Authors: Lum Andrew G. , Ogata Yumi , Pagni Sarah E. , Hur Yong
Published: February 2017

Background: Association between Schneiderian membrane thickness and membrane perforation is examined in lateral window sinus augmentation.

Methods: This retrospective study reviewed records of 551 patients who underwent lateral sinus augmentation at Tufts University School of Dental Medicine, Boston, Massachusetts, from June 1, 2006 to May 31, 2015. Preoperative cone‐beam computed tomography images were analyzed to evaluate possible association among membrane thickness, residual bone height, and membrane perforation. Data were evaluated using Mann–Whitney U test at P <0.05.

Results: Total 167 patients (95 males and 72 females) met the eligibility criteria and were included in the study. Among them, 47 patients had Schneiderian membrane perforation (perforation group). Mean membrane thickness was 0.84 ± 0.67 mm in the perforation group and 2.65 ± 4.02 mm in the non‐perforation group. There was a statistically significant difference in membrane thickness between groups (P <0.001). Mean residual ridge thickness was 2.78 ± 1.37 mm in the perforation group and 4.21 ± 2.09 mm in the non‐perforation group. There was a statistically significant difference in residual alveolar bone height (P <0.001).

Conclusions: Patients who experienced membrane perforation had a thinner membrane compared with patients without membrane perforation. Schneiderian membrane perforation was associated with decreased residual bone height.

Authors: Lee Seok‐Woo , Lim Hoi‐Jeong , Lee Euni
Published: February 2017

Background: The aim of this study is to examine the association between asthma and periodontitis in a representative sample of Korean adults from the Sixth Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) in 2014.

Methods: This study conducts a cross‐sectional evaluation using 2014 KNHANES data to describe the association between current asthma condition and chronic periodontitis while adjusting for sociodemographic characteristics and lifestyle factors. Presence of periodontitis is evaluated by community periodontal index defined by the World Health Organization, and current asthma condition is defined as “currently suffering from asthma condition.”

Results: The study population comprises a total of 5,976 patients aged 19 years and older, representing 40.7 million Koreans. A multivariable logistic regression analysis with weighted observations reveals patients with current asthma condition are ≈5 times more likely to be associated with periodontitis (adjusted odds ratio [OR]: 5.36; 95% confidence interval [95% CI]: 1.27 to 22.68). In addition, 83% of patients who regularly receive scheduled antiasthmatic medications are less likely to have a diagnosis of periodontitis than individuals who do not receive medication regularly (adjusted OR: 0.17; 95% CI: 0.05 to 0.57). However, the association is not significant if treatment with antiasthmatic medication is delivered on an “as‐needed” basis (adjusted OR:1.80; 95% CI: 0.87 to 3.74).

Conclusions: Findings from the current study show a positive association between periodontitis and current asthma condition. In addition, patients taking scheduled antiasthmatic medications are less likely to be diagnosed with periodontitis. Due to limitations of study design and available data from the national survey, well‐designed follow‐up studies are needed to confirm these findings.
The Portuguese Version of the European Deprivation Index: An Instrument to Study Health Inequalities
Authors: Ribeiro Ana Isabel , Mayer Alexandra , Miranda Ana , De Pina Maria de Fátima
Published: February 2017

Introduction: Tackling socioeconomic health inequalities is a big public health challenge and ecological deprivation indexes are essential instruments to monitor and understand them. In Portugal, no standard ecological deprivation index exists, contrasting with other countries. We aimed to describe the construction of the Portuguese version of a transnational deprivation index, European Deprivation Index.Material and Methods: The European Deprivation Index was developed under the Townsend theorization of deprivation. Using data from the European Union - Statistics on Income and Living Conditions Survey, we obtained an indicator of individual deprivation. This indicator became the gold-standard variable, based on what we selected the variables at aggregate level (census) to be included in the European Deprivation Index, a total of eight. The European Deprivation Index was produced for the smallest area unit possible (n = 16 094, mean/area = 643 inhabitants) and resulted from the weighted sum of the previous variables. It was then classified into quintiles.Results: The first quintile (least deprived) comprised 20.9% national population and the fifth quintile (most deprived) 18.0%. The European Deprivation Index showed a clear geographic pattern – most deprived areas concentrated in the South and in the inner North and Centre of the country, and the least deprived areas in the coastal areas of North and Centre and in the Algarve.Discussion: The development of the European Deprivation Index was grounded on a solid theoretical framework, individual and aggregate variables, and on a longitudinal Europe-wide survey allowing its replication over the time and in any European country.Conclusion: Hopefully, the European Deprivation Index will start being employed by those interested in better understand health inequalities not only in Portugal but across Europe.

Authors: Relvas-Silva Miguel , Silva Rui Almeida , Dinis-Ribeiro Mário
Published: February 2017

Introduction: Health-related quality of life assessment is increasingly important as it can help both clinical research and care for patients, particularly among oncological patients. Quality of Life Questionnaire – OES18 (esophageal module) and Quality of Life Questionnaire – OG25 (esophagogastric module) are the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer modules for the evaluation of quality of life in patients with esophageal and esophagogastric cancers, respectively. The aim of our study was to translate, to culturally adapt and to perform a pilot testing to create the Portuguese version of both questionnaires.Material and Methods: The European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer guidelines were followed for translation, cultural adaptation and pilot testing of Quality of Life Questionnaire – OES18 (esophageal module) and Quality of Life Questionnaire – OG25 (esophagogastric module). The Quality of Life Questionnaire – OG25 (esophagogastric module) went through a process of forward (English → Portuguese) and backward (Portuguese → English) translation, by independent native speaker translators. After review, a preliminary version was created to be pilot tested among Portuguese patients. As a Brazilian version was already available for Quality of Life Questionnaire – OES18 (esophageal module), the questionnaire was simply culturally adapted and pilot tested. Both cancer and non-cancer patients were included.Results: Overall, 30 patients completed the Portuguese version of each questionnaire. Afterwards, a structured interview was conducted to find and report any problematic items. Troublesome items and wording were changed according to the pilot testing results. The final versions were sent to the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Group and approved.Conclusion: The Portuguese versions of the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire – OES18 (esophageal module) and OG25 (esophagogastric module) questionnaires are useful, reliable and valid tools for measuring health-related quality of life in patients with esophageal and esophagogastric cancers, respectively. They can now be used in clinical setting and for scientific purposes.

Published: February 2017

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to analyze secular trends in anthropometrics and physical fitness of Portuguese children.Material and Methods: A group of 1819 students (881 boys and 938 girls) between 10 and 11 years old was assessed in their 5th and 6th scholar grade throughout a 20 years’ time-frame. ANCOVA models were used to analyze variations in anthropometrics (height, weight and body mass index) and physical fitness (sit and reach, curl-up, horizontal jump and sprint time) across four quinquennials (1993 - 1998; 1998 - 2003; 2003 - 2008; 2008 - 2013).Results: Secular trends showed the presence of heavier boys and girls with higher body mass index in the 5th and 6th grade throughout the last 20 years. There was also a presence of taller girls but just until the 3rd quinquennial. Both boys and girls were able to perform better on the core strength test and sprint time but become less flexible over the years. Mean jumping performance remained unchanged for both genders.Discussion: The present study provides novel data on anthropometrics and physical fitness trends over the last two decades in young Portuguese children, consistent with the results reported in other developed countries.Conclusion: Evidence for the start of a positive secular trend in body mass index and in some physical fitness components over the last two decades among the Portuguese youth.

Introduction: To evaluate the safety and impact on visual acuity, retinal and choroidal morphology of simultaneous cataract surgery and intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor on patients with visually significant cataracts and previously treated exudative age-related macular degeneration.Material and Methods: Prospective study, which included 21 eyes of 20 patients with exudative age-related macular degeneration submitted to simultaneous phacoemulsification and intravitreal ranibizumab or bevacizumab. The patients were followed for 12 months after surgery using a pro re nata strategy. Visual acuity, foveal and choroidal thickness changes were evaluated 1, 6 and 12 months post-operatively.Results: There was a statistically significant increase in mean visual acuity at one (13.4 letters, p < 0.05), six (11.5 letters, p < 0.05) and twelve months (11.3 letters, p < 0.05) without significant changes in retinal or choroidal morphology. At 12 months, 86% of eyes were able to maintain visual acuity improvement. There were no significant differences between the two anti-vascular endothelial growth factor drugs and no complications developed during follow-up.Discussion: Simultaneous phacoemulsification and intravitreal anti- vascular endothelial growth factor is safe and allows improvement in visual acuity in patients with visually significant cataracts and exudative age-related macular degeneration. Visual acuity gains were maintained with a pro re nata strategy showing that in this subset of patients, phacoemulsification may be beneficial.Conclusion: Cataract surgery and simultaneous anti-vascular endothelial growth factor therapy improves visual acuity in patients with exudative age-related macular degeneration.

Published: February 2017

Introduction: Motivated by the contracting nature of the Portuguese age pyramid, and thereby the ever increasing geriatric population, the aim of this study was to compare the number of European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System Credits dedicated to Geriatrics with Pediatrics in Portuguese Medical Schools.Material and Methods: An observational, descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted and included six Portuguese Medical Schools that have six years of training and a total of 360 credits. The study plans were obtained from the medical schools’ websites or requested. Schools were grouped in modular/classic teaching methodology and the courses were categorized in mandatory/optional and specific/related. The credits of Geriatrics and Pediatrics were compared.Results: Four schools had classical methodology and two had a modular one. Overall, they had more credits dedicated to Pediatrics than Geriatrics. Three schools offered mandatory courses specifically oriented to Geriatrics (1.5 - 8 credits) compared to all schools mandatory courses courses on Pediatrics (5.7 - 26.5 credits). The ratio of averages of mandatory specific courses (Pediatrics/Geriatrics) was 12.4 in the classical and 1.5 in the modular group.Discussion: Pediatrics teaching has revealed to be superior to Geriatrics in all categories. Based on our results, we consider the Portuguese Geriatrics’ undergraduate teaching sub-optimal.Conclusion: Nowadays, geriatric population is quantitatively similar to pediatric population. Efforts should be made to adequate Geriatrics teaching to our reality in order to provide a more adequate health care to this age group.

Abstract

Coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.) is an annual crop, limitedly cultivated in the high land areas. Based on the fruit shape the plant could be groped into three types: globularsmall, globular-big, and ovoid. There were 13 accession numbers of coriander collected from production area in Indonesia or other countries. They were varied in fruit shape and some of morphological characters. To analyze the relationship among the accession based on morphological character, the plant was planted at Manoko, Lembang (1200 m asl). Morphological characters were observed from 10 plant and based on the resulted data, analysis of genetic resemblance were carried out using average taxonomic distance of dissimilarity with NTSYSpc-2.1. Results showed that the accession of coriander can be classified into four groups. The first group only consist of introduced cultivar from Japan, the second group consist of coriander collected from Sungaitarap, Padanglawas, Sumbar, Sungayang, Madiun, Irak, Thailand, and Mesir, where each introduced cultivar made an exclusive sub group. The third group are cultivar collected from Jember and Cipanas, while the fourth groups are cultivar collected from Kadipekso and Temanggung. Collected cultivars from nearby areas tended to belong to the same group.

Abstract

The potencial study of kulim tree (Scorodocarpus borneensis Becc.) conducted at Gelawan Forest Complex, Kamper District, Riau in April 2001. Square plot of 1 x 1 km (100 ha) was used. Five systematically arranged strips of 1,000 x 20 m were used, where distance between strips was 200 m. Observation were done on seedling, sapling, pole, and tree within each strip. Results indicated that kulim stand was abnormal where more trees were found than number and that of the poles, sapling, and seedling. The stage percentageof tree, pole, sapling, and seedling were 41 (41.84%), (18.37%), 14 (14.28%), and 25 (25.51%), respectively. The potencial kulim log with the diameter 20 cm were 367.287.04 m3 while those of 50 cm were 186.344,16 m3. The use of kulim wood in Kampar District for ship industry and house construction was 23.366 m3/year. This indicated that kulim wood of 50 cm in diameter would be enought for only 8 years to come. Factor affecting the availability of kulim wood were human, over exploitation, no regeneration, physiology forest conversion, and insect pest.

Kajian potensi pohon kulim (Scorodocarpus borneensis Becc.) di kelompok hutan Gelawan, Kabupaten Kampar, Riau, dilakukan pada bulan April 2001. Pengkajian menggunakan satuan contoh berbentuk bujur sangkar dengan ukuran 1 x 1 km (100 ha). Di dalam plot bujur sangkar dibuat lima jalur ukur yang diletakkan secara sistematis dengan jarak antarjalur 200 m, lebar jalur 20 m, panjang 1.000 m, dan pada jalur ini dilakukan pengukuran terhadap semai, pancang, tiang, dan pohon. Jumlah satuan contoh terdiri atas tiga plot. Hasil pengkajian menunjukkan bahwa struktur tegakan kayu kulim sudah tidak normal, hal ini ditunjukkan oleh jumlah pohon yang lebih banyak daripada permudaan. Dari hasil analisis vegetasi diketahui jumlah tegakan kulim di seluruh jalur ukur adalah tingkat pohon 42%, tiang 18%, pancang 14%, dan tingkat semai 26%. Potensi kayu kulim yang berdiameter >20 cm adalah 367.287 m3, sedangkan yang berdiameter >50 cm adalah 186.344 m3. Penggunaan kayu kulim di Kabupaten Kampar untuk keperluan industri perkapalan dan bangunan mencapai 23.366 m3/tahun. Dengan demikian, kayu kulim yang berdiameter >50 cm di hutan alam hanya mampu bertahan sampai 8 tahun. Penyebab kelangkaan kayu kulim di Kabupaten Kampar adalah faktor manusia berupa eksploitasi yang berlebihan tanpa diimbangi dengan regenerasi, selain itu juga faktor fisiologi, konversi hutan, dan banyaknya hama yang merusak/memakan buah kulim.

Purwoceng was a commercial medicinal plant that could be used as aphrodisiac, diuretic, and body fit enhancer. The plant was indigenous of Indonesia that grew endemically at Dieng Plateau in Central Java, Pangrango Mountain in West Java, and mountaineos area in East Java. Recently the population was getting rare because of high genetic erosion. Based on the erosion level, the purwoceng was categorized as endangered species. In order to prevent from extinction, the conservation has to be done. The efforts of conservation could be conducted together with the efforts of its utilization optimally and sustainably. So far there were not many researches on purwoceng. Several aspects that had been reported were on agronomy, in vitro culture, phytochemistry, and pharmacology. However, the results of those researches had not been optimal and satisfying. Breeding research had not even been reported. This condition opened large opportunities for researchers to develop the researches that had been conducted to obtain the new technology. The supported technologies and the completed information would enhance the development of this commodity especially at industrial scale.

digunakan sebagai afrodisiak, diuretic, dan tonik. Tanaman tersebut adalah tumbuhan asli Indonesia yang tumbuh secara endemik di dataran tinggi Dieng Jawa Tengah, Gunung Pangrango Jawa Barat, dan area pegunungan di Jawa Timur. Dewasa ini, populasinya sangat jarang yang disebabkan oleh erosi genetik secara besar-besaran. Berdasarkan tingkat erosinya, purwoceng dikategorikan sebagai spesies yang hampir punah. Untuk menghindari kepunahan, tindakan konservasi harus dikelola dengan baik. Upaya pelestarian sebaiknya dilakukan secara bersama dengan upaya pemanfaatannya secara optimal dan berkelanjutan. Hingga saat ini tidak banyak laporan penelitian tentang purwoceng. Beberapa aspek yang sudah dilaporkan adalah aspek agronomi, kultur in vitro, fitokimia, dan farmakologi. Namun demikian, hasil penelitian tersebut belum memuaskan. Penelitian pemuliaan bahkan belum pernah dilaporkan. Kondisi demikian membuka peluang bagi pengembangan penelitian yang sudah pernah dilakukan hingga diperoleh teknologi yang mantap. Teknologi yang mendukung dan informasi yang lengkap diharapkan akan meningkatkan pengembangan komoditas tersebut, terutama dalam skala industri.
