Assessment of chronic suppurative otitis media patients with cholesteatoma on the basis of gadolinium enhanced T1-T2 weighted images of MRI
Authors: Verma Sumeer , Arora Anshu , Jain Ajay Kumar
Published: June 2019

Background: The propensity for ossicular destruction is much greater in case of unsafe CSOM due to presence of cholesteatoma and/or granulations. Partial or total destruction of ossicles is seen in approximately 80% of patients with cholesteatoma, whereas in chronic otitis media without cholesteatom, ossicular chain erosion can be seen in approximately 20% cases.The present study aims to evaluate the clinical profile of patients of unsafe chronic suppurative otitis media with cholesteatoma and assesses patients on the basis of gadolinium enhanced T1-T2 weighted images of MRI.

Methods: The study was conducted among patients who were fulfilling the criteria for unsafe CSOM i.e., retraction pocket in pars tensa, marginal perforation, perforation in pars flaccida, presence of granulation tissue, presence of polyp, blood stained discharge etc. were selected for the study. MRI was performed in all cases by using gadolinium enhanced T1-T2 sequences for diagnosis of cholesteatoma. Mastoidectomy was done to confirm the findings of MRI.  

Results: In maximum number of cases perforation was found in attic region. Most common complication of disease is the ossicular chain erosion. In present study sensitivity was 84%, specificity was 100% and positive predictive value and negative predictive value were 100% and 66% respectively.

Conclusions: It can be concluded that MRI can differentiate cholesteatoma from other inflammatory etiology. By using MRI with 1.5 or 3T unit a small cholesteatoma (even 2-3 mm) can be easily detected at its early stage and further complications can be prevented.

Authors: Hota Abhipsa
Published: June 2019

Background: The primary aim is to understand the factors affecting the audiological, speech and language outcome in prelingually deaf children, with bilateral severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss, who have undergone cochlear implantation.

Methods: 40 prelingually deaf children, with bilateral severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss, who have undergone cochlear implantation were enrolled. Auditory performance and speech intelligibility was gauged by revised categories of auditory performance (CAP) score and speech intelligibility rating (SIR) respectively, preoperatively and at 3 months, 6 months and 1 year post cochlear implantation. These values were analysed using statistical package for social sciences with respect to duration of auditory deprivation, duration of use of hearing aid prior to cochlear implantation, duration of auditory verbal therapy prior to cochlear implantation and age of child at cochlear implantation.  

Results: There is a negative relation between CAP and duration of auditory deprivation at 6 months and 1 year post cochlear implantation. Also, negative relation is seen between CAP and age of child at cochlear implantation at 6 months and 1 year post cochlear implantation. There is a negative relation between SIR and duration of auditory deprivation at 6 months and 1 year post cochlear implantation. Also, negative relation is seen between SIR score and age of child at cochlear implantation at 3 months, 6 months and 1 year post cochlear implantation.

Conclusions: Lesser the auditory deprivation and younger the child at cochlear implantation, better is the audiological performance and speech intelligibility post cochlear implantation.

Published: June 2019

Hemangiomas are benign accumulations of blood vessels which occur in any tissue that includes vascular components like skin, mucosa, muscles, glands and bones. Hemangiomas arising in the nose are rare and account for less than 20% of all benign tumors of nose. They usually arise from inferior turbinate, middle turbinate and vomer. We present a case of cavernous hemangioma of left nasal cavity arising from mucosa of left middle meatus mimicking an antrochoanal polyp. Hemangiomas arising from middle meatus are extremely rare and to our knowledge this is the second case reported in literature.

Authors: Pande Ashish , Bhaskarwar Ajit P.
Published: June 2019

Background: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear is a common injury sustained during contact games hampering performance of the sportsmen and thus requires promt management. Arthroscopic ACL reconstruction is commonly associated with postoperative knee effusion which affects the functional recovery. Various treatment modalities are available for managing effusion after ACL reconstruction, which are associated with various grades of success and side effects.

Methods: This prospective interventional study was carried out at tertiary care Orthopaedic centre. It involved 48 Young male athletes with ACL tear managed subsequently by arthroscopic ACL reconstruction. Subjects were divided into Injection group and non injection group by randomization and blinding was ensured. Postoperative rehabilitation, prophylactic antibiotic and chemoprophylaxis for DVT was kept standardised for all patients. Patients were assessed for pain at operative site by visual analogue scale, effusion of knee by classification of Coupens and Yates and Lysholm knee scoring at 2nd, 6th and 12th week postoperatively.

Results: During follow ups it was found that Injection group was having significant less incidence of effusion as compared with Non injection group; which also has reflected in functional recovery.

Conclusions: It can be concluded that use of inj tranexamic acid preoperative dose in case of patients undergoing ACL reconstruction is efficient to reduce the knee effusion.

Authors: Imam Saheb Mubarak Basha , Saravanan Maheswaran Karattipalayam , Mandice Joney , Subramaniyan Vijay Krishnan Arcot
Published: June 2019

Background: Lumbar disc herniation is the most common cause of low back pain and significant disability with economic impact too. Management of disc herniation is challenging, often confusing when surgical treatment is considered, because of frequent failures after surgery in many patients to relieve symptoms.

Methods: Our study was a prospective study conducted in Department of Orthopaedics, Coimbatore medical college. Thirty six patients operated for intervertebral disc herniation of lumbar spine from March 2015 to February 2017 were included in the study.

Results: VAS score was not significant between two groups, at one month, but at 6 months, PLIF group had better VAS score and was statistically significant. ODI scores showed a similar pattern.

Conclusions: Discectomy for symptomatic lumbar disc herniation is still the procedure of choice but with any subtle instability, then it should be combined with stabilisation like posterior lumbar interbody fusion.

Authors: Saini Naveen , Rawat Santosh , Saresa Hiten , Mehta Kapil Dev , Jain Rishi
Published: June 2019

Background: Numerous dietary supplements with disease-modifying action are available in Indian market. However, doctor’s preferences for these disease modifying osteoarthritis drugs (DMOADs) to prevent progression of OA are not known. The objective of this study was to quantify doctor preferences for potential DMOADs.

Methods: The survey instrument (online survey questionnaire at survey monkey) was developed by researchers upon review of existing literature and detailed discussion with practicing clinicians. Face and content validity and reliability (test-retest method) was assessed through a focused panel of clinicians to determine if content was adequate to obtain the necessary data. This was a cross-sectional digital survey of 207 orthopaedicians during Indian Orthopaedic Association Conference-2018 organized at Coimbatore.

Results: NSAIDs + DMOAD combinations were the most preferred treatment option for newly diagnosed OA patients. 44% orthopaedicians prefer to start the treatment with combination of NSAID and DMOAD as compared to 10% with paracetamol monotherapy. Glucosamine/chondroitin combinations are the most commonly preferred DMOAD by the orthopaedicians; followed by undenatured type II collagen. 66% of the doctors surveyed opined that the efficacy of undenatured type-II collagen is better as compared to other DMOADs.
Conclusions:The findings from the survey suggest that majority of orthopaedicians prefer to prescribe NSAID with DMOAD combinations for newly diagnosed osteoarthritis patients.
 
Surgical management of basicervical fracture neck of femur with dynamic hip screw and derotation screw: a prospective study
Authors: Kulambi Vijaykumar S. , Satish Ajay Shringeri , Rangaraja Prathik
Published: June 2019

Background: Basicervical region of femur is that part of femur which is intermediate between neck and intertrochanteric region. Fracture in this region carry substantially higher chances of failure due to greater fracture angle and are rotationally unstable. If treated inadequately they carry very high chances of fracture non-union and theoretically risk of osteonecrosis. The objective of the study was to analyse functional outcome of basicervical fracture neck of femur fixation with dynamic hip screw and de-rotation screw in a tertiary care hospital.

Methods: 35 cases of basicervical fracture neck of femur admitted in Chigatteri General Hospital and Bapuji Hospital affiliated to JJM Medical College Davangere, in the period of October 2015 to October 2018. Functional outcome was assessed according to Modified Harris Hip Score after one year of follow up.

Results: The fracture union was found in 100% cases, average time period for fracture union was 12.28±3.71 weeks (11-15 weeks range). The results according to Modified Harris hip score were excellent in 70%, good in 11.4%. good in 5.7% and poor in 2.8% at the end of one year. The correlation analysis with Pearson’s correlation coefficient (r) was 0.74 which show a highly positive correlation between the union of basicervical fracture neck of femur with dynamic hip screw and derotation screw.

Conclusions: With the study of 35 cases of basicervical fracture neck femur we conclude that these are a unique type of fractures mid-way between neck and intertrochanteric fractures with rotational and axial instability, and also risk of osteonecrosis. DHS allows for controlled collapse of the fracture for uneventful healing, and de-rotation screw gives rotational stability.

Authors: Kakatkar Vijay , Pal A. K. , Reddy Raghuveer , Dashputra Ravi , Kamble Sanjay , Saresa Hiten , Jain Rishi
Published: June 2019

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common musculoskeletal disorder that affects large and small joints and is seen in all ages due to diverse aetiologies. Pain, joint stiffness and limitation of daily activities affects the quality of life of individuals with OA. Conventional analgesics like non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs affect pain and inflammatory component but do not target the disease pathogenesis. Damage to the joint cartilage is central to the pathogenesis of OA. Better understanding of the pathogenesis has led to evolution of various adjuvant drugs in management of OA. Among them, undenatured type II collagen induces immune tolerance and thereby provide benefits by reducing the joint damage. Studies assessing efficacy and safety of undenatured type II collagen in OA have shown to reduce clinical symptoms like pain, joint stiffness and improvement in physical activities, and thus improving the quality of life. It is well tolerated and safe for use in OA. This article discusses the pathophysiology of OA with inflammation and beyond, and overviews the various drugs that are used as adjuvants in the management of OA with special focus on the use of type 2 collagen.

Published: June 2019

Several forest species typical of semi-arid regions are used for afforestation and mulungu among them has great ecological importance. This study aims to evaluate the development of mulungu (Erythrina velutina Willd) seedlings from seeds which have been submitted to different dormancy breaking treatments. The seeds were submitted to eleven treatments: mechanical scarification with sandpaper No. 80 (T1); mechanical scarification with sandpaper No. 60 (T2); hole with soldering iron hole(T3); mechanical scarification with sandpaper No. 60 + immersion in water for 24 hours (T4); mechanical scarification with sandpaper No. 80 + immersion in water for 24 hours (T5); immersion in water at 60 °C for 5 minutes (T6); immersion in water at 80 °C for 5 minutes (T7); immersion in water at 90 °C for 5 minutes (T8); immersion in water for 24 hours (T9); immersion in water for 48 hours (T10) and hole with soldering iron hole+ immersion in water for 24 hours (T11). The treatments applied were efficient in the beginning of development the seedling’s (height, stem diameter and number of leaves), the treatments with water immersion showed better results for the analysis of the total fresh phytomass, divergent results from the literature were found for water scarification treatments, resulting in the least developed seedlings. Thus, it seems clear that of E. velutina dormancy can be overcome with different methods, in order to promote faster germination, and the mechanical scarification more efficient in the initial development of the seedling.

Published: June 2019

The present study proposed to present contributions regarding the bias of Optimism, with the objective of analyzing and validating a scale for Optimism in the Brazilian population. For this purpose, we used the TOV-R scale, it is also used in other countries. Although it was already translated in Brazil, it did not have its Construct Validity tested at the time. In relation to the sample, it consisted of 2,843 individuals. The statistical treatment of the data was done by means of Exploratory Factorial Analyzes (AFE), in which Cronbach’s alpha (α) was tested, with a result of 0.654 for the Optimism factor and 0.609 a for Pessimism, indicating reliability. Afterwards, a Confirmatory Factorial Analysis (AFC) was carried out, in which the negative correlation between the factors Optimism and Pessimism was perceived, something already expected due to the antagonism between the factors. However, it was not possible to validate Constructo because there is no Convergent and Discriminant Validation for the Optimism and Pessimism factors.

Published: June 2019

Brazilian society has been facing, since the year of 2015, a large outbreak of so-called arboviruses caused by Aedes aegypti. Since then, numerous studies have sought alternatives for actions in the areas of public health, education and other social determinants of the problem. This research is focused on the analysis of regional governance in networks of actors for the confrontation of arboviruses, focusing on the sixth regional health management of Paraíba´s state. The organization of the different actors involved in the problem is fundamental for the reduction of the effects of the triple epidemic, using governance mechanisms. Based on documentary analysis and interviews with different actors of the network, it was possible to describe the governance mechanisms adopted and the problems for the expansion of the organization and cooperative action to confront the arboviruses. With this study we could conclude that important strategies have been developed in the municipalities, however the work aiming at public policies developed by people involved in the project is fragile, and there are also technical, operational and structural problems that hinder the effectiveness of the actions, which points out the most urgent demands in terms of governance.
Abdominal Pain-An Unusual Case of Anti-Phospholipid Syndrome
Authors: K Asim , NS Vipparla , W Farah , Z El-Amir , K Zatmar
Published: June 2019

Antiphospholipid Syndrome (APS), an autoimmune disease associated with hypercoagulability, commonly presents as arterial and/or venous thrombosis, recurrent spontaneous abortions, and moderate thrombocytopenia. It can manifest as a standalone syndrome or a manifestation of a primary systemic disease. The incidence and prevalence of APS without an acquired cause is not well known, although some estimates show around 5 new cases per 100,000 persons per year. Antiphospholipid antibodies (APLA) include anti-cardiolipin, Lupus anticoagulant (LA), and antibeta-2 glycoproteins which are responsible for the underlying pathophysiology. APS is known to be associated with SLE, connective tissue disorders, various autoimmune diseases, malignancies, HIV, and drugs. Anti-cardiolipin antibody causing thrombosis represents a spectrum of APS which is usually associated with an acquired condition and rarely presents as a primary syndrome. We present the case of an African American female, aged 30, with an atypical presentation of a thrombotic episode and the presence of anti-cardiolipin antibodies without any associated secondary cause. Our case stands out because of the primary nature of APS and the atypical presentation with abdominal signs, both of which are rare and constitute only 1.5% of cases of APS. Sharp clinical suspicion with prompt diagnosis can potentially prevent progression to a catastrophic event.

Published: June 2019

ZnO single crystals
has been implanted with 400 keV Cu ions at fluences of 2,5 x 1016 ions/cm2
at room temperature. The cathodoluminescence (CL) measurements of pure and Cu implanted samples
has been reported at UV-visible range at both room and different temperatures.
After the implantation process, the samples were annealed for 1 hour at 1000ºC.
The effects of ion implantation and annealing temperature and on the CL signals
were researched with the data obtained. The CL spectrum of pure ZnO exhibited
two emission bands at 385 nm and 550 nm. There
are some changes in the emission bands in the CL spectrum that are thought to
be due to the presence of Cu ions. Also
it is possible to say that the annealing temperature can strongly influence CL
intensity.
Density-based Food Analysis Using a Smartphone
Authors: TASOGLU Savas , KNOWLTON Stephanie
Published: June 2019

Density is a crucial factor of interest in the food industry because it
can reveal valuable information about the content and quality of food products.
Traditionally, this physical property is quantified using a hydrometer or a
pyncometer. However, the accuracy of analog instruments is limited by human
error and more modern digital adaptations of such methods come with high
monetary costs. Here, we present a low-cost, portable,
and user-friendly platform for density-based analysis of liquid food samples of
very small volumes (<10 µL) via magnetic levitation. The platform is
fully compatible with an Android smartphone which collects magnified images and
conducts automated density-based metric determination using a custom-designed
Android application. Validity of the device was shown by measuring the density
of oils (indicating fat content) and ethanol solutions (indicating alcohol
content). This technique offers an accurate and low-cost alternative to current
density measurement techniques for analysis of food quality for broad use
in-home or in the food industry

Authors: Othman Faridatul Sakinah , Md Saad Mohd Shamsuri , Robani Anidah
Published: June 2019

Purpose: This study aims to examine the impact of leadership styles, specifically on transformational leadership and transactional leadership in R&D team performance of researcher in UniversitiTeknikal Malaysia Melaka (UTeM). Further, this study was to examine the impact of knowledge sharing on R&D team performance as mediating variables. Methodology: The survey method was adopted to carry out the research. A structured Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ) was used for data collection. R&D team performance was assessed based on measures of performance. Regression and Correlation statistical techniques were used to analyze the data elicited from one hundred seventy two (172) randomly selected respondents. Main Findings: It was revealed from the study that while transformational leadership style had a positive impact on R&D team performance; transactional leadership style also had a positive impact on R&D team performance. It was also revealed from the study that knowledge sharing have significant and positive relationship with mediate both transformational leadership and transactional leadership on R&D team performance. Implications/Applications: This research shows that R&D teams also can use the full range leadership styles although there are comparisons of uniqueness that exists in the R&D teams with other contexts. This is because leading an R&D team requires the leader to possess certain skills in addition to technical expertise, such as spreading information regarding technical advances, being knowledgeable regarding current professional activities and possessing strategic planning skills in an innovative climate where the team is not permanent or lasts only for a short period of time. This research confirmed that leadership styles led to significant team performance benefits such as an increase achievement of technical objectives, efficiency of resource utilization and other achievements. Novelty/Originality: This study has successfully extended the full leadership literature by conceptualizing how the transformational leadership and transactional leadership styles positively impact the R&D team's performance. Hence, the findings in this study may be beneficial and act as a framework or a limitation for other studies.
Questões Constitucionais na Ordem Processual: entre a Repercussão Geral e a Tutela de Direitos Fundamentais Individuais
Authors: Martins Leonardo
Published: June 2019

O art. 102, §3° CF, inserido pelo constituinte derivado em 2004, instituiu filtro aparentemente qualitativo a ser aplicado pelo STF em sede de juízo extraordinário de admissibilidade de Recursos Extraordinários. O propósito é, em suma, viabilizar a fundamentação pela Corte do descarte de Recursos Extraordinários, cujas “questões constitucionais” não tenham “repercussão geral”, com vistas à garantia de sua capacidade funcional ameaçada por uma sobrecarga de recursos a serem julgados. Como tais entendidos, são os recursos que não tenham relevância social, política, econômica ou até jurídica. Passados 14 anos desde sua inserção no texto constitucional não se logrou definir e adequadamente classificar o novo instituto processual-constitucional com fortes implicações jurídico-materiais. A discussão enfoca o conceito de “repercussões gerais” que foi ainda apenas insatisfatoriamente, mas de certo modo concretizado. Por sua vez, sobre o conceito de “questões constitucionais”, que representa o pressuposto daquele, não existe nenhum estudo específico. O presente estudo visa a suprir essa lacuna. Como método, valeu-se do chamado princípio distributivo cunhado no direito germânico. Em seu inventário de fontes, consta um vasto material comparativo relativo especialmente à lida jurisprudencial com o problema correlato na Alemanha, além da crítica à delimitação entre o chamado direito constitucional “específico” e o direito infraconstitucional. Partindo da hipótese segundo a qual, a despeito do teor do art. 102, 3° CF, seria dever do juiz natural das questões constitucionais reconhecê-las ex officio, o estudo conclui por sua confirmação. Como resultado, apresenta critérios de orientação para o delineamento conceitual e prático das “questões constitucionais”.

On the Possibilities of Sociological Application of the Concept of “Ressentiment” by M. Scheler
Authors: Presnyakov Ilya V.
Published: June 2019

The author reveals the concept of “ressentiment” in the works of Max Scheler. It is highlighted that this concept is the continuation and development of Sheler’s axiological doctrine, it forms the foundation of his sociology of knowledge and philosophical anthropology. Analysis of Scheler’s ideas about “ressentiment” in the works of foreign and domestic authors made it possible to determine the areas of possible application of this concept in various fields of research. The author comes to the conclusion that studying Sheler’s heritage can not only philosophically deepen the sociological study of society, but also outline the current search directions in various branches of social and humanitarian knowledge.

The author demonstrates the theoretical and methodological potential of applying the concept of “ressentiment”, based on the example of analyzing changes in the modern perception of human corporeality in general and the beauty of the human body in particular. The concept of “bodily ressentiment” is introduced, while revealing features of the “coup in values” mechanism, which manifests itself in the desire to practically change one’s own body. People with copious tattooing have become the object of preliminary observation within the context of the sociological study of the mass perception of human corporeality. Interpreting the results of in-depth interviews allowed for identifying the possibilities of empirically applying M. Scheler’s concept of “ressentiment”. Although the mental and psychological characteristics associated with ressentiment were not noticed in everyone who applies a large number of tattoos on his or her body, it is possible, regardless, to establish a connection between experiencing ressentiment and one’s propensity to constantly apply tattoos. It should be noted that the author of this study was not out to determine the prevalence of “bodily ressentiment”. His goal was to detect external signs and to reveal states of consciousness which most likely would indicate towards an emerging and developing ressentiment connected with one’s body.

A mediana do tempo de internamento foi de 11 dias. A idade (p = 0,002, OR 1,03, 95% IC 1,01 – 1,04), a existência de internamento prévio por celulite/erisipela (p = 0,005, OR 4,81, 95% IC 1,63 – 14,23), a presença de complicações associadas à celulite/erisipela (p = 0,001, OR 3,28, 95% IC 1,63 – 6,59), a leucocitose (p = 0,049, OR 1,81, 95% IC 1,00 – 3,30), valores elevados de proteína C reativa (p = 0,035, OR 1,03, 95% IC 1,00 - 1,06) e o isolamento de microrganismo em cultura (p = 0,002, OR 2,59, 95% IC 1,41 – 4,79) estiveram associados a internamentos prolongados.Discussão: A par dos maiores custos associados, o internamento prolongado por celulite/erisipela está frequentemente associado à necessidade de investigação clínica adicional, a tratamentos invasivos, a cursos prolongados de antibioterapia, ao risco de infeções nosocomiais e ao atraso no retorno às atividades da vida diária. Assim, o estudo dos fatores clínico-laboratoriais associados ao internamento prolongado por celulite/erisipela é fundamental e poderá ser útil para a construção de um score de gravidade.Conclusão: O conhecimento de características clínicas e laboratoriais associadas ao internamento prolongado poderá ser relevante para melhorar os cuidados de saúde, através da redução dos tempos de internamento e dos seus riscos e custos associados.

Published: June 2019

Introduction: Skin and skin structure infections are an increasing cause of hospitalization. Although mortality is relatively low, skin and skin structure infections are associated with prolonged hospital length of stay and high costs. Oxazolidinones have been suggested as a tool to treat infected patients in the ambulatory setting in order to decrease hospital length of stay. We wanted to address the evidence associated with the use of oxazolidinones in the treatment of skin and skin structure infections.Material and Methods: In this observational retrospective study we analyzed the anonymized diagnosis related group coded information from the Portuguese database for hospital admissions, that included all adult patients with a diagnosis of oxazolidinone use and a SSSI, discharged between 2010 and 2015.Results: During the study period, a total of 5518 patients had a diagnosis of oxazolidinone treatment. We selected 483 of those who were also diagnosed with a skin and skin structure infections. Their mean age was 64.9 years and 62.7% were male. The median hospital length of stay was 27 days (Inter quartile range 13 – 56) and the mortality rate was 12.6%. The prevalence of secondary anemia and of thrombocytopenia in the whole group treated with oxazolidinones was 2.5% and 3%, respectively.Discussion: Despite the high bioavailability of oxazolidinones, we were not able to find evidence that its use was associated with a decrease of mortality or hospital length of stay (due to early discharge) of patients with skin and skin structure infections.Conclusion: In this study we were not able to find evidence that oxazolidinones had any clinically significant benefit. A structured approach, including antibiotics with favorable pharmacokinetic and safety profile as well as a carefully planned ambulatory follow up may be needed.

Authors: Saldanha Inês , Matos Ricardo , Órfão Tiago , Santos Margarida
Published: June 2019

New generation oral anticoagulants — rivaroxaban, apixaban and edoxaban — represent an important medical achievement. Their therapeutic effectiveness and ease of use make them essential in the management of thromboembolic conditions. However, as warfarin, they have known haemorrhagic risks. This paper reports the case of a 50-year-old female who presented with ear pain and spontaneous blood discharge in her right ear, after a two-week treatment with rivaroxaban. The physical examination revealed a spontaneous tympanic haematoma in the inferior quadrants, adjacent to the umbus. She denied any manipulation of the ear canal. Our goal is to alert for a presumable side effect of this drug in clinical practise.

A Reforma Universitária de Córdoba de 1918 completa seus cem anos. Suas influências atingem o Brasil desde o final da década de 1920 no que diz respeito a um programa político de reformas universitárias. Dentre tantas reivindicações propostas nessa reforma – a democratização do acesso à educação superior, no Brasil, ainda é fundamentalmente destaque. O artigo, contextualiza a proposta da Reforma de Córdoba e coloca em pauta o surgimento das ações afirmativas em diferentes países e para fins variados. Denomina o que é uma ação afirmativa e demonstra como o programa e, posteriormente, a política de ações afirmativas foram se constituindo e sendo adotados nas universidades brasileiras, particularmente na Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC). Também se faz uma análise documental e quantitativa que permitiu averiguar o movimento de acesso de estudantes negros após a implementação do programa de cotas nas universidades brasileiras. Por fim, são destacados dados específicos obtidos por meio de pesquisas desenvolvidas em nível de mestrado e doutorado na UFSC, as quais evidenciam avanços no acesso de estudantes negros à universidade, mas também limites a serem conhecidos e sanados.

Published: June 2019

Background: Model analysis constitutes an essential aspect of orthodontic diagnostic practice. Pavan has developed an application to simplify the mathematical calculations employed in orthodontic model analysis. Purpose: This study was conducted to obtain the differences in results and time periods of model analysis using conventional means and iModelAnalysis. Methods: The research represented a comparative analytic study. The populations comprised dental casts dating from 2014 in the Orthodontics Laboratory of Padjadjaran University. The samples comprised 31 dental casts which were subjected to a total sampling method consisting of two treatments; a conventional method calculation and one using iModelAnalysis. A normality test was conducted and processed using a paired t-test with α=0.05. Results: The means of arch length discrepancies were 1.64±2.63 mm and 1.37±3.07 mm for the conventional methods and 1.65±2.43mm and 1.42±3.04mm for iModelAnalysis. The results of a Bolton analysis for conventional methods were 78.05±2.69% and 91.93±1.29%, while those for iModelAnalysis were 77.91±2.70% and 91.96±2.13%. A Howes analysis of conventional methods produced a result of 45.56±2.83%, while for an iModelAnalysis one of 45.56±2.85%. Pont analysis for conventional methods was 39.35±0.04 mm and 49.17±2.55 mm, while for iModelAnalysis it was 39.35±0.07 mm and 49.19±2.57mm. The mean of the duration of analysis using conventional methods was 1703.81±56.46 seconds, while for iModelAnalysis it was 990.06±34.87 seconds. A normality test confirmed that the data was normally distributed (p>0.05). The results of a paired sample t-test with p>0.05 showed that there was no significant difference between the results of each analysis, while there was significant difference in the time period of analysis. Conclusion: There was no difference in the analysis results. However, there was difference in the time period of analysis between conventional methods and that of iModelAnalysis.
Contrasting perceptions of male and female dental students regarding smile aesthetics based on their gingival display
Authors: Sijabat Yessy Josephine , Christnawati C. , Karunia Dyah
Published: June 2019

Background: Perception consists of personal opinion in relation to an object. In terms of aesthetics, perception normally differs from one individual to another based on several factors such as gender. When expressing emotion, a smile is the most important facial expression whose aesthetics are constructed from a number of components, including gingival display. Purpose: This study aimed to establish the comparative perceptions of the smile aesthetics of male and female dental students based on their gingival display. Methods: 36 dental students, divided equally according to gender, were enrolled in this study. Photographic images of the smile of each subject were taken from a frontal direction with a Canon EOS 700D digital camera and subsequently printed. Assessments were conducted by comparing the photographs of subjects from the perspective of smile references based on the gingival display, followed by subject scoring on the basis of smile classification. Assessments were conducted twice within a two-week period to confirm test reliability. The data collected was analyzed by means of kappa statistic and U-Mann Whitney tests. Results: The test results indicated that all subjects demonstrated a coincidence in their analysis (κ=0.84). Statistical analysis showed that a score of 0.902 (p>0.05) had been produced by a U-Mann Whitney test. Conclusion: It can be concluded that no difference exists between male and female students in the perception of smile aesthetics based on the gingival display.
