiologies. MRI brain and visual fields were done to rule out neurological causes. Provisional diagnosis of unilateral anisometropic amblyopia was made. On LASIK evaluation, she was found to have keratoconus suspect in corneal topography, and diagnosis of posterior keratoconus was confirmed with higher diagnostic tests like optical coherence tomography anterior segment and corneal tomography. She was managed with Cretan plus protocol. One must have a higher index of suspicion toward corneal ectatic disorders in this particular type of symptomatology of young patients.

Published: October 2023

Polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) was first described as subretinal polypoidal vascular lesions associated with serous and hemorrhagic pigment epithelial detachments. Macular telangiectasia (Mac Tel) refers to a heterogenous group of disease entities presenting with incompetence, ectasia, and/or irregular dilatations of the juxtafoveal capillary network of one or both the eyes. Here, we report a rare case presenting with features of PCV and Mac Tel-2 simultaneously. To the best of our knowledge, this is the second reported case to show this rare clinical association. This may point toward an unifying underlying pathophysiologic mechanism, especially in patients with Mac Tel and thick choroid.
Ayurvedic and herbal plaque control agents in gingivitis: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials

Published: October 2023

BACKGROUND:

Since the effectiveness of ayurvedic and herbal plaque control agents in reducing plaque in gingivitis is inconsistent across multiple trials, we conducted a study to evaluate their overall effect on dental plaque index (PI), gingival index, and bacterial colony counts (CC) of debris in gingivitis patients.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:

We searched major electronic biomedical databases (PubMed/Medline, CAM-QUEST®, EBSCOhost, Google Scholar, EMBASE, Scopus, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials) from August 2004 to August 2021 for randomized control trials on gingivitis using ayurvedic, herbal plaque control agents, and oil pulling therapy as interventions. We grouped comparable outcome parameters of similar products and estimated the standard mean difference (SMD) for pooled effect size with 95% confidence intervals (CI) using RevMan 5.4.1 software. Risk-of-bias (ROB) assessment followed the Cochrane Collaboration's recommended approach.

RESULTS:

We found 554 articles of 2,806 patients after searching of which 41 randomized clinical trials were considered for meta-analysis. Ayurvedic plaque control agents (Plaque index (PI): SMD = −0.52, 95% CI (−0.94, −0.11); CC: SMD = −1.70, 95% CI (−5.06, 1.67)), (Oil pulling therapy: PI: SMD = −0.38, 95% CI (−1.45, 0.68); CC: SMD = −1.04, 95% CI (−2.20, 0.11)), (Herbal plaque control agents: PI: SMD = −0.58, 95% CI (−1.55, 0.39)), (Triphala: PI: SMD = −0.65, 95% CI (−1.32, 0.03)) were found as good as control. Significant reduction in the gingival index and bacterial colony count was also seen.

CONCLUSIONS:

In addition to conventional dental care, ayurvedic and herbal plaque control agents may help in plaque reduction, gingival inflammation, and bacterial growth. They are safe and may be recommended in community dentistry practices.

Devastating pregnancy outcomes in the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic
Authors: Wardhana Manggala P. , Wijaya Maria C. , Rifdah Salsabila N. , Wafa Ifan A. , Ningrum Dahlia , Dachlan Erry G.
Published: October 2023

BACKGROUND:

This study analyzed pregnancy outcomes in postpartum women who were infected with COVID-19 during their pregnancy in resource-limited settings during the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:

This cross-sectional study included all pregnant women with COVID-19 at a tertiary referral hospital in Surabaya, Indonesia, from June to August 2021. Patients were classified according to clinical presentation into asymptomatic-mild, moderate, and severe-critical. Data regarding their basic maternal characteristics, clinical symptoms, delivery, and neonatal outcomes were collected and analyzed across these severity levels through ANOVA, Kruskal–Wallis, or Mann–Whitney U test by incorporating SPSS Statistics software version 29.0.

RESULTS:

During the second wave of COVID-19 in Indonesia, a total of 184 COVID-19 cases were reported, with high mortality rate (22%). Only 26.6% of these cases were asymptomatic-mild, and the remaining 73.4% had more severe conditions. The severe-critical group had significantly lower gestational age, slower onset of diseases/symptoms, and higher maternal death proportions than the other two groups (P < 0.001). Clinical symptoms, vital signs, and inflammatory markers (NLR, CRP, and procalcitonin) were also significantly worse in the severe-critical group than in the other groups (P < 0.05). Consequently, severe cases showed a higher cesarean section rate (P = 0.034), lower birth weight, lower Apgar score, higher incidence of perinatal deaths (P < 0.001), and higher incidence of neonatal support (P = 0.003).

CONCLUSIONS:

The study's findings specified the devastating consequences of second wave of COVID-19 in a resource-limited setting. Focus on improving the health system and health facilities' capacity is warranted to anticipate all possibilities of other pandemics in the future.
