Authors: Ibrahim  , Bhardwaj Nandini , Puri Abhiney , Wadhwan Vijay , Nangia Rajat , Jahan Ishrat
Published: September 2024

Introduction:

There is a progressive increase in the patients of dental caries and periodontitis in the recent years. The main emphasis is laid on avoiding the accumulation and inducing the elimination/suppression of caries-causing microbes in the oral cavity. A variety of antimicrobial agents are incorporated into oral hygiene products but these products come up with their own disadvantages. Natural products prove to be biocompatible with medicinal properties.

Aims and Objectives:

The objective of the study is to access the antimicrobial activities of Juglans regia bark against dental caries and plaque. Also, antibacterial activity of Juglans bark is compared with oral rinses and systemic antibiotics.

Material and Methods:

The study sample consisted of 50 subjects and was divided into two groups. Group 1 consisted of 25 samples without caries and Group 2 also included 25 samples with caries. Both samples were in the age group 18–22 years. Plant samples of Juglans regia bark from Kashmir and Himachal were collected. Extracts containing both varieties were prepared and antibacterial activities of both groups were determined. Comparison of Juglans regia bark with antibiotics and mouthwashes was also done.

Results and Conclusion:

J. regia bark of both the varieties showed zone of inhibitions. Ethanol variety showed larger zone of inhibition than distilled water variety of both plaque and caries groups. Chlorhexidine showed satisfactory antimicrobial activity while Betadine showed none. Amoxicilline was effective but Metronidazole showed no activity against both groups. Bark of J. regia proved to be very beneficial against both plaque and caries bacteria without any side effects as both mouthwashes and antibiotics are harmful and cannot be used daily.

Published: September 2024

Histoplasma capsulatum is known to cause deep mycotic infections, the primary site being pulmonary, and may disseminate in immunosuppressed patients. Oral presentation is usually a part of disseminated disease however may rarely occur as an isolated event. Extensive literature search has shown that only 17 cases of primary oral histoplasmosis in immunocompetent hosts have been reported from India to date. We hereby report a rare case of primary oral histoplasmosis in a middle-aged, non-diabetic, and HIV-negative patient masquerading as malignancy.

Authors: Markou Angeliki , Masmanidi Christina , Kostakis George , Loumou Panagiota , Panagiotopoulos Antonios , Georgakopoulou Eleni
Published: September 2024

Introduction:

Papillomas are associated with human papillomaviruses (HPV) and are commonly benign. Typically, the clinical presentation establishes the diagnosis, and treatment comprises excision and histological analysis.

Objective:

In light of our series of 39 patients with viral papillomas of the oral mucosa, we would like to express our concerns regarding the treatment of patients diagnosed with HPV 6 and 11-positive oral papillomas.

Materials and Methods:

The research is based on an analysis of 39 patients with oral papillomas who underwent conventional HPV viral testing. The analysis was conducted utilizing the in situ hybridization method. Patients tested positive for HPV subtypes 2, 4, 6, 11, 16, 18, 31, 33, and 51. More than fifty percent of individuals tested positive for HPV 6 and 11.

Conclusion:

HPV subtypes have been identified in lesions with comparable clinical presentation. Many of our patients carry the HPV subtypes 6 and 11, which have been associated to sexual transmission. However, more transmission routes are also possible. The ideal treatment for us would be a referral to a Venereologist for a thorough sexually transmitted illness examination.

Authors: Annegowda Vidya M. , Setlur Krishnanand P. , Isani Inara S. , Prakash Bhanu
Published: September 2024

Context:

The establishment of a correlation between tooth dimensions and body size is crucial within the realm of forensic odontology. While numerous investigations have focused on the association between tooth morphology or width and stature, limited reports exist regarding the correlation between overall body structure or build and odontogenic parameters. This study focuses on finding a correlation between inter-arch dimensions and the body build of an individual.

Aims:

This study aimed to examine the potential correlation between an individual’s somatotype (body build) and the measurements of inter-canine and inter-premolar maxillary arch widths.

Study Settings:

Dayananda Sagar College of Dental Sciences.

Study Design:

A cross-sectional study.

Methods and Material:

The sample size of the study was 153 individuals aged 18–25 years. Impressions for the maxillary arch were taken, study models were made and inter-arch measurements were taken using a digital Vernier calliper. For body build measurements, Heath-Carter somatotype measuring technique was used. The collected data were entered into an Excel sheet, and statistical analysis was done.

Statistical Analysis Used:

Principal component analysis.

Results:

On using principal component analysis, it was seen that there exists no correlation between body build of an individual when compared to inter-canine and inter-premolar distances.

Conclusions:

While no positive correlation has been seen between the odontometric parameters and specific body type, it can be argued that this can be due to the cited limitations of the study. Hence, we conclude with the note that a more detailed study would offer more viable and credible results.
Metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma of the oral cavity - A report of two cases
Authors: Reesha K , Mohamed Shameena Pazhaningal , Varma Sujatha , Nair Resmi G.
Published: September 2024

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common malignancies worldwide that is etiologically linked to a previous hepatitis B infection. We describe two cases of HCC metastasis to the oral cavity in 60- and 67-year-old male patients. The first case was a diffuse, hard swelling in the left body of the mandible. Histopathologic and immunohistochemical analysis was done, and a positive for CK7, CK19, HEPPAR and TTF and a negative for NAPSIN were found to be diagnostic of metastatic HCC. Subsequent examination of the serum alfa- fetoprotein (AFP) level showed a high value of 450 ng/ml, confirmatory of HCC. The second case was a pedunculated, reddish, mobile soft tissue growth on the retromolar region. Its macroscopic and histopathologic features themselves were confirmatory of HCC, and the elicited history was corroborant of metastasis.

Published: September 2024

Introduction:

Tobacco and areca nuts release carcinogens, which cause alterations in saliva. Evaluation of these changes through estimation of salivary flow rate and pH was performed in tobacco and areca nut chewers and apparently healthy subjects.

Material and Methods:

The study group for this comparative study comprised 60 subjects with 20 areca nut chewers (group 1), 20 tobacco chewers (group 2), and 20 non-tobacco and areca nut chewers (group 3) in the ages between 18 and 75 years. After collection of saliva from each subject, the salivary flow rate (SFR) was measured by using graduated tubes, whereas salivary pH was measured using a digital salivary pH meter. Tukey HSD post hoc test was performed for comparison of mean SFR and mean pH between study group subjects. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) test was used to find the mean difference in SFR and pH in duration, intensity, and frequency among various types of areca nut and tobacco users. A ”P” value of less than 0.05 was considered as statistically significant.

Results:

The mean age among groups 1, 2, and 3 was 37.70 ± 10.44, 39.75 ± 10.16, and 37.90 ± 10.52 years, respectively, with a statistically insignificant difference. The mean salivary flow rate (ml/20 min) was maximum in group 3 (13.23), followed by group 2 (11.75) and group 1 (10.48), with the statistically significant difference as P < 0.05. The mean salivary pH was maximum in group 3 (7.07), followed by group 2 (6.86) and group 1 (6.49), with the statistically significant difference as P < 0.05.

Conclusion:

Long-term use of tobacco and areca nuts in a chewable form can significantly reduce the salivary flow rate and salivary pH. Hence, these measurements can be used as chair side, non-invasive measures for assessing pathological changes in oral mucosa linked to vulnerable effects among people addicted to these adverse habits; thereby, early re-organization can prevent mobility and mortality.

Authors: Girigowda Gopalakrishna Kurugunda , Nayak Varadraj Govindaraj , Gowda Lakshmisha Narasimhe , Bhikshavarthimath Suhas Aradhya
Published: September 2024

Background:

Gluteus medius is the steering muscle of the hip joint and is very important for pelvic balance. It is damaged surgically when we do antegrade nailing for an intertrochanteric femur fracture. There is not much study available in literature regarding the status of this muscle in postoperative phase.

Aims:

The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of surgical trauma on gluteus medius muscle using cross-sectional area (CSA) and adipose tissue ratio (ATR) in computed tomography (CT) scan after intramedullary nailing in patients with intertrochanteric fractures comparing with the contralateral normal side and assess the postoperative strength of gluteus medius muscle.

Subjects and Methods:

A total of 31 patients with intertrochanteric fracture femur who were treated by intramedullary nailing underwent CT scan after 3 months of surgery. In CT, CSA and adipose tissue infiltration were measured at different levels. Clinically, muscle strength was assessed with Medical Research Council (MRC) grading and active hip abduction test (AHAT).

Results:

All 31 patients showed decrease in CSA and increase in adipose tissue infiltration in operated side gluteus medius muscle compared to the normal side. However, there was not much difference in MRC grading and AHAT scoring.

Conclusions:

Our imaging findings documented decrease in CSA and increase in ATR in gluteus medius muscle postoperatively. However, compared to other studies, this overall decrease is in small dimensions, possibly due to the small diameter of proximal portion of the nail which is evolved for the Asian population. Clinically, there was not much decrease in the strength of the gluteus medius muscle and it has not caused any functional problems.

Published: September 2024

Background:

Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the common causes of knee disability. Depending on the stages of the disease, various treatment modalities are available. OA, being a degenerative and gradually progressive disease compliance with the treatment, has a major role in the outcome.

Materials and Methods:

The study was carried out at a tertiary care orthopedic center to assess the level of compliance of tablet glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate in patients with early OA of the knee. 100 consecutive patients visiting the outpatient department of orthopedics were included after clinical and radiological confirmation of diagnosis. Patients were given tablet glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate and followed up for 12 weeks. Compliance was assessed by the Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS).

Results:

One hundred patients consisting of 44 males and 56 females were enrolled. The average age of the study population was 51.06 ± 9.44 years. Response recorded by the MMAS showed good compliance in 46%, moderate in 36%, and poor in 18% of cases. A significant positive correlation was found with education, family support, and awareness of the disease, whereas a negative correlation was found with age, functional impairment, comorbidities, and polypharmacy.

Conclusion:

The study confirmed the existence of good compliance to glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate in patients with early OA of the knee. The variation in the reported level of compliance in the study population was due to factors such as literacy level, family status, functional status, associated medical illnesses, daily medicinal load, as well as awareness of the disease. Only a few studies have been conducted in developing countries on medication compliance, factors influencing it, and magnitude of the impact of noncompliance; hence, there is a need for more systematic studies.

Published: September 2024

Objective:

The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between Vitamin D levels, radiographic severity, and functional status in patients with primary knee osteoarthritis (OA).

Materials and Methods:

A cross-sectional study was conducted on 71 patients with primary knee OA. Clinical and radiological evaluations were performed to confirm the diagnosis of knee OA. Vitamin D levels were measured, and radiographic severity was assessed using the Kellgren–Lawrence grading system. Functional status was evaluated using Lequesne’s indices. Statistical analyses were conducted to compare variables between patients with deficient Vitamin D levels (<30 ng/mL) and those with normal levels (≥30 ng/mL).

Results:

The study population had a mean age of 59.39 ± 8.09 years, with a majority of females (80.3%). The mean Vitamin D level was 19.22 ± 6.086 ng/mL, and 91.5% of patients were classified as Vitamin D deficient. Radiographic evaluation revealed joint space narrowing in all patients, with 87.3% having moderate-to-severe narrowing. Osteophytes were observed in 53.5% of patients. While there were no significant differences in demographic and radiographic variables based on Vitamin D levels, a significant association was found between functional grading and normal Vitamin D levels.

Conclusion:

This study highlights a high prevalence of Vitamin D deficiency in patients with knee OA. Although there was no significant association between Vitamin D deficiency and radiographic severity, Vitamin D levels were found to influence the functional status of the knee. Further research with larger sample sizes and longitudinal designs is necessary to establish a comprehensive understanding of the relationship between Vitamin D levels and knee OA severity.

Authors: KALAYCI Ünal
Published: September 2024

Various methods and techniques are used to facilitate teaching Turkish to foreigners. Another method that has recently been implemented in vocabulary teaching is the use of “common words”. Turkey Turkish has a different common history and common words with the Turkish world, Europe, the Arab world and other regions, and even with each country. Common words can be used to prepare course material, or a dictionary consisting only of common words. When a person who is learning Turkish encounters a dictionary consisting of around two thousand common words when they come to the course, they will be motivated and encouraged to learn Turkish. In this study, seventy-five Turkish morphemes belonging to the words in the colloquial language that has passed from Turkey Turkish to Lebanese Arabic, words derived with the +CI construction suffix, food names, signboard names and surnames will be discussed. In the determination of these words, besides the field research, the literature review method was also used. Despite the fact that these morphemes are used in Lebanese Arabic, their origins remain unknown to them. In fact, some words have undergone such changes in sound and form that it is difficult to find their origin without careful examination. For this reason, changes in sound and structure are also included. The determination of morphemes transferred from Turkish to foreign languages will not only contribute to the teaching of Turkish as a foreign language, but will also give an idea about the interaction between Turkey Turkish and Lebanese Arabic. Keywords: Teaching Turkish to foreigners, word education, common words, Turkish elements in Lebanese Arabic.

THE CAUSAL RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN HUMAN DEVELOPMENT INDEX AND INFLATION AND INTEREST RATE: EXAMPLE OF TURKEY
Authors: ŞAHİN Cumhur
Published: September 2024

Development can be expressed as the basic definition of increasing the level of welfare and economic freedom in a country. In economic development, it is also possible to change and renew the economic and socio-cultural structure for a relatively underdeveloped country with the increase in real income per capita.Therefore, since economic development includes economic growth, it emerges as a broader concept. Macroeconomic variables are generally used in revealing the development levels of countries. However, from the point of view that these variables are not adequate to evaluate the real development; the human development index implemented by the United Nations Development Programme since 1990, which includes the human factor, has become a much healthier measure. In this study, the causal relationship between the human development index and the inflation rate and deposit interest rate had been studied in the period of 1990-2021 for Turkey. When the data had been analyzed, it had been concluded that human development index had not been effective enough to be a causation for economic indicators in Turkey. Keywords: Human development index, inflation, interest rate

Developing a Curation-Based Learning Model for Topic-Centered Convergence Liberal Arts Education
Authors: Huh Hye-Yeon , Han Jeong-Gyu
Published: September 2024

This study sought to develop a curation-based learning model and utilize it as a liberal arts pedagogical tool to enhance students' interdisciplinary competencies. As a result, the curation-based learning model was organized into four phases: exploring, elaborating, extending, and encompassing the process, with detailed activities clearly presented for each phase. Expert review and validation were conducted to verify the appropriateness and usefulness of the model, and the final model was developed in a form that can be practically applied in the classroom. When applied to liberal arts education, the model can help students develop a multidisciplinary perspective on a topic, collaboration with other majors, and practical knowledge of the use and value of digital tools. Furthermore, the experience of curating an exhibition, which is unfamiliar to students and perceived to be limited to the realm of the arts, is expected to encourage students to be self-directed in planning, executing, and evaluating their own work, and to develop creative confidence by realizing their ideas and achieving results. Liberal arts education should utilize a variety of subject-centered learning and various teaching and learning methods to help students develop the ability to actively respond to the rapidly changing future society.

Authors: Kara Mehmet , Genç Murat , Çetın Mehmet Çağrı
Published: September 2024

This study aims to develop a valid and reliable measurement tool to determine the level of athlete-athlete identification by determining which features athletes consider when identifying with other athletes they bond with. Within the scope of "qualitative steps", focus group interviews and essay writing; within the scope of "quantitative steps", assumption analyses and validity and reliability analyses were included for the form organized by the Lawshe technique and the test form of the scale. After the expert opinions, the 68-item item pool was reduced to 66 items and applied to 930 active athletes with a 5-point Likert scale (5=Very important, ... 1=Not important at all) with a trial form. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was conducted with the observations obtained, data were collected again with the 4-factor 26-item structure and Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was conducted with 813 observations. After factor naming with rational criteria, Cronbach alpha internal consistency coefficients were calculated as .94 for the sub-dimension of "Athletic Identity" (n=12), .82 for the sub-dimension of "Image and Career Maturity" (n=6), .85 for the sub-dimension of "Social Values" (n=4), .70 for the sub-dimension of "Communication Skills" (n=4) and .90 for the whole scale. The explained variance rate is 56.95%. While the motivation of the study is that the scales in the literature are at the fan-athlete or fan-team level and the determination of athlete-athlete identification is seen as a deficiency, the goal of closing this gap reveals the importance of the study.

Published: September 2024

Background: This study explores the knowledge, perceptions, practices, and teaching of interprofessional collaborative practice by pharmacists currently precepting pharmacy students. Information was sought from pharmacist preceptors for Introductory Pharmacy Practice Experiences and Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experiences.
Methods: Key informant interviews were conducted using a 20-question semi-structured script. The Interprofessional Education Collaborative (IPEC) Core Competencies: 2023 Update was used as a theoretical framework. First and second-level qualitative coding were performed on the key informant interview transcripts.
Results: Pharmacy preceptors indicate a strong understanding and regular participation in collaborative patient care but are less familiar with the definition of IPE, where students interact with learners of different professions. Time and responsibility burdens were additional barriers impacting their ability to provide interprofessional learning experiences, but their job satisfaction, patient outcomes, and work-life balance were improved by these daily working relationships.
Conclusion: Pharmacy preceptors in this study strongly support interprofessional education and practice and believe in its importance for patient outcomes and overall provider satisfaction, although not all seem to be applying these practices to their student experiences. The results of this study indicate a need for additional resources to maximise interprofessional student learning opportunities in experiential education.

Authors: Sivasami K , Thangalakshmi S , Bhoite Atharva , Soni Harsh , Seth Krishna
Published: September 2024

This paper investigates the revolutionary influence of data analysis and artificial intelligence (AI) in the maritime sector, with a focus on cargo handling, ship route planning, and fuel efficiency optimisation. By integrating modern data analytics, cargo operations may be monitored and managed in real-time, which improves safety measures, decreases operational delays, and increases inventory management accuracy. AI-driven algorithms optimise ship route planning by analysing large datasets such as weather patterns and marine traffic, reducing travel time and operational expenses. Furthermore, predictive analytics and machine learning models are used to improve fuel efficiency by optimising engine performance and detecting maintenance issues before they cause costly downtime. This paper conducts a thorough analysis of these technologies' uses, assessing their influence on operational efficiency, cost savings, and environmental sustainability. The paper emphasises the crucial role of data analysis and AI in revolutionising old marine processes, eventually propelling the industry towards a more efficient and ecologically conscious future, through a series of case studies.

Clinical Guideline for Zirconia Dental Implants: A Comprehensive and Critical Review and Update
Authors: Wiedemann Thomas G
Published: September 2024

Zirconia implants have become a very promising alternative to conventional titanium implants for oral rehabilitation with superior biological and esthetical properties. An electronic search through PubMed about zirconia dental implants has been performed in the English language. Zirconium dioxide implants demonstrate excellent biocompatibility, gingival adhesiveness and esthetic benefits. The evidence for one-piece ceramic implants has become strong enough that these implants have a similar range of indications as titanium implants and can be used in the same situations. However, lack of evidence for long-term success of two piece zirconia Implants above 5 years are considered to be a drawback.

Objetivo: Analizar las investigaciones existentes sobre las prácticas de autocuidado, abordando una perspectiva holística que considera las dimensiones física, psicológica, espiritual, emocional, profesional y relacional en distintos grupos poblacionales. Metodología: A través del método PRISMA se llevó a cabo una revisión sistemática de artículos de los últimos 5 años de septiembre a diciembre de 2023, se utilizó una combinación de términos de búsqueda relacionados con cualquiera de los dominios del autocuidado, incluyendo revisiones sistemáticas previas sobre autocuidado encontradas en PubMed, Scopus y Redalyc en español e inglés.  Resultados: Se seleccionaron 14 artículos a través de una búsqueda y discriminación de su contenido de acuerdo con los criterios de inclusión y exclusión, de los cuales el 50% trataba sobre el dominio físico del autocuidado, el 42.8% analizaba los aspectos psicológicos y emocionales, y solo el 7.14% estaban asociados con las dimensiones profesional y relacional. Conclusiones: Los hallazgos de esta revisión sistemática demuestran una concepción multidimensional del autocuidado. Aunque la mayoría de los estudios se enfocan en intervenciones para promover el mantenimiento del estado físico, muchos otros también reconocen las dimensiones mental, social, espiritual, relacional y profesional, lo que refleja una visión holística del autocuidado, no solo para su acepción sino también para las áreas en donde se emplea. Se subraya la importancia de concebir el autocuidado como todas aquellas acciones dirigidas al mantenimiento de la salud, prevención de enfermedades y mejora del estilo de vida, con el objetivo de preservar el bienestar psicosocial.
