Authors: Ismail Dr. Intisar J . , Hamad Dr. Thikra I .
Published: August 2022

The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) may be affected by inflammatory, traumatic, infectious, congenital, and developmental, as seen in other joints. However, the most common affliction of the TMJ and masticatory apparatus is a group of functional disorders with associated pain that occurs predominantly in women and was previously known as the TMJ pain dysfunction syndrome. Since 1978, there have been substantial changes in the study of etiologic factors, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and management of what are now called temporomandibular disorders (TMD).(1)The general perception that all symptoms in the head, face, and jaw region without an identifiable cause constitute a "TMJ" problem is clearly unfounded.Although some oral lesions, such as torus palatinus and torus mandibularis are normal variants, but require prompt diagnosis and sometime treatment to reduce the potential for serious complication and enhance prosthodontic treatment. The purpose of this study is to inspect the relation of TMJ dysfunction syndrome to the presence of oral exostosis, and find the prevalence of torus palatinus (TP) and torus mandibularis (TM)The sample consisted of 932 teachers, 301 males and 631 females were examined for the presence of TMD, TP and / or TM. Analysis was carried out according to age, gender, TMJ dysfunction and the presence of TP and TM.Results indicated that 123(16.1%) had at least one symptoms of TMD, where as 49 (5.3%) had TP; and 67 (7.2) had TM. The male: female prevalence ratios of TP and TM were 1: 3.42 and 1: 1.81 respectively. The results revealed that significant relationship between TMD and tori, and increase in percentage of mandibular tori with the presence of TMJ dysfunctional syndrome more than maxillary tori were found.TP and TM were more frequent in females and there is significant relation between the TP and TM with presence of TMJ dysfunction syndrome ( P< 0.05 ) especially TM , the presence of TM might be useful to look for sign of dysfunction.

Published: August 2022

This study evaluated the amount of apical debris, using hand, rotary ProTaper instruments, and rotary ProFile instruments. Forty five of mandibular premolars with single root were randomly divided into three groups. The teeth in all groups were instrumented until reaching the working length, with ProFile, rotary ProTaper and hand PrpTaper instruments. Debris extruded from the apical foramen was collected into preweighed polyethylene vials and the extruded irrigant was evaporated. The weight of the dry extruded debris was established by comparing the pre-and post instrumentation weight of polyethylene vials for each group. All instruments tested produce a measurable amount of debris, a statistically significant difference was observed between ProTaper instruments and ProFile group in term of debris extrusion (P < 0.001). Although ProTaper rotary extruded a relatively higher amount of debris, no statistically significance difference was observed between this type and the ProTaper hand instruments (P > 0.05).

Authors: Al-Alousi Dr. Jinan Mohammed Rashad
Published: August 2022

Dental caries is a significant public health problem for a large segment of society. Blind people have been described as those who encounter more visual barriers to the receipt of dental care than other people. They may have greater problems accessing dental care or may be at increased risk from dental disease or its treatment.The present study was conducted to assess the caries prevalence, traumatic injuries, levels of oral hygiene and treatment need, in a group of 58 blind children aged (6-15) years. The results were compared with a control group of 58 age and sex matched normal children. The data were collected using the methods and standards recommended by the WHO for oral health survey, 1997.A highly significant difference between study and controls concerning DMFT and dmft, dental caries was higher among normal students compared to blind one. Where as traumatized teeth were higher among blind compared to normal students with a significant difference, a highly significant difference was seen on comparing between blind and normal students concerning plaque and gingival index, while a significant difference was seen for calculus index, one surface filling was needed by 25.9% of 58 control subjects, while only 5.2% of study group needed this type of treatment, less than 7% of the control group required pulp treatment, while 25.9% needed pulp care in the study group.The findings of this study demonstrate that blind subjects have a low prevalence of dental caries, poor oral hygiene, and extensive unmet need for dental treatment. This highly alarming situation requires immediate attention.Key words: Blind, Caries prevalence, Treatment need.

Amaç: Hemodiyaliz (HD) hastalarında protein-enerji malnütrisyonu, kas kütlesi ve işlev kaybı sık görülmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı; HD hastalarında malnütrisyon ve sarkopeni görülme sıklığını tespit etmektir.
Bireyler ve Yöntem: Yaş ortalaması 50.9±13.8 yıl olan 40 hemodiyaliz hastası çalışmaya dahil edilmiştir. Hastalara R-MAPP (Uzaktan Malnütrisyon Uygulaması) taraması yapılmıştır. Bu uygulama Malnütrisyon Evrensel Tarama Aracı (MUST) ve SARC-F (güç, yürümede yardım, sandalyeden kalkma, merdiven çıkma, düşme) tarama araçlarını içermektedir. Ek olarak hastaların biyokimyasal bulguları, el kavrama gücü (EKG) ve biyoelektrik empedans analizi (BİA) verileri alınarak malnütrisyon ve sarkopeni taraması yapılmıştır.
Bulgular: Malnütrisyon Evrensel Tarama Aracı’na göre hastaların %35’i malnütrisyon riski altındadır. Hastaların MUST skoru artıkça albümin, kreatinin ve EKG değerleri azalmıştır (p<0.05). SARC-F taramalarına göre hastaların %25’inde sarkopeni görülmektedir. SARC-F skorları ile beden kütle indeksi (BKİ), kas oranı, vücut yağ oranı, total su oranı, EKG, kreatinin, albümin düzeyleri arasında istatistiksel açıdan anlamlı bir farklılık vardır (p<0.05). Hastaların SARC-F skorları ile vücut yağ oranları pozitif yönlü; kas oranı, total su oranı, EKG, albümin ve kreatinin ile ters yönlü bir korelasyon bulunmuştur (p<0.01). EKG kas oranı, total su oranı, albümin, kreatinin ile pozitif yönlü bir korelasyon; yağ oranı ve BKİ ile ters yönlü bir korelasyon göstermiştir. Lineer regresyon analizine göre kreatinin seviyesi EKG’yi %34 oranında etkilediği bulunurken; vücut yağ oranı %40 oranında etkilemiştir (sırasıyla; R2=0.347, p<0.01, R2=0.400, p<0.01).
Sonuç: SARC-F ve EKG hemodiyaliz hastalarında kas gücü ve işlevini tespit etmek için doğru bir araç olabilir. Klinik kullanımı pratik olsa da MUST, HD hastalarında malnütrisyon tespiti için yeterli değildir. Malnütrisyon tespiti için MUST taramasına ek olarak hastaların biyokimyasal bulguları ve diyet örüntüsü değerlendirilmelidir.

There is a growing recognition of the importance of health security to economic development globally. ‘Health security’ as a phenomenon continues to receive the attention of academics and policymakers in the course of ensuring a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being for all.  Nigeria’s health policy equally gives a premium to this.  The aim of this study, hinging on archival and qualitative research design, is to explore health security in Nigeria vis-à-vis the constraining social and environmental vulnerabilities.  The discourse took into account unfolding social challenges and various environmental problems coupled with the high level of poverty. This article indicates that social and environmental uncertainties interact with many parts of the health care system in a variety of ways. This hurts health security in Nigeria as a result of poor infrastructure development, insufficient government financing, the lack of an integrated system for disease prevention and monitoring, frequent policy reversals, security issues, and unimpressive health indicators. Because of this and considering the state of the Nigerian health care that is worsening on a global standard, it is obvious that health security is yet to have a strong footing.  For health security to have a meaningful impact on people's wellbeing, appropriate health services should be made accessible to those who need them.

Since the end of World War II, the use of nuclear power as a weapon of war has been criticized for causing the deaths of up to 55 million people. Then there was a shift in the use of nuclear power from military to peaceful purposes, such as economic goals, and many countries built nuclear reactors as an alternative to conventional fuels. In addition, nuclear power can also serve as a very strong deterrent factor to prevent open war. Indonesia's geographical position is currently surrounded by countries that own nuclear reactors, such as North Korea, Iran, Russia, China, and India, followed by the formation of the AUKUS alliance of Australia, the United Kingdom (U.K.), and the United States (U.S.). With the geopolitical conditions and escalation in the region, Indonesia should take precautionary measures to avoid a nuclear war in the region. This study aims to identify the best anticipatory steps that can be taken by conducting in-depth Focus Group Discussions (FGD) and extracting data using questionnaires from ten academics, diplomats, nuclear experts, military personnel, and professionals, which results in several alternative options. The option is then analyzed to identify which is the best by using Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method and confirmed with Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT ) Analysis. Based on the findings of the analysis, the sequence of anticipatory steps that must be taken is as follows: 1) through diplomacy; 2) through the strengthening of defense equipment; 3) participation in certain alliances, either temporarily or permanently, and 4) building a national nuclear capability as a deterrent. As a result, diplomacy remains the primary option for resolving the region's escalation

War is an important thing that is necessary for each country to defend the territory, as it can be a deterrent factor against the opposing war effort. In the modern era, war is no longer made by the truce, but it has been more referring to technology, politics, economy, etc. In this study, we analyze the causes of the Russia-Japan War, the strategies used in the Russia-Japan War, and lessons learned in the Russia-Japan war based on a military perspective. The theories used are a threat, energy, and war strategy. The methodology used is the qualitative descriptive method. Data for this study came from document review. The data were analyzed based on the analysis promoted by Miles and Huberman. This study found that The cause of the Japan-Russia war is the war developed from Russia's and Japan's rivalry for dominance in Korea and Manchuria. Japan planned a strategy that could cut the relationship between Port Arthur and the outside world. One interesting Russian strategy in the Japan-Russia war is when a public outcry against Alekseyev as commander in chief compelled Nicholas to send Kuropatkin to take over the command, although Alekseyev remained as viceroy. The Russia-Japan war underlines that a successful limited war strategy mandates the following: developing military capability commensurate to the strategy and identification of decisive points in the campaign; fostering synergy between the military and the political leadership; shaping the diplomatic environment for favorable war termination and compelling communication of the limited nature of the war to both domestic and international audiences

Even though copious studies have shown that a relationship exists between role conflict and the intention to stay on the job, the mechanisms that curb the relationship between role conflict and intention to stay have not often been explored. This study examined the moderating role of organizational support on the nexus between the components of role conflict and the intention to stay in the organization. Two hundred and eighty-seven (n=287) public sector employees were selected using the cross-sectional survey design for the study. Data was gathered using the Role Conflict Scale, Perceived Organizational Support Scale, and the Intentions to Stay Inventory. Multiple regression was used in analyzing the data. Findings indicated that a significantly negative relationship exists between the two components of role conflict (inter-role and intra-role) and the intentions to stay in the organization. There was a positive nexus between perceived organizational support and the intentions to stay in the organization. The nexus between the two components of role conflict and the intentions to stay in the organization was moderated by perceived organizational support. The results provide some crucial insights for employers on how to inspire employees to stay in the public service. The limitations, recommendations, and implications for future studies have been emphasized.
