Authors: Linjawi AI , Othman MA , Dirham AA , Ghoneim SH , Aljohani SR , Dause RR , Marghalani HYA
Published: November 2021

Background:

The incisive canal (IC) is an important anatomical structure in the premaxilla that should be considered during many dental procedures.

Aims:

The objective of this study is to associate the IC morphology and dimensions with reference to gender and age by means of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT).

Patients and Methods:

A retrospective study was conducted using archived CBCT records of patients who sought treatment at the Faculty of Dentistry, King Abdulaziz University, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. OnDemand 3D Imaging software was utilized in image reconstruction and measurement determination. The parameters evaluated were the IC shape and dimensions in a sagittal and coronal view at two levels: palatal opening and nasal opening. The variables were compared according to age and gender using one-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and Kruskal Wallis tests. Confidence level was obtained at P < 0.05.

Results:

Out of the 370 CBCT images assessed, only 100 images fulfilled the inclusion criteria; 50 males and 50 females. No substantial variance in IC shapes was found in both the sagittal and coronal perspectives with reference to age and gender. Likewise, there was no statistical variation in IC dimensions with reference to age. On the other hand, there was a statistical difference in IC length when correlated with gender as the male subjects had longer IC as compared to females (P < 0.01).

Conclusion:

There is no association between IC morphology, age and gender. However, substantial variation in IC length was observed between genders.

Published: November 2021

Background:

The aim of our study is to evaluate whether the CURB-65 or expanded-CURB-65 score can be used in healthcare-associated pneumonia (HCAP) and subgroups of HCAP patients at the same efficiency. Thirty and 90-day mortality rates of the patients and predictive values of CURB-65 and E-CURB-65 scores were compared.

Patients and Methods:

This is a retrospective study of patients who presented to the Emergency Department between January 2015 and January 2016. All patient charts above 18 years of age were evaluated according to American Thoracic Society and the Infectious Diseases Society of America (ATS/IDSA) pneumonia diagnostic criteria and pneumonia diagnoses were confirmed.

Results:

167 pneumonia patients (27.8%) of all pneumonia cases were grouped as HCAP and 433 (54.4%) were grouped as community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). 43% (n = 72) of HCAP patients were classified as nursing home-associated pneumonia (NHAP) and 57% (n = 95) were classified as HCAP (except NHAP) group. NHAP patients were older than the other groups. HCAP (except NHAP) group had somehow more comorbid diseases when compared with the other groups. However, the NHAP group had more unstable vital signs and confusion rates. Hospital and ICU admissions, 30–90-day mortality rates were all significantly higher in NHAP group E-CURB-65 was found to have better predictive values than CURB-65 for 30-day and 90-day mortalities overall.

Conclusion:

According to our results, commonly used scoring systems, CURB 65 and E-CURB 65, are not suitable for HCAP, NHAP, and HCAP (except NHAP) patients. NHAP patients have significant worse prognosis compared with CAP and HCAP (except NHAP) in terms of admission to intensive care and 30 and 90-day mortality rates.

Authors: Onyemaechi NO , Chigbu CO , Ugwu EO , Omoke NI , Lasebikan OA , Ozumba BC
Published: November 2021

Background:

Pregnancy usually triggers a wide range of changes that result in a variety of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). The scope and burden of these disorders in Nigeria are not known.

Aim:

The study aimed to determine the prevalence and risk factors of pregnancy-related MSDs in Enugu.

Patients and Methods:

A cross-sectional study of pregnant women attending antenatal clinics at three tertiary hospitals in Enugu, Nigeria, was done using an observer-administered questionnaire. Data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 22.

Results:

A total of 317 participants were studied. A majority of the participants (93.1%) had one or more MSDs. Low back pain (LBP) and muscle cramps were the two most common pregnancy-related MSDs with prevalence rates of 56.8 and 54.8%, respectively. Increasing gestational age (P = 0.001), previous pregnancies (P = 0.027), and occupation (P = 0.018) were associated with increased risk of MSDs. A majority of the MSDs were of mild and moderate severity and 10.4% of the participants had significant impairment of their daily activities.

Conclusion:

MSDs are common in pregnancy with LBP and muscle cramps as the most prevalent conditions. Increasing gestational age, multigravidity, and occupation increased the risk of MSDs among our cohorts. Preventive and therapeutic measures should be instituted when necessary to ensure optimal maternal health during pregnancy.
Child deaths due to firearm-related İnjuries in Adana, Turkey
Authors: Kaya K , Akgündüz E , Erdem Z , Hilal A
Published: November 2021

Background:

Death by firearm is unacceptable for children who need to be under the protection of the state and the family, wherever and however. Firearm-related fatality is common among all ages. One of the causes of this high rate is likely the easy access to firearms.

Aim:

This study aims to discuss the characteristics of deaths attributable to childhood firearm injuries in Adana, Turkey and to compare them with similar studies.

Patients and Methods:

In this study, the records of 448 (1.97%) cases under 18 years of age who died due to firearm-related injuries among a total of 22,668 cases whose autopsies were performed by the Morgue Department, Council of Forensic Medicine Adana Group Administration between January 1, 2004 and December 12, 2017 were retrospectively evaluated.

Results:

Age ranged from 45 days to 18 years; 285 cases were male and 163 cases were female, and male/female ratio was 1.7. The majority of cases were between 13 and 18 years of age (n: 340, 76.0%). According to the manner of death, the leading cause was homicide (n: 212, 47.4%) and the most frequently used type of firearm were shotguns (n: 226). Single firearm wound was present in 82.8% of the cases. The location of entrance wounds revealed that 185 wounds were located in the head-neck. Although homicide was the leading manner of death among the overall cases, it was determined that suicide was the leading cause among the 13-18 age group (n: 149). Firearm-related injuries and deaths in children should bring child neglect to the agenda.

Conclusion:

Presence of firearms at home and easy access are the causes of increased firearm injuries and death in children. Easily accessible weapons in homes are often involved in suicides and homicides, as well as accidents, which are more common in young children and adolescents. We believe that the use of firearms outside of the security forces should be prohibited and that strict laws should be enforced on the handling and use of firearms.

Published: November 2021

Background:

Sexuality is an important component of marriage. Individuals with visual disability tend to experience more sexual problems, which could deteriorate their marriage relationships and cause difficulties in establishing and maintaining sexual relationships.

Aims:

This study aims to evaluate marital adjustment and sexual functions in individuals with visual disability.

Subjects and Methods:

The sample of this descriptive study consisted of 95 individuals with visual disability who were members of a relevant private association in Turkey and met the inclusion criteria. The sample size was calculated using the sample with a known population approach. Data were collected using the Sociodemographic Form, the Marital Adjustment Scale (MAS), and the Golombok–Rust Inventory of Sexual Satisfaction (GRISS). The data were analyzed using the Mann–Whitney U test, Kruskal–Wallis test, Dunn's test, and the Spearman's Rho Correlation Analysis.

Results:

The mean scores for the MAS and the GRISS were 48.0 (23–60) and 51.5 (17–72), respectively. There was a statistically significant difference between the mean scores of individuals with visual disability and their spouses in the MAS by their age (P < 0.05). The subscales of the GRISS (except for frequency and communication) indicated that men with visual disability had problems regarding impotence, premature ejaculation, sensuality, avoidance, and satisfaction subscales. There was a statistically significant and negative relationship between the marital adjustment total scores of the males with visual disability and their scores in the avoidance, satisfaction, frequency, and communication subscales (P < 0.05; P < 0.01).

Conclusion:

The participants were found to have good marital adjustment. However, males with visual disability had a low level of sexual problems.

Authors: Eninanç İ , Yeler D Yalçın , Çınar Z
Published: November 2021

Background:

This prospective study was designed to evaluate the effects of bruxism on mandibular cortical bone using radiomorphometric indices on digital panoramic radiographs.

Materials and Methods:

The mandibular cortical index (MCI), mental index (MI), and panoramic mandibular index (PMI) were measured on digital panoramic radiographs and evaluated for 128 bruxers (66 female, 60 male) and 128 control subjects. The data were analyzed statistically using intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC), Kappa statistics, Chi-square test, Kolmogorov–Smirnov test, independent t-test, and Pearson's correlation analysis.

Results:

There was no difference between the groups in terms of MCI type (P > 0.05). While mean MI values were significantly higher in bruxers than the control group (P = 0.007), the difference between groups in mean PMI values was nonsignificant (P > 0.05). In both groups, the C1 type was more prevalent in females than in males (P = 0.001). Females showed significantly lower mean MI values than males in both groups (P ≤ 0.040). However, the difference between genders in mean PMI values was not significant (P > 0.05).

Conclusions:

MI measurements may be useful when radiomorphometric indices are to be used for the diagnosis or follow-up of bruxism in the mandible. Among radiomorphometric indices, MI and MCI values are affected by gender differences.

Authors: Skibenko E.I. , Ozerov A.N. , Yuferov V.B.
Published: November 2021

Operational analysis and the obtained results are presented for nanosecond pulsed current/voltage generators involving use of plasma switches, shortly PCS-PCI. The electrical conduction in the plasma-filled discharge gap was determined by calculations versus the plasma electron temperature, the concentration of multicharged ions and their ionization state number. Some factors affecting the conduction value of the PCS-PCI discharge gap have been established, such as the cross-section for electron scattering by the intrinsic atomic field and the electron-neutral collisions, which lead to early reduction in the PCS-PCI discharge-gap conduction before the onset of the current cut off phase.
HELICONS IN PLASMA SOLID-STATE WAVEGUIDE OF CYLINDRICAL CONFIGURATION
Authors: Averkov Yu.O. , Prokopenko Yu.V. , Yakovenko V.M.
Published: November 2021

The theory of electromagnetic eigenwaves of a cylindrical plasma waveguide located in a constant longitudinal magnetic field has been created. A dispersion equation has been obtained under condition when the ratio of the collision frequency of the majority charge carriers to their cyclotron frequency is substantially less than one. It is shown there are bulk-surface helicons in a plasma waveguide. In the absence of charge-carrier collisions, their propagation is accompanied by a surface current directed parallel to the longitudinal axis of symmetry of the cylinder. Collisions of charged particles destroy the surface current and lead to the formation of additional H-type hybrid waves, the field localizations of which are concentrated near the side surface of the waveguide. The nonreciprocity effect of the eigenwaves, differing in the direction of propagation along the azimuthal coordinate, as well as when the direction of the external magnetic field is changed, has been discovered.

Published: November 2021

An analytical model of the interaction of macroparticle (MP) with vacuum arc plasma in plasma immersion ion implantation (PIII) is presented. The proposed model is based on combination of the theory of charge dynamics of MP and sheath model for PIII. In the framework of this model, the MP charge dynamics during voltage pulse as well
as during interval between pulses is investigated. It is obtained that MP charge and MP behavior depend on pulsed bias parameters such as pulse duration, duty cycle and bias amplitude. It is shown that pulsed substrate biasing is effective method to control of the MPs in plasma processing.

Published: November 2021

In experiments, the characteristics of a non-self-sustained arc discharge in pure vapors of monocrystalline zirconium were investigated. The minimum ignition power of the discharge in zirconium vapor was determined for experimental conditions. Also the main characteristics of the generated plasma streams were measured. The growth rates of zirconium films have been determined for various modes of the discharge operation. It is proved that the plasma stream generated by the arc discharge in zirconium vapor has a compensated volume charge and can be used to created metal films and coatings on the substrates of different materials. The coefficients of plasma streams ionization are determined and the possibility of their controlled change is shown. This capability can be used for the targeted control of the properties of the films and coatings.

Published: November 2021

This study aims to analyze whether stepchildren can inherit from their parents' marriage, as well as examine the legal consequences for stepchildren who get inheritance from their parents' marriage. The research method used is empirical juridical which is an approach model in the form of an action to see a legal reality in society which is chosen as the type of research the author uses. Factually, the implementation of positive legal provisions in legal events is also studied in this empirical legal research which aims to ensure the suitability of the results of its application with the provisions of the Act. Research result shows that stepchildren are basically children born to husband or wife from previous marriages who are legally related to a new legal marriage by their father or mother, where the husband's or wife's congenital child is a stepchild in the family or a new marriage by the father or her mother. Status as a stepchild does not eliminate the inheritance rights of a stepchild as a biological child from his biological father or mother who brings a stepchild into a new marriage, and the position of a stepchild in inheritance rights is also recognized by Islamic inheritance law as Hijab Nuqshan (Barrier which results in reduced inheritance rights). heir share). That stepchildren in Islamic inheritance law are not directly classified as heirs because there is no reason to inherit (asbabul miirats). But by using other alternatives in Islamic inheritance law, stepchildren will not lose their right to get protection from their parents, as inborn children of their biological father and mother. Where in Islamic inheritance law, stepchildren can get inheritance from the marriage of their new biological father or mother (his new family) by means of Qiyas and Wasiat obligatory by 1/3.

The present study, explore the factors associated with anaemia among antenatal mothers at selected hospitals ,
Ernakulam was undertaken during 2020 in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the Ph. D under Himalayan
university. Objective: to explore the factors associated with anemia among antenatal mothers and associate the
explorative factors with demographic variables. Design: non experimental descriptive research design .Setting:
medical Centre. Sample: 64 antenatal mothers with anemia. Sampling technique: Probability cluster sample.
Conceptual Frame Work: Pender’s health promotion model (1996). Outcome Measures: Explorative factors of
anemia among antenatal mothers. Results: 80 percentages of antenatal mothers belong to medical Centre were
having anemia. 48(75 percent) of antenatal mothers were having mild anemia and 16(25 percent) were having
moderate anemia. Most of the antenatal mothers with anemia were having poor obstetrical factors related to
anemia. Majority of the antenatal mothers were having poor nutrition. Most of the antenatal mothers were not
practicing good hygiene and cooking practice. Finding of the study revealed that antenatal mothers have average
knowledge related to anemia. There is an association between knowledge with the monthly income of the family,
number of children and parity, obstetrical factors with age and monthly income of family, illness factors with age,
education, monthly income of family, number of children, parity and food habits, nutritional factors with education
and number of children. Conclusion: The result of the study support that there is a positive association between
explorative factors of anemia with demographic characteristics. It says the need of mass health teaching to
antenatal mothers regarding iron deficiency anemia. Health education was given to antenatal mothers regarding
anemia using flash cards.

The article considers the possibility of expanding the range of fermented milk products enriched with natural sources of biologically active substances, which is an urgent task today, as it corresponds to the concept of state policy of the Russian Federation in the field of healthy nutrition. As a solution to this problem, it has proposed to enrich the curd mass as part of the daily diet. Promising plant raw materials of the Far Eastern region, such as Ahnfeltia tobuchinensis, a representative of the genus of red algae growing in the Far Eastern Seas, are used as functional and enriching ingredients; Dahurian larch wood extract – arabinogalactan (Lavitol-arabinogalactan) and peppermint (Méntha piperíta). Grounded ahnfeltia was used in the size of not more than 0,5 mm. On the basis of the analysis of the composition and properties of the applied non-traditional additives, the possibility of enrichment of curd products with dietary fiber and organic iodine from plant components has been substantiated. Optimal ratios of enriching prescription components to the weight of cottage cheese in a finished product are the following: ahnfeltia powder – 1,5%, arabinogalactan – 2,5%, peppermint – 1%. Also, when determining the optimal dosages of the introduced components, it is proposed to replace the prescription amount of sugar with flower honey, which is a natural sweetener and a powerful antioxidant. Organoleptic and physicochemical parameters of the finished samples have been analyzed. As a result of the research the functional curd product one portion (100 g) of which is capable to satisfy daily physiological need of an organism for iodine for 29,32%, in dietary fibers for 12,38% has been developed.

The research devoted to providing the population with preferential medicines is quite relevant, since it is a priority area in the framework of state social assistance. The state program of preferential drug provision affects the effective economic development of the domestic pharmaceutical market, the successful overcoming of social risks, prevents a decrease in the standard of living of the population, in particular, it assumes a significant reduction in patient costs for high-tech medical care. The priority state tasks of improving the preferential drug supply for certain categories of citizens until 2025 are defined in the Strategy for drug provision of the population of the Russian Federation. The article presents the regulatory framework for the implementation of the Strategy on the example of the Krasnodar Territory. Analysis at the regional level of preferential drug provision has made it possible to identify some modern trends in financing this area. The dynamics of growth in funding for drug provision to the privileged category of citizens from the federal budget has been revealed on the basis of the obtained data. The analysis of the provision of preferential drugs on a regional scale, proposed in the research, also tends to increase, which undoubtedly improves the condition of patients in a number of nosological forms. The results of the research are presented by a detailed analysis of the dynamics of the number of citizens eligible for state social assistance in terms of drug provision. The proportion of citizens using preferential drug provision over the past several years is stable. An analysis of the financing of preferential drug provision for residents of the region has revealed a tendency for the growth of subventions to municipalities for the implementation of powers to provide the necessary drugs, respectively, the average amount of funds for drug provision of one resident of the region, who has a corresponding benefit, has increased. Moreover, the analysis has revealed an increase in financing of the privileged category of citizens from the regional budget. As a result of the research, a downward trend in preferential drug provision for citizens from other regions has been revealed, which is due to the limited attendance of the region due to the coronavirus infection. The analysis of the provision of drugs to the population by «high-cost nosologies» indicates an increase in the cost of financing them. The results of the analysis of the implementation of the Strategy for drug provision in the Krasnodar Territory have made it possible to identify the effectiveness of financial state support for certain categories of the population.

Introduction. Last decade significant progress was made in the development of cancer care algorithms. In this regard, new challenges are constantly being presented to the quality control of medical activities in actual practice. Aims. To summarize the outlines regarding the most relevant criteria for assessing the quality in oncology. Material and methods. The PubMed database (Medline) was used to identify the relevant and reliable sources of literature. The thematic methodology for obtaining information was used. Results. In total, over 80 most significant publications were identified, thoroughly studied and analyzed. International experience indicates the advantages for assessing the quality of cancer care by determining and measuring certain indicators. The model for quality assessment proposed by Donabedian A. (1966) is broadly applied in current medical practice. This model distinguishes the following: 1) structural indicators, 2) process indicators, 3) outcome indicators. Feedback is critically important in the organization of the audit of medical activities. It allows one to adapt the assessment methods by focusing on the tasks immediately during the control process. Because of cancer heterogeneity, there are apart requirements for developing quality indicators for each specific type of cancer because of cancer heterogeneity. Conclusions. Monitoring of medical activities is a crucial pillar for a robust healthcare system. The introduction of essential, practical and specialized audit techniques helps to improve the quality and safety of medical technologies used in cancer care. There is an increasing need to develop optimal indicators and standard operating procedures for the control of cancer care.
