Published: July 2024

Background:

Intra-articular distal radius fractures (DRFs) are prevalent injuries that are usually difficult to treat and rehabilitate. These injuries may be associated with ligamentous injuries or intra-articular loose fragments. This study aims to assess the functional and radiological results of using arthroscopic-assisted reduction and fixation, which offers direct visualization of the joint surface, evaluation of intra-articular ligaments, and removal of loose fragments, potentially enhancing recovery outcomes.

Patients and Methods:

This quasi-experimental interventional study evaluated the functional and radiological outcomes of arthroscopic-assisted reduction and fixation for intra-articular DRFs. The study included 26 patients who met specific inclusion criteria, and data collection involved preoperative assessment, patient preparation, operative measures, postoperative care, and follow-up evaluations using various scoring systems.

Results:

The range of motion showed a significant (P < 0.001) improvement over the study duration: flexion increased from 42.81° ± 11.81° at 6 weeks to 54.23° ± 14.95° at 12 months, and extension improved from 56.88° ± 13.28° to 68.38° ± 13.43°. In addition, there was a significant reduction in disability and wrist-related symptoms, as indicated by improvements in the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (DASH) scores (6 weeks: 25.80 ± 15.85 vs. 12 months: 5.27 ± 8.61; P < 0.01) and Patient-Rated Wrist Evaluation (PRWE) scores at the same follow-up intervals (6 weeks: 46.04 ± 22.49 vs. 12 months: 9.54 ± 12.03; P < 0.001). Chronic illness and injuries like triangular fibrocartilage complex tears affected outcomes negatively. Age, ulnar variance, and palmar tilt were significantly correlated with DASH and PRWE scores.

Conclusion:

Arthroscopic-assisted reduction and fixation for intra-articular DRFs resulted in favorable outcomes regarding the range of motion, disability, and wrist-related symptoms. Further research and long-term follow-up studies are recommended to validate the positive outcomes of arthroscopic-assisted reduction and fixation for intra-articular DRFs, compare it with other surgical approaches, and assess its economic implications.
Tensor Methods in Biomedical Image Analysis
Authors: Sedighin Farnaz
Published: July 2024

In the past decade, tensors have become increasingly attractive in different aspects of signal and image processing areas. The main reason is the inefficiency of matrices in representing and analyzing multimodal and multidimensional datasets. Matrices cannot preserve the multidimensional correlation of elements in higher-order datasets and this highly reduces the effectiveness of matrix-based approaches in analyzing multidimensional datasets. Besides this, tensor-based approaches have demonstrated promising performances. These together, encouraged researchers to move from matrices to tensors. Among different signal and image processing applications, analyzing biomedical signals and images is of particular importance. This is due to the need for extracting accurate information from biomedical datasets which directly affects patient’s health. In addition, in many cases, several datasets have been recorded simultaneously from a patient. A common example is recording electroencephalography (EEG) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) of a patient with schizophrenia. In such a situation, tensors seem to be among the most effective methods for the simultaneous exploitation of two (or more) datasets. Therefore, several tensor-based methods have been developed for analyzing biomedical datasets. Considering this reality, in this paper, we aim to have a comprehensive review on tensor-based methods in biomedical image analysis. The presented study and classification between different methods and applications can show the importance of tensors in biomedical image enhancement and open new ways for future studies.

Authors: Vidyalakshmi S , Shanmugasamy K
Published: July 2024

Salivary gland lesions are a group of heterogeneous lesions inclusive of non-neoplastic and neoplastic lesions. History, clinical examination and preoperative investigations attempt to minimise the challenges faced in diagnosing these diverse lesions. Preoperative investigations include imaging and cytopathology. The advent of onsite evaluation methods to ensure sample adequacy and newer reporting systems that assign risk of malignancy has improved the sensitivity and specificity of cytopathology. The scope of this review is limited to the preoperative cytopathological investigations and the diagnostic challenges met in reporting salivary gland tumours.

Published: July 2024

Tuberculosis (TB) is a serious infectious disease with significant mortality and most commonly affects the pulmonary system and rarely the oral cavity. Because oral tuberculosis is a rare disease, it is often overlooked in the differential diagnosis of oral lesions. Despite the recent decline in the incidence of tuberculosis, it remains a highly contagious and serious public health problem, thus requiring early diagnosis and rapid intervention. Extrapulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB) is defined as any bacteriologically confirmed or clinically diagnosed case of tuberculosis (TB). A 17-year-old girl reported at the outpatient Department of Dentistry with the chief complaint of a swelling at the backside of mouth along with pus discharge. She noticed these symptoms approximately one month after the extraction of the left mandibular first molar. The patient was referred to the Department of Pulmonary Medicine for further investigation and treatment. Subsequently, diagnosis of EPOTB was reached on the basis of the histopathological findings and the previous personal as well as family history. Drastic improvement was observed in the general condition and a complete resolution of the oral lesion after four weeks of ATT and the patient was completely free of all the symptoms after six months of follow-up period. This case demonstrated the importance of oral manifestation of oral tuberculosis for dentist who may be the first healthcare provider to encounter a variety of oral lesions.

Authors: Thiagarajan Magesh Karuppur , Chandrasekharan Deepak , Mahalingam Ramya , Ravi Aravindhan
Published: July 2024

Background:

For decades, Wrightia tinctoria (W. tinctoria) has been important in the field of traditional medicine. The identification and isolation of numerous chemically potent and pharmaceutically advantageous phytochemicals isolated from this plant extract has contributed to its resurrection into evidence-based modern medicine. This plant is inexpensive and indigenous to the Indian subcontinent.

Materials and Method:

An in vitro study was carried out using KB (KERATIN-forming tumour cell line HeLa) oral cancer cell line. The control drug doxorubicin along with the test drug W. tinctoria was tested for anti-cancer potential by using MTT (3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5 diphenyl tetrazolium bromide) assay and for apoptotic activity by using DNA fragmentation assay and western blotting assay.

Results:

The study was conducted using MTT assay to determine the cytotoxicity of plant extract against oral cancer cell line by determining the IC50 values at the end of 24 hours by the MTT calorimetric assay. The IC50 value of 48.89 and 9.62 was arrived for the W. tinctoria extract and doxorubicin, respectively, by using MTT calorimetric assay. DNA fragmentation assay showed a ladder pattern when treated with 59 μg/mL extract of W. tinctoria, and western blot analysis revealed the presence of cleaved caspase 3, confirming the apoptotic potential of the extract.

Conclusion:

The current study demonstrated that the plant extract has effective anti-cancer and apoptotic potential and can be used as a natural source for the production of new anti-cancer and cytotoxic agents against oral cancer.

Authors: Khan Mohammad Imran , Khare Abhisheik , Arif Khushboo , Khan Sameera Shamim , Nasir Abdullah , Lari Shafik
Published: July 2024

Background:

Dental pulp calcifications or pulp stones are calcified structures found in dental pulp, mostly around or enclosing a blood vessel. The formation of these calcifications begins with concentric layers of calcified tissue within which remnants of necrotic and calcified cells may be present. The calcifications of thrombi in blood vessels, called phleboliths, may also serve as nidi for denticles. In metabolic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension or poor periodontal health, there are obvious changes in blood vessels and vascularization. In our study, we observed histopathological sections of dental pulp and correlated systemic diseases such as diabetes and hypertension with poor periodontal health and dental pulp stones.

Aim:

The aim of our study was to evaluate the histopathology of dental pulp stones, their distribution among various age groups and sexes and to identify any correlations between pulp stone formation and systemic diseases such as type II diabetes and hypertension.

Materials and Methods:

Samples from 100 patients with metabolic diseases such as type II diabetes and hypertension were collected. The pulp was extirpated from the teeth that were undergoing root canal treatment, and the teeth were extracted. The collected pulp sample was fixed in 10% formaline neutral buffer, subjected to routine histopathological procedures and stained with haematoxylin and eosin. The pulp of teeth extracted for orthodontic treatment was considered a control for patients with no metabolic disease.

Results:

There was a definite relationship between increased pulp stones and metabolic diseases such as type II diabetes and hypertension; likewise, poor periodontal health was significantly related to pulp stones.
Juvenile trabecular ossifying fibroma associated with central giant cell granuloma and aneurysmal bone cyst like changes – A triple hybrid tumour? Or a pathologic sequelae?
Authors: Krishna Revathi , Kumar Priya , Mohanty Sujata , Urs Aadithya B.
Published: July 2024

Hybrid tumours encompass lesions containing two or more pathologic entities. The pathogenesis of these lesions is barely understood and described. Juvenile trabecular ossifying fibroma (JTOF) is a benign but locally aggressive fibro-osseous neoplasm commonly affecting the maxilla of the adolescent age group. Hybrid lesions of JTOF have been reported along with central giant cell granuloma (CGCG), aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) and traumatic bone cyst, respectively. However, the co-occurrence of JTOF with CGCG and ABC in a single patient has not yet been reported in the literature, hence, making ours the first case report of this kind. Theories describing the pathogenesis of this rare phenomenon have also been proposed and elaborated.
The use of cap-mounted clips as a primary hemostatic modality in nonvariceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized trials
Authors: Alali Ali A. , Almadi Majid A. , Martel Myriam , Barkun Alan N.
Published: July 2024

Background:

Cap-mounted-clips, especially Over-The-Scope-Clip (OTSC™), are recommended for recurrent nonvariceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding (NVUGIB). There has been recent interest in their use as an initial hemostatic modality. We performed a systematic review of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) assessing cap-mounted clips’ efficacy as a primary hemostatic modality in NVUGIB.

Methods:

A literature search of MEDLINE, EMBASE, and ISI Web of Science databases up to April 2024 identified RCTs comparing cap-mounted clips to standard endoscopic therapy (SET) as a primary hemostatic modality in NVUGIB. The primary endpoint was the composite outcome of further bleeding (persistent or recurrent) at 30 days. Secondary outcomes included persistent bleeding at index endoscopy and 30-day rebleeding, individually. Other pertinent outcomes were also recorded. A meta-analysis was performed to determine pooled risk ratios (RRs), comparing cap-mounted clip to SET. Out of 516 citations, five RCTs (n = 555), all assessing OTSC™, were included.

Results:

The composite outcome of further bleeding was lower with cap-mounted clip versus SET (RR = 0.33 [95% confidence interval {CI}: 0.20–0.54]). There was no difference in persistent bleeding at initial endoscopy (RR = 0.30 [95% CI: 0.07–1.30]), but 30-day rebleeding was lower with cap-mounted clip (RR = 0.38 [95% CI: 0.21–0.70]). There were no differences in other outcomes. Grading of the evidence ranged from very low to moderate, mainly due to risk of bias and imprecision.

Conclusions:

Cap-mounted clips may be an efficacious primary hemostatic modality, associated with a lower further bleeding at 30 days compared to SET in NVUGIB. However, due to limitations in existing evidence, further research must better characterize an optimal subgroup of patients benefiting most from this approach before adopting its routine use.

Published: July 2024

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a systemic disease with augmented malignant degree, high mortality and poor prognosis. Since the establishment of the immune mechanism of tumor therapy, people have realized that immunotherapy is an effective means for improvement of HCC patient prognosis. Oncolytic virus is a novel immunotherapy drug, which kills tumor cells and exempts normal cells by directly lysing tumor and inducing anti-tumor immune response, and it has been extensively examined as an HCC therapy. This editorial discusses oncolytic viruses for the treatment of HCC, emphasizing viral immunotherapy strategies and clinical applications related to HCC.

Authors: Cao Yang , Li Pei-Pei , Qiao Bing-Li , Li Quan-Wang
Published: July 2024

BACKGROUND

In the quest to manage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the focus has shifted to a more holistic approach encompassing both data analytics and innovative treatments. Analyzing rich data resources, such as the cancer genome atlas (TCGA), and examining progressive therapies can potentially reshape the trajectory of HCC treatment.

AIM

To elucidate the immunological genes and the underlying mechanism of the combined Kombo knife and sorafenib regimen for HCC by analyzing data from TCGA and machine learning data.

METHODS

Immune attributes were evaluated via TCGA's postablation HCC RNA sequencing data. Using weighted gene coexpression network analysis and machine learning, we identified genes with high prognostic value. The therapeutic landscape and safety metrics of the integrated treatment were critically evaluated across cellular and animal models.

RESULTS

Immune genes–specifically, peptidylprolyl isomerase A and solute carrier family 29 member 3–emerged as significant prognostic markers. Enhanced therapeutic outcomes, such as prolonged progression-free survival and an elevated overall response rate, characterize the combined approach, with peripheral blood mononuclear cells displaying potent effects on HCC dynamics.

CONCLUSION

The combination of Kombo knife with sorafenib is an innovative HCC treatment modality anchored in immune-centric strategies.
Aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 family member repression promotes colorectal cancer progression by JNK/p38 MAPK pathways-mediated apoptosis and DNA damage
Authors: Yu Miao , Chen Qian , Lu Yi-Ping
Published: July 2024

BACKGROUND

Aldehyde (ALDH2) dysfunction has been verified to contribute to human cancers.

AIM

To investigate the molecular mechanism and biological function of ALDH2 in colorectal cancer (CRC) progression.

METHODS

Human CRC cells with high expression of ALDH2 were screened. After shRNA ALDH2 (sh-ALDH2) transfection, phenotypes [proliferation, apoptosis, acetaldehyde (ACE) accumulation, DNA damage] of CRC cells were verified using cell counting kit-8, flow cytometry, ACE assay, and comet assays. Western blotting was used for evaluation of the apoptosis proteins (Bax and Bcl-2) and JNK/p38 MAPK pathway-associated proteins. We subjected CVT-10216 (a selective ALDH2 inhibitor) to nude mice for establishment of SK-CO-1 mouse xenograft model and observed the occurrence of CRC.

RESULTS

The inhibition of ALDH2 could promote the malignant structures of CRC cells, including apoptosis, ACE level, and DNA damage, and cell proliferation was decreased in the sh-ALDH2 group, whereas ALDH2 agonist Alda-1 reversed features. ALDH2 repression can cause ACE accumulation, whereas ACE enhanced CRC cell features related to increased DNA damage. Additionally, ALDH2 repression led to JNK/P38 MAPK activation, and apoptosis, ACE accumulation, and DNA damage were inhibited after p38 MAPK inhibitor SB203580 and JNK inhibitor SP600125 addition. ACE accumulation and raised DNA damage were recognized in CVT-10216 treated-mouse tumor tissues in vivo .

CONCLUSION

The repression of ALDH2 led to ACE accumulation, inducing cell apoptosis and DNA damage by the JNK/p38 MAPK signaling pathway activation in CRC.

BACKGROUND AND AIM: Diverse cage sizes have been implicated in the alteration of pain sensitivity and inflammation parameters in animal-based experiments. Sparse information is available on the effect of exposure to different cage sizes on memory in animal studies. This study thus aimed to investigate the effect of varied cage size exposure on memory.
METHODOLOGY: Twelve adult male Swiss mice (29-34 g) divided into two groups (n=6) were used for this study, comprising a Control group (stationary cage) and a Test group (migrated cage). The cage-migrated mice were exposed daily to various cage sizes typically used in Nigerian laboratories for 30 days. In contrast, the cage-stationed mice were daily exposed to new but the same size and shape cage. After 30 days of exposure, memory functions were assessed in the animals using memory-related behavioural paradigms (such as novel object recognition test), acetylcholinesterase activity and histological evaluation.
RESULTS: The results showed no significant difference in the recognition and spatial memory of cage-migrated animals compared to its cage stationed counterparts. The brain acetylcholinesterase activity significantly (p < 0.05) decreased in cage-migrated mice compared to cage-stationed animals but there was no difference in plasma acetylcholinesterase activity in both groups. Also, histological evaluation of all regions of the hippocampus in both groups of animals did not show any significant difference. Though cornu ammonis regions appeared to be enlarged in cage migrated animals compared to cage stationed.
CONCLUSION: Repeated exposure of experimental mice to varied cage sizes could selectively decrease brain acetylcholinesterase activity without affecting the animals’ memory.

BACKGROUND AND AIM: Tramadol abuse has a substantial risk of altering the histoarchitecture and causing cognitive decline. Therefore, this study investigated the effects of tramadol on cognitive function and histopathological changes in the structures of the hippocampal formation.
METHODOLOGY: Twelve apparently healthy Wistar rats (120-150g) were used for this study. They were divided into two groups with six (n=6) rats in each group. The control group was given 2ml/kg of distilled water while 50 mg/kg of tramadol was given to group 2 orally for 21 days. The Morris Water Maze (MWM) was utilized to assess spatial learning and memory over the last six days of the experiment. The rats were euthanized and brains harvested, fixed in 10% formol saline, and processed routinely using haematoxylin & eosin (H&E) for general histoarchitecture.  
RESULTS: The result of MWM showed a prolonged time taken and longer distance covered to locate the escape platform in the acquisition phase while the probe test showed less time spent in the target quadrant in which the platform was previously located in the tramadol-treated group. Histologically, there were several neuronal degenerative changes presenting as pyknotic nuclei, dark neurons, vacuolations, congested blood vessels, karyorrhexis, necrotic cells, and infiltration of cells in the various layers of the structures of the hippocampal formation.
CONCLUSION: Findings from this study revealed changes in spatial learning and memory, and hippocampal formation histopathology.

Published: July 2024

Slavery is not a product of Islam as it existed long before the Prophet Muhammad came. Even in the Qur'an, there are strong indications that enjoying sex with an unmarried slave girl is the same as enjoying it with a legal wife, so it is not even called zina in the Qur'an. It is evident that during the pre-Islamic era, sexuality between a master and his slave girl was commonplace. This research is a literature that is sourced in the form of books, journals and previous research that has the same theme of discussion as this issue. The result of this writing is that in Islam, the master or employer having sex with a slave girl is allowed and is not called adultery because it is stated in the Al-Qur'an surah Al-Mu'minun verses 5-7. The slavery that currently occurs in Saudi Arabia with various forms of slavery, one of which is the forced sexual intercourse of the master against his slave girl, is an act that is strictly prohibited and hated in Islam because it lowers the dignity and dignity of women.
Gran Bretaña e Inglaterra en algunas de las "Cantigas de Santa María" de Alfonso X
Authors: Disalvo Santiago
Published: July 2024

Más de una docena de milagros narrados en las Cantigas de Santa María de Alfonso X mencionan a Gran Bretaña y, particularmente, a Inglaterra. Si bien varias alusiones no parecen muy significativas, en algunas cantigas narrativas se encuentran elementos prodigiosos del trasmundo experimentados por monjes situados en Inglaterra o en territorio británico. Es el caso particular de las cantigas 226, 288 y 296. La cantiga 226 relata el hundimiento y milagroso resurgimiento de un monasterio inglés en el día de Pascua, y evidencia nexos con algunas leyendas británicas. En las otras dos cantigas se destaca especialmente uno de los santos más importantes en la rica historia eclesiástica de Inglaterra, el arzobispo san Dunstan de Canterbury, retratado en numerosos textos medievales ingleses (las varias Vita Sancti Dunstani de Eadmer, de Osbern, entre otros), así como en algunos milagros marianos, desde el siglo XI.

Published: July 2024

In the last two decades, insurance markets in industrialised countries have undergone significant transformation due to deregulation, increased competition and globalisation. This evolution has also impacted emerging markets such as Indonesia, where the insurance sector, particularly digital insurance, presents both challenges and opportunities. This study aims to explore the factors that influence customer adoption of digital insurance platforms in Indonesia, focusing on perceived ease of use, usability, customer experience, trust in technology, and innovativeness. The research employed both qualitative and quantitative methodologies, including thematic analysis of interviews and multiple linear regression analysis of survey data. The results showed that while perceived usefulness and innovativeness had a positive effect on adoption intention, perceived ease of use had a negative impact, indicating the need for a balance between simplicity and security. Trust in technology, while not directly impactful, is still important for building user confidence. This study highlights the importance of user education, strong data protection, and innovative features in driving digital insurance adoption. However, limitations such as the focus on certain factors and the cross-sectional nature of this study indicate the need for further research to cover a wider range of variables and longitudinal data.

Traffic Congestion Prediction Using Graph Convolution Networks
Authors: Prakash Rao Ragiri  , Prof. Zahid Raza
Published: July 2024

Traffic congestion is a critical issue in urban transportation systems, leading to increased travel times, fuel consumption, and air pollution. Furthermore, accurate prediction of traffic conditions is essential for effective traffic management and route planning. However, traditional approaches often fail to capture the complex spatiotemporal dependencies inherent in road networks. This study compares the performance of Graph Convolutional Networks (GCNs) for traffic congestion prediction using Amsterdam sensor location datasets from 13 locations (01-10-2023 to 31-10-2023) and 18 locations (01-01-2024 to 26-01-2024).

Orthodoxie réformée, philologie et millénarisme

Anna-Maria van Schurman (1607-1678) est bien connue pour son plaidoyer en faveur de l’accession des femmes aux études académiques et son rapprochement avec la communauté de Jean de Labadie à la fin de son existence. On connaît en revanche moins bien ses travaux exégétiques, rédigés alors qu’elle adhérait encore à l’orthodoxie calviniste. Cette étude se propose de revenir sur ces recherches qui mêlent avec subtilité recours aux langues orientales, référence aux sources juives et musulmanes mais aussi respect du cadre doctrinal orthodoxe. Elle montre une théologienne maîtrisant pleinement l’ensemble de ces paramètres mais se montrant aussi prudemment ouverte aux récentes thèses millénaristes d’auteurs tels que Joseph Mede.
