Headlines

The nature of the diseases that oral medicine specialists diagnose and manage throughout the oral and maxillofacial region are diverse and closely related to other dental and medical specialties.

This relatively young area of dentistry has expanded globally during the past decade as an independent discipline with postgraduate qualifying programmes being offered in several countries, as well as an increasing research community.

With a growing proportion of elderly individuals in the population in general across the world, morbidity is likely to increase in terms of both general diseases and conditions in the oral and maxillofacial region. The types of diseases requiring treatment may also differ in the future due to a greater influx of immigrants to the Nordic countries.

The wide variety of conditions encountered in a dental practice, as well as variations in the individual patient presentation and response to treatment, defines the need for careful evaluation and synthesis of practice recommendations to provide appropriate and effective management. The field of oral medicine still lacks clear guidelines for various conditions and treatments. Thus, further studies are required to improve patient healthcare.

For the discipline of oral medicine, it will be reasonable to take a greater responsibility for the basic medical skills in the dental curriculum, as modern oral medicine is increasingly becoming the intermediate between oral health care and general medicine.

Klinisk relevans

Xerostomi og spytkirteldysfunktion er komplekse tilstande med stigende udbredelse, især i den ældre del af befolkningen. Det er vigtigt, at tandlæger er opmærksomme på xerostomi og påbegynder udredning af symptomerne med henblik på at påvise årsagen og på den baggrund igangsætte relevante behandlingstiltag. Det er ligeledes vigtigt, at tandlæger har kendskab til andre spytkirteltilstande som fx mukosacyster og spytsten, da disse er relativt hyppigt forekommende.

A total of six species were isolated including Amphora sp., Nitzschia sp., Navicula sp., Scendesmus sp., Chlorella sp. and Nanochloropsis sp. by direct plating method using algal isolation medium and characterized. The crude microalgal extracts were screened for the presence of lectin and it was confirmed by haemagglution assay. Among the strains, Navicula sp. showed potent haemagglutinin activity. Heamagglutinin from Navicula sp. was further partially characterized using chromatography methods. Navicula lectin agglutinated animal and human erythrocytes. It showed high specificity for human “O” erythrocytes with the titre value of 32 HA units. The HA activity was stable between pH 7and 8 and showed thermal stability between 30 ºC and 40 ºC (p<0.01). The isolated lectin was calcium dependent and HA activity was reduced when exposed to chelators such as EDTA (p<0.01). Hemagglutination inhibition assay exhibited the strongest binding specificity towards glucose, sucrose and galactose. The cross-adsorption assay revealed that the Navicula sp. Possesses single agglutinin. The purified lectin showed anticancer activity against cervical cancer cell lines.

Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) is a life-threatening condition due to Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection, and remains a major public health issue, mostly in under-developing countries. Pakistan is the second largest country in South Asia with a significant increase in HIV cases. This research explores the comprehensive knowledge regarding HIV/AIDS, dispelling myths and their positive attitude toward people living with HIV/ AIDS (PLWHA) in Pakistan. The study is based on the secondary dataset of married men of the Pakistan Demographic and Health Survey (PDHS) 2017-18. The sample size was comprised of 3,690 married men, within the age bracket between 15 to 49 years. The descriptive analysis, cross-tabulation, and logistics regression were applied. The results illustrated that more than 67 percent of Pakistani married men have heard about HIV/ AIDS, however, among these men, 50.6 percent have comprehensive knowledge regarding HIV/AIDS, and 54.1 percent have a positive attitude toward PLWHA. The result of logistic regression analysis highlighted that married men who have lower knowledge regarding HIV/AIDS belong to the provinces of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and Sindh, aged between 20 -24 years, having primary level education and working in the sector of agriculture. Further, logistic regression analysis found that there are lower odds of positive attitude among those married men, who belong to the region of Gilgit Baltistan, Federal Administrated Tribal Area, aged between 20-24 years, having a primary level of education and working in the sector of agriculture. Finally, this research concluded that individuals’ socio-demographic traits are critical to understanding and addressing the prevailing myths to combat HIV/AIDS in Pakistan.

Published: January 2024

This study explores globalization's political, social, and economic aspects and its impact on Nepal's economic growth between 1990 and 2020. The study employed sophisticated econometric techniques, first utilizing the Johansen Cointegration and VECM to assess causality among the variables under investigation and the Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) and Phillips Perron (PP) tests to confirm the presence of unit root problems. The ADF and PP test findings showed that every variable is integrated at first difference. One cointegrating vector was found by the Johansen Cointegration test, indicating a significant long run association among the variables. The study discovered a one-way causality between economic growth and political and economic globalization in the short-run analysis. On the other hand, over time, there is a two-way causality between Nepal's economic growth and political and economic globalization while a one-way causal relationship exists between social globalization and economic growth. These results recommended that Nepal's economic growth immediately impacts how it integrates into the global economy in several sectors. Economic and political globalization influences and is influenced by Nepal's economic growth in the short term, indicating a reciprocal link. The study found that there is need for a balanced approach to globalization that fosters economic growth while reducing its negative repercussions. It also stresses how crucial it is for Nepal to actively participate in the political and economic spheres of the world.

The End of Whiteness
Authors: Dufault-Hunter Erin ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: January 2024

Many well-meaning “white” people adopt an antiracist agenda because we believe it provides the antidote to pernicious racialized inequity in the United States. Ironically, this schema maintains racism, strengthens whiteness as the measure of humanity, and inoculates us against imagining any alternative to racism’s logic. I argue that we can break the fetters of racism by framing whiteness as a principality and power. Perceived as a demonic force rather than an “identity,” we can perceive the goals of whiteness as well as the spirituality that fuels it—and cast it out. We are then freed to “reinvent the future,” emancipated from racialized politics and its violence.

Published: January 2024

The article has conducted a comprehensive analysis of Joseph Brodsky’s poem “I always kept saying that the fate is a game...” based on functional-semantic and communicative-pragmatic approaches. In the process of analysis, the main emphasis is placed on the author’s modality as a means of transmitting his individual worldview. The author’s modality is con­sidered as a text-forming semantic category, explicit at various textual levels: lexical, syntac­tic, phonetic, and compositional. The role of the following language resources in structuring the authorial modality of the analyzed text has been identified: syntactic parallelism, poetic meter and rhythm, tropes of various structures, stylistic diversity of vocabulary, phonetic instrumentation, and compositional organization of speech. It is established that the combina­tion of means expressing the author’s modality in the poem is a way of representing signifi­cant philosophical categories for the poet, such as time, space, loneliness, and fate.

The article provides a brief historical and pedagogical overview of the orientation of graduates of educational institutions toward the teaching profession in the 19th and 20th cen­tu­ries. The aim of the research is to demonstrate the significance of curricula and prog­rams with the emergence of pedagogical training in women’s educational organizations. The ex­pe­rience of educational institutions, particularly the Alexandrov School and the Smolny Insti­tu­te of Noble Maidens, in preparing future female graduates for professional activities as ho­me teachers and governesses is detailed. The research methodology is based on an aspectual app­roach: considering only one aspect, the importance of curricula in implementing pedago­gical training. Additionally, a conceptual approach, historical method, and retros­pec­tive exa­mination of practical experience are applied in a certain part of the research.

This paper reports an analytical, numerical and scale analysis study of free convective heat and mass transfer flows coupled with thermal diffusion effect in a slender vertical porous cavity subjected to cooperating lateral temperature and concentration gradients. The top and bottom walls of the cavity are assumed to be adiabatic and impermeable to mass transfer. This study aims to analyze the different hydrodynamic, thermal and solutal behaviors developed in laminar boundary layer flow regime reached at high Rayleigh numbers. Based on the parallel flow approximation, an analytical solution of the problem is derived in the extreme case of heat-driven (N≪1) free convection. The obtained analytical results are validated numerically by generating the solutions of the full governing differential equations by means of finite-difference method (FDM). To estimate the order of magnitudes involved in the boundary layer regime, a scale analysis of the conservation equations is performed. The order of magnitudes of boundary layer thickness, Nusselt and Sherwood numbers are derived in this study. For all these quantities, the trends predicted by the scaling law theory are found to be in good agreement with those of the parallel flow approach. The combined effects of Rayleigh and Soret numbers on the boundary layer thickness, flow intensity and heat and mass transfers are illustrated graphically for representative values of N, Le and A_r, and the main results are highlighted and discussed.
Compensation of fluids in patients with burns: Following a formula or individualized approach to patients?
Authors: Jovanović Milan , Stojčić Milan , Jeremić Jelena , Jović Marko , Stojanović Marina
Published: January 2024

A burn injury is defined as damage to the skin and subcutaneous tissues caused by heat, electricity, or chemicals. Burns can be classified according to the mechanism and time of occurrence and according to the severity of the injury. The severity of the burn is most often determined about the depth and percentage of the affected surface, taking into account some specificities of the patients (age, presence of comorbidities) and the burns themselves (inhalation, circumferential, burns caused by electricity). Fluid resuscitation is the most important measure of the initial (but, and later) treatment of burn disease, which is carried out to prevent hypovolemia and the occurrence of burn shock. Inadequate or delayed fluid resuscitation leads to multisystemic organ dysfunction. On the other hand, excessive fluid replacement leads to the formation of edema and other complications, such as compartment syndromes, which also increase morbidity and mortality. Crystalloid solutions are the core of burn resuscitation, and the biggest dilemma is whether, when, and how many colloids should be included in therapy.
When does the oxygen cease to be a remedy?
Authors: Stevanović Vesna , Mandraš Ana , Krunić Igor
Published: January 2024

Oxygen has been considered a potentially life-saving drug in life-threatening situations for decades. It is crucial in the perioperative period, where it is used daily by millions of surgical patients of all ages. Iatrogenic hyperoxia is as damaging as hypoxia, especially in young children and neonates. There is a growing awareness about this problem. Significant discoveries about the effect of oxygen on oxidative stress and cellular damage due to oxygen intoxication must contribute to developing hyperoxia monitoring, oxygen dosing guidelines, and revising the safe limits of hyperoxia. The consequences of hyperoxia can be irreversible damage to the vulnerable organs (lungs and brain), which mainly affects developing organisms.
Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo: From guidelines to everyday clinical practice
Authors: Bukurov Bojana
Published: January 2024

BPPV is characterized by short periodic episodes of vertigo caused by changes in head position and abnormal stimulation of the cupula of one of the three semicircular canals in the inner ear, most commonly, the posterior. It represents the vertigo that is most often encountered in clinical practice. This narrative review aimed to indicate the latest guidelines and to provide an overview of the most important information related to the timely diagnosis and treatment of patients with this form of vertigo. We discussed the etiology and pathophysiology of the disease, the clinical picture, the paths of making the correct diagnosis, and the most effective types of treatment. A brief overview of the results of the research conducted in our country on the familiarity of clinicians with the guidelines and their application is also given. To avoid late diagnosis, delay in treatment, and additional costs of diagnostic procedures and examinations, it is necessary to formulate a strategy at the national level and constantly educate medical students, general practitioners, as well as doctors of other specialties about this disorder and its treatment methods.
Derivation of geographical marginalization index of Bosnia and Herzegovina using GIS multicriteria decision analysis
Authors: Marić Ivan , Avdić Aida
Published: January 2024

Across Europe marginalization has been highlighted as an object of important political concern. In the area of Central Europe and the Balkans, the problem of marginalization has not been sufficiently researched. This particularly applies to the Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH). Using the GIS multicriteria decision analysis a composite index of geographical marginalization (GMAR) was created. Marginalization is analyzed as a multidimensional concept using the 4 groups with a total of 40 criteria. Spatial patterns were detected from extremely marginalized to extremely non-marginalized regions. The GMAR indicates the existence of regional disparities in BiH. The high degree of marginalization, especially those in the border sector, alerts the implementation of the demarginalization measures.
