Background: In literature, problem-based learning is repeatedly conveyed in relation to medical basic sciences. It has been introduced in the syllabus of the surgery module very recently. Aim: To assess students' perceptions towards PBL in the clinical years course of their medical study, in a surgery module. Methods: A cohort study involves the 6th year students (academic year, 2019-2020) in their surgical course at the end of the newly introduced PBL sessions using a self-administered validated questionnaire. Their responses to close questions had been recorded using a Likert scale. The collected data and their open feedback were analyzed using SPSS version 21. Results: A-80 participants were responded to the questionnaire (male = 46 [57.5%], female = 34 [42.5%]). Their perception of PBL in the surgery module was more positive than negative. Results recognized that student’s perceptions were positive towards the pinpoints of the PBL, precisely in the issues concerned with working in groups, critical thinking and self-learning skills. More than 63% of the participants supposed that the PBL must be preserved as part of the surgery module. However, the number of students who had a negative perception towards PBL process overall was not negligible. Conclusion: PBL is palatable by students, so, it is encouraging to continue adapting this method of learning in the surgery module.

Published: March 2022

In this study, a new Kirschner wire (K-wire) design was performed to fix bone fractures in orthopedic surgery. The numerical analyses were completed based on the finite element method (FEM), using Deform-3D software. In this kind of numerical analyses using the FEM, friction, material model, the load and boundary conditions must be defined correctly. It has been seen that the new design is more advantageous in terms of implant failure or stability of fracture fixation. In addition, a good compatibility was found between the experimental results and the finite element analysis (FEA) results. This confirmed the accuracy of the finite element model. Therefore, this finite element model can be used reliably in drilling processes. We believe that with the use of new design investigated may have the role on the patients taking away from recurrent anesthesia and orthopaedic surgical risk.

Hard tissue boundaries are limited to pulp tissue and cannot be inspected directly for health evaluation so most of its evaluations are based on sensitivity testing. It is believed that electric pulp test (EPT) has some limitations in determining the vitality of the pulp. Therefore the objective in the current study was to see how well the electric pulp test and the cold test agreed in evaluating pulp vitality and sensitivity. Study Design, Place and Duration: This Observational/Retrospective study was carried from 1st March, 2021 to 31st December, 2021 at the Department of Dental Materials, Sardar Begum Dental College, Gandhara University, Peshawar. Methods: Total one hundred and eighteen patients of both genders had pulpits because of dental caries were included in this study. A range of ages were represented from 18 to 50 years old. As part of the informed written consent process, each patient was asked to provide demographic information such as their age, gender, and the type of teeth they had. Patients were equally categorized into two groups, Group I received electric pulp test and group II received cold test. Teeth were classified as vital if there was tingling or pain, and non-vital if there was no tingling or discomfort. Outcomes among both groups were calculated in terms of absence or presence of tingling sensation. Visual analog scale was used to determine pain score among enrolled cases. We used SPSS 23.0 version to analyze the data. Results: Among 118 patients, 67 (56.8%) were males and majority of the cases 60 (50.8%) were aged between 26-35 years, followed by age group 18-25 in 35 (29.7%) cases and 23 (19.5%) cases were between age group 36-45 years. Mandibular incisors were the most common tooth found in 47 (39.8%) cases followed by maxillary incisors 32 (27.1%) cases. By using visual analogue scale (VAS), we found that most of the patients had severe pain 90 (76.3%). The rate of vital teeth in group I was 45 (76.3%) and in group II vital teeth found in 41 (69.5%) while remaining tooth were necrotic among both groups 14 (23.7%) and 18 (30.5%). By Kappa’s statistics we found that overall frequency of vital teeth among all cases was 86 (72.9%). Conclusion: In assessing pulp viability and sensitivity, EPT and cold testing showed great concordance, according to this study. Electric pulp testers and cold testing currently satisfy the majority of the criteria for an ideal testing procedure and are still widely utilized diagnostic tools. When EPT and Endo frost are used together, a more precise assessment of pulp vitality can be made.

A congenital abnormality known as a single coronary artery (SCA) is usually discovered by coincidence. SCA is thought to affect as little as 0.024% to 0.066% of people who have routine coronary artery catheterization. Objectives: TSingle coronary arteries found on coronary angiography are the major focus of this investigation on coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA). Material and methods: The Rai Medical College in Bangalore conducted a cross-sectional study between April 2021 and November 2021. Pre-cardiac surgery assessment, evaluation of a coronary stent or graft, evaluation of cardiomyopathy or congenital heart disease, and evaluation of syncope were the most prevalent reasons for CCTA. These were followed by chest discomfort to rule out coronary artery disease. Results: Significant differences were seen in SBP, DBP, PP, and BMI between the control and SCA groups (P0.05). Neither group differed substantially from the other in terms of age, FBG, TG, TC, HDL-C, or LDL-C (P0.05). Conclusion: According to the course an abnormal artery takes, SCA can be divided into several unique subgroups for better understanding.

The Third United Nations Conference on the Law of the Sea
Authors: Føns Buhl Johannes
Published: March 2022

The European Economic Community (EEC) has the competence, to the exclusion of its Member States, to conclude international agreements in important fields, such as fisheries, on which the draft convention on the Law of the Sea contains provisions. Contracting parties to the future Law of the Sea Convention will not be allowed to make reservations to the convention or participate in it on a partial basis. It follows therefrom that provisions must be envisaged which would allow the EEC to become a contracting party to the convention together with its Member States.

This article outlines the legal background for participation by the EEC in international agreements and indicates the main provisions of interest to the EEC in the draft convention prepared at U.N.C.L.O.S. III.
Free movement of goods: Recent developments in the case law
Authors: Oliver Peter , Enchelmaier Stefan
Published: March 2022

This article critically reviews the case law of the European Court of Justice from 2002 to 2006. It starts by examining the jurisprudence on restrictions internal to a Member State, i.e. those imposed on transactions which do not involve traders or goods in or from other Member States. The concept of a customs union is also looked at here. The article then reflects on whether the provisions of Article 28 et seq. apply to the legal relations of individuals and companies inter se. It explores the relationship between the legal regime on free movement of goods on the one hand and those relating to persons, services, and capital on the other. There follows a discussion of the continuing development in the Court’s case law which started with Keck, drawing also on the Opinions of several Advocates General up to the most recent cases Commission v. Italy (Moped trailers) and Mickelsson. Moving from imports to exports, the authors analyse the judgments on Article 29 EC and call for clarifications in the Court’s approach. Following this, the article contemplates the cases on justifications for restrictions on the free movement of goods, encompassing the concept of “mandatory requirements”, the principle of proportionality, public health, public policy and fundamental rights as well as intellectual property. The authors conclude by commending the broad stability in the Court’s case law on these aspects of the common market, while highlighting their concerns about some specific developments.
When worlds collide! Competing visions of the relationship between direct effect and supremacy
Authors: Dougan Michael
Published: March 2022

This article examines two different models for understanding the relationship between direct effect and supremacy. The “primacy model” argues that supremacy is capable of producing independent “exclusionary effects” within the national legal orders, where a provision of domestic law is incompatible with Community law; direct effect is only relevant if “substitutionary effects” are at issue, where Community law is invoked as a novel source of rights or obligations not already recognized under national law. By contrast, the “trigger model” asserts that, for any provision of Community law to produce an independent effect within the national legal system (whether exclusionary or substitutionary), it must satisfy the threshold criteria for having direct effect; the principle of supremacy is thus a consequence of and dependent upon that of direct effect. The choice between these two competing models can have important practical implications, for example, in the debate about the “incidental effects” of unimplemented directives, or the potential legal effects of Third Pillar framework decisions. This article examines the conceptual underpinnings of the two models, then explores how far they are supported by the caselaw. It is argued that recent rulings such as Pfeiffer and Berlusconi undermine support for the “primacy model”; but older cases such as CIA Security and Unilever Italia remain difficult to reconcile with the “trigger model”. It is concluded that perhaps the ECJ itself has vacillated over its own understanding of the proper relationship between direct effect and supremacy, making it difficult for commentators to construct any coherent and descriptively accurate theory.
The double-headed approach of the ECJ concerning consumer protection
Authors: Johnston Angus , Unberath Hannes
Published: March 2022

This article analyses the development of EC consumer law by looking in detail at the approach taken by the European Court of Justice in its case law in this field, and the impact that this had had upon national law in certain areas. It contends that the Court has taken contrasting approaches to the desirable extent of consumer protection laws, depending upon whether that protection derives from national laws which operate as derogations from the EC’s Treaty rules on the internal market or from positive legislative activity at EC level. In the former area, the Court has been unwilling to accept many such national consumer protection measures, regularly finding them not to be necessary for achieving the relevant goal or to be disproportionate to that end. In the latter area, however, the Court has consistently given an expansive interpretation to the provisions in the directives on consumer protection. The reasons behind this difference in approach are discussed and it is suggested that the Court’s support for more interventionist consumer protection measures when interpreting the scope of EC legislation sometimes fails in fact to secure the protection which the Court seems to require, or only does so at the cost of far-reaching effects upon other areas of law and practice in the relevant sectors. In conclusion, it is suggested that these differences relate to the Court’s perception of its function in interpreting and applying the primary rules of the EC Treaty, on the one hand, and in promoting the objectives of secondary law adopted under that Treaty, on the other. Two fundamentally conflicting policies are the result: free trade is the priority of primary legislation while interventionist consumer protection lies at the heart of the case law on secondary legislation. Yet the Court’s holdings merely point to a deeper-level tension in the fabric of the Community’s philosophy of market regulation.
Seeing the Wood Despite the Trees? On the Scope of Union Citizenship and its Constitutional Effects
Authors: Spaventa Eleanor
Published: March 2022

The article looks at the impact of the introduction of Union citizenship on the scope of application of the Treaty. In particular it considers how the citizenship provisions have affected the personal and the material scope of the Treaty. By virtue of Article 17 EC the personal scope of the Treaty is expanded so that any Union citizen, and not only the migrant citizen, now falls within the personal scope of the Treaty. The significance of this finding then depends on the definition of the material scope of the Treaty, i.e. on the identification of the rights that Union citizens can claim qua citizens. In this respect, it is clear that Union citizens have a right to move; and a right to reside in any of the Member States (subject to limitations and conditions). Union citizens have also a right to equal treatment deriving from Article 12 EC. In this respect, the article argues that such a right to equal treatment is not merely an ancillary right which is conditional upon migration; rather, Article 12 EC is a self-standing right pertaining to all those who fall within the personal scope of the Treaty. As a result, Article 12 EC is capable of being invoked by static union citizens to challenge reverse discrimination.
