Sports Related Dental Injuries
Authors: Choudhary Rishika , Kaur Harsimran , Yeluri Ramakrishna
Published: July 2023

Sports dentistry is an emerging section of dentistry. All sports-associated persons must have knowledge about injuries during all sports-related events. Since the very beginning, it has been known that participation in sports carries an extensive risk of sustaining dental injuries, with the increased popularity of sports like contact sports, semi-contact sports, and more support for children to participate at an early age. Dental injuries have become one of the most recurrent types of orofacial injuries that may occur during involvement in various sports activities and have a high rate of incidence between sports-related injuries normally during school physical education classes and club activities. The commonest orofacial injuries involve both soft tissue and hard tissue injury i.e.: facial bones, tooth intrusions, luxation, crown and root fractures, complete avulsions, and Dento-facial fractures. Prevention is of utmost importance to aesthetics for reducing the psychological and economic consequences of traumatic injuries. The most substantial feature in averting sports-related orofacial injuries is wearing protective devices like face masks, mouth guards, and helmets. The use of these protective devices by athletes has been shown to provide an effective safeguard against suffering.
Post COVID-19: Changing Perspective of Pediatric Dentistry
Authors: Kalaskar Ritesh , Chatterjee Shailja , Bhaje Priyanka
Published: July 2023

Novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is one of the worst pandemics known to mankind. It affects people of all age groups. The children may present with milder symptoms and may also be asymptomatic. In the current scenario, pediatric dentists pose a high risk of the disease due to close contact with not just children but also with their parents. Additionally, the majority of pediatric dental procedures advocate the use of an air rotor that generates massive aerosol increasing the transmission risk by a manifold. This, necessitates a change in dental practice protocol to adapt to the new routine. It requires modification in behaviour management techniques, tele-triaging of patients, stringent infection control, minimization and replacement with minimally invasive techniques along with the use of adequate isolation.
Talking to myself: a dialogue between practice and performance
Authors: Pond Julia
Published: July 2023

This playful, performative dialogue, a take on the self-interview format, brings together Julia, a practicing artist and mother, and her performative alter-ego Julia Pond, Founder and CEO of the fictional company BRED. Together, they navigate the blurred lines between professional and personal practice and performance. Departing from Schechner’s definitions of practice as ‘doing’ and performance as ‘showing-doing’, the self-interview problematises the idea that practice, more than performance, has the power to affect our real identities (Spatz 220). It proposes that, rather than ‘performance’ being fake and ‘practice’ being authentic; the two co-affect each other, influencing both artistic and personal spheres. What happens when we must show everything we do? Julia and Julia Pond discuss the performance of subjectivity, individuality or affect that is now integral to contemporary work culture but that might have once been considered the territory of the ‘personal’ or ‘practice’. They consider how the roles we perform each day blur into personal identity, imprinting into the body and mind through daily repetitive labour. This phenomenon can include the performance of mothering as well as performing an artistic identity. Julia Pond and Julia also consider how these themes function in the fictional company BRED’s participatory performance installation, and its excerpt ‘The Manager-festo’ which both embodies and critiques notions of ‘value’ and ‘productivity’ through the body, powerpoint, and bread dough.

Published: July 2023

HIjrah is not only limited on human relation with God, but also how hijrah discourse existence is delivered in the media as discourse battle arena. Niqab is a characteristic of a woman going through hijrah. By using multimodality of Gunther Kress and Theo van Leuween, this critical discourse digs deeper on phenomena of woman in niqab and contestation of piety show-off in the media. Based on analysis performed on four accounts of woman with niqab in Instagram, narration found that the most massive show-off action of piety are performed by niqabis, that is in the act of religious activities, such as reading Al-Qur'an, praying, suggestion on sadaqa and five-times prayer. Moreover, piety representation is also performed by using quotes in Arabian language and Arabian woman figure as illustration to legitimate the hijrah journey of a woman in niqab. Piety, not only it displays woman in covering clothes, but also intersection with popular culture. It’s existence is put together with the incidentally profane Korean wave love romance  This phenomena shows a paradox where there is incorporation of religious sacredness with the often considered profane Korean wave.

Meta-Learning Based Classification Model for Cardiovascular Disease (Preprint)
Authors: M Hariharan , Somasundaram K
Published: July 2023

BACKGROUND

Cardiovascular disease is a significant global health concern, being the leading cause of death and disability worldwide. The World Health Organization reports that cardiovascular disease accounts for 17.9 million deaths each year, representing 31% of all global deaths. Heart disease, in particular, is a major contributor to mortality worldwide.

Machine learning algorithms have shown promise in predicting the risk of heart attacks. One particular method, meta-learning, is a type of machine learning that enables a system to learn how to learn. Meta-learning encompasses a set of techniques that allow a system to improve its own learning process.

OBJECTIVE

In this paper, our objective is to propose a meta-learning-based classification model for cardiovascular diseases, specifically for heart attack classification. We aim to utilize a dataset containing 76 attributes, with the predicted attribute being the presence of heart disease.

METHODS

To achieve our objective, we follow the following steps:

We gather a dataset with 76 attributes, including information related to cardiovascular health and the presence of heart disease.
We evaluate traditional classification models commonly used in heart attack classification.
We implement a meta-learning approach to enhance the accuracy of heart attack prediction.
We compare the results obtained using the meta-learning approach with the traditional classification models.
Additionally, we explore the impact of using Synthetic Minority Over-sampling Technique (SMOTE) to balance the target classes in the dataset and compare the results with and without SMOTE.

RESULTS

Our results demonstrate that the meta-learning approach outperforms traditional classification models in predicting heart attack risk. The accuracy of the meta-learning model is significantly higher compared to the traditional models we evaluated. Furthermore, we observe that using SMOTE to balance the target classes improves the performance of the meta-learning model even further.

CONCLUSIONS

Based on our findings, we conclude that the meta-learning approach is highly effective for heart attack classification. The use of meta-learning techniques enhances the accuracy of heart attack risk prediction compared to traditional models. Furthermore, incorporating SMOTE to balance the target classes improves the overall performance of the meta-learning model. These results suggest that the meta-learning approach can be leveraged to improve the accuracy and effectiveness of cardiovascular disease prediction and classification models, specifically for heart attack risk assessment.

Authors: Al-Zebeeby Aoula , Abbas Ali
Published: July 2023

Objective: In this study, we report that a novel combination therapy of different statins with Ibrutinib can overcome such resistance.
Methods: For this, we generated a cell line model, exhibiting resistance to Ibrutinib, by repeated exposure of mantle cell lymphoma cell line to Ibrutinib. Apoptosis was assessed by the extent of phosphatidylserine externalisation.
Results: Our results indicated that resistance to Ibrutinib could be overcome by targeting a key enzyme, 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase in the cholesterogenesis pathway.
Conclusion: Reusing different statins in combination with Ibrutinib could improve therapy and enhance sensitivity to Ibrutinib mediated apoptosis.
Effect of Adipose Derived Stromal Vascular Fraction on The Early Inflammatory Phase of Burn Wound Healing in Male Rat Model
Authors: Noori Laura , Fakiha Khloud , Aljahdali Anan
Published: July 2023

Objectives: Severe burn treatment remains challenging. Research has investigated the efficacy of stem cells and stromal vascular fraction (SVF) in many types of injuries. SVF has advantages for its heterogenous population of cells and avoidance of culturing and ethical issues. SVF can be isolated either enzymatically or mechanically. Enzymatically isolated SVF reduced inflammation and enhanced neovascularization and re-epithelization in the treatment of burn injury. This study highlighted the efficacy of applying mechanically isolated SVF on the early inflammatory phase of deep partial-thickness burn by investigating toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) signaling pathway.

Methods: 30 male Wistar rats with deep partial-thickness burns were assigned into: the control group, silver sulfadiazine (SSD) cream group, and mechanically isolated SVF group. Morphological, histopathological evaluation of inflammation, and immunohistochemical analysis for (TLR4, TNF-α, IL‐1β, and IL-6) were evaluated for the first eight days post-treatment.

Results: Morphologically, the SVF group significantly reduced edema and increased wound bed dryness on day one compared to the control group (P=0.0001) and to the SSD group (P=0.001). Histopathologically, the SVF group significantly reduced inflammation four days post-treatment compared with the control group (P=0.045). The SVF group significantly reduced TLR4 protein expression on days four and eight post-treatment compared with the control group (P= 0.001, P= 0.042, respectively). The TNF-α protein expression in the SVF group was significantly lower on days four and eight post-treatment compared with the control group (P= 0.046, P= 0.046, respectively) and with the SSD group (P= 0.008, P= 0.001, respectively). The IL‐1β expression was significantly reduced in the SVF group compared to the control group on day four post-treatment (P= 0.017). There were no significant differences in IL-6 expressions between all groups on both days.

Conclusion: The mechanical isolation of SVF has an early anti-inflammatory impact on deep partial-thickness burn injury. This effect could be through inhibiting TLR4, TNF-α, and IL‐1β pathways. This could partially explain the mechanism behind SVF efficacy in the healing process of burn injury.
Effectiveness of radial Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy in Reduces muscle spasms in Stroke Patients; A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Authors: Hameedi Isam Ali , Shadmehr Azadeh , Alsaadawi Tahir
Published: July 2023

Objectives: Effectiveness of radial extracorporeal shock wave therapy (rESWT) on pain, range of motion and muscle tone in patients with stroke injuries.

Methods: PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library and VIP information were used to collect information for research conducted between the beginning of 2013 and the end of 2022. These studies were randomized controlled trials that used rESWT for muscle spasm in stroke patients with conventional treatments as controls. There are no specific restrictions on the duration of treatment, the type of reESWT, or the severity of symptoms. These studies must have assessed at least one of the following outcome mesurements: visual analog scale (VAS) for pain, Ashwerth measure for muscle tone or external rotation range of motion (ER ROM). RevMan 5.3 software was used to check the quality of included studies. For continuous variables, mean difference (MD) or standardized MD (SMD) with CI 95% were derived. For dichotomous data, event proportions and sample sizes were extracted.

Results: In the conducted investigations, it was found that 7 studies investigated the effectiveness of rESWT  treatments after the intervention in comparison with conventional treatment in terms of reducing pain intensity. In total, all 7 studies showed that the rESWT intervention was effective in reducing pain intensity compared to conventional treatments (MD, –0.97 [95% CI, –2.13 to –0.42], P < .00001, I2 = 71%). Compared with traditional treatments, the effectiveness of rESWT plus routine treatments on muscle tone after intervention was assessed in terms of Ashwerth critrion  in 4 trials (SMD, 1.13 [95% CI, 0.46-1.23], P < .00001, I2 =  59%). ER ROM was used to reflect the ROM, which was assessed in 4 RCTs. Because of the limited number of studies, ER ROM was measured immediately after treatment in all included studies. The pooled result of the included studies showed that the heterogeneity was high and unacceptable (MD, 10.31 [95% CI, 2.47–16.18], P < .003, I2 = 81%).

Conclusion: The results of this research indicated that rESWT treatment can be used as a safe and non-invasive method to quickly reduce spasticity and increase joint range of motion in stroke patients. But more research on the long-term effects of rESWT as well as the factors influencing its effectiveness to reduce spasticity and comparison with other new treatment protocols is suggested.

Published: July 2023

Objectives: This study set out to determine how Calprotectin and B cell activating factor contributes to early COVID-19 patient severity prediction.

Methods: The study included 25 healthy controls and 52 patients with SARS-COV2 infection who were clinically diagnosed with COVID-19 illness and were between the ages of 23 and 35. The serum levels of CALP and BAFF were measured using the ELISA method. To gauge CRP levels, an immunoturbidometric assay was performed.

Results: Variations in serum levels of CALP and BAFF were found to be statistically insignificant in the study (P=0.7109 & P=0.7575, respectively). When compared to the control group (103.95±36.67 ng/mL; 403.03±1.03), COVID-19 patients had non-significantly raised levels of CALP and BAFF (106.5±4.67 ng/mL; 436.9±12.77 pg/mL, respectively). According to ROC curve analysis, the area under the receiver operating characteristics curve (AUC) for CALP and BAFF was (0.5170) and (0.5259), respectively. (r=0.6923; P=0.0001). There was a significant positive correlation between serum CALP and BAFF levels. The connection between serum CRP levels and CALP (r=0.3010; P=0.1271) and BAFF levels (r=0.2912; P=0.1406) was insignificantly positive.

Conclusion: The current study's findings suggested that serum CALP and BAFF concentrations were increased in COVID-19 patients, suggesting that these inflammatory markers may be helpful indicators of the severity of COVID-19.

Gene editing techniques (GET) may add precision and speed to the genetic improvement process. However, some adults remain skeptical. We examined U.S. consumer sentiment and concerns about foods derived from GET following information treatments. Randomly assigned participants viewed either: an industry-based video, a food blogger video, or a written article. We coded sentiment and themes of open-ended survey responses. Most responses were in favor of GET after intervention; the industry video produced the most negative attitudes; and technical benefits, concerns, and effects emerged among themes. Our research will help design engagement to boost consumer understanding of GET risks and benefits.

Published: July 2023

In early 2019, Indonesia launched its Covid-19 vaccination program. However, this was met with controversy and widespread hoax news, resulting in increased vaccine hesitancy and lower vaccination rates. To combat this, the government implemented a penalty system for those in the target vaccination group who refused the vaccine without medical justification. These penalties included travel bans, restrictions on public services, and delayed salary payments for government employees. As the pandemic and global situation evolved, the government adjusted the regulations multiple times. Despite the controversy surrounding the penalty system, it has proven effective in increasing vaccination rates dramatically. This article reviews the impact of the penalty system on the Covid-19 vaccination program in Indonesia between 2021 and 2022. This review highlights that the effectiveness of the penalty system in increasing vaccination rates, despite its controversy.

Islamic religious education in schools or madrasas, in its implementation, still shows problems that are less than encouraging. So far, there is an impression that students are less enthusiastic in participating in PAI learning. The teacher becomes the center of attention of students and seems to be the sole source of information. This fact gets worse when the available reference books are not proportional to the number of students. So that the learning process is dominated by note-taking activities. In the end, the teacher failed to create a dialogical atmosphere in classroom learning. Therefore, innovation of learning methods in education is very necessary. Innovation is a manifestation of a change that is not just changing for the better, innovation in learning methods is a systematic and structured update step from various aspects. With innovation, everything will be renewed for a better purpose. Teachers who innovate in learning methods are able to open up the horizons of innovative students, so that student enthusiasm emerges which then instills facts or concepts into students' deepest memories. Through innovative learning methods, the classroom atmosphere is not confined to a rigid and monotonous atmosphere. Students need to be invited more to discuss, interact, and have dialogue so that they are able to construct scientific concepts and principles themselves, not by being fed or lectured. Students also need to be accustomed to differing opinions so that they become intelligent and critical figures. Of course, democratically, without forgetting scientific principles, the teacher needs to provide reinforcements so that there are no misunderstandings.
