Published: August 2020

Abstract
The goal of this paper is to investigate the influence of the objectively existing effectiveness functions of an aircraft control system upon the control and managerial decision making process in the framework of the subjective entropy maximum princi-ple. The subjective analysis theory entropy paradigm makes it possible to consider the aircraft control system based upon personal preferences as an active system governed by an individual (active element of the control system) with the help of her/his individual subjective preferences optimal distributions obtained in conditions of operational multi-alternativeness and those operational alternatives the active system active element’s individual subjective preferences uncertainty. The described ap-proach takes into account the simple two-alternative operational situation in regards with the objectively existing effectiveness functions, related to the aircraft control system, in the view of a controlled parameter and a combination of it with its rate as the ratio. The obtained expressions for the objective functional extremal functions of the effectiveness and preferences, as well as the subjective entropy of the alternatives preferences, illustrated in diagrams visualize the situation and allow taking a good choice. The ideas of the required proper governing, managing, and control methods choice optimization with respect to only 2 alternative objective effectiveness functions arguments might be simple; nevertheless, increasing the number of parameters and further complication of the problem setting will not change the principle of the problem solution.

Objectives To compare the effects of spinal thrust manipulation and electrical dry needling (TMEDN group) to those of nonthrust peripheral joint/soft tissue mobilization, exercise, and interferential current (NTMEX group) on pain and disability in patients with subacromial pain syndrome (SAPS). Design Randomized, single-blinded, multicenter parallel-group trial. Methods Patients with SAPS were randomized into the TMEDN group (n = 73) or the NTMEX group (n = 72). Primary outcomes included the Shoulder Pain and Disability Index and the numeric pain-rating scale. Secondary outcomes included the global rating of change scale (GROC) and medication intake. The treatment period was 6 weeks, with follow-ups at 2 weeks, 4 weeks, and 3 months. Results At 3 months, the TMEDN group experienced greater reductions in shoulder pain and disability (P<.001) compared to the NTMEX group. Effect sizes were large in favor of the TMEDN group. At 3 months, a greater proportion of patients within the TMEDN group achieved a successful outcome (GROC score of 5 or greater) and stopped taking medication (P<.001). Conclusion Cervicothoracic and upper-rib thrust manipulation combined with electrical dry needling resulted in greater reductions in pain, disability, and medication intake than nonthrust peripheral joint/soft tissue mobilization, exercise, and interferential current in patients with SAPS. The effects were maintained at 3 months. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2021;51(2):72–81. Epub 28 Aug 2020. doi:10.2519/jospt.2021.9785

Published: August 2020

Introduction: Complete loss of teeth, though not life threatening, does have a significant impact on an individual, resulting in functional, psychological, and social limitations, affecting the quality of life and general health. Oral health related quality of life describes the outcomes of oral health conditions and therapy to those conditions.
Objective: Geriatric Oral Health Assessment Index questionnaire (GOHAI) consists of 12 items that have an impact on quality of life of the older population, such as functional limitation, psycho-social limitation, and self-medication administered for dental pain. The study aimed to assess the effects of complete edentulousness before prosthodontic rehabilitation using GOHAI.
Methods: Descriptive cross-sectional questionnaire study was done among 35 completely edentulous patients prior to prosthodontic rehabilitation using standardised GOHAI questionnaire consisting of 12 items and the twelfth item was eliminated due to its irrelevancy in the study group.
Results: The mean age of the participants was 64.86±8.28 years with the mean duration of edentulousness of 4.02±5.4 years. The ability to swallow comfortably had highest mean GOHAI score (2.80±0.47) followed by use of medication to relieve pain and discomfort around the mouth. The least mean GOHAI score was found in trouble biting or chewing any kinds of food, such as firm meat or apples (1.26±0.56). However, the psychosocial impairment due to problems associated with complete edentulousness was less.
Conclusion: Complete edentulousness was associated with impairment in physical functions like trouble in biting and chewing, with a need to limit the kinds and amount of food.

Authors: Rajkarnikar Junima , Acharya Jemish , Yadav Karnika 
Published: August 2020

Introduction: Tissue destruction of supporting periodontal tissues is mediated by an overreactive immune inflammatory response to bacteria in the subgingival environment. Tissue destruction in periodontitis occurs by the stimulatory action of pro inflammatory cytokines and proteolytic enzymes released by neutrophils, macrophages, and the action of bone resorption mediators, all of which are being regulated by B and T cells. Periodontitis act as a focus of infection and bacteria metastases through blood stream to various vital organs like heart, lungs, joints and amniotic fluid.
Objective: To assess the awareness of periodontal medicine among medical students at a tertiary care center in Kathmandu.
Methods: A total of 115 subjects were taken for the present study. Data was collected using a questionnaire which included questions used to assess the knowledge about periodontal diseases and its possible effects on systemic conditions.
Results: Out of the total participants, 58 (50.4%) said that periodontal disease was not related to coronary heart diseases. Only 14 (12.2%) had an idea about the association of pre-term birth and periodontitis. While 86 (74.8%) knew the impact of diabetes on periodontium, only 34 (29.6%) said that there was an association between periodontitis and hospital acquired pneumonia.
Conclusion: Knowledge about the association of periodontal disease with various systemic conditions is not satisfactory among the various medical students of this hospital.
