Prevalence of cholesterol crystals in periradicular granulomas of endodontic origin
Authors: Zmener Osvaldo , de Luca Romina , Della Porta Roberto
Published: November 2023

Objetivos: Identificar y determinar la prevalencia de cristales de colesterol (CRCo) en granulomas perirradiculares de origen endodóntico y el tipo de reacción que provocan en los tejidos circundantes.

Material y métodos: Se estudiaron con microscopía óptica 75 preparados histológicos de archivo pertenecientes a lesiones perirradiculares humanas correspondientes a piezas dentarias que habían recibido un tratamiento endodóntico previo y que, según los informes que acompañaban las muestras, habían sido obtenidas mediante una apicectomía. Del total, 68 muestras fueron diagnosticadas como granulomas, mientras que los 7 restantes se diagnosticaron como quistes inflamatorios y fueron descartadas.

Resultados: 39 granulomas pertenecían a pacientes de sexo femenino con presencia de CRCo en el 58,97% de los casos.

Los 29 granulomas restantes pertenecían al sexo masculino y presentaron CRCo en un 41,37%. La mayor proporción de CRCo fue hallada en granulomas pertenecientes a pacientes mayores de 62 años. Los CRCo se observaron rodeados de macrófagos y células gigantes multinucleadas, provocando una reacción a cuerpo extraño. También se observaron células espumosas en áreas circundantes.

Conclusiones: La presencia de CRCo en granulomas perirradiculares de origen endodóntico provoca una reacción a cuerpo extraño que puede interferir con el proceso de reparación posendodóntico especialmente en pacientes de edad avanzada.

Palabras clave: Colesterol, endodoncia, granulomas periapicales.

/Aim: Identify and determine the prevalence of cholesterol crystals (CRCo) in periradicular granulomas of endodontic origin and the type of reaction they produce in the surrounding tissues.

Material and methods: 75 archival histological preparations were studied with optical microscopy. They belonged to human periradicular lesions corresponding to teeth that had received a previous endodontic treatment and that, according to the reports accompanying the samples, had been obtained by an apicoectomy. Of the total, 68 samples were diagnosed as granulomas, while the remaining 7 were diagnosed as inflammatory cysts and were discarded.

Results: 39 granulomas corresponded to female patients in which the presence of CRCo was observed in 58.97% of the cases. The remaining 29 granulomas were from male patients and showed CRCo in 41.37% of the cases. The highest proportion of CRCo was found in patients over 62 years of age.

The CRCo were surrounded by macrophages and multinucleated giant cells causing a foreign body reaction. Foam cells were also observed in the surrounding areas.

Conclusions: The presence of CRCo in periradicular granulomas of endodontic origin could be a factor interfering with periapical healing after conventional endodontic therapy, especially in elderly patients.

Key words: Cholesterol, endodontics, periapical granulomas.

Feyerabend: The Most Valuable Philosopher of the Twentieth Century
Authors: Munévar Gonzalo , Munévar Gonzalo , McMurray Phillip
Published: November 2023

This chapter will argue that Paul K. Feyerabend is the most valuable philosopher of the twentieth century. Given the extraordinary importance of science in the twentieth century, the most valuable philosopher of the century should be someone who has given us the most significant understanding of the nature of science and its impact on the rest of the human experience — Feyerabend did precisely that. I will contrast his accomplishments with those of other important philosophers such as Kuhn, Popper, Wittgenstein, Heidegger, Rawls, Carnap, Quine, Russell, and Dewey. Of critical importance in this regard will be Feyerabend’s case for theoretical pluralism, which overturned key ideas from analytical philosophy by demonstrating that all scientific rules, no matter how sound and empirically fruitful, must allow for exceptions. Science as we know it could not have progressed without scientists breaking well-established methodological norms. He argues, with Galileo, that observation assumes theory. As Feyerabend tells us, “We need a dream-world in order to discover the features of the real world we think we inhabit (and which may actually be just another dream-world)”.

Fostering ego development through group coaching in a postgraduate program
Authors: Peters Björn
Published: November 2023

Objectives

Literature review evidences several studies on structured programs to promote ego development, but none use a group coaching approach although impact factors and effectiveness of group coaching appear well-suited to potentially foster ego development. This study aims to address the void by examining effects of a group coaching program (that also includes peer coaching) on ego development in a postgraduate program of a German University.

Design

We conducted an intervention study that is based on ego development theory, the (cognitive-) developmental approach to coaching, and a theory-based conceptual framework to ego development. We applied different coaching tools in the program that addressed ego stage-specific development issues, e.g. reflection and development of multiplicity of self-concepts, and underlying beliefs and meaning systems.

Methods

The program consisted of twenty-nine participants who self-selected and were drafted via lottery. The coaching program extended over ten weeks. Ego development was assessed using the Washington University Sentence Completion Test (WUSCT) eight weeks before the coaching program (pretest) and again ten weeks after it began (posttest). Pairwise t-tests were applied to test whether the mean values of ego stage are different at pretest and posttest.

Results

Findings suggest that the group coaching program fostered ego development. Compared to pretest ego level was significantly higher at posttest. The program was more effective for participants at the self-aware ego stage than for coachees at the conscientious ego stage at pretest.

Conclusions

The findings provide empirical support that group coaching can promote ego development in adults. In addition to the specific design and the impact factors of group and peer coaching on ego development we consider the relationship with the coachees and the creation of a trusting and shame-free space important impact factors. Considering the high demand for the program from the post-graduate students, group coaching for advancement of ego development should be considered as an important part of the curriculum. More research is needed and should include larger sample size, a control group, and should control for factors such as coaching setting or role of coach.

Systematized and reliable analytical methods are always of great advantage for the quality control of new drug products. Two new analytical methods were developed and validated using the multivariate approach to quantify a unique combination of aspirin and pantoprazole sodium. In the first method, emphasis was on non-destructive identification with quantification of aspirin and pantoprazole at their characteristic diffused reflectance-based infrared absorption band at 1747cm-1(-C=O) and 1303cm-1 (-S-O), respectively. The second method relies on liquid chromatographic separation using a mobile phase of acetonitrile: phosphate buffer pH 3.5 (60:40 V/V) at a flow rate of 1.0 mL min-1 using a C-18 column. At 240 nm, the diode array detection was performed. Employing risk assessment revealed the risky method parameters that may influence the preciseness of the present methods. Nevertheless, these techniques were linear, sensitive and reliable for the quick and simultaneous measurement of the analytes in bulk and proposed fixed-dose commercial formulation.

Published: November 2023

Introduction: Newcastle disease is a viral disease caused by virulent Newcastle disease virus (NDV) strains infecting avian species worldwide. Infected birds may show signs of loss of appetite, coughing, gasping, nasal discharge, watery eyes, and nervous signs such as paralysis and convulsions. The disease is spread primarily through direct contact between healthy birds and the bodily discharges of infected birds. The study assessed knowledge, attitudes, and practices on Newcastle disease prevention among small-scale poultry farmers in Lusaka West, Zambia. Materials and methods: A quantitative descriptive cross-sectional study design, was used and the study was conducted in five areas of Lusaka West. Probability sampling method was utilized to select a sample size of 384 poultry farmers. Closed-ended structured questionnaires were used to collect data which was analyzed using descriptive analysis. Results: The study showed that the respondents had a good level of knowledge (58.8%); positive attitudes (71.1%); and positive practices (73.2%) on Newcastle disease prevention. Conclusion: The obtained results could be attributed to the levels of experience and fear of losing business profits due to bird mortalities as well as the level of experience most respondents had in poultry farming. This was observed by the significant association between knowledge and experience (p-value - 0.004). This calls for the promotion of awareness and knowledge on the importance of vaccination of birds as a means of prevention for Newcastle disease and enhancing Newcastle disease detection and control through rapid test kits & others.

This study aimed to evaluate processing methods of velvet beans (Mucuna pruriens) as a protein supplement in concentrates for cross-bred dairy cows on smallholder farms in Zambia. The beans were harvested by pulling entire plants after drying in the field, and divided into three portions; (i) whole crop consisting of vines, pods and grains; (ii) unshelled pods only, and (iii) grain only. Each portion was ground to pass through a 2mm screen before using it to make concentrate for the feeding trial. Prior to preparation of rations, samples from each portion were collected for determination of nutrient composition. Each ration was fed to a group of crossbreed milking cows maintained a farm to monitor performance. Chemical composition analysis showed that shelled grains had more nutrients than the pods and vines. Milking cows readily accepted all the prepared rations, and maintained constant milk production throughout the study period. None of the animals on the trial exhibited any sign of ill health.This showed that velvet beans could be fed to milking cows by incorporating ground pods with other ingredients without adversely affecting animal health or milk production.
Philosophical Foundations of Migration Law
Authors: Waldron Jeremy
Published: November 2023

This paper considers the philosophical foundations of the law relating to migration. It examines the kinds of reasons that might justify the restriction of liberty as people move about on the face of the earth—something humans have done since time immemorial. The paper also examines the various interests that might be at stake in moral calculations regarding migration: economic interests, cultural interests, religious interests, or just sheer preferences. Drawing on the work of Locke, Kant, and Sidgwick, it considers conceptions like common ownership of the earth, the right of hospitality, and the difference between defending property and restricting access to economic interaction. The paper also considers the ambiguity of the commonly heard slogan that states by definition have a right to control their borders.

The purpose of this study is to explain the views of the Munakahat Fik people on Sasak traditional marriages in the area of the Department of Religion, Pringabya District, East Lombok. It then describes the traditions of the Meralik tribe of the Sasak tribe of East Lombok. In this case, the subject of the survey is the Sasak people of East Lombok Island, and the subject of the survey is their view of Islam using a qualitative method. As a result of the study, the authors concluded that the Meralik tradition of the Sasak people of Lombok in the Pringabaya district of the East Lombok Religious Affairs Authority (KUA) consists of several stages. (1) Middle. (Visits her future wife in front of the house) Here there is an agreement between the two parties to kidnap her wife or have her husband take her away. (2) The man must kidnap (run away) the bride. (3) The man must report the elopement to the chief of the village where the bride lives, the so-called Serval. (4) Payment of deposit and dowry money. (5) Conducting weddings in Islamic style. (6) A type of marriage payment common among the Sasak people of Lombok is called Sorong Sera. (7) Nyongkolan, a women's accompaniment to her family and strolling through the village to traditional Lombok music. The correct practice of melalik is very legal in terms of legality since in melalik the conditions and pillars are fulfilled according to Islamic law. Apart from what is not justified, namely the process of marriage proposal, the process of marriage proposal in the melalik tradition in Islam is very different and this tradition can be harmful.

Toleransi dan Prinsip-prinsip Hubungan Antarumat Beragama dalam Perspektif Dakwah Islam
Authors: Khoir Mulyanto Abdullah , Anshory Muhammad Isa
Published: November 2023

Hidup berdampingan meski berbeda agama bukan hal baru dalam perjalanan bangsa Indonesia. Para pendahulu republikpun telah memberikan contoh nyata toleransi dalam kehidupan berbangsa dan bernegara. Namun demikian, problem-problem toleransi masih sering kita jumpai dalam kehidupan sehari-hari. Termasuk kesalahpahaman dalam memahami makna toleransi yang berakibat kesalahan dalam interaksi dan hubungan antar umat beragama. Dengan latar belakang inilah penelitian ini dibuat. Penelitian ini mencoba melihat berbagai fenomena sosial yang terjadi terkait hubungan antar umat beragama dengan dinamikanya serta mendeskripsikannya berdasarkan data-data yang diperoleh, baik data terkait subyek secara individu, kelompok, lembaga maupun masyarakat. Dari penelitian tersebut dapat disimpulkan bahwa Islam sangat menjaga toleransi, menghormati hak-hak manusia dan menempatkan dalamderajat yang tinggi dan mulia. Karena itu, perlu adanya kesepahaman bersama dengan asas saling menghormati dan menghargai satu dengan lainnya. Juga perlu langkah-langkah praktis untukmembangun toleransi yang bermartabat agar hubungan antar umat beragama terjalin harmonis tidak saling curiga dan penuh dengan kebersamaan. Beberapa langkah tersebut adalah: 1). Saling menghormati dan menghargai keyakinan orang lain tanpa harus mencampuradukkan keyakinan tersebut. 2). Membangun saling menghormati dan menghargai dengan menghilangkan sikap saling curiga. 3). Membangun masyarakat dengan keyakinan bahwa keragaman adalah kekayaan bangsa Indonesia. 4). Bersama-sama menatap masa depan untuk kemajuan dan kemakmuran masyarakat Indonesia. 5). Banyak melakukan dialog karena banyak-titik-titik persamaan untuk kemaslahatan berbangsa dan bernegara, bukan untuk mencari titik perbedaan apalagi mempertentangkannya.

Extensive research in the past has explored the relationship between game addiction and various mental problems, but there is limited research in this area in Chinas cultural environment. This study explored the impact of depression, aggression, and perceived stress on Internet Gaming Disorder (IGD) among young adults in China with Spearman analysis and multiple linear regression. This paper hopes to contribute to solving the increasingly common IGD (Internet gaming addiction). Findings revealed a positive correlation between depression, aggression, and IGD, with both depression and aggression serving as significant predictors. Yet, there wasnt a significant correlation between perceived stress and IGD. The model elucidates 20.5% of the variance in gaming dependency, underscoring the multifaceted nature of IGD and hinting at the presence of a myriad of other contributing determinants. These results underscore the importance of considering mental health in identifying and addressing IGD, while also highlighting the need for further research, particularly regarding cultural differences in stress coping mechanisms and deciding the causal relationship between mental issues and IGD.

Authors: Xu Zihan
Published: November 2023

Glioblastoma(GBM), as a common kind of brain cancer, has a poor prognosis and a recurrence rate of nearly 100 percent. Tumor immune microenvironment is a crucial factor for glioblastoma progression. Some prognostically relevant genes in the immunologic microenvironment of glioblastoma remain to be further explored. This article aims to ascertain genes involved in the immune microenvironment of glioblastoma, and this topic has not been identified before. R version 4.2.1 and the appropriate packages were used for all analyses in this paper. Relevant transcriptomic data for GBMs as well as clinical data were extracted from immune score data in the TCGA database, and stromal score data were acquired from this URL (http://www.cbioportal.org/). Differentially expressed genes were obtained from immune score data and Stromal score data. After intersections of all these genes, the PPI interaction network was applied. According to functional analysis, these genes are intensively distributed in immune-related pathways. Eventually LncRNAs co-expressing with immune-related genes were positively identified. We characterized genes related to the GBM tumor microenvironment not previously identified in similar studies, as well as some lncRNAs that co-expressed with these immune genes
