Authors: Younesi Baneh Payam , Kebriyaei Elaahe , Mahboubi Shiva
Published: January 2025

Background: Due to severe coronal destruction, endodontically treated teeth (ETT) often require intracanal posts to provide retention for the restorative material. This study aimed to evaluate the opinions and practices of Iranian dentists regarding the selection of intracanal posts for ETT reconstruction. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted among dentists in Kurdistan province, a region of west of Iran,, who have experience in performing ETT reconstruction. A questionnaire was designed, comprising two parts: the first part collected demographic information. The second part assessed the criteria for selecting post systems for ETT, including 12 questions that inquired about the placement of intracanal posts, indications for post placement, post material preferences, post length and diameter, and fabrication methods. Collected data were coded and analyzed using SPSS version 20 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, USA). Results: Totally, 96.6% of the participants used posts for ETT. They believed that not all ETT require a post. Also, 53.8% believed that posts do not reinforce ETT; 83.8% mentioned the remaining tooth structure to be the main criterion in choosing between prefabricated and cast posts and cores. Cast posts and cores were used in 62.4% of anterior and 56.4% of posterior teeth. Prefabricated metal posts were used by 68.3% of dentists. Also, 51.3% used base metal alloys for the cast posts and cores; 44.4% stated that at least 4 mm of gutta-percha must remain at the apex, and 45.3% stated that the post diameter should be one-third of the root diameter. Conclusion: The study found that Iranian dentists have varying opinions and practices regarding the selection of intracanal posts for endodontically treated teeth reconstruction, with a preference for cast posts and cores and base metal alloys, and consideration of remaining tooth structure as the main criterion for post selection.

Published: January 2025

Background: One of the most common injuries in the jaw and face area is cleft lip and palate, which causes an increase in the size, shape and time of formation and growth of teeth. Early detection of the number of missing teeth and paying attention to the size, shape and number of the remaining teeth is one of the goals of this study. Materials and Methods: The present study investigated the issue by reviewing 45 articles with keywords including “Supernumerary teeth”, “Cleft lip”, “Palate”, “Orthopantomo graphic” and “Hospital Infection” in 2012 to 2024. Results: The most common abnormality was hypoxemia, followed by malocclusion and hyperemia. The most cases of hypoxemia were observed in bilateral cleft lip and palate, and the lowest cases were found in single cleft lip. Many problems that arise in the mouth and teeth can be solved by observing health and care tips and also by teaching children how to brush their teeth correctly, but one of the things that is necessary and necessary for children’s health is regular and periodic dental visits. In these visits, many oral and dental problems are revealed and they can be solved before more problems occur and high dental costs can be avoided. One of the problems of extra teeth in children is that if it is identified in the early stages, it can be treated and damage to other teeth can be prevented. Conclusion: Extra teeth may cause delayed growth or non-growth of adjacent teeth. In addition, excessive retention of baby teeth, deformation of the roots of adjacent permanent teeth, displacement of teeth, creation of an unnatural distance between teeth, root erosion of adjacent teeth, or the formation of cysts around extra teeth can be among the complications that occur in the presence of teeth. They encountered extra.

OBJECTIVE

Brainstem cavernous malformations (BSCMs) were once considered inoperable. Microsurgical resection now represents a valuable option for treating patients with hemorrhagic or symptomatic lesions. The aim of this study was to provide a practical guide for surgical planning by analyzing postoperative neurological and functional outcomes.

METHODS

The early- and long-term neurological (National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale [NIHSS] score) and functional (modified Rankin Scale [mRS] and Glasgow Outcome Scale [GOS] scores) outcomes of 32 patients who underwent surgery for hemorrhagic BSCM were reviewed. The three-step surgical planning was based on an anatomosurgical algorithm.

RESULTS

Nine lesions (28.1%) were located in the mesencephalon, 19 (59.4%) in the pons, and 4 (12.5%) in the medulla. A fronto-temporo-orbito-zygomatic approach was selected to reach anterior mesencephalic BSCMs (2, 6.3%). A retrosigmoid approach and its extended variant were selected for lateral mesencephalic (6, 18.8%), anterior (2, 6.3%) and lateral (13, 40.6%) pontine, and anterior (1, 3.1%) and lateral (1, 3.1%) medullary BSCMs. A supracerebellar infratentorial approach was selected for posterior mesencephalic BSCMs (1, 3.1%). A telovelar approach was selected for posterior pontine (4, 12.5%) and medullary (2, 6.3%) BSCMs. Total resection was achieved in 29 cases (90.6%), with a 12.5% rate of surgical complications. The NIHSS score progressively improved at both the early (5.16 ± 3.70 vs 4.63 ± 2.78, p = 0.446) and late (4.63 ± 2.78 vs 2.41 ± 2.39, p < 0.001) postoperative evaluations. Functional outcomes showed an initial deterioration followed by a long-term improvement (mRS score: 2.66 ± 1.07 vs 3.06 ± 1.11 vs 2.13 ± 1.29, GOS score: 3.78 ± 0.61 vs 3.59 ± 0.62 vs 4.19 ± 0.78). Time to surgery significantly correlated with early- and long-term NIHSS, mRS, and GOS scores, while the number of hemorrhages before surgery correlated with early- and long-term mRS and GOS scores.

CONCLUSIONS

Early surgery after the first bleed following systematic surgical planning may be considered as an effective option for managing hemorrhagic BSCMs with acceptable operative morbidity and relatively favorable early- and long-term neurological and functional outcomes.

OBJECTIVE

The aim of this study was to evaluate the association of neighborhood-level and individual-level measures of socioeconomic status with readmission, complication rates, and postoperative length of stay of patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) in the Deep South.

METHODS

The authors identified all patients undergoing surgical intervention for the treatment of CSM from November 2010 to February 2022 using Current Procedural Terminology and ICD-9/ICD-10 codes. Patient demographic, socioeconomic, perioperative, and postoperative data for each patient were collected via review of the electronic medical record. Patient addresses underwent geospatial analysis and were used to extract the Area of Deprivation Index (ADI). Patients with ADIs greater than 75 were considered highly deprived. Univariate comparison and multivariate logistic regressions were used to analyze the relationship between socioeconomic variables and outcomes of interest.

RESULTS

In total, 490 patients with CSM met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The median age at the time of surgery was 60 (IQR 54–68) years. The median ADI was 75 (IQR 57–90). On multivariate regression analysis, unemployment was found to predict readmission within 1 year of index surgery (OR 4.08, 95% CI 1.87–9.61; p < 0.001). Having high ADI (OR 0.53, 95% CI 0.29–0.94; p = 0.033) and being African American (OR 0.51, 95% CI 0.26–0.97; p = 0.043) were found to be independently protective of readmission. Unemployment was found to be an independent predictor of postoperative complications (OR 3.65, 95% CI 1.52–9.82; p = 0.006). On multivariate regression analysis, high ADI (OR 1.69, 95% CI 1.02–2.81; p = 0.042) and living in a skilled nursing facility/residential facility (OR 8.84, 95% CI 3.08–28.5, p < 0.001) were independent predictors of prolonged length of hospital stay postoperatively.

CONCLUSIONS

This is the first single-institution study investigating the influence of neighborhood-level and employment status on readmission, complications, and lengths of stay in patients with CSM in the Deep South. Neighborhood-level measures of socioeconomic status play complex and unique roles in CSM patient outcomes in the Deep South, highlighting the Deep South as a potentially unique geographic region in terms of neurosurgical outcomes. Further research is needed to evaluate methods of alleviating these disparities and improve patient outcomes.

Authors: Baral Mandakini , Patnaik Padmaja , Das Dipan Kumar , Nayak Santanu Kumar
Published: January 2025

Spin-polarized simulations were conducted to investigate the structural, electrical, magnetic, and optical characteristics of transition metal doped SnO2 at the Sn-site, employing density functional theory. Utilizing the GGA+U scheme, the band gap obtained for SnO2 is in better agreement with the experimental value. The formation energy calculated for the doped systems varied with the atomic number of the dopants, with the lowest energy observed for Mn-doping, indicating its better stability. Doping led to a decrease in the band gap, potentially enhancing electrical performance, a phenomenon supported by both band structure and DOS plots. Ferromagnetism was observed for all dopants except Ti, with Mn-doping exhibiting the highest magnetic moment of 5.606 MB. The shifting of Fermi level (Ef) of Sc, V, Cr, and Mn-doped systems indicates n-type conductivity. This suggests that Sc-, V-, Cr-, and Mn-doped SnO2 systems are well-suited for perovskite solar cells, as the combination of charge between the light-absorbing layer and electron transport layer is significantly reduced under n-type conductivity.

Published: January 2025

Methylococcus capsulatus MIR is a strain of methanotrophic bacteria that is potentially suitable for producing feed protein and other value-added products from methane. Genomic analysis did not reveal in Mc. capsulatus MIR known pathways of C3-carboxylation, necessary for the replenishment of intermediates of the tricarboxylic acid cycle and the full functioning of metabolism. The pepc gene encoding PEP carboxylase in Methylomonas rapida 12 was introduced into Mc. capsulatus MIR cells on a plasmid under the control of a medium-strength promoter. Expression of heterologous PEP carboxylase led to an increase in the content of glutamate, glycine and lysine in the cells of the recombinant strain, but did not increase to the growth rate of the culture. Consequently, the introduction of heterologous PEP carboxylase, which carries out the C3-carboxylation reaction, helps to increase the nutritional value of the methanotroph biomass.

Published: January 2025

The electroanalytical characteristics of double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) and the complex of dsDNA with the anticancer drug metabolite, abiraterone D4A, in the concentration range of 25–200 μM were investigated using differential pulse voltammetry. The effect of D4A on dsDNA was detected by changes in the intensity of the electrochemical oxidation of the heterocyclic bases guanine, adenine, and thymine. This investigation used screen-printed electrodes modified with carbon nanotubes. Binding constants (Kb) for guanine, adenine, and thymine in the dsDNA/D4A complexes were calculated to be 1.1 × 104, 5.5 × 103, and 2.5 × 103 M–1, respectively. The DNA-mediated electrochemical coefficients of the toxic effect were calculated as the ratio of the signal intensities of guanine and adenine in the presence of D4A compared to those without the drug (T, %). Based on an analysis of electrochemical parameters and binding constant values, an assumption was made regarding the mechanism of the interaction between D4A and DNA, predominantly through electrostatic interactions and the formation of hydrogen bonds with the minor groove. Conclusions about the mechanism of the interaction of the abiraterone D4A metabolite with the dsDNA minor groove, obtained by electrochemical methods, were supported by the molecular simulation of the DNA/D4A complex.

Published: January 2025

The article focuses on determining the possible regions of origin of wool fiber in Bronze Age Alakul textiles from the Southern Trans-Urals (first half of the 2nd millennium BC). The main method is the analysis of ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr isotope ratios. The comparison was made for values of 12 textile samples from the Stepnoye VII, Alakul and Agapovka II burial grounds with those on interpolated background maps of bioavailable strontium and for other archaeobiological materials of these microregions. It was found that 5 out of 12 examined textile samples have an isotopic signal that differs from the local intervals in the vicinity of the necropolises within a radius of 10–15 km. This indicates the existence of metabolic processes that could be associated both with the import of animals with fleece suitable for spinning, and with the movements of textiles and the owners of the costume themselves.

Published: January 2025

Wind energy can be harnessed for various commercial and transportation-related applications. This study assessed experimentally the potential of capturing wind energy from the passage of vehicles for electric power generation. Both wind tunnel experiments and field tests were performed. The wind tunnel experiments were performed in an open-circuit low-speed wind tunnel at a free-stream mean velocity of 23 m/s. Five PVC pipes placed adjacent to the wind-blowing domain were used to simulate the columns under a freeway overpass. A scaled Ahmad body (simplified car body model) was used as the vehicle. The spanwise distance between the Ahmad body and the tubes was 0.75 W where W is the width of the vehicle. The middle tube was used as a reference tube for circumferential and vertical pressure measurements. The streamwise locations of the vehicle were according to our previous transient numerical simulations as the vehicle approached and passed the columns at 0.1–0.5 sec. Results showed a significant potential of the transient wind generated from passing vehicles and identified optimized locations for harnessing this wind for electric power generation. Field tests were performed using a moving scaled Ahmad body. The vehicle speed was approximately 22 miles/hr (10 m/s.). Wind measurements were made up to 0.75 W adjacent to a vertical wall with static and total pressure taps. Results verified the corresponding wind tunnel results and showed a maximum transient wind of 10 m/s from the passing of the vehicle. These results were in agreement with our previous simulation results. The experiment results suggest great potential for harnessing the wind from vehicles to generate electric power, benefiting California's renewable energy goals.

This study investigates the combustion of a hydrogen-air mixture at low initial pressure in a closed chamber, focusing on thermal energy methods (TEM) used for processing thermoplastics. This study aims to develop and validate a numerical model capable of predicting critical combustion parameters, specifically, the pressure and temperature distribution profiles over time, to ensure safe and efficient TEM processing. The tasks included constructing and validating the hydrogen-air combustion model using experimental data for high accuracy and applicability in TEM systems. The methods involved numerical simulation of the hydrogen-air mixture combustion in ANSYS Fluent using the GRI-Mech 3.0 mechanism, employing fourth-degree polynomial functions to define the thermodynamic properties of the species. Validation against previous experimental data yielded highly accurate results with peak pressure deviations of less than 3%. The following validation, the model was applied to simulate combustion in an industrial TEM chamber, which is representative of real operational conditions. Results showed consistent flame front development, including the formation of turbulent cellular structures, which are essential for achieving optimal temperature distribution and stability within the chamber. These insights allow for strategic part placement to maximize processing quality, which is especially important when using low-pressure hydrogen-air mixtures. In conclusion, the validated model emphasizes the potential of green hydrogen-based fuels as eco-friendly alternatives for energy-intensive industrial processes, thereby advancing climate-neutral manufacturing. Future work will expand on combustion studies using plastic parts in TEM chambers to improve processing precision and safety for broader adoption in sustainable thermoplastics manufacturing.

Las mujeres y la compra pública: una mirada al procedimiento de feria inclusiva
Authors: Singaucho Armas Thalía Carolina
Published: January 2025

Las compras públicas con enfoque de género se han constituido como una herramienta para contribuir a la reducción de brechas laborales y al empoderamiento económico de las mujeres, generando impactos positivos. En 2022, el órgano rector de la contratación pública ecuatoriana publicó el primer estudio con enfoque de género, revelando que las mujeres participan solo del 18,29% de los recursos adjudicados en el mercado público. Por ello, resulta indispensable analizar el único procedimiento que explícitamente incluía un elemento relacionado con la igualdad de género: la Feria Inclusiva. A través de la doctrina y complementándose con un análisis estadístico del período 2018-2021, esta investigación analiza la participación de las mujeres en el procedimiento de Feria Inclusiva y sus principales características ligadas a la igualdad de género como criterio de evaluación. Los principales hallazgos sugieren que las brechas de género respecto a cargos directivos, montos y volumen de contratos públicos son menores que la tendencia global de la compra pública ecuatoriana; sin embargo, no se debería a la aplicación del parámetro de igualdad de género, sino sería un efecto colateral de la reserva de mercado aplicada a las empresas más pequeñas del tejido empresarial. También se evidencia la reducida incidencia del parámetro de igualdad en la adjudicación de contratos.
La naturaleza en la teoría del derecho: De la teoría liberal y de los derechos humanos al derecho sistémico
Authors: Ávila Santamaría Ramiro
Published: January 2025

Ecuador ha sido pionero en reconocer constitucionalmente que la naturaleza tiene derechos. El desarrollo jurisprudencial ha sido lento. Una de las razones que explica la tardanza en la aplicación de derechos es la falta de una teoría jurídica pertinente. La teoría mayormente aceptada por la cultura jurídica es insuficiente. El positivismo jurídico privó al derecho de interrelacionarse con la moral, la filosofía, la física, la química y la biología. La naturaleza considerada sujeto puede ser expoliada y transada en el mercado como un bien cualquiera. Este paradigma debe cambiar. El derecho sistémico podría ser una corriente teórica que permita reconocer que el planeta Tierra, con todos sus ecosistemas y elementos, es un ser vivo.

Published: January 2025

The institutional significance of state policy for the effective development of the national economy to ensure ecological and economic growth has been determined, along with its synergistic relationship with the increase in waste volumes, which requires appropriate state measures to reduce
negative environmental impacts and maintain ecological balance.
The institutional capacity of the state in the field of agricultural waste management and the
search for alternative substitutes for natural resources is disclosed, along with the simultaneous
implementation of modern innovative technologies for the use of renewable energy sources.
The necessity of state regulation to determine effective ways to solve the problem of the formation, accumulation, processing, and disposal of agricultural production waste and to find mechanisms and opportunities to ensure ecological and economic security to achieve sustainable development goals has been substantiated. Two approaches to agricultural waste management are characterized: consolidated and dispersed.

Authors:   Oles Honchar Dnipro National University, Ivanov Kyrylo
Published: January 2025

The article is devoted to the analysis of theoretical and practical features of the quantitative
and qualitative assessment of the influence of the income of the population of Ukraine on migration
processes. Net migration in the country was considered as the main indicator of the state of migration processes in Ukraine, and the amount of available income per person and its separate component - the level of average wages - were chosen as factor indicators. The application of correlationregression analysis methods confirmed the high closeness of the correlation between the variables
of the constructed models, which indicates a direct and significant influence of the investigated population income indicators on the balance of migration in Ukraine. The obtained results are consistent with the results of research by other authors within the neoclassical theory. The proposed
methodology contributes to a better understanding of migration dynamics, the construction of forecasts, the development of migration strategies and policies, and the formation of economic behavior in crisis situations.
