Introduction The heterogeneity of head and neck cancers poses challenges in treatment planning, necessitating a nuanced approach.Materials and methods We have carried out a literature review that highlights the risk factors in the onset of oral and head and neck cancers. We also addressed the therapeutic aspects and the influence of epigenetics.Results In identifying risk factors, our literature research highlights systemic causes such as age, gender, heredity, race, socio-economic status, and immunodeficiency. Local causes, including tobacco and alcohol use, chronic traumas, chronic infections, and the role of viruses, underscore the multifactorial nature of oral cancer etiology. Addressing prevention strategies, our review underscores the potential of probiotics in suppressing oral cancer cell proliferation, with specific strains demonstrating efficacy in reducing mucositis caused by radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Additionally, the role of vitamins, omega-3 fatty acids, and compounds like curcumin in chemoprevention is explored. The Mediterranean diet emerges as a potential preventive measure, given its association with reduced cancer risk due to its rich content of monounsaturated fatty acids, antioxidants, and dietary fiber. Conclusions In conclusion, the intricate interplay of various risk factors underscores the multifactorial nature of oral cancer, with systemic and local influences contributing to its onset and progression. Age, gender, heredity, race, socio-economic status, immunodeficiency, and lifestyle choices such as tobacco, alcohol, and poor oral hygiene collectively elevate the risk. Specific chronic infections, the role of viruses, and even certain medications further contribute to the complexity of this disease.

Published: January 2025

Aberrant PI3K/AKT/mTOR/ pathway have been considered one of the starting points of various types of human cancer, including the oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). The important role played by this signaling pathway in oncogenesis and cancer evolution, oriented the researchers’ attention toward studies of AKT and the PI3K/AKT/mTOR axis in the context of malignant transformation of oral precancerous lesions. Consequently, this article’s aim is an update of the possible key role played by the PI3K /AKT/mTOR axis on the oral lesions’ malignant transformation stage.
Oral potentially malignant disorders are defined as lesions that will most probably progress to malignant lesions of the oral cavity. These lesions are mainly represented by leukoplakia, erythroplakia, actinic cheilitis and lichen planus.
PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling cascade should be regarded as a crucial subject for additional research, focusing not only on the early identification of malignant transformations of oral lesions, but also on opening new therapeutic ways in order to prevent malignant transformation and OSCC evolution.

The importance of preserving dental tissues together with the evolution of dental techniques and materials has led to advances in the field of endodontics and new principles in tooth restoration. Endodontically treated teeth are more prone to fracture and endodontically treated abutment teeth have a lower survival rate compared to vital abutment teeth. The aim of this study was to establish the evolution of teeth with endodontic treatment in a group of patients from Craiova, the frequency of various forms of failure of endodontic treatment and to identify the factors that contributed to the failure or success of endodontic treatment. Materials and Methods: This study was carried out based on the clinical and radiological examination and the consultation of the treatment sheets of some patients who came for treatment in the Dental Prosthetics Clinic of the Faculty of Dental Medicine of the University of Medicine and Pharmacy Craiova. The general technical quality of the endodontic treatment was evaluated based on the guidelines published by the European Society of Endodontology, following the radiological appearance of the root canal obturation as well as the presence of periapical lesions. The periapical index (PAI) proposed by Orstavik et al. was used to assess the periapical condition of teeth with root canal fillings. Results: The most common indications for endodontic treatment were irreversible pulpitis (64.05%) and endodontic treatment for prosthetic purposes (23.72%). Periapical lesions were observed in 33.4% of all endodontically treated teeth. Periapical lesions were observed in 35.2% of endodontically treated abutment teeth compared to 7.1% of vital abutment teeth. Conclusions: The most common indications for endodontic treatment were irreversible pulpitis and endodontic treatment for prosthetic purposes. Endodontic treatments for prosthetic purpose were very frequent although there are clear recommendations against it. Periapical complications were recorded in a higher proportion in case of abutment teeth.

At the beginning of the COVID-19 outbreak, children appeared to be less susceptible to SARS-CoV-2 infection than adults or more prone to develop asymptomatic and mild forms of the disease, which could have led to an underestimation of epidemiological data in young patients. Age-related differences in viral receptor expression, immune system competence, and comorbidity rates partially explained the lower prevalence of COVID-19 infection in pediatric patients. However, especially after the spread of the Omicron virus variant and due to the relaxation of social and health measures, the number of young people infected with SARS-CoV-2 has increased. The aim of the conducted study was to investigate periodontal clinical parameters, represented by plaque index, probing bleeding index and clinical periodontal attachment loss in pediatric patients, along with a series of demographic parameters, in the post-SARS-CoV-2 infection period. Conclusions: Our study provided evidence of widespread declines in periodontal health status and access to oral health care among children post-SARS-CoV-2 infection. Subjects with a lower amount of plaque showed a high intensity of periodontal inflammation, negatively correlated with time since diagnosis, a fact that supports the influence of the cytokine storm released post-SARS-CoV-2 infection and at the periodontal level.

The correlation between the high incidence of oro-dental pathologies (periodontitis, oral cancer) and the increased level of ROS in the human body have led to the need to use alternative treatments, namely to the use of active principles from medicinal plants that have a considerable antioxidant effect, thus reducing the risk of producing these oro-dental pathologies. In this sense, some of the bioactive compounds present in medicinal plants such as turmeric acid extracted from Curcuma longa, polyphenolic compounds extracted from Camellia sinensis, apigenin extracted from Moringa oleifera, timolol extracted from Thymus vulgaris, etc. are already used in oral care products, giving consumers the opportunity to capitalize on the therapeutic properties of natural plant extracts. Although many medicinal plants exhibit remarkable antioxidant properties, observed in vitro studies, when switching to in vivo studies these antioxidant properties are no longer similar due to interference between physiopharmacological processes such as absorption, metabolism, excretion. Therefore, additional studies are needed to prove even more clearly the antioxidant capacities of medicinal plants and implicitly their applicability in the prevention of oro-dental pathologies.

The study aimed to present the characteristics of the three most prevalent oral potentially malignant disorders, leukoplakia, oral lichen planus (OLP), and actinic cheilitis, using data from 62 patients collected at the “Sfântul Spiridon” Emergency Clinical Hospital in Iași, Romania, between January 2015 and January 2023. The results revealed a higher prevalence of these lesions among older adults, particularly those over 50 years old, and a significant gender disparity in the incidence of actinic cheilitis, which was more common in males (68%). Leukoplakia was frequently observed on the tongue and lower lip, whereas OLP commonly affected the buccal mucosa. Actinic cheilitis was primarily noted on the lower lip, attributed to chronic sun exposure. The study highlighted the importance of early detection and regular monitoring of these conditions to prevent malignant transformation.

The aim of study was to assess the periapical area and the distribution of CBCT-PAI indices in root-filled teeth with chronic periapical lesions. Materials and method. The cross-sectional study included 78 patients (gender: 24 males, 54 females; mean age 49.13  14.596 yrs.) with 181 root-filled teeth diagnosed with apical periodontitis (AP) (mean follow-up of 5.49  1.831 yrs.). Patients were selected from those treated in a private dental clinic. Clinical examination and CBCT assessment of the root and its periapical area were performed to evaluate the severity of apical periodontitis by PAI-CBCT scores. CBCT images were obtained using PaX-Uni3D (TVAPANO04, VATECH). The periapical lesions diameter was measured in coronal-apical, mesial-distal and buccal-oral sections using the Ez3D 2009 Plus software application. CBCT parameters were set for 20 second exposure time, 85 kV, 5mA. CBCT-PAI scores were assessed by statistical analysis within study group in relation to various parameters (sociodemographic, local factors, type and quality of coronal restoration and root-canal fillings). Failure of endodontic treatment was defined by CBCT-PAI scores 3-5. Results. The distribution of CBCT-PAI indices was as follows: 50,8% of teeth with CBCT-PAI 1-2, 19,3% of teeth with CBCT-PAI 3; 29,9% of teeth with CBCT-PAI 4-5. Failure of endodontic treatment (CBCT-PAI 3-5) was detected in 49,2% of the root-filled teeth. Highly significant statistical differences were found in the distribution of CBCT-PAI indices related to age groups, follow-up, dental-group, quality of coronal restoration, quality of endodontic treatment. Conclusions. CBCT-PAI scores 3-5 were detected in 49,2% of the root-filled teeth with sign of chronic periapical lesions. Highly significant statistical differences were found in the distribution of CBCT-PAI 3-5 indices related to age groups, follow-up, dental group, quality of coronal restoration and endodontic treatment.

Aim of the study The purpose of our study is to present the clinical aspects of gingival overgrowth induced by orthodontic therapy and to highlight the tissue changes of this gingival lesion. Materials and methods Biopsies of the gingival mucosa were taken from subjects diagnosed with gingival overgrowth and who were undergoing orthodontic therapy. The gingival mucosa samples were processed in the histology laboratory of University of Medicine and Pharmacy Craiova and the usual histological staining (hematoxylin-eosin) was performed. Results Gingival overgrowth (GO) is a condition characterized by an increase in gingival size, often observed in patients undergoing orthodontic therapy. The gingival enlargement begins o two or three months after the insertion of orthodontic appliance. The main causes of gingival overgrowth during orthodontic treatment include increased plaque accumulation due to challenges in maintaining oral hygiene with fixed appliances. Another cause is represented by the excessive pressure exerted by the orthodontic forces on the periodontium.Various factors influence the development of gingival overgrowth, including gender, age, and duration of orthodontic treatment. Conclusions Gingival overgrowth of orthodontic etiology can take on various clinical and morphological aspects and depends on the status of oral hygiene, the duration and correctness of orthodontic therapy.

This qualitative study investigated the challenges elementary school teachers’ face in District Mardan in overcrowded classrooms. A case study design was chosen for this study. The sample consisted of eight elementary school educators, (participants) with the highest enrollment across the entire school. An interpretive research design was applied, gathering participants’ insights through interviews. Participants were chosen using convenience sampling, and data was collected via observation and semi-structured interviews, with the questions developed based on literature and expert reviews, four classes were observed at the elementary level. Data analysis was done through thematic analysis. The findings highlight various challenges, pedagogical difficulties, less interaction between teachers and students, workload, participation of students in different activities, problems of student management, and limitation of resources in elementary schools. The study suggests targeted teaching; the use of digital tools like educational apps, the conduction of quick assessments, and a resource-sharing system are the best techniques to overcome these challenges.
Analysis of Bilateral and Unilateral Data: A Comparative Review of Model-Based and MLE-Based Methods for the Homogeneity Test of Proportions
Authors: Zhang Xueqing , Ma Chang-Xing
Published: January 2025

In many medical comparative studies, subjects may provide either bilateral or unilateral data. While numerous testing procedures have been proposed for bilateral data that account for the intra-class correlation between paired organs of the same individual, few studies have thoroughly explored combined correlated bilateral and unilateral data. Ma and Wang (2021) introduced three test procedures based on the maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) algorithm for general g groups. In this article, we employ a model-based approach that treats the measurements from both eyes of each subject as repeated observations. We then compare this approach with Ma and Wang’s Score test procedure. Monte Carlo simulations demonstrate that the MLE-based Score test offers certain advantages under specific conditions. However, this model-based method lacks an explicit form for the test statistic, limiting its potential for further development of an exact test.
The SEPA Payment Account Access scheme is driving ‘open banking’ in the EU beyond the revised Payments Services Directive
Authors: Godefroi Christophe , Pranger Niels
Published: January 2025

This paper presents the SEPA Payment Account Access (SPAA) scheme, exploring its origins, associated benefits and challenges as well as the related regulatory context. The SPAA scheme covers the set of rules, practices and standards that allow for premium, value-added open banking services beyond the regulatory requirements. The revised Payment Services Directive (PSD2) describes the legal framework for open banking in Europe. It obliges account servicing payment service providers to provide — free of charge — dedicated interfaces to allow regulated third parties to access an account holder’s payment account with consent of the account holder. With this access, third parties are permitted to provide ‘basic’ open banking services regulated under PSD2. Not long after PSD2 was implemented, the Euro Retail Payments Board started exploring the possibilities for a potential SEPA application programming interface (API) access scheme for premium, valueadded services beyond PSD2. This resulted in several recommendations and a formal invitation to the European Payments Council (EPC), which subsequently developed the SPAA scheme. The SPAA scheme enables ‘premium’ payment services beyond the regulatory requirements of PSD2 and supports a wide variety of payments use cases, including online and in-store. It aims to drive open banking in the European Union (EU) in a way that unlocks and creates value while allowing for a fair distribution of value and risk between participants. SPAA is a pan-European scheme that underpins the EU’s objective of payments sovereignty, is supported by the relevant EU institutions and developed collaboratively in a multi-stakeholder setup by the retail payments industry. In addition to the SPAA scheme rulebook, a default asset remuneration model based on a cost calculation methodology has been developed to support the scheme. The SPAA scheme has the potential to further drive payments innovation and could be regarded as a stepping-stone towards open finance beyond payments as well as ‘open data’ beyond finance.
