Evaluation of the Effect of Supragingival Scaling on Periodontal Parameters in Pregnant Women with Metabolic Syndrome
Authors: Sayeed Ghousia , Varghese Sheeja S.
Published: December 2024

ABSTRACT

Background:

Although there are quite a number of studies on the impacts of periodontal therapeutic management on pregnant females, literature on the impact of supragingival scaling on pregnant females with metabolic syndrome (MS) is wanting. The present investigation was meticulously formulated to ascertain the clinical ramifications of supragingival scaling in pregnant individuals diagnosed with MS.

Material and Methods:

An intervention study was conducted on 47 pregnant females. The gingival index (GI), plaque index, bleeding on probing, probing depth, and clinical attachment level were among the periodontal parameters evaluated. By the end of 20–21 weeks of pregnancy, all participants had received scaling and polishing at the baseline appointment, along with advice on dental hygiene. Periodontal parameters were gathered again during a follow-up appointment 8 weeks post treatment. A 5% threshold for statistical significance was set, and paired t-test and chi-square test were applied for comparison.

Results:

Lower levels of PI, GI, and BOP 8 weeks post supragingival scaling were noted than at the baseline. The results obtained were statistically significant (P < 0.001) All patients with severe periodontitis (n = 14) before supragingival scaling shifted to milder forms of the disease. Similarly, moderate periodontitis was seen in 20 patients before the start of the study, and after the intervention, it was reduced to 16 patients.

Conclusion:

In summary, supragingival scaling lowers the incidence of periodontal disease in pregnant MS females. High-risk pregnant women who receive scaling treatment and instruction on oral hygiene on a regular basis have better oral health, which in turn improves the health of their unborn child.

ABSTRACT

Introduction:

Periodontal diseases (PDs) pose a significant challenge to dental health, leading to a growing interest in probiotics as potential therapeutic and prophylactic agents. Literature evidence has shown conflicting results on the use of probiotics in the management of PDs. Hence, this systematic review was performed to explore the effectiveness of probiotics in both the prevention and treatment of PDs by synthesizing data from relevant studies.

Methodology:

Various databases were searched using appropriate MeSH keywords as per the PRISMA protocol. Studies were included only if they met certain criteria. Two reviewers independently extracted data variables from the included literature. The risk of bias 2.0 tool was employed to assess the methodological quality of the included studies.

Results:

In total, 21 studies were considered eligible and included in the review. It was observed that 17 studies reported a statistically significant improvement in both periodontitis and gingivitis among the probiotic group compared to control cohorts. The synthesized evidence from the review suggests that probiotics play a favourable role in both the prevention and treatment of PDs.

Conclusion:

It also supports the incorporation of probiotics as a potential adjunctive therapy in PD management. However, further research is warranted to explore the specific probiotic strains, dosages, and treatment durations for optimized outcomes.
Inviscid fluid interacting with a nonlinear two-dimensional plate

Published: December 2024

We address a moving boundary problem that consists of a system of equations modeling an inviscid fluid interacting with a two-dimensional nonlinear Koiter plate at the boundary. We derive a priori estimates needed to prove the local-in-time existence of solutions. We use the Arbitrary Lagrange Euler (ALE) coordinates to fix the domain and obtain careful estimates for the nonlinear Koiter plate, ALE velocity, and pressure without any viscoelastic smoothing. For the nonlinear Koiter plate, higher order energy estimates are obtained, whereas estimates for the ALE pressure are obtained by setting up an elliptic problem. For the ALE velocity, the bounds are obtained through div-curl estimates by estimating the ALE vorticity. We then extend our results in two directions: (1) to include fractional Sobolev spaces and (2) to incorporate the normalized second fundamental form.

Exploring Societal Fears of Aging and Loss of Beauty in Disney Film “Tangled” and Indian Film “Yashoda”: A Feminist Film Analysis
Authors: Gopalakrishnan Bhuvaneswari , Borah Rashmi Rekha , Lakshmi M. Subbu
Published: December 2024

The fear of aging and the loss of beauty is a pervasive societal issue that transcends cultural boundaries, often manifesting in the media and film industry. This paper examines the 2010 animated film “Tangled” and an Indian Film “Yashoda” (2022) through a feminist lens, focusing on the themes of fears of aging and loss of beauty. It analyses how the antagonists, Gothel (Tangled) and Madhubala (Yashoda) navigate their journey in maintaining their beauty and youth which is a stereotypical expectation of the society. This study examines the portrayal of societal fears regarding aging and the loss of beauty through a feminist lens in the Disney film “Tangled” and the Indian film “Yashoda.” Both films, while culturally distinct, navigate the complex terrain of beauty standards, aging, and female autonomy. “Tangled” presents the narrative of Rapunzel, whose magical hair symbolizes youth and beauty, coveted by the antagonist, Mother Gothel, to prevent her own aging. This dynamic serves as a metaphor for the societal obsession with youth and the lengths to which individuals will go to preserve beauty.
The paper employs a feminist film analysis methodology to uncover how these narratives contribute to and critique the cultural discourse on aging and beauty. It investigates how the films’ portrayal of female villains against the backdrop of societal beauty standards speaks to larger themes of female agency, body autonomy, and the commodification of women’s bodies. By comparing the Western and Indian cinematic contexts, the study reveals the universal and culturally specific aspects of how women’s aging and beauty are depicted and the implications of these portrayals for feminist discourse. This analysis contributes to a broader understanding of how cinema reflects, reinforces, and challenges the societal fears of aging and loss of beauty.

Stress reduction in youth under
Authors: VLAS Irina
Published: December 2024

The article describes the effectiveness of a psychological intervention program aimed at reducing stress levels. The formative experiment included 24 young people with moderate to high levels of perceived stress: 12 in experimental group (EG) and 12 in control group (CG). Implementation of the intervention program in the experimental group resulted in a statistically significant reduction in stress levels, as evidenced by the analysis conducted using the Mann-Whitney U test for independent samples. The findings revealed significant differences between the retest results of the experimental group (GE retest) and the control group (GC retest) (U =14, p≤0.05). These statistically significant differences indicate that the changes observed in the experimental group participants were a direct outcome of the intervention program’s effectiveness. The observed improvements are due to a well-structured and comprehensive “kit” of psychological techniques that fostered self-knowledge, promoted the development of adaptive behaviors (such as courage, commitment, happiness, and optimism), and supported the effective regulation of both muscular tension and emotional states.
Insult as a challenge of modern linguistic expert practice
Authors: Karymsakova R. D.
Published: December 2024

The manuscript examines such an urgent issue in linguistics expertise of evaluating insults as a speech violation, primarily due to the lack of uniform methodological approaches in expert practice. The article identifies reasons for this state of affairs, pointing out problems from the late 90s to the early 2000s, such as the absence of a conceptual and terminological framework in linguistics expertise, unified terminology accepted among linguists, and the lack of unified principles, methods, and techniques for conducting expertise. The study reveals the problematic nature of assessing the indecency of a speech act as an act, which does not take into account such an important factor as people’s non-discrimination between the broad (ordinary) and narrow (legal) concepts of insult. Ignoring this phenomenon and using erroneous research approaches lead to contradictory expert and judicial practice and, as a result, to unjustified and unfair sentences. Based on this problem, it is said that it is necessary to develop an appropriate methodology as soon as possible to solve expert problems in cases of insult.

Prevention of Restenosis after Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: The Continuing Challenge
Authors: Lim V Y T , Chan C N S
Published: December 2024

Percutaneous coronary intervention with angioplasty and stenting is well established in the treatment of coronary artery disease. However, the many advances in technique and equipment over the last couple of decades have yet to significantly reduce the incidence of restenosis. This Achilles’ heel has necessitated frequent re-interventions and also introduced a new iatrogenic disease of in-stent restenosis. Brachytherapy and coated stents may be the answer to this difficult problem. Many papers have been published in the last few years on these two new modalities of treatment, and we review the evidence available so far. Early results show that brachytherapy significantly reduce the incidence of restenosis when used in restenotic lesions, and coated stents significantly reduce restenosis in de novo lesions. This early promise of brachytherapy and coated stents, if confirmed in longer-term studies, will represent a breakthrough in the battle against restenosis and may dramatically change the practice of interventional cardiology in the near future.

Authors: Lau K Y , Kan W K , Hou S M , Roebuck D J , Fung W T
Published: December 2024

Introduction: Renal artery pseudoaneurysms may arise as a complication of percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). Prompt recognition and treatment is essential to arrest haemorrhage which may be life threatening.

Clinical Picture: A patient with chronic aortic dissection and malrotated right kidney underwent PCNL for right renal calculus. He developed delayed gross haematuria.
Treatment: Angiography showed a pseudoaneurysm arising from one of two right renal arteries, which in turn arose from the false lumen of the aortic dissection. The supplying artery was successfully embolised.

Conclusion: Renal artery pseudoaneurysms can be successfully treated with prompt angiography and embolisation, even in the presence of renal malrotation and aortic dissection.
Medical Treatment of Osteoporosis—Increasing Options
Authors: Leong K H
Published: December 2024

Introduction: Many drugs are now available for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis. They have differing levels of evidence of efficacy and each may be used according to clinical indications.

Methods: A Medline search of clinical drug trials using various therapeutic agents used for osteoporosis was carried out.

Results: Several randomised controlled trials have been carried out using many agents. The agents with the best data to date with regards to the prevention of spine as well as hip fractures in patients with prevalent fractures belong to alendronate and risedronate. Parathyroid hormone has been shown in one trial to reduce the risk of non-vertebral fractures. For reduction of spine fractures, in addition to the above two bisphosphonates, many agents, in particular raloxifene, have been shown to be clearly beneficial. Weaker data exist for hormone replacement, calcitonin, cyclical etidronate and the vitamin D analogues calcitriol and alfacalcidol.

Conclusion: There are many therapeutic agents shown to be clearly effective in the treatment of osteoporosis.

Differentiation of Malignant Vertebral Collapse from Osteoporotic and Other Benign Causes Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Authors: Tan D Y L , Tsou I Y Y , Chee T S G
Published: December 2024

Introduction: Elderly patients presenting with backache and vertebral collapse are a diagnostic challenge. Plain X-rays, computed tomography and radionuclide bone scans have not always reliably distinguished between benign and malignant causes. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may be able to do so.

Materials and Methods: Patients who underwent MRI evaluation for vertebral collapse were retrospectively studied. Over a 21-month period from January 1995 to September 1996, 47 patients with 58 vertebral collapses were studied. Benign and malignant aetiologies were established by serial imaging, clinical outcome and histology. Imaging was performed with T1 and T2-weighted sequences, with contrast enhancement in some patients. Collapsed vertebrae were examined for appearance of marrow on T1 and T2-weighted sequences and after contrast administration, signal intensity of adjacent discs, degree of marrow involvement, involvement of posterior elements, presence or absence of paraspinal mass and end-plate integrity. Agreement between the final and radiological diagnosis was evaluated.

Results: There were 36 benign vertebral collapses (20 osteoporotic, 7 post-traumatic, 9 infective) and 22 malignant ones (20 metastatic carcinoma, 2 multiple myeloma). Features which pointed to malignant cause were hypointense marrow on T1-weighted images, marrow enhancement after intravenous contrast, greater than 50% marrow involvement and involvement of posterior elements. Of the vertebral collapses due to infection, 78% showed end-plate disruption.

Conclusions: This study shows that MRI can be used to accurately differentiate between benign and malignant causes of vertebral collapse. Further differentiation between an osteoporotic, traumatic or infective cause can be done with the help of clinical history and evaluation of end-plate integrity.

Authors: Romanenko N. A.
Published: December 2024

Introduction. Central venous catheter (CVC) provides intensive infusion and transfusion therapy in cancer patients, but catheter placement and operation are often associated with complications.

Objective. To determine the incidence of complications associated with CVC in patients with blood disorders.

Materials and methods. The study involved 3115 patients and 46 bone marrow donors. The right subclavian vein was catheterized in 2600 (82.2%) patients, the left subclavian vein in 552 patients (17.5%), and the internal jugular vein in 9 patients (0.3%). All persons underwent radiologic control; bacteriological blood examination was performed in case of suspected infection.

Results. Early revealed complications were: hematoma in 4.0% of patients; bleeding — in 2.3%; subclavian artery puncture — in 2.7%; pain and paresthesia of the upper limb — in 1.7%; lymphorrhea — in 1.4%; weakness / collapse — in 1.2%; extravasation — in 1.1%; catheter thrombosis — in 1.1%; less frequently, pneumothorax was detected in 0.2% of patients; allergic reaction to anesthetic — in 0.1%. Delayed complications (infiltrate, phlebitis, thrombophlebitis) were diagnosed in 2.7% of patients, bacteremia — in 2.4%, delayed bleeding — 0.4%. Among infections, Gram positive microorganisms were more frequently detected in 61.8% of cases, Gram negative in 29.7% (p < 0.01), and rarely fungal pathogens in 8.5% (p < 0.001). It was not possible to catheterize the central vein due to anatomical features of the patient in 0.5% of cases.

Conclusions. The analysis of trunk vein catheterization in patients with blood disorders established a high rate of hematomas, bleeding, subclavian artery punctures; among delayed complications, infiltrate, phlebitis, and bacteremia. Infectious complications demonstrated a prevalence of Gram-positive infectious agents.

Published: December 2024

Introduction. During their descent under water, divers may suffer from acute toothache attacks (barodentalgia), creating an emergency that leads to the termination of diving descent. Barodentalgia can be caused by hypoxic process in the pulp of filled teeth under increased intrapulpal pressure.

Objective. To reveal the peculiarities of hypoxic processes in the pulp of filled teeth under hyperbaric exposure basing on oximetry and fluorescence change parameters.

Мaterials and methods. The study involved 34 male divers who underwent a dental examination at the first stage to select individuals for the second stage of the experiment. 24 subjects were selected for the second stage and evaluated for oximetric (mixed blood saturation) and fluorescent (reduced coenzyme NADH, oxidized coenzyme FAD, fluorescent oxygen consumption index — FOCI) indices of filled teeth. The evaluation was performed by optical tissue oximetry (OTO) and laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) methods before and after immersion in a barocamera at pressure of 0.4 MPa while breathing air.

Results. Following exposure to increased pressure of the gas medium as compared to the initial values in the filled teeth, the following phenomena were observed: decrease in pulp saturation by 33.7% (p<0.05); increase in NADH by 14.4%; decrease in FAD by 22.9%; increase in FOD by 73.4% (p<0.05).

Conclusions. The revealed changes in the indicators of mixed blood saturation, NADH, FAD and FOCI confirm the presence of hypoxic process in the pulp of filled teeth under hyperbaric exposure.

Authors: Tian N. S. , Babachenko I. V. , Goleva O. V. , Zhelezova L. I. , Baziyan E. V. , Glotov O. S.
Published: December 2024

Introduction. Herpesvirus infections — in particular, those caused by human betaherpesvirus 6A/B (HHV-6A/C), are a serious problem at the present time due to their ubiquity, polymorphism of manifestations, lifelong persistence in the body with the possibility of reactivation, and need for comprehensive diagnostics to the form of infection. Herpesvirus infections are especially serious when occurring in children with recurrent respiratory diseases.

Objective. To propose a modern method of differential diagnosis (DD) of active and latent forms of HHV-6A/B infection in children to optimize patient management tactics.

Materials and methods. To build a discriminant model, 152 patients aged 1 month to 17 years inclusive were included in the study, 112 of them making up a training sample, while 40 comprised a test sample. A dichotomous variable was taken as a response variable: 1 — latent form of HHV-6A/B infection (n = 89), 2 — active (n = 23). 27 potential predictors were considered. The test sample consisted of 40 children. Statistical processing was performed using Microsoft Excel and StatSoft Statistica 7.0 

Results. The developed prognostic model of DD of active and latent forms of HHV-6A/B infection in children, which takes into account the severity of fever, the presence of cough, the absolute neutrophil count and the value of threshold cycles of HHV-6A/B DNA, is characterized by its high sensitivity (91.3%) and specificity (94.4%). The presented example reflects the step-by-step use of the model.

Work values make individuals interested and guide their behavior permanently, so our investigation is particularly important. Employees choose a workplace where they in accordance with their values. The purpose of our research was to explore the work value of students participating in the Talent Management Program of the University of Debrecen. Among our sub-goals was the investigation of whether intrinsic or extrinsic values are preferred. We conducted our own investigation using a questionnaire method, the Super work value questionnaire. A t-test was used to examine the difference between the rankings of women and men. Among the respondents, social relations, self-realization, variety and safety represent the most value. Aesthetics and control are considered less important. We recommend creating a working environment for employers that is characterized by close human relationships and diversity, where employees can take advantage of the opportunities provided by their creativity.

Ancorado no debate sobre medicalização, o objetivo deste estudo foi compreender as relações entre exercício físico e imunidade construídas em uma academia de musculação durante a pandemia de COVID-19. Foram trianguladas 12 entrevistas semiestruturadas aos(às) frequentadores(as) do estabelecimento com as publicações da academia em uma rede social. Para o tratamento dos dados, foram articuladas a análise de discurso e de imagens. Os resultados indicaram como os processos de medicalização constituíram, de forma múltipla, grande parte dos discursos êmico-imagéticos sobre exercício físico ante o contexto pandêmico. Conclui-se que aspectos biopsicossociais atravessam a ideia de imunidade e suas relações com o “exercitar-se” na musculação.

Bisalbuminemia is a rare qualitative anomaly, it is hereditary or acquired, transient and physiopathology remains a little unknown, characterized by the
occurrence of bicuspid electrophoretic pattern in the albumin fraction detected on serum electrophoresis. These albumin mutants also called alloalbumins
either have decreased mobility (slow type variants) or increased electrophoretic mobility (fast type variants).
Case Presentation: The study presents 6 cases of bisalbuminemias collected on 2083 serum protein electrophoresis carried out at the laboratory of
biochemistry of CHU Ibn Rochd of Casablanca over a spread period of one year (2018).
Conclusions: The results of serum protein electrophoresis of 6 reported cases showed bisalbuminemias which are all of acquired and transient type, of
which 3 cases are related to the drug intake of betalactamine antibiotic and the other 3 are related to the syndrome nephrotic.
Observance of Health Care Waste Management Performance Standards in Selected Hospitals
Authors:   Development Management Officer IV, Health Facility Development Bureau, Department of Health-Philippines, Ruiz Engr JP
Published: December 2024

Waste management must be given due priority to address the
increase in the generation of hazardous waste, especially infectious
waste to ensure the welfare of all users of health facilities. Climate
Crisis is a Health Crisis. Our health leaders are continually
challenged by the evolving issues and accelerating threats posed
by health care waste. Health is everybody’s business. Health
systems only work when everyone works together to ensure
that no one is left behind. It goes then without saying that this
stern reminder extends to our responsibility in health care waste
management. It is the responsibility of all hospitals and other
health facilities, firstly, as providers of accessible, quality health
care services, and secondly, as prudent and conscientious managers
of the waste that comes from the service provision. We must treat
waste management as the urgent and essential public service that
it is. “Health Care Waste” (HCW) includes all the solid and liquid
waste generated as a result of diagnosis, treatment, immunization
of human beings, research, and production of biological products,
among many others.

Endülüs’te emirler, halifeler ve üst düzey yöneticiler tarafından kurulan tarımsal alanlar, tarımın gelişimine büyük katkı sağlamıştır. Bu bölgeler adeta araştırma ve uygulama merkezleri olarak hizmet vermiş; yeni bitki türleri denenmiş, farklı tohumların ve bitkilerin ıslahı yapılmıştı. Bu alanlar sayesinde farklı coğrafyalardan getirilen yeni türlerin ilk denemeleri yapılmış, sonra da üretimleri yaygınlaştırılmıştı. Endülüs’te tarıma gösterilen ilgi ve sağlanan destekle birlikte, sulama sistemleri de gelişmiş, bu da ürün çeşitliliğinin artmasına, ürünlerin kalitesi yükselmesine ve verimliliğin artmasına yol açmıştır. Endülüs tarımında yeni tarım tekniklerinin kullanılması da dönemin önemli bir özelliği olmuştu. Sulama tekniklerinin gelişmesi ve sulu tarımın yaygınlaşması, bu dönemin belirgin özelliği olmuştur. Bu dönemde Müslümanların kullandığı en önemli teknikler nelerdir? Endülüs’teki Müslümanlar, su kaynaklarının paylaşımı ve çevresindeki anlaşmazlıkların adil bir şekilde çözülmesi için tipik adaletli yasal çerçeveyi belirlediler mi? Endülüs’te tarım ve sulama alanında adlarını duyurmuş önde gelen bilim insanları kimlerdir? Onlar bize hangi medeniyet mirası ve eserleri bıraktılar? Bu makale Endülüs’te tarım ve sulama politikalarının işlevselliğini ele alarak bu ve benzeri sorulara cevap aramaktadır.
Ezârika'nın İsti‘râz Uygulaması ve Dârülharp Etkisi
Authors: Sansarkan Yusuf
Published: December 2024

Tahkim hadisesinde çağrı Kurʼan'a yapıldığı halde hakemliği iki insanın yapacağı anlaşılınca, Hâricî zihniyettekiler Allah'ın hükmünün uygulanma-dığını savunmaya başlamıştır. Hz. Ali'ye tabi oldukları için hükmün uygu-lanmasını ondan isteyen Hâricîler, istediklerini alamayınca koparak ayrı bir grup kurmuştur. Hâricîler Allah'ın hükmünü kusursuz işlemek için çıktıkları yolda, kendileri gibi düşünmeyenlerin kanını helal saymıştır. 64/683 yılında, bir bölünme sonucu doğan Ezârika isimli Hâricî grup, yaşadıkları yerleri dârülislâm, Müslümanların yaşadığı diğer toprakları dârülharp kabul etmiş ve dârülharptekileri kim olduğuna bakmadan katletmiştir. Çalışmanın ama-cı, Ezârika'nın Müslümanlara yönelik eylemlerinde dârülharbin etkisine de-ğinmektir. Erken dönemde Müslümanlara korku ve dehşet saçan zihniyetin yok olmaması ve günümüze kadar devam etmesi, konu üzerine yapılan ça-lışmaları önemli hale getirmektedir. Araştırma isti‘râzın ne olduğu, nasıl uygulandığı ve dârülharple ilişkisi çerçevesinde, Muhakkime-i Ûlâ ve Ezâri-ka örnekleriyle sınırlandırılmıştır. Araştırma, öldürme eğilimindeki Hâricîle-rin ilk etapta insanların tahkime karşı olup olmadıklarını anlamak amacıyla sorguladığı ve karşı olmayanları öldürdüğü; Ezârika'nın kuruluşundan son-ra ise kendi toprakları dışındaki yerleri dârülharp kabul ederek dışarıda ka-lanlardan güç yetirebildiğini sorgusuzca katlettiği sonuçlarına ulaşmıştır.

Kekristenan memiliki bagian-bagian yang kompleks untuk dipahami dan dijalani. Kekristenan tidak hanya ikut-ikutan kata orang atau sebagai agama saja, namun kekristenan lebih kepada teladan hidup sebagai seorang pengikut Kristus. Seorang Kristen harus terus bertumbuh menjadi lebih baik dalam hal urusan rohani maupun keterampilan lainnya, termasuk membangun wirausaha maupun bisnis yang berlandaskan kebenaran atau berpusat pada Kristus. Berdasarkan observasi, persekutuan kaum wanita GSJA Gracious Agape Jambe sudah rutin dilaksanakan tetapi dilaksanakan secara monoton hanya berbentuk ibadah dengan kegiatan memuji Tuhan, berdoa dan mendengarkan firman Tuhan dan kunjungan. Kegiatan rutin yang monoton dapat menyebabkan kebosanan dan penurunan minat atau semangat.
