Authors: Rajasekhar Reshma , Attur Kailash , Bagda Kamal Kumar , Soman Sooraj , Anroop Anjana
Published: October 2024

Aim:

To assess the correlation among cone-beam computed tomographic periapical volume index (CBCTPAVI) and periapical lesion volume with Orstavik’s periapical index (PAI).

Methodology:

Seventy-six cone-beam computed tomographic (CBCT) and periapical radiographic images of single-rooted teeth presenting with apical periodontitis from 42 patients were obtained from a period of March 2023 to April 2024. Two observers evaluated the periapical radiographs and assigned PAI scores. CBCTPAVI was allocated based on the volume of the lesion, which was computed using ITK-SNAP software. Spearman’s correlation coefficient was employed to evaluate the association between CBCTPAVI and lesion volume with PAI.

Results:

A significant and moderate positive relationship between PAI and lesion volume (ρ = 0.553, P < 0.001) as well as between PAI and CBCTPAVI (ρ = 0.506; P < 0.001) was observed.

Conclusion:

The risk of under/overestimation of results on two-dimensional periapical radiographs exists, despite a favorable connection with volumetric assessment of CBCT images.

Context:

Effective root canal treatment relies on the ability of sealers to wet and penetrate the root canal system, ensuring a tight seal and preventing bacterial leakage. The current study investigates the wetting ability of newer root canal sealers by evaluating their contact angle.

Aim:

The objective of the present study was to evaluate and compare the wetting behavior of Guttaflow bioseal, Ceraseal, and AH plus root canal sealers.

Materials and Methods:

Decoronation and apical third resections of thirty extracted singlerooted human mandibular premolars were done. The roots were then split longitudinally into two halves buccolingually. The root dentin surfaces were treated using 10 mL 3% sodium hypochlorite for 5 min, 10 mL of 17% ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid for 5 min, and 2% chlorhexidine for 10 min. Then, these sixty dentin bars were randomly divided into three groups (n = 20): Group 1 – AH Plus, Group 2 – Ceraseal, and Group 3 – Guttaflow bioseal. The controlled volume of 0.1 mL sealer has been dispensed onto the dentin specimen using a micropipette. The contact angle of a drop of sealer was measured after 5 min using Ossila goniometer.

Statistical Analysis Used:

The data were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance and Tukey post hoc tests. The statistical significance was at P < 0.05.

Results:

The mean contact angle values for AH Plus sealer were lower when compared to the other two sealer groups which is statistically highly significant.

Authors: Zghair Liqaa Salim , Ghazal Sabreen G. , AlMuhammady Marwa H. , A.T. Aluaa.
Published: October 2024

Background: One of the most prevalent bacteria in nosocomial infections is Acinetobacter baumannii. Misuse of antibiotics has resulted in an increase in A. baumannii multidrug-resistant (MDR) strain resistance. To assess the resistant gene pattern of MDR A. baumannii, empirical antibiotic therapy is required. In order to do this, the current study used a genotypic diagnostic technique to assess the resistance gene pattern of MDR A. baumannii that was collected from hospitalized patients. A. baumannii has resistance mechanisms against broad-spectrum antibiotics, including β-lactamases, efflux pumps, and aminoglycosides, altering targets, permeability shifts, and enzyme modifications. Efforts have been made to target plant-derived compounds and a combination of antibiotics and phytocompounds to circumvent resistance mechanisms. Many studies have been conducted on plant extract-synthesised nanoparticles. Additionally, we projected contemporary techniques to investigate insights into the mechanisms of action of antibiotics, such as multi-omics analysis. The data implied that A. baumannii putative antibiotic pathways would result in a different approach to treating A. baumannii infections. One of these resilient pathogens is A. baumannii, which is becoming more common in hospitals, resistant to treatment, and linked to higher death rates. Notwithstanding its clinical importance, little is known about this pathogen's behavior outside of hospitals. Additionally, unknown are its virulence factors. Consequently, our goal in this review is to provide light on the most recent findings about the ecological niches, microbiological characteristics, and antibiotic resistance profiles of A. baumannii. According to recent research, this bacterium is found in an increasing number of environmental niches, such as soils, treatment plants, and rivers.

Does External Debt Cause Growth? A Comparative Study Of Nigerian And South African Economies
Authors: Doorasamy Mishelle , Adejayan Adeola Oluwakemi , Nyahuna Thomas
Published: October 2024

Research Aims:  The purpose of this study is to ascertain the effect of external debt on economic growth and the causal relationship that exists between external debt and growth in South Africa and Nigeria between 1981 and 2022.
Design/methodology/approach: To this end, VECM, VAR and pairwise Granger causality were used to analyze the data. on GDP, external debt, debt servicing, government expenditure, and exchange rate.  .
 Research Findings:  The results show that the effect of external debt on economic growth is insignificant in the near term, having positive influence in South Africa and negative impact in Nigeria. However, the long-term effects are detrimental and noteworthy in South Africa. Also, the results on causality indicate that, in Nigeria, there is no causal relationship between external debt and economic growth, but in South Africa, there is a unidirectional relationship between GDP and external debt
Theoretical Contribution/Originality:  This study concludes that, whereas exchange rates are the primary predictor of economic growth in Nigeria, external debt neither causes nor determines economic growth in South Africa or Nigeria. Rather, causation flows from economic growth to external debt exclusively in South Africa. Therefore, this study recommends that the government of both countries should channel their available resources towards developmental projects that will spur growth.

Published: October 2024

Introduction: The provision of Article 28 B paragraph (2) and Article 28 D paragraph (1) of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia can be stated as the philosophical basis for children's rights on viability, growth, and development; and the rights to protection from violence and discrimination; as well as the rights to recognition, assurance, fair legal protection, and certainty, as well as equal treatment in front of the law.Purposes of the Research: To find out that every regulation related to child support rights from the human rights perspective should refer to the philosophical basis of the nation that is Article 28 B paragraph (2) and Article 28D paragraph (1) of the 1945 Constitution of Republic of Indonesia. The focus of the legal problem in this study is child support rights from the human rights perspective.Methods of the Research: The juridical normative method with statute approach, conceptual approach, constitutional approach, and Comparative approach is used as the research methodology in this study.Results of the Research: However, with the implementation of Article 28 B paragraph (2) of the 1945 Constitution of Republic of Indonesia that placed the State, Government, and Regional Governments are obliged to ensure the protection, care, and welfare of the children by paying attention to the rights and obligations of the parents, guardians or other people who legally responsible to the children. The provision of that Article asserts that the problem of children's protection is not only the responsibility of their parents, but also has become the responsibility of the state, government, and regional government. Therefore, it can be concluded that the post-divorce child maintenance rulings in Malaysia are better than those in Indonesia, as the implementation of child maintenance rulings in Malaysia is monitored by the BSK, which is a part of the Court responsible for handling all matters related to child support.
Unveiling hidden challenges: impaired foot posture due to skin involvement in systemic sclerosis
Authors: Gokcen N.
Published: October 2024

Systemic sclerosis [SSc] is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by fibrosis, vasculopathy, and immune dysregulation, primarily affecting the skin and various internal organs. Musculoskeletal manifestations, particularly foot involvement, are common but often underrecognized. Foot problems, including pain, Raynaud's phenomenon, digital ulcers, and deformities such as hallux valgus, are reported in SSc patients and can significantly impair mobility and quality of life. Skin thickening, especially around the ankles and toes, may disrupt foot alignment and posture, potentially leading to gait abnormalities. Current literature on the relationship between skin involvement, foot posture, and gait characteristics in SSc is limited, highlighting the need for comprehensive studies to explore these associations. The current hypothesis posits that skin involvement in SSc may significantly influence foot posture, leading to subsequent alterations in gait dynamics.

Method. A total of 120 university students were included in this prospective study. The students' scores of desire to exercise, hopelessness (Beck Hopelessness Scale), fatigue severity (Fatigue Severity Scale), shortness of breath (Modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) Dyspnea Scale), and pain (Visual Analogue Scale) before and after the onset of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic were determined using scales, face-to-face and online surveys. The Shapiro-Wilk, Mann-Whitney U, Wilcoxon Signed Rank test and the chi-square tests were used. In the data analysis, a p-value of less than .05 was considered statistically significant.
Results. A total of 120 subjects were included in the study, 95 of whom (79.2%) identified as female. The mean age of the participants was 22.8±5.3 (18-45) years. It was observed that the scores for hopelessness, shortness of breath, pain, and fatigue in the group with a history of SARS-CoV-2 infection increased significantly (p<0.05) compared to the pre-pandemic period. Conversely, the desire to exercise exhibited a notable decline (p<0.05).
Conclusion. In university students, increased hopelessness, fatigue, shortness of breath and decreased desire to exercise after the COVID-19 pandemic may have developed secondary to post-COVID syndrome and immobility due to lockdown.

In this study, type I interferon (IFN-α ve IFN-β) levels, viral load levels, the relationship between viral load and interferons, and the relationship between interferon levels and disease severity and mortality in patients with Crimean-Congo Haemorrhagic Fever (CCHF) were investigated. 100 patients diagnosed with CCHF between April-2010 and September-2011 and 74 healthy individuals were selected as control group. IFN-α ve in patient sera was analysed by IFN-β seviyeleri ELISA method and viral load levels were analysed by Real-Time PCR method. Individuals in the patient group were classified as severe (group1) and mild (group2) patients according to the criteria defined by Swanepoel et al. During the follow-up, 25 of the patients in the severe group died. Patients in the severe group who died were classified as group1a and patients who survived were classified as group1b. INF-α ve β düzeyleri CCHF patients in the control group, group1 patients in group2 and control group was found to be significantly higher than the group (p<0.05).  When the viral load levels detected in patients in group1 and group2 were compared, the statistical difference was found to be insignificant (p>0.05). Viral load levels in group1a were statistically significant compared to group1b and group2 (p<0.05). In the ROC analysis performed in terms of IFN-α düzeyleri detected in the first blood samples of the patients, the cut off value for predicting mortality was 25042 pg/ml. In this analysis, the area under the curve (AUC) of IFN-α için was 0.713 and statistically significant (p<0.05). IFN-β için values were statistically insignificant (p>0.05).  The cut off value for viral load was 8445500 copies/ml, AUC was 0.870 and statistically significant (p<0.05). There was a significant and positive correlation between IFN-α ile and IFN-β arasında in group1a (r=0.551, p<0.05). In conclusion, we found high levels of interferon and viral load in CCHF patients in this study, suggesting that high levels of interferon are released in CCHF patients, but the secreted interferon cannot prevent viral replication adequately. It is likely that the CCHF virus has various evasion mechanisms to avoid the effect of interferon. Further studies are needed to clarify/confirm this situation.

Introduction. With the surge of data in today's information landscape, transforming this data into actionable knowledge has become increasingly difficult. Tracking and analyzing scientific literature effectively is essential. This study compiles an altmetric list of the 50 most-cited articles on social media and healthcare, aiming to identify critical research and assess its impact on current healthcare trends. Methods. The analysis focused on the terms "Social Media Platforms" and "Healthcare" using the Altmetric database. Articles were ranked by altmetric mentions and analyzed with Microsoft Excel. Data visualization was facilitated through tables, graphs, and keyword graphical visualization using VOSviewer. Results. Key aspects identified include the impact of social media on mental health, medical misinformation, the role of social media in public health communication, and its effects on user behavior. The analysis revealed an average altmetrics score (AAS) of 433.58, with scores ranging from 49 to 4,493. The United States and Great Britain were prominent in the most-cited publications. Leading journals included the Journal of Medical Internet Research and PLOS ONE. Primary themes were mental health, health misinformation, public health, social media behavior, and specific health issues. The Spearman correlation between citations and the altmetric index was rs = 0.369 (p < 0.05), indicating a moderate positive relationship. Conclusion. Altmetric analysis is a valuable complement to traditional bibliometric methods, helping to identify emerging trends and challenges in social media data use. Recommendations include revising analytical approaches and implementing measures to enhance data reliability.
Social media and health care: a cross-sectional analysis of X (Twitter) posts using the NodeXL platform
Authors: Mukhamediyarov M. , Bekaryssova D.
Published: October 2024

Introduction. The landscape of healthcare and medical education is rapidly evolving, driven by the popularity of social media platforms like Facebook, WeChat, and X (Twitter). These platforms have transformed healthcare communication, enabling trainees, medical students, and practitioners to enhance learning and clinical practice. Educators leverage social media to simplify complex medical concepts, fostering continuous learning and professional development. Despite their benefits, social media, notably X (Twitter), boasting over 186 million active users, are susceptible to misinformation, underscoring the importance of verifying data accuracy and identifying influential medical sources. This study aims to identify the most influential sources of health information through X (Twitter) analysis using the NodeXL tool.
Methods. Employing a cross-sectional design, this study utilized the NodeXL platform for social media analysis. NodeXL facilitated the identification of prevalent topics in public health discussions on X (Twitter). Influencers, users, and prominent healthcare providers were categorized to assess the credibility of their information. Data collection extended up to March 1, 2024.
Results. Analysis revealed that the #hospital hashtag garnered the highest number of tweets among popular healthcare hashtags (6,438 tweets, with 84% being unique). Conversely, #medicalcare and #medicine had the lowest citation counts (58 and 116 respectively). @MahaHealthIE emerged as the most famous account using the #healthservices hashtag. Notable influencers with the #hospital hashtag included YouTube, Narendra Modi, and Al Jazeera English. @GreenSwelfares led in using the #medicalcare hashtag, while YouTube and the World Health Organization (@WHO) were prominent among accounts using #medicine.
Conclusion. This study underscores the significance of monitoring social media and tracking key influencers periodically. However, the study's limitation lies in its snapshot nature, failing to capture the dynamic shifts in influencer popularity trends over time.
