Authors: Gutierrez Lorena , García Maria Alejandra , Herrera Jorge Luis 
Published: May 2020

Introducción
El trauma maxilofacial es un motivo de consulta frecuente y puede llevar a daño funcional, estético y emocional (1) Existen estudios previos sobre su epidemiología, sin embargo sabemos que esta cambia a traves del tiempo por que esta determinada por diversos factores. El objetivo de este estudio es decribir las caracteristicas del trauma maxilofacial en un hospital de referencia de Bogotá
Metodología
Estudio descriptivo y retrospectivo. Se revisaron historias clínicas de pacientes mayores de 18 años que ingresaron por urgencias a la Unidad de Cirugía Maxilofacial del Hospital San José entre el 2013 y 2017. Se calculó frecuencias absolutas y relativas para las variables cualitativas.
Resultados
Se obtuvieron 391 pacientes. La mayoría fueron hombres (76.3%) entre los 30 a los 49 años. Las causas más comunes son la violencia (36.8%) y los accidentes de transito (25%). Las fracturas más frecuentes fueron las de huesos propios nasales (52%). De las fracturas mandibulares las más prevalentes fueron las fracturas condilares y subcondilares, ángulo y cuerpo con 21.4% cada una. El tratamiento más usado fue el manejo médico (52.9%)
Discusión
El trauma maxilofacial es una patología frecuente en hombres adultos jóvenes. Sin embargo el tipo de fractura y etiología podria estar influenciado por factores como sexo y edad. La causa mas común es la violencia y los accidentes de tránsito, las cuales son potencialmente prevenibles. Esto debe servir como referencia para incitar la realización de medidas preventivas para estas situaciones.

The objective of the study was to (1) evaluate land suitability for coconut (cocos nucifera L.) production in relation to soil physical properties, (2) identify the soil physical constraints and (3) study their effect on the morphological adaptation of coconut roots. Soil physical properties were found to be significantly related to coconut yield (R2=81.37; p<0.01). Multiple regression with cluster analysis of soil physical properties vs coconut yield enabled classification of soil series into three major groups namely (a) highly (b) moderately and (c) less productive series. It was observed that the high soil compaction which limited the available water and aeration capacity of soils resulted in retardation of the activity of coconut roots. Water stress due to soil compaction was found to induce production of more inactive roots by suberization and dehydration processes. Scanning electron microscopic image showed that soil compaction and water stress, reduced the cell volume per unit area of the absorption zone and the number of pores in respiratory organs of coconut roots resulting in retardation of water and nutrient absorption, and air exchange processes. This in turn malfunctions of absorption cells and respiratory organs of roots resulted in retardation of growth of coconut seedlings. The practical importance of these findings in formulation of land suitability maps for coconuts is discussed.

Background Dyspnea is a distressing and functionally limiting symptom that patients with heart failure commonly experience. A valid instrument to quantify dyspnea for comparison of groups and for illness management is important.
Objective To validate the Chinese version of the Modified Pulmonary Functional Status and Dyspnea Questionnaire.
Methods The Chinese version was developed by using translation and back translation and was tested in Taiwan in 88 patients who had heart failure but no pulmonary disease or comorbid conditions limiting physical function. Data on a Taiwanese subsample (n=30) were compared with data on 30 patients in the United States matched by sex, age, and severity of disease to determine the equivalence of the Chinese and English versions. Construct validity was assessed by testing the hypothesis that health-related quality of life measured by using the Minnesota Living With Heart Failure Questionnaire is associated with the score on the dyspnea questionnaire. Reliability was assessed by using the Cronbach α and item-total correlations.
Results Equivalence between the US and Taiwanese samples was high, from 0.67 to 0.91 for each item of the questionnaire and for the total score. Satisfactory correlations between the Chinese dyspnea and the Minnesota questionnaires, especially in the physical dimension (r=0.71, P&lt;.001), provided support for the construct validity of the Chinese questionnaire. Reliability of the Chinese questionnaire was adequate (α=0.94).
Conclusions The Chinese Modified Pulmonary Functional Status and Dyspnea Questionnaire is a reliable and valid measure for dyspnea that can be used in Taiwanese patients with heart failure.

Published: May 2020

Background & objectives:
A cluster of SARS-CoV-2 infection occurred among Italian tourists visiting India. We report here the epidemiological, clinical, radiological and laboratory findings of the first cluster of SARS-CoV-2 infection among the tourists.

Methods:
Information was collected on demographic details, travel and exposure history, comorbidities, timelines of events, date of symptom onset and duration of hospitalization from the 16 Italian tourists and an Indian with laboratory-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection. The clinical, laboratory, radiologic and treatment data was abstracted from their medical records and all tourists were followed up till their recovery or discharge or death. Throat and deep nasal swab specimens were collected on days 3, 8, 15, 18, 23 and 25 to evaluate viral clearance.

Results:
A group of 23 Italian tourists reached New Delhi, India, on February 21, 2020 and along with three Indians visited several tourist places in Rajasthan. By March 3, 2020, 17 of the 26 (attack rate: 65.4%) had become positive for SARS-CoV-2 infection. Of these 17 patients, nine were symptomatic, while eight did not show any symptoms. Of the nine who developed symptoms, six were mild, one was severe and two were critically ill. The median duration between the day of confirmation for COVID-19 and RT-PCR negativity was 18 days (range: 12-23 days). Two patients died with a case fatality of 11.8 per cent.

Interpretation & conclusions:
This study reconfirms higher rates of transmission among close contacts and therefore, public health measures such as physical distancing, personal hygiene and infection control measures are necessary to prevent transmission.
Phylogenetic Study of African Combretaceae R. Br. based on rbcL Sequence
Authors: Onefeli Alfred Ossai , Stanys Vidmantas 
Published: May 2020

Combretaceae is an angiosperm family of high economic value. However, there is dearth of information on the phylogenetic relationship of the members of this family using ribulose biphosphate carboxylase (rcbL) gene. Previous studies with electrophoretic-based and morphological markers revealed that this family is phylogenetically complex.
In the present study, 79 sequences of rbcL were used to study the phylogenetic relationship among the members of Combretaceae of African origin with a view to provide more information required for the utilization and management of this family. Multiple Sequence alignment was executed using the MUSCLE component of Molecular Evolutionary Genetics Version X Analysis (MEGA X). Transition/Transversion ratio, Consistency index, Retention Index and Composite Index were also determined. Phylogenetic trees were constructed using Maximum parsimony (MP) and Neighbor joining methods.
The alignment of rcbL in the family Combretaceae shows 0.59 for both variation and parsimony sites with the overall mean distance of 0.71. Result shows that the genera Combretum, Terminalia are polyphyletic, while Conocarpus, Quisqualis and Meiostemon are monophyletic.
Findings from this study can be applied to the scientific classification of the African Combretaceae, especially where morphological and electrophoretic-based molecular delimitation have failed. rbcL from this family can also be used as barcodes against drug adulteration of the medicinal species.

Alien predators are known to potentially strongly affect their prey populations. We studied the impact of raccoon dogs (Nyctereutes procyonoides) on waterbird breeding success in eight semi-urban wetlands in Finland. We manipulated raccoon dog density in two wetlands by removing individuals (2002 protection year, 2003 and 2004 removal years). We additionally performed nest predation experiments. We monitored raccoon dog density, estimated hunting bag size and observed waterbird breeding success. Our hypothesis predicts that the omnivorous raccoon dog plays a role in waterbird breeding success by depredating nests. Our experiments shown that the raccoon dog hunting bag in eutrophic wetlands may be large, as we removed 8.6–20.0 animals per km2. Both our nest predation experiment and field data indicated that raccoon dogs affect the breeding success of waterbirds. We found a significant relationship between raccoon dog density index and predation rate of the artificial nests, but not between red fox (Vulpes vulpes) density and predation on artificial nests. We did not find an association between raccoon dog abundance and the breeding success of mallards (Anas platyrhynchos) and great crested grebes (Podiceps cristatus). However, our study shows that birds species with different breeding strategies – e.g. great crested grebe, mute swan (Cygnus olor), mallard, Eurasian wigeon (Mareca penelope), coot (Fulica atra), lapwing (Vanellus vanellus) and marsh harrier (Circus aeruginosus) – when considered together showed higher breeding success both in 2003 and 2004 when compared to breeding success before removal. There was, however, variation in how strongly the species responded to raccoon dog removal. Our results indicate that the removal of alien raccoon dogs can be an important tool in wetland management.

Application of fuzzy and classical Multi-Criteria Decision-Making methods in assessing the forest area preservation level of Romania’s counties
Authors: Albulescu Andra Cosmina , Larion Daniela 
Published: May 2020

With over a quarter of its territory covered by forest, Romania stands out as a European country with a medium forest area extension. Despite the fact that the forest area has increased since 2008, there are counties that are affected by forest loss caused by outlawed forest cutting and other factors. This calls for improved knowledge and critical spatial planning of the forest area at county level. The aim of this study is to assess the forest area preservation level of Romania’s 41 counties using fuzzy and classical Multi-Criteria Decision-Making methods. The paper includes inferences regarding the distribution of the illegal forest cutting cases at county level, that link forest management issues with the forest area preservation level. Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP) is applied to weigh factors related to the changes of forest provisions, forest loss and forest regeneration processes, dimensions of forest exploitation and illegal forest cutting cases using forest data referring to 1990-2017. The alternatives are represented by the 41 counties of Romania and are evaluated by the use of Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS). The results are integrated with GIS and the choropleth map may serve as a powerful visual and practical tool for identifying the counties with pressing forest loss issues. Results show the counties with the lowest levels of forest area preservation were Argeș, Prahova and Gorj. Harghita, Brăila and Suceava counties recorded the highest levels of forest area preservation. While some of the counties that rank among the least in terms of forest area preservation are also altered by massive illegal forest cutting, there are others that serve as counter-examples. The discrepancies are explained by the provisional character of the illegal forest cutting data. Our study shows significant practical importance, pointing out the administrative units of Romania that need to take urgent action in order to mitigate the problem of forest loss and to better their forest management.

Dari Terra Sancta ke Terra Incognita
Authors: Tjen Anwar 
Published: May 2020

This article is an attempt to learn from the struggle for identity in early Christianity. Since its birth from the womb of Judaism, Christianity was challenged to redefine its identity, rooted as it was in Judaism vis-à-vis the influence of Hellenization. Such a journey into unknown territory (terra incognita) unavoidably led to the birth of new identity which, on the one hand, remained an integral part of its original matrix, but at once challenged its exclusive character. In this overview, two main examples of reinterpretation are presented to illustrate the case, first, by Paul who radically reinterprets Torah and the identity of God's people in Christ, and second, by the author of 1 Peter who reinterprets the identity of "Christianos" as "aliens" and "exiles" in their Graeco-Roman milieu. As can be learned from these examples, negotiation, and renegotiation are an inevitable necessity when Christianity penetrates new territories in its encounter with the "other", in order to root itself in new terra incognita.
The Advaitic Experience in Christianity and Hinduism
Authors: Hutagalung Toar Banua 
Published: May 2020

Relationality between Jesus the Son and God the Father becomes a perfect model of God and humanity. But, how do we understand the meaning of this relationality? Why in Hinduism, especially, in Advaitic tradition, this relationality issue becomes an essential element to realize the one God? Can we do a pilgrimage of our faith by comparing Christian and Hindu traditions? This study will examine on mystical approach of Sri Ramakrishna’s experience as a Hindu and the discernment of Jacques Dupuis’ on awareness as a Catholic. The notion of relationality would be exposed within those two different traditions, each with different perspectives. One will question Advaita and the other will delve into awareness. In the end, advaitic perspectives will help us to comprehend the relationality of God and humanity through our readings of understanding Dupuis’ awareness.

The tradition of rewang in Javanese society denotes the preparation and production of meals, a custom performed primarily by women. As a cultural value, rewang reflects an ideal standard for the role of women. In this essay, an assessment of the role of women is deployed to explore the meaning of work and, at the same time, to surface an understanding of hospitality that is based on the tradition of rewang, in order to demonstrate social meaning and values from the rewang tradition. Within this tradition, the meaning of work begins necessarily with remembering just how important is each person’s role. For members of the Javanese community, participation according to the rewang tradition shows the importance of strengthening blood-relationship with others (termed silaturahmi in Bahasa Indonesia). It is this blood-relation that serves as core value within the rewang tradition, such that rewang becomes a model for being community within the social context of Indonesia. By employing a perspective of rewang, this essay thus attempts to demonstrate how hospitality can serve as a basis for the identity of presence concerning the Javanese community.
Bait Suci: Kemegahan Versus Penderitaan
Authors: Samosir Agustina Raplina 
Published: May 2020

Construction for Solomon's Temple entailed forced labor. This is evinced, first, by several terms connoting forced labor, such as mas, sēbel, and ‘ebed, which are used in the text to describe the Temple project. Widely attested during the reigns of David and Solomon, terms such as these denote just how royal projects were carried out. A second piece of evidence concerns the outbreak of civil unrest during Solomon's day over the issue of forced labor in Israel. As such, the Temple's very construction bears enormous human cost, just as the splendor of that Temple is directly proportionate to the suffering of both denizens and working class. Here the author analyzes the Temple-construction process of Solomon's era, showcasing one example of the “human pyramid” that demands consideration amid a proliferation of interpretative work to be done in the present time.

IntroductionPostoperative peritoneal adhesion is an important complication of abdominopelvic surgery. The aim of this study is to reveal the effect of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on postoperative intraperitoneal inflammation and adhesions.Material and methodsTwenty-four Wistar albino rats were divided into three groups. Cecal incision and suturation was carried out for the experimental model. Intraperitoneally, 3 ml of 0.9% NaCl, 3 ml of PRP, and nothing were applied, and called as saline, PRP, and control groups, respectively. Four subjects in each group were sacrificed at the 3rd and 7th days postoperatively. Adhesion formations and giant cell, lymphocyte/plasmocyte, neutrophil, and histiocyte counts were assessed and hydroxyproline levels were measured in all groups and statistical comparisons were performed.ResultsExcept giant cell 3rd day scores, PRP had the lowest adhesion, neutrophil, lymphocyte, plasmocyte, histiocyte and fibrosis scores. Both 3rd and 7th days scores of giant cell, neutrophil, lymphocyte, plasmocyte, but only 7th days scores of histiocyte reaction and fibrosis were statistically significant (p < 0.05). Hydroxyproline levels were lower in the saline group at the 3rd day. However, at the 7th day, the levels were lower in the PRP group and no statistically significant difference was found compared to the saline group 3rd day levels (p > 0.05).ConclusionsPlatelet-rich plasma has a reducing effect on the postoperative peritoneal adhesions with separation of the damaged tissues, affecting the inflammation, matrix metalloproteinase, plasminogen activation or the other stages of adhesion formation.

IntroductionA potential way to explain the relationships between sleep disorders and cognitive disorders during menopausal transition is the identification of genetic markers related to changes in cognitive functions, as well as changes in quality of sleep during menopause. The objective was an analysis of the relationship between sleep disorders and cognitive disorders, according to the possessed oestrogen receptor α gene polymorphism (ESR1) in perimenopausal and postmenopausal women.Material and methodsThe study included 300 women aged 44–66 years, employed as non-manual workers. A computerised battery of the Central Nervous System Vital Signs (CNS VS) test was used to diagnose cognitive functions. ESR1 polymorphisms were genotyped using PCR-RFLP methods. The Athens Insomnia Scale was used to diagnose sleep disorders.ResultsMore severe insomnia was related to worse complex memory, visual memory, and simple attention in the total group of examined women. More severe insomnia was related to worse simple attention in women with genotypes AG Xba I or TC Pvu II ESR1, in perimenopausal women with genotypes AG Xba I or TC Pvu II ESR1. During the postmenopausal period, the severity of insomnia negatively correlated with visual memory in carriers of Pvu II TT, and with reaction time in carriers of Xba I AA.ConclusionsThe results indicate an important role of oestrogen receptor α gene polymorphism in the modulation of the effect of insomnia on cognitive functions in peri- and postmenopausal women.

Published: May 2020

IntroductionThe aim of the study was to evaluate inflammatory markers (neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio [NLR], platelet to lymphocyte ratio [PLR], platelet to mean platelet volume [PLT/MPV], C-reactive protein [CRP], CRP/albumin) in hospitalized patients with bacterial community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) and to differentiate between Gram-positive and Gram-negative groups and between admission and discharge findings.Material and methodsA total of 170 adult patients hospitalized with bacterial CAP due to Gram-positive (n = 130) and Gram-negative (n = 40) pathogens were included in this retrospective study. Complete blood count (CBC) and inflammatory markers (NLR, PLR, platelet/MPV ratio, CRP, albumin) were recorded.ResultsGram-negative vs. Gram-positive pneumonia was associated with significantly higher likelihood of being hospitalized at the ICU (70.0% vs. 2.3%, p < 0.001), mortality (20.0% vs. 2.3%, p < 0.001) and sepsis (27.5% vs. 0.0%, p < 0.001). Neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio, PLR and PLT/MPV at admission or discharge showed no significant difference between study groups. A significant decrease in NLR (p < 0.001 and p = 0.026, respectively), CRP (p < 0.001 and p = 0.013, respectively) and CRP/albumin ratio (p = 0.021 and p = 0.037, respectively) was noted from admission to discharge in both groups.ConclusionsIn conclusion, our findings in a retrospective cohort of hospitalized CAP patients revealed no significant role of NLR, PLR, PLT/MPV or CRP in differential diagnosis of Gram-negative versus Gram-positive etiology and thus no additional benefit of these markers in faster implementation of appropriate treatment in accordance with the Gram stain.
