Published: November 2022

Oral cavity hygiene has gained significance in recent years. Dental plaque is the community of microorganisms found on tooth surface as bio-film embedded in matrix of polymers of host and bacterial origin.Dental plaque is considered to be main causative factor for both dental caries as well periodontal disease. Although mechanical oral hygiene at home remains single most reliable means of cleaning teeth, however majority of people do not carry out regular activities like brushing daily due to unawareness of correct brushing techniques as well as duration hence use of mouth rinses has been widely advocated as an adjunctive treatment.Variety of antimicrobial mouthwashes are being used to treat plaque causing microorganisms however many times these mouthwashes are known give rise to adverse oral manifestations such as altered taste sensations soreness of oral mucosa/ tongue discoloration as well as staining.Herbal extracts have been used in traditional medicine for several thousand years as they are cheap and have little side effects.Herbal Medicine is still mainstay of about 75 to 80% world population mainly in developing countries for primary health care because of general belief that herbal drugs are without side effects besides cheap and locally available. According to World Health Organization, the use of herbal remedies throughout world exceeds that of the conventional drugs by two to three times.This article aims at brief description of common herbs such as Curcuma Longa, Acacia Arabica, Azadirachta indica Cymbopogon Citratus, Ocimum Sanctum, Salvadora Persica, Acacia Catechu, Aloe Barbadensis, Juglans Regia, Guaijaverin and their use. Herbs may appear to potential alternative to current treatment modalities however more research is required.

Since Trichomonas vaginalis (T. vaginalis) only manifests as a trophozoite stage during sex, it is typically transmitted during sex as a trophozoite. The purpose of this study was to determine the concentrations of copper, iron, and Eosinophil cationic protein (ECP) in vaginitis patients. Between July and November 2021, 355 suspected patients who visited the AL-Zahra maternity and pediatrics laboratory in the AL-Najaf region (Iraq) and 30 healthy respondents of the same age participated in the study. According to the manufacturer's instructions, the ELISA technique was used to measure the levels of three biomarkers in serum (copper, iron, and ECP). On the other hand, the colorimetric approach was used to measure the copper concentration. The investigation showed that in the blood sample of T. vaginalis-infected patients, the amounts of copper and iron considerably decreased (P > 0.05). In contrast, the serum levels of ECP considerably increased (P > 0.05) when compared to the control group. As a result of the T. vaginalis infection, copper levels in the blood are dramatically impacted, according to the current study's findings. The current study results suggested that the T. vaginalis infection alters serum iron and ECP concentrations, significantly affecting copper levels in the blood.

The aim of the study is to examine the dynamic balance order in women in the context of age, height, body weight, body mass index (BMI), leg length, waist and hip circumference measurement values. Thirty-five female volunteers with a mean age of 39.03 ± 7.51 years were included in the study. Participants' ages, heights, body weights, BMI, leg lengths, waist and hip circumference values were determined. Again, the balance values reached on the Anteroposterior (AP) axis and the balance values reached on the Horizontal axis (ML) were determined, including the right, left and double feet of the participants. In the analysis of the data obtained, descriptive and anova tests were used in the SPSS 22 package program. Among the dynamic balance types, it was determined that only the bilateral AP balance level of the participants differed significantly according to the age variable (p= 0.015) and the right foot AP balance level differed significantly according to the body weight (p= 0.030). It was revealed that the balance types in question did not differ significantly (p<0.05) in all other anthropometric characteristics evaluated. As a result, it was determined that the left foot AP and ML balance values in the variables included in the study were at the level of normal or ideal balance values. On the other hand, the AP and ML balance values of the right foot were generally found to be at the level of weak balance values.

Published: November 2022

This study was carried out in order to determine the sports consumer profile of the officers, non-commissioned officers and specialist sergeants from the Turkish Armed Forces in the Istanbul garrison.114 military personnel voluntarily participated in the study. Polatcan (2020), in his doctoral study, revealed 31 items in the consumer profiling study, with a 5-point Likert scale (Strongly Disagree, Disagree, Undecided, Agree, Totally Agree) and 5 sub-dimensions (Socialization, Brand, Entertainment, Participation and Media). “Sports Consumer Scale” was used. Since the distributions were normal, One Way ANOVA, Independent T test and multiple correlation analysis were used as parametric tests. No significant difference was found according to the factors affecting the sports consumption of military personnel according to age, monthly income, place of being affected in purchasing and regular sports. However, significant differences were found in the entertainment factor affecting sports consumption according to TAF status, and the difference showed that it was due to the specialist sergeants. In addition, significant differences were found in the participation factor that affects sports consumption according to the purchasing factor. The difference arises from those who buy from the store. Differences were observed between the participation factor in sports consumption and it was determined that the scores of those who do not use credit cards are also higher than those who use them.As a result, there is a negative correlation between the age (r=-.22) of the entertainment factor affecting the sports consumption of military personnel and a low level of positive correlation (r=.21) with the TAF status. There is a low-level positive relationship between purchasing imitations of sports products brands and socialization (r=.19), and a moderately positive relationship between the brand sub-dimension (r=.45). There is a negative correlation between the use of a credit card while purchasing sports products and the participation sub-dimension (r=-.19).

The costs of remediating one cubic metre of agricultural drainage water with the DHS technology totaled LE 1.03, and the amounts of remediated agricultural drainage water used to irrigate green beans grown in a soil ecosystem remediated with either microorganisms or clay minerals was reduced by 50% and 28.6% of their treasury, respectively. The net return per feddan under irrigation with remediated agricultural drainage water reached 261 percent over its counterpart irrigated with non-remediated agricultural drainage water, and the cost of each ton produced decreased under irrigation with remediated agricultural drainage water to LE 35,720. This represents 83 % more for plants grown in non-remediated soil ecosystem and irrigated with non-remediated agricultural drainage water. In comparison to its counterpart irrigated with non-remediated agricultural drainage water and grown in non-remediated soil ecosystem or in soil ecosystems remediated with either microorganisms or clay minerals respectively, the profitability of each pound spent on the production of green beans increased in soil ecosystems irrigated with remediated agricultural drainage water by 201, 99, and 126 %. For a non-remediated soil ecosystem, the return on investment per pound spent on remediating agricultural drainage water was LE 5.17; for a non-remediated soil ecosystem treated with microorganisms, LE 9.8; and for a non-remediated soil ecosystem treated with clay minerals, LE 15.58.

Individuals may commit cyberbullying actions (insult, slander, etc.) to the other party, especially by using technological communication tools (phone, blogs, etc.). It is very important to be conscious of these cyberbullying acts. Therefore, the aim of this study is to investigate the strategies of university students studying in sports sciences to cope with cyberbullying. The universe of this research consists of university students studying at the faculties of sports sciences. The sample group consists of 200 students studying at Dokuz Eylül University Necat Hepkon Faculty of Sports Sciences. Stratified random sampling, one of the random sampling methods, was used. The “Coping with Virtual Bullying Scale” developed by Koç et al., (2016) was used as a data collection tool. SPSS 28.0 program was used in the analysis of the data. Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Shapiro Wilk test was used to determine the normality of the obtained data, and Independent T-Test was used to compare the variables. In the findings; A significant difference was found between male and female students in the sub-dimensions of Cognitive Security, Help-Seeking and Information-Seeking (p0.05). The significant difference in the sub-dimensions is in favor of female students. A high level of significant difference was found among students' daily internet use in the sub-dimensions of Help Seeking and Information Seeking (p0.05). The significant difference in the sub-dimensions is in favor of students who use the internet for 5 hours or more. In the Ignoring sub-dimension, there was a significant difference according to the number of social media accounts (p0.05). The significant difference is in favor of students who have 2 or more social media accounts. In the sub-dimensions of Help Seeking, Ignoring and Information Seeking, a significant difference was found between keeping social media identity confidential (p0.05). In all dimensions where a significant difference occurred (Help Seeking 18.8±3.90, Ignoring 14.0±3.25, Information Seeking 22.7±1.00) the average was in favor of students who kept their social media accounts private. As a result; It is recommended that social and academic studies be carried out to increase awareness of cyberbullying, especially among young people.

Background: N-Nitrosodibutylamine possess the ability to induce bladder tumor as well as in the liver, and oesophagus when it is administered in the body.Exposure to N-Nitrosodibutylamine can happen by different modes such as by ingestion,inhalation and dermal contact.Methods:In the present investigation an attempt has been done to identify ,isolate as well to purify the tumor associated antigens (TAA) from the liver mitochondria of the mice when exposed to N-Nitrosodibutylamine.Results:It was found that mitochondrial membrane protein of N-Nitrosodibutylamine-exposed animals exhibited differential expression of protein when compared with the control animals. A low molecular weight (~14 kDa) protein was found to be over expressed significantly on liver mitochondrial membrane upon N-Nitrosodibutylamine exposure in mice as compared with the normal control and identified as TAA,showing the sign that some of the proteins could be used as TAA for further study.Conclusion: These identification of TAAs will provide the basis for the use of mitochondria as markers for the early detection for the treatment of liver cancer.

The survey study was based on sample of mobile phone users in Enugu metropolitan city in South Eastern Nigeria. The respondents were randomly chosen from the four mobile operators in Nigeria (MTN, GLO, Airtel and 9mobile). Respondents must have used the mobile service for at least one year in other to participate in the survey. Out of the total 300 copies of distributed questionnaires, 250 were found useable in the final analysis, which accounted for 83% response rate. All the items were modified to suit the context of the current study. It was found that reliability of a telecom provider has the greatest effect on satisfaction which is statistically significant. Surprisingly responsiveness showed a negative relationship with loyalty, which indicated that responsiveness of a network provider has no statistical effect on customer loyalty. Implications on theory and practice are discussed.

Background: The main goal of BCS after NAC is complete excision of the tumor with clear margin, however, no clear definition of what constitutes a clear margin has been proposed. An additional challenge for surgeons is the extent of resection especially in good responders to NAC. The aim of this study was to determine the impact of margin width on local recurrence after breast conservative surgery for patients who responded to neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Patients and Methods: This study is a prospective observational cohort study conducted at the National Cancer Institute, Cairo university, Egypt. The study included 75 Egyptian female breast cancer patients who responded to NAC and then assigned to BCS in the period from October 2019 till October 2020. Patients were assessed with regular appointments at the outpatient clinics up to 2 years follow up after surgery.Results: The mean age was 43.8±9.5 years and 65.3 % of patients were in the premenopausal status. All patients (75 cases) had either cT2 or cT3 disease. Clinical nodal disease (cN1-3) was found in 68 patients (90.7%). Radiologic complete response was seen in 31 patients (41.3%). Most patients (85.3%) had a least circumferential margin of more than 2 mm. Positive nodal involvement was confirmed in 22 patients (29.3%). Over 70% of patients had ypT stage 1c or 2 and over 60 % of patients had ypN stage 0. By the end of follow up, four patients developed local recurrence. The unadjusted local recurrence rate was 5.3% and cumulative local recurrence free survival of the whole studied group at 36 months was 94.6%. The least circumferential resection margin (2mm) had no impact on local recurrence free survival.Conclusion: Margin after NAC and BCS is safe according to ‘‘no ink on tumor’’ guideline and we emphasize the resection of the clipped area in cases of cCR and/or rCR, however, further studies with larger sample size and longer duration of follow up are required to mitigate the local recurrence after BCS following NAC.

The concept of the Internet of Things (IoT) is an innovation paradigm that suggests linking physical devices together to share data and work toward a common goal. Nodes in an IoT network are anticipated to communicate with one another and with third-party Internet services. However, not all network nodes have direct Internet access due to high deployment costs. As a result, additional network nodes should be using Internet-connected nodes as gateways to transmit data to online services. Due to its central role in establishing connections between nodes in a network and distributing data packets, routing protocols have emerged as a significant challenge in IoT use cases. The work of routing is complicated in mobile IoT scenarios due to the topology changes brought on by the mobility of nodes. To better handle the mobile nature of the devices, existing Iot routing solutions typically exhibit severe constraints and poor performance in such cases. This study proposes an improvement to the existing protocols; the Cluster Formation Protocol with Neuro Fuzzy Rules, in light of the fact that main routing techniques for low-power network are unable to achieve adequate performance in the shown IoT context. The energy efficiency of the routing process in WSN can be improved with the help of cluster based routing thanks to the proposed efficient routing algorithms. In addition, the efficiency of clustering & cluster based routing protocols can be enhanced by employing intelligent approaches like fuzzy rules, temporal constraints, and categorization via deep learning. Therefore, the safe transfer of data packets from of the source point to the sink node necessitates careful consideration in the development of cluster dependent routing algorithms. The cluster dependent routing method presented is developed, evaluated with respect to a number of criteria, and shown to be effective.
