The article presents a solution for the development of an automated functional testing system for the electronic services portal. The proposed solution takes into account the features of the architecture of the electronic services portal and integrated information systems with it. To obtain the result, methods of emulating the actions of real users of the electronic services portal and methods of organizing work with automated tests, checkers, user accounts were used. The implementation of the functionality of the schedule and queue of automated test launches is presented. The implementation of the functional testing component is supplemented with a description of the process of creating new automated tests. Using the automated functional testing system, the operator of the electronic services portal will be able to carry out this process as often as it deems necessary. Verification of the obtained development results was achieved by presenting the structure and content of the screen forms of the system interface. The practical significance of the results lies in the fact that an approach has been proposed to create simple and cost-effective methods for conducting functional testing of electronic portals, with the help of which system users, including those who do not have special programming skills, will be able to create automated tests and update existing automated test scripts. To ensure these capabilities, the article presents solutions for creating a pseudo-language and an interpreter for it. All the solutions presented are scalable and can be used when working with other electronic portals.

Authors: Andaish Mr. Qiamuddin , Vansiya Dr.Yogesh N. , Assadi Mr. Sakhibakhsh
Published: April 2023

In this study, we will examine how foreign aid has affected the human development indexes of Asian countries. The HDI and its three indicators—the income, health, and education indices—have been employed for this purpose. While studying data across 34 Asian nations between 2000 and 2019, we used the quantile regression approach. Our findings indicate that foreign aid and human development in Asian countries are positively correlated and that this correlation is especially strong in those with low human development indices. In the meantime, statistical analysis reveals a positive correlation between foreign aid and HDI and its three indicators: income, health, and education. In conclusion, our results indicate that foreign aid has a favorable effect on the HDI, income index, health index, and education index. As a result, the HDI is the most comprehensive metric for gauging each country's progress toward human development. Consequently, our findings show that foreign aid is necessary for enhancing human development.

The purpose of this research is to provide a quick explanation of what rumours are in broadcasting and how media outlets utilise false information and fake news to further various causes, ideologies, and political agendas.
IMPLICATIONS OF HEALTH PROMOTION ON HOLISTIC HEALTH IN INDIA
Authors: Bhardwaj Ruby
Published: April 2023

Based on the responses of lay participants, this micro-level qualitative study explores the reasons for the rising health consciousness among the lay populace in urban India. Health promotive behaviour reflects the negotiations of the individuals in fortifying their bodies against health risks prevalent in the modern society. These goals were also compatible with the pursuit of healthy and fit bodies as fashion. Health promotive behaviour is both an end in itself and a means to an end. The paper examines the rationale of the lay persons in actively furthering and improving their health. Further, it investigates implications of such behaviour in creating a demand for holistic health systems. The study illustrates that lay conception of health impacts both the health behaviour and medical choices that guarantee fortification of health and attainment of wellness. The participants admitted that cultivation and preservation of health weighed heavily on their minds. A number of reasons were elicited to explain this phenomenon that included rising incidence of disease and the lack of familial support to the elderly. The lay reasoning provided a deep insights into the range of factors that impinge on health behaviour. The burgeoning definition of health along with commitment to personal responsibility for health, together create a surge for holistic health services for they are compatible with attainment of the goals of wellness. The sociological factors that trigger health promotive behaviour generate debates on medicalization and de-medicalization of everyday life.
THE IMPACT OF CODE-SWITCHING AND CODE-MIXING AMONG YOUNGSTERS IN LOTHA NAGA COMMUNITY: A CASE STUDY
Authors: Chamundeshwari Dr. C. , Jami Janthunglo
Published: April 2023

The study examines the influence of code-switching and code-mixing by the young people of Lotha community. Language has a massive influence over people with the way they speak and express themselves while communicating. This study investigates how code-switching and code-mixing result in poor communication and weak vocabulary. The theoretical framework explored the theories of bilingualism, language acquisition, the concept of code-switching and code-mixing, and the reason for code-switching and code-mixing. The study found that code-switching and code-mixing contribute to the failure of the young people of Lotha community in learning Lotha language. The research has employed a qualitative approach for collecting the data by describing the techniques and methods used in the study. Overall, 20 interviews were conducted. The use of Nagamese and English languages while communicating results in poor communication limiting their efforts to learn and practice Lotha language. The study shows that most of the interviewees applied using English and Nagamese language while speaking which shows their inability to express words in Lotha and their lack of confidence in Lotha language. Code-switching and code-mixing of the language help them to express and communicate without any limitations. The findings discuss the ways and reasons for code-switching and code-mixing indicating the influence of language on young people.
AN ANALYSIS OF BEHAVIORAL BIASES AGAINST VARIOUS PARAMETERS
Authors: Parmar Ms. Jayshree Waghela , Bootwala Dr. Ismail
Published: April 2023

Behavioral finance attempts to question the efficiency of the financial market. Several anomalies of human behavior are considered as interfering factors while investors make a financial decision, which leads to the criticism of the rationality of investors. Considerable evidence has been provided by psychologists and behavioral economists which demonstrates that investors are exposed to psychological and behavioral biases. Additionally, investors resort to shortcuts during the process of decision-making, and are affected by their past investment profits or losses. They make decisions within a framework of preference, and are influenced by the investment patterns of other investors. This study examines the relationship between behavioral heuristics and biases such as overconfidence, self-attribution, and availability biases and parameters such as age, gender, profession, and income of investors.

Published: April 2023

Indian airports are not just limited to the business of flying passengers. After the takeover by private operators Airport infrastructure in India has changed drastically. They are matching the standards of global airports. Along with this airports are being promoted as key retail hubs. There has been a big revamp in most of the airports at metropolitan cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore etc. The key focus is on making airports more lively and vibrant instead of uninteresting place for passengers. The transformation of dull airports into fascinating shopping lounges has happened due to privatization of airports. The gloomy airport retail areas have been replaced with wonderful retail shops, show cases and boutiques. Moreover,people with high disposable incomes frequently visiting airports promises impressive growth in airport retailing. Few years back Indian airports were considered for doing only duty free shopping of liquor, foreign chocolates, perfumes, cosmetics etc but at present this fact no more holds true as at present traveler every need and want is determined well in advance and airport retailers grabs upon every opportunity to provide delightful shopping experience

Published: April 2023

Low-energy cosmic rays (<1 TeV) are a pivotal source of ionization of the interstellar medium, where they play a central role in determining the gas chemical composition and drastically influence the formation of stars and planets. Over the past few decades, H3
+ absorption line observations in diffuse clouds have provided reliable estimates of the cosmic-ray ionization rate relative to H2 (

Multithermal Jet Formation Triggered by Flux Emergence
Authors: Li Xiaohong , Keppens Rony , Zhou Yuhao
Published: April 2023

Flux emergence is responsible for various solar eruptions. Combining observation and simulations, we investigate the influence of flux emergence at one footpoint of an arcade on coronal rain as well as induced eruptions. The emergence changes the pressure in the loops, and the internal coronal rain all moves to the other side. The emerging flux reconnects with the overlying magnetic field, forming a current sheet and magnetic islands. The plasma is ejected outwards and heated, forming a cool jet ∼6000 K and a hot X-ray jet ∼4 million Kelvin (MK) simultaneously. The jet dynamical properties agree very well between observation and simulation. In the simulation, the jet also displays transverse oscillations with a period of 8 minutes, in a so-called whiplike motion. The movement of the jet and dense plasmoids changes the configuration of the local magnetic field, facilitating the occurrence of the Kelvin–Helmholtz instability, and vortex-like structures form at the boundary of the jet. Our simulation clearly demonstrates the effect of emergence on coronal rain, the dynamical details of reconnecting plasmoid chains, the formation of multithermal jets, and the cycling of cool mass between the chromosphere and the corona.
The role of cardiac surgery in the treatment of acute coronary syndrome with stelevation
Authors: Kyuchukov D.
Published: April 2023

Percutaneous coronary revascularization of the „culprit“ lesion is the most contemporary method of treating patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) of all forms. In the management of acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), cardiac surgery remains, in most cases, a third option following PCI and thrombolysis, nevertheless serves an important role in a select subgroups of patients. This review will discuss current indications and potentiality of cardiac surgery in the treatment of patients with STEMI.
Acute myocardial infarction – a historical review
Authors: Gotcheva N.
Published: April 2023

The last 120 years have witnessed famous physicians and pathologists connected their medical investigation to study pathophysiology, diagnostics and treatment of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Modern treatment algorithms based on precise and refi ned new technologies have as a main target to achieve rapid reperfusion and salvage threatened myocardium in order to enhance patients’ recovery and also to decrease mortality rate. Although long-lasting and multiple studies appeared to have impressive results, there still exist unknown or disputable viewpoints/concepts concerning for example the appearance of the reperfusion injuries, left ventricular remodeling, AMI in patients with normal coronary arteries, identifi cation of vulnerable lesions or plaques which are threatened by rupture or fi ssuring. This short historical review is aimed to remind us the evolution of the AMI knowledge and also to pull out some of the forgotten but relevant milestone hypothesis, as well as to help shaping the modern management of AMI.

Published: April 2023

Age is an important non-modifi able risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Both European and American guidelines recommend offering an invasive reperfusion strategy in elderly patients with ACS, taking into account the patients‘ comorbidities and baseline level of functioning. Materials and methods: All patients over 80 years of age with acute coronary syndrome, treated in the Department of Invasive Cardiology of the National Heart Hospital for the period between January 1, 2016. and December 31, 2018, are retrospectively analyzed. The primary endpoint was defi ned as all-cause mortality during the hospital stay and at follow-up. Predictors of mortality were assessed and independent predictors were identifi ed. Results: During the study period, 179 patients aged 80 years or older were identifi ed as being treated for ACS with PCI. In the study population, in hospital mortality for the index event was 11.8%. At a mean follow-up time of 20.19 ± 11.9 months, mortality rose signifi cantly to 64.6%. When evaluating in-hospital mortality on multivariate analysis, the two independent predictors were Cardiogenic shock (HR 0.005, 95% CI 0.01–0.44; p < 0.001) and acute/exacerbated renal failure (0.986 95% CI 0.984-0.997; p = 0.015). Conclusion: The present study provides important information regarding characteristics and outcomes in very elderly patients undergoing PCI for ACS. In the future, this subset of patients is predicted to grow, meaning that their approach must be evidence-based to ensure safe and effective treatment options.

Introduction: COVID-19 pandemic has led to a signifi cant change in the incidence and prognosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) by indirect and direct mechanisms. Aim: To assess the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the incidence and prognosis of AMI. Material and methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of consecutive patients with AMI (STEMI and NSTEMI) during two time periods – the complete lockdown in Bulgaria and one of the waves of the pandemic. We compared patients’ risk profi le, index event, investigations and treatment to a control group from the pre-pandemic period. Results: During the fi rst period we included 52 patients with AMI without COVID-19 and compared them to a control group of 66 patients. We found a decrease primarily in the number of patients with STEMI. The scores for assessing diseaseseverity (GRACE, APACHE II, SOFA) were higher in 2020 compared to the pre-pandemic period. More patients presented with acute congestive heart failure, mortality was similar. During the second period we included 83 patients, 21 of them with COVID-19 infection. System delay was increased in all patients. Disease severity scores and baseline troponin were higher especially in the COVID-19 group. In-hospital mortality was substantially higher in patients with COVID-19 compared to controls (23,8% versus 9%, р = 0,0375), probably due to increased incidence of cardiogenic shock and need for mechanical ventilation. Conclusion: During the complete lockdown there was a reduction in the number of patients admitted with AMI, higher incidence of acute congestive heart failure and similar mortality. During one of the waves of the pandemic we found a signifi cant increase in system delay, not exceeding the recommended time frame of 120 minutes, and in disease severity in all patients. Concomitant COVID-19 infection was associated with higher in-hospital mortality due to increased incidence of cardiogenic shock and need for mechanical ventilation.

Authors: García-Monge Alfonso , Rodríguez-Navarro Henar , Marbán José-María
Published: April 2023

Wireless electroencephalography (EEG) devices allow for recordings in contexts outside the laboratory. However, many details must be considered for their use. In this research, using a case study with a group of third-grade primary school students, we aim to show some of the potentialities and limitations of research with these devices in educational settings. Several balances are apparent in the development of these experiences: between the interests and possibilities of the research teams and the educational communities; between the distortion of life in the classrooms and the opportunities for collaboration between academia and practice; and between the budget and the ease of preparing the equipment and the usefulness of the collected data. Among their potentialities is the knowledge that they allow access to different cognitive and emotional processes, and the learning opportunity represented by the links between researchers and educational communities. Life in the classrooms is interrupted by these types of experiences, but this can be a cost that facilitates more integrated future developments that benefit teaching and learning processes.

Los nuevos dispositivos de electroencefalografía (EEG) inalámbricos permiten realizar registros en contextos fuera del laboratorio. Sin embargo, para su utilización hay que tener en cuenta muchos detalles. En este trabajo, a partir de un estudio de caso instrumental con un grupo de escolares de tercer curso de Educación Primaria, se pretende mostrar algunas potencialidades y limitaciones de la investigación con estos dispositivos en contextos educativos. Se aprecian varios equilibrios en el desarrollo de estas experiencias: entre los intereses y posibilidades de los equipos de investigación y las comunidades educativas; entre la distorsión de la vida en las aulas y las oportunidades de la colaboración entre la academia y la práctica; y entre el presupuesto y la facilidad de preparación de los equipos y la utilidad de los datos recogidos. Entre sus potencialidades encontramos el conocimiento al que permiten acceder sobre diferentes procesos cognitivos y emocionales, y la oportunidad de aprendizaje que suponen los nexos entre investigadores y comunidades educativas. La vida en las aulas se ve interrumpida por este tipo de experiencias, pero ello puede suponer un coste que facilite desarrollos futuros más integrados que beneficien los procesos de enseñanza y aprendizaje.
Parents' meta-reflexivity benefits media education of children
Authors: Golob Tea , Makarovič Matej , Rek Mateja
Published: April 2023

The paper explores the effects of the sociological concept of reflexivity to parents’ media education of preschool children. It draws upon the recommendations of the American Academy of Paediatrics referring to the restrictions of screen exposure based on different age groups, coviewing and discussing media content. It applies a social survey on the Slovenian national sample of parents to (1) review their media education practices, (2) identify the factors affecting these practices through regression analyses and (3) use path analysis to provide an explanatory model of the factors affecting children’s screen exposure. A Reflexivity Measurement Tool is applied to assess the parents’ meta-reflexivity scores. The hypothesis that meta-reflexivity is one of the key factors affecting media education is confirmed. The results show differences in screen exposure between age groups and higher exposure of boys when compared to girls. Children of the divorced/separated parents are more exposed to screens. Setting restrictions is quite common but it is also the quality of media content and the interaction with children that matters. Meta-reflexivity not only decreases the quantity of screen exposure. but it also makes coviewing and discussing media content with children more likely. Moreover, the significance of parents as role models is confirmed.

El artículo explora los efectos del concepto sociológico de la reflexividad en la educación mediática de los padres en niños preescolares. Se basa en las recomendaciones de la Academia Estadounidense de Pediatría que se refieren a las restricciones de exposición a las pantallas en función de los diferentes grupos de edad, la visualización conjunta y la discusión del contenido de los medios de comunicación. Aplica una encuesta social a la muestra nacional eslovena de padres para: revisar sus prácticas de educación en los medios de comunicación; identificar los factores que afectan estas prácticas a través de análisis de regresión; y utilizar el análisis de ruta para proporcionar un modelo explicativo de los factores que afectan la exposición a las pantallas de los niños. La herramienta de medición de reflexividad se aplica para evaluar las puntuaciones de meta-reflexividad de los padres. Se confirma la hipótesis de que la meta-reflexividad es uno de los factores clave que afectan a la educación en los medios de comunicación. Los hijos de padres divorciados/separados están más expuestos a las pantallas. Establecer restricciones es bastante común, pero también es importante la calidad del contenido de los medios y la interacción con los niños. La meta-reflexividad no solo disminuye la cantidad de exposición a las pantallas, sino que también hace que sea más probable que los niños vean y discutan en conjunto el contenido multimedia.

Prediction of hearing preservation after acoustic neuroma surgery based on SMOTE-XGBoost
Authors: Yang Cenyi
Published: April 2023

Prior to the surgical removal of an acoustic neuroma, the majority of patients anticipate that their hearing will be preserved to the greatest possible extent following surgery. This paper proposes a postoperative hearing preservation prediction model for the characteristics of class-imbalanced hospital real data based on the extreme gradient boost tree (XGBoost). In order to eliminate sample imbalance, the synthetic minority oversampling technique (SMOTE) is applied to increase the number of underclass samples in the data. Multiple machine learning models are also used for the accurate prediction of surgical hearing preservation in acoustic neuroma patients. In comparison to research results from existing literature, the experimental results found the model proposed in this paper to be superior. In summary, the method this paper proposes can make a significant contribution to the development of personalized preoperative diagnosis and treatment plans for patients, leading to effective judgment for the hearing retention of patients with acoustic neuroma following surgery, a simplified long medical treatment process and saved medical resources.
Quand l’art rend la parole au peuple :« Rescate por la memoria » ou la voix et la mémoire du peuple péruvien
Authors: André Nelly
Published: April 2023

Le conflit que le Pérou connut entre 1980 et 2000 a laissé des traces dans les corps et dans les cœurs. Il est une présence latente dont les effets se font encore sentir aujourd’hui, une référence omniprésente à l’heure de proposer des mesures politiques et de faire un bilan social. Les discussions sur le devoir de mémoire ont surgi après la publication en 2003 du rapport final de la Commission de vérité et de réconciliation (CVR). Plusieurs projets artistiques ont ainsi vu le jour. L’Art, la culture ont alors ouvert des portes, offert de nouvelles possibilités puisque les projets de mémoire sont des actions de réparation et d’apprentissage collectifs. Révéler un pan de l’histoire passée sous silence, sauver la mémoire des invisibles, des populations marginalisées devient alors primordial. En 2005, le devoir de mémoire a ainsi vu naître un site de conscience, le mémorial « El Ojo que llora ». Des collectifs se mobilisent également pour faire entendre la voix du peuple. En 2004, par exemple, le collectif Yuyarisun realisa un concours intitulé « rescate por la memoria » dans la région d’Ayacucho afin d’offrir un espace d’expression aux personnes de tous âges et de tous sexes et leurs rendre leurs voix. Par le biais de différents moyens artistiques (contes, poésies, chants, bandes dessinées, etc.), ils ont révélé leurs perceptions du processus de vérité, justice, réparation et réconciliation, les expériences traumatisantes vécues par ces communautés durant cette époque de violence politique (1980-1992) que ni les Forces Armées ni Le Sentier Lumineux ne reconnaissaient comme des personnes de plein droit. Les travaux du muraliste Olfer Leonardo, et notamment la série « Huanta: murales por la memoria y la verdad histórica » en sont un autre exemple. Cet art de masse exposé dans l’espace public visibilise les voix marginalisées.

Published: April 2023

Tourism today is in a critical crossroad, not only due of the changes on the structure of the tourist industry where the focus has shifted from mass tourism to alternative tourism, but also the question on how the tourist industry will cope with the case of the Covid-19 crisis. Still, the tourist industry does not know what the future of the sector can be. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to investigate and make suggestions on how the future will shape sustainable tourism. This is a literature review in an ongoing phenomenon which is the Covid-19 pandemic. Hence, this chapter will rely on both the existing literature review and on published scientific papers. Nonetheless, it is crucial to refer to the fact that there is a lack of research on this issue. For this reason, the authors will expand their research on articles and reports published on the internet so to have the latest updates on this issue.

The events of the last days after the invasion of Russia by the Russian troops raise concerns not only about the humanitarian crisis that Ukraine and Europe are facing, but also about the preservation and preservation of the Ukrainian cultural heritage. Thousands of museums across Ukraine store important works of art by Ukrainian and Russian artists; Byzantine artefacts; and paintings, among others by Bellini, Goya, and David; according to a report by the Indian Express. In Ukraine there are seven UNESCO World Heritage Sites. As a result, UNESCO asks for implementation of international humanitarian law, notably the 1954 Hague Convention for the Protection of Cultural Property in the Event of Armed Conflict, and its two (1954 and 1999) Protocols, to ensure the prevention of damage to cultural heritage in all its forms.
Boutique Hotel by HCH
Authors: Vlami Aimilia
Published: April 2023

This chapter examines the purpose and effectiveness of a new tourism trademark, the “Boutique hotel” project, which has been designed and implemented by the Hellenic Chamber of Hotels. The scope is to encapsulate the efforts of the last five years to lay the institutional groundwork for a professionally operated accommodation system of boutique hotels, a relatively new form of accommodation in Greece. This chapter will analyse the goals, terms, and conditions for defining this tourism brand and its operating system. Also, it examines in detail the structural characteristics of boutique hotels in Greece, as they resulted from a survey of the 178 hotels that had received this certification. Boutique hotels in Greece are a successful example of the resilience of hospitality businesses during the periods of both the financial crisis and, subsequently, of the COVID-19 pandemic, given that the very nature of their services and products, enables them to immediately respond and adapt to new situations and cater for evolving consumer needs, ultimately striving for survival and for the return to a new reality of sustainable tourism development.
Analyzing and Managing Microaggressions in the Workplace in the Context of the United States
Authors: Johnson Natasha N. , Johnson Thaddeus L.
Published: April 2023

Microaggressions are brief, intended or unintended, commonplace verbal, behavioral, or environmental indignities that communicate derogatory, hostile, or negative insults and slights toward people who do not classify within the 'normative' standard. Those who microaggress are often unaware that they engage in such communications when they interact with people who differ from themselves. In the workforce, these interchanges are exacerbated, as issues regarding implicit biases tend to play themselves out in communal settings. In response to this, the discussion of microaggressions in its numerous forms, coupled with its manifestations in the workplace, adds to the growing knowledge base on aversive behavior and its short- and long-term impacts. The authors begin by investigating the residual effects of everyday “isms” on the work productivity and quality of life of those on the receiving end. They conclude with suggestions for institutional-level education, training, and research—specific to organizational settings—in the effort to reduce microaggressions in the professional environment.
Cultivating Heart-Centered Connections
Authors: Elliott Niki
Published: April 2023

This chapter introduces the Heart-Centered Connections (HCC) Facilitator Training, which was developed as a non-degree certificate training offered through the LaFetra College of Education at the University of La Verne. In partnership with Peace4Kids, a local nonprofit, 15 adults who experienced ACEs and toxic stress or had lived experience in foster care participated in an intensive 6-month process. They learned to use mind-body awareness practices to explore how their work as helping professionals has been influenced by their own personal history of trauma or toxic stress. Through participating in the training, these trauma-resilient advocates were prepared to return to their communities to support educators and other child-serving professionals to embody heart-centered practices in their work with children from marginalized populations. The author outlines the core components of the training model and uses qualitative data to offer recommendations for offering similar polyvagal-informed training to all adults who work with children whose lives have been impacted by trauma.

Wine Packaging, Distribution, and Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Authors: Bole Dhruv Kishore
Published: April 2023

Wine packaging and distribution are the two biggest contributors to greenhouse gas emissions in the wine supply chain, hastening climate change and jeopardizing the industry's survival. In response to its commitment to decarbonize the sector by 2050, the packaging and logistics industry has been working to develop resources that are both environmentally friendly and economically viable. However, their progress has been slowed by a lack of industry-wide collaboration. Though it has resulted in the development of more environmentally friendly resources, they all have their own carbon footprint. Furthermore, implementation challenges are preventing their widespread adoption, resulting in a failure to further reduce industry's greenhouse gas emissions. This chapter investigates implementation challenges associated with existing and developing resources. The author emphasizes the importance of industry collaboration in developing truly environmentally friendly resources, as well as resolving implementation challenges with existing materials and resources.
Wineries, Vineyards, Breweries, Cruise Ships, and Resorts Need a Chief Public Health Officer
Authors: Zanganeh Kiana S. , Burrell Darrell Norman
Published: April 2023

Wineries in the United States must adhere to many regulations when selling wine, including those regarding food safety according to U.S. Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA). The U.S. federal government has deemed workers in the food and agricultural sectors an essential part of the country's national infrastructure. In the United States, 3.4 million people work in food production businesses. While most of the food production employees are White (51%), Hispanic workers (34%) comprise more than twice as many food manufacturing employees equated to their share of all workers (17%). These statistics stress the organizational and community value of having a prominent public health professional in organizations to create holistic corporate public health strategies that protect the employees and the communities they inhabit. With emergence of food poisoning outbreaks and the COVID-19 pandemic, the need for a Chief Public Health Officer in wineries, vineyards, and other food/beverage service businesses has never been more critical.

Authors: Singh Mahinder , Singh Barjinder , Jha Jyotsna , Passi Deepak , Sharma Abhimanyu , Goyal Jyoti
Published: April 2023

Aim:

The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy, stability, and clinical outcomes of a bioresorbable plating system in the treatment of pediatric maxillary fractures.

Materials and Methods:

Twenty pediatric patients with maxillary fractures (13 males and 7 females) were included in this study. The 1.5- and 2.0-mm resorbable plates were used and secured with monocortical resorbable screws 6 mm and 7 mm in length. All patients were followed up for 6 months. Clinical parameters, such as pain, swelling, soft-tissue infection, malocclusion, nerve injury, and bite force for stability, were prospectively assessed.

Results:

Fall from height (50%) was the most common cause of etiology, followed by road traffic accidents (35%). Maxillary alveolar # (40) was the most common fracture site, followed by nasal complex # (25%) and zygomatic complex # (25%). Appropriate fixation and adequate primary bone healing was achieved in 100% of the cases. Few minor complications were observed: (1) soft-tissue infection (5%) and (2) paresthesia (10%). There was a significant increase in bite force in the incisor and molar regions. Observation in clinical parameters shows that there was a significant reduction in postoperative pain and swelling at different follow-up periods.

Conclusion:

Bioresorbable plating system is used as a load-sharing plate in a semirigid fixation technique after anatomic fracture reduction. Although its high costs limit its feasibility for use low infection rates, minimized second surgery for implant removal attracts its use. 1.5- and 2-mm resorbable plating system along is a good treatment modality for moderately displaced maxillary fractures in pediatric patients. Larger sample size and longer follow-up studies are required for conclusive results.
