Authors: Kamijo Satoshi , Kumai Tsukasa , Tanaka Yasuhito
Published: August 2024

Objective: The prevalence of symptomatic ankle osteoarthritis increases with age; thus, affected individuals potentially have osteoporosis and talar fragility. Therefore, while performing osteosynthesis between the tibial plafond and the talar trochlea during arthroscopic ankle arthrodesis, increased stability and compression pressure during fixation are needed. Screw threads must be anchored within the talus; however, the bone mineral density of the talus has not been reported. We aimed to determine if the bone mineral density of the talus is lower in patients with ankle osteoarthritis than in healthy individuals, in addition to which part has the highest bone mineral density.
Materials and methods: We studied the talus of 10 feet without and 10 with end-stage ankle osteoarthritis. Each talar cancellous bone was divided into the lateral process, head and neck, middle body, and medial body. Computed tomographic of each segment was measured to calculate the relative bone mineral density difference between the regions.
Result: The mean computed tomographic values were 638.329 ± 139.765 standard deviation (SD), 465.960 ± 74.254 SD, 537.109 ± 82.443 SD, and 469.016 ± 84.490 SD of the healthy talus group and were 360.994 ± 117.403 SD, 284.397 ± 101.142 SD, 327.814 ± 114.772 SD, and 297.524 ± 105.667 SD in the end-stage ankle osteoarthritis talus group for the five respective segments above.
Conclusions: The bone mineral density values were significantly lower in the end-stage ankle osteoarthritis talus than in the healthy talus. The bone mineral relative density was highest from the body middle to the lateral process.

Published: August 2024

Employing universal relations for the Onsager coefficients in the linear regime at the symmetric point of the single impurity Anderson model, we calculate the conditions under which the quantum scattering phase shift should satisfy to produce the asymptotic Carnot’s limit for the thermoelectric efficiency. We show that a single quantum dot connected by metallic leads at the Kondo regime cannot achieve the best thermoelectric efficiency. We study a serial double quantum dot system, with the quantum dots immersed in ballistic conduction channels. Each QD exhibits a strong but finite local electronic correlation UU. We show that maintaining one dot in the electron-hole symmetric point and allowing charge fluctuations in the other QD makes it possible to drive the system to the maximum thermoelectric efficiency. We also show that the bound states in the continuum (BICs) and quasi-BICs associated with the quantum scattering interference process drive the DQD to the maximum thermoelectric efficiency. We identify two types of quasi-BICs that occur at low and high temperatures: The first is associated with single Fano resonances, and the last is with several Fano processes. We also discussed possible temperature values and conditions that could be linked with the experimental realization of the results.

Authors: Chaves Heloisa Pimpão , Branco Filho Thelmo de Carvalho Teixeira , Marques Rui Cunha , Malheiros Tadeu Fabrício
Published: August 2024

This study aimed to analyze recent scientific literature concerning performance evaluation in the water supply sector, focusing on Brazil, and investigate factors that could influence its performance. For this purpose, we conducted a systematic literature review, following a series of steps to identify approaches, methodologies, and contexts into which the studies were developed. The search revealed that the studies focused on different management models and market structure issues. In addition, they also showed that the performance of service providers can be influenced by political and socioeconomic context and geographic aspects. A gap was identified concerning the qualitative studies since most used econometric methods mainly aimed at technical and financial efficiency. Also, social and service user perspectives received limited academic attention. To face the challenges in water provision in Brazil, tools, such as those related to performance evaluation, are essential for sufficient system management and can guide decision-makers and service providers.

DA LIBERDADE INDIVIDUAL À LIBERDADE COMO AÇÃO POLÍTICA
Authors: Melilo Carrieri Raquel Augusta , Andrade Renata Fernandes Maia de
Published: August 2024

Ao longo do tempo, a expressão 'liberdade' é recuperada como uma poderosa ferramenta retórica para justificar comportamentos que desvalorizam a prática da coletividade. A título de ilustração, observa-se o surgimento de indivíduos que ocupam o cenário político institucional e, ao se autodenominarem como defensores da liberdade, manifestam opiniões com o potencial de serem ofensivas para segmentos da sociedade, geralmente minorias. A análise desse cenário, portanto, requer uma abordagem cuidadosa do conceito de liberdade que possibilite a expansão do horizonte de interpretações para se compreender o processo histórico que enriqueceu o conceito de liberdade com diversos significados e simbolismos. Nesse sentido, o artigo pretende examinar ideias e concepções de liberdade de dois autores que examinam esse constructo à luz do pensamento filosófico. Como contribuição ao debate público, busca-se realizar uma síntese que dialogue com as análises realizadas e o contexto escolar contemporâneo. Para atender a esse objetivo, realizou-se uma breve revisão bibliográfica acerca do pensamento de Michael Foucault e Hanna Arendt e uma análise qualitativa dessa bibliografia. Logo, a nossa reflexão, sobre o complexo e controverso conceito de "liberdade de expressão", busca indicar que, inicialmente, devemos abordar a liberdade como um termo polissêmico, carregado de sacralidade e permeado por paixões ideológicas. Nossa reflexão também é um convite sobre o papel da escola na promoção de aprendizados e condutas libertárias, destacando princípios educacionais que reafirmem a importância da convivência em detrimento da autonomia muitas vezes aclamada, mas por vezes desconsiderada.

Authors: Kapoor Devesh U. , Gaur Mansi , Kumar Akash , Ansari Mohd Nazam , Prajapati Bhupendra
Published: August 2024

The biotechnology field has witnessed rapid advancements, leading to the development
of numerous proteins and peptides (PPs) for disease management. The production and isolation of
bioactive milk peptides (BAPs) involve enzymatic hydrolysis and fermentation, followed by purification
through various techniques such as ultrafiltration and chromatography. The nutraceutical
potential of bioactive milk peptides has gained significant attention in nutritional research, as these
peptides may regulate blood sugar levels, mitigate oxidative stress, improve cardiovascular
health, gut health, bone health, and immune responses, and exhibit anticancer properties. However,
to enhance BAP bioavailability, the encapsulation method can be used to offer protection
against protease degradation and controlled release. This article provides insights into the composition,
types, production, isolation, bioavailability, and health benefits of BAPs.

Factors Influencing Dental Practitioners in the Management of Temporomandibular Joint Related Disorders in Clinical Practice – A Structural Equation Modelling Approach
Authors: Sivakumar Sasidharan , Sivakumar Gowardhan , Sundramoorthy Ashok K.
Published: August 2024

Background

Temporomandibular joint disorders (TMJD) have shown a rising prevalence globally, affecting approximately 31% of adults/elderly and 11% of children/adolescents, with disc displacement with reduction (DDwR) being the most common condition. Despite the significant impact of TMJD on individuals and society, diagnosis and treatment remain inadequate. This study aims to identify factors that are hindering clinicians from managing TMJ-related disorders and to model these factors using latent variable structural equation modeling.

Methodology

A cross-sectional study was conducted from January to March 2023 among 470 dental practitioners in Chennai, Tamilnadu. The data were collected using a closed-ended questionnaire distributed via Google Forms, achieving an 87% response rate. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and structural equation modeling (SEM) were used to analyze the data, focusing on clinician-related and patient-related factors.

Results

The measurement model was refined through CFA, achieving acceptable goodness-of-fit measures. The structural model revealed that clinician-related factors significantly impact the decision to manage TMJ disorders (β=0.96), with hesitation due to poor prognosis being the most influential factor. Patient-related factors, though significant, had a lesser impact (β=0.28), with economic affordability being the most influential patient-related factor.

Conclusion

The decision-making process for managing TMJ disorders is significantly influenced by clinician-related factors, with a lack of knowledge and hesitation due to poor prognosis being major barriers. Thus, enhancing the dental curriculum with comprehensive TMJ management training could improve clinician confidence and patient outcomes. Additionally, addressing patient affordability is crucial for effective treatment planning. This study highlights the need to address knowledge and competency gaps among general dental practitioners and provides insights to inform educational reforms, ultimately improving patient care outcomes.

Authors: Maharti Ike Dwi , Ramadiani Nurul , Indrastuty Siringoringo Renny , Anri Zahra Khairiza , Meidyawati Ratna , Margono Anggraini , Kusumasari Citra
Published: August 2024

Objective

Using Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) has several challenges as an apex closure material, such as a long hardening time, making it susceptible to dissolution and being washed away by blood flow, a gritty consistency that is difficult to manipulate, and low compression resistance. In addition, the antibacterial properties of MTA against E. faecalis, the bacteria persisting in periapical lesions, have shown controversial results. This study aimed to analyze the effect of adding various concentrations of water-soluble chitosan to MTA on the setting time, compression strength, and antibiofilm ability of E. faecalis.

Materials and Methods

There were three groups in this study, namely, MTA without water-soluble chitosan (MTA), MTA with 5% (MTA-CW5), and MTA with 10% (MTA-CW10) water-soluble chitosan. 0.5 g MTA powder (ProRoot MTA, Dentsply Tulsa Dental, Tulsa, OK, USA) was stirred in the MTA group with 0.166 ml of distilled water. In the MTA-CW5 and MTA-CW10 groups, 40 µl of 5% and 10% water-soluble chitosan was added to the mixture of 0.5 g MTA powder and 0.166 ml distilled water. Then, the three groups were tested for setting time, compression strength, and antibiofilm activity against E. faecalis. Setting time and compression strength values were analyzed by parametric statistics (ANOVA). Bacterial cell viability values on a numerical scale were statistically analyzed using the Kruskal–Wallis non-parametric analysis. The level of significance used was p < 0.05.

Results

There was a significant difference in setting time among the three groups, from the fastest to the slowest setting time, respectively: MTA-CW5, MTA, and MTA-CW10. The same thing happened in the compression strength test, with the lowest mean value shown in the MTA group at 50.53 + 6.18 MPa. The viability of E. faecalis between the MTA and MTA-CW5 groups did not have a statistically significant difference.

Conclusion

The setting time of MTA with 5% water-soluble chitosan was fast, but adding 10% water-soluble chitosan slowed the setting time of MTA. Meanwhile, increased water-soluble chitosan concentration led to increased compression strength and antibiofilm activity of MTA against E. faecalis.
Assessment of Chemical Composition and Investigation into the Antioxidant, Anti-inflammatory, and Hemolytic Properties of Hexane Extracts from Cynara cardunculus subsp. Cardunculus and Cynara cardunculus subsp. sylvestris
Authors: Meliani Nawel , Achiri Radja , Dib Mohammed El Amine , Muselli Alain
Published: August 2024

Background:

Cynara cardunculus is frequently used in Mediterranean cuisine and is
known for its possible medicinal properties. These properties are usually related to the presence of
specific bioactive compounds present in the leaves of the artichoke. On the other hand, the root
parts of the artichoke have not been subjected to extensive studies so far.

Objective:

The main objective of this study was to conduct a chemical analysis of the root part of
the hexane extract of Cynara cardunculus subsp. cardunculus and Cynara cardunculus subsp.
sylvestris, while exploring their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and hemolytic effects.

Methods:

The chemical composition of the extracts of both species was analyzed using gas chromatography
(GC) and gas chromatography coupled with mass spectroscopy (GC/MS). The antioxidant
properties were evaluated using the DPPH radical scavenging method. The anti-inflammatory
activity was evaluated through the protein denaturation method using diclofenac as a positive
control. The hemolytic effect was examined on a suspension of erythrocytes in human blood.

Results:

The main constituents of the hexane extract of C. cardunculus and C. sylvestris were aplotaxene
(70.5% and 56.3%, respectively) and hexadecanoic acid (10.2% and 13.2%, respectively).
The hexane extracts of C. sylvestris and C. cardunculus showed positive antioxidant activity with
the DPPH test by comparing them with the BHT control. However, it should be noted that the extract
of C. cardunculus showed the best performance, with an IC50 of 4.3 μg/mL, while the extract
of C. sylvestris presented an IC50 of 5.6 μg/mL. The hexane extracts of C. cardunclus and C. sylvastris
showed good anti-inflammatory activity with IC50s of 17.3 μg/mL and 23.8 μg/mL compared
to diclofenac (IC50= 13.3 μg/mL), respectively. The toxicity assessment on human erythrocytes
shows that both extracts of roots of C. cardunculus and C. sylvestris have a very low hemolysis
rate (1.4% and 11.1%, respectively), even at high concentrations (2000 μg/mL).

Conclusion:

The extracts obtained from hexane from the plants C. cardunculus and C. sylvestris,
during the tests, revealed particularly promising antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and hemolytic
properties. These results offer an interesting perspective for the creation and development of new
antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agents for the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industry.

Published: August 2024

Background:

An attempt was made to develop and evaluate the membrane-
controlled transdermal systems for the controlled release of nicorandil. The
carbopol gel was selected as a drug reservoir, crosslinked blend membranes of XG
and SA were selected as rate-controlled membranes (RCM), and a film of poly(vinyl
alcohol) (PVA) was selected as the backing membrane.

Aim:

The aim of the current work was to formulate the membrane-controlled transdermal
drug delivery systems for the effective delivery of a vasodilator, nicorandil,
for the management of hypertension and angina pectoris, and in-vitro and ex-vivo
evaluation of these developed formulations.

Methods:

Reservoir gel was evaluated for drug content, pH, viscosity, and RCMs by
weight uniformity, thickness uniformity, differential scanning calorimetric (DSC)
analysis, x-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), water
vapor transmission, skin irritation, and histopathology.

Results:

Depending on crosslink density, variation in the water vapor permeation of
RCMs was noticed. The RCMs showed no signs of skin irritation. In-vitro drug permeation
through rat skin was extended for a period of 24 hours. With an increase in
acetaldehyde concentration in the RCM, there was a decrease in drug permeation.
Among the two terpenes used as penetration enhancers, the cineole at a concentration
of 20% exhibited a maximum permeation rate. The release mechanism from all systems
followed non-Fickian transport. Histopathology results indicated minor changes
in skin structure after skin permeation studies, which were reversible.

Conclusion:

The developed transdermal systems were found to have versatile dosage
forms for the controlled release of nicorandil, a vasodilator.

Economics subjects are still considered difficult by most, and this is a challenge for teachers to be able to teach economics well. Therefore, prospective teachers need to have self-efficacy in their ability to teach economics material. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of educational practices to improve teaching self-efficacy in 21 students majoring in Education in the VII Semester of the Faculty of Economics. This study uses an experimental method with a one-group pretest-posttest design. The teaching self-efficacy variable was measured using the Teaching Self-Efficacy Scale, which was tested on 115 students in the seventh semester of the Faculty of Economics, with the result of Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficient of 0.86. The results of this study indicate a significant increase in the average teaching self-efficacy score of 14.45%, with a significance value of 0.003 (p 0.05). Follow-up analysis of aspects of teaching self-efficacy showed that the magnitude score increased by 21.73% (sig=0.003; p¡0.005), and generality increased by 22.37% (sig=0.002; p¡0.005), and strength increased by 25.58. % (sig=0.003; p¡0.005). Thus, it can be concluded that educational Practice can significantly improve teaching self-efficacy for students majoring in Education at the Faculty of Economics and Business.

Health and Well-Being Among College Students in the United States During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Daily Diary Study
Authors: Lanza Stephanie T , Whetzel Courtney , Bhandari Sandesh
Published: August 2024

Background

There is evidence that anxiety and stress increased among college students during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, less is known about daily experiences of affect, worry, substance use behaviors, experiences of pleasure, concern over food security, experiences of bias or discrimination, feelings of belongingness, and other indicators of well-being and how they vary across days in this population.

Objective

This study surveyed a wide range of indicators of health and well-being in daily life over 21 days with a sample of college students in a large university system in the United States during the pandemic. The overall variance in each daily measure was partitioned to reflect the proportion due to (1) between-person differences versus (2) within-person, day-to-day variability. This is important because measures that vary primarily due to between-person differences may be more amenable to interventions that target particular students, whereas measures that vary more due to day-to-day variability may be more amenable to interventions that target day-level contextual factors.

Methods

A sample of 2068 young adult college students (aged 18-24, mean 19.8, SD 1.3 years; 66.6% women) completed a baseline survey; 97.3% (n=2012) then completed up to 21 consecutive daily surveys that assessed a comprehensive set of daily markers of health, behavior, and well-being. The daily diary study produced a total of 33,722 person-days.

Results

Among all person-days, a minority were substance use days (eg, 14.5% of days involved alcohol use, 5.6% vaping, and 5.5% cannabis). Experiences of pleasure were reported on most (73.5%) days. Between-person differences explained more than 50% of the variance in numerous indicators of health and well-being, including daily vaping, cannabis use, other illicit substance use, experiences of bias or discrimination, positive affect, negative affect, worry, food insecurity, and feelings of belonging at the university. In contrast, within-person differences explained more than 50% of the variance in daily alcohol use, cigarette use, stress, experiences of pleasure, where the student slept last night, and physical activity.

Conclusions

College student health and well-being are multifaceted, with some aspects likely driven by person-level characteristics and experiences and other aspects by more dynamic, contextual risk factors that occur in daily life. These findings implicate services and interventions that should target individual students versus those that should target days on which students are at high risk for poor experiences or behaviors.
Effect of Smoking on the Development of Migraine in Women: Nationwide Cohort Study in South Korea
Authors: Kim Seung Ae , Han Kyungdo , Choi Soyoun , Youn Michelle Sojung , Jang Hyemin , Lee Mi Ji
Published: August 2024

Background

Smoking is known to be a significant risk factor for various diseases. Migraine, a condition requiring careful lifestyle management, currently lacks specific guidelines advocating for smoking cessation as a preventive measure. Although cross-sectional studies have suggested a potential link between smoking and an increased risk of migraine, the findings have been inconsistent and conflicting. To date, there has been no longitudinal study which investigated the effect of smoking on the risk of migraine in a prospective setting.

Objective

This longitudinal study aimed to investigate the impact of smoking on the incidence of migraine in women and examine the modifying effect of menopausal status.

Methods

Using nationally representative National Health Insurance Service (NHIS) data, women aged ≥40 years who participated in national breast cancer screening in 2009 were followed-up until the end of 2019. Baseline data on smoking status (non-, ex-, and current smoker) as well as the duration and amount of cigarette smoking were collected. A Cox proportional hazards regression model was used to examine the independent effect of smoking on the risk of incident migraine after adjusting for demographics, comorbidities, and female reproductive factors. The results were stratified by menopausal status, and an interaction analysis (smoking × menopause) was performed.

Results

In total, 1,827,129 women were included in the analysis. Women with a history of smoking exhibited a higher risk of developing migraine, compared with nonsmokers. Specifically, a higher risk of migraine was observed in women with past (adjusted hazard ratio [HR] 1.044, 95% CI 1.000-1.089) and current cigarette use (adjusted HR 1.050, 95% CI, 1.023-1.079) than in nonsmokers. The effect was greater in premenopausal women (adjusted HR 1.140, 95% CI, 1.108-1.172) than in postmenopausal women (adjusted HR 1.045, 95% CI 1.018-1.073; P<.001). The risk increased with an increased amount of smoking, with a greater association in premenopausal women (P<.001).

Conclusions

Smoking increases the risk of migraine in women, with a dose-dependent relationship. Menopause modifies this effect. Our findings suggest that smoking is an important modifiable risk factor of migraine, with a higher impact in premenopausal women. The interaction between smoking and estrogen may increase the vulnerability of the migraine brain.
