The flossing-dementia connection: A comprehensive review of the relationship between oral health practices and cognitive decline
Authors: Srivastava Rangoli , Tangade Pradeep , Priyadarshi Surbhi
Published: July 2023

Dementia is a growing global health concern, with significant social and economic implications. As the search for preventive strategies intensifies, recent studies have investigated the potential association between oral health, particularly flossing, and the risk of developing dementia. This review aims to critically analyze the existing evidence and explore potential mechanisms underlying the relationship between flossing and dementia. Various mechanisms have been proposed to explain the potential association. Poor oral health, including chronic periodontal disease and dental plaque accumulation, can lead to systemic inflammation and the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines, which may contribute to neuroinflammation and neuronal damage in the brain. Additionally, oral bacteria and their byproducts may enter the bloodstream and reach the brain, triggering immune responses and neurotoxicity. Flossing may help reduce oral bacteria and inflammation, thereby mitigating these potential pathways. Additionally, investigations focusing on the underlying mechanisms are crucial to understanding the potential pathways involved. Promoting good oral hygiene practices, including flossing, alongside comprehensive oral care, may have broader implications for brain health and cognitive well-being.
Managing dental fluorosis: A guide to improving appearance of the teeth
Authors: Srivastava Rangoli , Tangade Pradeep , Priyadarshi Surbhi
Published: July 2023

Too much consumption of fluoride during tooth formation causes the disorder known as dental fluorosis, leading to changes in their appearance and structure. The severity of dental fluorosis is typically classified into different stages based on the visual appearance of the teeth. Mild cases of dental fluorosis may not require any treatment, and the condition may improve over time as the enamel continues to mineralize. In more severe cases, treatment options include teeth whitening, dental bonding, veneers, and crowns. While treatment can improve the appearance of the teeth, it cannot reverse the damage that has already occurred to the enamel surface. Therefore, it is important to take steps to prevent further damage by monitoring fluoride intake and practicing good oral hygiene. Regular dental checkups and cleanings can also help to identify and manage any issues related to dental fluorosis. Overall, dental fluorosis is a cosmetic issue which has got nothing to do with functional changes related to a tooth and appropriate treatment can help to improve the appearance of the affected teeth. In this article we will see various aspects of dealing with dental fluorosis right from its etiology to management.
Sleep-disordered breathing and dental sleep medicine: Implications for oral health and overall well-being
Authors: Dave Riya Divyakant
Published: July 2023

Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) is a prevalent condition that encompasses a range of disorders, such as snoring, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), and upper airway resistance syndrome. These disorders have significant implications for both oral health and overall well-being. Dental sleep medicine (DSM) plays a crucial role in the identification, diagnosis, and management of SDB, offering effective treatment options for patients. As awareness grows regarding the detrimental effects of airway disorders, particularly obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), as a sleep-related breathing disorder, it becomes important to recognize the potential role of dentists in offering solutions in this field. This recognition gives rise to a new aspect of dentistry known as Dental Sleep Medicine (DSM). DSM focuses on the practice of clinical dentistry with the goal of achieving an ideal jaw relationship and establishing normal oral function and performance. One crucial aspect of function and performance is the airway and breathing, which is among the most vital functions for human beings. Any alterations in the airway and breathing patterns can lead to changes in the posture of the tongue, jaws, and head, ultimately resulting in malocclusion. Early dental treatment not only has a positive impact on the teeth but also helps establish the best possible airway at an early age. Dentists now play a crucial and integral role as part of an interdisciplinary group involved in managing Sleep-Related Breathing Disorders (SRBDs). This review article aims to provide guidance to dentists in identifying children or adults who are suspected or at risk of SRBDs. Additionally, it will explain the roles of dentists and orthodontists in the management and treatment of SRBDs.

Published: July 2023

The central odontogenic fibroma (COF) is a rare benign odontogenic mesenchymal tumour of jaw bone derived from the odontogenic ectomesenchyme. It is characterized by a fibrous mature stroma with variable number of strands or islands of inactive-looking odontogenic epithelium. The presented case is a 46 years old male complaining of asymptomatic mandibular bony swelling. Radiographically, the lesion is unilocular radiolucent, with root resorption and displacement of teeth. Histopathology showed dense fibrous connective tissue stroma, loosely arranged with spindle and stellate-shaped mesenchymal cells, inactive odontogenic epithelium island and osteoid tissue. In this case report, we also discuss about the types, pathogenesis, and recent concepts regarding COF.
Effects of different dexmedetomidine doses on haemodynamic variability during laryngoscopy and intubation: A randomized double-blind study
Authors: Kalyani Dr , Meena Savita , Sharma Siddharth
Published: July 2023

Background: Effective airway management is vital in anesthesiology for preserving patient lives. Laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation, commonly used procedures, can lead to undesirable outcomes due to vagal activation and sympathoadrenal reaction. This double-blind, randomized interventional study aimed to assess the impact of two different doses of dexmedetomidine on heart rate and blood pressure during laryngoscopy and intubation, which often induce tachycardia and hypertension, particularly risky for patients with hypertension, myocardial insufficiency, and cerebrovascular disease.
Methods: Seventy-six participants, aged 20-60 years and classified as American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) Grade I & II, were enrolled after Institutional Ethics Committee approval. Random allocation assigned them to two groups: Group A (0.5 µg/kg dexmedetomidine) and Group B (1.0 µg/kg dexmedetomidine) before anesthesia induction. Hemodynamic measurements were recorded at various time points: pre- and post-drug administration, before intubation, and at intervals thereafter.
Results: Both groups exhibited similar age, weight, and gender distribution. Group B consistently demonstrated lower hemodynamic variables compared to Group A after laryngoscopy and intubation. Additionally, Group B required a smaller induction dose of propofol than Group A. No significant adverse effects were reported in either group during the study.
Conclusion: The study suggests that intravenous administration of dexmedetomidine at a rate of 1 µg/kg is more effective than 0.5 µg/kg in attenuating the physiological response to laryngoscopy and intubation. Moreover, it reduces the required propofol dose for anesthesia induction. These findings highlight the potential benefits of higher dexmedetomidine doses in mitigating adverse physiological effects during airway management procedures

Authors: Das Kuldip , Padhi Tanmay , Panigrahi Deepak , Dash Ranjan
Published: July 2023

With chemotherapy being the major modality of treatment, cutaneous and systemic side effects have been a concern for not only the patients, but also the treating clinicians. Because chemotherapy target not only the cancer cells, but also the other rapidly proliferating cells, skin and skin appendages like hair and nails are most commonly affected.

: To study the cutaneous adverse events associated with the commonly used cancer chemotherapy drugs.

: 120 patients of clinically diagnosed cancer who underwent chemotherapy and satisfied the inclusion and exclusion criteria were included in this observational study. Photographic images of skin, hair and nails were taken before and after every cycle of chemotherapy were collected. Data were analysed using SPSS version 16.0.

: 120 patients including 72 females and 48 males were included in this study with majority (56%) belonging to age group of 55-70 years. The common indications for chemotherapy were carcinoma breast (34%), carcinoma oropharynx (22%) and carcinoma stomach (12%).Hair changes were the most common presentation, reported in 38 patients, skin changes in 35 cases, nail changes in 15 cases. Xerosis (46%) and hyperpigmentation (22%) were the most commonly observed adverse event affecting skin.

: Since all cancer chemotherapy agents are not target based, adverse effects of skin and appendages become inevitable. However, early detection of such adverse effects can help them managed effectively and thereby reducing the morbidity and increasing the quality of life of cancer patients.

Implementing airborne infection control measures as per guidelines are very important in preventing the spread of airborne infections. Therefore the purpose of this study was to evaluate the gaps in knowledge, attitude, implementation and satisfaction levels regarding the availability of resources for airborne infection control among the nursing staff of a medical college in central India during the COVID-19 pandemic.

A cross-sectional survey was done in which 109 nurses participated. This self-administrable questionnaire contained five parts (General information, knowledge, attitude, implementation and satisfaction regarding available resources) and was distributed to the participants. The correct responses as per the National airborne infection control guideline, Ministry of Health and family Welfare, Government of India, 2010 (NAIC) were scored and assessed.

The mean age of the participants was 28.9 + 3.02 years. The mean scores out of total score of 10 were 5.48 + 1.2 for knowledge, 6.78 +1.0 for attitude, 5.21 + 1.1 for implementation, and 4.28 + 0.9 for satisfaction of available resources. The knowledge was adequate in 46.8%, the attitude was positive in 89.9 %, the guideline implementation was adequate in 45.9% and the resource satisfaction was only in 9.2% of study participants.

Although the nurses had a positive attitude to airborne infection control practices, the overall knowledge and implementation of NAIC were barely adequate and the majority of subjects felt gaps in the availability of resources in implementations of these guidelines. Therefore, it is recommended to enforce their training, ensuring better availability of resources and strict monitoring from hospital administrations for better implementation of NAIC.

Published: July 2023

: In Chiari malformation type I (CIM), the cerebellar tonsils and the medial parts of the inferior cerebellar lobules are displaced downward through the foramen magnum into the upper cervical spinal canal. The primary surgical treatment for the Chiari I malformation is foramen magnum decompression. This study was undertaken to assess the clinical outcome in terms of clinical symptoms improvement in patients with Chiari malformation type I treated with foramen magnum decompression with duraplasty vs. primary repair of dura.

: A total of 32, 24 patients retrospectively and 8 cases prospectively were studied after being diagnosed and operated on for Chiari malformation type I. Patients with Chiari types II, III, and IV were not allowed to participate. Before and one year after surgery, a questionnaire was utilized to measure improvements in neck pain and impairment caused by it, head aches and disability caused by it, and overall health. The findings of both groups' questionnaires were analysed and compared.

: The third decade (34.38%) was the most prevalent age group for presentations, followed by the fourth decade (31.25 %). The ratio of males to females was 1.2:1. Sensory disturbances were the most frequent presenting symptom, found in 25 patients (78.13%), and followed by neck discomfort in 14 patients (43.75%). Leg weakness was the most frequent symptom, which was reported in 20 patients (62.50%). The foramen magnum decompression and duraplasty was done in 18 patients, whereas the foramen magnum decompression and primary repair was done in 14 patients. In the duraplasty group, there were greater problems. The Duraplasty group had an overall clinical improvement rate of 88.89%, while the non duraplasty group had a lower overall clinical improvement rate of 50%. Specific complaints such as neck discomfort improved at a comparable rate (88.89%) in the duraplasty group compared to the non-duraplasty group (80%).

: Although foramen magnum decompression with duraplasty is preferable to foramen magnum decompression with primary repair, duraplasty is associated with a slightly greater risk of complication. Selected patients benefit from foramen magnum decompression alone, but further prospective randomized control studies are needed to learn more.

Published: July 2023

Ovarian tumours (OTs) can occur in all age groups, account for 20% of benign and 6% of malignant cases. Increasing age, nulliparity, lower fertility and so on are the risk factors of OTs. With this a study was conducted to categorize OTs based on histopathology, to analyse with respect to the age and classify according to WHO guidelines.

This was a prospective, cross-sectional study conducted in the department of Pathology, government Medical College, RIMS, Srikakulam. Study was conducted from July 2019 to December 2020. Study protocol was approved by the institutional ethics committee. Women, aged >18yrs, suspected to be OTs, were included in the study. Specimen in the form of partial or total abdominal hysterectomy were considered. The macroscopic features were recorded in the study proforma, fixed in 10% formalin. Biopsy were taken from multiple as well as relevant areas, thoroughly processed stained with haematoxylin and eosin, examined under the light microscope.

Out of 62tumors, 90% were benign tumors (BET) followed by malignant tumors (MLT) and borderline tumors (BLT). Majority were BETs, in 31 – 40 years group. Out of 5 MLTs, maximum (3) were detected in 41 – 50 years. Majority (3) of MLTs were surface epithelial tumours.

Thorough study of gross and microscopic features not only help in the proper categorization but also provide a route for treatment plan as the therapeutic approach varies with the subtype of OT. The immunohistochemistry analysis may be an aid if any ambiguity in the diagnosis.

Childhood Immunization almost guarantees protection from many major diseases. Immunization is regarded as one of the most successful and cost effective public health interventions which averts about 3 million deaths annually and has the potential, if coverage improves, of saving the lives of an additional 1.5 million children annually.

To study the knowledge, attitude and practice among the mothers (studied up to class 10th) of children under 5 years regarding immunization status attending a tertiary care hospital during study period.

The study was conducted in the department of pediatrics, SCB Medical College, Cuttack from September 2019 to October 2021. It is a cross sectional study.

94.9% mothers had received information from health personnel, 0.9% from family and friends, 1.2% from media or literature and 3.1% from previous births. There is a significant correlation between education and caste and religion with immunization status. 85% of mothers who had studied high school had completely immunized their children, emphasizing the importance of education in immunization. Educated mothers and those who delivered in the hospital have better knowledge, attitude and practice towards immunization.

Regular orientation programmes on immunization for women may be arranged by health providers to educate women and share their information to appropriate levels of knowledge of each mother’s understanding to compensate communication gap.

Authors: Naik Preeta , Das Manasa
Published: July 2023

Upper gastrointestinal tract (UGIT) comprises of esophagus, stomach and duodenum till the second part. Diseases affecting this region include inflammatory lesions, dysplasias, benign neoplasms and malignancies. Endoscopic biopsy and histopathological examination is considered as gold standard for gastrointestinal disorders. Endoscopic biopsy aids in early diagnosis of malignancy and better patient management. Present study was conducted with an aim of studying various histopathological features of endoscopic biopsies obtained from the UGIT.

This study was a retrospective study of all UGIT endoscopic biopsies that were received from January 2015 to April 2020. Archived hematoxylin and eosin stained slides were retrieved and reviewed for various morphological abnormalities.

During the study period 70 endoscopic biopsies from the UGIT were received. The incidence of malignancy was 74% and non-neoplastic lesions amounted to 26% of the biopsies. Biopsies from the esophagus (63%) constituted the major portion, followed by stomach (34%) and duodenum (3%).

In our study incidence of malignancy outnumbered the non-neoplastic conditions. Esophagus was the most commonly biopsied site and squamous cell carcinoma of middle part of the esophagus was the most common malignancy. Inflammatory conditions constituted major part of the non-neoplastic lesions.

Cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) jets with helium (He) and argon (Ar) plasma-forming gases were used to modify the structure, photoluminescence (PL), and electrical properties of arrays of silicon nanowires (SiNWs) with initial cross-section sizes of the order of 100 nm and length of about 7‒8 microns. The CAP source consisted of a 30 kHz voltage generator with a full power up to 5 W and the CAP treatment for 1‒5 min resulted in spattering of SiNWs’ tips followed by redeposition of silicon atoms. An increase of the silicon oxide phase and a decrease of the PL intensity were observed in the plasma processed SiNW arrays. A decrease of the free hole concentration and an increase in the free electron density were revealed in heavily boron and phosphorous doped SiNWs, respectively, as it was monitored by means of the Raman spectroscopy, considering a coupling of the light scattering by phonon and free charge carriers (Fano effect) in SiNWs. The obtained results demonstrate that the CAP treatment can be used to change the length, sharpness, luminescence intensity, and electrical properties of silicon nanowires for possible applications in optoelectronics and sensorics.

Кроме того, их вторичное использование может в несколько раз уменьшить затраты на новое производство. В дорожном строительстве преимущества очевидны. Во время ремонта дорог снимается большое количество асфальтобетона. Раньше этот «лом» считался отходом, однако сейчас, с использованием современных технологий, строители понимают, что это источник нового «черного золота». В данной статье приведена технология переработки старого асфальтобетона, после которой его можно использовать в последующем дорожном строительстве и приготовлении асфальтобетонных смесей. Данная технология называется рециклингом

Of Dog and Dice: Affective-Messy Posthuman Narratives Through Creative Pedagogies and Corresponding in the Classroom
Authors: Carlyle Donna , Robson Ian
Published: July 2023

Drawing on our work with children in education and with adults in Health and Social Care contexts, this paper presents two vignettes that demonstrate how the authors became “messy” researchers. This “messy” framework offered them the opportunity to view and understand the nuanced mechanisms of teacherly relationships as shared spaces and places of mutual discovery, well-being, and  flourishing. In a time when COVID-19 presents challenges to classrooms in terms of touch and social distance measures, re-claiming the body as discourse has never been more relevant to learning and educational settings.
Embodiment, Creativity, and Matter as Posthuman Agents in Research with Disabled Children
Authors: Bernardi Francesca
Published: July 2023

In this paper I examine creative autonomy in research with children, as both complex and relational, and reflect on its role in countering the deceptive dualisms, such as researcher/ participant, adult/child, knowledge/embodiment, that can predetermine how participation is imagined. This reflection is a process of recalling memories, extending the analysis, and simultaneously offering new and evolving questions and affective connections through responses to photographs from a cross-cultural study with disabled children.

Published: July 2023

Background: Abortion is a very common health problem of animals including goats and it causes heavy economic losses to the farmers. The current study was planned to assess the occurrence of abortions in goats reared under different farming systems and association of occurrence of abortions with stage of pregnancy, season and parity of the aborted goats. Methods: The data on caprine abortions from semi-intensive and free range farming systems was compiled and analysed. Occurrence of abortion in the goats reared under field conditions and at organized farms under semi-intensive management system was categorized on the basis of stage of pregnancy, season and parity of aborted goats. The statistical analysis of the abortion data was done by using Chi-Square test. Result: Abortion rates in goats reared at different management systems (semi-intensive and free range systems) differed significantly (p less than 0.01). Occurrence of the abortions was found highest in the field goats. Occurrence of the abortions in the different stages of pregnancy (early, mid and late) in the goats reared at organized farms under semi-intensive management system and field conditions differed significantly (p less than 0.01). Maximum abortions were seen in the later stage of pregnancy. Likewise, occurrence of the abortions in various seasons (rainy, winter and summer) in the goats reared at organized farms under semi-intensive system and field conditions differed significantly (p less than 0.01). Highest occurrence of abortion was noticed in winter season. Occurrence of abortion was also significantly associated with parity of pregnancy in the goats from the organised farms as well as in the field goats. The study concludes that abortion rate in goats are significantly associated (p less than 0.01) with management practices, season, parity and stage of pregnancy.

Exploring Sanitation Issues in Underserved Communities in Sri Lanka
Authors: Lakshman Iresha M.
Published: July 2023

The paper explores the sanitary experiences of people living in three low-income communities in Sri Lanka: Nawagampura, Salamulla, and Mahaiyawa. Qualitative data gathered from 30 households through in-depth interviews were analysed thematically to develop an understanding of the nature and magnitude of the sanitation problems encountered by residents. Salamulla is a high-rise building where residents have relocated from various shanty communities in Colombo. These complete houses have been given for free. In Nawagampura, similar shanty dwellers have been given two perches of land for free. Mahaiyawa is a shanty community occupied mainly by municipal council workers in Kandy. Most of the residents in all three sites do not have any legal documents to claim ownership of the house or land. Overcrowding throughout several decades of occupation has resulted in various sanitation issues such as clogged canals and drainages, overflowing sewages, unclean public toilets, flooding, urinating in public, open defecation, and ad hoc garbage disposal. Formal mechanisms to control these have failed due to unmanageability caused by the magnitude of the offenses and laissez-faire attitudes among authorities or residents.
