Una realidad en la sombra. El incesto
Authors: San Segundo Manuel Teresa
Published: July 2024

El incesto constituye un oscuro secreto del que nadie habla. Un silencio atronador lo envuelve y permanece oculto. ¿Por qué no lo vemos? Este libro hace un recorrido para ver el incesto a través de la Historia, los cuentos, la cultura, la biología, la sociología, las estadísticas y la legislación. Acaba abordando las injusticias de la Justicia y haciendo una serie de propuestas para proteger a las víctimas. En esta obra no solo hay datos, historias, romances, mitos y realidades. Hay mucho sentimiento que brota del dolor ante la indefensión infantil, ante la indiferencia social, ante el desconocimiento de esta realidad. Tenemos que prestar atención a los desgarradores gritos infantiles de silencio, asumir nuestra responsabilidad personal y social, tenderles la mano para que dejen atrás su sufrimiento y puedan disfrutar de una vida plena. Teresa San Segundo se atreve con el tema más duro, con lo que nadie quiere saber, con el incesto, aquí y ahora. Lo hace cargada de datos y certeros análisis. Un libro imprescindible. Amelia Valcárcel. Catedrática de Filosofía Moral y Política. Un trabajo indispensable que se enfrenta a una realidad social llena de espesas sombras, la de la violencia sexual incestuosa. Teresa San Segundo no sólo rompe con el tabú en torno a estas agresiones, sino que aporta una visión multidisciplinar que da voz a estas realidades y ofrece propuestas de acción. Ana Mª Portal Nieto. Lingüista, investigadora social, técnica y formadora de igualdad.

Published: July 2024

Objective Vestibular-evoked myogenic potentials (VEMPs) can help in assessing otolithic neural pathway in the brainstem, which may also contribute to the cardiovascular autonomic function. Parkinson’s disease (PD) is associated with altered VEMP responses; however, the associations between VEMP abnormalities and multiple system atrophy (MSA) remain unknown. Therefore, we compared the extent of otolith dysfunction using ocular (oVEMP) and cervical VEMPs between patients with MSA and PD.Methods We analyzed the clinical features, VEMP, and head-up tilt table test (HUT) findings using the Finometer in 24 patients with MSA and 52 with de novo PD who had undergone neurotologic evaluation at a referral-based university hospital in South Korea from January 2021 to March 2023.Results MSA was associated with bilateral oVEMP abnormalities (odds ratio [95% confidence interval] = 9.19 [1.77–47.76], p = 0.008). The n1–p1 amplitude was negatively correlated with the Unified Multiple System Atrophy Rating Scale I-II score in patients with MSA (r = -0.571, p = 0.033), whereas it did not correlate with the Movement Disorder Society-Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale-III score in patients with PD (r = -0.051, p = 0.687). The n1 latency was negatively correlated with maximum changes in systolic blood pressure within 15 s during HUT in patients with PD (r = -0.335, p = 0.040) but not in those with MSA (r = 0.277, p = 0.299).Conclusion Bilaterally abnormal oVEMP responses may indicate the extent of brainstem dysfunction in MSA. oVEMP reflects the integrity of otolith-autonomic interplay, reliably assists in differentiating between MSA and PD, and helps infer clinical decline.

Iridopsis panopla Prout (Lepidoptera: Geometridae) is an important lepidopteran defoliator of eucalyptus. I. panopla eggs were collected naturally in a commercial plantation of Eucalyptus urograndis W. Hill (Myrtaceae) in Três Lagoas, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. After nine days, the natural emergence of Trichogramma pretiosum Riley (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae) occurred from I. panopla eggs. Parasitism was evaluated under laboratory and field conditions, this being the first record for eucalyptus in Brazil. Based on the biological characteristics evaluated in the laboratory, I. panopla eggs are suitable for T. pretiosum reproduction. The obtained percentage parasitism, particularly when 72,000 adult females of T. pretiosum per hectare were employed, provide valuable insights regarding the potential of T. pretiosum as an effective biological control agent against I. panopla in eucalyptus plantations.

Nietzsche, Nishitani, and Laruelle on Faith and Immanence
Authors: Kruger Matthew C.
Published: July 2024

This article explores the use of the concept of “faith” in three non-Christian philosophers. The study begins with Nietzsche, who, while deeply critical of Christian belief throughout his work, offers a positive reformulation of the term in a few key texts. From here, the discussion proceeds to two authors who are deeply influenced by Nietzsche, François Laruelle, and Nishitani Keiji. Laruelle’s recent turn to non-theology sees him engaging directly with Christian theological material and presenting a distinction between a positive form of “faith” in contrast from standard religious “belief,” a distinction I suggest bears close resemblance to Nietzsche’s approach, especially in relation to the Apostle Paul. Finally, Nishitani offers his own account of faith, one inspired primarily by the Buddhist notion of faith, but also referencing Christian theology and specifically the practice of Paul, while also connecting with Nietzsche. The connecting theme for all three thinkers is rooted in Zarathustra’s encouragement to be “faithful to the earth,” a non-transcendent, immanent formulation of faith. Faith, in Nishitani and Laruelle especially, is non-doctrinal, non-dogmatic, and non-intellectual; it is, instead, practical, an immanent existence, a way of life resulting in a different form of connection with the world around us.
Beyond the Sacrificial Fantasy: Body, Law, and Desire
Authors: Guanzini Isabella
Published: July 2024

From its origins, the Christian religious imaginary has been inhabited by the sacrificial fantasy, which finds its most radical symbol in the crucified body. According to the principle of imitatio Jesu, believers have always been called to consider pain as an experience to be lived and shared with Christ, to be offered to him as a gift of self to the Other. Already the masters of suspicion condemned this ascetic-religious cult of sacrifice and showed its dehumanizing and superegoic side, characterized by the violence of abuse, authoritarianism, submission, and above all the denial of life. However, this beneficial and liberating critique has removed the donative and not merely alienating aspect not of the sacrificial body, but of the symbolic sacrifice. Starting from a close dialogue between systematic theology and (Lacanian) psychoanalysis, this contribution aims to question both the sacrificial (religious) fantasy in its alienating character and the equally superegoic drive of the imperative of unlimited enjoyment as a reaction to any kind of symbolic limitation. Against this background, an attempt will be made to think of a form of sacrifice that follows the logic of the gift (of the body), without being subjected to a logic of alienating exchange.
Cutting-edge AI apply un-supervised learning to BDA
Authors: H Szu Harold
Published: July 2024

In order to take advantage of modern computing power, we shall apply AI to Big Data Analysis (BDA) partially from the so-called Art, Culture, Science, and Technology (ACST) --- “experience of Homosapien”, recorded at the 20 Smithsonian Museums and at the National Library of Medicine affiliated with dozens National Institutes of Medicine as well as non-profit Max-Planck ResearchGate.net. We furthermore define unsupervised learning capability that is innate to the Homosapien based on (1) ionic current responsible for Rational IQ and (2) chemical signals supporting Emotional IQ. Thus, we assume that AI computing tools must incorporate thermal temperature to the computer machine, but not operate at low temperature Electromagnetic physics. We begin by reviewing Homosapien intrinsic characteristics: (1) warm blooded brains that provide steady kinetic transport for efficient cellular operations, and (2) the ‘power of paired sensors’ (pops) which gather vector time series order set data Xp(t) for self-referenced unsupervised learning. Likewise, Homosapien have pair time series sensors (ears, eyes, nostrils, olfactory bulbs, taste buds, limbs extremities) which communicate with each other through the nervous system. The nervous system of human brain must be kept in reference at thermodynamics equilibrium, known in biology as homosapiens= . These are necessary but not sufficient conditions for intelligent beings. A higher temperature does not necessarily imply smarter or quicker learning. For example, the chicken’s brain is in equilibrium at but they lack hands, tools and past experience keeping through evolution to be our growth human beings.

Вступ. Формування паливної безпеки є важливим для стабільності держави. Високо розвинуті нафтодефіцитні країни цьому питанню приділяють значну увагу шляхом розвитку виробництва моторного палива.Проблематика. Через падіння нафтовидобутку, занепаду нафтопереробки та обмежених можливостей щодо імпорту нафти та моторного палива Україна поступово перетворювалася на країну із критично низьким рівнем паливної безпеки.Мета. Визначення рівня паливної безпеки країн та України зокрема в Європейському просторі на основі методичного підходу, шо передбачає розрахунок локальних індикаторів паливної безпеки за компонентами та рівнями.Матеріали й методи. Інформаційною базою слугували дані Євростату. За допомогою широкомасштабного моделювання великих масивів у програмному забезпеченні Microsoft Power BI було проведено інтегральну оцінку паливної безпеки європейських країн у регіональному просторі та у динаміці.Результати. Визначено, що міцні позиції з паливної безпеки мають країни, які ощадливо видобувають сирі вуглеводні та розвивають нафтопереробку шляхом низькоконцентрованого імпорту сировини (Норвегія — 77 %, Іспанія — 48 % та Литва — 47 % у загальноєвропейському рейтингу паливної безпеки, сформованому за результатамиоцінки). Рівень паливної безпеки України скоротився з 35 % (13 місце) до 31 % (24 місце), а руйнація виробничихпотужностей через російську агресію зводить його майже до нуля. Зміцнення паливної безпеки України шляхом відбудови виробництва на сирих вуглеводнях неможливе через падіння їх видобутку та обмеженіможливості імпорту.Висновки. Запропоновано методичний підхід до оцінки паливної безпеки країн, що будується на чотирьох безпекових компонентах: достатність, наявність, прийнятність, доступність. Це дозволяє визначити її за рівнями первинної, кінцевої та загальної паливної безпеки. Вирішення проблеми можливе через розбудову виробництва синтетичного моторного палива із вугілля. Отримані результати можуть бути використані при перегляді Енергетичної стратегіїУкраїни.

Published: July 2024

This qualitative research aims to identify the role of Islamic financial literacy and local wisdom in using Sharia banking products. The study employs a qualitative method through a systematic literature review, sourcing data from credible journals with national and international indexes. The collected data is analyzed using the VOSviewer tool, which systematically maps trends and bibliometric networks and visualizes overlay maps and research density levels. The findings indicate that Islamic financial literacy and local wisdom significantly influence financial decisions to use Sharia banking products wherever these banks operate. In addition, local values have fundamental values that are integrated with the operational principles of Sharia banking so that it becomes a meeting point between Sharia banking and local wisdom that is owned by the community so that people in choosing Sharia banking products as a financial decision are not only driven by values. Sharia is also greatly influenced by culture.

Authors: Waharjani Waharjani , Jailani Mohammad , Mohamad Wan Rashidah Hanim Bt Wan , Ningrum Dewi Aprilia
Published: July 2024

Many khateeb of Friday prayer improperly quote the Prophetic hadiths; some of them, for example, just quote the matan (content) of the hadiths. Hadith comprises three elements: sanad, matan, and rawi. This study aims to analyze the use of the prophetic hadiths among when the khateeb in delivering the khutbah (sermon) during the Friday prayer. This research was conducted at a number of Jami' mosques (mosques hosting Friday noon prayers known as jumu'ah) in Yogyakarta during Friday prayer. The subject of this qualitative research is the khateeb who delivers the khutbah (sermons), which was determined by purposive sampling. The data in this study were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation and analyzed by means of analytical descriptive method.  The results of this study indicated a positive and important attitude as proven in the way of khateeb, that always quoted and delivered the hadiths as an explanation of the verses of the Qur'an, though the delivery was not as expected by hadith experts and scholars in relation to their insufficient knowledge of hadith science.

Valores del futuro morfológico y el futuro perifrástico en crónicas deportivas transmitidas por medios audiovisuales
Authors: Quintero Ramírez Sara
Published: July 2024

El objetivo que perseguimos en esta investigación estriba en determinar los valores que despliegan los tiempos futuro morfológico y futuro perifrástico en un corpus de fragmentos de crónicas de cinco disciplinas deportivas, a saber: futbol, tenis, natación, patinaje artístico y ajedrez. Para ello, primeramente, transcribimos los fragmentos de las crónicas antes aludidas; enseguida, identificamos y registramos los futuros tanto morfológicos como perifrásticos; en tercera instancia, examinamos el cotexto en donde fue utilizado cada uno de ellos; finalmente, con base en estudios anteriores respecto de estas formas verbales, pudimos establecer los valores de cada caso registrado. En este estudio, descubrimos que los cronistas deportivos se decantan por el uso del futuro morfológico por encima del futuro perifrástico, contrario a lo que sucede en otros estudios en contextos distintos. Asimismo, el valor principal de ambos futuros es aquel de futuro inmediato, seguido por el valor modal de posibilidad o hipótesis. Otros valores discursivos que identificamos del futuro morfológico son de indicar una consecuencia, así como de desplegar una función fática específicamente del verbo ver en primera persona del plural, como sucede con ciertos marcadores conversacionales. Del futuro perifrástico, no encontramos otros valores además de los ya comentados. Con este artículo tenemos la intención de contribuir en los estudios sobre discurso deportivo, en particular aquellos enfocados en el sistema de tiempos verbales.

Authors: Souza Luiz Antonio Farani de
Published: July 2024

A vibração está em toda parte em nossa vida cotidiana. Nos dias atuais, com o avanço de métodos computacionais e da ciência dos materiais, estruturas civis estão cada vez mais flexíveis e esbeltas. Uma elevada flexibilidade estrutural leva a grandes amplitudes de vibração que podem ser transmitidas às pessoas nos edifícios, causando desconforto, perda de eficiência no trabalho devido ao cansaço e até graves alterações de saúde. Nesse contexto, uma abordagem numérico-computacional é apresentada para a análise modal e transiente de estruturas do tipo shear building utilizando o programa livre Scilab. O efeito do amortecimento na estrutura é descrito pelo modelo de amortecimento de Rayleigh. Um estudo com o sistema de controle passivo AMS instalado no topo da estrutura é apresentado. O AMS é um sistema massa – mola que serve para reduzir a amplitude de vibração do sistema estrutural principal. A abordagem numérica apresentada vem a auxiliar os estudantes de física e das engenharias no que concerne à análise de vibração de sistemas estruturais. A metodologia descrita para análise dinâmica é relativamente de fácil implementação computacional e os resultados numéricos tiveram boa precisão e ficaram de acordo com os resultados disponíveis na literatura.

Published: July 2024

Abstract Objective To identify, within the three axes of vulnerabilities (individual, social, and programmatic), the factors associated with unfavorable treatment outcomes of tuberculosis (TB) among older adults in Brazil between 2015 and 2019. Method This is a cross-sectional study utilizing secondary data from the Notifiable Diseases Information System (SINAN) regarding reported TB cases in Brazil, among individuals aged 60 years or older. The covariates associated with the outcome of interest (p≤0.20) were included in a multinomial logistic regression model using the cure category as the reference. Results Older adults self-identified as black or mixed-race, experiencing homelessness, with mental health disorders, living with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and engaging in the use of licit and illicit drugs had higher odds of loss to follow-up. Furthermore, older adults experiencing homelessness, with mental health disorders, engaging in the use of licit and illicit drugs, and who did not undergo bacilloscopy, presented higher odds of death due to TB. For the outcome of death due to other causes, individuals living with diabetes mellitus and HIV, engaging in the use of licit and illicit drugs, also had higher odds of experiencing this outcome Conclusion The results highlighted the influence of factors on TB treatment outcomes in older adults, encompassing the individual, social, and programmatic axes. Aspects such as advanced age, race, female sex, comorbidities, and homelessness were identified as relevant determinants, emphasizing the need for integrated approaches to improve outcomes and promote a favorable treatment outcome for TB in older adults.

Abstract Objective To compare the degree of agreement, correlation, and accuracy between the Edmonton Frail Scale (EFS) and the Clinical-Functional Vulnerability Index-20 (IVCF-20) instruments in older adults with systemic arterial hypertension (SAH). Method Cross-sectional household study with older adults from Montes Claros, MG. This study included only individuals with SAH whose data were collected from November 2016 to February 2017. Sensitivity, specificity, and predictive values were determined. The Kappa statistic analyzed agreement and reliability, while the Pearson coefficient evaluated the correlation between the instruments. Results A total of 281 individuals with hypertension were included in this study. It was found that the prevalence of frailty was 31.3% according to the EFS and 22.1% according to the IVCF-20. The Kappa statistic was 0.604, and the Pearson correlation coefficient was 0.621 (p<0.001). The accuracy was 84.34%. Conclusion The EFS and IVCF-20 instruments verified moderate agreement and reliability, strong positive correlation, and good accuracy. The results confirm the importance of standardizing the instrument to assess frailty in older adults with hypertension. The appropriate assessment of frailty aims to provide care focused on prevention and promotion that can prevent worsening health status and complications of arterial hypertension.

Published: July 2024

Abstract Objective To estimate the prevalence of heart failure (HF) and explore its potential association with the consumption of ultra-processed foods (UPF) in older adults. Method This cross-sectional study utilized medical records of 1,322 older adults (55% women; mean age of 70.4 years) treated in primary health care facilities in the state of Roraima, Brazil. A cardiologist diagnosed HF based on diagnostic tests such as echocardiography, clinical evaluation, and analysis of medical history. Nutritionists assessed UPF consumption using a nationally standardized form commonly employed in Brazilian primary health care units. Results The findings revealed that 15.4% of older adults had HF. Significant associations were observed between UPF groups and HF, with the probability of HF ranging from OR=1.97 (95% CI=1.36–2.84) for the consumption of hamburgers and/or sausages to OR=2.59 (95% CI=1.73–3.74) for the consumption of filled biscuits, sweets, and treats. Conclusion The consumption of UPF was associated with a high prevalence of HF in this sample of Brazilian older adults. Policymakers and healthcare professionals directly involved with this population should collaborate on targeted interventions and guidelines to reduce UPF consumption and increase the intake of unprocessed foods.

Authors: Carvalho Everson Reis , Reis Venicius Urbano Vilela , Carvalho Maria Laene Moreira de , Rocha Debora Kelli , Caetano Caroline Cássia , Fernandes Nilceli
Published: July 2024

ABSTRACT: The use of an appropriate germination method is crucial to allow expression of the germination potential of the seed lot, especially when the seeds are treated with phytosanitary products, since phytotoxicity can occur in some substrates and under some conditions and the germination values will be underestimated. In this context, the aim of this study was to evaluate the methodology of germination in a rolled paper plus vermiculite (RP+V) and the possibility of its statistical validation for routine use in laboratories. Four seed lots of two cultivars with different vigor levels and chemical insecticide treatments (control, thiamethoxam + cyantraniliprole, clothianidin + fipronil, and imidacloprid + thiodicarb, all seeds were treated with fungicide) were used. The samples were prepared and sent to 13 laboratories accredited by the Ministério da Agricultura e Pecuária (MAPA) for germination assessment with RP+V. The collected data were analyzed using statistical methodologies to assess the repeatability and reproducibility of the method, as well as its precision and accuracy. The data from normal soybean seedlings evaluated using the rolled paper plus vermiculite (RP+V) methodology show repeatability, reproducibility, precision, and accuracy within the critical parameters of 1% and 5%. The proposed methodology is reliable and can be routinely implemented in evaluation of soybean seeds, especially those treated with phytosanitary products.

RESUMO Os estudos sobre itinerários terapêuticos revelam modelos de cuidado e decisões tomadas pelas pessoas em situações de adoecimento e podem contribuir para o planejamento de políticas e serviços de saúde mais efetivos, especialmente em emergências como a pandemia de covid-19. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi descrever os itinerários terapêuticos de pacientes hospitalizados por covid-19 em um hospital público do Distrito Federal e explorar associações com determinantes sociais da saúde. Trata-se de um estudo de caso integrado, com triangulação de evidências quantitativas e qualitativas obtidas a partir da análise do banco de dados de um estudo observacional transversal com 233 adultos internados entre maio/2020 e dezembro/2021. A maioria homens, idosos, pretos ou pardos, com baixo nível de renda e escolaridade e múltiplas comorbidades, que procuraram atendimento na atenção especializada e conseguiram acesso rápido ao sistema de saúde. Os fatores que influenciaram a escolha do primeiro serviço foram: ocupação, região de moradia, classe econômica e escolaridade. Já os determinantes da facilidade de acesso foram: tipo de serviço buscado primeiro, gravidade do caso e contexto socioeconômico. Os resultados confirmam a influência de determinantes sociais nas experiências de adoecimento e podem subsidiar reflexões relacionadas à organização do acesso ao SUS em emergências sanitárias.

Published: July 2024

This study evaluates the perception of professors on interprofessional education (IPE) from a public university in Brazil. Professors of Medicine, Dentistry and Nursing participated in synchronous online focus groups reflecting on topics: (1) common disciplines, (2) interprofessional research and extension projects, (3) attention to social determinants in user treatment plans, and (4) collaborative practices during the Covid-19 pandemic. An accurate focus group transcription and interpretative descriptive analysis were used to assess four focus groups (n=10) using a structured instrument with 17 items about the 4 topics mentioned. According to professors, there are no common disciplines among health courses. Extension and research projects with an interprofessional approach are only individual initiatives by professors. According to participants, students consider social determinants in treatment plans. There were few collaborative practices during the pandemic. There was a need for IPE guidelines for graduation.
O conceito de camponês no Brasil: usos e críticas
Authors: Severo Marconi
Published: July 2024

Resumo O conceito de “camponês” é hoje um dos mais difundidos entre os estudiosos do espaço social rural. No Brasil, a mobilização do termo (muitas vezes ao nível da doxa) se resume a duas situações: como opção teórica e como opção ideológica, isto é, como constructo teórico-conceitual mobilizado no campo acadêmico, sobretudo por cientistas sociais, para analisar o meio rural e, nele, os pequenos agricultores, e também como uma nova orientação ideológica dos movimentos sociais populares do campo, que buscam convergir forças e ressignificar antigas pautas por meio da tríade agroecologia, reforma agrária e campesinato. Ao analisar como a categoria se faz presente na imagística cultural brasileira, este artigo buscou problematizar suas deficiências e potencialidades em ambas as situações.

Legitimacy, power, and authority: a Weberian perspective
Authors: Nikolakakis Nikolaos
Published: July 2024

Abstract This study aims to comprehensively analyze the Weberian concept of legitimacy, focusing on its implications for the empirical strength and stability of a social order. It begins by examining the incentives that ensure the legitimacy of an order, with particular emphasis on the relationship between law and morality. Furthermore, it explores the various theoretical perspectives and methodological approaches to legitimacy found in the literature, highlighting their relevance to the development of a more robust framework for understanding this complex phenomenon. Drawing from diverse sources and scholarly debates, the study investigates the role of value-oriented action (wertrationales Handeln) in shaping the nature and effectiveness of legitimate social orders. It also delves into the factors that contribute to the internal reasons for subjects to believe in a legitimate order. By synthesizing insights from various disciplines and intellectual traditions, this study aims to contribute to a more nuanced and holistic understanding of legitimacy. It also seeks to provide a solid foundation for future research and policy-making, emphasizing the importance of considering both empirical and normative aspects of legitimacy when examining the factors that contribute to the stability and resilience of social orders.

Preloading with vertical drains is an effective ground improvement technique used to accelerate the consolidation process. Generally, embankments are constructed over a period, by increasing the fill height with time. Hence, it is not always realistic to analyse embankments as a single ramp loading or an instantaneous loading. Although many studies have been conducted to calculate the settlement variation under time-dependent loading, those methods are complex in practical applications and do not consider the secondary consolidation settlement, which is important for very soft organic soils. In this study, the original Barron consolidation theory is applied to calculate the variation of settlement, pore water pressure and degree of consolidation due to incremental step loading of embankments, constructed on compressible soft organic soil, stabilised with vertical drains (gravel compaction piles, sand compaction piles and prefabricated vertical drains). The settlement predictions are compared with the actual settlement monitoring data obtained during the construction of road embankments, and pore pressure variation is compared with the results obtained from a case study reported in the literature. The comparisons show that the results obtained from the proposed method match very well with the actual field measurements.

Aim: This study aimed to collect evidence on the validity and reliability of measurements obtained from digital impression techniques. Materials and Methods: This comparative study was conducted on 31 patients. Intraoral scanner was applied to all patients. For each patient, an alginate impression of the upper maxilla was taken and later the 3D digital model was extracted by dental cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). For preparation of plaster models, alginate impressions were taken and immediately poured with dental stone. In the next stage, a comparison was performed among the intraoral scanner, CBCT, and plaster models in terms of tooth size, dental width, and intra-arch dimensions. Results: Measuring tooth size and intra-arch dimensions in digital images obtained from intraoral scanner and CBCT were in most cases lower than the results obtained in the plaster models but the differences between digital techniques and plaster models are not clinically noticeable. Conclusions: Digital systems including intraoral scanner and CBCT are acceptable for clinical use in terms of accuracy.

Introduction: Microorganism infiltration through the im-plant-abutment interface causes oral health problems such as periimplantitis, leading to implant loss. Materials and Methods: A feasible new method to quantify the Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) infiltration through the implant-abutment interface gap is introduced in the present work. Internal hexagon (IH; n = 10), external hexagon (EH; n = 10), Morse taper (MT; n = 10), and a control for each group (n = 1) were tested. Bacteria suspension was prepared at 1.5x108 CFU/mL (CFU: colony forming units), and the implants were individually submerged up to the connection level, allowing the bacteria to contact it. The abutment was removed, and bacteria count was performed. Results: The implant sets were tested under normal bacterial growth and early and late biofilm growth conditions. Colony-forming units per mL were obtained, and the results were compared among groups. Differences in bacterial count between the MT and EH (p<0.001) and the MT and IH (p<0.001) groups were significantly higher in the MT-type implant. There was a significant increment of bacterial infiltration in the MTs submitted to late biofilm growth conditions. EH and IH connections are more effective in preventing bacterial infiltration independent of the growth condition. Conclusions: The proposed methodology is feasible to evaluate the infiltration of microorganisms through the implant-abutment interface.

Introduction: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a prevalent chronic metabolic disorder worldwide, with Type II DM (T2DM) emerging as the most widespread variant. In Chile, approximately 11% of adults aged 20 to 79 suffer from this condition. Given its high prevalence, dental surgeons should be trained to evaluate risk factors, particularly the potential complications linked to tooth extraction in individuals with T2DM. Objetive: To describe the available scientific evidence on post-exodontia complications associated with hyperglycemia in patients with Type II diabetes mellitus. Materials and Methods: An exploratory systematic review was conducted following the PRISMA-ScR extension protocols using the databases PubMed, EBSCO, Scopus and the Cochrane Library. The search employed the following algorithms: ((“Diabetic patient complications” AND “Dental extractions”)), ((“Diabetes” AND “tooth extraction”)), ((“Glycemia” AND “Tooth extraction complications”), ((“Blood glucose” AND “Tooth extractions”), ((“Dental extraction sockets” AND “Diabetics”). Results: Out of a total of 973 articles, 25 were included for this review. Six relevance criteria were considered, revealing safety parameters for conducting extractions in patients with T2DM, with capillary blood glucose levels not exceeding 200 mg/dL for elective extractions and 240 mg/dL for emergency extractions. Conclusions: There is limited evidence correlating threshold values of hyperglycemia with post-extraction complications in patients with T2DM. Most authors agree that the primary concern is not T2DM itself, but hyperglycemia. Furthermore, there is minimal consistency in the recommended care protocols for these patients.

Objective: This study aims to analyze the survival time of molar tooth according to furcation involvement (FI) classification among periodontally treated patients under a supportive periodontal care program. Materials and Methods: A retrospective study was con-ducted among 77 periodontitis patients with 240 molars who had undergone periodontal therapy that were followed up with supportive periodontal therapy (SPT) for at least five years. Periodontitis patients’ data were retrieved from the periodontic clinical record. The clinical parameters of all involved molars and treatment modality were recorded at baseline and SPT. Results: A total of 69 (28.8%) molars were extracted during active periodontal therapy, while 17 (7.1%) were lost during SPT. The 5-year survival rate of molars was 83.5% (95% confidence interval [CI], 76.9-88.4) for FI=0 (n=141), 81.0% (95% CI, 56.9-92.4) for FI=I (n=18), 50.0% (95% CI, 33.8-64.2) for FI=II (n=21), and 25.0% (95% CI, 6.9-48.8) for FI=III (n=4). Additionally, the 10-year survival rate for molars with FI = III was 12.5% (95% CI, 1.0-39.2), which was lower than that of molars with FI = 0 (77.1%; 95% CI, 69.7-83.0). Conclusions: The presence of a high degree of FI classifica-tion, especially Class III, is associated with a lower survival rate of molars among periodontally treated patients. Retention of molars is possible on a long-term basis through a maintenance program of periodontal therapy.
