FORDYCE GRANULES AS A POTENTIAL CHAIRSIDE CLINICAL PREDICTOR FOR
HYPERCHOLESTEROLEMIA: A CROSS-SECTIONAL STUDY
Authors: Shreejha Vasudevan Shreejha Vasudevan , Syam Shilpa , Ravikumar Ramesh
Published: January 2025

Background: Fordyce’s granules (FGs) are ectopic sebaceous glands commonly located in the oral cavity, appearing most frequently on the buccal mucosa, vermilion border of the lips, and occasionally in the retromolar areas. Owing to its lipid content, there has been conjecture regarding a potential connection between FGs and dyslipidemia, a disorder characterized by elevated lipid levels that may be linked to
ectopic lipid deposits in different tissues.
Aim: The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to ascertain whether Fordyce's granules could be used as a chair side clinical marker to identify those who are at risk for dyslipidemia.
Methods: The cross-sectional study was carried out at Saveetha Dental College and Hospitals in Chennai over the course of a year, from June 2023 to May 2024. 100 adult dental patients between the ages of 18 and 60 were examined clinically by an oral medicine specialist to determine whether Fordyce granules were present. Every participant had their blood drawn in order to determine their lipid levels. Analysis was
performed on the data to determine predictors for hypercholesterolemia.
Results: Patients with detectable oral FG had a mean age of 50.2 ± 12.3 years. A mean total cholesterol of 250.3 ± 41.7 mg/dL (p <0.001) and mean HDL cholesterol value of 42.0 ± 8.1 mg/dL (p < 0.05) were seen to be associated with presence of FG with statistical significance. The odds ratio (1.083) indicates that for every unit increase in TC, the odds of FG increase by 8.3%.
Conclusion: The presence of oral Fordyce granules may indicate increased total cholesterol predisposing individuals to hypercholesterolemia. Factors such as age, smoking, and diabetes mellitus showed no association between Fordyce granules and lipid profiles.Previously regarded as a normal anatomical variation, fordyce granules should be considered in conjunction with other risk factors to identify possible dyslipidemia.
CYSTIC LESIONS OF THE SALIVARY GLANDS(Report of 3 cases)
Authors: Poghosyan Yuri , Khachatryan Anna , Hambardzumyan Tsovinar
Published: January 2025

At least one-third of cystic salivary gland lesions are neoplastic. Cystic lesion of the salivary gland requires only surgery, because regardless of the type and location, drug therapy is not possible with this diagnosis.. If the cystic neoplasm is localized in a hard-to-reach place and if it is localized in the parotid gland, the surgical manipulation is performed from the outside, it is removed simultaneously with the parenchyma of the salivary gland. The FNA specimens from salivary gland cystic lesions can be no informative very often, because FNA of these lesions demonstrates hypocellular mucinous material contents, possibly with inflammatory cells and also scant epithelial cells. For example, the presence of mucin and admixed lymphocytes in cyst fluid can be demonstrated both in the benign inflammatory cysts and cystic neoplasms. A definitive diagnosis of cystic neoplasms of the salivary glands is possible only through histological examination of the neoplastic tissue. Prevention of cystic neoplasms of the salivary gland consists of preventing injuries and inflammations of the oral cavity, careful hygiene and regular visits to the dentist. This article presents cases of the salivary glands cystic neoplasms, which are the clinical interest.

Published: January 2025

Canine oophoritis is a rare ovarian pathology that has been reported to cause infertility. However, diagnostic work-up, treatment options, and prognosis of return to fertility after treatment for oophoritis were not reported. We report oophoritis in a dog that was diagnosed via histopathology after hemiovariectomy; diagnostic tests, treatment, and outcome of fertility are included and compared to other domestic species and women. Additionally, pathophysiology and prognostic outcome of oophoritis in women are discussed in the context of future directions and possible avenues of investigation in canine oophoritis.
Was Environmental Ethics a Mistake?
Authors: Maskit Jonathan ,   Center for Environmental Philosophy, The University of North Texas
Published: January 2025

Steven Vogel’s work makes two main points: 1) environmental philosophy should be about environments that are always, at least partially, human built, rather than about a nonhuman nature and 2) environmental problems require collective political solutions rather than individual ethical ones. This paper addresses both themes, although its primary focus is on the second. It presents a sort of genealogy of environmental ethics, which seeks to answer the question, why, given the obviously political character of environmental problems, have English-language environmental philosophers focused so intently on ethics? It is argued the dominance of environmental ethics amongst philosophers reflects an uninvestigated commitment to liberal, individualist, political principles. That is, the implicit rejection of politics in favor of ethics is itself a (tacit) political decision with real political and environmental ramifications. I then turn to Vogel’s work, in which he commits an analogous, but lesser, mistake, accepting Jürgen Habermas’s view of politics which is itself, in many ways, a reformulation of the same liberal political views that have misled so many environmental ethicists.

Six small earthen ponds (600 m2) were used for the current experiment to investigate the differences in growth criteria for 200 individuals of common carp fed (2 T1, 3 T2 and 4 T3) % of total fish weight. Fishes were fed daily on commercial pellets manufactured by Agricultural Consultant Office belonging to Agriculture College. The total length and weight of fish were measured at the beginning and the end of the experiment, while subsamples of fish were weighed periodically and daily food changed after each weighing. Initial fish weights were 530.0± 132.7, 513.4±118.3 and 477.3±122.5 for T1, T2 and T3 respectively. Daily feed was divided into three meals, the first given early in the morning, the second at mid-day and the third given in the afternoon. Results of current experiments showed a high growth rate (FW= 1341.4 g, WI= 873.0 g, DGR=9.59 g/day and SGR=1.16 %/day) for fish fed on 4% feeding ratio compared with the two feeding ratios. Feed conversion rates were 2.46, 4.01 and 3.28 for T1, T2 and T3 respectively. Statistical analysis showed that there were no significant differences (P>0.05) between values of b with value 3 (Isometric pattern of growth) of common carp before and after the experiment. Statistical analysis of three models for condition factor proved that there were significant differences (P≤0.05) between the values before the experiment with values after the experiment, while there were no significant differences (P>0.05) after the experiment between different condition factors for common carp reared on different feeding ratio.

Published: January 2025

Five leaf samples were collected from grey mangrove plants found along the coastline of Khor Al-Zubair oil port in the Khor Al-Zubair region, located southwest of Basra Governorate, Iraq. DNA was extracted from dried leaf material, and then the nuclear internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region, involving ITS1, the 5.8S rRNA region, and ITS2, ranging in size from 700 to 720 bp, was amplified using specific primers. Among the samples collected, three originated from plants exhibiting two leaves at each node (opposite leaves), while the remaining two samples were obtained from plants with three leaves at each node (whorled leaves). The current study primarily focuses on leaf arrangements termed as whorled leaves, which were observed in two of the collected samples, this pattern is unfamiliar in the Avicennia marina. Hence, there may be a correlation between the ITS region and the phyllotaxis pattern of these plants. Alignment analysis of a high-quality sequence of 692 base pairs revealed significant similarity with the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) of Avicennia marina. This sequence has been deposited in GenBank under the new accession number (PP237061), it was then, aligned with those from 16 other documented ITS regions of Avicennia marina specimens in NCBI to construct a comparative phylogenetic tree consisting of 32 nodes and 17 tips.

Published: January 2025

Im Hinblick auf die sich stets weiterentwickelnde Digitalisierung sind Daten in unserer Gesellschaft nicht mehr wegzudenken. Dies betrifft auch den Bildungssektor, wonach auch Schulen sich diesen Entwicklungen anzupassen haben. Innerhalb der Bildungsforschung besitzt die daten- und evidenzbasierte Schulentwicklung diesbezüglich eine wesentliche Rolle, indem sie thematisiert, wie Schulen Daten erheben, analysieren sowie zur Verbesserung von schulischen Prozessen nutzen. Die vorliegende Arbeit verfolgt das Ziel, den aktuellen Forschungsstand zur datenbasierten Schulentwicklung mittels einer systematischen Literaturrecherche aufzuzeigen und zu systematisieren. Durch die gewählte Suchstrategie in zwei fachwissenschaftlichen (FIS Bildung, ERIC) und zwei wissenschaftlichen (APA PsycInfo, WoS) Datenbanken, konnten 14 Publikationen aus den letzten Jahren von 2019 bis einschließlich 2024 identifiziert werden. Die Ergebnisse zeigen unterschiedliche, aber sich dennoch vom Untersuchungsinteresse und -fokus ähnelnde Forschungen. So können die in das systematische Review eingeschlossenen Publikationen in fünf Kategorien eingeteilt werden. Anhand dieser wird deutlich, dass die Erforschung von Datenteams, Untersuchungen der Schulleitungen, Untersuchungen von Instrumenten zur Anwendung schulinterner Daten, sowie Untersuchungen zur datenbasierten Unterrichtsentwicklung und zur allgemeinen Anwendung von Daten für Schulentwicklung das Forschungsfeld rund um die datenbasierte Schulentwicklung beschreiben.

Authors: Suhaib H. Kakamad  , Mohieddin Barzegar  , Mohammad Reza Rahmani
Published: January 2025

Introduction
Transfusion medicine promotes the safety of blood transfusions by rigorously testing to eliminate risks of infection and hemolytic. The efficacy (to correct and identify antibodies) of a modified cross-matching method that excludes the use of anti-human globulin (AHG) bovine serum with that of the immediate spin crossmatch was assessed.
Material and Methods
This multi-center study was performed at two medical centers in Iran and Iraq. Over seven years, consecutive participants received two different blood cross-matching methods: one with AHG and bovine serum and another without it.
Results
The study included 31240 participants. About 18526 (59.3%) were males and 12714 (40.7%) were females. The ages of participants ranged from 23 to 57 years, with the average age of 39 years. Only 45 (0.14%) participants blood cross-match incompatible in both spin cross-match and cross-match without AHG, bovine serum the same result. The study found that all detected antibodies correlated with potential blood incompatibility, and there remained 100% safety between the two testing methods.
Conclusion
Omitting AHG and bovine serum in cross-matching might be safe. At least it can be used in emergency situations and in resource-limited settings.

La protección y conservación de las aves terrestres migratorias neártico-neotropicales es una responsabilidad compartida por varios países del hemisferio occidental. Sin embargo, la colaboración transfronteriza entre múltiples organizaciones, misiones e idiomas puede ser un desafío. El Instituto de Poblaciones de Aves, la Universidad Estatal de Colorado, la Universidad de California en Los Ángeles y la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México se están embarcando en una ambiciosa iniciativa de investigación y monitoreo que fomentará la colaboración hemisférica. El objetivo principal es mejorar los resultados de conservación de las aves migratorias, proporcionando información a los profesionales de la conservación para (1) determinar los patrones de migración de las aves terrestres y vincular las áreas de reproducción, migración, e invernada a nivel poblacional; (2) describir las tasas vitales y los movimientos de las aves terrestres migratorias neotropicales; (3) comprender los aspectos clave de la ecología básica de las aves residentes del neotrópico; (4) definir los movimientos de las especies objetivo con el uso de marcadores electrónicos; (5) capacitar investigadores a nivel local en América Latina; y (6) explorar nuevas líneas de investigación y colaboración. Como punto de partida, estamos utilizando una red internacional ya establecida de estaciones de anillamiento y monitoreo de aves, el programa MoSI, y una colaboración existente con el Proyecto Bird Genoscape, que sirve como plataforma para comprender los movimientos migratorios de aves. Además, estamos buscando activamente nuevos socios para esta iniciativa.

Inflation and BI Rate are macroeconomic factors that can affect mudharabah savings. Inflation is considered a source of decreased purchasing power that occurs because the amount of money in circulation is too large, so to counteract it must reduce the amount of money in circulation. Reducing the amount of money in circulation will lead to high interest rates (BI Rate). The high prices and incomes that remain or increase according to the magnitude of inflation make people have no excess funds to be stored in the form of savings. The high interest of customers to save is influenced by the interest rate (BI Rate), another factor that affects mudharabah savings is the exchange rate of the rupiah against the dollar (exchange rate), the exchange between different currency values results in a comparison of values or prices between the two currencies. Thus, researchers aim to test and analyze the effect of inflation, exchange rates, BI Rate on the amount of mudharabah savings at Islamic Commercial Banks for the 2016-2020 period.
