Introduction. Aim of the study is testing the algorithm of complex clinical, functional and instrumental analysis in the treatment of patients with the need for total restoration of the dentition with manifestations of myofascial pain syndrome.
Material and methods. A system for the rehabilitation of patients with adentia is proposed, in which, when planning occlusion correction, objective examination data for patients obtained using a set of diagnostic methods should be taken into account. Particular attention is paid to assessing the function of the temporomandibular joint and the presence of pathological signs of disorders of maxillofacial muscles.
Results. A clinical case is described a patient who has been diagnosed with a set of indicators of clinical, functional and instrumental analysis obtained using methods of condylography and cephalometry. The results of treatment and rehabilitation measures allowed achieving the optimal distribution of loads on the dentition, while reducing the risk of ceramic chipping and improving oral hygiene. The approach used allowed timely correction of functional and aesthetic disorders.
Conclusions. The algorithm for working with patients who need total restoration of the dentition should include a thorough history taking, clinical functional analysis using condylography methods, model analysis to register and evaluate the static and dynamic ratios of the dentition. As well as performing cephalometric analysis and other manipulations, in accordance with standard criteria for clinical examination. The developed algorithm is anatomically and pathogenetically justified, since it takes into account the entirety of changes and interconnections of the structures of the dentofacial system and other body systems that underlie the clinical manifestations in this category of patients.
Is temporomandibular disfunction an occupational disease of flautists?
Authors: Parunov V. A. , Fedotova Tatiana M. , Lebedenko I. Y. 
Published: January 2021

Wind instrumentalists are prone to a number of occupational hazards that can lead to occupational diseases. C. Zaza defined these diseases as playing-related musculoskeletal disorders (PRMD). Such occupational diseases are devastating for musicians in terms of psychological health and financial state.
According to various epidemiological studies, 6286% of orchestra musicians experienced PRMD. Particularly the pressure of the mouthpiece on the lower incisors of wind instrumentalists leads to their movement and provoke periodontal diseases. Moreover, wind instrumentalists place themselves at risk of allergies and galvanism. Musicians do not seek for dental help due to the fear of spoiled embouchure (habitual position of the cheeks, tongue, and lips while playing) in spite of the range of specific oral pathologies. Flautists are of particular interest to dental practitioners because they are subjected to several risk factors; in addition to the mouthpiece pressure, they often hold instruments in an asymmetric posture, and in constrained spaces, being surrounded by the other orchestra musicians.
To learn more about the occupational hazards of flautists, we searched for the relevant literature in the central research medical library and for articles in databases eLIBRARY, PubMed, and ResearchGate using the following keywords: wind instrumentalists, flute, temporomandibular disorders, and playing-related musculoskeletal disorders.
Some studies claim that the asymmetric posture of flautist, especially in cramped conditions, affects the musicians health and leads to PRMD. Nevertheless, this research topic has been neglected, and published studies lack a strong methodology, explaining why they fail to show a strong association between TMD and flute playing. Therefore, further research is needed.

This article reviews research data on the etiology, pathogenesis, and features of inflammatory periodontal diseases, the possibilities of using hirudotherapy to treat this group of diseases, and the mechanisms of action of this method. The literature search was conducted using the databases Scopus, Web of Science, MedLine, and Global Health. The mechanisms by which medical leeches influence the human body were analyzed.
It is known that the progression of inflammatory periodontal diseases depends on risk factors such as age, smoking, gender, socio-economic factors, and some systemic diseases. The main features of chronic and acute periodontitis are periodontal pockets accompanying the loss of bone mass and attachment of the tooth to the alveolar process, which occur unevenly throughout the dentition. The decisive factor in inflammatory periodontal diseases is the presence of microorganisms. Hirudotherapy is a treatment method using the medical leech Hirudo medicinalis. In their secretion, leeches have more than 20 bioactive molecules with various effects. Their therapeutic mechanisms include six subtypes: a decrease in the content of cellular elements and neutrophils in mixed saliva, normalization of the microflora of the periodontal pocket, and an increase in the number of lactobacilli. The treatment method using leeches leads to a decrease in the depth of the periodontal pockets, normalization of the periodontal index, and tooth mobility. Hirudotherapy leads to a noticeable improvement in the clinical condition of periodontal tissues, is convenient to perform, affordable, and can be recommended for use in the practice of periodontists.

Authors: Kothari R. , Sadoughifar R , Lotti Torello , Goldust Mohamad 
Published: January 2021

Background: Antifungals are regarded as one of the first line agents in the management of seborrheic dermatitis (SD). However, the data on head to head comparison among various antifungal agents is deplete and is required to broaden the number of first line agents that can be used in SD treatment.
Aim: To compare the efficacy of 1% clotrimazole cream with 2% sertaconazole cream in the management of SD.
Methods: 60 patients of SD were included and divided into 2 groups. The first group (n = 30) received topical 2% sertoconazole cream for twice a day application for four weeks. The other group (n = 30) received 1% clotrimazole cream applied similarly for 4 weeks. The patients were assessed by an independent dermatologist for response or any side effects due to the medications used at 0 (baseline), 2 and 4 weeks. Subjective sebum production, Scalp and/or facial pruritus, scaling, erythema, SD severity index (SI), and patient satisfaction were used in the final efficacy outcome.
Results: Out of the total 60 patients, 65% (39/60) and 35% (21/60) were females and males respectively with age ranging from 658 years (mean age: 32.88 12.68 years). 45% (27/60) had generalized and 55% (33/60) had localized disease. The severity of SD changed from moderate to mild in many patients after 4 weeks in both the groups, however, the difference was statistically significant only in the sertaconazole group (p = 0.007). 90% (27/30) and 53.4% (16/30) patients had good level of satisfaction in the sertaconazole and clotrimazole group on 28TH day. The relation was statistically significant only in the seratconazole group (p = 0.006). Subjective sebum production, pruritus, scaling and erythema reduced in both the groups. The follow-up period of 1-month post completion of therapy didnt show any relapse in either of the groups.
Conclusion: Both topical 1% clotrimazole cream and topical 2% sertaconazole cream may be regarded as effective therapies in SD with topical 2% seratconazole cream performing better as compared to topical 1% clotrimazole cream in terms of patient efficacy and acceptability by the patients.

Published: January 2021

Biomarkers are particles that are released from target organs during tissue hypoxia injury. Recognizing biomarkers released from the damaged brain helps physicians determine the extent of tissue damage and the use of protective techniques in clinical treatment. Previous studies revealed that biomarkers such as brain-specific proteins (neuron-specific enolase (NSE), S100B, ubiquitincarboxy-terminal hydrolase-L1, total Tau) and cytokines, including IL-6, IL-1β, IL-10, IL-13, interferon-gamma, TNF alpha and brain-derived neurotrophic factor are useful in diagnosing hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) and predicting nerve growth outcomes. However, optimal sensitivity and specificity of these biomarkers have not been achieved, which has limited their clinical application. This review focuses on biomarkers such as lactate, LDH, NRBC, NSE, S100B, GFAP, CPK-BB, IL-6, NPBI, UCHL-1. More sensitive and accurate instruments such as brain imaging (such as brain MRI), brain function (such as NIRS, aEEG), and long-term neuroassay should be used in the future to confirm biomarkers of neonatal brain damage.

En este trabajo se reporta el efecto de la adición de subproductos de mango, jamaica y café a una formulación de almidón-gelatina para elaborar una bioplástico en forma de cuchara. Se encontró que la adición de los subproductos mejoró las propiedades mecánicas del bioplástico debido a la compatibilidad de sus componentes observados a nivel microscópico (la dureza aumento de 190 hasta 290 N). Asimismo, las propiedades físicas de los bioplásticos como el ángulo matiz (63-89), y los índices de solubilidad y absorción en agua se modificaron por la adición de subproductos. Se observó que las condiciones de máxima estabilidad de los bioplásticos obtenidas a partir del modelado de las isotermas de adsorción a 35 °C con la ecuación de GAB y el cálculo el volumen de microporo correspondieron a una actividad de agua cercana a 0.40, independientemente del subproducto agregado. Las distintas formulaciones exhibieron un evento endotérmico a una temperatura de 180ºC, asociado a un proceso de fusión, así como una elevada tasa de degradación en suelo después de 120 h. Los subproductos probaron ser un refuerzo en la formulación de bioplásticos. El uso de subproductos de mango, café y jamaica representan una alternativa interesante para incrementar su potencial tecnológico.

Published: January 2021

Abstract
Malassezia furfur is the main causative species in pityriasis versicolor infections and is now widely believed to be a part of the skin microbiota, yet it was systematically missed in the early skin metagenomic studies. Here, we curated a specific set of M. furfur sequences and used them to reanalyze publicly available skin metagenomes to computationally investigate the distribution of M. furfur and its relative abundance at different skin sites. To this end, we used BLASTN to match and align these marker genes to the selected metagenomic datasets and estimated M. furfur relative abundance as the number of BLASTN hits per million metagenomic reads. We found a relative enrichment of M. furfur in the retro auricular crease, the antecubital fossa, and the forehead. Among skin categories, sebaceous areas were the most significantly enriched in M. furfur, while in terms of exposure/occlusion, exposed areas had the highest abundance. This work will facilitate and allow the estimation and correction of past estimates of this important fungal species in shot gun metagenomic data sets.
Energy-Efficient Smart Window Based on Thermochromic Hydrogel with Ultrahigh Visible Transparency and Unprecedented Infrared Transmittance Modulation

Published: January 2021

Abstract
Both high visible transparency and strong solar modulating ability are highly required for energy-saving smart windows, but conventional responsive materials usually have low transparency and narrow solar transmittance range. Herein, we report a significant advance toward the design and fabrication of responsive smart windows by trapping novel V0.8W0.2O2@SiO2 doped poly(N-isopropyl acrylamide) (PNIPAm) thermochromic liquid hydrogel within two glass panels. The smart window is highly transparent to allow solar transmittance at low temperatures, while turns opaque automatically to cut off solar energy gain when exposed in sunlight. With a remarkably low content (1.0wt‰) of dopant, V0.8W0.2O2@SiO2/PNIPAm (VSP) hydrogels exhibit ultrahigh luminous transmittance Tlum of 92.48% and solar modulation ∆Tsol of 77.20%. The superior performance is mainly attributed to that V0.8W0.2O2@SiO2 doping induces PNIPAm particles’ size reduction and internal structure change. W-doping decreases the phase transition temperature (Tc) of VO2 from 68 ºC to ~30 ºC (close to the Tc of PNIPAm), contributing to an unprecedented infrared transmittance modulation. Especially, the smart window shows excellent energy-saving during daytime outdoor demonstrations where practically achievable cooling temperature reaches up to 15.1 ºC. In addition, the smart window exhibits outstanding stability, as embodied by unchanged optical performance even after 100 transparency-opaqueness reversible cycles. This new type of thermochromic hydrogel offering unique advantages of shape-independence, scalability together with soundproof functionality promises potential applications in energy-saving buildings and greenhouses.
Attitude of Medical Students Towards Neurology, Faculty of Medicine, University of Khartoum 2019: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Authors: Mohammed Abdelhaleem , Musa Muneer 
Published: January 2021

Abstract
Background: Medical students have unfavorable attitude towards Neurology and often perceive it as the most difficult medical specialty. This perception is described as " neurophobia " in the medical literature and its effects and potential solutions are being investigated in many countries around the world.Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted in which a questionnaire was administered to a sample of third, fourth, fifth and sixth years’ medical students at Faculty of Medicine, University of Khartoum. The sample size was 310 selected through stratified, systematic random sampling technique. In this study, the questionnaire includes the following aspects: demographic data, assessment of the level of interest in Neurology as a future career, evaluating the satisfaction with the neurosciences course, identifying the factors which affect the attitude of students towards Neurology, highlighting the most useful strategies in teaching Neurology.Results: Females constituted 71% of the respondents. 37.4% of the students had little or no interest and only 9.4% were strongly interested in Neurology.46.8% of the students graded their satisfaction with the course as neutral (i.e.: moderate) and 30.6% were unsatisfied with the delivered course (6.8% of them were strongly unsatisfied). Limited exposure to neurological patients and separation of basic sciences teaching from clinical application were considered as the top contributing factors to formation of this negative perception towards Neurology. Increased exposure to neurological patients, three dimensional simulators, video recordings, online resources as well as improving teaching skills of the lecturers were labeled as the most fruitful strategies to make progress in Neurology teaching.Conclusion: This study reveals that 'neurophobia' probably affects a considerable proportion of medical students in Khartoum University. It reflects the possible contributing factors; Besides It encourages the stakeholders to modify the current approach to neuroscience and neurology education, and in this regard, it puts forward several strategies to make an evolution in this arena.
Prospects of Ocimum Gratissimum Linn. (Lamiaceae) to Control Exorista SorbillansWiedemann (Diptera: Tachinidae) Menace of Silkworm in Seriecosystem
Authors: Khanikor Bulbuli , Bora Dipsikha 
Published: January 2021

Abstract
Tachinid parasitoids are in focus mostly as biocontrol agents to be released against lepidopteran pest. But surprisingly certain tachinid parasitoids attack economically beneficial insects like silkworm and demands control measures against them. The uzi fly Exoristasorbillans (Diptera: Tachinidae) infests all commercially important silkworm species including Antheraeaassamensis where it causes upto 80 percent crop loss. The control of such parasitoids is a difficult task as the larval stage is endoparasitic and chemical insecticides do not reach the targeted parasitoid without exposing the silkworm host.In the present study,we evaluated adulticidal activity of different solvent extracts and essential oil of Ocimumgratissimum. We found higher efficacy of essential oil in comparison to other solvent extracts. The effective fraction of oil was found to contain thymol or its isomer carvacrol as the major compound in GC-MS studies. Finally, O. gratissimum oil-based combination (MI) and carvacrol based combination of essential oil compounds (MII) were prepared, tested and found to be effective against the fly. In silico positive interaction of essential oil compounds with acetylcholinesterase enzyme model of the fly revealed that the said enzyme is one of the target proteins for these oil compounds to interrupt its function and subsequent lethal action.
