A Síndrome de Turner (ST) ocorre em 1 a cada 1.500 crianças nascidas-vivas, exclusivamente de risco feminino suas características físicas são pescoço alado, tórax alargado e baixa estatura. As implicações psicossociais, no entanto, são deixadas de lado e às vezes esquecidas. Com esta revisão bibliográfica objetivou-se a retomada e a investigação de como a interação social da portadora pode ser afetada, bem como a análise dos aspectos psicológicos e possíveis conflitos interpessoais relacionados a autoestima. O referencial teórico se deu a partir da leitura de outras fontes- que não a do artigo base: “Aspectos Psicossociais da Síndrome de Turner”. Foram avaliados artigos que elucidavam essa alteração cromossômica e foi realizado o levantamento de fontes de pesquisa importantes como os guias do Ministério da Saúde. Foram corroborados problemas na autoestima e dificuldade de aprendizagem, a baixa estatura é o principal fator de impactos emocionais e que a superproteção dos pais reforça a dependência e imaturidade das portadoras. Desse modo, é imperativo que à ST seja dada a devida importância para que haja a desmistificação de que as portadoras não são capazes de realizar atividades socialmente tidas como normais. Esse estudo agrega conhecimento sobre a ST, que ainda não é vista com a devida relevância, como também promover um debate de como as portadoras são tratadas nos mais diversos âmbitos da saúde.

O presente estudo tem como objetivo revisar na literatura a eficácia da laserterapia de baixa intensidade (LBI) como tratamento adjuvante no pós-operatório de exodontias de terceiros molares. Para isso, foi realizada revisão integrativa da literatura, estruturada em seis etapas distintas, previamente estabelecidas, mediante acesso virtual às bases de dados MEDLINE via PubMed e BVS. Após buscas bibliográficas, identificou-se um total de 40 publicações, das quais, após aplicação dos critérios de inclusão e exclusão, dez artigos foram selecionados. Com base na literatura revisada, pode-se perceber que a LBI possui importantes ações terapêuticas eficazes no tratamento adjuvante para redução de morbidades pós exodontia de terceiros molares, dentre as quais destacam-se o potencial analgésico e a redução do edema local e trismo. Contudo, alguns estudos divergem quanto aos seus efeitos e este fato decorre, principalmente, quanto a falta de padronização ao protocolo clínico empregado na pesquisa. Nesse sentido, novos estudos devem ser realizados com o foco na padronização do protocolo de intervenção como parâmetro de irradiação, desenho de estudo, tempo e locais de aplicação da LBI, dessa forma permitindo assim conclusões mais objetivas para guiar a prática clínica.

Edible insects – history, characteristics, benefits, risks and future prospects for use
Authors: Ivanišová Eva , Mihaľ Michal , Kolesárová Adriana
Published: May 2022

The growing global food crisis and the changing climatic and agro-ecological conditions on the planet are predominant, serious, and growing issues that require Global attention. Insecurity caused by the lack of food can have devastating effects on health, with malnutrition being considered a major cause of infant mortality. In addition, malnutrition at an early age has been linked to problems later, including hypertension, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases. Insecurity caused by the lack of food contributes to lowering immune function and altering the intestinal microbiome. By 2030, the annual economic cost of mortality and noncommunicable illnesses is anticipated to exceed $1.3 trillion. Edible insects are employed in gastronomy and the food industry in many Asian, Oceanian, African, and Latin American countries. Due to cultural preconceptions and disinformation regarding its detrimental characteristics and effects on the human body, Western societies perceive it as animal feed rather than human food. Academic, industrial, and government forces are constantly trying to reduce negative insect perceptions by raising public awareness of the need to find alternative food sources, developing new insect processing methods, and highlighting the health benefits of insect consumption. Insect consumption, also known as entomophagy, has been reported for a long time. It is estimated that roughly 2 billion individuals ingest insects regularly worldwide. There are about 2,000 edible bug species in the literature, the majority of which come from tropical nations. The most regularly ingested insects are beetles, bees, wasps, ants, caterpillars, grasshoppers, crickets, cicadas, termites, dragonflies, and flies. This review covers current insect trends as a prospective food source (alternative food source), describes the benefits and risks associated with their ingestion, and highlights the numerous areas where they could be used.
Does seeking knowledge of depression make a difference? A randomized study to examine the efficacy of psychoeducational intervention with patients suffering from non-psychotic depression
Authors: Gabriel Adel
Published: May 2022

Aims: The primary objective of the study is to assess the efficacy of a systematic patient-centered psychoeducation program on knowledge seeking of depression and on the clinical outcomes, in patients with non-psychotic major depressive disorder.
Method: 52 consenting patients with confirmed diagnosis of major depression were randomly assigned to a group (n = 32) who received systematized psychoeducation for depression, and to a waiting group (n = 20) who received standard care. The intervention group received systematic education consisting of (i) Reading material, "depression manual", and (ii) individual or groups educational sessions. The primary clinical outcome measures included the clinician rated quick inventory of depressive symptomatology (QIDS-C) and the self-rated quick inventory of depressive symptomatology (QIDS-SR). Patients in both groups completed QIDS-SR, and the knowledge seeking behavior instrument (KSI), at baseline, at 4th, 8th and 12th weeks.
Results: At 12th week, there was significant (p less than 0.01) reduction in the (QIDS-CR) and the (QIDS-SR) scores in both the intervention and waiting group patients. However, there were significant differences between the two groups, with the superiority for the intervention group in reduction of depressive symptoms. The number of hours spent in knowledge seeking as measured by the (KSI), correlated negatively with the scores of QIDS-SR, and QIDS-CR.
Conclusion: Systematized education may lead to significant reduction in clinical symptomatology, and to improved knowledge seeking behavior.

Interactions Among the Main Characteristics of Open Building Systems
Authors: Hosseini Mostafa , Ibrahim Izni Syahrizal , Rahnama Hamed , Kiani Iman , Ghasemi Maryam
Published: May 2022

Constant need-for-change in the construction market and social trends has resulted in the demand for more adaptable building systems. The ability to practise and accommodate change has consequently become a new necessity for buildings. Adaptability, therefore, is to be considered in both the pre-construction stage and the entire life cycle of the construction. The further civilization develops, the more we need to take advantage of the Open Building Systems (OBS) concept, introduced to the construction industry almost 70 years ago. However, conventional methods are still common due to the lack of knowledge in OBS, resistance to change, monopoly of conventional building materials manufacturing, insufficient legislation, and lack of end-user’s awareness. The ability to practise and accommodate changes has consequently become a new necessity for building construction. This research aims to address the interactions among the influential factors of OBS. The initial move was to identify and verify the significant open building influential factors in a conceptual model based on previous relevant literature. Then the second step was to find the interactions between the variables through the Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) technique. The results indicate that one of the most significant and main factors is the "Level of Independence", and the main cause factor identified was "Standardization (St)", which had a major role in the success of construction OBS performance.

Authors: Jasim Karrar. A. , Al-Azzawi Amer K. , Kadhim Talib. J. , AL-Ajeeli Karim S.
Published: May 2022

Background and Aim: One of the primary pathogenic causes linked to economic losses in the chicken business is the infectious bronchitis virus. This virus exploited its S (spike) gene-encoded protein to hook into the host receptor. The biological diversity of the viral S gene may be linked to the chicken industry's vaccination status. Recently, the virus was detected in broilers of six farms located in different districts of Diyala Governorate by the use of RT-PCR. The current study aimed to explore the pattern of biological diversity of infectious bronchitis viruses based on the possibility of genetic variations of the S gene. Materials and Methods: Ten tissue samples were collected from broilers of six farms located in different districts of Diyala Governorate and named R1 to R10. The chickens were recently vaccinated, but naturally infected with infectious bronchitis virus; a particular RT-PCR fragment partially encompassing the coding domains of the S gene was recently obtained. The amplified fragments were immediately submitted to direct sequencing tests to examine the genetic variation pattern in the samples acquired from various chicken sources. Then unique comprehensive trees were generated to validate the correct genotyping of the identified variations and their phylogenetic distribution.
Immunoglobulin use in childhood epilepsy
Authors: Elsayed Wael , Khattab Yara A. , Khattab Reham A.
Published: May 2022

Background: Epilepsy's aetiology is well-known to include an immune component. Several clinical and laboratory research have discovered abnormalities in epileptic patients' immune system branches when compared to the general population. Such anomalies include immunoglobulin deficiencies (mainly immunoglobulin A and immunoglobulin G2), an increased prevalence of specific human leukocyte antigen types, and alterations in cytokine and interleukin profiles. In people with epilepsy, autoantibodies were discovered against glutamic acid decarboxylase, components of the voltage-gated potassium channel complex, and the N-methyl-D-aspartate, gamma-aminobutyric acid, a-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4 isoxazolepropionic acid, and glutamate receptor three receptors. Immune modulating drugs like corticosteroids and corticotrophin have also been demonstrated to help with seizures. In view of these findings, immunosuppressive medicine has potential as an add-on therapy for refractory epilepsy. Aim: We aimed to evaluate the efficacy of immunoglobulin in childhood epilepsy. Conclusion: Despite the fact that new medications are constantly being developed to treat intractable infantile epilepsy, the refractory rate remains high. Despite several investigations on the subject, predictive variables for a good intravenous immunoglobulin response have yet to be identified. In some epileptic disorders, such as idiopathic West syndrome and electrical status epilepticus during sleep, intravenous immunoglobulin appears to be beneficial.
Effect of parent-child relationships on the self esteem of the children with learning disabilities
Authors: Ahmad Syed Muaz , Ansari Shadab Ahmad
Published: May 2022

Learning disabilities often run in families. There might be a learning disorder if a particular area of learning consistently produces trouble. Children with learning disabilities are often stigmatized due to learning delays and challenges with their academics and associated with failure, which lowers their self-esteem. In India, approximately 13 to 14 per cent of all school children suffer from learning disorders and 12.5%, 11.2% and 10.5% have dysgraphia, dyslexia and dyscalculia respectively. Individuals with learning disabilities experience social, emotional and motivational hardships more severely than someone who does not have a learning disability. When a child has a learning disability, social cues can be misinterpreted. Children with learning disabilities need special attention due to their educational needs. A child with a learning disability will experience negative emotions towards their lack of control of their external environment. Specialists and parents can help children with learning disabilities achieve such success by encouraging their strengths, knowing their weaknesses, understanding the educational system, working with professionals and learning about strategies for dealing with specific difficulties.
Market failures and costs of intermediation cause obstacles to the delivery of transactions
Authors: Alrashidi Abdulaziz Marzouq
Published: May 2022

To understand economic growth, this paper looks at transaction costs and how they affect how much money people make. It shows transaction costs, market failure, and economic underdevelopment. Many people think that the problems with development are because markets can't do their job of allocating resources. Some people don't believe that the market doesn't work and blame the government instead. If you look at the people who say that market failure is the root of economic backwardness, very few, if any, look at transaction costs and how they are linked to market failure. People who read this paper want to connect development economics with transaction cost theory and new institutional analysis.

Materials and Methods: Three different commercially available root canal sealers namely - AH-Plus (Dentsply), MTA Fillapex (Angelus, bioceramic sealer) and Sealapex sealer (Kerr) were evaluated for their antimicrobial potential against Enterococcus faecalis (E.faecalis )using agar diffusion method. Wells were formed in the agar plates by removing agar at equal distance and then, filled with the endodontic sealers- AH Plus, Sealapex and MTA Fillapex. Standard antibiotic disc of co-trimoxazole was kept as a control. Petri dishes were inoculated at 37 ℃ at a time interval of 24 and 48 hours. The diameter of growth of inhibition zone were measured by using Antibiotic zone scale (HIMEDIA). The difference between the groups were evaluated by one -way ANOVA and intergroup evaluation was done by Tukey’s post hic test. Result: AH-Plus sealer showed larger zone of inhibition as compared to sealapex and MTA Fillapex sealer against E.faecalis at 24 and 48 hours. Co- trimoxazole used as control exhibited the highest antimicrobial efficacy against E.faecalis at 24 and 48 hour. MTA Fillapex showed least antimicrobial action.

Published: May 2022

This paper aims to analyze their perception of the new trend in the field of education. With the trend in education that moved from classroom teaching to digital platforms, are these personnel aware of its usage or are they finding it difficult to handle? Most elderly personnel are not much aware of this pedagogy, therefore this study also aims to concentrate on the perception and awareness of such teachers during the post-pandemic situation. The study is conducted on a random sampling method by using simple statistical tools for analysis. A total of 520 samples were collected, out of which only 450 samples were selected for analysis. The researcher evaluates the relationship between perception and the awareness of teachers on using an online platform. To study this relation the researcher considered certain variables such as job satisfaction level, work convenience, work easiness, accessibility, technology, performance, time savings, and effectiveness. It is found that the impact of the digital platform is directly related to the satisfaction level of teachers and the study also highlights the fact that the satisfaction level on a digital platform is related to the age category of the respondents.

Study the effect of natural killer cells in pationts with blood cancer disease from other when the injury-infected corona emerging
Authors: Kadhem Raghad Ridha , Kareem Hiyam Abdel Ridha
Published: May 2022

Lymphocytes and subgroups of natural killer cells (CD16 and CD56) play an important role in maintaining the function of the immune system. After infection with COVID-19, the total number of lymphocytes and subgroups changes, indicating a possible association between lymphocyte subgroup change and causative mechanisms.  For viral diseases, the study showed a clear decrease in peripheral lymphocytes in patients with coronavirus-19. The reason may be attachment to the virus or indirectly due to immune injuries from inflammatory mediators. It is possible that the secretion of lymphocytes circulating in inflammatory lung tissues also leads to lymphocytopenia.  And the viral infection can cause an imbalance in the levels of lymphocyte subgroups, as the cell surface molecules of CD16 and CD56 natural killer cells participate in the humoral and cytotoxic immunity against viral infection, where a decrease in the level of these cells was observed less in severe cases compared to mild cases.  Patients with lymphocytic leukemia often suffer from weak immune status When they are exposed to risk factors for contracting COVID-19.

Published: May 2022

Background: The ultimate goal of root canal treatment is prevention or healing of apical periodontitis. The use of biologically active materials to seal root canal systems has been extensively proposed in contemporary endodontics to realise this goal. There are several commercial formulations of bioceramics available based on minor variations in composition which could have potentially important changes in properties in the clinical situation. This narrative review serves to provide brief information on the different formulations of bioactive ceramics that are available to a dentist. Aim: To give an overview of bioceramics used in endodontics, their classification, advantages and disadvantages. This review also gives insights about each biomaterial in detail and its use in endodontics. Review Results: Continuous innovations have led to bioceramics showing a variety of applications in both endodontic and restorative dentistry. While MTA was the benchmark in bioceramics materials, material advances have constantly tried to overcome disadvantages and improve its properties. Conclusion: Bioceramics now have a wide array of applications both in endodontics and restorative dentistry. However, considering the biological advantages of bioceramics materials, their use in multiple paradigms of endodontic therapy appears to be the future.

Published: May 2022

Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disorder characterised by chronic hyperglycaemia and metabolic consequences caused by insulin defects. Adipose tissue is an endocrine organ that influences glucose and lipid metabolism by releasing adipokines; adipose tissue is vital for the life of mammals. It represents the major source of fatty acid. Brown adipose tissue (BAT) and white adipose tissue (WAT) are the basic adipose tissue forms.  They have different functions and cellular compositions and localization. They are essentially adversarial in terms of functionality. WAT is known to contain the most body fat; its involvement in the storage of excess dietary triglycerides. It is the source of free fatty aid used as energy substrates for the generation through oxidative phosphate of (ATP) high-energy bonds. During insulin resistance, the secretion of the hormone from the pancreatic islet cells cannot trigger glucose uptake in metabolic tissues, leading to elevated blood glucose and insulin levels. Menthone is cyclic monoterpenes and is reported to have several biological activities. This study, explores the potential antidiabetic effects invitro of menthone in the 3T3L1 adipocytes. Methods: The differentiation of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes into mature adipocytes were cultured and maintained.

Background: Medication and steroid injection therapy only help to reduce the pain, but exercise is effective as a treatment for regaining function in addition to reduction of pain in tendinopathy.  Tendinopathy is a major medical problem. It can be defined as a syndrome of tendon pain, localized tenderness, and swelling that impairs performance. In chronic tendinopathy thee is an increasing degree of degeneration with little or no inflammation present. The application of PRP has been documented in many fields. First promoted by M. Ferrari in 1987 as an autologous transfusion component after an open heart operation to avoid homologous blood product transfusion, there are now over 5200 entries in the NCBI for PRP ranging in fields from orthopaedics, sports medicine, dentistry, otolaryngology, neurosurgery, ophthalmology, urology, wound healing, cosmetic, cardiothoracic and maxillofacial surgery. Materials and Methods: Our prospective study conducted in the Department of Orthopaedics, Maharaja Agrasen Medical College, Agroha, Haryana, India. Patients with chronic tendinopathy like supraspinatus tendinopathy, patellar tendinopathy, tendo A chilles tendinopathy, planter fasciitis, medial epicondylar tendinopathy, lateral epicondylar tendinopathy came to our hospital included in the study after obtaining their informed consent.

"The area of transportation planning deals with transportation facilities (usually streets, roads, walkways, bike lanes, and public transit lines)." It is vital to assess the present state of traffic volume and anticipate the future state of traffic volume in this field traffic volume survey. The purpose of traffic volume studies is to determine the number, movement, and categories of highway vehicles in a given region. An attempt was made to grasp traffic patterns throughout various time periods using data collection. The characteristics of the traffic flow at that crossroads also have an impact on traffic control. As a consequence, the study's findings are valuable in controlling traffic at the intersection and giving some corrective measures to improve traffic safety in the region. Based on the findings, corrective actions such as road widening or enhanced public transit may be recommended.

Diabetes Mellitus is a most common metabolic disease globally. According to World health organization diabetes is one of the leading causes of deaths in world, and with an estimate of 415 million people suffering from it. According to the studies it is said that by the year 2030 India will have around 1 million patients suffering from Type-II diabetes. Diabetes has several complications related to itself .The impact of the diabetes over the various organs such as heart, kidney, eyes, peripheral nerves, blood vessels leads to coronary heart disease, ischemic problems, renal diseases, diabetic foot, and nerve damage. Diabetic complications such as heart and strokes account for 65% of diabetic deaths. More than 30% of the diabetic population suffers from diabetic nephropathy. Prediction of these diabetic complications at an earlier stage would help with the disease management, prevention of prognosis of the disease and help reduce the economic burden. This can be done using the data analysis method. In this paper a novel method to find out the diabetic diseases using the blood parameters of the patients such as HbA1C, serum cholesterol, serum albumin and others is done.

Among these least concern issues death due to drinking of contaminated water or ingestion of food come in contact with polluted water holds a major percentage. The study was conducted to determine the quality of water contamination trend in Goalpara district of Assam. The presence of fecal and total coliform were tested by Most Probable Number as well as Membrane filtration tests (MF) to rule out any chance of missing out any positive sample. During the study we identified the causative agent which contaminates the water in the targeted district of Assam, India. Water samples were collected from drinking water supplies and from routine household chores. During the study, evidence of microorganisms such as Escherichia coli, Streptococci, Staphylococci and Klebsiella were found. Escherichia coli were isolated from most numbers of samples, whereas Shigella spp. has the lowest contamination rate. The water with highest contamination rate was from Rangjuli development block and Lakhipur development block gave the lowest water contamination rate. The most prevalent bacteria were Escherichia coli.
