Through the quality kaleidoscope: reflections on research in dentomaxillofacial imaging
Authors: Rohlin Madeleine , Horner Keith , Lindh Christina , Wenzel Ann 
Published: January 2020

The REduce research Waste And Reward Diligence statement has highlighted how weaknesses in health research can produce misleading results and waste valuable resources. Research on diagnostic efficacy in the field of dentomaxillofacial radiology (DMFR) is no exception to these criticisms and could be strengthened by more robust study designs, consistent use of a core set of outcome measures and completeness in reporting. Furthermore, we advocate that everyone participating in collaborative research on clinical interventions subscribes to the importance of methodological quality in how imaging methods are used. The aim of this paper, therefore, is to present a guide to conducting high-quality research on diagnostic efficacy in DMFR. We initially propose a framework inspired by the hierarchical model of efficacy of Fryback and Thornbury, highlighting study designs, measures of analysis, completeness of reporting and established guidelines to assist in these aspects of research. Bias in research, and measures to prevent or limit it, are then described. It is desirable to climb the Fryback and Thornbury “ladder” from technical efficacy, via accuracy and clinical efficacy, to societal efficacy of imaging methods. Efficacy studies on the higher steps of the ladder may be difficult to perform, but we must strive to answer questions of how useful our methods are in patient management and assess benefits, risks, costs, ethical and social issues. With the framework of six efficacy levels as the structure and based on our experience, we present information that may facilitate quality enhancement of diagnostic efficacy research in DMFR.
Fake News Propagation and Detection: A Sequential Model
Authors: Papanastasiou Yiangos 
Published: January 2020

In the wake of the 2016 U.S. presidential election, social-media platforms are facing increasing pressure to combat the propagation of “fake news” (i.e., articles whose content is fabricated). Motivated by recent attempts in this direction, we consider the problem faced by a social-media platform that is observing the sharing actions of a sequence of rational agents and is dynamically choosing whether to conduct an inspection (i.e., a “fact-check”) of an article whose validity is ex ante unknown. We first characterize the agents’ inspection and sharing actions and establish that, in the absence of any platform intervention, the agents’ news-sharing process is prone to the proliferation of fabricated content, even when the agents are intent on sharing only truthful news. We then study the platform’s inspection problem. We find that because the optimal policy is adapted to crowdsource inspection from the agents, it exhibits features that may appear a priori nonobvious; most notably, we show that the optimal inspection policy is nonmonotone in the ex ante probability that the article being shared is fake. We also investigate the effectiveness of the platform’s policy in mitigating the detrimental impact of fake news on the agents’ learning environment. We demonstrate that in environments characterized by a low (high) prevalence of fake news, the platform’s policy is more effective when the rewards it collects from content sharing are low relative to the penalties it incurs from the sharing of fake news (when the rewards it collects from content sharing are high in absolute terms).

Percutaneous cyst aspiration with injection of two different bioresorbable bone cements in treatment of simple bone cyst
Authors: Dong Chao , Klimek Peter , Abächerli Christof , De Rosa Vincenzo , Krieg Andreas H. 
Published: January 2020

Introduction Simple bone cysts (SBCs) are common in children and adolescents. The risk of refracture and the probability of spontaneous healing in SBCs are mainly dependent on the activity of the cyst and can be quantified with the Cyst-Index. Avoiding pathological fractures is the primary goal. Our study presents a comparison of two different bioresorbable bone graft substitutes (BGSs) in the minimally-invasive treatment of SBC in the active stage by percutaneous cyst aspiration and injection. Methods Between 2006 and 2017, 38 patients (aged two to 37 years; mean age 12.4 (sd 5.6)) were treated with percutaneous cyst aspiration and refilled with bioresorbable BGSs in three hospitals. The cysts of 21 patients (11 humerus, five femur, four calcaneus, one fibula) were refilled with porous beta-tricalcium phosphate (PB-TP group) (ChronOS Inject) and of 17 patients (nine humerus, six femur, one calcaneus, one fibula) with hydroxyapatite/calcium sulphate (H/CS group) (CERAMENT|BONE VOID FILLER). There were 13 (62%) preceding fractures in the PB-TP group and eight (47%) in the H/CS group. The follow-up of all patients was at least two years. During follow-up, radiological healing (modified Neer classification), activity level, refracture rates, recurrence rates, resorption period and complications were analyzed. Results In all, 21 patients treated with PB-TP group experienced 27 operations (one refracture, three recurrences and one persistent cyst). A total of 17 patients treated with H/CS experienced 20 operations (one refracture and one recurrence). After six weeks, 95% in the PB-TP group returned to unrestricted activity with one refracture in the femur due to insufficient biomechanical stability and all returned to unrestricted activity in the H/CS group. Partial or complete radiological response was observed in 81% after 13 months (sd 3.4). Three recurrences (14%) occurred in the PB-TP group and one recurrence (6%) occurred in the H/CS group. The refracture rates were similar in both groups; one (5%) in the PB-TP group and one (6%) in the H/CS group. All H/CS treated cysts showed completed resorption after two years, whilst in PB-TP treated cysts no resorption occurred in five cases (25%) (p = 0.031). Two (10%) wound infections occurred in the PB-TP group and no infections occurred in the H/CS group. Conclusion Both PB-TP and H/CS can provide stability and prevent refracture in patients with single bone cysts at the upper extremity or the foot. For the proximal femur, additional stabilization is necessary, due to the weight-bearing and associated high refracture rate. The H/CS bone graft substitute has a better resorption rate than the PB-TP graft. Level of Evidence III

Objective: This study was carried out to evaluate the efficiency of plant extracts used in traditional medicine on the dissolution of oxalo-calcic and cystine stones. Also, the efficiency of phenolic fractions (Tannins and Flavonoids) for the plants that gave us the best stone dissolution rate. Subjects and methods: Kidney stone of oxalo-calcic and cystine stones were incubated in vitro for 8 weeks in the presence of five plants extracts (hydro-ethanolic and aqueous extracts). NaCl solution (0,9 %) used as negative control and sodium citrate solution at 3 mM/L as a positive control. The studied plants were Herniaria hirsuta L. aerial parts, Opuntia ficus-indica L. flowers, Zea mays L. stigmata, Ammi visnaga L. seeds and Ziziphus lotus L. fruits. After 2, 4, 6 and 8 weeks the stones were weighed after 18 h drying at 40°C and the dissolution rate of the stones and the pH of the solution were measured.Results: After eight weeks, all the plant extracts and phenolic fractions had revealed a significant effect to dissolve oxalo-calcic and cystine stones in comparison to the control solutions. The best result of cystine stones was showed with aqueous extract of H. hirsuta aerial parts which had a dissolution rate of 88,91 %. Concerning the dissolution rate of oxalo-calcic stones the aqueous extract of Z. mays had the best results with 68 % against 19 % for the sodium citrate solution. The dissolution rate of the fractions studied showed a better result for Z. mays flavonoids fraction toward oxalo-calcic stones, and Z. mays tannins fraction for cystine stones. The pH undergoes a non-negligible linear increase over the eight weeks for all extracts and phenolic fractions and both kidney stones.Conclusion: The tested plants' extracts and the phenolic fractions for the plants that gave us the best stone dissolution rate were able to dissolve oxalo-calcic and cystine stones. To confirm the efficiency of these plant extracts on the treatment of oxalo-calcic and cystine stones multiple in vivo tests could be made.

El planteamiento se edifica sobre el supuesto de que el entorno cultural es condición necesaria para la práctica de la profesión biológica de la especie humana; por este motivo defendemos que la evolución de las comunidades homininas dependió del hecho de irse progresivamente instituyendo como comunidades de conocimiento; a esto se denomina hoy “impulso cultural”. Para elaborar la argumentación, emplearemos la metodología de asociar los descubrimientos evolutivos con las exigencias filosóficas de una teoría de la ayuda necesaria para el desarrollo de la mente; trataremos de comprobar si los procesos culturales, educación, precedieron a los primeros talleres artesanos. El conocimiento disponible permite concluir que la humanización tuvo lugar en el contexto de una aproximación a la naturaleza con iniciativa socialmente compartida; en ese contexto, el impulso cultural, los llevó a enseñar y a prestar atención a los estados mentales de los otros; en este escenario pedagógico se produjo la emergencia y la evolución de habilidades cognitivas.

ABSTRACT
End-stage liver disease management requiring orthotopic liver transplantation is being increasingly performed across the United States. However, some of the most common postoperative complications are bile leak and anastomotic stricture formation. These complications are successfully managed in most patients with endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). We hereby report a case of acute parotitis, an extremely uncommon complication after ERCP. The exact etiology of this complication is not known. However, we discuss the treatment and purported mechanistic risk factors of this unusual post-ERCP adverse event.

In the article I am dealing with the issue of unscientific depreciation of pedagogy as a science, which manifests itself either in the lack of reliable scientific criticism of dissertations in this discipline or the escape of some educators into politics to implement their own social intervention projects. The dispute about the scientific nature of pedagogy arises from various research traditions, scientific schools, so the author presents several such methodological approaches, whose creators emphasize the criteria of scientificity and indicate the resulting limitations and their incomparability. Meanwhile, self-awareness of the academic criteria of pedagogy is important in the way of reviewing the scientific achievements of young academic staff. Based on reviews in post-habilitation proceedings, I present various types of arguments in favor of the unscientific status of someone’s research and the reaction of those whose publications are reviewed.

This paper presents an analysis of the social reception of a protest by people with disabilities and their families (and guardians), with a special focus on its educational dimension. The protest took place in the main corridor of the Sejm complex in Warsaw in April and May 2017. The first part of the paper comprises the essential characteristics of social protests. The second provides a brief overview of media information about the discussed protest. The recapitulation of this part specifies the conditions that give the protest an educational dimension. From there, the analysis is narrowed to the reception of knowledge pertaining to the situation of the needs of people with disabilities and their families and the change in attitudes to this social group. The third part comprises a presentation of the research results on this issue. The research was conducted with the use of diagnostic polling—the questionnaire technique, applied to a group of 200 people. The research results show that the protest was a kind of information campaign and that it contributed to some changes in respondents’ knowledge concerning people with disabilities and their families and the transformation of attitudes to their needs.
Towards personalized prostate cancer screening
Authors: Filella Xavier 
Published: January 2020

Abstract
The value of the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) in prostate cancer (PCa) screening is controversial. Contradictory results have been reported in the literature as to whether PSA-based screening reduces mortality. Also, some of the studies published are methodologically flawed. However, evidence consistently demonstrates that screening programs results in the identification of patients with indolent prostatic tumors which rate has increased.
Controversy is not only about the value of PSA-based screening, but also about the age range for screening, risk groups based on baseline PSA, PSA ranges, or the use of other biomarkers (PHI, 4Kscore). At present, PCa screening in the general population is not recommended by most scientific societies, although it can be used after discussing the risks and benefits with the patient.
When discussing the need to perform a screening, the risks of using screening (lack of specificity of PSA, overdiagnosis) must be weighed against the risks of not performing it (increased rate of patients with initial diagnosis of metastasis). In the recent years, a number of authors have advocated the use of personalized screening, which could change the risk/benefit evaluation, thereby making screening necessary on the basis of a set of individual factors.
The influence of gadolinium on the thermal properties of bioactive glasses
Authors: Borges Roger , Menezes Natália Del Rey , Marchi Juliana 
Published: January 2020

Abstract
Rare Earth (RE)-containing bioactive glasses has recently gained more relevance in the field of biomaterials due to the unique optical, electronic, and chemical properties of the RE elements. In this work, the influence of gadolinium in the thermal properties of bioactive glasses based on the SiO2-Na2O-CaO-P2O5 containing different Na/Ca ratio was studied. The glasses were obtained by melting-quenching, and their properties were evaluated by differential thermal analysis, X-ray diffraction, and scanning electron microscopy. The results evidenced that Gd tends to increase the working temperature (Tc-Tg) in Ca-rich glasses, which leads to a less tendency to devitrification. On the other hand, in Na-rich glasses, Gd did not play an essential role in crystallization, and the thermal properties of Gd-containing Na-rich glasses were similar to their counterparts. In conclusion, we suggested that it is possible to control the influence of Gd in the glass devitrification by changing the Na/Ca ratio in the glass composition. These results may be interesting for further works to which crystallization may be either a desired or undesired phenomena.

AbstractIn this study, composite materials consisting in HKUST-1 [Cu3(BTC)2] (BTC: benzene 1, 3, 5-tricarboxylate) and an Indonesian activated natural zeolite (ANZ) from Klaten, Central Java, were successfully prepared and characterized. The purpose of this research was to determine the effect of the combination of these two materials on the characteristics of the composite as well as to determine its CO2 gas adsorption ability. The composite HKUST-1-ANZ (ANZ@HKUST-1) was synthesized in two different techniques, i.e., solvothermal and sonication method. The obtained materials exhibited X-ray diffractogram characteristics of both HKUST-1 and ANZ. Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) analysis showed a combination of peaks from HKUST-1 and ANZ, i.e. peaks assigned to carboxylate groups and bonds between Cu-O from HKUST-1, as well as N-H bending and SiO from ANZ. The addition of ANZ to HKUST-1 decreased its surface area and nitrogen sorption capacity. Application of the composites as CO2 capture materials shows their CO2 adsorption capacity is increased (ca. 12%) comparing to the initial materials.
The Chemical Softening Effect and Mechanism of Low Rank Coal Soaked in Alkaline Solution

Published: January 2020

AbstractIn order to analyze the feasibility of chemical softening on low rank coals, bituminous coal was collected from the Qianqiu mine in Henan Province, China, and soaked in water and alkaline solution for different lengths of time. The complete stress-strain and acoustic emission (AE) experiments on the coal samples under uniaxial compression were tested on the RMT-150B Rock Mechanics Testing System and DS2 series AE signal analyzer. The results showed that the coal samples soaked in the water and alkaline solution present different characteristics in the deformation and failure process. As we increase the soaking time, the uniaxial compressive strength and deformation degree of the soaked coal samples in the alkaline solution and water decreased by 42.7% and 94.8% respectively. In the loading test, an AE signal is generated in all coal samples and the maximum ringing count rate and AE energy rate are present near the stress maximum for a short time. Moreover, the ringing count rate and AE energy rate have a good consistency with the stress-strain of the coal samples. The cumulative ringing count of the two groups soaked in water and alkaline solution decreased by 51% and 89% compared to the original coal sample. However, the decreased degree of the samples soaked in the alkaline solution is much higher than that of those soaked in water and the results showed that the alkaline solution has a better softening effect on the coal sample. With the increase of the alkaline solution concentration, the contact angle decreased from 112.5° to 41°. Through microscope and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis of the soaked coal samples, we found that the pores and fissures increased, the structure of coal became loose, and the mechanical strength decreased sharply after soaking in the alkaline solution, thus achieving a chemical softening effect.
