SECURITY STRATEGY OF SAUDI ARABIA AS A REGIONAL POWER IN THE UNIPOLAR SYSTEM (2010-2020)
Authors: BÜLBÜL PEHLİVAN Sibel
Published: December 2023

When the security policies of Saudi Arabia between 2000-2010 and 2010-2020 are examined, it can be seen that although there is no change in the internal threats to the Saudi Arabian Regime, there has been a change and transformation in its external threats. Therefore, although the internal threats are the same, in the alliance relations it has formed to balance the internal threats with the interrelated external threats, the interrelated external threats and the main threat have changed. In this case, it shows us that state behavior and alliance relations are constantly re-established as instant security measures. Threats, which are also seen as the dynamic structure of the international system, and the change in alliance relations necessitate a multifaceted approach for regional powers. This is also due to the features of Saudi Arabia such as the monarchical state structure, the competing allegiencies of the people, and the fact that it is a rentier state. For societies where the security of the regime is more important and prioritized than the security of the state due to internal threats, it should have multi-layered factors to ensure their security, because of their local characteristics. For Saudi Arabia, these factors consist of internal threats, an external threat interrelated with an internal threat, and regional and global threats. This situation gives rise to the omni-balancing strategy, which means that Saudi Arabia forms alliances with foreign powers interrelated to its internal threats and balances internal and external threats with each other. In cases where omni-balancing is not possible, various reforms, social assistance and cooperation initiatives come into play.

The metabasites from the Texel Unit (Austroalpine nappe stack): markers of Cretaceous intracontinental subduction and subsequent collision
Authors: Tropper Peter , Tribus Martina , Pomella Hannah , Habler Gerlinde
Published: December 2023

Eclogites in the Texel Unit (Austroalpine nappe stack; Eastern Alps, South Tyrol, Italy) represent the westernmost out-crops of the E-W striking Eoalpine High-Pressure Belt (EHB). East of the Tauern Window, the EHB forms part of a Cretaceous intracontinental south-dipping subduction/collision zone. The impetus of this contribution is to extend the geothermo-barometric data of the eclogites from the EHB using conventional geothermobarometry and multi-equilibrium calculations as well as Zr-in-rutile/titanite geothermometry and to put the P-T results of eclogites and amphibolites from the Texel Unit into the geodynamic framework. The investigated samples of this study are from the Spronser- and the Saltaus valleys (S-Tyrol) in the Austroalpine Texel Unit. The Texel Unit is composed mainly of paragneisses with minor intercalations of micaschists, orthogneisses, amphibolites and subordinately eclogites. The amphibolites from the Spronser valley contain the mineral assemblage amphibole + plagioclase + garnet + clinozoisite/epidote + quartz + titanite ± ilmenite ± rutile ± apatite ± calcite. Chemical zoning in plagioclase and amphibole shows two main growth stages: an older P-dominated stage (e.g. albite and barroisite cores) and a younger amphibolite-facies stage. The core of the amphiboles shows barroisite composition, the rim can be chemically classified as hornblende, edenite, tschermakite and pargasite. Geothermobarometric calculations with multi-equilibrium geothermobarometry (THERMOCALC v.3.21) yield temperatures of 600–654°C and pressures of 0.98–1.17 GPa for the same samples. The eclogites from the Saltaus valley contain the peak mineral assemblage omphacite + amphibole + garnet + clinozoisite/epidote + muscovite + quartz + titanite ± ilmenite ± rutile. Thermobarometric calculations, were performed in the system CaO-FeO-MgO-Na2O-Al2O3-FeO-SiO2-H2O with the assemblage clinopyroxene + garnet + amphibole + clinozoisite/epidote + muscovite + quartz ± H2O. The calculations involved an H2O-absent invariant point (mode-1 calculation) as well as two types of average P-T mode-2 calculations. The obtained average P-T H2O-absent mode 1 P-T conditions are 1.89 ± 0.18 GPa and 578 ± 60°C. Using the average P-T mode-2 two types of calculations were done: (1) calculations without amphiboles but with H2O present, which yield mean P-T conditions of 1.95 ± 0.28 GPa and 601 ± 55°C and (2) calculations with amphiboles but without H2O, which yield mean P-T conditions of 1.95 ± 0.26 GPa and 666 ± 77°C. Calculations using THERMOCALC v.3.33 yield similar results with slightly higher pressures of 0.3 GPa. Based on the present geothermobarometric data in conjunction with available mineral ages the eclogites represent the Eoalpine intracontinental subduction stage whereas the amphibolites reflect the subsequent, P-accentuated stage of decompression associated with the subsequent Eoalpine collisional stage.

Published: December 2023

Background: This research set out to assess the functional prognosis of constrained condylar knee (CCK) in patients with severe intraoperative instability and/or coronal deformity undergoing primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Materials and methods: A prospective cohort study including 25 knees (21 cases) who underwent primary TKA using CCK implants. Senior surgeon operated all patients during 2020/2021 and followed clinically and radiographically at three, six and 12 months and 2 years postoperative. All cases were implanted with a single-design, second-generation CCK implant with a mean follow-up of 2 years. Results: The current research involved 25 knees (21 patients) with mean age 62.8 ± 12.2 years and most of the included patients were females (19; 76%). Preoperatively, valgus was demonstrated in six patients (24%) while varus was reported in 19 patients (76%) with mean preoperative Valgus/Varus angle            24.4 ± 9.9. Mean preoperative Knee Society Score (KSS) was 13.2 ± 2.7, mean preoperative functional KSS was 23.8 ± 19.2 and mean preoperative range of movement (ROM) was 107 ± 19.2. After 6 months, mean values of KSS was 86.2 ± 7.59. After 1 year, 2 years & over 2 years, mean values of KSS were 86.2 ± 7.6, 86.2 ± 7.5, 86.3 ± 7.7 respectively. Degree of change in KSS before and after the operation was 69.1 ± 20.9. Mean values of late functional KSS was 62.5 ± 23.3.  Degree of change in functional KSS before and after the operation was 36.8 ± 19.1. Postoperative ROM mean value was 120 ± 6.9 with degree of change 12.8 ± 6.3. Three cases reported postoperative complications; one cellulitis, one anterior femoral notching and one peroneal nerve injury. KSS increased from baseline to early postoperative with statistically significant variances (p< 0.001) however, no statistically significant changes were discovered in KSS from early postoperatively to 2 years of follow up. Conclusion: Primary TKA utilizing CCK implants in cases with severe coronal abnormalities and/or intraoperative instability had a good short-term survival rate, on par with less limited implants. With positive clinical and radiological results, CCK implants can be thought of as a good alternative in some instances. It is important to exercise caution while utilizing an elevated level of restraint, since less restricted implants should be preferred.

Published: December 2023

Buckwheat (Fagopyrum sp.) is a traditional crop of Uttarakhand (India) known for its high Rutin content, a bioflavonoid with significant medicinal properties. This study explores the quantitative measurement of Rutin in various buckwheat varieties grown in different regions of Uttarakhand using Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) and High-Performance Thin Layer Chromatography (HPTLC). Twelve seed sources of Fagopyrum tataricum from the Garhwal and Kumaon regions, along with Fagopyrum esculentum seeds for comparison, were collected. Preliminary phytochemical screening of the extracts revealed the presence of flavonoids, alkaloids, tannins, and carbohydrates, with methanolic extracts showing higher concentrations. TLC analysis was employed to determine the most effective solvent system for Rutin separation, leading to the identification of three samples with substantial Rutin content. HPTLC was then used for quantitative Rutin assessment, with a calibration curve established using standard Rutin solutions. The three selected samples, along with the standard, were applied to HPTLC plates, and the Rutin content was measured based on peak areas and peak heights. The sample collected from Joshimath, Uttarakhand, known as "JOG," exhibited the highest Rutin content. This study provides valuable insights into the phytochemical composition of buckwheat varieties in Uttarakhand, which can inform the development of high-quality functional foods. Rutin, a potent antioxidant with various health benefits, underscores the significance of buckwheat as a naturally occurring functional food source. The results contribute to understanding the Rutin-rich potential of buckwheat grown in Uttarakhand and its applications in functional foods and nutraceuticals. Further research in this field can promote the cultivation and utilization of buckwheat as a source of this valuable bioactive compound with numerous health benefits.

Published: December 2023

AIM: To evaluate the effect of continuous wearing of Stellest™ spectacle lenses on refractive dynamics, accommodation, and binocular interaction after 6 months and 1 year.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: Children aged 8–13 years who had mild-to-moderate myopia were included. Stellest™ spectacle lenses were prescribed to 35 children with myopia (3.15±0.19 D on average). The control group consisted of 32 children with myopia (2.68±0.18 D on average) using single-vision correction. Refraction, axial length of the eye, accommodation, and binocular interaction were evaluated.
RESULTS: After 1 year, the average increase in refraction in the Stellest™ group was 0.19±0.07 D. A decrease in the annual progression gradient (APG) was observed in 82.4% of cases and averaged 0.72±0.1 D. The axial length of the eye increased by an average of 0.08±0.02 mm. In the control group, after 1 year of observation, the average increase in refraction was 0.6±0.07 D. A decrease in APG was observed in 51.6% of the cases and averaged 0.26±0.12 D. The axial length of the eye increased by an average of 0.26±0.03 mm. After 1 year, the increase in refraction and growth of the axial length of the eye in the Stellest ™ group was less than that in the control group by 68.3% and 69.2%, respectively. In the Stellest™ group, positive relative accommodation (PRA) increased after 1 year by 1.06±0.14 D and that in the control group by 0.6±0.16 D. The difference was significant (p 0.02). No differences were found between the groups in terms of objective indicators of accommodation. The stabilization effect in Stellest™ spectacle lenses was the least pronounced with esophoria.
CONCLUSION: The use of Stellest™ spectacle lenses slows down the progression of myopia in children and reduces APG by more than two times. A significant increase in PRA was found in children using Stellest™ spectacle lenses for 1 year compared with children using single-vision correction.

Authors: Pleskova Alla V. , Panova Anna Yu.
Published: December 2023

Congenital corneal opacities (CCO) are rare eye anomalies of various etiological causes. Given the heterogeneity of the clinical and morphological manifestations of CCO, its functional disorders are of the same type and significant, leading to visual disability. This anomaly occurs in 6 per 100,000 newborns.
AIM: To study the clinical and anatomical features and treatment results of CCO in children aged under 3 years old, who were treated in the Department of Eye Pathology in Children of Helmholtz National Medical Research Center of Eye Diseases for the period from January 1, 2010, to December 31, 2022 (12 years).
MATERIAL AND METHODS: The clinical and anatomical features and results of surgical treatment of 142 patients (172 eyes) with CCO aged 0–3 years were analyzed in the period from January 1, 2010, to December 31, 2022. According to the clinical picture, all CCOs were classified as congenital glaucoma, sclerocornea, Peters anomaly, anterior staphyloma, endothelial corneal dystrophy, dermoid, and Axenfeld–Rieger syndrome, and were idiopathic. Surgical methods included end-to-end keratoplasty, layered keratoplasty, limbokeratoplasty, and end-to-end reconstructive keratoplasty, including synechial excision, cataract removal, pupil formation, and anterior vitrectomy. The treatment results were evaluated based on the biological and functional results. The biological results of the operation (graft engraftment) were evaluated in the Kaplan–Meier model.
RESULTS: Congenital glaucoma dominates among clinical diagnoses of CCO (40% of all cases), followed by Peters anomaly, sclerocornea, congenital hereditary endothelial corneal dystrophy, other hereditary corneal dystrophies and anterior staphyloma, Axenfeld–Rieger syndrome, and corneal dermoid. In 5 (3%) cases, the CCO was defined as idiopathic. Surgical treatment was performed on 78 (86 eyes) out of 142 (54.9%) patients. The 1-year survival rate following transplants in patients with high blood pressure was 75%; with Peters anomaly, 67%; and with sclerocornea, 54%, and the 2-year survival rates were 70%, 63%, and 36%, respectively. The 1 and 2 years urvival rates following transplants in patients with congenital endothelial hereditary dystrophy were 88 and 82%, respectively.
CONCLUSION: The results show that CCO manifest heterogeneously in children aged under 3 years old. Careful anamnesis collection, thorough clinical examination, and additional studies such as UBM are crucial in obtaining accurate diagnosis and classification of CCO and provide recommendations on treatment strategies.

Authors: Pandit Sanjeet Kumar , Vohra Aditya , Mahali Ashim Kumar , Rajendran Karthikeyan Pandiyambakkam
Published: December 2023

Background: Chronic kidney disease is a major public health problem worldwide. As kidney function declines, it leads to several metabolic abnormalities including dysregulation of mineral metabolism. It is also reported that hyperphosphatemia in patients with advanced kidney disease is associated with an increased risk of mortality and cardiovascular events, and is higher in dialysis-dependent chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients compared to non-dialysis CKD. However, data in the Indian context is limited. Objectives were to evaluate and compare serum phosphorus levels and associated factors in non-dialysis and dialysis CKD patients. Also, the impact of dietary phosphate restriction and the use of phosphate binders on serum phosphorus is analysed.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at a tertiary care hospital in Kolkata, India, with 100 CKD patients: 50 non-dialysis CKD patients and 50 dialysis-dependent CKD patients. Relevant demographic, clinical and laboratory parameters including serum phosphorus, calcium, parathyroid hormone (PTH), alkaline phosphatase, albumin and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) were collected. Data was analyzed using appropriate statistical tests.
Results: Mean serum phosphorus was significantly higher in the dialysis CKD group (6.12±0.34 mg/dl) compared to the non-dialysis CKD group (4.56±0.80 mg/dl). Serum calcium and PTH were also higher while eGFR and albumin were lower in the dialysis CKD group. Serum phosphorus levels increased with advancing CKD stages in the non-dialysis group. Phosphate binder helped phosphorus control in dialysis CKD patients.
Conclusions: Our study is in confluence with other reports and dietary phosphate restriction and the use of phosphate binders help optimize phosphorus levels in CKD patients.

The utilization of Triple Antibiotic Paste (TAP) in dentistry has emerged as a significant development in endodontic and odontogenic infection management. With increasing cases of odontogenic infections, particularly in the context of the complex root canal anatomy, the selection of appropriate medicaments and disinfectants has become imperative. (1) In situations where conventional manual preparation and irrigation prove inadequate, TAP stands out as an intracanal disinfectant comprising a combination of three antibiotics, exhibiting a synergistic antimicrobial effect against a wide spectrum of microorganisms. This review outlines the multifaceted applications of TAP in dentistry, from its composition and clinical utility to its potential in preserving the vitality of diseased pulp. It also acknowledges the limitations and drawbacks associated with TAP's application, emphasizing the need for precise administration. Furthermore, it discusses TAP's role in primary teeth, expanding its scope beyond conventional endodontics. This research investigation explores the latest insights and considerations surrounding the "triple antibiotic paste" (TAP) and its applications in the field of dentistry, with a particular focus on endodontics.
Smart materials in dentistry
Authors: Srivastava Ruchi , Verma Pushpendra Kumar
Published: December 2023

Smart materials are the result of recent developments in dental materials. One of the most enduringly useful and dependable materials is bioactive material. Since there has never been a material in dentistry that is perfect in every way and satisfies all standards for a superlative material, smart materials have been developed in an attempt to find the perfect material, which could eventually lead to smart dentistry. Materials classified as "smart" have the ability to modify their properties under regulated conditions in response to various stimuli, including pH, temperature, moisture, stress, and electric or magnetic fields. When a substance detects a signal from its surroundings and responds to it in a practical, dependable, repeatable, and typically reversible way, that material is said to exhibit smart behavior. The ability of intelligent behavior to revert to its initial condition even in the absence of a stimulus is one of its most crucial characteristics. These qualities are useful in a number of industries, including dentistry.

Published: December 2023

The aim of this study was to evaluate the technical quality of endodontic access cavities performed by M1 and M2 students during the clinical teaching of endodontics.

The study population consisted of patients who came for consultation in the clinic of the Conservative Odontology-Endodontics Department of the Institute of Odontology and Stomatology of Dakar. The inclusion criteria were for teeth for which endodontic treatment was indicated and an access cavity was performed for the first time and exclusively by a student as part of the clinical training in endodontics. A survey form was drawn up containing the following headings: contour shape, visibility of canal entrances, body shape, and accidents along the way (stop, perforations, or flattening of the pulp floor). The chi-squared test was used to compare quantitative and qualitative variables and the significance level was set at p<0.05.

A total of 139 endodontic access cavities were made by students (56.8% by Master 2 (M2) students and 43.2% by Master 1 (M1) students). Of these, 35% of the access cavities made by M1 students were acceptable versus 44% acceptable for M2. The difference was statistically significant (p<0.05).

It appears from this study that the rate of technically acceptable access cavities made by the students of the Institute of Odonto-Stomatology of Dakar was insufficient. Thus, modifications must be made in the preclinical and clinical training program of Endodontics students.

Bacterial infection is widely known cause of apical periodontitis. Failure of conventional root canal treatment indicates the periapical surgery, this procedure requires root end resection. For the long term success of periapical surgery, root end filling materials are used.

To compare the push-out bond strength of Portland cement, ProRoot MTA and Biodentine used as root-end filling materials using Universal Testing Machine.

From the middle part of each root, three dentinal slices were made to produce 93 slices which were divided into 3 groups. In Group A: ProRoot MTA, In Group B: Biodentine and In group C: Portland cement were used and were further divided in subgroups based on soaking time in PBS solution i.e. 24hrs and 7 days before assessing the push out bond strength using Universal Testing Machine. The mode of bond failure of material to root dentin was analyzed using microscope. Data was analyzed using ANOVA and post-hoc tukey’s test.

After 24hrs, there was statistically non-significant difference but After 7 days, ProRoot MTA showed significantly higher bond strength as compared to other tested groups. While analyzing the mode of bond failure, ProRoot MTA had adhesive failure, Biodentine had cohesive failure and Portland cement had mixed type of bond failure.

All the tested materials showed comparable bond strength but ProRoot MTA had highest bond strength to root dentin among the other tested materials.

Authors: Chhabra Naveen , Krupa Desai
Published: December 2023

The study aimed to compare the cleaning effectiveness of a novel herbal solution with commercially available cleaning solution in eliminating biological debris from the surfaces of used endodontic instruments.

Thirty freshly extracted human single rooted premolars were decoronated to the standardized length. The root canals were prepared using rotary files till master apical size 35 (0.04 taper) and distilled water as irrigant. Used master apical files were assessed under scanning electron microscope (SEM) at 40x magnification at apical, middle and coronal third of working end independently for debris accumulation on the cutting surface of file and scored. All the specimens were randomly divided according to the group distribution as follows: Group 1: Synthetic cleaning solution, Group 2: Novel herbal cleaning solution. All files were immersed in the solution for five minutes according to the allocated groups and wiped using sterile gauze piece with one complete rotation covering all the flutes. Each used file was again examined under SEM at 40x at apical, middle and coronal third levels by an independent blinded evaluator and the residual debris were scored. The collected data were subjected to independent sample t test (p<0.05).

Statistically significant difference was observed amongst the two groups at middle and apical third of endodontic files (p < 0.05), however, difference at coronal third level was insignificant (p > 0.05).

The herbal solution effectively removed the clogged debris from endodontic files as compared to commercial formulation.

The Implementation of The Concept of Fairness of One Roof- Polygamous Family in The Perspective of Imam Syafi’i
Authors: Muhidin Abd , Jamilah Jamilah
Published: December 2023

Polygamy is legal in Islam, but the husband must be able to treat all his wives fairly. Husbands must only be fair in living (food, clothing, and housing) and time division.
