Abstract: Malocclusion can trigger various health problems in the oral cavity. The simplest form of malocclusion is individual dental malposition which can be corrected by removable orthodontic appliances with active components T-springs made of 0.5 mm or 0.6 mm wire dimensions. This study was aimed to compare the effectiveness of the T-spring with wire dimensions of 0.5 mm and of 0.6 mm on the correction of individual dental malpositions. This was a pre-experimental study using a one-shot case study design. Study samples were divided into two groups, T-spring with wire dimensions of 0.5 mm and of 0.6 mm on removable orthodontic appliances attached to typodonts. The samples were activated, and the typodonts were immersed in warm water until the individual tooth malpositions were corrected. The number of activations and the average tooth movement each time the activation were calculated and analyzed. The numbers of T-spring activations with 0.5 mm and 0.6 mm wire dimensions were analyzed with the Mann-Whitney test that showed a p-value of 0.042 (p<0.05). The data of the mean tooth movement each time the T-spring was activated were analyzed with the independent sample t-test that obtained a p value of 0.016 (p<0.05). In conclusion, the T-spring with wire dimension of 0.5 mm is more effective in correcting individual dental malpositions than the T-Spring with wire dimensions of 0.6 mm.Keywords: tooth malposition; removable orthodontics; effectiveness of T-spring Abstrak: Maloklusi dapat memicu berbagai masalah kesehatan pada rongga mulut.

Múltiple y diverso, el pensamiento latinoamericano abre sendas, atraviesa obstáculos y avanza con firmeza. Se detiene y proyecta, como hace el viajero que visualiza a la distancia su objetivo; a veces avanza en círculos y duda de la dirección a la que se dirige, pero halla su norte más tarde o más temprano. Ni la maleza, ni las dificultades de quien explora, ni el tupido follaje que parece nublarle por momentos la vista y el juicio, podrían detenerlo. No hay mapa alguno, pero existe brújula. Tiene claro su destino, aunque no haya certeza de su llegada. No se sabe cuándo, ni cómo, ni por dónde. Lo que ahora importa, sin embargo, es su proceso, el camino mismo que, en un caso como éste (el de pueblos, naciones y países de una o de otra manera dependientes), no puede ser otro que el camino complejo y contradictorio de la liberación. Tal es el carácter de un pensar situado, abierto al mundo, pero también consciente del preciso lugar que en él ocupa. Si existe entonces el pensamiento latinoamericano, existe sólo como pensamiento de liberación del cual, desde luego, se desprenden todas sus distintas configuraciones (aunque no todas y no siempre bien logradas).

El manejo del paciente pediátrico con falla respiratoria (FR) en las unidades de cuidados intensivos requiere de manejo especializado, y un soporte ventilatorio oportuno que permita el mejoramiento y la estabilización de la función pulmonar mediante la presión positiva generada por la ventilación mecánica invasiva. Los modos ventilatorios convencionales permiten el apoyo respiratorio mediante la aplicación de presiones elevadas en la vía aérea, lo cual permite la generación de volúmenes corrientes (Vt) logrando así un apropiado intercambio gaseoso. Es importante anotar que la ventilación convencional debido a las presiones generadas en la vía aérea lesionan el pulmón y pueden estar asociadas a Vt o presiones altas. En la actualidad el manejo de la ventilación mecánica está encaminada a disminuir la lesión pulmonar siendo la ventilación de alta frecuencia un modo no convencional que ayuda a disminuir la lesión pulmonar en los pacientes con FR.

Dengue infection, an arthropod-borne viral hemorrhagic fever, continues to be a major challenge to public health,
especially in South-East Asia. It has a wide geographical distribution and can present with a diverse clinical spectrum. The
liver dysfunction could be a direct viral effect or an adverse consequence of dysregulated host immune response against the virus. Hepatic
involvement can be characterized by manifestations of acute hepatitis, with pain in the right hypochondrium, hepatomegaly, jaundice, and raised
aminotransferase levels. Several outbreaks of dengue infection have been reported from India. However, large clinical studies documenting
hepatic involvement in dengue infection, especially in adults, are scarce.

Ameloblastoma is a type of Odontogenic tumor, commonly encountered in orofacial region. It is very aggressive in nature
with potential features of recurrence. Ki -67 is already a proven proliferative marker, which is used in our study to assess
the proliferative potentiality of Ameloblastoma. Incisional biopsy was done from 10 cases of Ameloblastoma and 5 normal cases as control, at the
department of Oral pathology and Microbiology, BIDSH, Patna. Each specimen was processed and two sections were prepared and stained with
hematoxylin and eosin and Ki-67 immunohistochemical marker. Positive stained cells with with Ki-67 in ameloblastoma along with normal
epithelium were counted from four randomly selected areas and were quantied using a microscope at 400x magnication. Positive correlation
seen with Ki-67 positive cells and percentages, which indicates the value of one variable increases, the other also increases. The overall conclusion
is that Ki-67 expression can be used as a prognostic marker in Ameloblastoma.

Authors: Devadason J Ahikam , Bhuvaneswari M.
Published: August 2021

An antibiogram is a periodic summary of antimicrobial susceptibilities of local bacterial isolates submitted to the
hospital's microbiology lab. An audit was undertaken in a secondary hospital from South India to create a hospital
antibiogram from culture reports for the period December 2019-July 2020. A total of 167 positive cultures were isolated. The commonest isolate
was Escherichia coli (n=66), followed by Staphylococcus aureus (n=31). From the formulated antibiogram, Amikacin is a good rst-line
antibiotic for the treatment of urinary tract infection. Also, 52% of S. aureus organisms are resistant to methicillin (MRSA- Methicillin resistant
Staphylococcus aureus). The antibiotic resistance noted on the antibiogram is a grim reminder to judiciously use our antibiotics.

“RESPIRATORY VIRAL INFECTION: AN UNDERRATED ENTITY THAT NEED TO CONSIDER IN MANAGEMENT OF ACUTE EXACERBATION OF COPD”
Authors: Meena Gyan Singh , M S Ajith Kumar , Sharma Shashank , Agnihotri SP
Published: August 2021

BACKGROUND: Acute exacerbation of COPD (AECOPD) is one of the most common cause of hospital admission. It
causes signicant morbidity, mortality and inexorable decline in ling function. Many exacerbations are believed to be due
to upper and/ lower respiratory tract viral infections, but the incidence of these infections in patients with COPD is still undetermined. Objectives
of the study are-(a) To nd out the viral etiology in patients having acute exacerbation of COPD. (b) To correlate the severity of COPD patients
having exacerbations with viral etiology.
METHODS: This cross-sectional study was carried out on 70 AECOPD patients admitted in department of Respiratory Medicine, Institute of
Respiratory Diseases, SMS Medical College, Jaipur during July 2019–June 2020. Demographic and clinical parameters were recorded from
each patient during admission. Twin nasopharyngeal/oropharyngeal swabs were collected and are tested for Respiratory viruses via RT-PCR.
RESULTS: Respiratory viruses were detected in 15 of 70 (21.42%) patients during exacerbations of COPD. The viruses detected were
inuenza (10%), rhinovirus (5.71%), adenovirus (4.29%) and RSV (1.42%). Majority of the patients had exacerbations in severe COPD
subgroup, had duration of hospital stay of more than or equal to 5 days, had one episode of acute exacerbation per year and 5, 9, 11 respiratory
viruses were detected in this group respectively.
CONCLUSION: Viral infections seem to contribute to the exacerbations of COPD in our settings and should be strongly considered in the
management of such patients. Considering appropriate antiviral therapy can timely reduce morbidity in an event of an inuenza viral
exacerbation.

Published: August 2021

Introduction: Noise has become a very important stress factor in the environment. Drivers are the most commonly
affected persons due to trafc noise. The majority of drivers remain unaware about noise induced hearing loss as this is an
insidious process, leading to temporary or permanent hearing impairment, but preventable. Pure Tone audiometric test is used to determine the
degree of hearing loss in noise exposed individuals.
Aim & Objective: To nd the hearing threshold levels for high and mid frequency sounds for both ears in Professional drivers. To evaluate the
preponderance of hearing loss between right and left ear using hearing thresholds.
Materials & Methods: This study was conducted in 100 Professional male drivers aged between 30-40 years who are working in Tamil Nadu
State Transport Corporation, Madurai. Pure tone audiometry was used to measure the high and mid frequency hearing threshold levels in both
ears.
Results: The mean (SD) hearing threshold for high and mid frequency sounds was signicantly higher in left ear comparative to right ear with P
value < 0.05. The statistically signicant difference in hearing loss was observed between both ears.
Conclusion : Our study showed statistically signicant higher hearing threshold for high and mid frequency sounds in left ear compared to right
ear, that concludes left ear is more prone for hearing loss than the right ear

Authors: Jacob Vatakencherry Rose Mary , Bhadra R , B Niharika , Marwaha Vishal , M Anusree
Published: August 2021

BACKGROUND: Anyone whose eating behaviours tend to cause disruptions and inconveniences in their day-to-day
life could possibly have an eating disorder (ED). The coronavirus pandemic and the ensuing lockdown resulted in young
people being conned to their homes for months on end. This may have led to the adoption of unhealthy eating behaviours and the consequent
development of eating disorders.
The objective of this study is to assess the prevalence of eating disorders among healthcare students of South India during the COVID-19
pandemic lockdown.
METHODS This study was conducted for a period of two weeks among healthcare students of South India during the COVID-19 lockdown.
The study tools were two pretested and self-administered questionnaires. Analysis was done using IBM Statistics 25 and SPSS.
RESULTS The total number of respondents whose SCOFF score was greater than or equal to 2 is 367 (38.3%), which indicates possible cases of
anorexia or bulimia.
The total number of respondents whose EAT-26 score is higher than 20 in this study are 153 (14.3%), which indicates that they must be referred to
a qualied professional to determine if they meet the diagnostic criteria for an eating disorder.
This indicates that there was an increased prevalence of eating disorders in the students during the pandemic lockdown.
CONCLUSIONS As expected, there was denitely an increased prevalence of eating disorders among the students during the COVID-19
lockdown. Awareness about these disorders must be created via seminars, webinars and workshops.

Published: August 2021

Background:Current pandemic caused by Novel coronavirus (COVID-19) causes clinical symptoms from fever to acute
respiratory distress syndrome but may remain mild or asymptomatic. To evaluate the cumulative prevalence of SARSCoV-2 infection in a community and know how immune response develops in the population, reliable assay alongwith RT-PCR for detection of
SARS-CoV 2 antibodies is needed. Healthcare workers (HCWs) represent a high-risk populat - ion for infection with SARS-CoV-2.
Methods: We evaluated total antibodies recognizing the SARS CoV 2 receptor binding domain (S1-RBD) - - - or the Spike protein over a period of
six months in a total of 310 healthcare workers engaged in hospital using SARS-CoV-2 Total antibody assay kit.
Findings: The overall seroprevalence found in our analysis was 41.93%. In case of males the percentage positive was found to be signicantly
higher at 43.91%, compared to females at 36.25%. Seroprevalence was signicantly higher in 50 years above age group in comparison to 20-50
years old aged healthcare workers. The seroprevalence was higher in doctors, nursing staff and lab technicians than other healthcare
professionals as 44.6%.
Conclusions: This study showed high seroprevalence of SARS-CoV-2 in healthcare workers which means remaining proportion of the
healthcare workers are still susceptible to the infection. Good compliance to infection eradication and control measures, adequate PPEs, and
early detection and isolation of healthcare workers infected with SARS-CoV-2 are mandatory to reduce the risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Abstract Population is growing every year. This has an impact on the reduction of agricultural land to cultivate crops. This study aims to combine a concept that aims to expand the benefits of continuously connected internet connectivity. Based on the long term, the narrowing of agricultural land will have an impact on the scarcity of hydroponic NFT (Nutrient Film Technique) is a model of cultivation by putting the roots of plants in a shallow layer of water. The water is circulated and contains nutrients according to the needs of plants. This study combines hydroponic plants with the help of Internet of Things (IoT) technology using hydroponic planting techniques. Rooting can develop in a nutrient solution, because around rooting there is a layer of nutrient solution then the system is known as NFT. Excess water reduces the amount of oxygen and dissolved nutrients. The use of a manual measuring instrument is actually time-consuming if the owner is busy. Based on this background, the author got the idea to create a system of monitoring water quality and nutrients in hydroponic plants that can be accessed through a mobile phone.

Heart failure is promoted by the imbalance of sympathovagal, which increased sympathetic and decreased parasympathetic activity. BAT, an electrical stimulation technology, cause the baroreflex to be activated and balances the sympathovagal. Systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted, including published reports about the effectiveness of BAT in heart failure patients from PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, and Google Scholar to calculate the pooled standard mean difference and 95% confidence interval (95% CI) using either random or fixed effect model. Our search strategy identified 161 possible studies. Thirteen studies have been included as a full-text review. We excluded seven of these papers due to review, and our analysis has included six papers. Our combined analysis has shown that BAT is associated with an improvement in NYHA class compared to control (0.19[95%CI: 0.11-0.31], p = 0.000). Our pooled analysis also found that BAT, compared to control, was associated with 6-MHWD improvement, (-136.25[95%CI: -181.34 - -91.17], p = 0.000). Our pooled analysis also found that BAT, compared to control, was associated with HF hospitalization (-6.38[95%CI: -8.46 - -4.30], p = 0.000). BAT has a significant effect on improving NYHA Class, 6-minute hall walk distance, and decreasing HF patient's hospitalization days. Meanwhile, there is an insignificancy on LVEF and QoL improvement in HF patients. Future studies are still needed.
