Exploring the Potential of a Serious Game Framework in Developing Systems-Thinking Skills
Authors: Irabor Thomas-Julian , Kambere Kavulikirwa Olivier , Humbel Maïlis , Manfredini Tiber , Antoine-Moussiaux Nicolas
Published: August 2023

Effective decision-making within veterinary practice demands a comprehensive understanding of interconnected animal, public, and environmental health systems. To foster systems thinking, participatory modeling and serious games are gaining prominence. Serious games combine play, instruction, and problem-based learning to facilitate skill acquisition. This study investigates the potential of a multiplayer serious game framework as a participatory method to cultivate systems thinking skills in a Master of Veterinary Medicine program.

The research focuses on the Territory Game, designed to encourage engagement and creativity, assessing its role in fostering systems thinking among veterinary students. Integrated into a master's course, the game immerses students in complex decision-making scenarios, aiding their navigation of real-world intricacies. Qualitative analysis of discussions and responses provides insights.

Results indicate that serious game-based learning within a participatory structure enhances participants’ grasp of decision-making complexities. The game's simulated environment promotes a broader perspective and consideration of diverse factors in choices. Additionally, the game framework exhibits potential to enhance group participation, autonomy, time management, and inclusivity for reserved individuals.

However, the study acknowledges that teaching methods like participatory modeling might not universally fit all contexts and could require instructor support. The framework's effectiveness is influenced by educational constraints, engagement levels, learning styles, and expertise.

Nonetheless, the Territory Game framework shows promise in deepening understanding of complex veterinary decisions and fostering critical systems thinking skills essential for effective decision-making. Future research should explore its adaptability, scalability, and long-term impact across diverse educational settings.
GEOLOGIA Y MINERALIZACION DE LA MINA LA ESCARCHA
Authors:   New Pacific Metals Inc., Menacho León Manuel
Published: August 2023

El área del Tajo Abierto Central de mina La Escarcha, contiene hasta cinco estructuras con mineralización de oro. Esta fue perforada en la década de los 80’s y 90’s, por las compañías Jordex y Dong W ong. Esta última realizo trabajos de explotación en los años 90. Al ser la zona con mayor presencia de estructuras mineralizadas es la que genero una mayor cantidad de información geológica. EMIRSA y SILEX BOLIVIA, efectuaron muestreos geoquímicos en canaletas y esquirlas que permitieron definir una zona de mayor mineralización y correlación en estructuras de 400 metros de largo y por aproximadamente 150 metros de ancho. Dentro el área del tajo abierto principal se ha realizado un mapeo a detalle 1:500, buscando correlacionar, estructuras mapeadas desde superficie, con la proyección de las vetas interceptadas en las labores subterráneas desarrolladas. La geología dentro el tajo principal comprende cuatro unidades de roca; en la base una unidad volcano- sedimentaria, con bandas de chert y BIF gradando a niveles de filitas negras, por encima una secuencia de rocas meta-sedimentarias de filitas sericíticas más arenáceas y niveles de cuarcitas, con probable flujo riolitico. En el mapeo geológico, se han reconocido estructuras, cortando estas secuencias. Además, se tiene la unidad meta-volcánica, que incluye meta-basaltos y gabros, que presentes a lo largo de los ejes de anticlinales y sinclinales volcados. La mineralización dentro del tajo principal de la mina La Escacha se encuentra emplazada en dos unidades muy importantes, que son la unidad meta-sedimentaria y la unidad meta-volcánica. La unidad meta-sedimentaria incluye niveles de CHERT y BIF y es denominada filita negra, esta unidad es muy importante ya que contiene la veta denominada C3, caracterizada por alto contenido de oro y varibilidad en su espesor, desde 5 m. hasta pocos cm. de espesor. Los trabajos de desarrollo de minería subterránea han permitido entender un poco más la parte estructural y de mineralización del sistema. Actualmente, se ha desarrollado un cuadro de 45 metros de profundidad (nivel -45) y un recorte de aproximadamente 75 metros. El desarrollo del recorte principal intercepta las estructuras denominadas C1, C2, C3, C y C4, al igual que labores de explotación vertical en chimeneas y rajos y corridas sobre vetas, principalmente C2 y C3. Con la información generada del mapeo geológico en interior mina a escala 1:200, se ha generado un probable modelo estructural, además, de estimar las posibles continuidades de la mineralización aurífera en profundidad, modelo conceptual, que deberá ser probado con programas de perforación a diamantina.

Selective upper trunk posterior division fascicular nerve transfer for proximal spinal accessory neuropathy: illustrative case
Authors: Wu Kitty Y , Spinner Robert J
Published: August 2023

BACKGROUND

Spinal accessory nerve palsy can lead to severe shoulder pain and weakness, lateral scapular winging, and limitations in overhead activity. It most often occurs because of iatrogenic injury from procedures within the posterior triangle of the neck.

OBSERVATIONS

The authors present the case of a 39-year-old male with symptoms of right shoulder weakness and neck pain after a total thyroidectomy and right neck dissection. With ultrasound findings of a neuroma-in-continuity but no clinical or electromyographic signs of reinnervation at 6 months, surgical intervention was indicated. Operative exploration confirmed a very proximal injury and nonconducting neuroma-in-continuity of the spinal accessory nerve. A selective distal nerve transfer from the posterior division of the upper trunk was performed. At the 2.5-year follow-up, the patient demonstrated excellent recovery of full active shoulder abduction and forward flexion, return to full-time employment, and mild residual scapular winging.

LESSONS

Distal nerve transfers should be considered in cases of late presentation when primary repair is not possible or long interpositional grafts are required. Selective fascicular transfer from the posterior division of the upper trunk provides the advantages of a single incision, short reinnervation time, and synergistic donor function to facilitate motor reeducation.
Jerusalem and Silicon Valley: Two Poles of Modern Civilization
Authors: Рупова Розалия Моисеевна
Published: August 2023

Поставленный Тертуллианом во II веке вопрос, что может быть общего между Афинами и Иерусалимом, в приложении к нашему времени может звучать так: что может быть общего между Силиконовой долиной и Иерусалимом? В данном случае Силиконовая долина — символ современной технотронной цивилизации. Автор статьи строит аналогию, основанную на том, что очевидная в начале несовместимость эллинской культуры с христианским Благовестием затем обернулась вовлечением интеллектуальных форм Античности в формирование догматического учения Церкви. В русле аналогии с этим синтезом рассматриваются имевшие место в истории науки альтернативные проекты, составлявшие противовес секулярным подходам естествознания Нового времени. В заключение делается вывод о необходимости перенести фокус внимания в этой проблематике с научной теории на человека, её творца, в руках которого ключевые ориентиры цивилизации, служит ли он идолу прогресса, или нацелен на идеал преображения.  

The question posed by Tertullian in the 2nd century: «what can be in common between Athens and Jerusalem?» (Here Jerusalem is the hearth and symbol of Christianity, Athens is named as the center of ancient pagan culture, where it reached the pinnacle of its development) — applied to our time, it can sound like this: what can be in common between Silicon Valley and Jerusalem? In this case, «Silicon Valley» is a symbol of modern technetronic civilization. The author of the article builds an analogy based on the fact that the incompatibility of the Hellenic culture with the Christian Gospel, which was obvious at the beginning, then turned into the involvement of the intellectual forms of antiquity in the formation of the dogmatic teaching of the Church. In line with the analogy with this synthesis, alternative projects that have taken place in the history of science, which constituted a counterbalance to the secular approaches of natural science in modern times, are considered. In conclusion, it is concluded that it is necessary to shift the focus of attention in this problematic from scientific theory to a person, its creator, in whose hands are the key landmarks of civilization: whether it serves the idol of progress, or aims at the ideal of transformation.
Transformation Augustinian Soteriology in the Theological Work of Bernard Clairvaux
Authors: Антонян Артур Романович
Published: August 2023

Статья посвящена рассмотрению антропологических и сотериологических позиций католического мистика Бернарда Клервоского. Показана рецепция тех богословских положений о безнадёжно повреждённой человеческой природе, которые когда-то выдвинул Аврелий Августин и которые получили своеобразное осмысление в творчестве средневекового автора. Особое внимание уделено вопросу о свободе воли в контексте учения о первородном грехе. Обозначены важные точки соприкосновения и расхождения между богословскими постулатами Августина и Бернарда. Также в работе выделены основные аспекты синергетической концепции спасения, которой придерживался Бернард и которая по основным своим положениям выходит за рамки августинизма. Целью статьи является определение тех специфических черт сотериологии цистерцианского мистика, которые имея основанием теологию Августина, тем не менее вступают в доктринальный конфликт с некоторыми августинианскими постулатами. Актуальность данной работы обусловлена тем, что преемственность концепции спасения от Августина к Бернарду Клервоскому не была предметом специального монографического исследования в отечественной историко-философской литературе. В качестве основного метода исследования автор использует сравнительный анализ.  

This article examines the doctrine of salvation by the Catholic theologian, medieval mystic Bernard of Clairvaux.Also disclosed in detail his anthropological position, which is the basis for Bernard's soteriology. The author shows the features of the continuity of Augustinian anthropology in the doctrinal postulates of Bernard. Particular attention is paid to the issue of free will in the context of the doctrine of original sin. The purpose of the article is to determine those specific positions of Bernard Clairvaux's soteriology, which, based on the theology of Augustine, nevertheless come into doctrinal contradiction with the Augustinian postulates. As a result of the study, author comes to the conclusion that the Augustinian doctrine of salvation is undergoing significant changes in the work of Bernard Clairvaux. The scientific work is relevant because the succession of soteriological doctrines from Augustine to Bernard was not considered in Russian philosophical science. In this article, the author uses the method of comparative analysis.

About one Archaic Ancient Slavic Influence on the Interpretation of the Phrase: «Get rich toward God» (Lk. 12, 21)
Authors: Корытко Олег протоиерей
Published: August 2023

Статья посвящена проблеме богословской интерпретации евангельской притчи о неразумном богаче (см. Лк. 12, 16–21) и заключительной её фразы о богатении в Бога. Автор обращает внимание на этимологическую связь лексем «Бог» и «богатство», делает экскурс в историческую семантику, представляя возможный спектр значений праславянского *bogъ и показывая на примере из родственных индоевропейских языков его отношение к идее судьбы и наделения человека благами. Влияние архаических дохристианских идей находит выражение в восприятии и толковании евангельской притчи известными русскими духовными писателями (в частности, свт. Филаретом Московским, свт. Феофаном Затворником, свт. Игнатием Брянчаниновым), которые традиционно объединяют экзегетические линии: доброделания нуждающимся, освящения земных благ Богом через жертву на церковные нужды и идею Бога как единственного высшего блага, которого надлежит искать человеку, жаждущему Царства Небесного и правды Его.  

The article is dedicated to the problem of theological interpretation of the gospel parable of the Rich Fool (Luke 12, 16–21) and particularly its final phrase about «richness toward God». The author draws attention to etymological connection between lexemes «God» and «richness» in Slavic language, makes an excursion into historical semantics, presenting possible range of meanings proto-Slavic *bogъ and demonstrating by examples from relative Indo-European languages its relevance to the idea of fate and endowing a person of benefits. The influence of archaic pre-Christian notions is revealed in perception and interpretation of the gospel parable by famous Russian theologists, such as St. Philaret of Moscow, St. Theophan the Recluse, St. Ignatius Brianchaninov, who usually combined the exegetic line of doing good deeds to people in need, consecration of earthly goods by God through sacrifice to Church needs, and also the idea of God as the only supreme good, which should be sought by person, who do hanger after the Kingdom of Heaven and Its righteousness.

Authors: Lamadi Sutini , Prastiwi Fajar Dwi , Raras Tri Yudani Mardining , Khotimah Husnul , Wiyasa I Wayan Arsana
Published: August 2023

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is closely related to oxidative stress conditions in insulin resistance conditions that increase Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) against the body's defense antioxidant mechanism. Chronic complications due to hyperglycemia in patients with GDM increase BAX / BCL2 levels which then activates the change of procaspase 3 to caspase 3, an activator of apoptosis. This study aims to determine the effect of the combination of Rosmarinus officinalis and Centella asiatica nanoemulsions on caspase 3 expressions in zebrafish models of gestational diabetes mellitus, with a posttest-only controlled group design. The samples were divided into five groups, namely K- (EM), K+(EM+3% Glucose), P1, P2 and P3 (3% Glucose + Combination of Rosmarinus officinalis and Centella asiatica 2.5μg/ml, 5μg/ml and 10μg/ml), which will be tested for PEPCK and Caspase expression at the age of 3dpf using Real Time-PCR. The results of the correlation test of the group with caspase 3 obtained (p = 0.045) negative direction. These results show that the combination of Rosmarinus officinalis and Centella asiatica nanoemulsion decreased Caspase 3 expression in zebrafish models of gestational diabetes mellitus. The combination of Rosmarinus officinalis and Centella asiatica nanoemulsion has the potential to reduce blood glucose levels and reduce the risk of apoptosis in gestational diabetes mellitus patients.
From Smart City to Smart Society: A quality-of-life ontological model for problem detection from user-generated content
Authors: Periñán-Pascual Carlos
Published: August 2023

Social-media platforms have become a global phenomenon of communication, where users publish content in text, images, video, audio or a combination of them to convey opinions, report facts that are happening or show current situations of interest. Smart-city applications can benefit from social media and digital participatory platforms when citizens become active social sensors of the problems that occur in their communities. Indeed, systems that analyse and interpret user-generated content can extract actionable information from the digital world to improve citizens’ quality of life. This article aims to model the knowledge required for automatic problem detection to reproduce citizens’ awareness of problems from the analysis of text-based user-generated content items. Therefore, this research focuses on two primary goals. On the one hand, we present the underpinnings of the ontological model that categorises the types of problems affecting citizens’ quality of life in society. In this regard, this study contributes significantly to developing an ontology based on the social-sensing paradigm to support the advance of smart societies. On the other hand, we describe the architecture of the text-processing module that relies on such an ontology to perform problem detection, which involves the tasks of topic categorisation and keyword recognition.

The muscle quality index (MQI) has been proposed as a diagnostic tool to detect individuals at risk of limited physical function.

OBJECTIVE:

Our goal was to examine the relationship of the MQI with physical function and compare its predictive ability with other muscle parameters of strength and mass in an older population.

METHODS:

Sixty-eight healthy older adults (34 male, 34 female) aged between 69 and 89 years were tested for body composition, MQI, maximum isokinetic concentric KES and physical function including sit-to-stand (STS) time, normal and maximum walking speed (WS), Timed Up and Go (TUG) and static balance. Pearson’s correlation was applied to examine the relationship between muscle parameters. Linear regression analysis including age and sex as additional covariates was performed to assess their predictive ability for physical functions.

RESULTS:

MQI correlated significantly with relative KES ([Formula: see text] 0.611, [Formula: see text] 0.001), total KES ([Formula: see text] 0.829, [Formula: see text] 0.001) and leg lean tissue mass ([Formula: see text] 0.690, [Formula: see text] 0.001). The MQI was not a significant predictor for any physical function ([Formula: see text] 0.05). STS time was a significant predictor for normal WS and TUG time ([Formula: see text] 0.001). Relative KES was a significant predictor for all physical functions except static balance ([Formula: see text] 0.001). No muscle parameter and only age was a significant predictor for static balance. Models explained 20.4%–57.3% of variances of dependent variables.

CONCLUSIONS:

The MQI is a useful tool to assess leg lean tissue mass and strength of the knee extensor muscles and outperforms STS time. However, STS time and relative KES are more closely related to physical function than the MQI.

Published: August 2023

Background:

Neurofilament light chain (NfL) is a marker of neuronal injury. Perivascular spaces (PVS) visible on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) represent cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) but their role as markers of neuronal injury needs further clarification.

Objective:

To relate PVS burden according to brain topography and plasma NfL.

Methods:

Framingham Heart Study (FHS) participants with brain MRI and NfL measurements were included. PVS were rated in the basal ganglia (BG) and centrum semiovale (CSO) using validated methods and categorized based on counts. A mixed region variable representing high burden PVS in either BG or CSO was assessed. Multivariable linear regression analyses were used to relate PVS burden to log-transformed NfL levels in models adjusted for age, sex, FHS cohort, time between MRI and clinic exam, and image view (model 1), vascular risk factors (model 2), and white matter hyperintensity volume, covert brain infarcts, and cerebral microbleeds (model 3).

Results:

Among 1,457 participants (68.1±8.5 years, 45% males), NfL levels increased with higher PVS burden. Multivariable analysis showed an association of high PVS burden strictly in BG with NfL (β= 0.117, 95% CI 0.014–0.221; p = 0.027), but attenuated in model 3. The associations were mainly in participants≥65 years (β= 0.122, 95% CI 0.015–0.229, p = 0.026), women (β= 0.156, 95% CI 0.024–0.288, p = 0.021), and APOE ɛ4 non-carriers (β= 0.140, 95% CI 0.017–0.263, p = 0.026).

Conclusions:

The association of strictly BG high PVS burden with NfL suggests a role for PVS as markers of neuroaxonal injury, but our results are hypothesis generating and require further replication.
Increased Resolution of Structural MRI at 3T Improves Estimation of Regional Cortical Degeneration in Individual Dementia Patients Using Surface Thickness Maps

Published: August 2023

Background:

Objective measurement of regional cortical atrophy in individual patients would be a highly desirable adjunct for diagnosis of degenerative dementias.

Objective:

We hypothesized that increasing the resolution of magnetic resonance scans would improve the sensitivity of cortical atrophy detection for individual patients.

Methods:

46 participants including 8 semantic-variant primary progressive aphasia (svPPA), seven posterior cortical atrophy (PCA), and 31 cognitively unimpaired participants underwent clinical assessment and 3.0T brain scans. SvPPA and PCA were chosen because there is overwhelming prior knowledge of the expected atrophy pattern. Two sets of T1-weighted images with 0.8 mm3 (HighRes) and conventional 1.0 mm3 (ConvRes) resolution were acquired. The cortical ribbon was segmented using FreeSurfer software to obtain surface-based thickness maps. Inter-sequence performance was assessed in terms of cortical thickness and sub-cortical volume reproducibility, signal-to-noise and contrast-to-noise ratios. For clinical cases, diagnostic effect size (Cohen’s d) and lesion distribution (z-score and t-value maps) were compared between HighRes and ConvRes scans.

Results:

The HighRes scans produced higher image quality scores at 90 seconds extra scan time. The effect size of cortical thickness differences between patients and cognitively unimpaired participants was 15–20% larger for HighRes scans. HighRes scans showed more robust patterns of atrophy in expected regions in each and every individual patient.

Conclusions:

HighRes T1-weighted scans showed superior precision for identifying the severity of cortical atrophy in individual patients, offering a proof-of-concept for clinical translation. Studying svPPA and PCA, two syndromes with well-defined focal atrophy patterns, offers a method to clinically validate and contrast automated algorithms.
Direct Conversion of Fibroblast into Neurons for Alzheimer’s Disease Research: A Systematic Review
Authors: Sattarov Roman , Toresson Håkan , Orbjörn Camilla , Mattsson-Carlgren Niklas
Published: August 2023

Background:

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a prevalent neurodegenerative disorder without a cure. Innovative disease models, such as induced neurons (iNs), could enhance our understanding of AD mechanisms and accelerate treatment development. However, a review of AD human iN studies is necessary to consolidate knowledge.

Objective:

The objective of this review is to examine the current body of literature on AD human iN cells and provide an overview of the findings to date.

Methods:

We searched two databases for relevant studies published between 2010 and 2023, identifying nine studies meeting our criteria.

Results:

Reviewed studies indicate the feasibility of generating iNs directly from AD patients’ fibroblasts using chemical induction or viral vectors. These cells express mature neuronal markers, including MAP-2, NeuN, synapsin, and tau. However, most studies were limited in sample size and primarily focused on autosomal dominant familial AD (FAD) rather than the more common sporadic forms of AD. Several studies indicated that iNs derived from FAD fibroblasts exhibited abnormal amyloid-β metabolism, a characteristic feature of AD in humans. Additionally, elevated levels of hyperphosphorylated tau, another hallmark of AD, were reported in some studies.

Conclusion:

Although only a limited number of small-scale studies are currently available, AD patient-derived iNs hold promise as a valuable model for investigating AD pathogenesis. Future research should aim to conduct larger studies, particularly focusing on sporadic AD cases, to enhance the clinical relevance of the findings for the broader AD patient population. Moreover, these cells can be utilized in screening potential novel treatments for AD.

Published: August 2023

Background:

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most prevalent neurodegenerative disease. The detection of early-stage AD is particularly desirable because it would allow early intervention. However, a minimally invasive, low-cost, and accurate discrimination or diagnostic method for AD is especially difficult in the earliest stage of AD.

Objective:

The aim of this research is to discover blood plasma spectral digital biomarkers of AD, develop a novel intelligent method for the discrimination of AD and accelerate the translation of Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectral-based disease discrimination methods from the laboratory to clinical practice.

Methods:

Since vibration spectroscopy can provide the structure and chemical composition information of biological samples at the molecular level, we investigated the potential of FTIR spectral biomarkers of blood plasma to differentiate between AD patients and healthy controls. Combined with machine learning technology, we designed a hierarchical discrimination system that provides reagent-free and accurate AD discrimination based on blood plasma spectral digital biomarkers of AD.

Results:

Accurate segregation between AD patients and healthy controls was achieved with 89.3% sensitivity and 85.7% specificity for early-stage AD patients, 92.8% sensitivity and 87.5% specificity for middle-stage AD patients, and 100% sensitivity and 100% specificity for late-stage AD patients.

Conclusions:

Our results show that blood plasma spectral digital biomarkers hold great promise as discrimination markers of AD, indicating the potential for the development of an inexpensive, reagent-free, and less laborious clinical test. As a result, our research outcome will accelerate the clinical application of spectral digital biomarkers and machine learning.
Multicentric Clinical Data Collection: A Game-Changer for Rare Neurological Diseases
Authors: Bruffaerts Rose , Crosiers David
Published: August 2023

Although neuropsychiatric symptoms are a hallmark of the behavioral variant of frontotemporal degeneration (FTD), there is limited evidence on the optimal therapeutic management of these symptoms. In this issue, Katisko et al. report real-world multicentric data on the use of psychopharmacological medication in newly diagnosed patients with FTD. Such reports contribute to knowledge sharing between clinicians caring for patients with FTD. Here, we outline how improved collection of clinical data can assure more robust evidence for future therapies in FTD and other rare neurological diseases.

Authors: Wobcke Wayne , Mariyah Siti
Published: August 2023

Recent years have seen increased interest in the use of alternative data sources in the definition and production of official statistics and indicators for the UN Sustainable Development Goals. In this paper, we consider the application of data science to the production of official statistics, illustrating our perspective through the use of poverty targeting as an application. We show that machine learning can play a central role in the generation of official statistics, combining a variety of types of data (survey, administrative and alternative). We focus on the problem of poverty targeting using the Proxy Means Test in Indonesia, comparing a number of existing statistical and machine learning methods, then introducing new approaches in the spirit of small area estimation that utilize area-level features and data augmentation at the subdistrict level to develop more refined models at the district level, evaluating the methods on three districts in Indonesia on the problem of estimating 2020 per capita household expenditure using data from 2016–2019. The best performing method, XGBoost, is able to reduce inclusion/exclusion errors on the problem of identifying the poorest 40% of the population in comparison to the commonly used Ridge Regression method by between 4.5% and 13.9% in the districts studied.

Published: August 2023

BACKGROUND: After stroke, gait training is a key component of rehabilitation, and most individuals use a variety of walking aids depending on their physical condition and environment. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate the potential effect of a one-arm motorized gait device for gait assist of chronic hemiplegic stroke survivors through comparison with traditional gait devices (parallel bar and hemi-walker). METHODS: This study was conducted on 14 chronic hemiplegic stroke survivors. The participants were asked to walk under three conditions using different gait devices, and their gait parameters during walking were collected and analyzed. The first condition involved walking on parallel bars; second condition, walking using hemi-walkers; and third condition, walking using one-arm motorized gait devices. With the use of a gait analysis system, the spatio-temporal gait parameters in each condition were collected, such as gait velocity, cadence, step length, stride length, single support time, and double support time. RESULTS: In the results by repeated-measures ANOVA or the Friedman test, a significant difference was found in the gait parameters among all three conditions (p< 0.05). The post-hoc test showed a significant change in the spatio-temporal gait parameters (especially, velocity, cadence and affected side single and double support time) when one-arm motorized gait device were used compared with parallel bars and hemi-walkers (p< 0.05). CONCLUSION: The results of this study suggest that one-arm motorized gait devices developed for hemiplegic stroke survivors may be more effective potentially than parallel bars and hemi-walkers in gait assistance of chronic hemiplegic stroke survivors.

Authors: Vavrickova Lenka , Kapitan Martin , Schmidt Jan
Published: August 2023

BACKGROUND: Digital impression technique or computer-aided impression (CAI) has been recently concluded as a clinically acceptable alternative to conventional impression method (CIM) in the fabrication of crowns, short fixed partial dentures (FPDs), and implant-supported crowns. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to investigate the patients’ opinion and subjective perception of two different ways of impression – digital and conventional. METHODS: A total of 45 patients were treated with CAI and CIM for the fabrication of tooth or implant-supported crowns. They fulfilled a questionnaire including 11 questions regarding the treatment time, gag reflex, discomfort related to manipulation, and other aspects of treatment. RESULTS: CAI was considered the preferential method for future treatment in 53% of patients, whereas 28.9% of the respondents preferred CIM. The preference for the impression method was influenced by the total time spent with the procedure, discomfort during manipulation with the tray or scanning head, size of the tray or scanning head, maximal opening discomfort, and (the tendency towards) gag reflex. CONCLUSION: CAI was considered a more comfortable and preferential method. Discomfort or difficulties during CAI negatively affected the patients’ attitude to CAI, whereas the difficulties associated with CIM did not have any influence on the preferred method.
