Резюме. Захворювання пародонта посідають друге місце за частотою і поширеністю після карієсу та залишаються актуальною проблемою у стоматології. Дана патологія виникає унаслідок дії цілого ряду факторів. Особливо часто патологічні процеси в пародонті зустрічаються у пацієнтів із загальносоматичними захворюваннями, зокрема в осіб із хворобами шлунково-кишкового тракту. Проведено порівняльне вивчення видового складу анаеробної мікрофлори пародонтальних кишень у пацієнтів із запально-деструктивними захворюваннями тканин пародонта на тлі Helicobacter pylori – асоційованої патології органів травлення після лікування, яке ми розробили.
Мета дослідження – з’ясувати клінічну ефективність місцевої терапії на мікробіоценоз ротової порожнини у пацієнтів із генералізованим пародонтитом на тлі ураження шлунково-кишкового тракту.
Матеріали і методи. Видовий склад анаеробних мікроорганізмів у пародонтальних кишенях вивчали у 52 пацієнтів (основна група) з генералізованим пародонтитом, у яких лікування захворювань пародонта проводилось із застосуванням запропонованої місцевої терапії, та 46 пацієнтів (порівняльна група) із ГП І–ІІІ ступенів тяжкості, у яких для лікування уражень тканин пародонта застосовувалась базисна місцева терапія. Детекцію патогенів у ротовій порожнині (вміст пародонтальних кишень) здійснювали методом мультипраймерної полімерно-ланцюгової реакції. Як засіб патогенетичної місцевої фармакотерапії, застосовували у вигляді аплікацій на ясна гель «Холісал». У якості місцевої фізіотерапії хворим на ГП І–ІІІ ступенів тяжкості основної групи проводили озонотерапію за допомогою озоногенератора «OzonyMed». Задля покращення і закріплення ефектів місцевої терапії застосовували полоскання, іригації, гідромасаж мінеральною водою «Моршинська», джерела № 1.
Результати досліджень та їх обговорення. У віддалені терміни дослідження (12–18 місяців), незважаючи на незначне збільшення пацієнтів основної групи, у яких в пародонтальних кишенях були ідентифіковані анаеробні види мікроорганізмів, у 2,8 раза зменшилась кількість досліджуваних, у яких об’єктивізувались Helicobacter pylori та Treponema denticola; у 2,5 раза – з Fusobacterium nucleatum та Prevotella intermedia; в 1,7 раза – кількість носіїв Bacteroides forsythus, Porphyromonas gingivalis та Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans, (р<0,01). Кількість пацієнтів контрольної групи, де застосовувалась традиційна терапія при лікуванні ГП, у пародонтальних кишенях яких діагностувались анаеробні види мікроорганізмів, повернулась до референтних значень (р>0,05).
Висновки. Зменшення кількості пацієнтів із ГП – носіїв анаеробних видів мікроорганізмів, засвідчує адекватність лікувально-профілактичного комплексу для лікування запальних захворювань тканин пародонта, який ми застосували.

Published: December 2020

Objective:
Increased risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease in subjects with type 2 diabetes is linked to elevated levels of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins and their remnants. The metabolic effects of PCSK9 (proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin 9) inhibitors on this dyslipidemia were investigated using stable-isotope-labeled tracers.

Approach and Results:

Triglyceride transport and the metabolism of apos (apolipoproteins) B48, B100, C-III, and E after a fat-rich meal were investigated before and on evolocumab treatment in 13 subjects with type 2 diabetes. Kinetic parameters were determined for the following: apoB48 in chylomicrons; triglyceride in VLDL
1
(very low-density lipoprotein) and VLDL
2
; and apoB100 in VLDL
1
, VLDL
2
, IDL (intermediate-density lipoprotein), and LDL (low-density lipoprotein). Evolocumab did not alter the kinetics of apoB48 in chylomicrons or apoB100 or triglyceride in VLDL
1
. In contrast, the fractional catabolic rates of VLDL
2
-apoB100 and VLDL
2
-triglyceride were both increased by about 45%, which led to a 28% fall in the VLDL
2
plasma level. LDL-apoB100 was markedly reduced by evolocumab, which was linked to metabolic heterogeneity in this fraction. Evolocumab increased clearance of the more rapidly metabolized LDL by 61% and decreased production of the more slowly cleared LDL by 75%. ApoC-III kinetics were not altered by evolocumab, but the apoE fractional catabolic rates increased by 45% and the apoE plasma level fell by 33%. The apoE fractional catabolic rates was associated with the decrease in VLDL
2
- and IDL-apoB100 concentrations.

Conclusions:

Evolocumab had only minor effects on lipoproteins that are involved in triglyceride transport (chylomicrons and VLDL
1
) but, in contrast, had a profound impact on lipoproteins that carry cholesterol (VLDL
2
, IDL, LDL).

Analysis of Nationwide Stroke Patient Care in Times of COVID-19 Pandemic in Germany
Authors: Richter Daniel , Eyding Jens , Weber Ralph , Bartig Dirk , Grau Armin , Hacke Werner , Krogias Christos 
Published: December 2020

Background and Purpose:
Since the beginning of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, many countries have introduced strict hygiene measures of social distancing to prevent further spreading of the disease. This may have led to a decreased presentation to hospital of patients with acute medical conditions and time-dependent management, such as stroke.

Methods:
We conducted a nationwide cohort study using administrative database of all hospitalized patients with main diagnosis of acute ischemic stroke (AIS), transient ischemic attack, or intracerebral hemorrhage. Data from a total of 1463 hospitals in Germany were included. We compared case numbers and treatment characteristics of pandemic (March 16 to May 15, 2020) and prepandemic (January 16 to March 15, 2020) cases and also with corresponding time period in 2019.

Results:

We identified a strong decline for hospitalization of AIS (−17.4%), transient ischemic attack (−22.9%), and intracerebral hemorrhage (−15.8%) patients during the pandemic compared with prepandemic period. IVT rate in patients with AIS was comparable (prepandemic versus pandemic: 16.4% versus 16.6%,
P
=0.448), whereas mechanical thrombectomy rate was significantly higher during the pandemic (8.1% versus 7.7%,
P
=0.044). In-hospital mortality was significantly increased in patients with AIS during the pandemic period (8.1% versus 7.6%,
P
=0.006).

Conclusions:
Besides a massive decrease in absolute case numbers, our data suggest that patients with AIS who did seek acute care during the pandemic, continued to receive acute recanalization treatment in Germany.

Ἰσοδυναμέω and Translation into Greek in Sirach
Authors: Wright Benjamin G. 
Published: December 2020

Abstract
The meaning of the verb ἰσοδυναμέω in the prologue to the translation of Ben Sira has often been thought to concern semantic transfer. That is, words translated into Greek do not mean the same as their Hebrew counterparts. In an earlier article, I made some suggestions about how to read the prologue as a whole. In an article that partially responded to my earlier publication, Dries De Crom examined the root ἰσοδυναμ* in texts from the fourth century BCE to the second century CE, and demonstrated that this verb does not refer to semantic adequacy. In this article I examine some of the texts discussed by De Crom in greater detail in an attempt to bring additional specificity to the meaning of this verb in Sirach, concluding that in using the verb in a context of interlinguistic exchange, the translator created a new meaning, to have an equal rhetorical/aesthetic effect.
Levitical Singers in Rabbinic Sources: Echoes of an Ancient Dispute
Authors: Baitner Hallel 
Published: December 2020

Abstract
The Hebrew Bible reflects ambiguity concerning the historical existence of the Levites as a group distinguished from the priesthood. Post-exilic and late Second Temple sources also present a variety of voices concerning the extent to which Levites participated in the temple’s worship. This article argues that, while rabbinic sources appear to portray a straightforward retrospective description of the Levites as a group of temple-servants who are clearly subordinated to the priests and responsible for temple singing, a closer reading reveals differences of opinion. Disagreements concerning the exact place in the temple in which the Levites used to sing, reflect significantly different views concerning the status of the Levites in the temple and the importance of their singing. This rabbinic dispute echoes similar late Second Temple period controversies, and sources from the two periods may shed light on each other.
Notare e far notare la bellezza del testo: il punto di vista di alcuni glottodidatti arabi sul gusto letterario
Authors: Facchin Andrea 
Published: December 2020

Abstract
The role of literary taste (taḏawwuq adabī) in the learning and teaching of Arabic as a Foreign Language is an aspect needing further investigation nowadays, especially in non-Arab research environments. In this sense, the present contribution explores the debates on literary taste put forth by some significant Arab scholars and educators, and the resulting theories on the role of the Arabic language teacher and teaching philosophies. It puts them in connection with contemporary orientations in the field of modern language teaching (i.e. peer tutoring, holistic techniques and autonomy in language learning) not avoiding reporting some unique features (e.g. representation, good pronunciation, etc.) that enrich the discourse on literary taste and its implications in the teaching practice.
Eighteenth-Century Identified Copies of MāšāʾAllāh’s Kitāb Qiyām al-Ḫulafāʾ from Yemen: Text Edition and Contextualization
Authors: Regourd Anne 
Published: December 2020

Abstract
A copy of the Kitāb Qiyām al-Ḫulafāʾ (Book on the reign of Rulers), identified in Ḏamār, Yemen, in 1993, is dated 8 Ǧumādā Awwal 1150 AH (= Sept. 1737 AD). Under the name of the famous Jewish astrologer MāšāʾAllāh, who practised at the early ʿAbbasid Court together with the Banū Nawbaḫt, this book displays the horoscopes of the Prophet Muhammad and of the caliphs up to Hārūn al-Rašīd. E.S. Kennedy & D. Pingree offered an English translation of the Kitāb Qiyām al-Ḫulafāʾ in The Astrological History of MāšāʾAllāh, Cambridge (MA), Harvard U. Press, 1971, Appendix 2, on the basis of “two late manuscripts”, one from Berlin, the other at the Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana. Since then, K. Yamamoto & Ch. Burnett have edited the text on the basis of three manuscripts, adding one from Bursa, and offered a revised English translation. Meanwhile, I came upon a second copy of the book in Ṣanʿāʾ.
The copy preserved at the Waqf Library of Ḏamār belonged to the personal collection of a Yemeni cadi, who was a divinatory practitioner (munaǧǧim).
At the intersection of textual studies and field work, this paper, following an introduction to the text, will concentrate on the circulation of the 1150/1737 manuscript and its potential uses.
The Golden Rule in The 101 Nights’ Version of The Book of Sindbād, the Question of Literary Context and a Possible Solution Formulated in Later Arabic Versions
Authors: Lerner Amir 
Published: December 2020

Abstract
This paper presents a brief account of, and a number of comments on, the literary history of the golden rule (“do not do unto others what you dislike for yourself”) as found seemingly a bit out of context in the version of The Book of Sindbād contained in the medieval popular story collection The 101 Nights (“The Story of the Prince and the Seven Viziers”). The problem of context and its possible solution are addressed by examining other versions of The Book of Sindbād in Arabic, such as the one contained in the so-called Breslau edition of The 1001 Nights, and in various other languages.
Espace, déplacement et identité dans le roman Amīrkā (2009) de Rabīʿ Ǧābir
Authors: Censi Martina 
Published: December 2020

Abstract
In the novel Amīrkā (2009), the Lebanese novelist Rabīʿ Ǧābir narrates the story of Martha Ḥaddād, a young woman who, in 1913, leaves her village in Mount Lebanon to go to the United States of America. She is in search of her husband who left Lebanon before. The path of Martha is a physical and symbolic displacement from the village of her origins – poor and conservative – to the United States, the “New World” where a new life, rich and prosperous, seems possible. This article focuses on the role of space in shaping individual and collective identities through Martha’s paths of “deterritorialization” and “reterritorialization”. Her experience of displacement in migration is the standpoint for deconstruction and reconstruction of her individual identity which becomes the symbol of the collective search for a Lebanese national identity after the fall of the Ottoman Empire.
Prosodic Rules of wolofal Compositions
Authors: Minerba Emiliano 
Published: December 2020

Abstract
The paper focuses on the prosodic norms that rule the formation of the metrical patterns of wolofal verses. Wolofal is a genre, developed between 1800 and 1900 in Senegambia, of poetry in Wolof but composed according to Arabic metrical schemas and stanzas. From the beginning this genre used al-Ḫalīl’s metres, widely employed in Classical Arabic literature: it was therefore necessary for wolofal poets to elaborate a prosodic norm that allowed them to use the Arabic metres with their language’s phonology. Among the phonological particularities of Wolof one finds the syllabic structures CVC and CVCC, the possibility of crasis between different words, and the particular phonological status of prenasalised and geminate consonants. All these peculiarities have certain consequences for the metric and prosodic organisation of the verse, which will be analysed here both through metrical analysis of the texts studied, and by looking at the orthography adopted for the transcription of these poems in Arabic script.
Maqriziana X: al-Maqrīzī and His al-Tārīḫ al-Kabīr al-Muqaffā li-Miṣr. Part 2: The Fortunes of the Work and Its Copies
Authors: Bauden Frédéric 
Published: December 2020

Abstract
This second part of a study devoted to the history of al-Maqrīzī’s al-Tārīḫ al-Kabīr al-Muqaffā li-Miṣr retraces the history of its copies, first the holograph, then the apograph. By considering their users (readers, owners), this article focuses on the paratextual elements in the preserved copies and on references to al-Maqrīzī’s text in other works to reconstruct the itineraries of these copies across several centuries. By examining consultation notes and ownership marks, we can better understand how these manuscripts changed hands, how the text evolved over time, and how the text we have today may ultimately differ from al-Maqrīzī’s intent. Our analysis of similar paratextual marks – by owners and readers of al-Muqaffā – found in other manuscripts also helps us better understand the interactions between these users and the copies of al-Muqaffā they owned or had access to.
Physical Activity Assessment and Recommendation for Adults With Arthritis by Primary Care Providers—DocStyles, 2018
Authors: Guglielmo Dana , Murphy Louise B. , Theis Kristina A. , Helmick Charles G. , Omura John D. , Odom Erica L. , Croft Janet B. 
Published: December 2020

Purpose: To examine primary care providers' (PCPs) physical activity assessment and recommendation behaviors for adults with arthritis. Design: Cross-sectional. Setting: 2018 DocStyles online national market research survey of US physicians and nurse practitioners. Sample: 1,389 PCPs seeing adults with arthritis. Measures: 2 independent behaviors (assessment and recommendation) as 3 non-mutually exclusive groups: “always assesses,” “always recommends,” and “both” (“always assesses and recommends”). Analysis: Calculated percentages of each group (overall and by PCP characteristics), and multivariable-adjusted prevalence ratios (PRs) using binary logistic regression. Results: Among PCPs, 49.2% always assessed and 57.7% always recommended physical activity; 39.7% did both. Across all 3 groups, percentages were highest for seeing ≥20 adults with arthritis weekly (“both”: 56.4%; “always assesses”: 66.7%; “always recommends”: 71.3%) and lowest among obstetrician/gynecologists (“both”: 26.9%; “always assesses”: 36.8%; “always recommends”: 40.7%). Multivariable-adjusted associations were strongest for seeing ≥20 adults with arthritis weekly (referent: 1-9 adults) and each of “always assesses” (PR = 1.5 [95% confidence interval (CI): 1.3−1.8] and “both” (PR = 1.6 [95% CI: 1.4−1.9]). Conclusions: Approximately 40% of PCPs sampled always engaged in both behaviors (assessing and recommending physical activity) with adults with arthritis; seeing a high volume of adults with arthritis was consistently related to engaging in each behavior. Evidence-based approaches to support PCP counseling include offering provider education and training, raising awareness of available resources, and using health system supports.
Biofield Frequency Bands—Definitions and Group Differences
Authors: Rowold Jens , Hewson Paul D 
Published: December 2020

Background In the biofield literature, it is suggested that electromagnetic energy is part of the biofield. However, little is known about the exact definition of potential electromagnetic biofield frequency bands (FBs). Primary Study Objective: The current study sought to identify biofield FBs and test potential group differences. Methods/Design: High-frequency (i.e. >200 Hertz) voltage was measured at body parts along the spine and the brain. Setting Measurements were conducted in an electrically shielded laboratory. Participants Twenty experienced biofield practitioners (BPs, sample 1) and twenty-four students (STs, sample 2) participated in the study. Interventions The BPs performed a wide set of biofield exercises, while the STs participated in an assessment centre (with exercises such as role play). A total of N =  342 exercises were performed. Primary Outcome Measures: Based on surface electromyography, high-frequency (i.e., >200 Hertz) voltage was utilized as outcome measure. Results 10 FBs were identified across all the data sets. The BPs had higher spectral power across these bands compared to the STs. Conclusion The present paper presents a replicable method for the assessment of electromagnetic FBs which are potentially useful for future biofield research.

AbstractApplying machine learning to healthcare sheds light on evidence-based decision making and has shown promises to improve healthcare by combining clinical knowledge and biomedical data. However, medicine and data science are not synchronized. Oftentimes, researchers with a strong data science background do not understand the clinical challenges, while on the other hand, physicians do not know the capacity and limitation of state-of-the-art machine learning methods. The difficulty boils down to the lack of a common interface between two highly intelligent communities due to the privacy concerns and the disciplinary gap. The School of Biomedical Informatics (SBMI) at UTHealth is a pilot in connecting both worlds to promote interdisciplinary research. Recently, the Center for Secure Artificial Intelligence For hEalthcare (SAFE) at SBMI is organizing a series of machine learning healthcare hackathons for real-world clinical challenges. We hosted our first Hackathon themed centered around Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy and finding ways to recognize the warning signs. This community effort demonstrated that interdisciplinary discussion and productive competition has significantly increased the accuracy of warning sign detection compared to the previous work, and ultimately showing a potential of this hackathon as a platform to connect the two communities of data science and medicine.
