Authors: Parnaadji Rahardyan , Naini Amiyatun , Soesetijo FX Ady , Kristiana Dewi
Published: August 2024

Thermoplastic nylon as a denture base requires mechanical cleaning with denture paste. Previous research showed that tobacco leaf extract paste (TLEP) 25% was fungistatic on thermoplastic nylon denture bases. The aim is to evaluate the roughness and colour changes of thermoplastic nylon against tobacco leaf extract paste 25% during one year of simulated use. This research hypothesizes that thermoplastic nylon's roughness and colour value will decrease further after brushing using 25% TLEP. Sample groups include brushing without paste, paste without TLEP 25% and TLEP 25%. The sample size for each group was 15 samples; measurements use a surface roughness tester and a colour reader. Brushing was carried out for 23.5 minutes on a plate measuring 60x10x2.5 mm as a surface roughness test and 3.90 minutes on a plate measuring 10x10x2.5 mm as a colour change test. The sample size for each group was 15 samples; measurements use a surface roughness tester and a colour reader. The research results were tested using Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Levene and One-way ANOVA with a significance level of 0.05. There were no differences in surface roughness and colour changes on thermoplastic nylon plates after brushing with 25% TLEP (p>0.05). This study concluded that 25% TLEP did not affect increasing surface roughness and changing the colour of thermoplastic nylon plates with values below the threshold.

Meningioma Detection and Characterization Using Brain MR Imaging: A Case Study
Authors: Pahlivi Riza , Abimanyu Bagus , Jannah Marichatul
Published: August 2024

Meningiomas commonly manifest as granulations, dense clusters exhibiting hyperintense signals on the meningeal layers and close to cranial nerves. Detailed and isotropic imaging are key in the diagnostic evaluation. Nevertheless, standard MRI sequences have been inadequate in capturing these granulations, incorporating the T2 3D CISS axial sequence for improved visualization. Our case study aims to meticulously evaluate the diagnostic imaging strategies used for meningioma cases, explicitly focusing on cranial nerve imaging. The MRI protocol encompassed axial, coronal, and sagittal T2_TSE and DWI sequences and post-contrast T1-weighted imaging. A detailed calibration of the 3D CISS sequence parameters was performed to enhance the imaging of cranial nerves affected by the suspected meningioma. Our findings highlight the necessity of a meticulous MRI protocol, which includes precise imaging sequences, to evaluate meningiomas effectively, particularly for assessing the potential involvement of the cranial nerves.

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of the administration processed tempe gembus on lipid profiles in obese women. This study was pre-post randomized control group design. Forty-four pre-menopausal women with obesity, dyslipidaemia took part in this study, divided into 2 groups, includes the intervention group and the control group. The Intervention group received 150 gram of processed tempe gembus for 28 days. Statistical analysis independent sample test or Mann Witney were used to analyse differences pre and post-lipid profile between intervention and control group.Â Â  Consumption of 150 g/day of processed tempe gembus for 28 days reduced total cholesterol levels by 13.4 mg/dl (p = 0.012), HDL cholesterol by 2.8 mg/dl (p = 0.082), LDL cholesterol by 17.6 mg/dl (p = 0.52) and triglyceride levels of 5.3 mg/dl (p = 0.05), respectively. There was significant effect of processed tempe gembus consumption to reduce total cholesterol, and triglycerides. Unfortunately, there were no effect on LDL and HDL cholesterol.
Evaluation of Unexplained Bone Fractures in a 3-Month-Old Infant – A Case Report
Authors: Ngo Hannah , Cohen Rachel Silliman
Published: August 2024

Child physical abuse is a significant cause of injury in infants and young children and can present in a variety of ways. Failure to recognize abuse in infants and young children can be life-threatening and is often recurrent until safety interventions occur. Consequently, it is of paramount importance that providers strongly consider child physical abuse on the differential, along with metabolic bone disease and accidental traumatic injury, when evaluating fractures in young children and infants. This case report will focus on the evaluation of a 3-month-old male infant who was admitted to the hospital with irritability and decreased right arm movement. Multiple unexplained bone fractures were found on skeletal survey, which led to concerns for suspected child abuse and the infant underwent a comprehensive medical evaluation by child abuse pediatricians. Ultimately, it was ruled that the infant’s numerous injuries were most consistent with a medical diagnosis of child physical abuse.

Acinetobacter baumannii, a Gram-negative, nosocomial, opportunistic pathogen is commonly infectious in immunocompromised patients. More specifically patients develop healthcare-associated infections (HAI) spanning beyond sepsis, pneumonia, meningitis, and urinary tract infections. Due to its rapid ability to acquire antibiotic resistance, it has raised the necessity to discern a novel therapeutic treatment that can be effectively used against the multidrug resistant (MDR) A. baumannii. Cooper University Hospital (CUH) faced an increased case load of patients that were infected with MDR A. baumannii. The patient isolates obtained from CUH were highly resistant to the 22 standard-of-care antibiotics. With the recent introduction of novel antibiotics released onto the market, the possibility of antimicrobial synergism between old and new drugs was tested. We tested to see if drug synergy existed between levofloxacin and cefepime, and levofloxacin and amikacin. We also studied the potency and potential synergism of the newer drug cefiderocol in combination with the 22 standard-of-care antibiotics. Levofloxacin and amikacin showed limited efficacy as a drug combination making it an ineffective option in a clinical setting. However, levofloxacin and cefepime showed promise as an effective therapeutic combination. Experimental studies with cefiderocol showed contamination, requiring future evaluation with cefiderocol. We plan to further explore the drug combination levofloxacin and cefepime against other patient isolates in the collection. Obtaining useful dual antibiotic therapies can provide clinicians with an immediate resource to help treat patients with highly drug-resistant A. baumannii infections.
Effect of Dosage on Severity of Dysphagia in a Toxicological Rat Model of Parkinson's Disease

Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is a prevalent and devastating neurodegenerative disorder that causes progressively worsening motor symptoms affecting locomotor and oropharyngeal function. There is limited research in animal models on swallowing dysfunction in PD. To examine how neurodegeneration in PD produces progressive impairment in the oropharyngeal and locomotor processes, rotenone, a type II mitochondrial inhibitor, was injected into Lewis rat models to reproduce a parkinsonian phenotype. We hypothesized that the animal models injected with the rotenone will exhibit both oropharyngeal dysfunction and locomotor deficiency with an increased deficit that correlates with prolonged treatment. We utilized 18 rats receiving either 2.75 mg/kg of rotenone or vehicle intraperitoneal injections. Animals received daily injections for 17 or 8 days. At the end of the injections in each group brains were perfused and immunostained for striatal tyrosine hydroxylase (TH). Videofluoroscopic recording was taken of these rats and average chew cycle length and total chewing time data were collected from days 0, 1, 4, 7 and 16 of those recordings. From these recordings the number of chewing cycles prior to a swallow were counted, total time chewing was measured, and average duration of a chewing cycle was calculated. The number of rears by a rat in a glass cylinder over 4 minutes was counted on the same days to assess locomotor behavior. Total chewing time and average chew cycle duration increased in rotenone treated rats from day 0 to day 4, but the difference disappeared from day 7 onwards. However, rearing behavior was consistently reduced in rotenone treated rats for all 16 days. Tyrosine hydroxylase staining intensity in the striatum decreased consistently over the course of the injections. These results suggest that rotenone treated rats have temporary/short term deficiency in chewing function. The restoration of function after day 4 may indicate a learned behavior to compensate for this dysfunction in chewing, or point to a different neurological impairment than that seen in locomotor behavior. Further research needs to be undertaken to address this phenomenon.
Determinants of Vaccine Hesitancy Among Parents and Caregivers

Published: August 2024

•Vaccination efforts in the United States and globally are one of the largest contributors to pediatric preventative health •Routine immunizations in the U.S for children ≤ 10 years old cover 14 vaccine-preventable diseases. As a result, an estimated 732,000 deaths, 21 million hospitalizations, and 322 diagnosed cases of diseases have been prevented between 1993 and 2013. •Vaccines remain a point of contention with pediatricians and their patients' caregivers •Many parents maintain hesitancy to give vaccines; to a number of reasons. Perceived risk and fear of side effects from vaccines more than the disease itself, can cause out-of-proportion concern •Misinformation spread through the media as well as social media platforms can contribute to hesitancy seen during the COVID-19 vaccination efforts
Evaluating C-Reactive Protein Associated Risk of Cardiovascular Disease in Patients with Autism Spectrum Disorder
Authors: Cunha Brandon , Iannuzzelli Andrea , Mehra Rohan
Published: August 2024

This study examines the relationship between C-reactive protein (CRP) levels and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in 293 patients with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) from the Rowan-Virtua Regional Integrated Special Needs Center (RISN Center). Baseline CRP values were gathered from EMR and evaluated for CVD risk. ASD patients have increased prevalence of CVD risk factors, and the literature demonstrates a strong relationship between CRP and CVD risk in this population. Patients were stratified by severity of ASD to investigate potential differences. Severe limitations in EMR data and overall sample size limited the generalizability and significance of this study. Larger scale studies with ample serum CRP values are needed to adequately assess CVD risk in the RISN Center’s ASD patient population. Regular monitoring and evaluation of CRP levels in ASD patients could lead to better management of cardiovascular health in patients with ASD.
Evaluating the Prevalence of Postpartum Substance Use in South Jersey

Published: August 2024

The goal of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of substance use among women who experience postpartum depression. Looking at South Jersey women in particular, we aimed to compare the rates of women who began to engage in substance use after undergoing labor within the past one year who are covered by private health insurance versus those with Medicaid coverage. A retrospective chart review was performed, and although the small sample size limited our attempts at data analysis, it revealed that there is work to be done in this field. There needs to be methods in reducing the stigma for postpartum women in seeking care and allowing them to have appropriate support from their physicians in their postpartum period.
