Single Visit Internal Perforation Repair Using a Novel HCSC and an Internal Isolation Technique: A Case Series
Authors: Careddu Roberto , Khaled Ahmed , Duncan Hal
Published: May 2024

Introduction: Communications between the root canal system and the external tooth surface are referred as perforations and are a common complication in the endodontic routine. Mineral Trioxide Aggregate is the gold standard material for perforation repair due to its characteristics such as biocompatibility and sealing ability. In recent years a lot of MTA-like products, commonly referred to as hydraulic cements or bioceramics, gained popularity as they set faster and are easier to handle compared to the classic MTA formulation. The standard perforation repair involves sealing the perforation first and then checking the setting of the material and completing the root canal treatment in a second visit. The internal isolation technique proposed in this case series is a novel, alternative method addressing the root canal treatment of a perforated tooth. Materials and Methods: Four cases are presented, each with a varying degree of perforation of the pulpal floor, all of them managed in single session treatments using the internal isolation technique. This technique involves the application of a fast setting hydraulic cement and its isolation from excessive water while completing the root canal treatment. The material thus can be allowed to sufficiently set before the end of the session, therefore allowing the finalisation of the complete therapy. Results: All the presented cases showed a positive outcome of the therapy. Discussion: The internal isolation technique appears to be a viable way to manage perforations while reducing the number of sessions required.
Evaluation of Centrifugal Pump Availability Trends and Analysis
Authors: Okirie Ahiamadu Jonathan
Published: May 2024

Centrifugal pumps are essential elements in industrial systems, facilitating fluid transfer and pressure generation across various applications. This study explores the vital task of evaluating centrifugal pump availability trends, focusing on three United Pumps crude delivery centrifugal pumps (P-90A, P-90B, and P-90C) over a span of seven years (2009-2015). With the use of derived equations and annual run-hours data from the facility's operations and maintenance database, the study ascertained the availability of the pumps. The findings and analysis showed that pumps P-90A and P-90B had significant decline in availability over the evaluation period (2009-2015), with P-90A finally failing in 2014. P-90C on the other hand, demonstrated relatively higher availability levels even though it was trending downward. The main cause of the decline in availability is attributed to the Original Equipment Manufacturers' decision to discontinue production of the pump model and its spares, which led to the substitution of locally made components for OEM parts. The study highlights the critical role, OEM support and its genuine spare parts play in optimising pump availability, reliability, and continuous operation—all of which prolong the pump's operating lifespan. It suggests improved methods, regular inspections, preventive maintenance, re-evaluating the quality of spare parts, and investigating replacement options. The study provides recommendations for improving pumping station performance and efficiency, based on empirical data and analysis, to industry stakeholders involved in crude oil delivery operations.

Authors: Marlina Gusti , Syarif Auzar , Gustian Gustian , Yusniwati Yusniwati
Published: May 2024

The staple food of the Indonesian population is rice. Utilizing mutation induction in rice research can lead to a significant increase in genetic diversity. This increased genetic diversity in the initial population will streamline the process of selecting desired traits. The primary objective of this study is to identify the most effective dose for inducing genetic diversity in local rice from Kuantan Singingi. The research focuses on the Singgam Putih genotype. Gamma radiation experiments are conducted at the Center for Isotope and Radiation Application (PAIR) BATAN in South Jakarta. Various radiation doses are administered, ranging from 0 Gy to 350 Gy. The planting process takes place in the greenhouses of the Dhabit Farm Experimental Garden in Kari Teluk Kuantan. Data collection includes observations on sprouting percentage, seedling height, number of leaves, and root length. The LD50 value is calculated based on the regression analysis of sprouting percentage. The findings indicate that the rate of sprouted seeds decreases as the gamma irradiation dose increases. Additionally, seedling height and root length decrease with higher doses of gamma irradiation. At the same time, the number of leaves remains unaffected by the radiation dose, which may lead to changes in leaf shape. The LD50 value for the Singgam Putih genotype is determined to be 313.63 Gy. Ultimately, the optimal dose of gamma-ray irradiation is identified as 300 Gy.

Authors: Midi Ahmet , Hazneci Beste , Güzel Yılmaz , Karadayı Ayşe Nimet
Published: May 2024

Objective: Ovarian serous borderline tumors (SBTs) are a distinct subtype of ovarian tumors that exhibit characteristics intermediate between benign tumors and invasive ovarian cancers. These tumors may display cellular changes suggestive of malignancy but do not meet all the criteria for full malignancy.
Case: This article presents the case of a 55-year-old female who presented to the clinic with complaints of pain and swelling in the lower abdominal quadrant. Upon examination, multiloculated mass lesions were found in the bilateral adnexa, and the patient was diagnosed with Borderline (low malignant potential) serous tumor. The patient underwent total abdominal hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, partial omentectomy, and peritoneal implant excision. Additionally, pelvic lymph node resection was performed, and abdominal lavage fluid was collected. The tissue sections were examined under a light microscope, revealing epithelial-lined papillae with a complex structure resembling the columnar fallopian tube epithelium, showing hierarchical branching. The patient was diagnosed with Borderline (low malignant potential) serous tumor, omental implants, and lymph node involvement.
Conclusion: The presence of lymph node involvement and implants in ovarian SBT necessitates thorough surgical exploration and may impact the choice of therapies. Therefore, early detection and accurate staging are crucial in determining prognosis and treatment strategy.

Authors: Yıldırım İrem , Uysal Niyazi , Akdağ Gönül
Published: May 2024

Objective: Spontaneous spinal epidural hematoma (SSEH) can present with symptoms resembling stroke, potentially leading to misdiagnosis and inappropriate treatment. In this case report, we aim to present a patient with SSEH whose clinical findings mimicked those of ischemic stroke.
Case Presentation: A 78-year-old woman presented to the emergency department with sudden weakness in her left arm and leg. Motor examination revealed a strength value of 3-4/5 in the left upper and lower extremities. Brain computed tomography (CT) and brain diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed no acute neurological pathology. However, cervical MRI revealed heterogeneous signal areas in the extradural region posterior to the C3-C5 level. Further evaluation with cervical spinal CT identified an epidural hematoma. The patient was referred to neurosurgery, and surgical intervention was planned. Following surgery, the patient's motor strength was assessed as 2-3/5 in the upper and lower extremities.
Conclusions:  SSEH can occur in patients with multiple risk factors, although significant risk factors were not identified in our case. Paraparesis and tetraparesis are more commonly observed presentations of SSEH than hemiparesis. In our case, hemiparesis was an initial finding that resembled stroke symptoms. SSEH most frequently occurs at the C6 and T12 vertebral levels, making the location of our patient's lesion between the C3-C5 vertebrae even rarer. In summary, SSEH may rarely present with symptoms mimicking stroke, emphasizing the importance of accurate diagnosis to avoid mismanagement.

Aim: To determine the current prevalence of postpartum infections and antimicrobial resistance and antimicrobial resistance of responsible pathogens in Ukraine.
Materials and Methods: Multicenter prospective cohort study was conducted from January 2020 to December 2022 in fifteen hospitals from twelve regions of Ukraine. Definitions of healthcare- associated postpartum infection were adapted from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Healthcare Safety Network. Antibiotic susceptibility was done by the disc diffusion test as recommended by EUCAST.
Results: Among 21,968 women, 6,175 (28.1%) postpartum infections were observed. Of all postpartum infection cases, 83.1% were detected after hospital discharge. The postpartum infection rates were 17.3% after cesarean section and 10.8% after vaginal delivery. The most common postpartum infection types were endometritis (17.3%), followed by urinary tract Infection (3.5%), mastitis (3.4%), surgical site infection (excluding endometritis) (2.4%), and episiotomy site infection (1.5%). The predominant postpartum infection pathogens in Ukraine were: Escherichia coli (10.4%), Enterococcus spp. (9.6%), Staphylococcus aureus (6.7%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (5.8%), Enterobacter spp. (5.8%). In our study pathogens of postpartum infection had differently levels of resistance to antibiotics.
Conclusions: Our results indicate that postpartum infections requiring medical attention are common in Ukraine and that most postpartum infections occur after hospital discharge, so that use of routine inpatient surveillance methods alone will lead to underestimation of postpartum infection rates. Optimizing the antibiotic prophylaxis may reduce the burden of postpartum infection, but prevention is the key element.

Published: May 2024

Aim: To prove an independence of CAC score comparatively to conventional risk factors such as age, and dyslipidemia especially in patients under forty years of age.
Materials and Methods: Thirty-four asymptomatic adult patients with no prior established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus or severe comorbidities, except of complex clinical examination, underwent CT scan with evaluation of coronary artery calcium score.
Results: The average total cholesterol level in the group was (5.62}1.02) mmol/l, indicating the presence of dyslipidemia. The average HDL level was (1.26}0.24) mmol/l, suggesting an average risk of atherosclerosis. The average LDL levels were within the borderline range at (3.63}1.01) mmol/l. The average triglyceride level was within the safe range at (1.93}1.08) mmol/l. The atherogenicity coefficient indicated a moderate risk of atherosclerosis with an average value of 3.64}1.31. The average coronary artery calcium score was 56.71}143.85, indicating minor plaques and a moderate risk of coronary artery disease. Correlation analysis revealed no significant correlation between age and the CAC score (r=0.1, p>0.05). However, reliable direct correlation of weak strength was found between the CAC score and LDL level (r=0.35, p<0.05). Direct correlations of weak strength were also observed between age and the levels of total cholesterol, LDL and the atherogenicity coefficient (r=0.43, 0.49, 0.42 respectively, p<0.05).
Conclusions: Coronary artery calcium score is a valuable screening tool for identifying potential obstructive coronary artery disease, not only for individuals aged forty and above, but also for younger asymptomatic patients.

Published: May 2024

Aim: is to find out the peculiarities of informed consent of the patient for medical intervention during biomedical research.
Materials and Methods: The dialectical method was used as a universal and general scientific method, which made it possible to consider the peculiarities of the content of the patient’s informed consent. Using the logico-semantic method, the essence and features of biomedical research with the patient’s participation were determined. The formal-legal method is used to analyze adaptation processes of biomedical research. System-structural method were applied when comparing the content of the patient’s informed consent in separate legislation. The work also used such methods of cognition as comparative-legal, systemic-logical, and logical-legal.
Conclusions: “Informed consent” includes not only the concept of consent itself, i.e. the free decision of a person, but also an explanation of a specific case or research procedure. And it largely depends on the specialist. Will he be able to convey and explain the patient’s problem, illness, actions correctly, fully and in an accessible form? Yes, free consent is given by a person, but the doctor also influences this decision to some extent. Patients’ freedom in choosing medical care methods is somewhat limited.

Published: May 2024

Cette étude met en relief les différentes caractéristiques du phénomène Kayaala qui, depuis les années 2000, devient une activité professionnelle qui absorbe une grande partie de la population féminine. Au Kasaï, environ deux femmes sur trois vivent de la débrouille. Elles s’appellent communément maman kayaliste. La population-cible est constituée de mamans kayalistes essentiellement. Cette catégorie des femmes nous a intéressé à cause de l’institutionnalisation du phénomène et la montée en puissance des effectifs des femmes qui intègrent l’activité. Certaines d’entre elles ont opté pour celle-ci leur spécialité et n’ont aucune autre activité rémunératrice. 255 mamans kayalistes interrogées, constituent ainsi notre échantillon d’étude. Les principaux résultats de l’étude montrent que le déséquilibre dans le ménage reste l’appel d’offre dans la nouvelle profession. Et le besoin de survie est le principal facteur motivationnel. Environ 75% d’entre les femmes actives dans ce domaine viennent de familles nombreuses, polygamiques ou divorcées et, ont une instruction maximum de six ans post-primaires.

Due to the developing intricacy and size of construction projects and the way that construction plan the executives is still generally performed physically, many ventures run over financial plan and into legitimate difficulty as an immediate consequence of timetable deferrals. Albeit the result of existing 3D reconstruction techniques is many times a model with immense openings, bends, or foggy segments, the result of man-made intelligence-based 3D remaking procedures is commonly a model with straightforward disengaged pieces that are portrayed as 3D boxes. Hence, overall, these algorithmic systems are lacking for certified use. The focal goal of this study is to apply the creation inadequately organized network system to 3D diversion by setting up a generative seriously organized network model to a related state, subsequently influencing the possibility of the fundamental 3D redirection model. Late 2D pictures are expected as models with no previous information on the 3D concealed shape or reference experiences. The revelations of a standard benchmark for 3D diversion procedures uncover that this algorithmic construction beats state of the art methods. Exploratory results show that our algorithmic system defeats state of the art 3D replication procedures on a standard benchmark dataset for 3D changes.

Unraveling Male Inexpressiveness : Causes, Effects and Strategies For Abrogation
Authors: - Biswajit Dhamudia
Published: May 2024

Male inexpressiveness is a pervasive phenomenon across cultures, poses significant challenges to individual well-being and societal cohesion. This abstract explores the causes, effects, and potential remedies for this complex issue. Rooted in social norms dictating masculinity, the reluctance of males to express emotions stems from early socialization, where vulnerability is often equated with weakness. Consequently, men internalize these norms, leading to suppressed emotional expression as they navigate adulthood. The effects of male inexpressiveness are multifaceted and profound. At the individual level, it contributes to increased stress, mental health disorders, and strained interpersonal relationships. Societally, it perpetuates gender disparities by limiting men's access to support networks and inhibiting their ability to engage in meaningful emotional connections.
To address this issue, multifaceted strategies are necessary. Educational interventions focusing on deconstructing traditional gender norms can challenge ingrained beliefs about masculinity and encourage emotional literacy from an early age. Mental health initiatives tailored to men's needs, such as male-friendly therapy spaces and support groups, can provide safe environments for emotional expression. Moreover, fostering inclusive workplaces and communities that value emotional openness and vulnerability can create conducive environments for men to express themselves authentically.
In conclusion, understanding and addressing male inexpressiveness is essential for promoting holistic well-being and fostering healthier relationships and communities. By dismantling restrictive gender norms and providing avenues for emotional expression, society can move towards a more inclusive and supportive environment for all individuals.
