Bubble Electrospinning with an Auxiliary Electrode and an Auxiliary Air Flow
Authors: Li Xiao-Xia , He Ji-Huan 
Published: November 2019

Background:
The patented bubble electrospinning, which is a simple and effective technique
for mass-production of polymer nanofibers, has been studying extensively, but it is still under
development. In the bubble electrospinning, multiple jets move from the positive electrode to the receptor,
a long distance between the two electrodes is needed to guarantee complete solvent evaporation,
as a result a relative high voltage is needed.

Objective:
The aim of the present study is to use an auxiliary electrode and an auxiliary air flow to improve
bubble electrospinning with lower voltage and higher output than those by its traditional one.

Methods:
The modification of the bubble electrospinning with an auxiliary electrode and an auxiliary
airflow is used to fabricate nanofibers. The auxiliary electrode is close to the positive electrode. The
experiment was carried out at room temperature with 8%PVA solution. The result was analyzed with a
S4800 cold field scanning electron microscope (SEM, Hitachi S-4800, Tokyo, Japan).

Results:
The auxiliary electrode can generate a strong induced electric field force. With the action of
airflow, the jets will fly to the receptor instead of the auxiliary electrode.

Conclusion:
Both auxiliary electrode and auxiliary airflow are two important factors affecting the
spinning process. It can reduce the spinning voltage and improve spinning efficiency.
The Protective Effect of Cilostazol in Genotoxicity Induced by Methotrexate in Human Cultured Lymphocytes
Authors: Rababa’h Abeer M. , Hussein Samah A. , Khabour Omar F. , Alzoubi Karem H. 
Published: November 2019

Background:
Methotrexate is an antagonist of folic acid that has been shown to be genotoxic
to healthy body cells via induction of oxidative stress. Cilostazol is a phosphodiesterase III inhibitor and
a potent antioxidant drug.

Objectives:
To evaluate the potential protective effect of cilostazol on methotrexate genotoxicity.

Results:
Methotrexate significantly increased the frequency of CAs and SCEs (p < 0.0001) as compared
to control cultures. This chromosomal damage induced by methotrexate was considerably decreased by
pretreatment of the cells with cilostazol (P < 0.01). Moreover, the results showed that methotrexate
resulted in a notable reduction (P < 0.01) in cells kinetic parameters, the mitotic index (MI) and the
proliferative index (PI). Similarly, cilostazol significantly reduced the mitotic index, which could be
related to the anti-proliferative effect (P < 0.01).

Conclusion:
Methotrexate is genotoxic, and cilostazol could prevent the methotrexate-induced chromosomal
damage with no modulation of methotrexate-induced cytotoxicity.

Published: November 2019

AbstractThe aim of this study was to investigate the effects of dental students’ faculty group leader in clinic, intended postgraduate training, and clinic schedule on their clinical performance. This retrospective study used de‐identified transcript data from the Columbia University College of Dental Medicine Classes of 2013, 2014, and 2015, a total of 238 students. The impact factors analyzed were the assigned faculty member who served as clinical group leader and mentor; area of students’ intended postgraduate training; and variations in timing of students’ summer clinic assignments and vacations. Clinical performance, consistent with the school’s graduation criteria, was measured with summative assessments (completion of competencies); completion of care for patients assigned (case completions); and overall patient encounter rate. The results showed that group leader assignment correlated with significant differences among students in completion of cases (p=0.001), competencies completed (p<0.001), and patient encounter rate (p=0.018). Students who intended to pursue general practice residencies and prosthodontics specialty training completed fewer cases than students pursuing other types of postgraduate training (p<0.001). Students who had full‐time clinic in June and vacation later in the summer of their third‐ to fourth‐year transition completed more cases (p<0.001), completed more competencies (p=0.008), and had more patient visits (p=0.012) than those who had full‐time clinic later in the summer. There were significant correlations among case completions, completion of competencies, and patient encounter rate. Overall, this study found that the students’ intended postgraduate training, clinic schedules, and faculty mentors influenced their progress in clinical training and should be taken into consideration in student evaluation and patient care.
Dental Hygienists’ and Dentists’ Tobacco Cessation Continuing Education Preferences: Application of a Discrete Choice Method
Authors: Chaffee Benjamin W. , Urata Janelle , Silverstein Steven , Couch Elizabeth T. 
Published: November 2019

AbstractDespite ample opportunity, dental professionals frequently fall short of connecting tobacco‐using patients with effective cessation support, often citing lack of training as a barrier. To inform development of training options, the aim of this study was to quantify the preferences of practicing dental hygienists and dentists in California for continuing dental education (CDE) offerings related to tobacco and patient tobacco cessation. Two statewide surveys of California dental hygienists and dentists were conducted. In addition to providing their own and their practice characteristics, in a discrete choice experiment, participants indicated their preferences between pairs of randomly generated hypothetical tobacco cessation CDE offerings that differed in topic, cost, delivery modality, and duration. Ultimately, 641 dental hygienists (20.5% of the total invited minus those with undeliverable emails, n=3,129) and 654 dentists (8.5% of the total invited minus those with undeliverable emails, n=7,669) responded to at least one of the discrete choice items, and their responses were analyzed. The results showed that each CDE attribute was independently associated with preference. Cost and topic were more strongly associated with preference than were delivery modality and duration. Lower cost, shorter duration courses were generally favored. Alternative tobacco products and patient communication were the most popular topics for participating dental hygienists and dentists, respectively. CDE preferences differed according to participant characteristics: live webinars were the least preferred modality for more experienced dental professionals, and shorter courses were not preferred by dentists in non‐urban locations. These findings showed that these dental professionals considered multiple attributes in selecting CDE courses. To reach the broadest audience, CDE providers should offer low‐cost options across a range of delivery modalities, such as full‐day workshops in rural areas and online webinars for earlier career professionals.
A Tale of Two Teaching Methods: Students' Clinical Perspectives on Administering Dental Local Anesthetics
Authors: Wong Grace , Apthorpe Heather C. , Ruiz Kate , Nanayakkara Shanika 
Published: November 2019

AbstractVarious preclinical methodologies have been adopted by dental and oral health programs to develop student competence in administering dental local anesthetics (LA). Student‐to‐student practice is the most common preclinical training method. However, manikin simulation models have been introduced to avoid possible complications and ethical concerns with student‐to‐student injections. In 2017, the methodology was changed in the Bachelor of Oral Health program at The University of Sydney School of Dentistry in Australia from student‐to‐student practice to manikin simulation models. The aim of this study was to compare the students’ learning experience, perceived confidence, and anxiety in giving their first injections to patients in these two preclinical training methods. A mixed‐methods cohort design was used to compare the 2016 (n = 42) and 2017 (n = 32) oral health students’ experiences and perceptions and evaluate students’ clinical experience after commencing LA practice on patients. Students completed a questionnaire about their perceived level of confidence and anxiety before and after their first LA to a child and an adult for both infiltration and inferior alveolar nerve b lock (IANB) injections. Focus groups were conducted to further investigate the students’ experience. The results showed that the perceived confidence and anxiety of the two cohorts did not differ significantly from each other. Although students found it difficult to transition into clinical practice without having experienced LA themselves, the manikin simulation practice provided a safe learning platform that avoided ethical and legal concerns. These findings support the use of manikin simulation models as an alte rnative method for dental local anesthetic preclinical training.

Published: November 2019

Background
Pretravel health advice can play a crucial role in improving both travelers’ awareness about disease risk and compliance with preventive measures. General practitioners (GPs) and the internet have been reported internationally to be the main sources of health advice for travelers to non–mass gathering (MG) destinations. However, few studies have attempted to investigate the sources of health advice among travelers to MGs including the Hajj pilgrimage, and none of these studies further investigated the impact of pretravel advice on pilgrims’ health behaviors.

Objective
The objective of this study was to investigate the impact of the source of pretravel health advice (from GPs and specialized Hajj travel agents) on Hajj pilgrims’ awareness of and compliance with health recommendations, and the incidence of Hajj-associated illnesses.

Methods
A prospective cohort study (before and during Hajj) was conducted among Australian pilgrims aged ≥18 years in 2015.

Results
A total of 421 pilgrims participated prior to Hajj, and 391 (93%) provided follow-up data during Hajj. All participants obtained pretravel health advice from one or more sources, with Hajj travel agents (46%) and general practitioners (GPs; 40%) the most commonly reported sources. In total, 288 (74%) participants reported Hajj-related symptoms, of which 86% (248/288) were respiratory symptoms. Participants who obtained pretravel health advice from travel agents were more likely to be aware of the official Saudi recommendations (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 2.1, 95% CI 1.2-3.8; P=.01), receive recommended vaccines before travel (aOR 2.4, 95% CI 1.4-3.9; P=.01), use hand sanitizers including soap (aOR 2.5, 95% CI 1.1-6.1; P=.03), and wash their hands after touching an ill person during Hajj (aOR 2.9, 95% CI 1.1-7.1; P=.01), compared to those who sought advice from GPs. However, neither advice from travel agents nor GPs was associated with a lower incidence of Hajj-related illnesses.

Conclusions
Advice from travel agents appeared to be accessed by more travelers than that from GPs, and was associated with an increased likelihood of positive travel health behaviors.

UNSTRUCTURED

Good communication between health care systems and their community is vital. Historically, for a health care provider to refer a patient to a community resource, the provider communicates directly to the patient, who must independently follow up on the recommendation. In 2015, Virginia Mason Medical Center created an electronic referral system to the YMCA of Greater Seattle facilitated through its electronic medical record. Using an electronic referral system, a health care provider sends a referral to the YMCA electronically, and then the YMCA contacts the patient to enroll in their program. Here, we document the process of setting up an electronic-referral system, the impact of the electronic referral system, and discuss future possibilities of this system.

Todos sabemos que la tecnología basada en la ciencia ha conocido un avance incesante desde los tiempos de Galileo, pero los escépticos también saben que, a diferencia de las ciencias, la tecnología es ambivalente pues, aunque en gran medida es beneficiosa, una parte de ella también es dañina. Así, por ejemplo, mientras que la ciencia nuclear ha enriquecido la civilización, la ingeniería nuclear produjo los crímenes de Hiroshima y Nagasaki y nos ha vuelto escépticos ante el futuro de la vida en la tierra. Esta ambivalencia axiológica de
