Authors: Kwak Sang Won , Kim Hyeon-Cheol
Published: August 2024

Objectives: This study aimed to compare the postoperative pain and clinical performance after partial pulpotomy by using ProRoot MTA and Endocem MTA. Materials and Methods: Twenty-eight teeth requiring partial pulpotomy due to deep dental caries or traumatic injury were included in this study. After 2mm removal of exposed pulp and bleeding control, the ProRoot MTA or Endocem MTA was randomly adjusted to the exposed site. 1, 2, 4, and 12 weeks after the final restoration, the patients were recalled to check the postoperative pain or another unfavorable signs. Pearson's chi-square test was used for statistical analysis to evaluate any differences among tested materials. Results: 3 of 28 teeth showed postoperative pain and cold positive during follow-up period (10.7%). There were no statistically differences in pain occurrence between two tested materials (P > 0.05). Conclusions: In the limitations of this study, partial pulpotomy by using Endocem MTA showed the advantages of short setting time and lower postoperative pain incidence, allowing one visit treatment.

However, due to the overlapping of anatomical structures, diagnostic capability of panoramic radiography is limited. Recently, panoramic machine equipped with various image processing software has been introduced to improve the diagnostic capability. This study aims to introduce panoramic equipment with multi-layer imaging software that can provide 41 images from anterior to posterior in region of interest, and to report in various clinical applications.
Antrolith on CBCT and panoramic radiographic image ; case report
Authors: Han Won-Jeong
Published: August 2024

Antrolith occurs within the maxillary sinuses and is circumscribed pathologic calcifications formed as a result of mineral salt deposition around an organic nucleus in the maxillary sinus. Radiographically, this lesion is a radiopaque mass showing variable sizes and shapes. Treatment by surgical removal is indicated only for large antrolith associated to clinical symptoms. CBCT should be required for treatment planning for implant-supported restorations in the maxilla because of the higher prevalence of anatomical variations and sinus disease. We report a 3 cases of antrolith which was found incidentally on panoramic images and CBCT, although there were no clinical symptoms.

Published: August 2024

Orthognathic surgery is designed to correct problems of the jaw and face and restore facial harmony. The limitations of orthognathic surgery occur at all steps of the surgical workflow: preoperative planning, simulation, and operation. Many studies have shown the accuracy and advantages of 3 dimensional computer-assisted program for orthognathic surgery. The purpose of this paper is to introduce the accuracy of the maxillary repositioning in patients who underwent orthognathic surgery using a 3 dimensional computer assisted surgery program. The reliability of computer guided orthognathic surgery using splint and surgical guide need to be improved further. The 3 dimensional computer assisted analysis seems to be more precise to interpret than two-dimensional analysis. High-precision planning of orthognathic surgery has predictable results. Three-dimensional computer assisted orthognathic surgery has the following advantages : planned surgical movement is possible, splints guide with CAD/CAM technology; and increase predictable results .Computer assisted simulation surgery ensures accuracy during surgery, thereby facilitating predictable results. It may provide solution that enables surgeon to perform planned surgery more accurately.
Bulk-fill composites
Authors: Koh Kyeol , Park Jeong-Won
Published: August 2024

Composite resin restorations in posterior teeth are increasing due to the aesthetic needs of patients and the development of materials. This trend will accelerate in line with domestic insurance policies. However, resin composites generate stresses due to their contraction during the polymerization process. To reduce the polymerization shrinkage stress of resin composites, incremental layering technique has been recommended for decades. This technique reduces stress at the cavity wall interface and allows a more efficient light curing of the material. Bulk-fill resin composites have been designed to simplify the restorative technique because they can be placed into cavities in a single increment of 4-5mm. The simplification of the operative procedures is desirable in clinical daily practice. In this context, bulk-fill resin composites are an attractive alternative for posterior restorations. However, a clearer understanding of the clinical performance of this relatively new class of materials in comparison to conventional resin composites is required. Based on previous studies, the aim of the current review was to present the clinical criteria for the use of bulk-fill composites in direct restorations of posterior teeth.
Surgical treatment for the obstructive sleep apnea : A review
Authors: Kim Weon Jae , Kwon Yong Dae
Published: August 2024

Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is characterized by obstructive events of the upper airway (UAW) during sleep, which can be associated with clinical signs and symptoms such as snoring, excessive daytime sleepiness, impaired memory, and fatigue. It is associated with many problems like psychosocial problems, physiologic alterations in the cardiovascular and respiratory systems as a result of hypoxia and repeated awakenings during sleep. Conservative treatments such as weight loss, sleep positioning, improvement of sleep hygiene, CPAP and MAD can be performed for the obstructive sleep apnea. However, their effect for the OSA is limited and differs by patient's individual properties. Accordingly, surgical reconstructions of the upper airway must be carried out for the treatment of OSA.
Cone Beam Computed Tomography in Endodontics
Authors: Jo Hyoung-Hoon
Published: August 2024

The most important part of everyday root canal treatment is diagnosis about the morphology of tooth, root and root canal. Usually this procedure is performed by visual examination and radiographic (panoramic/periapical) examination. However, 2-dimentional radiography has several limitations such as imposition of anatomic structures including buccal/lingual root canals and distortion of images. Recently, owing to the increased interest in dental implant and affordable cost of CBCT equipment, CBCT has been introduced widely in local dental clinics. CBCT is characterized by their lower radiation dose and shorter exposure time than conventional CT scan, and ability of 3-dimentional reconstruction of the dento-alveolar structure. Also in endodontic field, the data from CBCT could be very helpful in diagnosing complex root canal anatomy, apical periodontitis, cause of failure and in determining treatment plan. However, there are some limitations such as radiation dose and artifact. Therefore, clinicians should know about indication, advantages and limitations of CBCT, and properly use it for successful root canal treatment to save the natural teeth.
Early Diagnosis and Proper Treatment of Cracked tooth
Authors: Kim Sin-Young
Published: August 2024

A cracked tooth is defined as an incomplete fracture initiated from the crown and extending subgingivally and usually directed mesiodistally. Cracked teeth were most frequently involved in mandibular and maxillary molars at the age of 50s. Cracks occurred mainly in nonbonded restorations such as gold and amalgam, and majority of cracks were found in intact teeth. A pulpal and periapical diagnosis is dependent on the extent of the crack and duration of the symptom. The pulp of a cracked tooth might become inflamed because of microleakage, which induces thermal sensitivity. Once the crack has extended and exposed the pulp, severe pulp and periapical pathosis will likely be present. In addition, the extended crack can cause a bony dehiscence with a resulting narrow and deep periodontal pocket. Therefore, early diagnosis of the cracked tooth and proper treatment planning are important for clinician.
Use of Intraoral Scanners for Fabricating Fixed Restoration: Clinical Tips
Authors: Yoon Hyung-In
Published: August 2024

With the advances of CAD-CAM (computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing) technology, the field of modern clinical dentistry has been dramatically changed. The first step in the digital workflow for tooth-supported dental prosthesis is a data acquisition with intraoral digital or conventional impression techniques. For the accuracy of intraoral digital impression data, the basic principles of conventional impression should be applied. It is necessary to obtain a good visibility with properly-dried field and well-exposed margin of the prepared abutment. Currently, the equi- or supra-gingival finish line can be recommended as an indication for intraoral digital impression. The scan data are generally exported to '.stl' file format, which has only morphological information of black and whitem while '.obj' file format can store data on color and texture.

Published: August 2024

As a dentist, we should be prepared for emergencies that can occur at any time in dental practice. In addition, we must be able to provide first aid to patients with the latest knowledge when an emergency actually occurs. It has been revised every five years since the American Heart Association published advanced cardiovascular life support (ACLS) guidelines. The current final guideline is the 2015 version. It is expected that the 2020 version will be released around the winter of 2020. Therefore, at this point, the latest version (2015 ver.) will be important. Many changes were made from 1995 to 2015. I would like to summarize the parts of the revised parts that remain important.

Published: August 2024

In the anterior maxillary area, dental implants for tooth replacement are challenging due to the need to satisfy high esthetic level as well as functionality. Immediate implant placement and provisionalization can dramatically reduce the edentulous period, and then fulfill patient's demand for esthetics. The aim of present case report is to demonstrate two cases that successfully restored single tooth with immediate implant placement and provisionalization in the anterior maxillary area. A 47 years old female was scheduled to replace her maxillary right central incisor due to crown-root fracture by trauma. Another 54-year-old female was planned to place dental implant following tooth extraction of maxillary right lateral incisor owing to continuous pus discharge despite repetitive treatments including apicoectomy. In these two cases, surgical and prosthetic procedures progressed in a similar way. After minimal flap elevation, atraumatic tooth extraction was performed. Implant was placed in proper 3-dimensional position and angulation with primary stability. Bone graft or guided bone regeneration for peri-implant bone defect was conducted simultaneously. Provisionalization without occlusal loading was carried out at the same day. Each definitive crown was delivered at 7 and 5 months after the surgery. Two cases have been followed uneventfully for 2 to 5 years of loading time. In conclusion, Immediate implant placement and provisionalization could lead to esthetic outcome for single tooth replacement with dental implant under proper case selection.

Authors: Kim Byoung-hwa , Lee Je-woo , Ra Ji-young
Published: August 2024

The purpose of this study was to investigate the principal reasons for primary teeth extractions and the tooth type extracted in children. 1159 patients were selected in this study. Dental records and radiographs were reviewed and age, gender, medical history, type of tooth extracted and the reasons for extraction were collected. The data were statistically analyzed using Chi-square test. Total 2078 primary teeth were extracted. Central incisors(34.1%) were most frequently extracted. Extractions due to physiological mobility(77.5%) were the most frequent followed by caries(13.8%), orthodontic(3.9%), trauma(1.7%). Reason for the extraction was different according to age (p = 0.000), but there was no difference according to gender (p = 0.109). While extractions due to physiological mobility predominated overall, reason for extraction was different according to the tooth type. There was no previous treatment in 54.6% of primary teeth extracted due to caries. Excluded physiological mobility, caries are the most common reason for extraction of primary teeth. The importance of preventive care should be emphasized in order to preserve primary teeth and improve children's oral health.

Authors: Yun Soo-mi , Ra Ji-young , Lee Je-woo
Published: August 2024

Odontogenic anomalies can occur as a result of conjoining defects. These include fusion, gemination and concrescence. The presence of fused teeth can lead to various clinical problems, including the aplasia of permanent successor, the supernumerary teeth and delayed eruption of permanent teeth. In general, the supernumerary teeth associated with fusion is mainly found in the maxillary anterior region. This report describes rare cases of supernumerary tooth associated with fused teeth of mandibular primary lateral incisor and canine. In the first case, fused teeth was extracted. The supernumerary teeth was erupted at canine space. The second case is still being observed. Extraction of fused teeth and observation of supernumerary teeth is planned.

Published: August 2024

This study reports the unusual complications of 22-year-old male who presented with sudden hearing loss after the right mandibular third molar extraction under local anesthesia with 3.6 ml of 2 % lidocaine. Total 8.75 mg of oral dexamethasone for 1 week immediately after extraction was prescribed in department of oral and maxillofacial surgery but hearing did not improve after 1 week. As referral to otolaryngology, total 600 mg of oral methylon and hyperbaric oxygen therapies were operated for 2 weeks. The hearing of patient was improved at 6 weeks after extraction but tinnitus was persisted even after 12 months. The reason and treatment were discussed with literature review, searching with the keywords ['hearing loss' AND ('dental' OR 'tooth extraction'OR'teeth extraction')] in PubMed and Google scholar at October 2019. Total five cases were reported after tooth extraction with local anesthesia. The sudden hearing loss could be associated with local anesthesia containing vasoconstrictors. Early steroid (extensive medication and intra-tympanic injection) and hyperbaric oxygen therapies were recommended within 2 weeks. As a proper treatment, hearing could be improved but other additional symptoms, such as tinnitus, dizziness, might be remained.
Occlusal concepts and considerations in implant supported prosthesis
Authors: Baek Yeon-Wha , Kim Myung-Joo , Kwon Ho-Beom , Lim Young-Jun
Published: August 2024

The osseointegrated implants react biomechanically in a different pattern to occlusal force, due to lack of the periodontal ligament unlike the natural teeth. The implants show markedly less movement and limited tactile sensitivity compared with the natural teeth. The implant occlusion concept aims to avoid overloading on the implants and to direct occlusal loads along the longitudinal axis of the implants, in order to compensate for the different biomechanics of the implants. Although many guidelines and theories on implant occlusion have been proposed, few have provided strong supportive evidence. Moreover, the outcome of treatment often quite successful in spite of different concepts of occlusion and there is an increasing tendency to doubt about the strict theoretical implant-specific occlusion concept. The purpose of this article is to review the previous reports about the concept of implant occlusion and discuss clinical occlusal considerations in implant rehabilitations.
Herpes zoster infection with meningitis after prodromal symptom presented as toothache
Authors: Cho Ju-Yeon
Published: August 2024

Herpes zoster virus (HZV) infection is reactivation of Varicella Zoster virus that entered into the dorsal root ganglia during prior chicken pox infection, then remained in a latent form. HZV is characterized by its typical unilateral vesicles and rash along with a dermatome involvement. In its early stage, the only symptom may be prodromal odontalgia. Therefore, the difficulty in its diagnosis may lead to delayed HZV treatment as well as unnecessary dental procedures. A case of HZV infection of the trigeminal nerve branch is presented here, which was not properly diagnosed at the initial examination, but later confirmed as HZV infection with meningitis.
Surgical Removal of Orthodontic Mini-screw Accidentally Displaced Into the Pterygomandibular Space Via Intraoral Approach
Authors: Lee Ga-Hyung , Yoo Jeong-Hun , Kim Hwi-Kang , Kim Bong-Chul , Lim Hun-Jun
Published: August 2024

The mini-screw is widely used in orthodontic treatment for anchorage reinforcement. In mild skeletal Class III patient, retraction of mandibular dentition using mini-screw has been accepted as a reliable and stable treatment approach. In addition, the mini-screw placed in the retromolar area could be used for the uprighting of the lower molar. However, the placement of the mini-screw on the retromolar trigone or anterior ramus region need to be careful because of the possible risk of the “slippage” or “displacement”. Once the mini-screw is displaced to the fascial space such as pterygomandibular space, sub- mandibular space or lateral pharyngeal space, it is difficult to remove. In this case report, we present a mini-screw removal case via an intraoral approach that was displaced into the pterygomandibular space while placing the orthodontic mini-screw on the anterior margin of mandibular ramus.
Reconstruction of Interdental papilla through connective tissue graft with orthodontic treatment: A Clinical Case Report
Authors: Koog Jung-Sung
Published: August 2024

Regeneration of interdental papilla damaged by periodontal disease has been a very challenging task. Up until now, many dentists have devised and introduced great surgical methods. When I compared the pros. and cons. of these many methods, I came up with the best way to regenerate interdental papilla. Temporarily creating space between narrow interdental papilla, which could not be solved by periodontal surgery alone, was a great help for connective tissue graft (CTG). The CTG was performed using a microblade, and only one vertical incision was required from the gingival margin. The graft was then performed by inserting the grafts through this incision. Along with the orthodontic treatment, the area between the narrow interdental papilla was widened, which made it easier to carry out the CTG. After a period of maintenance, I was able to bring the teeth together again using orthodontic force and regenerate the interdental papilla. I named this method the ELSA (Enlargement of space - Labial graft - Squeezing - for Augmentation of papilla) technique.
Crown Contours
Authors: Kim Woo-Hyun
Published: August 2024

One of the main goals of restorative treatment is to establish a physiological periodontal environment and promote periodontal health maintenance. Crown contours affect periodontal health. Loe in 1965 and Socransky in 1970 showed that bacterial plaque was a direct cause of periodontal disease. O'leary in 1970 and Perel in 1971 demonstrated experimentally that crown contours can also affect gingival health.Several theories about crown contours came before it was found that dental plaques are the direct cause ofgum disease and, therefore, are mostly hypothetical or simple opinions. Unfortunately, when discussing the shape of the prosthesis, there are still arguments that have no rationale (or weak), such as shape to obtain gum support or shape that becomes self-cleansing. I hope that readers would understand Crown contours better through a review of the dental literature.

Published: August 2024

Drip irrigation and self-watering are two examples of irrigation technology improvements that employ effective and efficient watering methods. Water productivity may be used as a benchmark to compare irrigation efficiency and agricultural productivity. The purpose of this study was to assess mustard green's water productivity under conventional, drip, and self-watering irrigation systems. The effect of irrigation variation on mustard green growth was studied using a nonfactorial technique with a completely randomized design (CRD). The design has three treatments and six replications. This study examined the following variables: height, number of leaves, yield, irrigation water utilized, and water productivity of mustard green. The study found that mustard green plants require 0.69 mm/day of water in the vegetative phase, 2.83 mm/day in the generative phase, and 1.69 mm/day in the final phase. The use of different watering systems has a significant influence on mustard green's height and leaf number. Self-watering at 15 g/L provides the maximum water productivity for mustard green, followed by drip irrigation at 8.46 g/L and conventional irrigation at 7.69 g/L. Keywords: Drip irrigation, Mustard green, Self-watering irrigation, Water productivity

Aiming to legalize the practice of polygamy through the Raqan regulation, which is then outlined in the family Qanun, it needs to have restrictions on practicing polygamy, such as the concept of justice and sanctions for abuse committed by a husband. The purpose is to protect women as human beings whose rights must be protected along with the obligations and be executed. Then, the research aimed to analyze the construction of Islamic law reform in the family sector, especially in protecting the position of women and children in the context of the structure of the legal order and the occurrence of polygamy without the permission of the Mahkamah Syar’iyah in Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam. The research was qualitative using non-doctrinal juridical or sociological methods to reform the legal order of polygamy in Raqan using studies of legal order theory, al-hudud (legal boundaries), and al-mashlahah, using a historical approach and a legal philosophy approach. The findings showed that the idea of a legal order for polygamy in the family law community in Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam is the implementation of the idea of legal governance between compliance with Sharia and state law perfectly through raqan renewal. Legal reform is an illustration and parameter in implementing polygamy to realize benefits for individuals and society. And, protect the position of women and children who have not been accommodated in marriage law, so that they can live a harmonious life.

Published: August 2024

Optimization of diuretic therapy in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) is a complex problem with many unsolved questions. Diuretics play an important role in the treatment of heart failure. Current guidelines recommend using loop diuretics for the treatment of CHF patients with fluid overload. Torasemide and furosemide are representatives of loop diuretics with an identical diuretic mechanism, but different pharmacokinetic properties. Due to greater bioavailability, a higher degree of connection with proteins and a longer half-life, torasemide acts faster, less often causes accelerated urination than furosemide, is well absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract even with hyperhydration caused by diseases of the heart, kidneys and liver. Torasemide inhibits the increased activity of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, which is characteristic of CHF, without affecting the level of electrolytes in the blood. In addition, torasemide slows down the development of myocardial fibrosis and promotes reverse remodeling of the ventricles. Compared to furosemide, torasemide improves the quality of life of patients with CHF, reduces the frequency of hospitalizations, the length of stay in the hospital, and improves exercise tolerance. In recent years, there have been calls for a transition to the active clinical use of torasemide instead of furosemide in CHF patients.Objective: to systematize modern literature data on the role of loop diuretics furosemide and torasemide in the treatment of chronic heart failure.Conclusion. The loop diuretic torasemide has an advantage over furosemide in the treatment of chronic heart failure.
EDUCATIONAL AND METHODOLOGICAL FUNDAMENTALS OF TEACHING THE TOPIC "ANATOMY OF THE SUPPORTING APPARATUS OF THE EYE"
Authors: Kozariichuk N.Y. , Kryvetskyi V.V. , Proniaiev D.V.
Published: August 2024

The article is devoted to the analysis of the peculiarities of teaching the topic "Supporting apparatus of the eye" in domestic medical higher education institutions. Given the importance of studying the anatomy of the connective tissue structures of the eye socket for understanding the spread of infectious processes, we believe that in modern curricula on normal human anatomy, methodologists pay insufficient attention to their study. As a rule, these questions are only a small part of the wide variations of the topic "Accessory structures of the eye". At the same time, the peculiarities of the structure of the periosteum of the eye socket, the orbital septum, the socket of the eyeball, Whitnall's and Lockwood's ligaments, the tendinous funnel, the fascia of the rectus and oblique muscles have an extremely complex structure. Thorough knowledge of these features is a necessary condition for the development of the clinical thinking of the future doctor. The development of modern technologies for the surgical treatment of many eye diseases requires scientists and teachers to improve their knowledge of the structure of certain connective tissue structures of the eye. For example, the features of the structure and attachment of Tenon's capsule in the limbus area are the formation of an area where the approach to the fibrous membrane of the eye during surgical interventions can be carried out without damaging it. Nowadays, aesthetic surgery of the eye area is gaining particular popularity. Blepharoplasty is one of the surgical interventions most often performed in plastic surgery. Without a perfect knowledge of the structure of the orbital septum, safe performance of blepharoplasty is impossible. The surgeon needs to be oriented in the peculiarities of the structure of the orbital septum and the differences in its structure in the areas of the upper and lower eyelids. It is important to note that in the lower part of the eye socket, the space behind the orbital septum is much larger than in the upper part, it sinks into the depth of the eye socket, behind the back pole of the eye and is filled with fatty tissue, the growth of which is often an indication for surgical intervention. The structure of the upper part of the space behind the orbital septum is somewhat more complex, because it contains many vessels, nerves and connective tissue structures.

Authors: Tashchuk V.K. , Bota R.A.
Published: August 2024

The purpose of the study was to analyze the clinical characteristics, comorbid status, individual biochemical indicators, and systemic inflammation activity in patients with ischemic heart disease (IHD) depending on age, gender distribution, and diagnosis influence.Materials and methods. The study included 144 patients with IHD, who were divided into two groups – the main and the control. The main group comprised 120 patients with stable angina pectoris (SAP) II-III functional class (FC). The control group consisted of 24 patients with STEMI. All patients underwent a comprehensive examination: general clinical, anthropometric, laboratory (complete blood count, biochemical analysis), and instrumental (office blood pressure measurement, heart rate, and echocardiography). The comorbid profile of patients with IHD was assessed using the Charlson comorbidity index. The severity of systemic inflammation syndrome in the selected patient groups was assessed by the cellular composition of peripheral blood upon admission to the hospital, and based on the obtained data, the values of leukocyte inflammatory markers were calculated.Results. Patients in the main group were younger than those in the control group (54.78 ± 1.11 vs. 63.50 ± 1.82) (p<0.001). A statistically significant predominance of men over women was found among the cohort of IHD patients (63.33% and 36.67%, respectively) (p<0.001), with a tendency towards male predominance among patients with SAP II-III FC compared to those with STEMI (p = 0.074). Patients in the main group compared to those in the control group had significantly higher left ventricular ejection fraction (p<0.001), systolic blood pressure (p<0.001), and diastolic blood pressure (p=0.001). In the control group compared to the main group, more cases of patients with high levels of comorbidity were found (p<0.001). Lower levels of creatinine, fibrinogen, prothrombin time, and glucose were observed in patients in the main group. Patients with SAP II-III FC compared to those with STEMI had lower levels of leukocyte inflammatory markers, such as neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) (p<0.001), systemic immune inflammation index (SII) (p=0.002), systemic inflammation response index (SIRI) (p=0.007), and aggregate index of systemic inflammation (AISI) (p=0.011).Conclusions. The study underscores the need for an individualized approach to each patient with ischemic heart disease, considering their age, gender, and comorbid characteristics, as well as laboratory peculiarities, to improve therapy outcomes and prevent complications.

Introduction

Public health concerns over the impact of social media use (SMU) on adolescent health are growing. We investigated the relationship between SMU and sleep health in adolescents in Canada aged 11 to 17 years.

Methods

Data from the 2017–2018 Health Behaviour in School-aged Children study were available for 12 557 participants (55.2% female). SMU was categorized by frequency of use (non-active, active and intense) and the presence of addiction-like symptoms (problematic). Mixed effects logistic regression models identified associations between SMU and seven sleep health indicators (insomnia symptoms, daytime wakefulness problems, screen time before bed, meeting sleep duration recommendations, sleep variability and late bedtime on school and non-school days).

Results

Compared to active SMU, non-active SMU was associated with better sleep indicators, except for insomnia symptoms. Intense SMU was associated with greater odds of having poor sleep health indicators (adjusted odds ratio [aORs] from 1.09 to 2.24) and problematic SMU with the highest odds (aORs from 1.67 to 3.24). Associations with problematic SMU were greater among girls than boys, including having a later bedtime on school days (aOR = 3.74 vs. 1.84) and on non-school days (aOR = 4.13 vs. 2.18). Associations between SMU and sleep outcomes did not differ by age group.

Conclusion

Compared to active SMU, non-active SMU was associated with better sleep indicators, except for insomnia symptoms. Intense SMU was associated with greater odds of having poor sleep health indicators (adjusted odds ratio [aORs] from 1.09 to 2.24) and problematic SMU with the highest odds (aORs from 1.67 to 3.24). Associations with problematic SMU were greater among girls than boys, including having a later bedtime on school days (aOR = 3.74 vs. 1.84) and on non-school days (aOR = 4.13 vs. 2.18). Associations between SMU and sleep outcomes did not differ by age group.
Illness and Death in the Life of Kazan Burghers (The End of the 18th - First Half of the 19th Century)

Published: August 2024

The article deals with the issues of illness and death in the everyday life of Kazan burghers of the first half of the 19th century. Based on the analysis of a significant number of archival documents, an analysis of the nature of diseases was carried out, climatic, geographical and social causes of diseases and mortality were identified. The social factors of diseases are the low standard of living of the burghers, the peculiarities of the city as a habitat, the weak level of sanitary culture, the lack of qualified medical care. A significant role was played by the commitment of the burghers to the traditional conservative lifestyle, which was based on adherence to established practices and habits, including the refusal to consult doctors. The daily way of life was significantly corrected by epidemic diseases, among which smallpox and cholera were especially significant. The therapeutic and preventive measures taken significantly changed everyday life and required new practices that were perceived differently by people. Restrictive measures violated the usual order of life, a mass phenomenon was the refusal of smallpox vaccination, as well as non-compliance with sanitary measures. The burghers understood the disease as an attribute of the material world, which was expressed in the rational perception and designation of the disease as a state of the body, although some features of the irrational understanding of the disease can still be traced in the language of the burghers. The burghers realized death as an inevitable natural outcome of life, which required the necessary actions to complete earthly affairs.

Поширення комп’ютерів, смартфонів і планшетів сприяє збільшенню часу, який молодь проводить у сидячому положенні. Онлайн-навчання, соціальні мережі та відеоігри часто замінюють активні види відпочинку. З переходом на цифрові платформи для спілкування та розваг здобувачі вищої освіти менше часу проводять на свіжому повітрі і рідше займаються спортом. Це негативно позначається на загальному рівні фізичної активності та здоров’я. Фізична активність сприяє виробленню ендорфінів, які покращують настрій. Нестача руху може призводити до депресивних станів та підвищеної тривожності. Регулярні фізичні вправи покращують кровообіг у мозку, що позитивно впливає на пам’ять та концентрацію. Сидячий спосіб життя може призводити до зниження когнітивних здібностей. Мета і завдання статті – визначити вплив цифровізації та технологічного прогресу на фізичну активність здобувачів вищої освіти та можливості підвищення їх мотивації до занять спортом і фізичною культурою. Віртуальні розваги найчастіше виявляються привабливішими, ніж фізичні вправи, що знижує інтерес до спорту та активного способу життя. Молодь бере участь у віртуальних спільнотах, де вони можуть спілкуватися з друзями, заводити нові знайомства та ділитися своїми успіхами й досягненнями. Це створює почуття приналежності та соціальної залученості. Багато відеоігор пропонують можливість грати разом із друзями, що робить їх ще більш привабливими. Але тривале проведення часу за віртуальними розвагами може призводити до негативних наслідків для здоров’я молоді, як-от погіршення зору, зниження фізичної активності, соціальна ізоляція та підвищена тривожність. Для балансування важливо розвивати інтерес до фізичної активності через привернення уваги до її позитивних аспектів, створення цікавих та захоплюючих програм, а також завдяки інтеграції цифрових технологій у заняття спортом. Проте, незважаючи на бурхливий розвиток цифрових технологій, їх інтеграція у фізичне виховання залишається слабкою. Не всі заклади освіти використовують доступні ресурси, як-от фітнес-програми, онлайн-курси з фізкультури тощо. Створення та впровадження онлайн-платформ та програм для занять фізичною культурою можуть мотивувати здобувачів вищої освіти до регулярних тренувань. Це можуть бути інтерактивні курси, віртуальні тренування, програми змагання та ін.
ТРАНСФОРМАЦІЯ СИСТЕМИ ОЦІНЮВАННЯ ФІЗИЧНОЇ ПІДГОТОВЛЕНОСТІ ВІЙСЬКОВОСЛУЖБОВЦІВ СУХОПУТНИХ ВІЙСЬК США: ЗУМОВЛЕНІСТЬ, РЕЗУЛЬТАТ

Чинна система оцінювання фізичної підготовленості військовослужбовців Збройних сил України визнана неадекватною своєму призначенню. Створена для діагностування фізичних властивостей конкретних груп м’язів спортсменів, що визначають їх готовність до змагальної діяльності у відповідному виді спорту, вона не є інформативною в разі оцінювання відповідності фізичного стану військовослужбовців вимогам професійно-бойової діяльності та ступеня їх готовності виконувати різні за характером рухові дії, тому вона потребує заміни. У збройних силах багатьох країн таку заміну вже проведено. Останніми роками було оновлено систему оцінювання в сухопутних військах США. Досвід іноземних науковців може бути корисним у створенні вітчизняної системи оцінювання фізичної готовності військовослужбовців до бойової діяльності. Мета дослідження – аналіз системи оцінювання фізичної підготовки сухопутних військ США та результатів її трансформації. Методи дослідження: аналіз, узагальнення та систематизація даних наукової літератури, керівних документів, що визначають систему фізичної підготовки сухопутних військ США. Реформування системи оцінювання було зумовлено необхідністю підвищення ефективності системи фізичної підготовки загалом. Трансформація системи оцінювання забезпечує отримання необхідної інформації щодо фізичного стану військовослужбовців, допомагає оперативно приймати управлінські рішення для підвищення ефективності фізичної підготовки.

Проблема визначення оптимального складу тіла в спортсменів, зокрема вмісту жиру, є досить актуальною для багатьох галузей науки, як-от спортивна медицина, фізіологія, біохімія тощо. Загальновідомо, що приріст маси тіла за рахунок жирової тканини зазвичай негативно впливає на спортивні результати. Незважаючи на велику кількість проведених досліджень, визначення оптимальних меж вмісту жиру в організмі спортсменів залежно від виду спорту залишається актуальним. Метою статті є дослідити вміст жиру у кваліфікованих спортсменів, які спеціалізуються в різних видах спорту. У дослідженні взяли участь 128 спортсменів-членів збірних команд України обох статей (чоловіків – 67, жінок – 51), віком 18–30 років, що спеціалізуються в різних видах спорту (легка атлетика, сучасне п’ятиборство, біатлон, триатлон). Композиційний склад тіла спортсменів визначали методом імпедансометрії за допомогою вагів-аналізаторів складу тіла Tanita BC-545 (Японія) та професійного аналізатору InBody 770 (Корея). Аналіз статистичних даних було проведено на основі архівних матеріалів Державного науково-дослідного інституту фізичної культури і спорту за період з 2014 по 2024 рік за допомогою програмного забезпечення «Statistica 12». За результатами обстежень виявлено, що серед спортсменів існує проблема високого вмісту жиру в організмі, за винятком чоловіків-біатлоністів. Найбільший відсоток спортсменів зі збільшеним вмістом жиру в організмі виявлено серед легкоатлетів (20% із 30 спортсменів), з яких 60% є представниками групи видів метання. Крім того, виявлено високий відсоток представниць різних видів спорту, в яких вміст жиру перевищує рекомендовані норми (по 22,0% з 22 легкоатлеток та з 9 триатлоністок, 33,3% з 9 представниць сучасного п’ятиборства та 36,3% з 11 біатлоністок). Беручи до уваги наведене вище, вивчення причин підвищеного вмісту жиру в організмі спортсменів стає особливо важливим.

The growth of immature Cinchona ledgeriana can be optimized by applying fertilizers to fill the nutritional needs of plants. Nutrients can be provided through the help of microorganisms derived from organic fertilizers and biofertilizers. This study aims to evaluate the effect of applying coffee husk compost and biofertilizer consortium on the growth of immature quinine plants. This research was conducted from November 2023 – January 2024 at Gambung Tea and Cinchona Research Center, Pasir Jambu District, Bandung Regency, West Java. The research used a randomized block design with four replications and six treatments, namely control (Urea 17 g.plant-1 + SP36 8 g.plant-1 + KCl 4 g.plant-1); solid coffee husk compost 3 kg.plant-1; liquid coffee husk compost 80 mL.L-1; biofertilizer 10 mL.L-1; solid coffee husk compost 3 kg.plants-1 + biofertilizer 10 mL.L-1; and liquid coffee husk compost 80 mL.L-1 + biofertilizer 10 mL.L-1. The results showed applying organic fertilizer from coffee husk waste and biofertilizer improved the growth of immature quinine plants. Combination of liquid organic fertilizer from coffee husk waste 80 mL.L-1 water + biofertilizer 10 mL.L-1 water produced a high increase in leaf area. Combination of solid organic fertilizer from coffee husk waste 3 kg. plants-1 + biofertilizer 10 mL.L-1 water showed the highest plant height increment. It implied the success of quinine improvement growth at the immature phase by applying coffee husk waste and biofertilizers.
