Authors: Kamel Walid Y. , Haggag Addham Magdy
Published: December 2023

Aim/Objectives/ Background

The aim of the study is to test the validity of Richmond Agitation Sedation Scale in the field of anesthesia.

Sedation is to provide comfort to patients during unpleasant diagnostic or therapeutic procedures, monitored anesthesia care (MAC) is not limited to watching the level of sedation but for tailoring sedation to the need for the patient/procedure. Many scales have been designed to monitor the depth of anesthesia in the intensive care unit for those who are in need for sedation, from this scales Richmond Agitation Sedation Scale (RASS) was approved.

Methods

The study is a double blinded cross sectional observational study. The patients scheduled for upper GIT endoscopy were randomly divided into group R and group N, sedation was started to the targeted level. If the targeted level of sedation not achieved. Propofol at a dose of 0.5 mg/kg administrated over 3-5 min .titrated till the clinical response were achieved, In group R, the level of sedation was monitored using Richmond sedation agitation scale While in group N, the level of sedation was monitored based on the defined level of sedation according to the ASA. The time of the procedure, length of the hospital stay and the recovery time was recorded. In the postoperative visit, the patient’s satisfaction was assessed, based on a Questionnaire of 5 yes or no Questions.. The Feasibility was examined using, simplicity and ease of use, ease of recall, precise discriminating criteria for each level, sufficient levels for sedative medication titration, measurement of agitation.

Results

The difference in the procedure time between the two groups were not significant, the time recorded to reach the targeted sedation level were statistically significant where it was longer in group N 19.2±4.2 min vs 18.4±5.2 min., the difference in the recovery time between the two groups 5(3) vs 2(1) were not significant. the level of satisfaction was achieved at a low scale of sedation in group R, No delay in the discharge time among the two groups, the validity for the application of the scale were 16(35.5%) vs 6(13.3%). Inter rater correlation using Cohen’s Kappa yield a correlation of 0.9 denoting perfect correlation.

Conclusion

RASS is a valid and reliable tool for monitoring the level of sedation in procedural sedation especially if a limited modification applied on it.
Platelet-rich preparations as biocarriers for local drugs for periodontal disease: A narrative review
Authors: Ercan Esra , Hiz-Çiçekliyurt Meliha Merve
Published: December 2023

Introduction:

Platelets are nucleated cells that form blood clots as their primary function, but their popularity comes with secondary functions such as angiogenesis and innate immunity.

Aims:

This review focuses on different methods of platelet-rich plasma production and its use as a drug carrier, particularly in dental medicine.

Materials and Methods:

Scientific databases were searched from 2006 to 2013.

Results and Discussion:

Platelet-derived growth factors are released during the modulation of the wound-healing process and regulate many biological activities. High regeneration capacity in the wound healing process combines its use with traditional methods in medical applications and sometimes in alternative treatment methods. Platelet-rich biological structures have advantages such as rapid and easy production, antimicrobial properties, high regenerative capacity, and inhibition of postoperative bleeding. Platelet-rich autogenous blood concentrates can administer antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs locally. Platelet-rich biological structures can also be used as high-quality carriers for the targeted delivery of drugs.

Conclusion:

Apart from antibiotics, orally administered analgesics, anticancer drugs, etc., can also be added to platelet-rich fibrin because the three-dimensional fibrin matrix structure undergoes fibrinolysis completely autogenously within the body. Still, biocompatibility, biodegradability, mechanical strength, and shape retention must be investigated for optimal drug utilization.

Published: December 2023

A flabby ridge is a condition where excessively mobile and resilient tissue affects the maxillary or mandibular alveolar ridges. This study reviews the flabby anterior maxillary ridges and explores their management. It also included a case report of a 67-year-old male diabetic patient with rare manifestations in the anterior maxilla. The selection of this patient in this study was due to the rare flabby tissue manifestations in the anterior maxilla. These manifestations resulted in denture instability and loss of retention but also caused significant symptoms for the patient, including severe pain, prolonged headaches, and a burning sensation. This study aimed to alleviate pressure on the flabby tissues in the anterior maxilla and enhance the complete denture’s retention, support, and stability. In managing the flabby anterior maxilla described in this study, the prosthetic approach involved utilizing a modified window technique for the secondary impression and a low-viscosity impression material. On the following day till the follow-up period (12 months), the patient showed no complaints of pain, headache, or burning sensation, and the complete denture was in good retention, support, and stability. Prosthodontic management is a reliable alternative to surgery for hypermobile flabby tissues. It improves denture quality, reduces pressure, and enhances comfort and functionality during daily activities.
Full single arch distalization in Class II malocclusion using subzygomatic temporary anchorage devices: A case report
Authors: Alyami Bandar
Published: December 2023

Distalization of the maxillary molars is among the most commonly employed nonextraction treatment strategies for angle Class II malocclusion. This approach is primarily recommended for subjects with dentoalveolar maxillary protrusion or minor skeletal abnormalities. A case of a 17-year-old Hispanic male patient with Class II skeletal base with Class II end on canines and molars, upper anterior crowding, severe overjet, and moderate overbite is hereby reported. He refused extraction; therefore, he was offered full single upper arch distalization using subzygomatic temporary anchorage devices (TADs). After 11 months of retraction, the TADs were removed and it was observed that the overjet and overbite were now within normal values and midline shift was also corrected. Satisfactory leveling and alignment, alleviation of crowding, and Class I molar and canine relationship were achieved. The aim of this case report was to describe full single arch distalization using subzygomatic TADs in a patient with Class II skeletal, molar, and canine relationships.

In developing countries, such as Sudan, there is a lack of advanced endodontic technologies and specialized endodontists. Therefore, challenging endodontic cases are inevitability encountered by undergraduate students and general dental practitioners. Their ability to manage such cases can significantly impact the decision of whether a tooth is saved or extracted. Here, we report the case of a 24-year-old male patient who presented to our clinic with pain in the mandibular second premolar. Tooth #45 had caries and was tender to vertical percussion. An intraoral periapical radiograph (IOPR) revealed a wide periodontal ligament space and thickened lamina dura, with the deep occluso-distal decay reaching the pulp space. A radiograph obtained using the tube shift technique revealed the presence of three distinct roots and canals. The patient was diagnosed with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis and apical periodontitis. His root canal treatment (RCT) was performed by a 5th-year undergraduate student using the conventional radiography technique, hand file instruments, and lateral condensation obturation. At the 8-year follow-up visit, the tooth crown was lost, the patient was asymptomatic, and the IOPR revealed normal periapical bone. This case demonstrates the importance of training undergraduate students from developing countries to perform RCT for challenging endodontic cases using conventional techniques.

Purpose The present study aimed to evaluate the role of early and delayed surgery in congenital brain tumors and analyze the clinical outcomes of infantile brain tumors.Materials and Methods We performed a retrospective cohort study on 69 infantile brain tumors at a single institution from January 2008 to June 2023. Outcomes were assessed as early mortality (within 30 days following surgery) to evaluate the risk of early surgery in congenital brain tumors. Outcomes of recurrence and overall survival were analyzed in infantile brain tumors.Results Surgery-related early mortality appeared to occur in young and low-body-weight patients. Cut-off values of age and body weight were found to be 1.3 months and 5.2 kg to avoid early mortality. Three patients (3/10, 30%) showed early mortality in the early surgery group, and early mortality occurred in one patient (1/14, 7.14%) in the delayed surgery group, whose tumor was excessively enlarged. Younger age at diagnosis (< 3 months of age; hazard ratios [HR], 7.1; 95% confidence intervals [CI], 1.4 to 35.6; p=0.018) and leptomeningeal seeding (LMS; HR, 30.6; 95% CI, 3.7 to 253.1; p=0.002) were significant independent risk factors for high mortality in infantile brain tumors.Conclusion We suggest delaying surgery until the patient reaches 1.3 months of age and weighs over 5.2 kg with short-term imaging follow-up unless tumors grow rapidly in congenital brain tumors. Younger ages and the presence of LMS are independent risk factors for high mortality in infantile brain tumors.

Authors: Žarković Tatjana
Published: December 2023

The fast way of life, the intensive flow of information and the comprehensive connection of people and capital with the global market and modern technologies lead to the questioning of the traditional definitions of the concepts of space, place and time in the social sciences, which at the same time makes the classical theories of migration questionable. The issue of “methodological nationalism” has long been discussed and criticized in the literature, as well as Eurocentrism, the dominance of the economic perspective and gender imbalance, recognized as stumbling points in migration research. The main criticisms of classical theories of migration are presented in the paper, as well as new approaches that are born from the attempt to understand the changes brought about by modern society and to overcome the set stumbling points.

Published: December 2023

This study was conducted to address the critical issue of the poor safety management system in laboratories, through the design of a smart laboratory management facility based on the Internet of Things (IoT). In this design, three major safety parameters-fire, temperature and carbon (ii) oxide (CO) levels were monitored by appropriate sensors, which transmit data to the microcontroller (Arduino) for interpretation. The Arduino microprocessor processed the data received from the sensor(s), makes decisions based on the predefined algorithms. Based on the decisions made by the Arduino, the microprocessor sends instructions to a relay module triggered the necessary actions to be taken by the output hardware devices-fire extinguisher, air conditioning system and exhaust fan unit. The temperature monitoring system was designed at an operational range of 18°C to 25°C, the CO control unit was designed to maintain the CO concentration inside the laboratory at a level not exceeding 4 parts per million (ppm), as approved by the World Health Organization; while fire control unit was designed to detect the presence of smoke of naked fire inside the building. In the event that any of these parameters breach safety thresholds, the smart structure's safety system will trigger the appropriate responses. The designed structure was built in compliance with international safety standards. Results obtained through the testing and evaluation of the system revealed that the smart system had overall performance efficiency of 91% and false output of 9%. The system's failure rate of 9% can be reduced by employing advanced sensors and adjusting the delay rate. The findings of this study revealed that IoT and automation can successfully monitor and protect the working environment inside laboratories.
Sprječavanje pranja novca i financiranje terorizma u Republici Hrvatskoj
Authors: Zorić Andreja
Published: December 2023

Ekonomska globalizacija ima svoje pozitivne strane, jer donosi sve veću integraciju nacionalnih gospodarstava diljem svijeta, posebice kroz trgovinu i financijske tijekove. To uključuje trgovinu robom i uslugama, tijekove kapitala, trgovinu valutama i vrijednosnim papirima, prijenos tehnologije i ideja te međunarodne tijekove rada, odnosno migracije. Međutim, globalizacijski procesi omogućuju da se tzv. prljavi novac, stečen raznim ilegalnim aktivnostima, kao što su korupcija, trgovina drogom, oružjem ili ljudima, organizirani kriminal, financijske prijevare itd., brzo i lako integrira duboko u financijski sustav, što otežava identificiranje njegova podrijetla. Da bi se što uspješnije borili s pranjem novca, međunarodne institucije i nacionalna zakonodavstva iz godine u godinu sve više uređuju sprječavanje pranja novca i financiranja terorizma kroz zakonsku regulativu, razne preporuke i smjernice. Sustavi sprječavanja pranja novca na nacionalnoj razini te suradnja na međunarodnoj razini od iznimne su važnosti da bi se uspješno spriječilo pranje novca. Budući da je i Republika Hrvatska jedna od karika u globalizacijskom procesu i nije izuzeta od tijekova prljavog novca, važno je analizirati i povezati empirijske podatke iz cjelokupnog procesa i sustava sprječavanja pranja novca i financiranja terorizma te izloženost riziku pranja novca i financiranja terorizma. Na takav način povezuju se prošla stanja i kretanja s očekivanjima u procesu sprječavanja pranja novca.

The paper analyzes the rules for concluding an insurance contract, the beginning of its effect, duration and termination. The author first points out that in civil law, the rule is that the moment of concluding the contract and the moment when it begins to produce legal effects usually coincide. In insurance law, however, the conclusion of the insurance contract and the moment when it begins to produce first effects are regularly different. Likewise, in insurance law, the rule is that the termination of the contract and the moment of termination of the insurance coverage? they differ. Au indicates that, what is the rule in civil law, in insurance law is a rare case, these two moments coincide only if such an agreement exists between the contracting parties. It is emphasized that in insurance law, the contracting party regularly provides for the separation of the moment of conclusion of the contract from the moment of the beginning of its effect, the beginning of the obligation of the insurer to cover the risk provided for in the contract and the beginning of the obligation of the policyholder, that is, the insured to pay the insurance premium. It is concluded that the reasons for such rules are of a practical nature. Namely, it may happen that the insured event occurs on the same day when the insurance contract is concluded, so there are difficulties in determining the time of occurrence of the harmful event, which, on the other hand, can be misused by the contracting parties.

Published: December 2023

Objetivo. Identificar si las estrategias logísticas influyen en el desempeño de las empresas productoras de muebles de Villa El Salvador. Métodos. El estudio fue desarollado bajo el enfoque cuantitativo, en un nivel explicativo. Se recogió la información de las estrategias logísticas con una encuesta tipo Likert, en el año 2018: posposición, integración logística interna, integración logística externa y logística proactiva y del desempeño logístico: lead time, costo logístico, stock-out y satisfacción del cliente. Fueron empleados métodos econométricos para probar las hipótesis planteadas. Resultados. La posposicion reduce el lead time y el costo logístico, pero no influye en el stock-out, ni en la satisfacción del cliente. La integración logística interna disminuye el lead time, el costo logístico y el stock-out y aumenta la satisfacción del cliente. La integración logística externa disminuye el lead time, el costo logístico y el stock-out y mejora la satisfacción del cliente. La logística proactiva no influye en el lead time, disminuye el costo logístico y el stock-out, y aumenta la satisfacción del cliente. Conclusión. La estrategia logística influye en el desempeño de las empresas. Este efecto se explicaría no tanto por la aplicación estructurada de las estrategias logísticas, sino porque la encuesta incluyó elementos de las estrategias logísticas y porque estas empresas, al ser miembros de un cluster, cooperan y coordinan.

Most viruses implicated in these diseases require vectors for transmission to humans, most are transmitted by arthropods or rodent-borne infections, and due to the zoonotic nature of these diseases, these diseases are generally confined to endemic areas where their hosts live. Symptoms of the hemorrhagic fever virus include fatigue, aches, cough, fever, shortness of breath, and eye redness. Given that viral genome detection is the best tool for diagnosis, however, blood sampling requires personal medical training and involves important risks for the patient as well as for personal healthcare. Sampling may therefore be by non-invasive methods (eg, saliva or urine), as well as multiplex PCR, lateral flow assays, and non-invasive sampling, including saliva and urine. It was found that there are many immune indicators related to the hemorrhagic fever virus, including protein C and D-dimer, which were found to increase when infected with hemorrhagic fever. As for inflammatory cytokines, they were found to play an important role in causing infection with the hemorrhagic fever virus, including interleukin 6, interferon gamma, as well as About tumor necrosis factor.

Published: December 2023

The economies of ASEAN countries have experienced growth, but many find themselves stuck in the "middle-income trap" for an extended period. Overcoming this trap is crucial as it is linked to issues such as limited job opportunities and unstable income, especially in Southeast Asia. To avoid this trap, promoting innovation is recommended, with the startup ecosystem seen as a key driver of economic growth since the 2010s. Accelerating business development through startup promotion has become a benchmark for achieving economic development. Encouraging entrepreneurship, particularly through startups, plays a significant role in boosting economies. Academic entrepreneurship, involving students, governments, and private enterprises, has emerged as an important approach. However, middle-income ASEAN economies, especially in the lower-middle-income bracket, face challenges in promoting academic entrepreneurship due to resource, funding, and connection limitations. To address this, a conceptual framework was developed to understand the theoretical relationship between the economic development stage and entrepreneurship through startups. Panel data analysis using natural logarithmic data revealed that entrepreneurship via startups is a significant predictor and a substantial factor in promoting economic development. Building on the panel data analysis results, a strategic framework for promoting economic development through entrepreneurship via startups was formulated through qualitative analysis. This involved integrating insights from academic entrepreneurship policies and the current development conditions in six selected middle-income ASEAN economies, along with the status of the startup ecosystem. Notably, there is a need for further development in financial and educational support to encourage young university students to establish companies in collaboration with governments and enterprises. Tailoring startup policies to the development status of each country is desirable.

The use of linguistics to determine meaning in cases of personality infringement
Authors: Carney T , Grundlingh L , Knobel JC
Published: December 2023

Personality infringements through social media are not uncommon. Although many personality infringements can be linked to linguistics, given the fact that they take place in the form of written or spoken utterances, linguistic perspectives and theories are not commonly used to analyse evidence in possible personality infringement cases. This contribution aims to illustrate how linguistic theories can add value to the analysis of evidence in some personality infringement cases by investigating the word “fagott” and the potential reasons why it was misread as “faggot” in a given instance. The likeliness of one word being misread as another (and the implications thereof) is explored through pragmatic and psycholinguistic theories and is set against the backdrop of the law of personality. Data collected from English corpora complement the theories and help to illuminate why one word could be mistaken for the other. The article concludes that the linguistic evidence may be a valuable aid in determining whether personality infringements have taken place.
Protecting spousal interests in immovable property forming part of the joint estate: Improving the operation of section 15 of the Matrimonial Property Act 88 of 1984 [Discussion of Vukeya v Ntshane 2022 2 SA 452 (SCA)]
Authors: Barratt Amanda
Published: December 2023

The Supreme Court of Appeal ruling in Vukeya v Ntshane 2022 2 SA 452 (SCA) (“Vukeya”) provides a useful lens through which to examine the ostensible protection that section 15 of the Matrimonial Property Act 88 of 1984 provides for the patrimonial interests of spouses married in community of property. Section 15(2) of the Act appears to provide powerful protection for the spouses’ interests in their immoveable property. However, this protection can be scuppered when an errant spouse transacts with a bona fide third party who qualifies for protection in terms of section 15(9)(a) of the Act. In the Vukeya ruling, the court applied a stringent test to assess whether the third party could reasonably have known that the contracting spouse lacked the required spousal consent. The third party was deemed to qualify for the legislative protection, in part because the information in the Deeds Registry was out of date. The note suggests that there should be better communication between the Department of Home Affairs and the Deeds Registry to avoid this kind of prejudice to married spouses. It is the responsibility of the government departments concerned to update their electronic data systems so that the objectives of the protective legislation (the Matrimonial Property Act and the Deeds Registries Act 47 of 1937) can be achieved in practice. The note argues further that section 15(9) of the Act does not provide a reasonable balance between protecting the interests of third parties and the interests of non-consenting spouses. It suggests an amendment to the legislation to provide a more equitable balance by incorporating some aspects of the common law actio Pauliana.
The uncertain constitutional duty to internally investigate and remedy state impropriety
Authors: Herd Nicholas , Murcott Melanie Jean
Published: December 2023

It may seem axiomatic that the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996 imposes a general duty on public functionaries to investigate and remedy potential state impropriety, such as corruption, committed within the state. Public functionaries are, after all, supposed to be accountable to the public, and are enjoined by the Constitution to uphold and protect the rule of law. However, conflicting Constitutional Court jurisprudence gives rise to legal uncertainty about the existence of a general constitutional duty to investigate and remedy impropriety. This article explores whether public functionaries are obliged – as a matter of constitutional law – to respond when they become aware of actual or probable state impropriety. First, we argue that investigations have instrumental value, align with constitutional imperatives, and are mandated by relevant provisions of the Constitution. Secondly, we deduce that the overriding position emerging from the Constitutional Court’s decisions on the obligations of state functionaries constitutes judicial recognition of a general duty to investigate and remedy potential state impropriety. Finally, we conclude that to advance the rule of law, amongst other values of South Africa’s constitutional order, the legal position should be clarified in future jurisprudence and through legislative intervention.
The limited judicial discretion to redistribute property in marriages out of community of property: Revisiting feminist arguments on intersectionality, women’s work and choice
Authors: Bonthuys Elsje , Coetzee Azille
Published: December 2023

Section 7(3) of the Divorce Act 70 of 1979 gives courts a discretion to deviate from antenuptial contracts in marriages out of community of property without the accrual system, if it would be just to do so, because one of the spouses contributed to the growth of the other spouse’s estate. This is known as the discretion to make a redistribution order. However, when the provision was enacted, this discretion only applied to civil marriages concluded before 1984. Gradually, however, the discretion was extended to other forms of marriage and to some civil marriages concluded after 1984. This article argues that the failure to extend the redistribution discretion to all marriages impacts disproportionately on women and constitutes impermissible discrimination on the basis of gender. It does so because the seemingly neutral statutory limitation on redistribution orders operates in a social context which is deeply marked by structural gender inequalities. These, in turn, mean that many women tend to be in a weaker bargaining position than men with respect to the terms of antenuptial contracts and whether spouses enter into such contracts at all. Moreover, women’s disproportionate responsibility for childcare and other domestic tasks usually has a negative impact on their ability to generate income and grow their own estates, while often enhancing those of their husbands. The failure of the law to take account of actual inequalities between men and women means that the current position discriminates indirectly on the basis of gender and there is no legitimate government purpose which justifies this discrimination.
