Comparative Study of Alveolar Bone Density in Various Segments of the Jaw Using Micro-CT Scanning.
Authors: Rashid Mohammed Enamur
Published: February 2025

Alveolar bone density plays a critical role in the success of dental implants and other prosthetic treatments. Precise evaluation of bone density in various segments of the jaw is essential for planning such procedures. Micro-computed tomography (Micro-CT) offers a highly accurate method to assess bone density, providing detailed insights into structural variations across different regions of the jaw. Materials and Methods: A total of 40 human mandibles and maxillae from cadaveric specimens were analyzed. The study included 20 male and 20 female specimens aged between 35 and 60 years. Using a high-resolution Micro-CT scanner, bone density was measured in three segments of the jaw: anterior, middle, and posterior. The data were assessed using Hounsfield Units (HU), and statistical analysis was performed using ANOVA to identify significant differences between the segments. Results: The mean bone density values (in HU) were as follows: Anterior region: 1300 ± 50 HU, Middle region: 1100 ± 40 HU, Posterior region: 900 ± 30 HU. Significant differences were observed between the anterior and posterior segments (p < 0.001) as well as between the anterior and middle segments (p < 0.05). The anterior segment exhibited the highest bone density, making it the most suitable site for implant placement in terms of primary stability. Conclusion: Micro- CT scanning demonstrated that alveolar bone density varies significantly across different segments of the jaw. The anterior region showed the highest density, suggesting its preference for implant placement.

Analysis of Microleakage in Different Composite Resin Systems
Authors: Abuzenada Basem Mohammed
Published: February 2025

Background Microleakage is a critical factor in the long-term success of dental restorations, particularly in composite resin systems. It can lead to postoperative sensitivity, secondary caries, and eventual failure of the restoration. Different composite resin systems may exhibit varying degrees of microleakage due to differences in their composition, polymerization techniques, and adhesive systems. The purpose of this study is to analyze the microleakage in different composite resin systems. Materials and Methods In this in-vitro study, 60 extracted human molars were prepared with standardized Class V cavities. The teeth were randomly divided into three groups (n=20) based on the composite resin system used: Group A (nanohybrid composite), Group B (microhybrid composite), and Group C (bulk-fill composite). A standardized bonding procedure was followed for all samples. After placement of the restorations, the samples were thermocycled for 500 cycles between 5°C and 55°C. The teeth were then immersed in a 2% methylene blue dye solution for 24 hours to assess microleakage. Following dye penetration, the teeth were sectioned and examined under a stereomicroscope for dye penetration at both the occlusal and gingival margins. Microleakage scores were recorded using a 0-3 scale, with 0 indicating no leakage and 3 indicating maximum leakage. Results The results showed significant differences in microleakage between the composite resin systems. Group A (nanohybrid composite) showed the least microleakage, with an average score of 0.75 ± 0.5, while Group B (microhybrid composite) exhibited moderate microleakage, with an average score of 1.25 ± 0.6. Group C (bulk-fill composite) demonstrated the highest microleakage, with an average score of 2.0 ± 0.8. Statistical analysis using ANOVA revealed a significant difference between the groups (p < 0.05), with Group A performing better in terms of microleakage resistance. Conclusion The study concludes that nanohybrid composite resin exhibits superior performance in preventing microleakage compared to microhybrid and bulk-fill composite systems. This may be attributed to the smaller particle size and better polymerization properties of the nanohybrid composite. Clinicians should consider these differences when selecting materials for restorative procedures to minimize the risk of microleakage and enhance the longevity of restorations.

Published: February 2025

Introduction Neurological harmmay be a basic complication related with surgical expulsion of affected mandibular third molars. Such wounds can happen specifically or in a roundabout way, emphasizing the significance of surveying the peril of post-operative second rate alveolar nerve (IAN) damage. The preoperative arranging included analyzing advanced radiographs utilizing Rood and Shehab classification, comprising different radiographic signs. We utilize Rood and Shehab’s classification on this consider to get to the plausibility of nerve damage. We exhort for more symptomatic degree. Methodology The research employed a retrospective cross-sectional study design. A sum of 1298 participants were included in the study, conducted in the Qassim Province. Inclusion criteria specified patients with impacted mandibular third molars. Data was analyzed using the SPSS program. Results Among the surveyed participants, three prevalent conditions stood out prominently; canal narrowing (946, 73.8%), canal deflection (935, 73.0%), and canal darkening (684, 53.4%). Conversely, lower occurrences were noted for dark and canal apex bifid (15, 1.2%), canal diversion (2, 0.2%), and canal narrowing (56, 4.4%). Interruption of the white streak was observed in approximately one- third of the cases (412, 32.2%). Conclusion The high prevalence of narrowing, deflection, and darkening of the root underscores the clinical significance of these conditions, necessitating careful consideration in diagnostic assessments.

Published: February 2025

Background The management of patients on warfarin therapy during oral surgical procedures, specifically tooth extractions, has been subject to significant clinical debate. The risk of postoperative bleeding must be balanced against the potential for thromboembolic events upon discontinuation of anticoagulation. This study synthesized findings from various research efforts to elucidate the safety and efficacy of continuing warfarin therapy during dental extractions. Methods A comprehensive literature review examined studies that included patients undergoing tooth extractions while on warfarin therapy. Following the PRISMA guidelines, data were extracted on patient outcomes, particularly the incidence and severity of postoperative bleeding and the use and effectiveness of local hemostatic measures. Results The 6 included papers consistently demonstrated that most patients on warfarin therapy experienced minor bleeding complications postextraction, with severe bleeding events being rare. Local hemostatic measures, including mechanical pressure and pharmacological agents, effectively managed to bleed. The studies varied in terms of hemostatic agents used and pain assessment. Still, the overarching inference pointed towards the safety of continuing warfarin therapy during dental extractions with appropriate local hemostasis. Conclusion Continuing warfarin therapy during dental extractions appears safe for patients with an INR (International Normalized Ratio) maintained within therapeutic ranges. The evidence does not support the necessity for preoperative alteration of warfarin therapy, provided that effective local hemostatic measures are in place. Clinical decisions should be individualized based on patient risk assessments for both bleeding and thromboembolism.

COMPARISON OF ACTIVATION AND OPTIMIZER PERFORMANCE IN LSTM MODEL FOR PURE BEEF PRICE PREDICTION
Authors: Aldo Dasril
Published: February 2025

One of the primary factors impacting the economy is the ability to forecast the prices of commodities such as beef. This paper aims to evaluate the effectiveness of various activation functions and optimization strategies when integrated into the LSTM (Long Short-Term Memory) architecture model in predicting the price of lean beef in Aceh. The data sample utilized was obtained from the Indonesian National Food Agency panel, which shows daily prices for beef within the time frame of July 14th, 2022, to July 31st, 2024. As for the conducted research, the process of preparation data preprocessing, partitioning data into training, validation and test sets and the actual execution of the LSTM model which was trained using four different types of activation functions: tanh, ReLU, sigmoid and PReLU together with three different optimizers: Adam, Nadam and RMSprop for 50, 70, 100 and 200 training iterations. The evaluation metrics employed were Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE), Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE), and the coefficient of determination (R-squared). The best performance was recorded at 200 epochs with the combination of PReLU activation function and Nadam optimizer, which had the best performance with RMSE = 2.56, MAPE = 0.65% and R² = 0.104. This combination was more effective than others since it depicted better overall performance in identifying complex non-linear relationships that existed in the price data. Further on, Nadam seems to have benefits in terms of allowing the model to converge faster and making the training more stable. This work stresses the selection of activation functions and optimization methods when building LSTM models aimed at forecasting prices of commodities with large volatility. It will be very helpful in developing better predictive models and decision-making processes in the agro-business. Another way to enhance predictive performance could be changing the model architecture or using different techniques, such as attention mechanisms.

Authors: Rani Priya , Ameer Faisal , Kanti Pal Hillol , Arora Arundeep , Bylappa Sunil
Published: February 2025

Glomus tumours are benign neoplasms with classical presentations of cold intolerance, severe pain, and tenderness, primarily in subungual locations. However, these hallmark symptoms may not always manifest in extradigital sites, complicating the diagnostic process. This case report presents a patient with a 7-year history of debilitating pain due to a glomus tumour located in the right upper arm. Key clinical findings included persistent, unexplained pain without classic glomus symptoms. This case report highlights the importance of recognising atypical presentations of glomus tumours and the pivotal role of MRI in diagnosis. Optimal diagnostic outcomes are achieved when MRI is performed with a well-informed clinical background and close coordination between the patient, surgeon, and radiologist. Precise anatomical localisation, achieved through careful site marking, along with a reduced field of view in imaging, enhances lesion detection and further aids in minimising intraoperative challenges. This approach ensures more accurate diagnoses and improves surgical outcomes in cases where classical symptoms are absent.

Authors: Abdus Syakur  , Budi Setiawan
Published: February 2025

Food distribution and the food supply chain are major issues in achieving food security in Indonesia. Geographical disparities, poor transportation systems, and social differences in Indonesia cause high complexity challenges in implementing a perfect distribution system that suits Indonesia's characteristics. The objective of this study is to build an application for a food distribution using a Geographic Information System (GIS) that can be implemented in Indonesia. The research method is the SDLC (System Development Life Cycle) approach with a Prototyping Model. The data collected consisted of spatial data in the form of Indonesian maps with the provinces as the mapping unit, and each province has a capital city that acts as a center point for food distribution. Attribute data consisted of province’s profiles, food productivity for each commodity, food supply, food sources and food exports. GIS can visualize all data layers into maps that are easier to analyze. Indonesia consists of 38 provinces spread across many islands, and each has its specific geographic profiles and transportation problems. Building a food distribution application is part of developing a food distribution system that produces a system prototype. The prototyping approach is used to evaluate the results of the GIS design by analyzing the features of food distribution in Indonesia. The result of this study is an application that can be implemented into a food distribution system that can create stable food security in Indonesia for all provinces.

Det övergripande syftet har varit att analyseraiscensättandet och utfallet av fakultetens reviderade interprofessionella curriculum från hösten 2016. Uppdragsgivare var fakultetens styrkeområde Interprofessionellt lärande och samverkan – forskning och utveckling (IPL-S FoU). Forskningsprojektet har identifierat viktiga framsteg vad gällerinterprofessionellt lärande (IPL) som visar att revisionen bland annat har inneburit ett tydligare formellt ledarskap och att interprofessionella moment, mål och kompetenser uttrycks mer samstämmigt av utbildningsprogrammen. Fynden belyser även vikten av att balansera pedagogisk kreativitet och pragmatism viddesignen av läraktiviteter i ett IPL-curriculum. Forskningsprojektet har också belyst pedagogiska och organisatoriska utmaningar som kräver ytterligare utvecklingsarbete. Följande områden i behov av utveckling har identifierats:Bristande samsyn mellan utbildningsprogrammen om integrering mellanprogramspecifikt och interprofessionellt lärande. Iscensättandet av 2016 års IPL-curriculum bedöms inte fullt ut ha medfört den ökade integration som eftersträvades av fakultetsstyrelsen.Brister i läraktiviteternas design för att stödja studenternas möjlighet att urskilja de interprofessionella dimensionerna i samarbetet, samt brister i examinationsformernas upplevda relevans för att bedöma interprofessionellkompetens.Brister i rekrytering av erfarna lärare till IPL-momenten och stöd till lärare att utföra sitt uppdrag. Uppfattningarna om den pedagogiska kompetensutveckling som erbjuds lärare varierar utifrån studieort och yrkesbakgrund.Avslutningsvis konstateras att organisatoriska utmaningar som rör samsyn, signalsystem och förhållningssätt inom fakulteten har påverkat iscensättandet av IPL-curriculum. Forskningsprojektet har belyst vikten av samsyn både inom en heterogen lärargrupp och mellan utbildningsprogrammen för att ett IPL-curriculum ska uppfattas som betydelsefullt och ges organisatoriska förutsättningar att leverera.

Residual liquefaction, a significant issue in marine engineering, results from accumulated pore-water pressure in the seabed due to cyclic shear stresses, which compromises soil stability. This study aims to investigate residual liquefaction around gravity-based marine structures by means of a 2D numerical model. The model employs a two-step procedure: First, the stresses in the soil domain are determined via solving Biot equations, and subsequently the generation and diffusion of accumulated pore pressure in the soil is simulated by means of a pressure diffusion equation with a source term. The model was first validated against analytical solution for pore pressure buildup in the seabed under progressive waves, and against experimental data for residual liquefaction around a buried submarine pipeline. The results showed that the model can satisfactorily capture pore pressure buildup and residual liquefaction in the seabed around structures. Once validated, the model was utilized to model the pore-water pressure buildup and residual liquefaction potential around a caisson breakwater under the action of standing waves and the wave-induced rocking motion of the caisson, separately and in combination. Spatial distribution of liquefaction potential was determined in the seabed soil around the caisson with and without a bedding layer on the seabed. The model results revealed the critical role of the bedding layer in reducing liquefaction susceptibility under standing waves and rocking motion, and highlighted that the rocking motion alone poses a significant risk of inducing residual liquefaction in the seabed around the caisson.

Rammed earth (RE) construction has gained increasing interest in recent years owing to sustainability demands in the construction industry and the advancement of digital fabrication techniques. However, the domination of the cement-stabilized RE material in the RE industry poses environmental concerns due to the substantial carbon emissions associated with cement production. In this study, bio-based alternatives to cement-stabilized RE are investigated through evaluating xanthan gum (XG) and animal glue (AG) as bio-binders for RE stabilization. Unconfined compressive strength tests are conducted on XG and AG-stabilized specimens for mechanical performance evaluation, and unstabilized RE samples as baseline for comparison. Results show that AG-stabilized specimens demonstrate a 294% strength improvement over unstabilized RE, reaching 6.86 MPa at 28 days, while XG-stabilized specimens achieve a 221% improvement. XG-stabilized specimens, however, exhibit susceptibility to microbial proliferation. The findings from this research demonstrate that XG and AG have the potential to be viable alternatives to mainstream RE construction methods, paving the way for advancing environmentally friendly RE construction.

This review article discusses the role of vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A) in the pathogenesis of SARS-CoV-2 and HIV infection, both conditions being renowned for their impact on the vascular endothelium. The processes involved in vascular homeostasis and angiogenesis are reviewed briefly before exploring the interplay between hypoxia, VEGF-A, neuropilin-1 (NRP-1), and inflammatory pathways. We then focus on SARS-CoV-2 infection and show how the binding of the viral pathogen to the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 receptor, as well as to NRP-1, leads to elevated levels of VEGF-A and consequences such as coagulation, vascular dysfunction, and inflammation. HIV infection augments angiogenesis via several mechanisms, most prominently, by the trans-activator of transcription (tat) protein mimicking VEGF-A by binding to its receptor, VEGFR-2, as well as upregulation of NRP-1, which enhances the interaction between VEGF-A and VEGFR-2. We propose that the elevated levels of VEGF-A observed during HIV/SARS-CoV-2 co-infection originate predominantly from activated immune cells due to the upregulation of HIF-1α by damaged endothelial cells. In this context, a few clinical trials have described a diminished requirement for oxygen therapy during anti-VEGF treatment of SARS-CoV-2 infection. The currently available anti-VEGF therapy strategies target the binding of VEGF-A to both VEGFR-1 and VEGFR-2. The blocking of both receptors could, however, lead to a negative outcome, inhibiting not only pathological, but also physiological angiogenesis. Based on the examination of published studies, this review suggests that treatment targeting selective inhibition of VEGFR-1 may be beneficial in the context of SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Preterm birth (PTB) is a major cause of infant morbidity and mortality. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of vaginal microbiota and metabolites on the outcome of pregnant women. In this study, a total of 127 pregnant women provided written informed consent prior to enrollment in accordance with the approved institutional guidelines, but only 45 pregnancies met the experimental requirements, and then blood and cervical vaginal fluid (CVF) samples were collected before delivery (at the second week after cervical cerclage). Pregnant women with PTB exhibited high white blood cell and neutrophil contents, high neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and high systemic inflammation response index (SIRI) in the blood. Vaginal microbiome revealed that the proportion of beneficial bacteria (including Lactobacillus, [Ruminococcus] gnavus group, and Megamonas) significantly decreased in the PTB group, and the proportion of harmful bacteria (including Desulfovibrionaceae, Helicobacter, and Gardnerella) significantly increased, which is strongly related to the biochemical parameters of blood (white blood cells, neutrophils, NLR, and SIRI). In addition, vaginal metabolomics-based liquid chromatography–Orbitrap–tandem mass spectrometry (LC-Orbitrap-MS/MS) found that the alteration in vaginal metabolites in pregnant women with PTB is involved in starch and sucrose metabolism; arginine and praline metabolism; galactose metabolism; purine metabolism; arginine metabolism; tryptophan metabolism and N-glycan biosynthesis; cysteine and methionine metabolism; taurine and hypotaurine metabolism; amino acid metabolism; propanoate metabolism; valine, leucine, and isoleucine biosynthesis; glycine, serine, and threonine metabolism; and steroid hormone biosynthesis. These results elaborated that distinct vaginal microbiome and metabolome profiles in women with preterm delivery following cervical cerclage provide valuable information for establishing the prediction models for PTB.

Introduction

Crohn’s disease (CD) results from alterations in the gut microbiota and the immune system. However, the exact metabolic dysfunctions of the gut microbiota during CD are still unclear. Here, we investigated metagenomic functions using PICRUSt2 during the course of CD to better understand microbiota-related disease mechanisms and provide new insights for novel therapeutic strategies.

Methods

We performed 16S rRNA-based microbial profiling of 567 faecal samples collected from a cohort of 383 CD patients, including 291 remissions (CR), 177 mild-moderate (CM) and 99 severe (CS) disease states. Gene and pathway composition was assessed using PICRUSt2 analyses of 16S data.

Results

As expected, changes in alpha and beta diversity, in interaction networks and increases in Proteobacteria abundance were associated with disease severity. However, microbial function was more consistently disrupted than composition from CR, to CM and then to CS. Major shifts in oxidative stress pathways and reduced carbohydrate and amino acid metabolism in favour of nutrient transport were identified in CS compared to CR. Virulence factors involved in host invasion, host evasion and inflammation were also increased in CS.

Conclusions

This functional metagenomic information provides new insights into community-wide microbial processes and pathways associated with CD pathogenesis. This study paves the way for new advanced strategies to rebalance gut microbiota and/or eliminate oxidative stress, and biofilm to downregulate gut inflammation.
