Authors: Dhanger Sangeeta , Vaidhyanathan Bhavani , Joseph Raajesh Idhuyya J.
Published: August 2022

Background and Aims:

Point-of-care ultrasonography (USG) of the gastric antrum can help to evaluate the aspiration risk and improve the safety of anaesthesia. The aim was to assess the gastric antrum in term parturients scheduled for elective caesarean section using bedside USG.

Methods:

After obtaining institutional ethics committee approval and written informed consent, 250 term parturients (≥36 weeks gestational age) with body mass index 18.5–30 kg/m2, and scheduled for elective caesarean delivery were included in this study. The parturients were instructed to follow standard fasting guidelines. In the preoperative area, ultrasonographic examinations were performed 15 min before the scheduled time of the caesarean section. The primary outcome was the qualitative assessment (grade 0–2) of the gastric antrum, and the secondary outcome was the quantitative assessment (antral cross-sectional area [CSA]) of gastric antrum in supine and right lateral decubitus (RLD) position. Data analysis was done using Statistical Package for Social Sciences Software (version 19).

Results:

Among the 234 parturients who completed the study, 191 exhibited grade 0 antrum, 42 had grade 1 antrum, and one parturient had grade 2 antrum. Overall, 83% of participants had an antral CSA ≤4.25 cm2 [95% confidence interval (CI), 2.52–5.67 cm2] in the RLD position, equivalent to an estimated gastric volume of ≤43 ml (95% CI, 32–68 mL) or ≤1.5 ml/kg (95% CI, 0.49–1.23 ml/kg).

Conclusion:

Majority of fasted term parturients scheduled for elective caesarean section had a grade 1 gastric antrum on bedside USG. This study also establishes cutoff values of antral CSA and gastric volume in both supine and RLD position for fasted term parturients.

Authors: Pasalkar Lavanya , Chavan Mahesh , Kharat Avinash , Sanap Avinash , Kheur Supriya , Ramesh Bhonde
Published: August 2022

Introduction:

Stem cells have gotten a lot of attention because of their unique ability to differentiate and regenerate. Stem cells perform an important function in tissue regeneration and repair. Human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs) are a popular source of stem cells for accelerating wound healing. Over the last few decades, the use of ozone (O3) has progressed in medical specialties all over the world, resulting in significant clinical successes in the treatment of bone, vascular, and immunological ailments, as well as pain management. However, in the domain of tissue regeneration and differentiation, the effect of ozone on stem cells has received little attention. This is the first study to show that ozone therapy has an effect on hDPSCs.

Materials and Methods:

hDPSCs were isolated and grown in vitro from healthy extracted teeth. The culture media were allowed to absorb gaseous ozone. The ozone treatment was administered at concentrations of 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 μg/mL, with a control concentration of 0 μg/mL. Proliferation was measured using the MTT reagent after 48 hours. The effect of ozone on the differentiation of DPSCs into osteoblasts, chondroblasts, and adipocytes was studied using the optimal ozone concentration.

Results:

One-way Analysis of variance (ANOVA) comparison between different concentrations of ozone showed statistically significant result (F = 23.895; P < 0.001). Maximum metabolic activity was observed with 10 μg/mL ozone. The proliferation increased up to 15 μg/mL; with further increase in O3 concentration, there was a marked reduction in proliferation. With 10 μg/mL, post-ozone treatment marked increase in osteogenic and chondrogenic. Chondrogenic differentiation was found to be statistically significant (P < 0.001) whereas marked decrease was seen with adipogenic differentiation.

Conclusion:

About 10 μg/mL ozonization slightly increased the proliferation in hDPSCs and distinctly increased the differentiation potential in chondrogenic and osteogenic lineages. But decreased adipogenic differentiation. With these findings, future studies will help to explain how ozonization affects hDPSCs to enhance their potency for clinical applications.

Published: August 2022

Introduction:

The anterior loop (AL) of the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) and the mental foramen (MF) are important anatomical structures that should be taken into consideration during preoperative planning in the anterior mandibular region. This study aims to assess the prevalence, length, and type of the AL of the IAN in males and females in a South Indian population. Additionally, the distance from the MF to the lower border of the mandible is assessed.

Materials and Methods:

A total of 115 cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans of 230 sides of mandibles were taken using a Carestream Select CS9300 CBCT machine (Carestream Dental LLC, Atlanta, USA). The scans were selected from archives and divided into three different age groups (<40, 41–60, >61 years). The scans were analyzed to detect the canal of the AL of the inferior alveolar nerve canal (IANC). The IANC, along with the AL canal and part of the incisive nerve canal, was traced using the CS 9300 software. The length of the mandibular nerve was measured for each patient in cross-sectional and panoramic views.

Results:

The AL was present in 92.6% of the 115 participants. Overall anterior loop length ranged between 0.9 and 15.2 mm. The mean length of AL in panoramic view on the right side was 3.284 ± 2.314 mm and it was 3.015 ± 2151 mm on the left side. Y-shaped AL was more predominant when compared to T-shaped AL in the sample.

Conclusion:

The prevalence of AL was relatively higher in subjects ranging from 41 to 60 years with a slight increase in female predominance.

Authors: Srinivasan Vaishnavi , Kumar Gundamaraju Kiran , Shyam Naragani Durga Venkata Naga , Narayen Vaishali , Konda Paremala , Rani Korra Swetha
Published: August 2022

Introduction:

In histopathologic laboratories, hematoxylin and eosin (H and E) staining is the routine and gold standard technique employed for biopsy tissues. But, few differential stains are being used in questionable diagnostic cases of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) to confirm its final diagnosis. Modified Cajal trichrome stain (CTS) is one such stain which may be employed as an adjunctive supporting aid for arriving at a conclusive diagnosis. To assess epithelial and connective tissue components in normal oral mucosa, oral epithelial dysplasia (OED), and OSCC cases stained with routine H and E and modified CTS. And also to compare and evaluate the efficacy of Modified CTS with that of H and E stain.

Materials and Methods:

A total of 40 tissue samples, 10 each of normal oral mucosa and OED, 20 cases of OSCC (10 cases each of microinvasive and frank OSCC) were stained with standard H and E and modified CTS simultaneously.

Results:

Modified CTS showed statistically significant and better results in differentiated terms of parameters such as depth of tumor invasion and differentiation between epithelial and connective tissue components in OSCC cases. Epithelial basement membrane interface and microinvasion are clearly appreciated in challenging cases of early epithelial malignancies such as microinvasive OSCC using this stain.

Conclusion:

As this stain can easily delineate epithelial structures from various connective tissue components, it may be utilized as an auxiliary diagnostic support along with routine H and E stain for confirmatory diagnosis.

Published: August 2022

Intoduction:

Endodontic treatment procedures are designed to eradicate infection and prevent germs from infecting or reinfecting the root and/or periapical tissues. As a result, a thorough understanding of the endodontic microbiome is critical to the efficacy of endodontic treatment in diverse types of illness. We conducted a thorough and critical assessment of original research articles that looked into the microbiota of pulp and periapical infections for this study. Primary apical periodontitis, secondary apical periodontitis, and apical abscess are the endodontic diseases included in this study.

Materials and Methods:

The PRISMA statement and Cochrane criteria for systematic reviews were followed in the preparation of this systematic review's methodology. For works published between 2000 and 2020, a thorough literature search was undertaken independently by two researchers in the PubMed, SCOPUS, and EMBASE databases. We found all of the papers that contained original data on oral microorganisms in pulp and periapical diseases. Anecdotal evidence, case reports, and reviews were excluded from the study. The complete text of 36 articles that satisfied the inclusion criteria were retrieved and reviewed for sample methodology, sequencing strategy, and microbiome makeup. All 36 publications were critically examined independently by three authors, following the Joanna Briggs Institute Reviewer's Manual of 2017.

Results:

Firmicutes, Bacteroidetes, Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, and Fusobacteria were the most common phyla represented.

Conclusion:

All infection types are associated with an exceedingly diverse microbiome. These studies together map out an exhaustive chart of the taxa inherent in endodontic infections.

Published: August 2022

Introduction:

Screening programs with the use of specific diagnostic tools in asymptomatic patients are useful in identifying suspicious oral lesions and aid in the early diagnosis of oral cancer. The objective of the present study was to compare the oral rub and rinse technique with the conventional exfoliative cytology in the screening of oral malignant and potentially malignant diseases.

Materials and Methods:

An oral cancer screening program was conducted in the Dakshina Kannada district of Karnataka, India. The oral rub and rinse technique was performed on patients who had red/white lesions in the oral mucosa followed by the conventional exfoliative cytology. Scalpel biopsy was performed to confirm for presence or absence of malignancy in cases wherever indicated. Descriptive statistics (frequency and percentage) were used in the present study.

Results:

A total of 848 subjects were screened for oral cancer and precancer. About 112 participants had premalignant/malignant lesions and biopsy was performed on 30 subjects. Of these, 27.7% were Class I smears, 39.3% were Class II smears, 22.3% were Class III smears, 4.5% were Class IV smears, and 6.2% were unsatisfactory using the conventional technique, whereas the oral rub and rinse technique showed 26.8% Class I smears, 42.9% Class II smears, 19.6% Class III smears, 6.2% Class IV smears, 0.9% Class V smears, and 3.6% unsatisfactory.

Conclusion:

Although both the techniques could detect malignancy, the oral rub and rinse technique showed better cellular clarity and sample adequacy when compared to conventional exfoliative cytology, which makes it a practical tool in resource-challenged settings.

Published: August 2022

Introduction:

Maxillary canine impaction is directly associated with changes in dentoalveolar dimensions and adjacent teeth displacement. This investigation aimed to perform skeletal and dentoalveolar measurements of unilateral palatally impacted canines and compare them with the unaffected contralateral side using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT).

Materials and Methods:

This cross-sectional study examined unilaterally impacted canines of the maxilla in 46 CBCT scans. The lateral incisor angulations, nasal cavity width, alveolar bone height, bucco-palatal width, and arch perimeter were measured and compared on both impaction and unaffected sides. All statistical tests were two-sided and analyzed using the paired sample t test and the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test using SPSS 26.0. A P < 0.05 was deemed statistically meaningful.

Results:

On the impacted side, a significant decrease was observed in the width of the alveolar bone at the height of 2 mm (P = 0.001). Furthermore, at the height of 10 mm, the impacted side was significantly thicker (P = 0.001). There was a statistically significant difference between the maxillary arch width on the nonimpacted and impacted sides (P = 0.001); the distance of mid-palatine raphe to the first premolar and canine proximal bone on the non-impaction side was significantly lower (13.251 ± 1.75 mm) compared to the impacted side (14.334 ± 1.80 mm) (P = 0.01). The external angle of the lateral maxillary incisor on the impacted side (86.803 ± 8.425°) showed a significant decrease (P = 0.001) compared with the contralateral side (91.403 ± 6.791°).

Conclusion:

The lateral incisors’ lateral angulations, the inter-premolar width, and the alveolar bone thickness can be affected by palatally impacted canine teeth. However, the height of the alveolar bone and the width of the nasal cavity are not affected.

Published: August 2022

Limited studies have been conducted on low-aluminum and rich-iron-calcium fly ash (LARICFA)-based geopolymer concrete with increased strength. This study aims to investigate the mechanical characteristics of LARICFA-based geopolymer concrete, including its compressive strength, split tensile strength, and ultimate moment. The steps of this study include material preparation and testing, concrete mix design and casting, specimen curing and testing, and the analysis of testing results. Furthermore, the specimen tests consist of the bending, compressive, and split tensile strength tests. The results show that the average compressive strength and the ultimate moment of the geopolymer concrete are 38.20 MPa and 22.90 kN·m, respectively, while the average ratio between the split tensile and compressive strengths is around 0.09. Therefore, the fly ash-based geopolymer concrete can be used in structural components.

Authors: Lin Che-Yu , Chen Yi-Cheng , Pang Chin Pok , Yang Tung-Han
Published: August 2022

Ultrasound viscoelastic creep imaging (UVCI) is a newly developed technology aiming to measure the viscoelastic properties of materials. The purpose of this study is to investigate the accuracy of UVCI in measuring the viscoelastic properties of heterogeneous materials that mimic pathological lesions and normal tissues. The finite element simulation is used to investigate the measurement accuracy of UVCI on three material models, including a homogeneous material, a single-inclusion phantom, and a three-layer structure. The measurement accuracy for a viscoelastic property is determined by the difference between the simulated measurement result of that viscoelastic property and its true value defined during the simulation process. The results show that UVCI in general cannot accurately measure the true values of the viscoelastic properties of a heterogeneous material, demonstrating the need to further improve the theories and technologies relevant to UVCI to improve its measurement accuracy on tissue-like heterogeneous materials.

Published: August 2022

Electricity is the most adaptable and easily controlled form of energy and can be easily obtained from renewable sources (inexhaustible). The demand for electricity in the world, including India is rising at an alarming rate because it assumes a very essential role in the economic growth of a nation. There are a large number of remote or rural areas in India where the reach of conventional sources of energy is either not practical or very difficult. This paper proposes a PV-biogas-Battery system to meet the energy needs of rural areas of Uttar Pradesh (U.P), where the grid is not accessible. The comparison of the On-grid PV-Biogas system, Off-grid PV-Biogas-battery system and On-grid PV system is done. Techno-economic analysis of the above systems is also done. It is found that in the present scenario the Off-grid PV-Biogas-Battery system gives the best results. Considering the future possibility that the villages get to the grid, On-grid PV system is also designed which gives the best result in this scenario. The modelling and simulation are done with HOMER Pro Software. Besides providing electricity to the village from a hybrid PV-Biogas-battery system, it is also prescribed to use the gases (like methane) produced in the bio gas plant to provide as cooking gas to households Biogas can also be upgraded into biomethane, which is known as renewable natural gas or RNG, and infuse into natural gas pipelines or used as a fuel in vehicle and to utilize the output waste produce in bio gas plant for manuring purpose. This manure can replace fertilizers eventually increasing yield without compromising the nutrient and composition of soil.

Authors: kempawade Sandesh R , Mahagaonkar M. S.
Published: August 2022

In this paper the study describes a single-stage, self-contained solar photovoltaic (SPV) array-fed, permanent magnet synchronous motor water pumping system (PMSM). The two main contributions of this research are i) the development of a novel modified vector control (MVC) that improves the system's torque behaviour and (ii) the development of a special incremental conductance with variable step size (VSS-INC) with a stage technique that results in a rapid response. Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) is offered, a DC-DC converter between stages is not required, and (iii) the system's overall response time under dynamic conditions is enhanced with the use of an SPV Power Feed Forward Term (FFT). A pump, a three-phase voltage source inverter (VSI), a PMSM, and an SPV array are among the parts of this system. Solar energy is transformed into electrical energy by the SPV array. The VSI performs the role of a power processing unit (PPU), supplying the necessary power to drive the PMSM. The motor-coupled pump completes the task of pumping water while the PMSM rotates. The provided empower system toolbox is used with MATLAB/Simulink to model and simulate this system.

Saudi Arabia has vast area with sprawling regions. As a result of diversification of kingdom's land-use (such as agriculture, residential, commercial and industrial), the employment opportunities are varied from one region to another. Saudi Arabia struggles with both high aggregate unemployment rates and persistent regional unemployment rate differentials. In this paper, we focus on Saudis’ male and female job seekers who imposes IT certifications or capabilities and sectors either public or private which provide IT job opportunities in Saudi’s regions. Using GIS-based analysis, in this research, we attend to examining spatial distributions of IT jobs and IT jobs seeker, and analyze relationship between IT jobs and Saudi’s regions in order to help both IT job seekers and providers to identify their destination for fill or provide suitable job vacancies and alleviate unemployment. This research shows that the regions with high residential density are highly centralized IT jobs and IT job seekers.

Authors: Kaur Maninder , Chawla Samarth , Dua Ruhi
Published: August 2022

The vulnerability of power theft has hampered the electricity industry for decades. It obstructs social progress by having varying degrees of impact on home, commercial, and industrial customers. Sneak thieves have caught up with contemporary metering systems, putting electricity suppliers in trouble financially. This comparative analysis is the first step in the presentation of principles. Theft of electricity has serious consequences for the power grid's proper operation as well as the economic benefits of power corporations and commercial power service providers. An effective anti-power-theft algorithm is required for tracking power usage statistics in order to detect electricity power theft. In this literature review, we differentiate the Support Vector Machine (SVM) algorithm with other techniques for detecting abnormal usage among consumers (i.e., electricity fraudsters) in time-series data on power consumption. The results show some combinations can reach significantly better values than others, comparing both the balancing techniques for a same machine learning method itself as well as comparing these combinations between themselves.
Data Encryption Using Morse Code
Authors: Pathak Aditya , Kaur Anmol , Sagar
Published: August 2022

Cryptography in general means hiding, while in technical terms cryptography means protecting data from unauthorized access of someone, or cryptography can be considered as a method that ciphers the data so that the data can neither be read nor understood by humans. With the increasing level of internet consumption, the security of our data is the main concern. Due to increasing cyber-attacks, and over-relying on the internet, a lot of users’ data has been compromised. This has brought our attention to data security and cryptographic algorithms. Data security ensures the data of users is not being compromised and is present in such a format that an intruder won’t get access to our data, it ensures that the data is accessible to the intended user only, and anybody else can neither read nor change the data. To achieve such security, some algorithms or processes are needed. One such algorithm can be derived using Morse code since data in Morse code uses dots and dashes to represent alphabets and numbers. Even if such encryption is used directly, it may cause some threat to the user’s data as anyone with knowledge of Morse code can easily decrypt it, so to get more safety, the encrypted data is needed to be encrypted again with some other algorithm. Now, other than data safety, the safety of the algorithm is also required, as if someone gets to know about the algorithm, they can decrypt the data. The Python programming language provides a module named Cryptography in which Fernet can be used to encrypt the algorithm file as well as the data file again. Cryptography in python uses a symmetric encryption technique, i.e., it uses the same key to encrypt and decrypt the data. This technique is faster compared to asymmetric techniques. This paper demonstrates how Morse code, time & Python’s Cryptography module can be used together to provide maximum data safety.

Authors: Wadhawan Pallavi
Published: August 2022

Introduction: Asthma is classified primarily based on the level of control rather than the severity of the underlying illness process, as per the new GINA (Global Initiative for Asthma) guideline.

Objective:

To study the control classification in children visiting Asthma Clinic
To correlate the control classification with disease progression
Material and Methods: A prospective, cross-sectional observational study was conducted at a tertiary care hospital from January 2013 to December 2021. The revised GINA guidelines were used to diagnose 50 patients aged 7 to 15 with bronchial Asthma for this study. Patients’ medical histories and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test) outcomes were noted in a pre-designed form. They were enrolled on their first visit and followed up periodically with a three-monthly interval each.

Results: GINA guideline’s control classification aided in analysis of the significant differences in the distribution of progression (χ2 = 34.195, p = <0.001). There were 29 (58.0 %) patients who were well-controlled, 21 (42.0%) not well controlled with no patients in the poorly controlled category.

Conclusion: Optimizing control in asthmatic children would entail diligent counselling, adherence to therapy and strict compliance.
Malpractice Payments and Adverse Actions against Dentists in Texas-A Fifteen-Year Trend Analysis
Authors: Kadhium Viyan S
Published: August 2022

Objective: Health practitioners are potentially subject to malpractice claims against them and previous research has indicated that legal proceedings against dentists are becoming a larger proportion of all malpractice payments against healthcare professionals in the United States. The objective of this study is to describe trends in the number of malpractice payments and adverse actions made against dentists in the state of Texas over a fifteen-year period from 2006 to 2020.

Methods: Data regarding the adverse actions and malpractice payments against dentists was retrieved from the National Practice Data Bank for the years 2006-2020. The data set included adverse actions such as loss of clinical licensure, loss of clinical privileges or panel memberships, drug enforcement administration license and Department of Health and Human Services-Office of the Inspector General exclusion (i.e., exclusion from federally funded health programs). We exported all data into data visualization tools which we used to study and report trends. The University of Michigan Medical School Committee on Human Studies determined our study was not regulated and exempt (HUM00116742).

Results: The number of adverse actions against dentists in Texas rose from 2006 (75 actions) to 2015 (164 actions) followed by a downward trend until 2020 (70 actions). The number of malpractice payments against dentists had an inverse relationship with adverse actions between 2006 – 2014 and again 2017 – 2020. However, during 2014 – 2016 there was a concurrent increase in malpractice payments and adverse actions. Loss of clinical licensure was the most common (91.23%) adverse action, followed by Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) action (3.77%), Health and human services – exclusions by the Office of the Inspector General (HHS OIG) exclusion (1.68%) with the least common being cancellation of clinical privileges/panel memberships (1.33%).

Conclusion: The number of malpractice payments against dentists followed a loosely inverse relationship with adverse actions.
Peculiarities of Ocular and Systemic Pathology in the Elderly
Authors: Rodica Lascu
Published: August 2022

The pathology of the elderly is the direct result of the aging process, aggravated by the physical and mental involution that occurs with advancing age. Age-related eye changes are present, such as: presbyopia, decreased tears, peripheral visual field reduction, vitreous liquefaction (with posterior vitreous detachment and retinal detachment), decreased vision due to cataracts, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, macular lesions, Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD), optic atrophy. At the same time, there are multiple systemic diseases in the elderly, at the cardiovascular, respiratory, locomotor, neurological, auditory level. The diseases of the elderly can be multiple, with a long, chronic evolution, with periods of exacerbation, frequent complications, prolonged convalescence. Aging is a continuous, dynamic process that must be followed because in its evolution new connections and balances are created that must be identified and treated properly, old age being a distinct stage of ontogenesis that should not be seen as a state of disease. In an elderly patient, the normal aging should be differentiated from pathology.
