A simplified and evidence-informed approach to designing removable partial dentures. Part 5. Design examples for Kennedy classifications
Authors: Owen CP
Published: April 2024

For many decades the literature has regularly reported that there is a discrepancy between what is taught in dental school and what is practiced, especially in the field of removable partial dentures. Not only that, but for more than 60 years reports from around the world have shown that, usually, the majority of clinicians abdicate their responsibility to design a removable partial denture (RPD) and instead leave this to the dental technician, who has no knowledge of the clinical condition of the patient and works only from a cast. Most patients around the world who require RPDs to improve aesthetics and chewing can only afford a removable prosthesis simply because the majority are poor. But RPDs can improve these aspects and contribute to an improved quality of life.

Authors: Jonker Casper H , Van der Vyver Peet J , Oettlé Anna C
Published: April 2024

The complexity of root canal morphology can influence cleaning and shaping of the root canal system and, ultimately, treatment outcomes. Undiscovered root canal morphology can greatly reduce the prognosis of endodontic treatment due to the preservation of offending organisms and their by products. The maxillary first molar has been identified as one of the most challenging teeth to treat endodontically due to its complex internal anatomy, the presence of additional and accessory canals and intricate root canal configurations. This paper is the second of two that provide a micro computed tomography (micro-CT)-focused overview of available literature on various aspects of the root and canal morphology of the maxillary first permanent molar. The aim of this paper is to provide an overview of relevant aspects of the internal root morphology in different populations. The content is supported by illustrative micro-CT images and clinical cases or images.

This research aims to evaluate the quality of conversational agents based on Large Language Models for evaluating the application of knowledge in Biomedical Engineering. An evaluation instrument was developed on six topics for measuring bioelectrical signals prepared by a human agent and the conversational agents Chat-GPT and Bard. The quality of the instrument was evaluated in terms of level of thinking, validity, relevance, clarity, difficulty, and discrimination capacity, using the kappa (k) index of the agreement of two experts and Rasch analysis of results from thirty-eight students. After eliminating seven questions from the conversational agents due to validity and originality problems, a 6-question instrument was integrated. The questions were valid and relevant, clear (>0.95, k=1.0), with low to high difficulty (0.61-0.87, k=0.83), adequate discrimination index (0.11-0.47), at the analysis level of thinking (k =0.22). The average score of the students was 7.24±2.40. This is the first critical analysis of the quality of conversational agents at a level of thinking higher than comprehension. The conversational agents presented limitations in terms of validity, originality, difficulty, and discrimination compared to the human expert, which highlights the need for their supervision.

Authors: Agafonova Irina S.
Published: April 2024

The high prevalence of chronic forms of gingivitis among young individuals is an urgent problem of modern dentistry, the solution of which requires new approaches and methods.
Thus, this study aimed to investigate the clinical and functional state of the periodontium at the initial inflammatory processes in the tissues and its correction using physical methods of treatment.
Clinical examination, index assessment, laser Doppler flowmetry, and video registration of vacuum test in a patient with chronic gingivitis revealed an increase in gingival capillary resistance and improvement of microcirculation in the periodontium at the end of vacuum therapy combined with exposure to laser radiation of red wavelength on periodontal tissues in the complex of standard treatment measures.
The results of the functional methods of research after the end of physical influence on periodontal tissues are confirmed by the decrease of bleeding and increase of oral hygiene level according to the clinical instrumental examination and by the absence of patient complaints. Thus, the clinical case demonstrates the promising application of vacuum-laser therapy in the complex treatment of chronic gingivitis.

Published: April 2024

ВACKGROUND: Modern scientific research continues to develop promising areas for diagnosing inflammatory complications after dental implantation. Analysis of studies shows that inflammatory complications depend on various factors, the establishment of which can be challenging. Hence, saliva diagnostics opens up broad prospects for studying the pathogenetic basis of the development of inflammatory processes.
АIM: To study in a comparative aspect the metabolic status of complicated and uncomplicated implantation.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study examined 88 patients (30 with peri-implant mucositis [main group I], 28 with uncomplicated implantation [comparison group II], and 30 controls [control group]) aged 45.3±2.4 years who were followed up for 1–3 years.
RESULTS: Based on the results of the studies and comparative analysis of complicated and uncomplicated implantation, previously unknown data on their distinctive metabolic characteristics were obtained and presented. With complicated implantation, these include a characteristic increase in C-reactive protein, iron, and uric acid and a decrease in calcium levels.
CONCLUSION: New information revealing prognostically significant factors of gastric cancer metabolism during complicated and uncomplicated implantation has been obtained. The identified changes in metabolism during implantation should be considered and differentiated from early metabolic signs of inflammation. The study of oral fluid is objective and promising in the diagnosis of the inflammatory process and its prognosis.

Authors: Serazetdinova Anastasia R. , Trunin Dmitry A. , Yeliseikina Elena V. , Zakharkin Ilya A.
Published: April 2024

BACKGROUND: This article discusses approaches to the diagnosis and treatment of glossitis caused by the herpes virus type IV using a local antiviral component (Epstein–Barr virus, EBV). The results of the clinical and laboratory picture of the disease in dynamics before and after treatment (3 and 6 months) were studied. Clinically significant results were obtained, confirming the effectiveness of the proposed treatment method.
AIM: To develop a highly effective protocol for the treatment of EBV-related glossitis.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Fifty patients aged 27–52 years diagnosed with EBV-related glossitis were examined. All patients underwent PCR diagnostics for HSV-1, HSV-2, EBV, CMV and herpes virus type 6 in saliva and EBV DNA in blood and serological examination for EBV antigens. An infectious disease specialist and local antiviral therapy, that is, appropriate gels/liniments, were included in the treatment for glossitis. Its clinical and laboratory efficacy was investigated 3 and 6 months after treatment.
RESULTS: EBV was detected in all the examined patients, at a concentration of 14000–1200000 mg/ml. HSV-2 and CMV were often detected in the participants of this study (up to 70%) at a concentration of 720–12000 mg/ml, along with a low detection rate of HSV-1 and HSV-6 in saliva (up to 7%, respectively) at a concentration of 540–820 mg/ml. The viral load of EBV in the blood was detected in 15.2% of the patients (0.6–3.4 Ig 105 copies/ml). Analysis of the ELISA results revealed Ig class G to NA, VCA, and EBNA antigens of EBV.
CONCLUSION: The use, along with a systemic, local antiviral component, is highly effective in the treatment of glossitis caused by EBV, including when EBV coexists with other types of herpes virus.

Authors: Soldatov Ivan K.
Published: April 2024

BACKGROUND: Currently, the Ministry of Defense of Russian Federation has 33 general educational institutions, with around 18,000 students who are part of the personnel reserve aimed at enhancing the country’s defense capability.
AIM: To evaluate the medical-statistical indicators of dental disease prevalence among students, which can be used to optimize dental care in the general educational institutions of the Ministry of Defense of Russian Federation.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: We analyzed the dental disease prevalence (ICD-10 codes K00–K14) among students from the academic years 2009/2010 to 2021/2022 using the reporting form 13K/MED approved by the Main Military Medical Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Russian Federation, as well as during annual medical examinations. The level of dental disease prevalence was calculated per mil (‰).The number of those in need of and sanitized children were calculated in percentages (%). The results were tested for the normal distribution of characteristics. The text includes the mean values and their errors.
RESULTS: The average annual level of total dental disease prevalence or incidence among students was 1687.9±16.0‰ and 563.4±12.2‰ for primary dental disease. This was significantly higher by an order of magnitude compared to previously examined conscripted military personnel, achieved through personalized approaches and strict medical-statistical accounting. No significant differences were observed in dental disease prevalence indicators among different age groups of students. A decrease in both total and primary dental disease prevalence rates has been observed in recent years. The average annual percentage of students requiring oral cavity sanitation was 40.9±1.2% and 75.4±1.8% of those who underwent sanitation. The proportion of sanitized students in the 16–18 age group was significantly higher than in younger age groups (p 0.001).
CONCLUSION: Medical-statistical indicators should be used to optimize dental care in the general educational institutions of the Ministry of Defense of Russian Federation.

Authors: Bukovskaya Julia A. , Chernykh Tatiana F. , Zharikov Mikhail V.
Published: April 2024

The loss of effectiveness of standard treatment methods and the increased risk of rapid spread of infections are serious consequences of this problem. This underscores the need to develop new approaches to combating pathogen resistance and ensuring effective control of infections. Studies of antimicrobial activity were conducted on strains of C. albicans, A. niger, and B. subtilis. The minimal fungicidal concentration was determined based on the growth of microorganisms C. albicans, A. niger on Sabouraud agar media containing different concentrations of a new substance – a derivative of thiadiazole. The sporicidal activity was determined by culturing the test culture B. subtilis in meat-peptone broth, followed by seeding on meat-peptone agar. Sporicidal activity was determined by inoculating the test culture of B. subtilis into meat-peptone broth, followed by plating on meat-peptone agar. Control assays were performed by inoculating the test cultures on corresponding media without the test substances. The new disinfectant – a derivative of thiadiazole – demonstrated high antimicrobial activity. The aim of this research was to study the new chemical substance for antimicrobial (antifungal and sporicidal) activity and the creation of new types of biocides. The studies showed that the minimum fungicidal concentration of the 0.3% solution in a 30% alcohol solution against C. albicans RCPGY401 was 1.56 ± 1.06 μg/mL, A. niger 137a – 1.56 ± 1.29 μg/mL. Furthermore, the material exhibited sporicidal activity against B. subtilis ATCC 10702, with an effective concentration of – 3.12 ± 1.34 μg/mL. The research confirms the activity of the new compound against the studied microorganisms and allows for its recommendation for further study (treatment regimens, safety, control methods, etc.) for use in veterinary practice for various treatment purposes.

Introducción: el soporte ventilatorio es considerado primordial para la insuficiencia respiratoria aguda. Comprender la relación entre el uso del alto flujo y el resultado en pacientes con enfermedad por COVID-19 es relevante ya que ha surgido como alternativa a la intubación orotraqueal. Objetivo: determinar el efecto de la cánula nasal de alto flujo en la estancia hospitalaria y la mortalidad de pacientes con infección por SARS-CoV-2 y falla respiratoria hipoxémica durante los años 2020 y 2021 en un hospital universitario nacional. Metodología: estudio de cohorte retrospectivo entre marzo 2020 y febrero 2021, de pacientes con neumonía grave por SARS-CoV-2 y falla ventilatoria. Se evaluó la cánula nasal de alto flujo comparado con ventilación mediante intubación orotraqueal utilizando un puntaje de propensión para estancia, mortalidad y desenlaces secundarios (Infección torrente sanguíneo, insuficiencia renal aguda, entre otros). Finalmente se evaluó mortalidad a 30 días y egreso con vida mediante modelo Poisson. Resultados: se analizaron 160 pacientes (40 con cánula y 120 con intubación orotraqueal), siendo hombres 66,9 % y edad promedio 63,8 años. Fallecieron 81 pacientes (50,6 %) en los primeros 30 días de hospitalización. Después de ajuste, no se encontró asociación con mortalidad (RTIa 1,13, IC 95 %: 0,93-1,38), pero sí con menor estancia hospitalaria, frecuencia de intubación orotraqueal e insuficiencia renal aguda. Conclusión: el grupo de pacientes que recibió cánula nasal de alto flujo mostró una menor frecuencia de ventilación mecánica invasiva, estancia hospitalaria e insuficiencia renal aguda no descrita previamente, aunque no se encontró reducción en mortalidad.

Integridad superficial en superficies cortadas por distintos métodos de corte
Authors: Coba-Salcedo Milton Fabian , Sorzano-Jimenez Francisco Jose , Peralta-Hernández Edwin Enrique
Published: April 2024

Al momento de seleccionar materiales se deben tomar diferentes decisiones para elegir el material adecuado según la aplicación, las propiedades del material determinan su uso final, en este contexto cuando se selecciona un material se debe considerar los diferentes procesos a los que será sometido antes de llegar a su aplicación final, porque estos procesos pueden provocar transformaciones en las diferentes propiedades. En el caso de los aceros se debe tener en cuenta si el elemento será sometido a algún tratamiento térmico, o el método con el que será cortado, ya que hay evidencia que este influye en las propiedades superficiales y microestructura del material. Este artículo describe el estudio que se realizó para analizar la dureza, la rugosidad y la microestructura del canal de corte en un acero ASTM-A36, en estado de suministro para tomar estos valores como referencia para los procedimientos posteriores. Se plantea cortar el material con métodos de corte usados convencionalmente en la industria metalmecánica y de la construcción, y también se cortan con otros procesos no convencionales usados en menor proporción en la industria. Se realizan cortes similares para mantener la homogeneidad de la prueba y analizar las caras del corte en cada probeta de manera similar. Se realizan los cortes a las probetas con los métodos de corte convencionales (fresadora, oxicorte y tronzadora) y los no convencionales (hilo por electroerosión y plasma), manteniendo en lo posible parámetros de corte y de trabajo similares. Posteriormente se analiza la superficie cortada –canal de corte- de cada una de las probetas midiendo dureza, rugosidad y tomando imagen microscópica de su microestructura. Estos ensayos permiten cuantificar los cambios que se presentan en el material dependiendo del método de corte usado y definir según cada método que tanto puede afectar la aplicación final del material. Al obtener los resultados se realizan graficas comparativas entre todos los métodos usados y se establecen las diferencias encontradas entre ellos. A partir de estos resultados y comparaciones se generan las conclusiones del estudio.

Authors: Davydenko Andrii , Glybovets Mykola
Published: April 2024

The article describes the architecture and technologies used to create a web-based distributed software development system with an emphasis on efficient and simple simultaneous grouped creation of program text, its editing, and debugging. The introduction of a modular architecture and a content storage mechanism ensured the coordinated functionality of the system components and effective support for consistency and non-blocking parallelism management. Since the system has a non-blocking property, the local response time is insensitive to network delays. The non-relational MongoDB database is used to save the changes made to the program code and to recover lost data in the event of a technical server failure.An important feature of the system is the use of a flexible modular architecture to support the effective use of third-party compilers and their integration with the web-based system for collaborative editing.To facilitate user communication, the system has a chat feature. A significant improvement is the support of separate editing sessions. A mechanism for prototyping client web applications has also been implemented, which allows web application developers to quickly check the correctness of the program code or web page layout and share it with other developers. It is for such cases that the new mechanism will come in handy.The areas of its application and further improvement are briefly presented. Further development of the system may include the study of the implementation of nonconflicting replicated data types (CRDTs) as an alternative to operational transformations to ensure data synchronization during collaborative editing.

Published: April 2024

The article analyses the image of Crimea in the essays of Lubko Deresh. The object of the study is the cycle of essays “Colonial Notes from Crimea” written by the authorin 2007. The cycle is based on travel essays written under the impression of Bakhchisarai and Yevpatoria. The work is replete with Turkisms, descriptions of Crimean landscapes, stories about exotic Crimean traditions, rituals, dishes, and advocates the followin gidea: none of the authorities truly understand the Crimean problems, and only the Tatars feel these problems best. The analysed essay, on the one hand, combines the landscape with these miotics of the chosen locus, and, on the other hand, supplies the field of creative consciousness with entire the matic
complexes of the author’s geopoetic vision. Despite the originality of Dereshiv’s vision in his descriptions of Yevpatorian landscapes and cultural monuments, it is obvious that the text uses certain literary clichésab out the Soviet footprint on this territory. The history and geography of Crimea became for Lubko Deresz the topic of geopoetic comprehension of this blessed place, as well as its comparison with his own, western land. For Lyubko Deresh, Crimea is not a place of Russian glory, which has been inspired in them indsof many readers forcenturies, but first of all the abode of the Crimean Tatars, their native land, their home. With his creative consciousness, the writer transforms the real geography of Crimea, creates a new mental object based on his private experience of staying there and establishing spiritual ties in the form of an essayistic vision and kinship. Liubko Deresh creates his myth of Crimea as an authentic territory of the Crimean Tatars, starting from the realities of the geographical space that opened up to him, and presents the reader with a geopoetic image of this territory in his individual authorial vision exclusively as the Crimean Tatarland.
DISCRETIONARY POWERS OF THE COMMERCIAL COURT IN APPLYING PRELIMINARY INJUNCTIONS
Authors: Kryvoruchko O. Yu.
Published: April 2024

The relevance of the topic under study is that the discretionary powers of the court in the context of the institution of temporary security do not have a clearly defined framework, and therefore are the subject of controversy both among scientists and in the legal community as a whole. The article highlights the problematic aspects of judicial discretion when deciding interim measures to secure a claim and evidence in commercial proceedings. The research draws logical parallels between the use of discretionary powers by commercial court judges and the observance of the rights of individuals to a fair and effective trial. The article analyses the current understanding of the court’s discretionary powers in the works of scholars and through the prism of judicial practice. The author provides examples of the limits and conditions for using court discretion using the provisions of the Code of Economic Procedure of Ukraine, which are established by the legislator using restrictions on the use of security in certain types of economic relations, and explains the logic of such prohibitions.
The study identified insufficiently researched gaps and required further elaboration, namely, the lack of clear boundaries for the commercial court when deciding on the preliminary injunction and the need to balance the interests of all parties. The article proposes a mechanism for narrowing judicial discretion through the prism of “legitimate purpose”, which should minimize the subjective influence of a judge on decision-making. The article offers an understanding of the legitimate purpose of interim measures in commercial litigation – as a unity of efficiency and proportionality criteria. We suggest that the parties should be allowed to propose their own interim measures to the court, taking into account the case’s specific circumstances. But, it is almost impossible to establish clear criteria for the potential danger a defendant may pose by his or her actions. Therefore the court must independently assess all risks and justify the need for such a decision as fully and clearly as possible for the parties.

Abstract: Web phishing is a persuasive and evolving cyber threat that poses significant risks to individuals, businesses, and organizations in the modern digital age. This paper aims to provide an overview of web phishing, focusing on its methods, detection techniques, and prevention. Phishing attacks occur when malicious actors use deceptive practices to trick people into divulging sensitive or classified information such as passwords, credit card details, or personal data. These attacks primarily manifest through emails, websites, or social engineering tactics. Phishing emails often impersonate trusted entities and lure recipients into clicking on malicious links or downloading harmful attachments. Web phishing involves using fraudulent websites that mimic legitimate ones to steal user information or deliver malware. Detecting web phishing attacks is an ongoing challenge due to the sophistication of attackers. Several detection techniques have been developed, including heuristic analysis, machine learning algorithms, and real-time URL analysis. These methods analyze various attributes of websites and emails to identify suspicious patterns or behaviors. Detecting web phishing is equally essential. Effective prevention strategies include user education and awareness programs, using two-factor authentication, regular software updates, and deploying advanced email filtering and anti-phishing tools. User training is crucial in helping individuals recognize phishing attempts and avoid falling victim to them.
