Conclusiones: Una atención adecuada en el manejo se traduce en la reducción de la morbimortalidad materno-neonatal, que pueden ser controlados mediante intervenciones no quirúrgicas.
Four-Class System (sideng renzhi 四等人制) of Administration During the Yuan Dynasty (1271–1368) in China
Authors: Frank Tatiana 
Published: January 2025

Mongol rule in China stands as a remarkable example of the amalgamation of two distinct cultures—one sedentary and one agricultural. The progression of the Mongol conquest in both northern and southern China warrants special attention. Initially, the Mongol campaigns in northern China (1211–1234) were marked by excessive cruelty, city destruction, the conversion of lands into pastures, and the displacement of the conquered population. However, this strategy proved to be unproductive, yielding minimal benefits for the Mongols. The strategic proposal presented by Yelü Chucai 耶律楚材 (1189–1243), an adviser to Genghis Khan (Mong. Činggis qaγan, Temüǰin 1162–1227) and Ögedei Khan (Mong. Ögedei qaγan, 1186–1241), compelled the conquerors to reassess their subsequent plans. During the reign of the Mongols in China, the population was divided into four groups: the Mongols, the semu 色目, the northern Chinese, and the southern Chinese. The ethnic hierarchy during the Yuan Dynasty was a structured system that categorised the population into distinct classes, primarily to facilitate governance and maintain social order within the diverse and vast empire. This hierarchy had significant implications for the social, political, and economic life of the people under the Mongol rule. Moreover, the Mongols created their own centralised administrative system, which mostly excluded the Chinese from key government positions. The Chinese were often assigned to minor positions or given fewer opportunities for promotion. This study delves into the traits of the four-class system and the Mongol administrative system in China. The ethnic policy implemented by the Mongols against the conquered people during the Yuan dynasty had a significant impact on social relations, economic activity, and political stability in China, which partially contributed to the dynasty’s later downfall
cogsworth: A Gala of COSMIC Proportions Combining Binary Stellar Evolution and Galactic Dynamics
Authors: Wagg Tom , Breivik Katelyn , Renzo Mathieu , Price-Whelan Adrian M. 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
We present cogsworth, an open-source Python tool for producing self-consistent population synthesis and galactic dynamics simulations. cogsworth allows users to (1) sample a population of binaries and star formation history, (2) perform rapid (binary) stellar evolution, (3) integrate orbits through the galaxy, and (4) inspect the full evolutionary history of each star or compact object, along with their positions and kinematics. It supports postprocessing hydrodynamical zoom-in simulations for more realistic galactic potentials and star formation histories, accounting for initial spatial stellar clustering and complex potentials. Alternatively, several analytic models are available for galactic potentials and star formation histories. cogsworth can also transform the intrinsic simulated population into an observed population using dust maps, bolometric correction functions, and survey selection functions. We provide a detailed explanation of the functionality of cogsworth and demonstrate its capabilities through a series of use cases: (1) we predict the spatial distribution of compact objects and runaways in both dwarf and Milky Way–like galaxies; (2) using a star cluster from a hydrodynamical simulation, we show how supernovae can change the orbits of stars in several ways; and (3) we predict the separation of disrupted binary stellar companions on the sky and create a synthetic Gaia color–magnitude diagram. We use cogsworth to demonstrate that both binarity and the galactic potential have a significant impact of the present-day positions of massive stars. We designed cogsworth and its online documentation to provide a powerful tool for constraining binary evolution, but also a flexible and accessible resource for the entire community.✎

Effect of integrated naturopathy, yoga and acupuncture therapy in improving balance and gait in a rare case of cortico-basal ganglionic degeneration with atypical Parkinsonism
Authors: Shukla Deepa , Rao Raghavendra , Patel Tarang 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Cortico-basal degeneration (CBD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder described by unilateral rigidity and apraxia. The clinical presentation may include dystonia, myoclonus and tremor along with motor speech disorders and cortical sensory loss. At present, no definite approved treatment is available for alleviating the symptoms. Hence, the use of non-pharmacological therapies assumes significance. The purpose of the study is to demonstrate the role of yoga, naturopathy and acupuncture in the case of CBD. The case study was a 61-year-old female who presented with complaints of difficulty in walking, weakness of left upper and lower limbs along with abnormal speech and vision. Later, she was diagnosed with CBD and managed with integrated naturopathy, yoga therapy, acupuncture therapy, physiotherapy and dietary modifications along with conventional medicine. With an integrated approach given for 15 days, the patient demonstrated an increase in the gait and balance score. The patient was assessed using the Berg Balance Scale and Tinetti Gait and Balance Assessment Tool. The presented case report indicates the role of alternative therapy in CBD.

Authors: Thrisha Shivakumar , Avanthika Balu , Swathi Paetaehalli Shivappa , Bhavana Mandara , Saoji Apar Avinash 
Published: January 2025

Abstract

Background and Objective:
In the subcutaneous tissue, varicose veins are visible as swollen, convoluted veins. Since there are no scientific studies on the use of naturopathic modalities for varicose veins.

Materials and Methods:
we observed seven female teachers with working experience more than five years, they underwent naturopathic modalities (cabbage paste and neutral leg pack) for eight weeks on an alternate basis later they were followed up for 2 weeks during which they were asked to continue the intervention.

Results:
In comparison to the Aberdeen’s Varicose Vein Questionnaire (AVVQ) scores following intervention each of them reported less discomfort, ankle swelling, discoloration, itching and interference with leisure and work. In regard to venous Doppler their Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) scores remarkably reduced. Throughout the intervention and follow up no negative occurrences were observed.

Conclusion:
The current case series thus suggests a potential role for naturopathic treatments in treating teachers with varicose veins.
Use of Tamoxifen in Treatment of Pubertal Gynecomastia, Data from a Tertiary Care Hospital
Authors: Acharya Shrikrishna V. 
Published: January 2025

Background:
Pubertal gynecomastia is the most common breast swelling seen in adolescent males. It may affect up to 70% of male adolescents, with a peak age of appearance around 14 years. However, it may cause significant psychological disturbance, depression, and also mastalgia. Hence, we decided to analyze our data of tamoxifen treatment in pubertal gynecomastia.

Methods:
We did a retrospective study of all adolescent boys who presented to us with a history of unilateral or bilateral breast enlargement. We collected the data of all patients who were treated with tamoxifen 10 mg twice daily.

Results:
We included 45 patients in this study. The mean age of presentations was 14.2 years (standard deviation –3.8 years). Of these, 28 patients (62.2%) had bilateral gynecomastia and 17 patients (37.8%) had unilateral gynecomastia. The majority of them complained of mastalgia, i.e., 41 patients (91.1%). Of these 45 patients, 36 (80%) patients had complete response with disappearance of breast swelling with tamoxifen treatment. Five patients had considerable reduction in the size of swelling. Only four patients did not respond to the treatment, although they had mild reduction in size. Subsequently, these four patients underwent surgical resection since they had significant breast enlargement even after therapy. All patients with mastalgia responded to tamoxifen therapy with disappearance of pain within 3 months of treatment.

Conclusion:
Tamoxifen is safe for the treatment of pubertal gynecomastia. It is useful in not only in decreasing the pain but also causes complete disappearance of swelling in the significant number of patients if treatment is started early.
Salivary Glucose as a Chairside Screening Tool for Diabetes and Periodontal Disease in Diabetic and Non-diabetic Subjects-A Cross-sectional Study
Authors: Kaur Manmeet , Kapoor Shalini , Bhardwaj Amit 
Published: January 2025

Background:
Diabetes mellitus is conceivably among the most ancient diseases recognized by humankind. Periodontal disease is the inflammation of the periodontal tissues surrounding the tooth. Periodontitis and diabetes mellitus are two medical conditions that closely correlate with overt inflammatory processes. The most common method for estimating average glucose levels in a diabetic individual is through blood analysis. Blood glucose estimation is often invasive, uncomfortable, and painful. Considering this, it seems imperative to develop a painless, noninvasive technique for tracking a diabetic patient’s sugar levels.

Materials and Methods:
This cross-sectional study was planned on 289 subjects wherein the parameters recorded were random blood glucose, salivary glucose levels, and periodontal pocket depth. Random blood glucose was recorded using a capillary prick test. A lancet was used to prick the finger and record the random blood glucose with a glucometer. An unstimulated saliva sample was collected and placed on the test strip connected to a glucometer. The readings thus obtained were recorded. The periodontal pocket depth was calculated using a calibrated periodontal probe (UNC-15).

Results:
The findings of this study show a positive relationship between random blood glucose, salivary glucose, and periodontal pocket depth. Salivary glucose can provide insight into the plasma glucose level of diabetic individuals, making it a valuable, noninvasive tool for regular glucose monitoring.

Conclusion:
Overall, the results imply that salivary glucose estimation is a safe, noninvasive, and painless method to determine glycemic control in a diabetic individual. An association between salivary glucose, blood glucose, and periodontal pocket depth indicates that comprehensive oral and periodontal care could potentially be useful in regulating glycemic control and lowering the risk of complications associated with diabetes.
Beliefs, Cultural, and Religious Aspects of Organ Donation: A Focus Group Study among College Students in South India
Authors: Joseph Thresiamma , Aranha Priya Reshma 
Published: January 2025

Background:
Although thousands of lifesaving organ transplants are performed every year, there remains an unmet need for organ donation (OD) worldwide. Many factors such as values, beliefs, culture, and religion inhibit the donation of organs. This study elicited the beliefs, cultural, and religious aspects of OD among college students.

Materials and Methods:
Eleven focus groups were conducted in 7 colleges, where 79 students aged 21–23 years pursuing the final year of Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Commerce, Bachelor of Computer Application, and Bachelor of Business Administration were interviewed. Students’ responses related to the opinions, ideas, and perceptions regarding beliefs, cultural, and religious aspects of OD were recorded and transcribed. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis.

Results:
Ten themes (with subthemes) emerged from the focus groups: a noble act to be encouraged, strong family opposition, psychological dimensions, myths, ethical dilemmas, knowledge deficits, strong religious conviction, reciprocal benefit, cultural facet, and moral considerations.

Conclusion:
Students and youth could be change agents in OD. Although OD is considered a generous, lifesaving gift, making positive decisions about OD is an individual choice. Our findings suggest that the beliefs and cultural and religious values affect the donation consent system and must be addressed.

Authors: Shetty Pratiksha Shankar , Gangurde Arti P. , Chauhan Manish R. , Jaiswal Niraja V. , Salian Pradnya R. , Singh Vikram 
Published: January 2025

Introduction:
Accurate implant impressions are crucial for successful prosthetic rehabilitation. Digital impressions using intraoral scanners (IOS) have emerged as an alternative to conventional techniques. Various factors influence the accuracy of digital implant impressions, including scan body design, scanning protocol, and splinting techniques.

Aim and Objective:
To evaluate the difference between splinted and nonsplinted scan bodies in the accuracy of digital impressions for single or multiple implants by measuring distance and angular deviations between superimposed digital impressions.

Materials and Methods:
PRISMA guidelines were followed in this systematic review. Electronic databases were searched for relevant studies published up to January 2024. Inclusion criteria encompassed clinical trials, in vivo and in vitro studies on scan bodies in partially or fully edentulous arches. Two reviewers independently assessed abstracts, titles and full texts. Data extraction included distance deviation, angular deviation, trueness, and precision measurements.

Discussion:
Most studies found that scan body splinting improved the accuracy of digital implant impressions, particularly for complete-arch cases. Splinting techniques varied, including light-cured resin, pattern resin, dental floss, and custom-made splints. Factors such as the inter-implant distance, number of implants and choice of IOS also influenced accuracy. However, some studies reported no significant improvement or even negative effects of splinting on accuracy.

Conclusion:
Splinting scan bodies generally improves the accuracy of digital implant impressions, especially for complete-arch cases. It enhances the stitching process in digital workflows and provides more stable reference points. However, the effectiveness may vary depending on the specific clinical situation, scanning protocol, and IOS used. Further research is needed to establish standardized protocols and evaluate long-term clinical outcomes of digitally fabricated implant restorations based on splinted scan body impressions.
The synergism of occlusal splints along with therapeutic exercise on individuals with temporomandibular joint disorders – A pilot study
Authors: Bachani Tanuj , Raza Fathima Banu , Vaidyanathan Anand Kumar 
Published: January 2025

Aim:
Aberrative occlusal contacts were associated with Temporomandibular disorder (TMD), but whether stabilization splints with therapeutic exercises alleviate the symptoms is unclear. Hence, this study aims to compare the short-term efficacy of occlusal splint therapy and the synergistic effect of therapeutic exercise with occlusal splint therapy for 3 weeks in individuals with TMD.

Settings and Design:

in-vivo observational pilot study.

Materials and Methods:
Fourteen participants were grouped based on the type of treatment: Group A, assigned with combination therapy, stabilization splint with therapeutic exercises, and Group B, with only stabilization splint therapy. Surface electromyography (EMG) was taken to evaluate the masseter and temporalis muscle activity at baseline and 2nd week. The patient’s perception of TMD was evaluated using the Fonseca questionnaire at baseline, 48 h, 14th, and 21st days.

Statistical analysis:
Chi-square statistical analysis was applied to the quantitative data obtained from the Fonseca questionnaire and EMG analysis, with P < 0.05 as significant.

Results:
Fonseca questionnaire revealed a significant difference between the two groups at 48 h (P < 0.05). EMG outcome showed no significant difference between the groups at baseline and 14th day (P > 0.05). However, the mean muscle activity recorded at the masseter in Group B was increased on 14th day (56.5 ± 3 μV) and an isotonic muscle pattern was observed in Group A.

Conclusion:
Combination therapy, which included stabilization splint and home care exercises for moderate to severe TMD patients, led to earlier curative changes in the temporomandibular joint and improved functional jaw movements, along with a reduction in pain. An isotonic muscle activity pattern was also observed, confirming the effect of combination therapy.

Published: January 2025

Aim:
This study aims to enhance the scannability of Type III alpha gypsum by incorporating an opacifier and to evaluate its effect on the LSE property.

Setting and Design:

In vitro – Comparative study.

Materials and Methods:
The base powder of Type III alpha gypsum was divided into three groups: Group I (100 g of base powder), Group II (90 g of base powder with 10 g of TiO2), and Group III (80 g of base powder with 20 g of TiO2). The study had two parts: First, scanning the mixtures to determine the best scannable material; second, testing for LSE using a plaster extensometer with 0.01 mm precision. Each group’s scannability was assessed using a Medit lab scanner, and their LSE was measured.

Statistical Analysis Used:
One-way ANOVA with Tukey’s post-hoc test for multiple comparisons.

Results:
Results showed that there was a statistical significance between the three groups. However, there was a decrease in the LSE with an increase in the concentration of the titanium dioxide (TiO2). Group III has shown superior scanning properties compared to the other groups.

Conclusion:
Type III alpha gypsum reinforced with 20% TiO2 as an opacifier has exhibited superior scanning properties and there was a statistically significant decrease in the LSE between all three groups with increase in the concentrations of TiO2.

Authors: Jangade Manish , Sharma Ranu , Sudharson Nishanth A. , Jain Raj , Sahu Shailendra Kumar , Dani Anurag 
Published: January 2025

Aim:
The aim of this study was to compare the marginal accuracy of polyetheretherketone (PEEK) and zirconia copings fabricated using computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology, and to assess the impact of their material properties on accuracy when produced with a 4-axis milling system under controlled conditions.

Settings and Design:
The study employed an in vitro design with a stainless steel die model featuring a 6 mm axial wall height, a 6-degree total occlusal convergence, and a radial shoulder finish line.

Materials and Methods:
Thirty stone dies were created from silicone impressions of the metal die and poured using type-IV dental stone. The dies were divided into two groups: Group-A (PEEK) copings and Group-B (zirconia) copings. All copings were fabricated using a CAD/CAM system. Vertical marginal accuracy was assessed with a stereomicroscope and image analysis software at ×20 magnification. The marginal gaP values were subjected to a student (independent) t-test for statistical analysis.

Statistical Analysis Used:
The statistical analysis involved a student (independent) t-test to compare the marginal gaP values between Group A (PEEK) and Group B (zirconia).

Results:
The mean marginal discrepancy for Group A (PEEK) and Group B (zirconia) was 92.84 μm ± 3.48 μm and 63.12 μm ± 31.47 μm, respectively. A statistically significant variation (t = 3.635, P = 0.001) between the groups was observed, indicating better marginal accuracy with zirconia copings compared to PEEK copings.

Conclusion:
Both PEEK and zirconia copings demonstrated vertical marginal discrepancies within the clinically acceptable limit of <120 μm. However, zirconia copings exhibited superior marginal accuracy in this in vitro study.
