Subject. The results of a comprehensive microbiological study of the state of the normobioma of the oral cavity in individuals with recurrent aphthae of the oral cavity against the background of acid-dependent diseases of the gastrointestinal tract are considered.

The goal is to determine the diagnostic significance of individual representatives of the oral normobioma in patients with recurrent aphthae of the oral cavity against the background of acid-dependent diseases of the gastrointestinal tract.

Methodology. The study involved 83 patients who were divided into two main and control groups depending on the clinical manifestations of recurrent aphthae of the oral cavity on the background of hypersecretory syndrome.

Results. The results of the study showed that in patients of the first and second main groups, in which the manifestations of recurrent aphthae in the oral cavity were accompanied by diseases of the gastrointestinal tract with hypersecretory syndrome, the frequency of allocation of staphylococcal flora was 1.3—1.5 times higher compared to control (p≤0.05), an increase in the proportion of S. aureus — 2.5 times. The detection frequency of S. epidermidis in the control and both clinical groups was 28.0, 27.6 and 31.0 % of cases, respectively, the proportion of hemolytic forms in the control group was 4.0 %, in the first 10.3 % (an increase of 2 5 times), in the second — 17.2 % (4.3 times).

The observed changes in the species composition may indicate dysbiosis in the oral cavity, caused not only by the presence of recurrent aphthae, but also by acid-dependent diseases of the gastrointestinal tract.

Conclusions. In recurrent aphthae of the oral cavity in patients with acid-dependent diseases of the gastrointestinal tract in the microbiome of the oral cavity against the background of reduced titers of lactobacilli, an increase in representatives of Staphylococcus spp., Enterococcus spp is most often observed. and Candida spp. (1.2 times average), Enterococcus spp. (1.4 times), Staphylococcus spp. and Enterobacteriaceae spp. (1.2 times), Actinobacillus spp. (1.1 times).

A PSYCHOLOGICAL STUDY ON THE NOVEL A CLOCKWORK ORANGE
Authors: Elizabeth Mathai Ziona , Nagalakshmi M.
Published: February 2020

Purpose of the study: This paper is a study on the novel A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess. It is an analysis of Alex’s psychological condition and a study on the Ludovico experiment in relation to other popular experiments in psychology. The paper brings to light the dark and evil side of adolescence.

Methodology: This study uses a psychological approach in analyzing the character of the protagonist Alex. Various psychological theories are applied in this paper to interpret this novel.

Main Findings: Examining Alex’s depiction in the novel, he is presumed as a sociopath with a narcissistic personality disorder. The Ludovico experiment which stole the limelight in this novel is a behavioral modification technique, powered by negative reinforcement. Despite being a fictional experiment and a product of Burgess’s imagination, the Ludovico experiment is stemmed out of Ivan Pavlov’s classical conditioning. This experiment also complements Watson and Rayner’s ‘Little Albert’ experiment. The termination of Alex’s free will by the Ludovico experiment is reversed by the flooding method of desensitization.

Applications of this study: The novel, A Clockwork Orange is brimming with psychological theories, hence a fascinating book to the psychologists. The protagonist Alex, continues to remain as a case-study amongst the scholars of psychology.

Novelty/Originality of this study: The final chapter in the novel has various interpretations. The reversal of Alex’s condition is caused by the flooding method of desensitization. While the cause of reversal holds varied comprehension, the flooding method seems like the fitting one.

The Impact of Craniosacral Therapy/Cranial Osteopathy on Breastfeeding
Authors: Hazelbaker Alison K.
Published: February 2020

Introduction

Many babies have suck dysfunctions and other difficulties that are due to fascial restrictions. These babies often do not respond to typical lactation care.

Method

Breastfeeding difficulties may be caused by strain patterns found in the cranial–sacral mechanism or somewhere else in the body. Strain patterns may be the result of intrauterine lie challenges, birth interventions and/or birth trauma, or postpartum events that compromise structure and function.

Results

Several recent randomized trials have found that craniosacral therapy and cranial osteopathy were effective and nonharmful treatments for babies with sucking problems that were negatively impacting breastfeeding.

Conclusion

Craniosacral therapy and cranial osteopathy, sister modalities, have been found to positively impact breastfeeding by rectifying structure–function strain patterns in babies.
Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment and Breastfeeding
Authors: Watts Kari Beth , Lagouros Meredith
Published: February 2020

Objective

Osteopathic physicians, or doctors of osteopathic medicine (DOs), routinely counsel patients on the clinical benefits of breastfeeding in their capacity as medical doctors. However, when a mother presents with a complaint of feeding difficulty in her newborn, osteopathic physicians are uniquely equipped to assess and treat the infant with osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT).

Methods

OMT is the practice of manual medicine developed by A.T. Still in the late 19th century, founded on the principle that the human body's structure and function are reciprocally interrelated. The osteopathic discipline encompasses a variety of musculoskeletal techniques, ranging from gentle myofascial release to high-velocity/low-amplitude thrusts. A complete osteopathic assessment of a breastfeeding infant should include evaluation of the skull and cranial base, cervical spine, thoracic spine, oral cavity and tongue, hyoid bone, and mandible.

Results

All treatments directed at newborns, infants, and children are very gentle, following the tissues in their position of ease to allow for a release of the restriction. A variety of techniques can be employed, including condylar decompression, Still technique for cervical spine dysfunction, balancing of the hyoid bone, myofascial release of the thoracic inlet, and treatments in the cranial field.

Conclusion

Osteopathic manipulation should be initiated when the first-line interventions do not result in improved nursing, and other causes such as hypoglycemia or maternal factors have been excluded.

Authors: Sari Rima Parwati , Kurniawan Hansen
Published: February 2020

Background: Post-extraction complications can cause alveolar bone resorption. Hydroxyapatite-tricalcium phosphate (HA-TCP) is one potential bone graft material that can be synthesized from Anadara granosa shell. Another biomarine, Stichopus hermanni, contains hyaluronic acid which can accelerate bone formation on the fourteenth day. Purpose: This study aims to prove the effectiveness of Anadara granosa shell-Stichopus hermanni granules in weaving bone formation fourteen days after tooth extraction. Methods: Twenty-five male Wistar rats were divided into five groups. Their lower left incisor was extracted with gelatin being administered to the control group (C) and granule scaffold derived from Anadara granosa (AG) shell and Anadara granosa shell-Stichopus hermanni at concentrations of 0.4%-0.8%-1.6% (AGSH1-AGSH2-AGSH3) to the treatment group. This study developed a HA-TCP synthesized from Anadara granosa combined with whole Stichopus hermanni to create granule scaffolds by means of a freeze-dried method. The jaw was removed on the fourteenth day post-tooth extraction. Observation of HPA involved the use of an Image Raster®. The resulting data was subjected to analysis by ANOVA and tukey-HSD tests (p<0.05). Results: Data showed the mean of C=0.157±0.078; AG=1.139±0.371; AGSH1=1.595±0.291; AGSH2=1.740±0.308; and AGSH3=1.638±0.286. Statistical analyses showed significant differences in the woven bone area (mm2) between C and the treatment groups AG;AGSH1;AGSH2; AGSH3; and between AG and the AGSH2 groups. Conclusions: Scaffold granules from Anadara granosa shells and Stichopus hermanni effectively accelerate the bone formation process with the most effective being Stichopus hermanni at a concentration of 0.8%.

Authors: Saraswati Widya , Kumalasari Dian Pramita Ayu , Soetojo Adioro
Published: February 2020

Background: Bulk fill packable composite that can be applied to a depth of 4mm in cavities is widely used in posterior teeth restoration. Unfortunately, this composite is subject to potential microleakage which occurs due to erosion resulting from the consumption of carbonated drinks containing carbonic acid. Nevertheless, microleakage can be reduced by bonding applications the etch technique of which is divided into two forms; self-etch bonding and total-etch bonding. Purpose: This study aims to determine the difference in microleakage between total-etch and self-etch bonding in bulk fill packable composite following carbonic acid immersion. Methods: This study constitutes experimental laboratory research utilizing 28 incisors bovine teeth which were cleaned, immersed in 0.01% NaCl, and randomly divided into four groups. The cervical area of the teeth of all groups were prepared through the creation of cylindrical shapes 2mm in diameter and 3 mm deep. Groups I and III used total-etch bonding, while groups II and IV used self-etch bonding. Groups III and IV were control groups, whereas groups I and II were treatment groups (immersed in carbonic acid) for 24 hours. Thermocycling was carried out in all groups which were subsequently immersed in 1% methylene blue for 24 hours after which the teeth were cut in a buccolingual direction using a diamond disc wheel. Microleakage was subsequently evaluated by calculating the amount of methylene blue passing between the restoration wall and cavity using a Stereomicroscope and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The data was then analyzed using Kruskal Wallis and Mann Whitney U tests. Results: There was a significant difference between the control groups and treatment groups (p<0.05). The microleakage in Group 2 was higher than that of other groups. Conclusion: The microleakage of total-etch bonding was lower than self-etch bonding in bulk fill packable composite after carbonic acid immersion.

Published: February 2020

The Human Development Index (HDI) is an index used to determine the level of quality of human life. HDI became a trend because all local governments are competing to increase the value of their regional HDI. This study aims to identify the factors that influence the HDI of districts/cities in East Java Province in 2017 using the logit model ordinal regression approach. This type of research is a non reactive study using secondary data from the Central Statistics Agency and the East Java Province Health Office in 2017. The study population is all districts/cities of East Java Province. The total research analysis unit was 38 districts/cities. The dependent variable of the study is low, medium, high and very high HDI. The independent variable of the study is the percentage of households behaving clean and healthy, student-teacher ratio (high school level) and open unemployment rate. The results of the analysis using the logit model ordinal regression test (α = 5%) prove there is an influence between the open unemployment rate variable (p = 0.006; β = 0.790) on the HDI. The variable percentage of households behaving clean and healthy and student-teacher ratio (high school level) has no effect on HDI. Both central and regional governments are expected to be able to improve human development in all sectors, especially health, education and the economy.

Background. There is evidence that sleep disorders may be significantly linked to the development of the substance use disorders (SUD). However, data about the prevalence of the sleep disturbances among patients with SUD in Russia are relatively limited.

Aim. To evaluate the frequency of the sleep disturbances among patients (n = 196) with alcohol (ÀD, n = 102), opioid (ÎD, n = 55) and polysubstance dependence (PD, n = 39) seeking addiction medical care.

Materials and methods. We conduct a cross-sectional study of sleep disturbances among patients in St. Petersburg in 2017–2018. The modified Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) was administered to assess sleep during different periods of time: lifetime, the past 12 months, and the past 30 days.

Results. All groups demonstrated relatively high presence of different sleep disorders (range: 49.0–76.5% among 196). The sleep disturbances over the past 30 days were more common in the AD group (60.8– 73.5% among 102) with the early morning awakening as the most frequent complaint. In the PD group the prevalence of lifetime sleep disturbances was high (94.9–100.0% among 39), whereas insomnia disorders were relatively rare over the past 30 days. However, it was sleep disturbances over the past 30 days that were statistically significantly more often (p < 0,05) observed in the group of patients who actively consume narcotic substances (40.2–87.2%), compared with the group of patients in remission (0–16.7%).

Conclusion. The results demonstrated the high prevalence of insomnia among patients with SUD and suggested that the remission have a positive effect on the symptoms of sleep disorders. Further studies of the association between sleep disturbances and SUD progression are needed.

Introduction. After exposure to radiation, an increase in the long-term of cerebrovascular pathology is noted in exposed individuals. Cognitive impairments have a growing importance in the pattern of cerebrovascular diseases which significantly deteriorates social and medical forecast of a patient.

The objective of the research is to study cognitive evoked potentials in exposed persons with chronic cerebral ischemia (CCI).

Materials and methods. Two groups of patients were examined: the main group consisted of 69 persons exposed to radiation as a result of the “Mayak” PA activity, the comparison group included 110 unexposed residents of the Techa riverside settlements who were diagnosed with chronic cerebral ischemia. The following methods were used in the study: clinical, evaluation method of cognitive evoked potentials (EP), and statistical methods.

Results. In the course of clinical examination, it was revealed that the number of people with organic cognitive impairment and syndrome of cognitive decline is statistically significantly higher in the group of the exposed persons with CCI (p < 0.001, p = 0.003, respectfully). It was stated that the studied groups were statistically significantly different in N1 peak latency (ð = 0.030), N2 – P3 inter-peak latency (p = 0.003), N2 – N3 inter-peak latency (p = 0.011).

Conclusion. According to the results of clinical examination and study of cognitive EP, cognitive impairments are more expressed in the group of the exposed persons with CCI which is manifested in an increase in the number of patients with syndrome of cognitive decline and organic cognitive impairment in this group; in the change of a latency period of a number of components that characterize both the perception process and the very process of recognition and decision-making.

La compulsividad ha sido considerada una de las características nucleares de las conductas adictivas. Uno de los comportamientos abusivos que ha adquirido importancia en tiempos recientes es el uso del teléfono móvil. El objetivo del presente trabajo es obtener una versión de la Escala de Uso Obsesivo-Compulsivo de Drogas (OCDUS) para estudiar la compulsividad asociada al abuso del móvil, conocer sus propiedades psicométricas básicas y resultados de su aplicación. Se creó y administró el OCDUS-TIC por Internet, mediante mensajería instantánea, redes sociales y correo electrónico, solicitándose la participación anónima y voluntaria. Adicionalmente se administraron el MULTICAGE-TIC y el Inventario de Síntomas Prefrontales (ISP). Se obtuvo una muestra de n=748 sujetos, 33% varones y 94% nacidos y residentes en España. El test obtuvo adecuados valores de consistencia interna, aplicando diferentes estimadores. Se realizó un análisis factorial confirmatorio sobre las escalas teóricas, alcanzando adecuados estimadores de ajuste. Se observó que los componentes obsesivo-compulsivos son de mayor magnitud a medida que se incrementa la implicación en el uso y su progresión al abuso del móvil. Las escalas del OCDUS-TIC mostraron correlaciones de gran magnitud con los síntomas de mal funcionamiento prefrontal, especialmente la de Pensamiento-Interferencia (r>0,80). En conclusión, el OCDUS-TIC explora con garantías psicométricas los componentes obsesivo-compulsivos del uso/abuso del móvil, que se relacionan estrechamente con fallos cotidianos de origen prefrontal. Si la impulsividad ha centrado el interés en el estudio del abuso del móvil, los datos del presente estudio aconsejan prestar mayor atención a la compulsividad como factor de mantenimiento del abuso.

La evaluación de trastornos de personalidad comórbidos en pacientes consumidores resulta de especial relevancia en el ámbito clínico. Este trabajo analiza la capacidad discriminativa del Inventario de Personalidad PID-5 para detectar deterioro funcional en un grupo de pacientes con TUS. Además, se compara el uso de un criterio funcional y otro normativo para establecer los puntos de corte que representan un funcionamiento patológico en las facetas definidas en el Modelo Alternativo de Personalidad DSM-5. 178 pacientes con TUS asistentes a centros de tratamiento ambulatorio de adicciones cumplimentaron en PID-5 y el cuestionario para la Evaluación de la Discapacidad de la Organización Mundial de la Salud (WHODAS 2.0). El análisis de curvas ROC usando como criterio de discapacidad moderada a severa una puntuación superior a 25 en la WHODAS muestra valores AUC entre .50 y .78. 6 facetas no mostraron capacidad discriminativa de la discapacidad funcional: búsqueda de atención, grandiosidad, evitación de la intimidad, manipulación, afectividad restringida y perfeccionismo rígido. Los puntos de corte obtenidos usando el criterio funcional son superiores en las todas las facetas que resultan discriminativas del deterioro funcional respecto a los propuestos usando criterios normativos.El PID-5 tiene buena capacidad discriminativa de la disfuncionalidad evaluada por el WHODAS 2.0 en la mayor parte de facetas, especialmente en las facetas ligadas al dominio de afectividad negativa. Considerados globalmente, el uso de criterios normativos es posiblemente más adecuado para estudios epidemiológicos poblacionales, mientras que criterios funcionales podrían ser más útiles en muestras clínicas.
Efficient Self-Rotation Perception
Authors: Duggins Andrew
Published: February 2020

An event occurring within a stationary environment, in the direction toward which an observer self-rotates, is perceived to precede a simultaneous event, in the direction away from which she moves. When self-rotation results from angular acceleration in the dark, perception of space is also distorted, such that the subjective straight-ahead shifts in the opposite direction to motion and temporal event promotion. A reference frameshift theory, based on the special theory of relativity, is proposed to explain these findings. Here, a hyperbolic tangent transformation of objective angular velocity constrains subjective self-rotation velocity within finite bounds, consistent with it being a limited perceptual resource. Identifying this subjective variable with vestibular nystagmus slow-phase angular velocity, the asymptotic perceived self-rotation velocity is estimated at ~200 °⁄s. When included in the Lorentz transformations of the new formalism, this value predicts experimental simultaneity distortion. Hypothetically, the hyperbolic tangent objective-to-subjective transfer function would maximize the differential entropy of the percept, and thereby also the stimulus/percept mutual information, if angular velocities of body rotation encountered in naturalistic environmental interaction have a logistic probability density distribution of scale 100 °⁄s, a proposed experimental test of the scheme.
Mathematical Modelling of Pyrolysis of Hardwood (Acacia)
Authors: Dhaundiyal Alok , Singh Suraj , Bacskai Istvan
Published: February 2020

This paper emphasises on the analogous modelling of hardwood (Acacia) pyrolysis. The effect of physical characteristics of hardwood chips on the pyrolysis is examined through the conservation of solid mass fraction of biomass. The chip size of G30 and G50 are used in the pyrolysis reactor. In the analogous situation, the fixed bed is assumed to be a wooden slab with a porosity equivalent to the voidage of bed. The bulk density, the length of the bed and the porosity are some of the physical attributes of a fixed bed used to determine the variation of solid mass of the hardwood across the fixed bed. The four-temperature sensors separated from each other by 80 mm are used to determine the temperature along the length of the pyrolysis unit. The heating element of 2 kWe is used to initiate the pyrolysis of biomass. The experiments are conducted in three different stages. The ONORM standard chips, G30 and G50, and the combination of them are separately pyrolysis to determine the validity of a model for different sizes of chips. The proposed model is also used to establish the relationship between the kinetics of pyrolysis and decomposition of the hardwood.
Electrolytes for Energy Dense Batteries
Authors: Mohtadi Rana
Published: February 2020

The ever-rising demands for energy dense electrochemical storage systems have been driving interests in beyond Li-ion batteries such as those based on lithium and magnesium metals. These high energy density batteries suffer from several challenges, several of which stem from the flammability/volatility of the electrolytes and/or instability of the electrolyte with either the negative, positive electrode or both. Recently, hydride-based electrolytes have been paving a path towards overcoming these issues. Namely, highly performing solid state electrolytes have been reported and several key challenges in multivalent batteries were overcome. In this review, the classes of hydride-based electrolytes reported for energy dense batteries are discussed. Future perspectives are presented to guide research directions in this field.
