Published: December 2021

Przedmiotem opracowania są usługi świadczone turystom w Krakowie, mieście historycznym o bogatym dziedzictwie kulturowym, postrzeganym jako najbardziej rozpoznawalna polska destynacja turystyczna. Celem pracy jest ocena usług świadczonych turystom w Krakowie. Ocena ta została sporządzona na podstawie prowadzonych przez Małopolską Organizację Turystyczną badań ruchu turystycznego w Krakowie w latach 2010–2020. Przy realizacji postawionego celu przeprowadzono analizę ankiet na próbie 26 298 wyselekcjonowanych z bazy danych Małopolskiej Organizacji Turystycznej. Wyniki badań pozwalają stwierdzić, że poziom i zakres świadczonych usług zaspokaja potrzeby turystów i jest oceniany pozytywnie. Badania nie wykazały negatywnego wpływu wzrastającego w ciągu dekady ruchu turystycznego na poziom świadczonych usług. Najwyższą ocenę (4,52) w całym analizowanym okresie uzyskała atmosfera miasta, która wraz z życzliwością i gościnnością składa się na niepowtarzalną cechę zwaną genius loci. Wysoką pozycję w ocenach zyskały również usługi gastronomiczne; średnia ocena wynosi 4,29. Mocny punkt oferty turystycznej miasta stanowi baza noclegowa. Wysoko oceniono także usługi w zakresie rozrywki, informacji turystycznej oraz dostępności komunikacyjnej i komunikacji wewnętrznej. Ponadto stwierdzono, że zainteresowania zabytkami miasta i wizyty w ramach wypoczynku stanowią niezmiennie dominujący cel przyjazdu do Krakowa. Istotnym motywem pobytu turystów w mieście były też odwiedziny krewnych i znajomych. Badania ruchu turystycznego w Krakowie, prowadzone od 2003 roku, będą kontynuowane w kolejnych latach, dostarczając istotnych informacji niezbędnych do formowania polityki zrównoważonego rozwoju turystyki w Krakowie.

Published: December 2021

This work explores the designing a system of an automated unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV( for objects detection, labelling, and localization using deep learning. This system takes pictures with a low-cost camera and uses a GPS unit to specify the positions. The data is sent to the base station via Wi-Fi connection.

The proposed system consists of four main parts. First, the drone, which was assembled and installed, while a Raspberry Pi4 was added and the flight path was controlled. Second, various programs that were installed and downloaded to define the parts of the drone and its preparation for flight. In addition, this part included programs for both Raspberry Pi4 and servo, along with protocols for communication, video transmission, and sending and receiving signals between the drone and the computer. Third, a real-time, modified, one dimensional convolutional neural network (1D-CNN) algorithm, which was applied to detect and determine the type of the discovered objects (labelling). Fourth, GPS devices, which were used to determine the location of the drone starting and ending points . Trigonometric functions were then used for adjusting the camera angle and the drone altitude to calculate the direction of the detected object automatically.

According to the performance evaluation conducted, the implemented system is capable of meeting the targeted requirements.

Published: December 2021

Purpose: To estimate the positive predictive value (PPV) of Canadian ICD-10 diagnostic coding for the identification of hospitalization related to a diabetic foot ulcer (DFU).
Methods: Hospitalizations related to a neuropathic and/or ischemic DFU were identified from the Discharge Abstract Database (DAD) records of a single Canadian tertiary care hospital between April 1, 2002 and March 31, 2019. The first coding approach required a most responsible diagnosis (MRDx) code for diabetes-specific foot ulceration or gangrene (DSFUG group). Three alternative coding approaches were also considered: MRDx code for lower-limb osteomyelitis (osteomyelitis group); lower-limb ulceration (LLU group); or lower-limb atherosclerotic gangrene (atherosclerosis group)—each in conjunction with a non-MRDx DSFUG code on the same DAD record. From all eligible DAD records, random samples were drawn for each coding group. DAD records were independently compared by a masked reviewer who manually abstracted data from the entire hospital record (reference standard). The PPV and 95% CI were generated.
Results: Out of 1,460 hospitalizations, a total of 300, 50, 33 and seven records were included from the DSFUG, osteomyelitis, LLU and atherosclerosis samples, respectively. Compared to the reference standard, the PPV for all 390 records was 88.5% (95% CI 84.9 to 91.5). The DSFUG group had the highest PPV (90.0%, 95% CI 86.0 to 93.2), followed by the atherosclerosis (85.7%, 95% CI 42.1 to 99.6), LLU (84.9%, 95% CI 68.1 to 94.9) and osteomyelitis (82.0%, 95% CI 68.6 to 91.4) groups.
Conclusion: Based on data from a Canadian tertiary care hospital, the specified coding algorithms can be used to identify and study the management and outcomes of people hospitalized with a DFU in Ontario.

Authors: Cao Lei , Wu Yajuan , Huang Yuanbo , Li Zhongming , Zhu Jing , Xu Wenrong , Xu Lan , Jiang Yanmin , Yu Lu , Wang Lei
Published: December 2021

Background

Androgenetic alopecia is considered to be an independent predictor of mortality from diabetes mellitus and heart disease. However, whether androgenetic alopecia causes changes in microcirculation is unknown.

Objective

The objective of the study was to investigate whether alterations in nailfold capillaries occur in androgenetic alopecia patients.

Methods

The nailfold capillaroscopy images of androgenetic alopecia patients and matched controls were collected and analyzed.

Results

The frequencies of avascular areas, dilated, bushy and bizarre capillaries and capillary disorganization, nailfold capillaroscopy scores of 2 or scores both 2 and 3 were significantly higher in the androgenetic alopecia group than in the healthy controls (9.0% vs. 0%, 57.7% vs. 19.2%, 3.8% vs. 0%, 2.8% vs. 1.3%, 3.8% vs. 0%, 38.5% vs. 12.8% and 39.7% vs. 12.8%, respectively).

Limitations

The results of this study may be biased on account of the limited sample size or the presence of an undiagnosed disease in participants which could alter the nailfold capillaries.

Conclusion

Bushy, bizarre and dilated capillaries, capillary disorganization, avascular areas and nailfold capillaroscopy scores of 2 or 2 and 3 were more common in androgenetic alopecia patients than in healthy controls. These findings indicate that abnormalities in microcirculation may be involved in androgenetic alopecia.

Authors: Farooq Mohammed Umar , Puranik Manjunath P. , Shanbhag Namita
Published: December 2021

Objectives:

The objective of this study was to assess the association between oral health and family quality of life (QoL) among 6-12 years schoolchildren.

Materials and Methods:

A cross-sectional study was conducted among 300 schoolchildren of age group 6–12 years in Bengaluru, India. A 14-item pre-validated family impact scale (FIS) instrument was used to assess parental family QoL. The World Health Organization oral health pro forma (2013) was used to assess oral health status of children. Pearson’s correlation, Spearman’s correlation, and logistic regression analysis were performed. P <0.05 was considered as statistically significant.

Results:

Mean age of the study participants was 9.33 ± 1.85 years. Mean FIS score was 8.1 ± 5.5. The proportion of participants with caries experience, gingival bleeding, dental trauma, and dentinal erosion was 66%, 41%, 16%, and 17%, respectively. Children with caries experience were more likely to have family impact than those without caries (decay, missing, filled teeth) [P < 0.05]).

Conclusion:

There was an association between oral health status and family QoL among 6–12 years schoolchildren. Dental caries had an impact on family QoL among the schoolchildren in Bengaluru city.

Authors: Oz Esra , Kırzıoglu Zuhal
Published: December 2021

Objectives:

The objectives of the study were to examine the usefulness and content of YouTube videos regarding additional oral hygiene practices that need to be taken during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.

Materials and Methods:

A search of YouTube videos was performed using the terms “oral health,” “dental hygiene,” “oral health child” and “dental hygiene child” in combination with “COVID-19”. When analyzing each video, the descriptive characteristics such as title, country of origin, date of upload, duration of the video, the number of views, comments, likes, and dislikes were recorded. The quality of the videos were assessed through indices: Video ınformation and quality ındex (VIQI), modified DISCERN, and global quality score (GQS). The content quality score of the videos was examined.

Results:

The majority of the analyzed videos were uploaded by health-care professionals (67%). About 40% of the videos were slightly useful, and 6% were useful. There was no statistically significant correlation between the source of upload and GQS, VIQI, total content, or modified DISCERN scores (P > 0.05). Highly-watched videos appeared to have a higher total content, VIQI, Modified DISCERN, and GQI scores than poorly-watched videos, but this difference was not statistically significant (P > 0.05).

Conclusion:

YouTube videos related to oral hygiene practices during COVID-19 pandemic were a limited source for children. Oral health-care professionals and organizations should play an active important role for providing educative oral hygiene-related information on YouTube videos.
Deciphering dimensions of overlapping publications
Authors: Kumar Amit , Rajput Soni , Puranik Manjunath P. , Patel Ankit Mahesh
Published: December 2021

Proving research efficiency and academic growth by the number of publications flag the researchers to publish more articles from a single dataset. They are crossing into unethical practices such as self-plagiarism, duplicate publication, and other research misconducts, which warrant disciplinary action against them. The thrust of this review is to draw the attention of the authors, reviewers, editors, and readers toward different dimensions of overlapping publications in research. Various guidelines and ethical bodies such as Committee on Publication Ethics and International Committee of Medical Journal Editors were considered for the review. The present review provides an expansive outline of publication overlap available in the literature. The reasons for conducting and problems associated with different types of overlapping publications are identified. Preventive and remedial measures as well as recommendations for authors, editors, and reviewers have been highlighted. Because of the strain to “publish or perish” from the researchers’ end, journals are ending up being flooded with overlapping publications.
Practical lessons from a general dentist of more than 50 years private practice plus 2 years of United States Air Force practice
Authors: Davis T. Bob
Published: December 2021

Having practiced over 54 years the art and science of general dentistry, many changes in philosophy and performance have occurred. Some are minor while others very major. This series of observations will treat some in detail while others very briefly. The physical locations have been in the Dallas, Texas area of the USA. Definitions of terms set the stage for discussion of the basis of dentistry. Support for the scientific as well as evidence-based approaches is laid forth.

Filling materials have transitioned from amalgam to composite being most prevalent. Fluoride added to local water supplies has decreased the number of decayed/sensitive teeth, the timing of initial decay, and the prognosis for remediation. pH is a major player in the deterioration of tooth structure. New understandings of tooth brushing and oral hygiene have significantly improved the future for continuing dental health. Absence of fluoride in bottled water has taken a front-center stage for helping/hurting chances of keeping teeth free of decay. Fluoride varnishes have widespread acceptance in America. Failure to seek routine dental care has influenced the outcomes for many younger patients, especially those who have graduated high school, gone off to college or into the workforce. Such lack of routine preventive influence raises the costs of care when it is received, often leading to complaints from patients about the high costs of repair. The alternative is prevention with ongoing consistent 6-month recalls/repairs when problems initiate, rather than allowing problems of long duration. The USA dental insurance industry adverse impact on practicing dentists is a vital monologue. Revealing the dental insurance industry as a number one concern of many surveys of practicing dentists is a way of preparing international countries for learning from the flawed USA models. Recent Congressional law, HR 1418, the Competitive Health Insurance Reform Act, will address some of the most critical wrongs by placing the dental insurance industry into antitrust restraints. Current concerns about digital X-ray’s diagnostic potential are revealed. Conservative dentistry is promoted. Results of conservative practice from nearly 50 years are documented with photos and X-rays. Bonded bridge technology is highlighted for its valued impact.

Authors:   Sardar Begum Dental College, Peshawar, Khalid Mariya , Chughtai Mohammad Ali , Shaheed Sohrab , Shah Syed Nasir
Published: December 2021

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this experimental study is to compare the dimensional accuracy of gypsum casts after repeated disinfection in microwave at 900 Watts, 2450 MHz (5 minutes) and immersion in 0.5% Sodium hypochlorite (10 minutes). Disinfecting casts is recommended to prevent cross infection but may cause dimensional changes. During fabrication of prosthesis, a cast may get contaminated several times so there is a need of repeated disinfection. METHODOLOGY: Sample size was 33 (11 in each group), calculated through WHO software for sample size determination by using standard deviation of 0.16 at 95% confidence interval and 80% power of study. Impressions in irreversible hydrocolloid were recorded of an acrylic cast fabricated for this study. The impressions were poured with die stone and were randomly divided into 3 groups; Group I: Microwave disinfection, Group II: Immersion disinfection in 0.5% Sodium hypochlorite, Group III: Control group. For Groups I and II, each cast was disinfected 7 times with 5 minutes interval between two disinfection cycles, after every cycle anteroposterior and mediolateral measurements were recorded using digital Vernier caliper (accuracy upto 0.01 mm). For group III, casts were rinsed with distilled water, dried in open air within temperature range of 28+/-2OC for 10 mins followed by anteroposterior and mediolateral measurements. This procedure was repeated seven times for each cast. RESULTS: Anteroposterior and Mediolateral differences of dimensional change between and within the Group A, B and C was calculated by One Way ANOVA. Inter/intra examiner reliability was taken into consideration at the time of study. Mean dimensional change in the casts were insignificant through six disinfecting cycles. However, in the seventh cycle, a significant difference (p=0.003) was observed in the anteroposterior dimension (0.03% dimensional change for Group A and 1.26 % for Group B whereas, in mediolateral dimension, dimensional change was 0.35% for Group A and 0.59% for Group B (p=0.004). Dimensional change of >0.5% was considered as the cutoff value for casts to be considered as dimensionally accurate. Casts disinfected through immersion disinfection did not produce dimensionally inaccurate casts in anteroposterior dimension after third cycle and in seventh cycle in mediolateral dimension. However, result is significant only in seventh cycle. Microwave disinfection produced dimensionally accurate casts throughout all cycles. CONCLUSION: Microwave disinfected casts remained dimensionally stable compared to immersion disinfection. KEYWORDS: Disinfection, microwave, immersion, dimensional stability, gypsum casts

Authors:   Peshawar Dental College, Warsak Road, Peshawar, ul Islam Mumtaz , Muhammad Sardar , Ghani Fazal
Published: December 2021

OBJECTIVE: To synthesize three experimental resin based composites (RBCs) out of a commercial preperation (Control) by impregnating into each a fixed weight (0.01%) of titanium dioxide (TiO2) and three different weight % (0.01, 0.02 and 0.03) of proanthocyanidin (PA) and to compare antibacterial property, from the zones of inhibition of streptococcus mutans (S. mutans), of the specimen restorations made in the experimental and control RBCs. METHODOLOGY: In the first phase, Streptococcus mutans were isolated and identified from the oral cavity of patients and identified on the basis of morphogenic appearance of colonies and confirmed through catalase test and microscopic examination. Isolates were then incubated and cultured for sensitivity. Specimens for control and experimental RBCs were made through a metallic mold having 2mm thickness and 5mm diameter for all the 4 groups. Specimen restorations made in the commercial as supplied RBC acted as the control (Group A). Specimen restorations in the Group B, C, and D were made in each of the experimental RBCs modified with 0.01% proanthocyanidin (PA) and 0.01% titanium dioxide (TiO2), 0.02% PA and 0.01% TiO2 and 0.03% PA and 0.01% TiO2. The antimicrobial property of all the specimen restorations in all the groups was evaluated by Bauer-Kirby (Disc Diffusion) method through the formation of zones of inhibition of S. mutans colonies on blood agar plates. Data were computed using SPSS version 21 for descriptive statistics and analyzed using one-way ANOVA with p value 0.05 taken as significant. RESULTS: The range of the zone of inhibition for specimen RBC restorations (N= 12) containing PA and TiO2 was 0.00 for Group A, 10-12mm for Group B, 12-14mm for Group C and 9-10mm for Group D. The mean inhibition zone for the experimental restoration specimens was 11±2mm for Group B, 12.7±1mm for Group C and 9.7±1mm for Group D compared to no inhibition zones (0.00 mm) with the control RBC Group A. The order of the inhibition zones from maximum to minimum was Group C > Group B > Group D > Group A. The differences between the mean values for the control and the experimental RBC restoration specimens were significant (p < 0.000). The specimen restorations in the Group D appeared under cured and could impact on their mechanical properties. CONCLUSION: Irrespective of the mentioned concentrations, impregnating PA and TiO2 rendered the RBC antimicrobial. RBC restorations made with the experimental RBC with 0.02% PA and 0.01% TiO2 proved relatively more effective in terms of antimicrobial effect.

Authors:   Baqai Dental College, Baqai Medical University, Shahab Aneeqa
Published: December 2021

OBJECTIVE: Tooth wear is a term defined as the loss of dental hard tissue in a damaged tooth if there is no existing dental caries or trauma. Tooth wear rarely exists alone and is observed clinically and experimentally in combination. Excessive tooth wear leads to hypersensitivity and exposed dentin. Tooth wear can be classified as attrition, erosion, abrasion. The frequency of normal tooth preservation is greater than ever, thus a better prevalence of tooth wear is experiential in the population. Therefore, the objective of the present cross-sectional study was to evaluate tooth wear and its causative risk factors amongst patients attending the Dental Hospital of Karachi. METHODOLOGY: The current study was a cross-sectional study conducted on adult patients recruited from the Out-Patient Department of Oral Diagnosis from May 2018 - December 2018. A consecutive sampling method was used and 250 adult patients aged 18-45 years were included. Tooth wear was assessed by using Smith and Knight Tooth Wear Index (TWI index).Data was entered and analyzed by using SPSS, frequency, percentages were calculated, and a chi-square test was performed to find the association between gender and risk factors. RESULTS: The subject populations of 250 were assessed. Out of which 178 were male (71.2%) and 72 (28.8%) were female with age ranging between 18 to 48 years old. In this study, 92.4% of them were suffering from tooth wear and only 31.2% have extended to the severe stage of the tooth surface loss. CONCLUSION: The present study concluded that there is an association between tooth wear and its risk factors.

Authors:   FMH College of Dentistry, Lahore,  Pakistan., Akram Zain , Anwar Malik Adeel
Published: December 2021

OBJECTIVE: Orofacial granulomatosis (OFG) is a relatively rare entity. The information pertaining to it is accessible to patients and care-givers on the internet in a scarce quantity. The aims of the current study were to evaluate quality, readability, understandability and actionability of information regarding the disease-orofacial granulomatosis-available to the public on the internet. The purpose of the study was to evaluate ease of access and understandability of language available for individuals affected by OFG. Although the incidence of the disease is very low in Pakistan, patients with symptoms of OFG rarely report to clinics due to social stigma. METHODOLOGY: A vivid selection process was chosen for the study. The study was conducted online on 'google scholar' website. Four different search terms were used 'ofg disease', 'orofacial granulomatosis', 'cheilitis granulomatosa' and 'Melkersson Rosenthal Syndrome' to seek information on orofacial granulomatosis. All of this was done during July, 2020 to October 2020. The first 100 results from each term were shortlisted and evaluated further. Exclusion criteria was used and several repetitive sites, non-functional links, sites containing content irrelevant to the search were excluded. This resulted in 58 websites relevant to the search that were then categorized according to affiliation, specialisation, content type as well as content presentation. Three grading assessments were utilized to assess the quality of this online information; the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) benchmarks, the Patient Education Materials Assessment Tool for Printable Materials (PEMAT-P) and the presence of Health on the Net (HON) seal. In order to assess the readability of the content in the websites, the Flesch Reading Ease Score (FRES) and Simple Measure of Gobbledygook (SMOG) were used. RESULTS: The overall quality of online information on orofacial granulomatosis is difficult to comprehend and act upon as assessed by the PEMAT. The HON seal was visible on only 5 (9%) websites. In terms of readability, only one (2%) website was fairly easy to read. CONCLUSIONS: The online information on orofacial granulomatosis is qualitatively poor and does not serve its purpose in true sense. There is a need to devise better, high quality online readable information for patients and the public to understand. KEY WORDS: Orofacial granulomatosis, cheilitis granulomatosa, PEMAT.
Dorsal spine intradural extramedullary hemangiopericytoma: a case report
Authors: Ghosh Tamajyoti , Carvalho Ajay Sebastian
Published: December 2021

Introduction: Hemangiopericytomas are rare CNS Neoplasms constituting <1% of CNS tumours. They are more commonly seen in cranium than in spine where they present as Intradural extramedullary in location. They rarely metastasize to Lung and Bone.World Health Organization Classification of Tumors of the Central Nervous System (CNS WHO) assigned the combined term solitary fibrous tumor/ hemangiopericytoma (SFT/HPC) to such lesions in 2016 due to their same genetic makeup.
Case report: Our case is about a 61-year-old diabetic male who presented with insidious onset, gradually progressive thoracic backache and asymmetric weakness with tightness and numbness of both lower limbs for last 6 months with no sphincter incontinence and bed bound for last 15 days. Clinically he had asymmetric spastic paraparesis of lower limb. His MRI Dorsal spine showed a 1.5 ґ 2 cm heterogeneously contrast enhancing Intradural lesion at D6-D7 compressing the cord from dorsolaterally with extensive cord edema from C5 to L2. Preoperative diagnosis of Meningioma/ Metastasis was made and patient underwentD5-D7 laminectomy and tumour excision. Intraoperative findings, there was no dural attachment, there were multiple tortuous blood vessels overlying greyish pink, fleshy, suckable, highly vascular, capsulated tumor posterolateral to cord. The superior aspect of tumor was adherent to cord with no clear interface. Tumor was seen separate from Left D7 nerve root. Post operatively patient improved symptomatically and neurologically. His HPE was suggestive of Hemangiopericytoma WHO Grade II (IHC markers CD34 and CD 31 was positive and KI 67% index of 10-15%). Patient has been on follow up and planned for metastatic workup.
Conclusion: Spinal Hemangiopericytoma are rare disease with nonspecific radiological features making preoperative diagnosis difficult. Differential diagnosis of hemangiopericytoma should be kept in case of atypical and high - grade radiological features. Gross total resection without compromising the neurological status should be the goal to prevent local recurrence. Proper consensus regarding the follow up and adjuvant therapies of spinal Hemangiopericytoma are still lacking.

We report a perfluorophenylboronic acid catalyzed cross coupling reaction of tertiary propargylic alcohols and hetero-areneboronic acids for valuable benzo[b]thiophene and cyclopenta[a]indene derivates. This coupling reaction proceeds efficiently with a wide array of substrates scope in up to 89% yield and excellent regioselectivity. A significant advantage of our protocol is the transition metal catalyst free and mild conditions needed. This strategy provides direct and facile access to medicinally important benzo[b]thiophene and cyclopenta[a]indene scaffold containing a quaternary carbon center.

New technologies for the creation of topological carbon nanostructures have significantly advanced synthetic organic chemistry and materials science. While simple molecular nanocarbons with a belt topology have been constructed recently, analogous carbon nanobelts with a twist, i.e., Möbius carbon nanobelts (MCNBs), have not yet been synthesized due to their high intrinsic strain. Herein, we report the synthesis, isolation, and characterization of a MCNB. Calculations of strain energies suggested that large MCNBs are synthetically accessible. Designing a macrocyclic precursor with an odd number of repeat units led to a successful rational synthetic route via Z-selective Wittig reactions and nickel-mediated intramolecular homocoupling reactions, which yielded (25,25)MCNB over 14 steps. NMR and theoretical calculations revealed that the twist moiety of the Möbius band moves quickly around the MCNB molecule in solution. The topological chirality originating from the Möbius structure was confirmed experimentally using chiral HPLC separation and CD spectroscopy.
