Authors: Moghadasi Mehrzad , Golestaneh Arash , Ghodosi Arash , Golestani Shayan 
Published: April 2021

Introduction: The surgical removal of impacted lower third molars involves trauma to soft and bony tissue and can result in pain, swelling and trismus. The purpose of this study was to
evaluate the efficacy of dexamethasone, as a single 4 mg dose injected into the masseter muscle prior to extraction of impacted lower third molars on theses postoperative sequelae.

Materials & Methods: This prospective, randomized clinical research consisted of 43 healthy patients. The study group received 4 mg dexamethasone into the masseter muscle via intrabuccal approach immediately before starting the procedure while the control group received no corticoid. 7 days after surgery. Data were analyzed using t-test (α = 0.05).

Results: The patients administered dexamethasone showed superior results after surgery in terms of oral aperture, pain and all the facial swelling parameters, with statistically
significant differences versus the controls (p value<0.001). Also there was statistically significant difference in terms of patients trismus between case and controlgroups (p value<0.001).

Conclusion: The results obtained showed that 4 mg of dexamethasone injected into the masseter muscle in the immediately before starting the procedure significantly reduces
swelling, trism us and pain.
Immediate Fixation Versus Late Osteotomy for an Unusual Scapula Body Fracture
Authors: McClelland Damian , Mishra Bhanu , Grocott Natalie 
Published: April 2021

Case:
We present 2 unusual scapula fractures that do not meet published thresholds for surgical intervention; 1 initially managed surgically with a good functional result and 1 conservatively with a poor outcome. The second patient subsequently underwent osteotomy and fixation with good effect.

Conclusion:
Despite not reaching published levels of displacement or angulation usually considered for surgical intervention, these cases demonstrate that combined patterns of scapula injury can cause functional disability if managed conservatively. The authors believe that combination patterns of injury should be considered for early surgery to avoid loss of function caused by healing of the fracture(s) in malposition.
Group O blood donors in Iran: evaluation of isoagglutinin titers and immunoglobulin G subclasses
Authors: Arabi S. , Moghaddam M. , Pourfathollah A.A. , Aghaie A. , Mosaed M. 
Published: April 2021

Abstract
This study aims to determine the most frequent titers of anti-A and anti-B (both presumed immunoglobulin [Ig]M and IgG) in Iranian group O blood donors and to compare these titer values with those found in other studies. In addition, alloantibody production and plasma levels of four IgG subclasses were compared between the high-titer and non–high-titer study groups. This study investigated anti-A and anti-B titers in 358 plasma samples. Based on these results, two study groups (high-titer and non–high-titer) were formed. Antibody detection tests were performed to detect unexpected antibodies to D, C, c, E, e, K, k, Fya, Fyb, Jka, Jkb, M, N, S, s, P1, Lea, and Leb. Four IgG subclasses were also evaluated through nephelometry assay. The most frequent titer obtained by room temperature and indirect antiglobulin tube tests was 256. The frequency of titers ≥512 was 31.5 percent. None of the cases showed unexpected RBC alloantibodies. IgG2 levels were significantly higher in the high-titer group. Evaluation of isoagglutinin titers in group O Iranian blood donors can provide insight into the frequency of isoagglutinin titers both within the Iranian population and as compared with other populations. A significant difference in IgG2 levels between the high-titer and non–high-titer groups was identified. More investigation needs to be conducted on the root cause of this finding.

Acute hemolytic transfusion reaction caused by anti-Yta
Authors: Raos M. , Thornton N. , Lukic M. , Golubic Cepulic B. 
Published: April 2021

Abstract
Many patients with anti-Yta receive multiple transfusions of Yt(a+) red blood cells (RBCs) with no ill effects. However, anti-Yta has been implicated in hemolytic transfusion reactions. Antibody identification typically determines specificity of antibodies and their clinical significance to justify blood requirements for antigen-negative blood when clinically significant antibodies are involved. Occasionally, specificity of antibody is of variable significance. Variability in clinical significance is a characteristic of anti-Yta that may affect the clinical management of such patients. This case reports the outcome of an incompatible transfusion in an 83-year-old female patient with anti-Yta, -D, -C, -Leab, and -HI who was admitted to the hospital for a severe urinary tract hemorrhage and fever. The patient was transfused with 1 crossmatch-incompatible group A, Yt(a+), D–, C–, E–, S– RBC unit in an emergency medical event. During that time, the patient exhibited chills, shivering, and tachycardia. Decreases in hemoglobin and hematocrit were noted. Laboratory parameters for hemolysis, such as total bilirubin, direct bilirubin, and lactate dehydrogenase, were increased. Based on clinical and laboratory evaluation, it was concluded that the patient had an acute hemolytic transfusion reaction caused by anti-Yta. The patient was successfully treated with antipyretics, antihistamines, and corticosteroids. Urinary tract hemorrhaging was stopped. Anemia was additionally improved with parenteral iron supplementation, and further transfusion was not required.

Comparative evaluation of the conventional tube test and column agglutination technology for ABO antibody titration in healthy individuals: a report from India
Authors: Datta S.S. , Basu S. , Reddy M. , Gupta K. , Sinha S. 
Published: April 2021

Abstract
Determination of accurate anti-A/-B titers is important for treatment selection in ABO-incompatible stem cell and solid-organ transplants. The standard method for ABO antibody titration is the conventional tube test (CTT). Dithiothreitol (DTT) is commonly used to inactivate the IgM antibody component. The aim of this study was to compare six different methods for ABO antibody titration and to observe the effectiveness of DTT on antibody estimation. A total of 90 healthy voluntary blood donors were enrolled in this study, including 30 each for blood groups A, B, and O. Antibody titrations were performed and tested using the CTT-immediate spin (IS), CTT-antihuman globulin (AHG) with and without DTT, column agglutination technology (CAT)-IS, and CAT-AHG with and without DTT methods. Bead-CAT was used, and the positive cutoff value was set to 1+ for each method to determine the endpoint of the titer. The median values of anti-A/-B titers by IS were found to be higher than those values by AHG in CTT and CAT among group B and A individuals, whereas no statistically significant differences were observed in values from group O individuals for IS and AHG anti-A/-B titers, estimated by each method. Although there was positive correlation between the anti-A/-B titer results obtained using the CTT and CAT in all blood groups, testing using AHG showed poor agreement with and without DTT pretreatment (kappa value of 0.11 and 0.20, respectively). Moderate agreement was observed between CTT-IS and CAT-IS (kappa value of 0.46). Median anti-A/-B AHG titers were reduced by the use of DTT in all blood group samples. Significant differences in the interpretability of anti-A/-B titers were observed among different methods. A uniform approach for selecting the method for ABO antibody titration is highly recommended, and DTT pretreatment of plasma to neutralize IgM activity should be considered to obtain precise values of IgG anti-A/-B titers.

Authors: Kot Sebastian , Onyusheva Irina , Grondys Katarzyna 
Published: April 2021

Abstract
The research aimed to assess Supply Chain Management (SCM) in small and medium enterprises in Kazakhstan and Poland, and, more specifically, identify similarities and differences in the approach to the SCM concept in selected countries. The research methodology was based on ANOVA analysis comparing samples of contemporary SMEs operating in Poland and Kazakhstan. Primary data was collected using the CAWI quantitative method and then studied using the ANOVA statistical data analysis method. The research results demonstrated similar involvement in the implementation of the concept with significant differences in some areas, such as cost reduction and focus on end customers. The concept of Supply Chain Management is a very common subject of theoretical and practical analysis. Even though research efforts in this area indicate the positive effects of the implemented concept, most of them concern large organisations. The research results showed similar involvement in the implementation of the concept, although significant differences were found in selected areas, such as cost reduction and focus on end customers.

Abstract
This study aimed to analyze the influence of the inertial load on both concentric and eccentric power output production during the flywheel leg curl exercise, and to assess the reliability of power output variables. Sixteen participants (8 males, 8 females) attended 4 testing sessions. During testing, participants performed one set of eight repetitions using a specific inertial load (0.083, 0.132, 0.182, 0.266 and 0.350 kg·m2) with a flywheel leg curl exercise. Concentric (CON) power, eccentric (ECC) power and the ECC/CON ratio were analyzed. The reliability analysis between sessions was performed. A significant interaction of inertia load x gender was found in CON power (p < 0.001) and in ECC power (p = 0.004), but not in the ECC/CON ratio (p = 0.731). A significant with-in (inertia loads) effect was found in CON power (p < 0.001) and in ECC power (p < 0.001), but not in the ECC/CON ratio (p = 0.096). CON power showed very high reliability scores, ECC power showed high to very high reliability scores, while the ECC/CON ratio ranged from poor to moderate. A significant between gender effect was found in CON power (p < 0.001) and in ECC power (p < 0.001), but not in the ECC/CON ratio (p = 0.752). This study is the first to report that power output in the flywheel leg curl exercise is altered by the inertia load used, as well as power output is different according to gender. CON and ECC power output presents high to very high reliability scores, and the ECC/CON ratio should not be used instead. These results can have important practical implications for testing and training prescription in sports.

Published: April 2021

Abstract
Acute drug-allergic tubulointerstitial nephrites are increasingly common conditions in current practice due to increased patient access to a variety of drugs. The clinical-biological panel associates acute renal injury with hypersensitivity phenomena. Considered classically reversible after the cessation of the incriminated drug, drug-allergic tubulointerstitial nephrites have changed their evolutionary characteristics in recent decades, even under treatment. This article presents the clinical-biological, therapeutic and evolutionary characteristics of drug-allergic tubulointerstitial nephrites.

Dungeons & Dragons & Drama
Authors: Huk Darby 
Published: April 2021

Players sit around a table. A group of adventurers pause in their pursuit of escape. Stunned, they stare at the die that just rolled poorly, resulting in the loss of a dear friend, his throat ripped out because they could not save him. The players mourn the death of a fictional character who only ever existed within the game. Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) is a popular role-playing game illustrating the interconnectedness of drama, performance, and games. My presentation will examine this relationship, identifying factors from gameplay that suggest how performance fosters success in D&D for both actual players and fictional characters. Research into dramatic theory and game theory reveals how interdisciplinary concepts such as the “magic circle”, the “lusory attitude”, and uncertainty can apply to elements of D&D (Salen and Zimmerman, Suits, Costikyan). Data collected from in-person observation of D&D sessions, coding participants’ behaviour, and watching for instances of performance (e.g. voice change, pronoun switches, or mimetic gesture), has been combined with theoretical research to determine elements that better facilitate success in the game/campaign. These elements range from emotional situations that provoke players, to forms of invitations encouraging participation (Isbister, White). I have discovered that while in theatre performance acts as a vehicle for story, in D&D the story acts as a vehicle for performance. The in-game performance often facilitates fun between players, as well as leading them to success in the game, so a campaign that maximizes theatricality will not only result in more fun, but also more success.

Village life and Concert Hall: Is There a Connection?

Ukrainian folk music has been embedded into much of the classical music we hear. Mykola Leontovych and Peter Wilhousky are credited for the ever-famous piece Carol of the Bells, an arrangement of a Ukrainian Epiphany carol called Shchedryk (Щедрик). Despite the applicability of Ukrainian folk-inspired music in our society, people are generally unaware of its origin. In fact, researcher Yakov Soroker provides evidence of Ukrainian folk inspiration in various classical pieces being misclassified as Russian, Polish, and/or Hungarian. Ukrainian classical music, for many reasons pertaining to its unstable history, is not well known outside Ukraine and, therefore, is rarely discussed. This has limited potential insights it might bring to those who have interest in its place in Western music. My research explores the influence that Ukrainian folk traditions have had on contemporary classical music. My research has come from gathering and sifting through historical literature about the origins of classical, Ukrainian classical, Ukrainian folk, and other folk music works. I have also listened to selected works and examined the critiques of experts to form conclusions about how composers today have been influenced, knowingly or otherwise, by Ukrainian folk music. Going one step further, in order to provide a deeper, practical insight into the creative process of composers who have been influenced by Ukrainian folk music, I have composed a piece of my own influenced by Ukrainian folklore.
Palatally displaced and impacted canines – What is taught during postgraduate orthodontics training in Europe?
Authors: Muslim Hibatul , Naoumova Julia 
Published: April 2021

Objectives:
One of the most challenging orthodontic treatments is displaced and impacted canines palatally displaced canines (PDC/PIC). The aim of this study was, therefore, to assess what postgraduate students are taught about PDC and PIC during their postgraduate orthodontic training (POT) in Europe.

Materials and Methods:
A digital survey containing 22 questions was sent to 164 POT programs in 28 European countries. Questions were asked about which interceptive and surgical treatments are taught, the advantages of different surgical procedures, and what dressing materials and X-rays are used for PIC therapy planning. Reminders were sent 4 times.

Results:
About 43% (71 POT programs) responded. Extraction of deciduous canines (76%) was the most favored interceptive treatment. A closed technique with a gingival margin flap and a gold plated chain was the most commonly taught surgical technique (69%), even though both open and closed exposure of PICs were performed in 54 postgraduate programs. Coe-Pak™ with sutures was one of the preferred dressing materials in open exposure. Active treatment was started before the canine erupted, that is, spontaneous eruption of the tooth following open exposure was not awaited by 1/3 of the respondents and 1/3 left the question unanswered. Closed exposure was more often preferred than open exposure for post-surgical, periodontal, and esthetic reasons. The most common radiographs before surgery were panoramic and intraoral radiographs. Cone-beam computed tomography was taken by half of the respondents when resorption of adjacent teeth was suspected.

Conclusion:
Extraction of deciduous canines as an interceptive approach to PDC and closed exposure of PIC were taught in most of the POT programs.
