Authors: Samal Satyaranjan , Jena Shibanee , Mishra Jagarnnath , Nanda Prajna , Biswal Debadas
Published: July 2023

Introduction:

Cataract surgery is performed under peribulbar or retrobulbar block. Majority of the patients posted for cataract have some form of medical diseases like diabetes, hypertension, angina, ischaemic heart disease etc. Lidocaine and bupivacaine are the most commonly used local anesthetic for the block procedure. Here we compare the efficacy of peribulbar block in cataract surgery using the combination of 1:1 mixture of 2% lidocaine with 0.5% bupivacaine and 1:1 mixture of 2% lidocaine with 0.75% ropivacaine.

Materials and Methods:

It is a prospective, randomized, double blinded study including 60 patients were devided into two groups of 30 each, Group-R received 8 ml of 1:1 mixture of 4 ml of 2% lidocaine, 4 ml of 0.75% ropivacaine and 15 IU/ml of hyaluronidase and group-B received 8 ml of 1:1 mixture of 4 ml of 2% lidocaine, 4 ml of 0. 5% bubivacaineand 15 IU/ml of hyaluronidase. Peribulbar block was performed as per Bloomberg’s modification of the Davis and Mandel technique where 5 ml of local anesthetic was injected in the infero temporal region and 3 ml of drug was injected in the superi nasal area. Patients were assessed for sensory block, eyelid and occular movements at an interval of 2 minutes. Systolic, diastolic and mean arterial pressures, heart rate, oxygen saturation, ECG were monitored non invasively at 1,3,5,8,10,15 and then every 10 minutes till the end of the surgery.

Observation and Discussion:

Mean time for the onset of sensory blockade was 2.70 ± 6.5 minutes in Group B and 2.63 ± 0.57 minutes in group R with P-value 0.671, showing no significant difference in the onset of sensory blockade. Onset of motor blockade was 6.53 ± 1.81 minutes in group B, and 7.57 ± 1.46 minutes in the group R, the P-value being 0.018 was statistically significant. Regarding the duration of analgesia, our study showed mean time for analgesia lasted for 295 ± 54.63 minutes in group B and 414.67 ± 99.47 in group R with P value 0.001 showing statistically significant prolongation of duration of analgesia with group R. We observed a significant increase of mean IOP in bupivacaine group from 13.333 ± 1.582 mm Hg to 21.966 ± 2.697 mm Hg, whereas in ropivacaine group it increased from 12.766 ± 1.222 mm Hg to 13.0 ± 1.341 mm Hg after peribulbar anaesthesia.

Authors: Saluja Harish , Vinod Shah Seemit , Dadhich Anuj , Sachdeva Shivani
Published: July 2023

Introduction:

Oral cancer is one of the most common cancers not only in India but also in South Asia. Treatment of oral cancer is not only limited to cure but also requires good reconstruction of the surgical defects for a better quality of the life. There are many well-proven options for reconstruction purposes for the defects of the oral cavity including local regional flaps to microvascular-free flaps. After resections of mobile parts of the tongue (up to 50%) speech and swallowing are impaired significantly, however, even after sophisticated plastic reconstruction, serious swallowing and speech problems persist.

Material and Methods:

The pilot study was carried out after the allocation of fourteen patients with carcinoma of the tongue into two treatment test groups; the Radial forearm flap (RFF) and Infrahyoid neuromuscular flap (IHF) group to evaluate and compare the treatment outcome for reconstruction using two different treatment modalities. The pilot study was carried out after the allocation of fourteen patients with carcinoma of the tongue into two treatment test groups. the clinical parameters likewise swallowing reflex, speech analysis, donor site complication, time taken for the surgery, and cost-effectiveness of the flap was evaluated using IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows software, 20.0 (IBM Corp., Armonk, USA). The data were numerically coded and entered into the program. Both the descriptive statistics and the inferential statistics involving one-way ANOVA and Tukey’s Post Hoc test were analyzed to compare both intergroup and intragroup comparisons at different time intervals.

Results:

The swallowing and aspiration analysis showed a highly statistically significant difference at 3 months and 6 months by Post Hoc test between the groups. The speech analysis scores at all intervals were not statistically significant while for tongue movements the results were significant. The time taken and expenditure for surgery by IHF were less in comparison to RFF.

Conclusion:

The infrahyoid flap is a quick, easy, and reliable reconstructive method, which is cost-effective when used with knowledge of its clinical utility and limitations, the functional results are excellent with great patient satisfaction.

Published: July 2023

Alveolar bone and gingiva are components of the periodontium that house the tooth. It constantly adapts itself to the masticatory forces and position of the tooth. However, localized diseases like chronic periodontitis and certain systemic diseases destroy periodontal tissues, which include the alveolar bone. Various pharmacological agents are being explored for their pleiotropic properties to combat the destruction of alveolar bone. This review focuses on the role of pharmacological agents in alveolar bone regeneration.

Background:

Amid the health risk posed by coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, all the educational institutions in India have adopted online teaching as a method of imparting education. Thus, the current study was executed to evaluate the perception and preparedness of dental students toward online learning in dental education.

Materials and Methods:

The present cross-sectional study was conducted on 286 dental undergraduate (UG) and postgraduate (PG) students employing a pretested questionnaire. The questionnaire focused on technological access, computer and online skills, and motivational skills to use e-learning for educational purpose. The response scale for each domain was classified into low readiness level (mean value = 1–<3), acceptable/moderate readiness level (mean value = 3–<4), and high readiness level (mean value = 4–5).

Results:

The results showed a high level of computer (4.02 ± 0.73) and online skills (4.05 ± 0.70) and acceptable levels of technology access (3.62 ± 0.73) and motivational level (3.61 ± 0.82). There was a significant difference in computer (P = 0.017) and online skills (P = 0.044) among UG and PG students, with PG students reporting better soft skills. Majority of the students reported participating in online workshops (68.2%) and examinations (76.6%). Around 55.2% of the students reported a positive impact and 8% reported a very positive impact of online methods on their learning.

Conclusion:

Students showed a high level of readiness toward e-learning methods along with some difficulties faced during e-learning.

Authors: Agrawal Ashish , Kumar Vadivel , Pillai Ajit R
Published: July 2023

Purpose:

The study aimed to determine the muscle pattern of medial pterygoid, lateral pterygoid, and masseter (length, cross-section, and angulation) in adult non-orthodontic patients and its effect on craniofacial structures.

Methods:

The study was conducted from January 14, 2019 to January 14, 2020. Ethical clearance of this study was obtained from the ethical committee Ethical Clearance was obtained from Faculty of Dental Sciences, IMS, BHU, Institutional Ethical Committee with Ref no. Dean/2019/EC/1824 dated 23.04.2019 of the university. The sample size was estimated using the G-power statistical program. Power analysis indicated a minimum sample size of 27. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were set. Consent was taken from participants. Seventy-seven subjects who were willing to participate and have given written consent were enrolled for the study. Participants were sent for lateral cephalometry (Dolphin Cephalometric software) Dolphin Imaging and management solution, for 6 angular and 11 linear measurements. Nineteen subjects did not turn up for the scan. Twenty-eight participants underwent MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) to evaluate muscle patterns (masseter, medial, and lateral pterygoid). The intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC), Kolmogorov–Smirnov (KS) test, descriptive statistics, and multiple regression analysis were computed. The P value was set as ≤0.001(highly statistically significant) and ≤0.05 (significant relation).

Results:

There was a highly statistically significant (p ≤ 0.001) association between masseter length to upper facial height (N-Ans) and ramal length (Cd-Go). Length of medial pterygoid was significantly related (p ≤ 0.05) with SNB and length of body of mandible (Pog-Go). The cross-section of this muscle showed significant relation with upper facial height (N-Ans) and ramal length (Cd-Go). The correlation of the length of lateral pterygoid with upper facial height (N-Ans) and maxillary length (A-Ptm) was highly significant.

Conclusion:

The muscle pattern has a significant correlation with maxillofacial morphology. The masseter muscle is the longest and thickest (cross-section) and is angulated vertically than the other two muscles (medial pterygoid and lateral pterygoid). Of the three muscles, the medial pterygoid influences more common craniofacial parameters suggestive of its symbiotic activity. Lateral pterygoid affects the maxillary length and facial height.
Late patient-fitted total orbital reconstruction for facial gunshot wound sequelae
Authors: Pinto Leonardo A. P. F. , Lima Bernardo C. , Pinheiro Giulianna L. , Rodrigues Gustavo G. N.
Published: July 2023

Late reconstructions of gunshot wounds (GSWs) in the orbital area are a true challenge to the oral and maxillofacial surgeon. Usually, the wall defects are large in size and commonly present loss of orbital volume, which can cause ocular dystopia. The only exceptions are when there is an explosion of the orbital walls—that is, blow-out fractures. We encountered a patient with a two-year sequelae after GSW in the face that caused the destructed orbit to have a 2.5 bigger size than the contralateral orbit, requiring meticulous planning of a patient-specific implant (PSI) to correctly reconstruct the orbit volume and bone projection. The PSI was developed using titanium and it had three pieces that could reconstruct all four walls of the orbit. After surgery, the patient regained orbital volume and malar projection, allowing him to benefit from facial symmetry. The PSI can be used to reconstruct all the orbital walls in cases of complex bone defects.

Published: July 2023

Tras la guerra civil española, la difusión de la cultura a través de los medios de comunicación se vio cercenada: la actividad que antes del conflicto bélico se desarrolla tanto a través de la prensa escrita y de revistas especializadas deja de existir. Sólo en 1954 reaparecen las páginas de arte y literatura en la prensa tinerfeña, de la mano del grupo de intelectuales que en el decenio de los 30 fundara Gaceta de Arte; así, Domingo Pérez Minik y Pedro García Cabrera impulsan el nacimiento de Gaceta Semanal de las Artes en el vespertino "La Tarde". Este suplemento, con tres etapas diferenciadas en su dirección, se mantiene hasta 1968 como el único que se edita en los medios de comunicación de Tenerife, congregando a su alrededor a artistas, literatos e intelectuales de diversas generaciones y que sólo tenían en común su oposición al régimen de Franco.
Klotho: A new therapeutic target in diabetic retinopathy?
Authors: Puddu Alessandra , Maggi Davide Carlo
Published: July 2023

The prevalence of diabetes mellitus is increasing in resource limited settings. Simultaneously, there has been an increase in the number of novel therapies for the management of diabetes mellitus. However, use of novel antidiabetic therapies is limited because of major market access challenges in resource limited settings. Niching products to those patients with the highest absolute risk for major adverse cardiovascular outcomes, and thus most likely to benefit from the therapy, are less likely to have negative budget impact for funders. To improve access, and reduce morbidity and mortality, requires alignment amongst key stakeholders including patient advocacy groups, health care professional councils, national departments of health, the pharmaceutical industry, treasury and finance departments.

Published: July 2023

Alzheimer’s disease, which is the most common form of dementia, is known to be widely prevalent in the worldwide population, including Thailand. The incidence of this illness in Thailand is increasing rapidly and is expected to reach a million by 2030 (Doungkaew & Taneepanichskul, 2014). We are concerned that this rise is caused by the trend during these modern days, where skipping breakfast is becoming more popular due to time constraints. Hence, we conducted a survey research by providing questionnaires to 180 individuals of all ages across Bangkok, asking for their frequency in consuming breakfast per week and their likelihood in having Alzheimer’s. This was done through an online platform, Google Form. To test whether the two aforementioned variables are correlated with one another, Statistical Product and Service Solution (SPSS) program version 29 was used for data analysis. One-Way ANOVA (F-test) was used to determine the significance between age group and the risk of getting Alzheimer’s. The result showed that age is a significant factor which can promote the illness. Age 41 and above tend to have a stronger probability in developing the disease because of the easier spread of a protein called tau-protein, which is involved in causing Alzheimer’s disease (Wegmann et al., 2019). Pearson’s correlation test has shown that there is a negative correlation between the frequency of breakfast consumption and the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease. This is likely due to low blood sugar levels and lack of beneficial nutrients contained in breakfast . In the future, we hope that this research could be beneficial to other people by raising awareness on this particular topic regarding the importance of frequency of breakfast consumption in reducing the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease.

Parenteral nutrition plays a crucial role in the management of surgical patients who cannot receive sufficient nutrition orally or enterally. This review article analyzes the epidemiology, significance, theoretical framework, complications and discussion of parenteral nutrition in surgical patients. Total parenteral nutrition (TPN) is used to prevent malnutrition, improve wound healing and reduce complications. Complications include infections, electrolyte imbalances, metabolic disorders, and adverse reactions. The optimal duration, composition and personalization of nutritional therapy are debated topics. The importance of a thorough nutritional assessment and monitoring of possible metabolic changes is highlighted. In conclusion, parenteral nutrition is essential in surgical patients, but requires proper implementation and management. The individualization of therapy, nutritional composition and prevention of complications are crucial aspects to consider. More research is required to improve the safety and efficacy of parenteral nutrition in these patients.

Published: July 2023

The reality shows that SMEs producing animal feed always face the phenomenon of staff job-hopping, especially sales staff. This phenomenon influences quite a lot of the business activities of enterprises, such as losing connection with customers, reducing revenue, etc.This study was conducted to find out the reasons why salespeople do not want to establish long-term relationships with businesses. The research method is carried out through an online questionnaire survey and multivariate data analysis. The results of data analysis from 180 sales staff at SMEs producing animal feed in Vietnam on employees' turnover intention are influenced by five factors: (1) Salary, bonus, and benefits; (2) The influence of work on personal life; (3) Leadership behavior; (4) the nature of work; and (5) Working conditions and environment. In addition, age and gender are also factors affecting the turnover intention of employees. On that basis, the author of the article proposes recommendations to help SMEs producing animal feed in Vietnam have appropriate orientations and policies to retain employees and help businesses have stable human resources.

O estudo analisou a prevalência e fatores associados para a ocorrência de EA em três hospitais de Minas Gerais. Estudo quantitativo, transversal e retrospectivo, por meio da análise dos dados das fichas de notificação interna de EA, do período de 2013 a 2020, de três hospitais mineiros. A coleta de dados foi realizada entre 2019 e 2020, por meio de um questionário. As variáveis coletadas foram: ano de ocorrência do evento, motivo da notificação, turno de ocorrência, setor de ocorrência, profissional que executou, incidente associado, manifestações clínicas associadas, ações preventivas e tratamento, gravidade. Todas as informações compiladas foram integradas em um único banco de dados. Para a análise descritiva, as variáveis foram apresentadas como frequências absolutas e relativas. Os dados coletados foram armazenados em no Excel e posteriormente foram analisados pelo software IBM Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). Foi realizada estatística descritiva de frequência e proporção, e as associações estatísticas por meio do teste do Qui-quadrado de Pearson. Todos os aspectos éticos foram respeitados (CAAE 99312718.3.0000.5153). Encontrou-se 1154 EA. Os anos com maior prevalência foram 2015 (35,6%), 2016 (16,8%) e 2017 (16,2%). A maioria (74,5%) dos EA foi de gravidade leve e a principal causa foi o erro de medicação e fluidos endovenosos (21,8%). Foram considerados associados ao óbito os EA ocorridos em 2018 (p=0,010), em Unidades de Terapia Intensiva/Centros de Terapia Intensiva (p=0,009), em que os pacientes apresentaram parada cardiorrespiratória, taquipneia ou reação alérgica (p<0,001) e necessitaram de alguma intervenção associada à avaliação médica (p=0,039). A prevalência de EA foi alta, predominando erros de medicação e fluídos endovenosos. Os fatores associados foram ano de ocorrência, setor, manifestações clínicas, ações realizadas pela equipe e gravidade do evento. Destaca-se a não completude dos dados nas fichas de notificação, uma limitação do estudo. Importante a realização de capacitação sobre a importância da prevenção e notificação dos EA, de medidas de correções e padronizações, como parte da rotina dos serviços de saúde.

Comparação entre padrões de sutura longitudinal e transversal na ureterotomia microcirúrgica em coelhos
Authors:   , Maciel Thamara Lourdes Silva
Published: July 2023

As abordagens cirúrgicas ureterais como a ureterotomia, são tecnicamente exigentes e representam um desafio na Medicina Veterinária, especialmente em espécies de pequeno porte, nas quais o desenvolvimento de complicações pós-operatórias é frequente. A microcirurgia permite a execução de procedimentos precisos em estruturas anatômicas de pequenas dimensões, tornando-se uma opção benéfica para aprimorar os resultados de intervenções cirúrgicas ureterais. Assim, objetivou-se avaliar a eficácia e a segurança da técnica de ureterotomia microcirúrgica em coelhos (Oryctolagus cuniculus) como modelo experimental. Para isso, foi conduzido um ensaio clínico randomizado duplo cego com uma amostra de 31 coelhos adultos da raça Nova Zelândia, divididos em três grupos de tratamento: grupo controle (GC), grupo longitudinal (GL) e grupo transversal (GT). O GC foi submetido à técnica de celiotomia mediana, enquanto o GL e o GT foram submetidos à ureterotomia microcirúrgica com diferentes padrões de sutura. Foram realizadas avaliações pós- operatórias a curto (≤ 3 dias), a médio (4-30 dias) e a longo prazo (> 30 dias) para estimar a ocorrência de complicações, como uroabdômen, estenose e obstrução ureteral (OU). Essas avaliações incluíram exames de hemograma, perfil bioquímico, ultrassonografia abdominal, urografia excretora, análise de líquido abdominal e avaliação histopatológica de rins e ureteres, sendo realizados no pré-operatório e ao longo do pós-operatório (3º, 30º e 59º dias). Os dados foram avaliados por análise de variância, Teste de Tukey e teste de Freeman-Halton (P < 0,05), além de análise multivariada (P < 0,25). Os resultados revelaram completa cicatrização ureteral em GL e GT, com preservação da função dos rins e ureteres. Não foi verificada associação significativa entre os grupos e a ocorrência de uroabdômen e estenose. O GL e o GT apresentaram correlação significativa (P < 0,001) com o desenvolvimento transitório de OU parcial no pós-operatório a curto prazo em decorrência de reação inflamatória local. Os achados indicam que a ureterotomia microcirúrgica é segura e eficaz. Os padrões de sutura não influenciaram na ocorrência das complicações pós-operatórias. Palavras-chave: Fibrose.

Forces et faiblesses du protestantisme gallois (1840-1900)
Authors: Lloyd Geraint
Published: July 2023

À bien des égards, la seconde moitié du xixe siècle fut un âge d’or pour le protestantisme gallois. La croissance de ses différentes branches pendant plusieurs siècles se poursuivit sans s’arrêter tout au long de cette période, à travers de nombreux réveils. La force du protestantisme gallois fut consolidée dans la seconde moitié du siècle par le renforcement des structures et des institutions confessionnelles et une presse galloise florissante. De même, une grande vitalité spirituelle apparut dans les diverses activités missionnaires, tant dans le pays qu’à l’étranger. Cependant, cette image de prospérité était trompeuse car un énorme changement culturel, social, intellectuel et religieux minait les vieilles certitudes et rendait l’avenir plus troublant.

Published: July 2023

O artigo discute a atual situação da licenciatura em psicologia a fim de descortinar os desafios e condições de possibilidade para a docência em psicologia na Educação Básica. Toma-se como contexto de estudo a atual Resolução CNE/CES nº 5/2011 que propõe a formação de professores de psicologia para Educação Básica. A metodologia empregada foi a de análise exploratória e descritiva do banco de dados da Sinopse Estatística da Educação Superior – Censo da Educação Superior (INEP/MEC). Os dados analisados foram: quantidade de cursos por habilitação; categoria administrativa de instituições ofertantes; e número de matrículas/conclusões em cursos de licenciatura em psicologia. A partir de recentes pesquisas sobre a crise da profissão docente no país concluiu-se que habilitação de bacharelado mantem hegemonia em detrimento da licenciatura em psicologia como resultado de um projeto formativo de ciência psicológica calcada no modelo de profissional liberal/biomédico.

The industrial revolution provides opportunities in changing people's lives from agrarian economic activities to industrial-based economies so that many people massively carried out the phenomenon of migration. The impact of industry causes a vulnerable area in climate change which is currently increasingly large in intensity. This research used a qualitative research method with a descriptive approach.  The type of data used in this study was obtained from secondary data, namely literature studies in the form of books, articles and other sources of information.  Industrial areas are potential locations of UHI effects despite having a relatively lower population. Its change land cover affect surface temperature increases and humidity decreases.  Building materials absorb solar heat, and release it at night so that the environment in the industrial area felt warm. For the industrial area, it is better to be given green vegetation around the region to reduce the occurrence of UHI so that it creates a comfortable life.
