Necrose nasal: quando e como tratar
Authors: Belini Renato , Brito João Amaury Francês
Published: December 2023

Devido ao custo reduzido, menor morbidade e segurança, os preenchedores dérmicos ganharam destaque nos últimos anos. O principal preenchedor usado hoje é o ácido hialurônico pela segurança de ser hidrolisado pela enzima hialuronidase, porém mesmo em mãos experientes ele pode causar danos irreversíveis como necrose nasal e perca da visão. Portanto, o profundo conhecimento da anatomia facial é de suma importância para os profissionais que se aventuram nessa área. Esta revisão tem como objetivo alertar o clínico quanto à necrose nasal mostrando como reconhecê-la e qual a melhor maneira de atuar frente a esta complicação. Para isso, recuperou-se 31 artigos sobre o tema na PubMed e 38 na Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde, entre os anos de 2015 e 2020. Após análise minuciosa e exclusão de duplicatas 25 artigos atenderam ao propósito desta pesquisa. Concluímos que o preenchimento com ácido hialurônico é seguro, porém o profissional deve conhecer profundamente a anatomia da área tratada e ter pleno conhecimento de como e quando utilizar a hialuronidase pra hidrolisar o preenchedor, uma vez que esta foi a mais indicada para o tratamento da necrose nasal, após procedimentos com o uso de ácido hialurônico no nariz.

Published: December 2023

Um dos procedimentos estéticos mais procurados na área de harmonização orofacial é a redução da gordura submentoniana (queixo e pescoço). Um tratamento não invasivo muito utilizado nesses casos é o uso do ATX-101 (ácido desoxicólico). Assim o objetivo desta revisão é abordar sobre o uso do ATX-101 na gordura submentoniana. Para isso, realizou-se um levantamento sobre o tema, por meio de artigos indexados na base de dados científicos PubMed nos últimos cinco anos, selecionando um total de 21 artigos que atendiam ao propósito desta revisão. Concluiu-se que o uso do ácido desoxicólico representa um método não cirúrgico inovador para tratar a gordura indesejada da área submentoniana, porém requer conhecimento pleno da anatomia facial para a aplicação. A literatura relatou os seguintes efeitos adversos locais mais comuns no uso da droga: edema, hematoma dor, dormência, eritema, parestesia e endurecimento da região.

A agenesia dos incisivos laterais superiores pode comprometer significativamente a estética do sorriso, o que motiva o paciente a procurar por tratamento ortodôntico. Frente à impossibilidade de reabilitação do espaço da agenesia com implantes em pacientes em crescimento, a correção do problema com fechamento dos espaços se faz bastante interessante. Apresentar as manobras técnicas ortodônticas para a abordagem da agenesia bilateral de incisivos laterais superiores permanentes por meio do fechamento dos espaços. A mecânica de fechamento dos espaços apresenta-se variada, conforme o tipo de má oclusão anteroposterior associada e, consequentemente, de ancoragem. Entretanto, os resultados desta abordagem se mostram estética e funcionalmente satisfatórios e estáveis. Ao planejar-se o tratamento das más oclusões associadas à agenesia bilateral de incisivos laterais superiores permanentes por meio do fechamento dos espaços o ortodontista deve considerar o biotipo gengival, características do tecido de suporte periodontal, nível de exigência estética e expectativa do paciente quanto ao tempo de tratamento, bem como a necessidade de diferentes sistemáticas de ancoragem, conforme à discrepância anteroposterior existente.

Prótese sobre implante: parafusada ou cimentada
Authors: Freitas Jhonatan Lopes
Published: December 2023

Com a previsibilidade e longevidade relacionadas à osseointegração, o tratamento com implantes dentários tornou-se uma realidade na clínica odontológica. Buscando uma reabilitação que procure associar os fatores estéticos e funcionais da melhor forma possível, muitos profissionais se questionam se as próteses implanto-suportadas parafusadas ou cimentadas têm vantagens umas sobre as outras. Neste contexto, o presente trabalho teve como objetivo revisar a literatura sobre esses dois sistemas de retenção da prótese sobre implante: cimentada e parafusada, tecendo comparações entre os dois tipos. Pode-se concluir que a escolha entre a restauração sobre prótese implantossuportada parafusada e a restauração sobre prótese implantossuportada cimentada pode ser interesse pessoal do profissional ou do paciente ou, ainda, por situações clínicas específicas, pois ambos os modelos apresentam vantagens, desvantagens, indicações e contraindicações que devem ser conhecidas e levadas em consideração para o sucesso do tratamento de cada caso em particular.
Next-Generation Sequencing of Microbial Cell-Free DNA to Rapidly Detect Fluoribacter Bozemanae Pneumonia in an Immunocompromised Host
Authors: Carlan SJ
Published: December 2023

Background: Fluoribacter bozemanae is an uncommon pathogen that accounts for just 3-5% of cases of pneumonia caused by the different Legionella species. The mortality rate has been reported to be up to 40%. This organism is difficult to identify, making diagnosis extremely challenging with current diagnostic modalities.

Case Report: We present a case of a 75-year-old female with a history of multiple myeloma undergoing active treatment with immunosuppressive agents who presented with confusion, hypoxemic respiratory failure and sepsis. Her initial presentation was consistent with Legionella infection, however, all routine testing including a Legionella urine antigen test came back negative. A CT scan of the chest was completed which showed near complete left lower lobe consolidation concerning for pneumonia. An infectious workup was initiated. Atypical and viral pneumonia polymerase chain reaction panel was negative. Microbial cell-free DNA sequencing returned positive for Fluoribacter bozemanae, a subspecies of the Legionellaceae family that is known to cause severe pneumonia in immunocompromised hosts. This information allowed a therapy adjustment resulting in rapid improvement of our patient’s symptoms.

Conclusion: In cases such as this one, the diagnosis of Legionella species is often missed due to the many challenges associated with the different testing modalities. In these circumstances, next-generation genetic sequencing can be extremely useful. Now with the increasing availability of next-generation sequencing as a microbiological diagnostic tool, we can diagnose many more infections that once would have gone undiagnosed and either untreated or delayed in treatment.

The Cement Treated Base Class B is a layer of pavement located between the lower base layer and the surface layer. This pavement layer uses fine aggregate materials (sand), palm kernel ash, and cement as its binding materials. The palm kernel ash is the main solid waste product from boiler combustion and can be utilized as a sand composition reducer in concrete production due to its chemical properties, which are nearly similar to cement. This research aims to determine the characteristics of the base mixture by utilizing palm kernel ash when combined in the Cement Treated Base Class B mixture for flexible pavement. With the specified composition, it is expected that when compression strength testing is conducted, the obtained compression strength values will meet the specified specifications. After testing, it was found that the Cempaka sand type is more effective and economical to use because its compression strength value almost meets the specified range of 35 kg/cm2 to 45 kg/cm2, which means it falls within the standard compression strength specification.

Detection of Toxic Gases Using Flexible Metamaterial Absorber at Terahertz Frequencies
Authors: ALTINTAŞ Olcay , TETİK Erkan
Published: December 2023

The development of technology implies the release of several gases to the environment. These gases, especially toxic ones, have many negative effects on human life and cause many diseases that will adversely affect human health. In this respect, effective and accurate identification of these gases are important in terms of preventing possible damages. In this study, a sensor design that can detect toxic gases using a metamaterial structure operating in the gigahertz frequency range is presented. Metamaterials not found in nature are defined as artificial or synthetic structures and can be used in many applications, including sensors, thanks to their negative index of refraction. Here a metamaterial-based sensor application for the detection of the carbon monoxide, a toxic gas, is investigated. The sensor performance was analyzed by adding 50% and 100% toxic gas to the suggested metamaterial design, and 0.010 and 0.013 THz shifts were obtained in the resonance frequency, respectively. This shift indicates that this structure is a viable candidate in sensor applications for the carbon monoxide.

Authors: Njeru Margaret
Published: December 2023

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to discuss the neuroscience and neurobiology of alcohol and drug addiction. The study of neuroscience and neurobiology of alcohol and drug addiction will help to understand the relationship between addiction and brain functioning.

Methodology: The study utilized a systematic review of literature to study alcohol and drug addiction by identifying parts of the human brain responsible for addiction, stages of addiction, elements of addiction, and effects of different drugs on the brain. The main theories of addiction guiding the research were the Incentive-Sensitization theory and the Disease Theory.

Findings: The outcome from the paper showed addiction is a chronic illness that contributes to significant impairments in social function, health, and in lack of control over drug use. The three stages of addiction are intoxication/ binge, withdrawal, and anticipation. Also, it was found out basal ganglia, extended amygdala, and the prefrontal cortex are the main parts of the brain responsible for drug addiction.

Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The outcome from the paper has contributed towards advancing the knowledge of drug addiction by establishing evidence-based approaches for identifying the neurobiology and neuroscience of drug addiction. Findings can be utilized in developing policies and frameworks that guide the use of drugs, especially prescription drugs like opioids. Moreover, findings help in advancing the practice in medicine by recommending new pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments to prevent and control addiction.

Primary adrenal lymphoma

A primary adrenal lymphoma (PAL) is a very rare extranodal lymphoma with only about 400 cases described worldwide. PAL is a rapidly progressive disease. Since the advent of rituximab, there is an improvement in the prognosis, making it comparable to a classical diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL).

This article describes the medical history of a 62-year-old woman with a bilateral adrenal incidentaloma on a CT scan. She complained of vague symptoms such as nausea, vertigo and excessive sweating with minor weight loss. Additional testing revealed primary adrenal insufficiency, for which hydrocortisone and fludrocortisone substitution was started, significantly improving the patient’s symptoms. A right adrenalectomy demonstrated the presence of a DLBCL and staging with an FDG-PET-CT scan showed no additional lesions. As the adrenals were the only location of the disease, the diagnosis of PAL could be made.

A Morinda citrifolia é uma pequena árvore da família Rubiaceae e seus frutos são conhecidos popularmente como noni. Ela agrega cerca de 200 substâncias fitoquímicas, tais como: flavonóides, cetonas, fenóis, glicosídeos, esteróis, taninos, entre outros. Essas propriedades bioativas acrescem ao fruto da planta atividade antioxidante, antimicrobiana, anti-inflamatória, analgésica e que evitam o crescimento de células pré-cancerígenas. No mercado o fruto é comercializado in natura e também como forma de pó, óleos e extrato hidroalcoólico, também conhecido como extrato tintorial ou elixir. O presente trabalho analisou a qualidade microbiológica e a atividade antibacteriana de três elixires a base de noni comercializados em três casas de produtos naturais em uma cidade do Sudoeste baiano. Para isso, foi realizada a identificação de possíveis contaminantes nas amostras utilizando meios seletivos e diferencias e provas bioquímicas. Entre aquelas em que não houve crescimento, foi realizado o antibiograma por disco difusão e a Determinação da Concentração Inibitória Mínima (CIM) e Concentração Bactericida Mínima (CBM) por microdiluição contra cepas de Staphylococcus aureus e Escherichia coli. Foi verificada a presença de Lactobacillus sp. em uma das amostras. Foi verificado que a concentração inibitória mínima dos elixires é maior do que 52,6 µL/mL. Conclui-se que são necessárias regulamentações acerca do controle de qualidade desses produtos, assim como aprimoramento nas informações contidas nos rótulos dos elixires.

Purpose: The main objective of this study was to explore the influence of Online Travel Agencies (OTAs) on hotel revenue and distribution strategies.

Methodology: The study adopted a desktop research methodology. Desk research refers to secondary data or that which can be collected without fieldwork. Desk research is basically involved in collecting data from existing resources hence it is often considered a low cost technique as compared to field research, as the main cost is involved in executive’s time, telephone charges and directories. Thus, the study relied on already published studies, reports and statistics. This secondary data was easily accessed through the online journals and library.

Findings: The findings revealed that there exists a contextual and methodological gap relating to the influence of Online Travel Agencies (OTAs) on hotel revenue and distribution strategies. Preliminary empirical review revealed that as the digital landscape continues to evolve, hotels must adapt their strategies to harness the benefits of OTAs while effectively managing the challenges. The findings of this research will benefit hoteliers, industry regulators, policymakers, and researchers by providing valuable insights into navigating the evolving landscape of hotel distribution and revenue management in the digital age.

Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The Agency theory, Transaction Cost theory and the Resource Based View (RBV) theory may be used to anchor future studies relating to Online Travel Agencies (OTA). The study recommended diversification of distribution channels, negotiation of favorable contracts with OTAs, leveraging guest data for personalization, investing in direct booking campaigns and monitoring and adaption to market trends.

Findings: The findings revealed that there exists a contextual and methodological gap relating to the impact of online reviews on hotel performance. Preliminary empirical review revealed that online reviews serve as a potent mechanism through which potential guests gather information, make booking decisions, and form perceptions about hotels. These findings underscore the need for hotels to adopt a proactive approach to online reputation management, engage with guest feedback, and leverage online reviews as a strategic tool for improving their performance in an increasingly competitive hospitality industry. As travelers continue to rely on online reviews to guide their choices, the role of online feedback in shaping the success and sustainability of hotels is likely to remain a critical area of study and strategic focus in the years to come.

Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The Social Influence theory, the Information Asymmetry theory and the Expectancy Disconfirmation Theory may be used to anchor future studies on hotel performance. The study recommended for active reputation management, credible review sources, leverage positive reviews, sentiment analysis tools, tailored management responses, long term reputation building amongst others. These recommendations aim to help hotels harness the positive influence of online reviews on their performance while actively managing and mitigating the potential negative impacts of unfavorable feedback. By adopting a proactive and guest-centric approach to online reputation management, hotels can optimize their performance in the competitive hospitality industry.

YIELD OF CHAMOMILE MEDICINAL DEPENDING ON SOWING DATE AND FERTILIZING IN TERMS OF CLIMATE CHANGE
Authors: Moisiienko Vira , Nazarchyk O.
Published: December 2023

On the market of medicinal plants of Ukraine there is a deficiency of chamomile. Increasing its production and obtaining profits from the sale of medicinal raw materials is possible through the use of new breeding practices and adaptive technologies for growing this crop in the context of global climate change. The conducted scientific researches in different regions of our country and abroad show that the yield of chamomile and the content of biologically active substances in it depend on genetic features of a variety, type of soil, climatic factors, dates and methods of sowing, fertilization, etc. The purpose of our research was to establish the regularities of the formation of the Perlyna Lisostepu chamomile variety yield, depending on the elements of the technology of cultivation in the agroecological conditions of Pollyssya, where this question is not sufficiently studied. We have found that the autumn sowing of this culture has significantly higher yields than spring sowing. This is due to the fact that culture has a larger vegetation period, and therefore it is better to assimilate fertilizers in post-sowing period, and at the time of spring regrowth, it is rapidly increasing the weight and gaining superiority over weeds. The yield of raw mass of flowers varies from 0.7 to 1.4 t/ha depending on the fertilizer, and the dry mass, respectively, from 0.3 to 0.7 t/ha. The best weather conditions in the period of sowing and the formation of generative organs of chamomile plants were in 2018. During the autumn sowing season (September) there was more heat. The average monthly air temperature in April, May and June significantly exceeded the average multi-year norm. On average, over two years of research, the maximum yield of crude mass of chamomile flowers was 1.3 t/ha and dry mass of 0.65 t/ha was obtained with the addition of N16P16K16 (to the main fertilizer). Chamomile plants respond well to the N10 foliar feeding which provided 1.2 t/ha and 0.6 t/ha of raw material. During spring sowing, the yield was in the range of 0.5-1.1 t/ha of raw mass and, respectively, 0.2-0.6 t/ha of dry mass of flowers. Fertilized options were not inferior to each other in yield of medicinal raw material. Application of fertilizers according to the experimental scheme increased the yield of finished medicinal raw materials by 0,1-0,3 t/ha

During growing medicinal plants, the main condition is the correct selection of agricultural technology, because these plants require the correctness and accuracy of actions in the cultivation process. Nowadays, medicinal plants are becoming more relevant among Ukrainian agricultural producers, as sustainable profits can be obtained from the sale of medicinal raw materials. The aim of our research was to develop and improve the elements of technology for growing chamomile medicinal (Matricaria recutita L.) in the Pollyssya region of Ukraine. To establish the effect of changing the period of vegetation of the crop by sowing the plants at different sowing periods on the extension of flowering period. For these studies used a variety of chamomile medicinal Pearl Forest-steppe. We have established that the flowering period depends essentially on the sowing period, namely on the duration of the growing season. For the autumn sowing and sowing rate of 5 kg/ha, we obtained an average plant density of 710 pcs/m2 , a plant growing season of 220 days and a long flowering period of up to 20 days. And with spring sowing the same norm – the density of plants was much lower – 640 pcs/m2 , the growing season lasted 90 days, flowering period reached only 14 days. In terms of productivity, the autumn sowing period showed the highest yields of both the raw mass of inflorescences and the air-dry, respectively. The yield of the crude mass of autumn sowing ranges from 1.1 to 1.3 t/ha and the dry weight, respectively, from 0.5 to 0.7 t/ha. As for spring sowing, the yield was slightly lower than the previous one, as the flowering period and the growing season of the plants were generally shorter. In the future it is planned to carry out more research on the impact of agrotechnical measures on the yield of medicinal chamomile in the conditions of the Pollissya zone, where this issue has not been sufficiently studied
