Authors: Pai Khot Atrey J. , Ankola Anil V. , Naik Veena V. , Sankeshwari Roopali M. , Kumar Ram Surath , Shah Mehul A.
Published: December 2023

Background:

The focus of caries research has switched to early identification and non-invasive treatment of carious lesions.

Aim:

This study aimed to evaluate and compare the remineralising potential of Ocimum (O.) basilicum varnish and fluoride varnish on initial enamel caries.

Method:

The authenticated O. basilicum seeds were procured from a repository, and the extract was prepared using the Soxhlet method, which was vortexed with Indian Pharmaceutical (IP)-graded chemicals to obtain varnish. Extracted premolar tooth samples were divided into three groups of 33 each after demineralisation with a pH of 4.5 for 48 hours at 37°C. Each group was subjected to remineralisation twice daily with respective agents for 4 minutes for 30 consecutive days. Each sample was ground-sectioned through an enamel window. The lesion depth was measured using a light microscope (Leica™ DM2500) and ImageJ software. The data were evaluated using analysis of variance (ANOVA) and post hoc analysis.

Results:

The mean (± SD) pre-treatment lesion depth across the groups ranged from 242.11 ± 26.144 μm to 352.66 ± 34.531 μm. The highest lesion depth recovery rate of 45.938% was recorded for the fluoride varnish group, followed by 36.015% in the O. basilicum varnish group, which was statistically significant by Tukey’s post hoc analysis (p < 0.001). The gingival fibroblast cells were viable by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay.

Conclusion:

The O. basilicum varnish demonstrated a homogenous layer of mineral deposition. However, the remineralising efficacy was slightly lesser than that of the fluoride varnish. Hence, the novel O. basilicum-based remineralisation agent appears to have potential as a non-invasive alternative to topical fluorides in the therapy of early caries lesions.
Is diabetes a real susceptibility for SARS-CoV-2 oral manifestation?
Authors: Smitha T. , Thomas Anela
Published: December 2023

Background:

Furin, a polybasic cleavage enzyme, is increasingly recognized in the pathogenesis of metabolic syndromes like diabetes. Its cleavage action is an essential activation step for the SARS-CoV-2 attachment site at the junction of S1 and S2, the two subunits of the spike. This allows effective cleavage by furin and has a role in determining viral infectivity and host range. The increased expression of the furin enzyme in the saliva is remarkable enough to be noted as a susceptibility factor for diabetic patients.

Aim of the Study:

The present study focuses on the qualitative assessment of the furin enzyme through an immunological ELISA test.

Materials and Methods Used:

The study consisted of three groups, each of whom was a COVID-19 recovered patient (n = 20), a diabetic patient (n = 20), and a healthy patient (n = 20).

Result:

The study assessed significantly increased levels of the furin enzyme generally in diabetic patients and COVID-19 recovered patients as compared to the healthy control group.

Conclusion:

The estimation of furin in saliva still holds the possibility of being a prognostic marker in many COVID-19 infected patients. Further evidence-based studies are required to establish the same.
“Giant cell fibroma of buccal mucosa -an unusual lesion of unusual size”: A case report
Authors: Shetty Nisha , Kudva Adarsh , Carnelio Sunitha , Kudva Ranjini
Published: December 2023

Giant cell fibroma is a benign oral fibrous tumour. The clinical appearance of majority of non-neoplastic fibrous growths is similar, but unique histopathological features of giant cell fibroma aid in its final diagnosis. It usually manifests as an asymptomatic, sessile or pedunculated mass usually less than 1 cm in diameter. In this case report, we highlight a case of giant cell fibroma in a 58-year-old male patient, which had an unusual size with associated pain. Although giant cell fibromas are benign lesions, it is important for dentists to be aware of this lesion based on its frequency of occurrence and need for its accurate diagnosis.

Published: December 2023

Context:

Spindle cell lesions comprise a vast plethora of benign and malignant lesions with similar clinical and radiographic features. Their overlapping histopathologic features ensure a diagnostic dilemma.

Aim:

The current multicentric study aims to delineate fibroblastic and myofibroblastic oral spindle cell lesions based on cytomorphology and comprehensive immunohistochemical analysis.

Settings and Design:

The experimental study was conducted at MS Ramaiah University of Applied Sciences, Bangalore, and All India Institute of Applied Sciences, Delhi.

Methods and Material:

A comprehensive histological scoring criteria and panel of immunohistochemical makers (STAT6, CD31, CD34, S100, SMA, vimentin, pan-CK, HHF-35, Ki67, ALK, desmin, HMB-45, SATB2, ERG, EMA and CD99) were employed concurrently for the first time for fibroblastic and myofibroblastic oral spindle cell lesions. The data obtained was tabulated and studied.

Statistical Analysis Used:

NA. Results: Using cytological scoring criteria and panel of immunohistochemical makers, the cases analysed and characterized were desmoplastic fibroma, fibrosarcoma, leiomyosarcoma, nodular fasciitis, neurofibroma and epithelioid inflammatory myofibroblastic sarcoma (EIMS).

Conclusions:

The diagnostic strategies need to be upgraded for the diagnosis of spindle cell lesions. Emphasis must be placed on cytomorphology, an immunohistochemistry (IHC) panel of markers is imperative for the accurate diagnosis of fibroblastic and myofibroblastic oral spindle cell lesions.
“Is it time for personalised medicine for Ameloblastoma?”: A hypothesis
Authors: Narayan Bhaskar , Kumar Somesh , Kumar Priya , Urs Aadithya B.
Published: December 2023

Ameloblastoma is a benign odontogenic tumor that is locally destructive. The most common treatment option is surgery, which often results in disfigurement of the face. BRAFV600E is the common gene mutation associated with its pathogenesis. Therefore, this paper hypothesizes the use of targeted drug therapy against this mutated gene.

Authors: Sivapathasundharam B , Prabhakar Manoj , Sabarinath B
Published: December 2023

Juvenile Ossifying Fibroma (JOF) is a type of ossifying fibroma which occurs in younger individuals and manifests as trabecular and psammomatoid variants. The nature and behaviour of these variants vary, and they exhibit characteristic histopathological appearance. The solitary presentation of these subtypes is reported in numbers, but co-occurrence of both these entities is very few. Here, we present a case of JOF with the co-occurrence of both trabecular and psammomatoid variants in relation to an incompletely healed extraction socket.

Authors: Jeddy Nadeem , Saravanan R. , Natrajan RajVikram , Sai Lakshmi L. J. , Ashwath V. , Singhal Ishita
Published: December 2023

Background:

Red ginseng is an herb with many medicinal properties and aids as a mouth rinse with fewer side effects than chlorhexidine.

Aim:

The study aimed to compare the efficacy of red ginseng herbal mouth rinses with those of chlorhexidine and saline in oral cancer patients.

Materials and Methods:

The present pilot study was a double-blinded randomized control trial with 45 histopathologically diagnosed oral squamous cell carcinoma patients divided into three groups: two intervention groups (herbal and chlorhexidine mouth rinse) and one control group (saline). Saliva samples for each patient were collected at baseline and after 14 days of using the mouth rinses. A microbiological examination of salivary samples was done by analysing total oral bacterial load along with specific counts for Porphyromonas gingivalis and Fusobacterium nucleatum at baseline and after the usage of mouth rinse.

Statistical Analysis:

The data normality was analysed using the Shapiro–Wilk test, and following the normal distribution of data, parametric tests were employed. Paired t-test and one-way analysis of variance, followed by post hoc Bonferroni test, were used for inter-group and intra-group differences.

Result:

There was a significant mean difference in total colony count, Fusobacterium nucleatum, and Porphyromonas gingivalis with oral hygiene index and gingival index improvement in the red ginseng herbal mouth rinse group when compared to the chlorhexidine and saline groups.

Conclusion:

In this study, red ginseng mouth rinse exhibited an increased antibacterial effect compared to chlorhexidine and saline. Hence, red ginseng mouth rinse can be used in oral cancer patients to maintain oral health, thereby improving the prognosis of these patients.
An explorative study comparing the burden of the caregivers of patients with mood disorders and alcohol dependence syndrome
Authors: Gopalakrishnan Arudra , Vasireddy Niveditha , Sanapala Vidya
Published: December 2023

Background:

Alcohol dependence syndrome (ADS) and mood disorders, such as bipolar disorder and depression, are psychiatric disorders punctuated by many relapses and remissions. Patients suffering from these disorders impose a considerable burden on their caregivers. The burden includes multiple responsibilities such as financial costs and physical care of the patient while compromising on their freedom. Due to their nature of relapses and chronicity, they also harm the caregiver’s mental health. Hence, our attempt to study and compare the caregiver burden imposed by mood disorders and ADS.

Aims and Objectives:

To study the burden between caregivers of patients with mood disorders and ADS and to identify a significant association, if any, between sociodemographic characteristics and caregiver burden.

Methods:

It is a cross-sectional hospital-based study. Sixty patients, along with their primary caregivers attending the psychiatry outpatient department at a teaching hospital, were included in the study. Detailed evaluation was done on patients and caregivers using a semi-structured pro forma. The Burden Assessment Schedule is a standardized tool that was used to assess the caregiver burden. Those with severe burden were then screened for psychiatric disorders using the Mini-International Neuropsychiatric Interview.

Results:

The burden was similar in caregivers of mood disorders and ADS patients. Only 17% of caregivers were found to have a clinically diagnosable psychiatric illness. Marital relation was more affected by alcohol dependence than mood disorder. Furthermore, caregivers of patients with ADS were more likely to develop psychiatric illnesses. A more significant burden was seen with increased duration of illness, though not significantly.

Conclusion:

The mean total burden score being similar in both groups implies that the degree of burden experienced is the same. Most caregivers reported symptoms of anxiety and depression, though not clinically significant.
Are antidepressants effective in treating depersonalization derealization disorder: Inference from a case series
Authors: Halder Arghya , Kundu Partha Sarathi , Ray Sagarika
Published: December 2023

Depersonalization derealization disorder is a clinical entity where the individual experiences a sense of being detached from his or her own body, feelings, sensations or actions, and the surroundings appear to be unreal, as if occurring in a dream. However, reality testing remains intact. Primary depersonalization derealization disorder is rare, while such experiences occur more commonly in association with anxiety disorders, depressive disorders, psychosis and substance use, and also in organic brain disorders like seizure disorder or head trauma. Such disorders lie somewhere in between frank psychosis and neurosis, and there is a lack of consensus regarding treatment protocols. Here we have presented three such cases, who responded partially to antidepressant treatment, with adjuvant behavior therapy in one case. Available literature suggests that antidepressants such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors and cognitive behavior therapy might be effective in treating such disorders. Further research is needed to formulate more effective treatment options for this disorder.

Machine Learning for Science: Mathematics at the Interface of Data-driven and Mechanistic Modelling
Authors: Lawrence Neil , Montgomery Jessica , Schölkopf Bernhard
Published: December 2023

Rapid progress in machine learning is enabling scientific advances across a range of disciplines. However, the utility of machine learning for science remains constrained by its current inability to translate insights from data about the dynamics of a system to new scientific knowledge about why those dynamics emerge, as traditionally represented by physical modelling. Mathematics is the interface that bridges data-driven and physical models of the world and can provide a foundation for delivering such knowledge. This workshop convened researchers working across domains with a shared interest in mathematics, machine learning, and their application in the sciences, to explore how tools of mathematics can help build machine learning tools for scientific discovery.
La provisión de cuidados en Bolivia: desigualdades de género y sobrecarga femenina
Authors: López Eleonora , Magalhães Lina , Araya Isabel , Guizardi Menara
Published: December 2023

El artículo analiza la organización social de los cuidados en Bolivia, indagando sobre su relación con los tiempos de trabajo no-remunerado femenino. A través del análisis de estadísticas oficiales y de una revisión de estado del arte, se ofrece un panorama de las desigualdades de género en la división social de estas labores en ámbitos rurales y urbanos bolivianos. Además, se analizan los marcos jurídicos y las políticas de protección social vigentes actualmente en el país. Nuestros hallazgos demuestran que, en las últimas dos décadas, avances normativos en Bolivia fomentaron la comprensión del cuidado como un derecho social, cuya responsabilidad debiera involucrar de forma equitativa a hombres y mujeres de la familia, a la sociedad, al mercado y al Estado. Pese a ello, las mujeres bolivianas siguen asumiendo los costes del cuidado y experimentando altos niveles de sobrecarga y precarización laboral.
Industrialización, banderas rojas e ikurriñas: Orígenes del deporte obrero vasco (1931-1936)
Authors: Ibarrondo-Merino Iker
Published: December 2023

Los new sports emergerían en el territorio vasco al son de la industrialización, convirtiéndose en un espectáculo de masas del que las tendencias políticas del momento no quisieron quedar al margen. El contexto democratizador (1931- 1936, proclamación de la II república española), que permitió una mayor permeabilidad de las interpretaciones del deporte desde postulados socialistas y comunistas, posibilitó un contexto idóneo en el que el movimiento del deporte obrero vasco, que describiría una personalidad propia, germinaría. Nacido en 1935, con la creación  de  la  Federación  Cultural Deportiva Obrera de Euzkadi (FCDOE), uno de sus hitos fue la preparación de una selección vasca para las Olimpiadas Populares de Barcelona en 1936. Su estructuración ha podido ser puesta en valor gracias al trabajo en torno a diversas fuentes de archivo, fuentes orales y hemerográficas, las cuales se han visto limitadas por el contexto bélico acaecido en la etapa de estudio dada, donde la quema de documentación fue un hecho constatado.
Pedogenic effect and the impact of erosion factors on topsoil magnetic susceptibility enhancement
Authors: Bouhsane Naima , Bouhlassa Saidati
Published: December 2023

The main aims of this study were to i) investigate the impact of erosion factors including land use, slope position, and lithology on magnetic susceptibility (MS) of soil, and ii) detecting the pedogenic effect on MS enhancement using simple methods, including median absolute deviation (MAD), topsoil-subsoil difference methods, MS magnitude and Dearing’s model. Soil cores were sampled along five slope positions in two transects selected in forested and cultivated lands in a watershed located in north of Morocco. The results showed higher values of MS in the upperslopes in forested land due to soil stability, and lower ones in middleslopes and lowerslopes due to soil erosion. However, MS is higher in cultivated land in middleslopes due to soil deposition and it is lower in the upperslopes due to erosion. The results confirmed the pedogenic effect on MS. This is confirmed by i) enhanced Forster factor and low values of magnetic susceptibility background, ii) dominance of ultrafine super-paramagnetic/stable single-domain ferrimagnetic grains in almost all studied soils, and iii) absence of anomaly in MAD data set and pertinence of the results of MAD and topsoil-subsoil difference methods.
Granice poznania a kształt bytu na podstawie myśli Karla Jaspersa

Published: December 2023

The Limits of Cognition and the Shape of Being Based on the Thought of Karl Jaspers

The article points out the elements of Karl Jaspers’ epistemological conception that cross out the possibility of a comprehensive account of being. The key issue here is the limits of cognition, which take the form of object cognition. The theme of limits points to the inadequacies of human thinking in the context of quantifiable and absolutist representations of reality. The impossibility of adequately grasping the totality of reality will be illustrated here by means of the criticism Jaspers levelled at absolutising metaphysics. In connection with the description of the structure of cognition proposed by Jaspers, the article points out the conceptual proximity of the issue of worldview and metaphysics in the light of the thought of the cited author.
Oomycete pathogens, red algal defense mechanisms and control measures
Authors: Wen Xianying , Zuccarello Giuseppe C. , Klochkova Tatyana A. , Kim Gwang Hoon
Published: December 2023

Oomycete pathogens are one of the most serious threats to the rapidly growing global algae aquaculture industry but research into how they spread and how algae respond to infection is unresolved, let alone a proper classification of the pathogens. Even the taxonomy of the genera Pythium and Olpidiopsis, which contain the most economically damaging pathogens in red algal aquaculture, and are among the best studied, needs urgent clarification, as existing morphological classifications and molecular evidence are often inconsistent. Recent studies have reported a number of genes involved in defense responses against oomycete pathogens in red algae, including pattern-triggered immunity and effectortriggered immunity. Accumulating evidence also suggests that calcium-mediated reactive oxygen species signaling plays an important role in the response of red algae to oomycete pathogens. Current management strategies to control oomycete pathogens in aquaculture are based on the high resistance of red algae to abiotic stress, these have environmental consequences and are not fully effective. Here, we compile a revised list of oomycete pathogens known to infect marine red algae and outline the current taxonomic situation. We also review recent research on the molecular and cellular responses of red algae to oomycete infection that has only recently begun, and outline the methods currently used to control disease in the field.

Published: December 2023

Progression to metastases remains the overriding cause of cancer-associated mortality. Metastatic cancer is not amenable to surgery and its treatment is further complicated by the development of therapy resistance often observed at advanced cancer stages. Early detection of metastases is therefore critical but has been limited by the lack of probes that can effectively localize them. Similar challenges persist with therapeutics specifically targeting metastasized cancer cells. Thus, agents that specifically target disseminating tumor cells at an early stage could produce new theranostic applications and be transformative for the survival of patients with advanced cancers. Recent studies have described new approaches for early detection and targeted eradication of metastatic cancer. Here we summarize the results from preclinical validation of the experimental probes reported to date.
DWELLING IN SHELTER HOMES: PERSONALITY DISPOSITIONS, COPING MECHANISMS, AND DEPRESSION
Authors: Humayun Aiza , Asad Khan Masha
Published: December 2023

Residing in shelter homes has become a safety option for runaway women. The primary objective was to understand the females’ personality dispositions, coping mechanisms, and depression. A purposive sample of 90 female residents of shelter homes from 5 different cities, namely Lahore, Sheikhupura, Nankana Sahib, Rawalpindi, and Faisalabad, was recruited. The females aged between 17 to 80 years, with an average age 28.23. A correlation survey method was used with Urdu-translated versions of assessment measures. Spearman’s correlation and Multiple Linear Regression were used for data analysis. Findings showed that women experiencing low self-esteem reported high depression. Most depressed females were less likely to use a problem-focused coping mechanism. Even though almost all the male perpetrators were educated and employed, it did not reduce the incidence of abuse inflicted on the females. Results can be used to assess the mental well-being of these females and improve their living conditions.

Apostolado do ouvido
Authors: De Almeida Castro Leonardo
Published: December 2023

O Papa Francisco na Mensagem para o LVI Dia Mundial das Comunicações Sociais, celebrado em 2022, afirmou que é necessário na Igreja um apostolado do ouvido. Diante desta afirmação, o artigo se propõe a aprofundar do ponto de vista bíblico e teológico o ato da escuta desde o coração. Parte-se de uma reflexão a partir da ética do cuidado e busca-se aprofundar a questão da escuta tendo por base a parábola do semeador e sua explicação no Evangelho de Lucas. Em uma perspectiva humana e psicológica se busca analisar como se deve estabelecer uma relação de ajuda tendo por base o pensamento de Carl Rogers. Posteriormente, se propõe a direção espiritual e a Pastoral da Escuta como possíveis meios pelos quais é possível estabelecer uma relação de ajuda, escutar desde o coração e como comunidade eclesial dar uma resposta aos atuais desafios da evangelização e ao pedido do Papa para que na Igreja se dê um verdadeiro apostolado do ouvido.
A autoridade cristã como plenitude da Exousia
Authors: Alves de Souza Yure
Published: December 2023

Este artigo explora o conceito de autoridade segundo o vocábulo grego Exousia, geralmente entendido como o poder exercido por uma pessoa ou grupo sobre outro ser humano, ou grupo. Inicialmente associada a uma liberdade afirmada por outrem, autoconcedida, ou a uma condição natural, pelos pensadores clássicos, a autoridade sempre esteve vinculada a questões de relacionamentos políticos ou familiares. A literatura rabínica apresenta o termo reshut como tradução importante da autoridade observada na cultura judaica e naquilo que os autores empregaram na Sagrada Escritura. Neste artigo, estuda-se principalmente a compreensão de autoridade segundo a doutrina cristã, gerada em meio às estruturas do judaísmo. Nos textos sagrados do Antigo e Novo Testamento, revela-se a expressão e fonte divina da autoridade, de modo menos abrangente e expansivo, através do mesmo termo Exousia. Consequentemente, a Exousia alcança seu pleno e perfeito sentido em Jesus Cristo, que ainda a manifestou e concedeu aos Apóstolos para ensinar, curar e libertar em Seu nome.

Uso de mini-implantes na ortodontia: fatores que influenciam sua estabilidade
Authors: Moreira Lais Fernanda , Nogueira Weber Adriano
Published: December 2023

O presente trabalho tem como objetivo avaliar a proporção de sucesso dos mini-implantes ortodônticos em diferentes estudos e identificar quais as variáveis clínicas que influenciam sua estabilidade por meio de uma revisão de literatura. A estabilidade de um mini-implante é subdividida em primária (decorrente do contato direto entre o mini-implante e o osso) e secundária (que ocorre após a cicatrização). Atualmente existem dois tipos de mini- implantes: os autorosqueantes e os autoperfurantes. As perdas de mini-implantes ocorrem devido a fatores físicos e mecânicos, que são decorrentes da escolha inadequada do local de inserção. O sucesso dos mini-implantes é baseado em fatores como deflexão do processo alveolar da maxila e mandíbula; proximidade com o ligamento periodontal e movimento dentário intra-alveolar; densidade óssea menor, pouca espessura e menor volume ósseo alveolar; espessura menor da cortical óssea alveolar; pressão excessiva; fragilidade anatômica mandibular e maxilar; espessura maior do tecido gengival.
CIC. ATT. 6.1.15 VE CILICIA’DA YABANCI YARGIÇLAR (PEREGRINI IUDICES) SORUNU ÜZERİNE KISA BİR DEĞERLENDİRME
Authors: UZUNOĞLU Hüseyin
Published: December 2023

Bu makalede Cicero’nun dostu Atticus’a yazdığı bir mektubunda geçen peregrini iudices ifadesinin ne anlama geldiği tartışılmaktadır. Cicero söz konusu pasajında Yunanlıların peregrini iudices’e sahip oldukları için duydukları mutluluğun altını çizmektedir. Hellenistik Dönem Yunan kentlerinde son derece yaygın bir uygulama olan yabancı yargıç heyeti çağırma geleneğinin Roma İmparatorluk Dönemi içlerine kadar devam ettiği bilindiği için bu ifadeye yapılan ilk yorum peregrini iudices’in bu yabancı yargıç grubu olduğu ve Cicero’nun Cilicia valiliği öncesinde bir süreliğine artık var olmayan bu geleneğin yeniden başlatıldığı olmuştur. Bu yapılan öneriye karşıt bir başka görüşe göre ise peregrini iudices kentlerdeki yabancı vatandaşlar arasındaki davalara bakan yargıçlar olup sorumluluk alanı açısından bir nevi Roma’daki praetor urbanus’a benzemektedir. Makalede tüm bu yorumlar yeniden gözden geçirilerek bu kişilerin yabancı yargıç olması gerektiğine dair yapılan ilk öneriye bağlı kalınması gerektiği vurgulanmaktadır.

Background: Many individuals in need of acute health services visit the emergency department (ED) as their initial point of contact. Patient satisfaction with emergency healthcare services was assessed in this pioneering study, which utilized the Arabic version of the Echelle de Qualité des Soins en Hospitalisation (EQS-H) and surveyed patients from various regions of Saudi Arabia. Methodology: The subjects of this cross-sectional survey were 2,997 patients who were admitted to the emergency departments of hospitals located in various regions of Saudi Arabia. Utilizing the EQS-H, a self-reported questionnaire validated to measure patient satisfaction with ED healthcare services, the research was conducted. We utilized an Arabic version of the questionnaire for this research. The statistical analyses were conducted utilizing version 3.6.3 of R. Results: In total, 2,997 patients participated in the study; 36.7% were male and 63.3% were female. In relation to geographical location, the proportion of participants hailing from the central region in the sample was 31.7% (or one-third), while the eastern, western, and southern regions each contributed 24.1% (16.9%), 14.6%, and 14.6%, respectively. The results of the statistical analysis indicated that the central region exhibited a substantially higher average percentage score for information clarity in comparison to the other regions, while the eastern region displayed the lowest score. A shorter length of stay (LOS) in the emergency department (ED), male gender (B = -1.63 and P < 0.05), Saudi nationality (B = -3.81 and P < 0.05), a worse perceived health state (B = -2.19 and P < 0.001), and lower scores on the life satisfaction scale were all significantly correlated with decreased levels of satisfaction with ED services. The most robust indicator of contentment is perceived progress.

El objetivo del tratamiento intensificado de la diabetes es conseguir y mantener un adecuado control metabólico sin incrementar el riesgo de hipoglucemias para evitar o demorar la aparición de las complicaciones crónicas. Mediante la insulinoterapia se pretende imitar, con la mayor precisión posible, la secreción normal de esta hormona, contando con dos estrategias cuya factibilidad ha sido largamente ensayada: el tratamiento basalbolo con dosis múltiples de insulina (MDI) y la infusión continua de insulina subcutánea (ICIS) mediante el uso de microinfusores1. Con este último método los niveles de insulina obtenidos se aproximarían más al perfil fisiológico2.

Objective: The aim of this study is to measure the knowledge level of materials and equipment for endodontics and pedodontics, as well as sterilization and disinfection procedures, of dental assistants in dental institutions and intern oral and dental health technician students studying at college. Methods: Four hundred ninety-eight people, including dental assistants working in public, private and university institutions, between the ages of 18-65, and students of the Oral and Dental Health Technician School of Universities, participated in the study. A questionnaire was applied to the participants. With the help of the survey consisting of different questions, the participants' knowledge levels about pedodontic and endodontic materials and sterilization procedures were measured. Results: The knowledge level of dental assistants about dental materials was found to be low in 5.2% of the participants, medium in 32.5% of the participants, and high in 62.3% of the participants. There isn’t any significant difference between the assistants' knowledge level and their gender (p=0.23), age group (p=0.09), educational status (p=0.41), professional experience (p=0.51), certification (p=0.39), and the institution that they work for (p=0.24). Conclusion: It was found that dental assistants have a lack of knowledge in this subject. It is thought that planning and perform regular training education programmes in terms of both acquiring new information and repeating existing information can be effective for eliminating the deficiencies of dental assistants.

Osteoartrit özellikle ileri yaş ve artan obezite sonucu popülasyonda yaygınlığı artan romatizmal bir hastalıktır. “Osteoarthritis Research Society International” (OARSI); osteoartriti, hareketli eklemleri etkileyen, travmaların gelişimini hızlandırdığı doğal immunitenin proinflamatuar süreçlerini içeren uygun olmayan onarım cevabı sonucu oluşan hücre stresi ve hücre dışı matriks dejenerasyonu olarak tanımlamıştır. Osteoartrit (OA) eklem kıkırdağında bozulma, kemiklerde düzensiz büyüme, sinovyal çoğalma ve dejenerasyonla ilerler. Bireyde şiddetli ağrı ve hareket kısıtlılığına yol açan osteoartrit sıklıkla dizler, kalça, omurga ve ellerde distal interfalengial, proksimal interfalengial eklemler, birinci karpometakarpal eklemlerde görülür. İleri yaşla birlikte OA insidansı giderek artar. Dünya genelinde 60 yaş üzeri erkeklerin %9,6’sı kadınların ise %18’inde semptomatik OA görülmektedir. Tanı klinik ve radyolojik bulgular ile konulmaktadır. OA tedavi seçenekleri farmakolojik, non-farmakolojik, intraartiküler ve cerrrahi tedavileri içerir. Günümüzdeki tedaviler ile amaç, hastanın ağrısını ve sabah tutukluğunu azaltmak, eklem hareket açıklığı ve kas gücünü korumak ya da yeniden kazandırmak, günlük yaşam aktivitelerindeki bağımlılığı azaltmaktır. Tedavi fizik tedavi modalitelerini, ortezleri, farmakolojik tedavileri ve cerrahi girişimleri kapsar. Semptomatik ve oral farmakolojik tedavilere cevap alınamayan hastalarda intraartiküler enjeksiyonlardan faydalanılmaktadır. Bu derleme çalışmasında gün geçtikçe kullanımı artan kortikosteroid, hyalüronik asit, kolajen, PRP, proloterapi, kök hücre yöntemleri ve bu yöntemlerin OA’lı hastalar üzerindeki etkilerinin incelenmesi amaçlanmaktadır.

Bu araştırmada bir proje kapsamında robotik kodlama eğitimi alan öğretmen adaylarının girişimcilik özelliklerinin incelenmesi ve araştırma çıktıları doğrultusunda iyileştirme önerilerinin geliştirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bu genel amaç doğrultusunda çalışma açıklayıcı durum analizi modeli kullanılarak gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırmada katılımcı seçimi sürecinde, temel bilgisayar yeteneklerine ve robotik kodlama konusundaki ilgiye sahip bireylerin tercih edilmesi hedeflenmiş, bu sayede kodlama eğitiminin teknolojik ve problem çözme unsurlarını yansıtılabilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bu doğrultuda araştırma fen bilgisi, matematik ve bilgisayar öğretim teknolojileri eğitimi bölümlerinden üçüncü sınıfta okumakta olan 30 öğretmen adayının katılımıyla yürütülmüştür. Araştırmada veri toplama aracı olarak Deveci (2017) tarafından geliştirilen” Girişimci Özellik Öz Değerlendirme Formu” kullanılmıştır. Araştırmadan elde edilen içerik analizine tabi tutulmuştur. Araştırma sonucunda öğretmen adayları girişimci birey olma özellikleri açısından güçlü yönlerinin sırasıyla kendine güven, sorumluluk alma, bağımsız hareket, yenilikçilik ve çağdaşlık olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Öte yandan öğretmen adayları girişimcilik özelliklerinden sırasıyla risk alma, yaratıcılık, karar verme, fırsatları görme ve toleranslı olma özellikleri bakımından zayıf oldukları saptanmıştır. Gelecekteki araştırmaların, bu yetenek ve özelliklerin nasıl daha etkin bir şekilde ölçülebileceği ve geliştirilebileceği üzerine odaklanması önerilmektedir.
