When patients receive root canal therapy and have their canals left open for drainage, finding foreign items in the pulp chamber or root canal is not uncommon. Concluding the nature, location, and difficulty of retrieving the foreign body require a thorough patient history, clinical examination, and radiographic inspection. Children are more likely to experience this kind of incident since they frequently put strange things in their mouths. The foreign objects could potentially cause an infection, which could then result in a painful condition. This unique example of a metallic pin and several nail fragments extracted from a patient's root canal who had a nail-biting habit is reported.

Authors: Lee Minseo , Son Sujin , Lim Hyunjung J. , Song Haengseok
Published: May 2024

Objective: Autophagy is a major intracellular catabolic pathway governed by the sequential actions of proteins encoded by autophagy-related genes (Atg). ATG9, the only transmembrane protein involved in this process, regulates phospholipid translocation to autophagosomes during the early phases of autophagy. In mammals, two Atg9 isoforms have been reported: Atg9a and Atg9b. In this study, we examined whether the molecular and cellular characteristics of these two isoforms differed in mice.Methods: Whole uteri were collected on days 1, 4, and 8 of pregnancy and from ovariectomized mice injected with vehicle, progesterone, or 17β-estradiol. Cells from reproductive tissues, such as granulosa cells, uterine epithelial cells (UECs), uterine stromal cells (USCs), and oocytes were collected. Two human uterine cell lines were also used in this analysis. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction tests, Western blotting, and immunofluorescence staining were performed. Serum starvation conditions were used to induce autophagy in primary cells. Results: Atg9a and Atg9b were expressed in multiple mouse tissues and reproductive cells. Neither Atg9A nor Atg9B significantly changed in response to steroid hormones. Immunofluorescence staining of the UECs and USCs showed that ATG9A was distributed in a punctate-like pattern, whereas ATG9B exhibited a pattern of elongated tubular shapes in the cytoplasm. In human cancer cell lines, ATG9B was undetectable, whereas ATG9A was found in all cell types examined. Conclusion: The Atg9 isoforms exhibited distinct subcellular localizations in UECs and may play different roles in autophagy. Notably, human uterine cells exhibited reduced ATG9B expression, suggesting that this suppression may be due to epigenetic regulation.

Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting in High-Risk Patients: On-Pump Beating-Heart CABG
Authors: Nenna Antonio , Ferrisi Chiara , Salsano Antonio , Lusini Mario , Santini Francesco , Chello Massimo
Published: May 2024

The tailored surgical approach in high-risk patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) still remains debated. Each classic operative technique has strengths and limitations: on-pump CABG entails the use of cardiopulmonary bypass and cardioplegic arrest, while off-pump “beating heart” CABG is technically challenging and might pose problems in case of preoperative hemodynamic impairment or recent myocardial infarction. The hybrid approach of on-pump beating-heart CABG (OPBHC) has been proposed over the years as an acceptable trade-off in cases of severe complications caused by cardioplegic arrest or manipulation of the heart. This chapter intends to summarize the available literature about OPBHC, considering both original contributions and secondary research papers, trying to define operative indications and future perspectives. OPBHC, preventing hemodynamic deterioration while sustaining adequate end-organ perfusion, has been gradually recognized as an effective technique for performing surgical revascularization in high-risk patients, such as those presenting with acute coronary syndrome, cardiogenic shock, or severe left ventricular dysfunction. In selected cases, OPBHC reduces in-hospital mortality and decreases the risk of perioperative complications such as myocardial ischemia or stroke and should be considered a valid alternative to conventional off-pump and on-pump CABG techniques. OPBHC should be in the armamentarium of the next-generation cardiac surgeon.

Published: May 2024

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) have significant impacts on global public health, necessitating a deep understanding of their transmission dynamics and risk factors. Given the high prevalence in Pakistan and the critical role of healthcare education, this study aimed to assess medical students’ knowledge of transmission risk factors and common myths and misconceptions about HBV and HCV. An exploratory study was conducted in May 2022 at Rai Medical College, Sargodha, Pakistan. A total of 376 undergraduate medical students were recruited using a convenient sampling technique. Participants completed self-administered questionnaires to assess their knowledge of HBV and HCV transmission risk factors and associated myths and misconceptions. The data were analyzed for frequencies and percentages with SPSS version 25.00. The majority of students accurately identified traditional transmission pathways for HBV, with 78.72% recognizing transmission during pregnancy and 73.14% during delivery. However, knowledge about nontraditional transmission routes and household practices was less robust, with only 60.64% acknowledging the risks of sharing nail cutters. For HCV, knowledge was generally lower, with 62.77% recognizing the risk associated with tattooing. Misconceptions were also prevalent; for instance, 53.99% of students mistakenly believed that HBV could be transmitted through the home care of patients. This study highlights significant knowledge gaps and pervasive misconceptions among medical students regarding HBV and HCV transmission. Despite a good grasp of traditional risk factors, the widespread misunderstanding of nonbloodborne transmission routes underscores the urgent need for enhanced educational interventions. The findings suggest that targeted improvements in curriculum design could better equip future healthcare providers to combat hepatitis effectively.
Philosophical Foundations of Polygamous Marriage in Islam from Various Aspects
Authors: Wahyu Abdul Jafar
Published: May 2024

This research aims to explain the philosophical basis of Polygamy in the Islamic religion in detail through several approaches. This research is included in the literature review category. The data collection technique is the documentation technique, while the analysis technique is the Miles and Huberman analysis technique. The source triangulation method was used to validate and authenticate the data obtained in this research. After conducting in-depth research, several important conclusions were found: first, from a legal philosophy perspective, Polygamy can be carried out because there is an underlying legal umbrella, but the ability to carry out Polygamy must be based on several provisions. Polygamy in Indonesia has been regulated by the promulgation of Law Number 1 of 1974 and Government Regulation Number 9 of 1975. Second, from a psychological philosophy perspective, Polygamy should not be carried out haphazardly. The polygamy process must also meet justice criteria. In families that practice Polygamy, wives usually experience inner pressure, such as jealousy, personality conflicts, competition, and children's displeasure towards different mothers. Therefore, it is necessary to fulfill the elements of justice to minimize the emergence of negative things. Third, from a sociological and philosophical perspective, Polygamy currently still has pros and cons in society. Many people still consider Polygamy to be a negative act, even though there is a negative stigma given to the perpetrators. Fourth, from an economic philosophy, many second wives from polygamous families do not have the right to fulfill their living needs, both physical and spiritual.

Introduction
The world is infected with a new strain of the coronavirus family known as COVID-19. This virus strain attacked several organs in the human body, causing symptoms ranging from mild to severe and, in some cases, life-threatening. Multiple organs, including the eye, can get infected.
Methods
The study was a single-center prospective cross-sectional study that included patients with a recent COVID-19 infection. The study was conducted in the ophthalmology department of Erbil Teaching Hospital in Erbil City from June 2021 to April 2022. The participants were recruited from the outpatient clinic in a non-probability convenience sampling way.
Results
The study included 75 patients. The most common ocular disease encountered in COVID-19 patients was posterior subcapsular cataract (12, 16.0%). Their ages are between 26 and 56 years old. The cataract developed in twelve patients (12, 16.0%), and it was bilateral in nine cases (18 eyes) with a varying degree of density. The next most common manifestation was multiple punctate epitheliopathy found in nine patients, which was bilateral in all of them. Follicular conjunctivitis was encountered in eight patients; it resolved in a period of 5 to 8 days after the prescription of topical anti-inflammatory medications.
Conclusion
COVID-19 infection is a multi-systemic disease that can cause a variety of ocular clinical symptoms and complications. Blurred vision and conjunctivitis-like features are the most common ocular presentations of the infection.

Introduction
Thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) is a set of symptoms that arise when neurovascular bundles are compressed in the course of passage through three spaces: the costoclavicular junction, the scalene triangle, and the pectoralis minor space. This study aims to review the literature regarding the proper management of recurrent TOS.
Methods
We conducted a systematic literature search using various databases up to December 20, 2022. The study included those articles in which the symptoms were regarded as recurrent if TOS-related symptoms like pain and/or discomfort recurred following an initial resolution of symptoms. Multiple data were gathered from the included studies, including the publication year, first author, country, sex, age, type of primary intervention, duration of physiotherapy, type of reoperation, compressing structures, and the outcome.
Results
The study included 14 articles. Two of the articles were case reports, 10 were case series, and the remaining were cohort studies. A total of 686 patients were included, of whom 506 (73.7%) were female. The ages ranged from 17 to 79 years, with varying means across the age groups. Nine out of 14 (64%) studies reported the first rib remnant as one of the causative factors in the recurrence of TOS. Excellent or good results were reported in 474 (69%) patients.
Conclusion
Recurrent TOS is a relatively common finding after primary treatment for neurogenic TOS. Management is similar to primary TOS, including conservative management and surgical intervention. The latter should not be delayed if conservative treatment fails.

This research aims to provide an overview of the condition of the F&B industry in Indonesia by examining the impact of liquidity and company size on firm value. This quantitative and associative study utilizes non-participant observation to collect data from the official IDX website (www.idx.co.id) and relevant company websites, focusing on financial reports for analysis. The population consists of F&B companies listed on the IDX from 2018 to 2022. Using purposive sampling, 29 companies were selected, resulting in a total of 145 observations over five years. Data analysis was conducted using the E-Views application. The results indicate that both liquidity and company size have a positive and significant effect on firm value. Recommendations for company management include optimizing inventory to ensure smooth operations and minimizing storage costs. Investors are advised to consider liquidity ratios, such as the current ratio and quick ratio, to assess a company's ability to meet short-term obligations. Future research should incorporate additional variables such as leverage, capital structure, and governance, employing both qualitative and quantitative approaches to gain a deeper understanding of these relationships. Comparing results across different contexts can also enhance understanding.
The Duties of the Guardian about the Mentally Retarded: Comparative Study of Qur'an and Afghanistan Civil Law
Authors: Jalal Marhamat , Momand Mirwais
Published: May 2024

Idiot refers to a person who does not have the ability to manage his own finances, whether he is a young child or a person who has low intelligence or is mentally disabled in general. The Holy Qur'an has not allowed these people to enter and occupy their property due to the possibility of loss. On the other hand, the Qur'an has also mentioned the preservation of the human dignity of these people. In Afghanistan civil law, mentally disabled people or so-called fools are referred to with the word Mahjoor and, like the Holy Quran, they are not allowed to enter and occupy their property. Both in the Qur'an and in the law, the choice of a guardian or guardian has been given, and the powers of their property have been entrusted to the guardian. Using descriptive and analytical methods, this article has analyzed the defined responsibility of society towards mentally retarded people as a subset of Safha in the Qur'an and the Afghan Civil Code. Finally, it was found that there are shortcomings in Afghan’s civil rights against the daily needs of mentally challenged people, which are generally mentioned in the Qur'an, but ignored in the law.

Authors: Vela Esther , Henao Daniela , Serrano Laura , Martín Laura
Published: May 2024

Background: Intellectual disability is a disorder of intellectual development that, due to its characteristics, involves a series of limitations in cognitive functioning and generalization of learning. These difficulties can evolve with appropriate intervention, which can enhance the quality of life of these people and their families.
Objectives: The study seeks to determine the quality of life of people with intellectual disabilities in general and in its different dimensions, taking into account the perception of the person with a disability and that of his/her family.
Methods: This study focuses on a specific field: higher education for people with intellectual disabilities. It uses a sample of 19 young people and their 19 corresponding families to determine whether there are significant differences between the two groups, i.e., parents and children. The INICO-FEAPS tool was used to achieve these objectives.
Results: The data obtained, and their subsequent analysis have allowed us to detect medium-high levels of quality of life and significant differences between the indices of both groups, highlighting higher scores in the case of families. In addition, self-determination has been revealed as the dimension with the lowest scores, followed by social inclusion and interpersonal relationships.
Conclusion: This makes it possible, at the professional level, to focus on these aspects and become aware of the necessary measures to improve intervention in the educational and family environment.
Impact of price-responsive load and volt-VAr on power quality,
losses, and customer economics :
Authors: Holmberg David , Roth Thomas
Published: May 2024

This report presents insights into the impact of distributed energy
resources (DER) price-responsive behavior on voltage for a distribution grid with
significant customer-owned solar photovoltaics (PV) and batteries in addition to
price-responsive heat pumps and water heaters. Price responsive loads result in more
variable power flows and voltages. While peak load is reduced, significant amount of
flexibility (load response) in this distribution grid increases the total power flow
and voltage variation across the day while reducing hosting capacity. That is, while
the loads on the grid provide significant flexibility to the bulk grid, this
flexibility comes at the expense of voltage variability and significant power flow
changes and even reverse power flows at the substation.

Challenges Faced by Vietnam and Other Developing Countries in Participating in the WTO Dispute Settlement System (DSS)
Authors: Dung Phan Do Thuy
Published: May 2024

The World Trade Organization (WTO) is currently experiencing a crisis in its dispute system, driven by an increasing number of disputes, escalating complexity of case law, and the ongoing blockade by the United States of Appellate Body appointments since 2016. This blockade has resulted in significant delays in the WTO’s litigation process, disproportionately affecting developing countries - majority members of the WTO - due to the substantial financial costs associated with pursuing litigation. This study aims to analyze the challenges faced by Vietnam and other developing nations in navigating the WTO dispute system. Employing a qualitative methodology, this research will draw on primary sources including legal documents, official WTO reports, and governmental statements. The findings are expected to highlight the limitations of current WTO regulations, the inadequate support from the Advisory Centre on WTO Law (ACWL), and the financial obstacles that deter developing countries from participating actively in the Dispute Settlement System.

Interest of student is very Significant in open and distance learning (ODL) education because of its profound influence on pedagogical implications. Extensive research has been conducted on the interest of science students in ODL during the post-pandemic period. However, understanding religious students’ interests holds particular significance because of their unique beliefs, values, and needs. Therefore, a case study was conducted to investigate the interest of religious students in online education and identify the factors influencing their interest. A total of 123 undergraduate students from the Faculty of Quranic and Sunnah Studies at the Islamic Science University of Malaysia participated in this study. All of them are third- and fourth-year students with experience in online learning. Data were collected using a structured Google form and analysed using appropriate statistical methods to gain insights into the participants’ interests and opinions. The results revealed that 85.4% of students had a positive attitude toward online learning, whereas 14.6% had an unfavourable attitude. Additionally, 73.2% preferred traditional learning, while 26.8% preferred online learning. Furthermore, 44.7% believed that online learning provided the same quality as traditional education, whereas 55.3% disagreed. These findings have significant implications for the development and implementation of future online learning strategies in Islamic education.
A proof of concept on implant-supported bilateral cantilever bridges: The T-Bridge approach

Published: May 2024

The concept of bilateral cantilevers on a single central implant (T-design) for three-unit implant-supported fixed dental prostheses (ISFDPs) has not been explored nor tested. This technical hypothesis aimed to explore the feasibility of such an approach as a cost-effective alternative to conventional treatments. Careful considerations regarding implant diameter, length, ideal position, occlusal scheme, and bone remodeling are essential to ensure adequate support, stability, and prevention of complications. In this proof of concept, we present a preliminary case with this novel design to replace missing posterior teeth in a patient with narrow bone conditions. In addition, a series of planned investigations and preliminary results, including preclinical studies, are presented to illustrate our concept and its potential clinical implications. Clinically, after two-year follow-up, healthy and stable peri-implant tissues around the ISFDP exemplarily demonstrated excellent stability, functionality, and comfort, which is supported by acceptable fracture resistance data in vitro, suggesting indeed the practical potential and suitability. Thus, we claim that such a treatment modality has the at least theoretical potential to revolutionize implant dentistry by providing innovative and cost-effective treatment options for patients with partial ISFDPs in very specific cases. Of course, further research and evaluations are necessary to validate the clinical implications of this innovative hypothesis. Implementing the 3-on-1 T-bridge approach in partial ISFDPs could offer a promising alternative to traditional methods. If proven successful, this technique may lead to significant advancements in clinical practice, providing a less invasive cost-effective treatment option.
