Published: December 2024

ABSTRACT

Aims:
To evaluate the effectiveness of omeprazole mixed with calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2), as intracanal medicament in eliminating Enterococcus faecalis.

Materials and Methods:
Our study included 93 extracted mandibular premolars. A total of 15 μL of 0.5 McFarland standard E. faecalis (ATCC 29212) was inoculated into each canal and incubated at 36.5°C for 24 h. The specimens were divided into three groups: Group I (n = 30), control group without intracanal medicament, Group II (n = 30) with Ca(OH)2 and Group III (n = 30) with omeprazole and Ca(OH)2. The numbers of colony forming units (CFUs) were counted after 24 h. The same procedure was repeated after 7 and 14 days for the remaining samples.

Statistical Analysis Use:
Statistical analysis was performed using the analysis of variance (ANOVA) test (P < 0.05).

Results:
We found a significant reduction in the colony-forming unit count in the omeprazole– Ca(OH)2 group. In the Ca(OH)2 group, the number of CFUs was significantly higher than in the omeprazole–Ca(OH)2 group.

Conclusion:
Omeprazole mixed with Ca(OH)2 was more effective than Ca(OH)2 alone in eliminating E. faecalis.

Authors: Parihar Anuj S. , Khare Neha , Bayyapu Sneha , Kaur Maninderjit , Kochar Deepak , Laddha Rashmi 
Published: December 2024

ABSTRACT

Background:
Chronic respiratory diseases (CRDs) significantly impact quality of life and are linked to systemic inflammation. This study explores the potential connection between oral and respiratory health by investigating the benefits of integrating periodontal therapy into pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) for CRD patients.

Objective:
This randomized controlled trial (RCT) assessed the impact of periodontal therapy combined with PR on lung function, quality of life, and systemic inflammation in CRD patients.

Methods:
2500 adults with CRDs and moderate to severe periodontal disease were randomized to receive standard PR or PR plus periodontal therapy. The primary outcome was the change in forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1). Secondary outcomes included quality of life, inflammatory markers, and periodontal health parameters.

Results:
The combined therapy group showed significantly greater improvements in FEV1 (P < 0.001), quality of life (P < 0.05), and inflammatory markers (P < 0.01) compared to the PR-only group. Significant improvements were also observed in all periodontal health parameters in the combined therapy group.

Conclusion:
Integrating periodontal therapy into PR programs provides additional benefits for CRD patients, suggesting a potential mechanism through which addressing periodontal inflammation positively impacts overall health. These findings support the inclusion of periodontal therapy as an adjunctive treatment strategy in CRD management.
Effect of Bleaching on Surface Roughness of White Spot Lesions Treated with Different Modalities of Resin Infiltration: An Vitro Study
Authors: Alshahrani Aidel Abdullah , Elrashid Afra 
Published: December 2024

ABSTRACT

Background:
This experimental study evaluated the effect of resin infiltrant (RI) application modalities and bleaching on surface roughness (SR) of the RI white spot lesions (WSLs).

Methods:
Ninety-six extracted sound premolar teeth were selected, and their coronal part was embedded in a self-cure acrylic resin block. After demineralization, the samples were randomly divided into four study groups (n = 24) based on treatment modalities used: Group 1, etched + RI; Group 2, 1 time etched + 2 times RI; Group 3, 2 times etched + 1 time RI; and Group 4, 2 times etched + 2 times RI. Later all teeth were subjected to bleaching. The SR was assessed using an optical profilometer, post-bleaching, and RI in all groups.

Results:
Two-way ANOVA confirmed the significance of “Treatment” and the interaction effect between “Group” and “Treatment.” While the t-test confirmed significant differences in SR when compared to the effect of RI and bleaching among the groups (P < 0.05).

Conclusion:
Bleaching can negatively impact the SR of resin-infiltrated WSLs and affect it significantly.

Published: December 2024

ABSTRACT

Background:
Periodontal health is a critical component of overall oral health, influenced by factors such as age, gender, and specific dental regions.

Materials and Methods:
This study involved a cohort of participants with a gender distribution of 60% female and 40% male. The BPE scores were assessed for six sextants in the oral cavity. The mean BPE scores were calculated for each sextant, and correlations between age and BPE scores were analyzed. Inferential analysis using t-tests was conducted to evaluate gender differences in BPE scores across sextants.

Results:
The gender distribution showed a higher number of female participants (60%) compared to male participants (40%). The mean BPE scores indicated that sextants 1, 3, and 5 had relatively higher scores, with means of 1.5, 1.5, and 1.7, respectively, suggesting more periodontal issues compared to sextants 2, 4, and 6, which had mean scores of 0.8, 1.2, and 1.0, respectively. The correlation matrix highlighted a strong positive correlation between age and BPE scores for sextants 1 and 3 (0.835), indicating a higher incidence of periodontal issues with increasing age. Sextant 4 also showed a moderate correlation with age (0.694). T-tests revealed no statistically significant differences in BPE scores between genders for all sextants, with P values greater than 0.05.

Conclusions:
The study underscores the influence of age on periodontal health, particularly in sextants 1, 3, and 4, while gender does not significantly impact BPE scores. These findings emphasize the need for targeted dental care and monitoring, especially for older adults, to maintain periodontal health.
Simultaneously preperiodic points for a family of polynomials in positive characteristic
Authors: Ghioca Dragos 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
In the goundbreaking paper [BD11] (which opened a wide avenue of research regarding unlikely intersections in arithmetic dynamics), Baker and DeMarco prove that for the family of polynomials

$f_\lambda (x):=x^d+\lambda $

(parameterized by

$\lambda \in \mathbb {C}$

), given two starting points a and b in

$\mathbb {C}$

, if there exist infinitely many

$\lambda \in \mathbb {C}$

such that both a and b are preperiodic under the action of

$f_\lambda $

, then

$a^d=b^d$

. In this paper, we study the same question, this time working in a field of characteristic

$p>0$

. The answer in positive characteristic is more nuanced, as there are three distinct cases: (i) both starting points a and b live in

${\overline {\mathbb F}_p}$

; (ii) d is a power of p; and (iii) not both a and b live in

${\overline {\mathbb F}_p}$

, while d is not a power of p. Only in case (iii), one derives the same conclusion as in characteristic

$0$

(i.e., that

$a^d=b^d$

). In case (i), one has that for each

$\lambda \in {\overline {\mathbb F}_p}$

, both a and b are preperiodic under the action of

$f_\lambda $

, while in case (ii), one obtains that also whenever

$a-b\in {\overline {\mathbb F}_p}$

, then for each parameter

$\lambda $

, we have that a is preperiodic under the action of

$f_\lambda $

if and only if b is preperiodic under the action of

$f_\lambda $

.

UTexGen: High‐quality texture reconstruction for large‐scale scenes using multi‐view images
Authors: Kim Hye‐Sun , Ban Yun‐Ji , Park Chang‐Joon 
Published: December 2024

AbstractWhen reconstructing extensive terrain, it is essential to partition it into smaller tiles for individual processing. This paper introduces a texture reconstruction approach that ensures seamless and consistent final outputs, even when processed tile by tile. Among the stages of multi‐view image‐based reconstruction, texture reconstruction presents significant challenges during tile‐based processing. Relying solely on local tile‐level data complicates achieving precise texture mapping. The absence of occlusion details between tiles can lead to selecting incorrect images as the best visible ones or adjusting tile texture colors differently, resulting in noticeable grid‐like texture seams in the final result. To mitigate these issues, we leverage global depth maps to accurately detect occlusions between neighboring tiles. Furthermore, by utilizing a shared texture candidate list, we establish uniform targets for texture color correction across tiles. Experimental findings demonstrate that leveraging global information for texture reconstruction on a tile‐by‐tile basis enables the creation of smooth and realistic texture maps, as validated through comparisons with existing methodologies.

Background Music, Urban Soundscapes, and Small Listening

This article examines the experiences of background music in urban spaces from the perspective of aural diversity. We study the experiences of individuals whose temporal or permanent auditory capacities, sensory experiences, or interpretations of soundscapes differ from prevailing socio-cultural norms of listening. Our approach draws on Marja-Liisa Honkasalo’s concept of small agency, which, in our study, highlights the small listening strategies individuals employ to navigate challenging sound environments. The data consists of sound diaries and interviews, analyzed through a transactional lens. The findings reveal that listeners’ agency is dynamic and situational, and that unmanaged elements of background music can either constrain their agency or foster creative responses. We argue that these aurally diverse experiences and their small listening strategies provide valuable insights into our listening cultures and challenge the auditory design of urban spaces to better accommodate aural diversity.
Sedimentary record of historical seismicity in a small, southern Oregon lake

Published: December 2024

Abstract. We compare event deposits from the historical portion of the sedimentary record from lower Acorn Woman Lake, Oregon, to historical records of regional events to determine if the lake records Cascadia megathrust earthquakes. We use the sedimentological characteristics and X-ray fluorescence (XRF) provenance of disturbance deposits (labeled A–J) from the historical portion (∼1650 CE and younger) of the record to discriminate between deposit types. We show that earthquake-triggered deposits can be differentiated from flood deposits, and Cascadia megathrust earthquake deposits can be differentiated from other types of earthquake deposits. Event deposit J dates close to 1700 CE (1680–1780 CE) through multiple approaches, suggesting it was the result of shaking from the M8.8–9.2 1700 CE Cascadia megathrust earthquake. Event deposits H and I are interpreted to be the result of the ∼M7.0 1873 CE Brookings earthquake, which is explained here to be a crustal earthquake immediately followed by a subduction earthquake. These results demonstrate the usefulness of lake sediments to infer earthquake hazards in Cascadia.

Published: December 2024

Human papillomavirus (HPV)-associated oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) is a distinct subset characterized by better treatment responses and higher survival rates. Clinical and morphological aspects are crucial for diagnosis. Here we report two additional cases of HPV-associated OPSCC. Case 1: A 46-year-old male smoker and alcoholic presented with a 6 cm asymptomatic destructive ulcer involving multiple areas of the oropharynx. Microscopic analysis revealed non-keratinizing squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) with strong and diffuse cytoplasmatic and nuclear positivity for p16 in the tumor cells on IHC and ISH for HPV16/18 revealed the presence of viral DNA in a dot-like pattern. Case 2: A 53-year-old male smoker and alcoholic complained of dysphagia and exhibited erythematous areas in the uvula. Microscopically, a basaloid SCC was observed. Assessment of p16 expression showed diffuse moderate nuclear and cytoplasmatic positivity and ISH for DNA HPV16/18 also demonstrated dot-like signals. The present cases highlight the clinical and microscopical aspects of HPV-associated OPSCC. Pathologists and clinicians must remain vigilant in identifying HPV-associated OPSCC, even in cases where there is a history of alcohol and tobacco consumption. Assessment of p16 immunohistochemical patterns and ISH analysis are crucial to better understand the scenario of HPV-associated OPSCC in middle-income countries.

“Un cobijo para el arte”: Lo local como resistencia en Casa Managua, Tucumán (2007-2017)
Authors: Orquera Fabiola 
Published: December 2024

Between 2007 and 2017 existed in Tucumán, north-western province in Argentina, a cultural bar that became a reference place for the alternative circuit and that since 2009 counted on a place allocated for alive folklore sessions. Given the singularity and relevance of this space for the local and national scene, the purpose of this article is locate this experience as link of a federal history of Argentinean popular culture and articulate an interpretation about the relationships between politics, nation and folklore in the years of Kirchnerism.
Our itinerary is built through three interviews to key-actors of this process: Nancy Pedro -singer, composer and cultural manager-, in the charge of the musical agenda between 2007 and 2015; Ariel Alberto, guitar player and soundman; and Gustavo Moyano, music teacher, guitar player and founder partner in charge of the performance’s lounge of the place. Also, this research counted on testimonies of Juan Falú, Lucho Hoyos and Topo Encinar, well-known artists who used to play there, and of frequent visitors at Casa Managua, besides of consulting newspaper’s news. This experience is analyzed considering the category on “denial of coevalness” developed by Jesús Martín-Barbero and the relationship between music and identity, according to Pablo Vila’s view.
