Authors: Syafrita Yuliarni , Nora Fitri  
Published: October 2021

Background : Traumatic brain injury is still the main cause of death and disability in productive age. Assessment the level of consciousness and imaging examinations after a brain injury can not always describe the severity of damage in the brain, this is because the pathological process is still ongoing due to secondary brain injury. Therefore, it is necessary to examine biomarkers that can describe the severity of the pathological process that occurs. The purpose of this study was to assess serum neuron-specific enolase (NSE) levels and their relationship to the severity and outcome of a traumatic brain injury.
Methods : A cross sectional design was conducted in the emergency department of DR M Djamil Hospital, Padang. There were 72 patients who met the inclusion criteria. A Glasgow Coma Scale examination was performed to assess the severity of brain injury and examination of NSE serum levels at 48 hours post- injury using ELISA technique and assess the Glasgow outcome scale (GOS) at 6 weeks post-injury. Data analysis using SPSS 22 program, the results are significance if the p value <0.05
Results : The average NSE level was higher in severe brain injuries than moderate and mild brain injuries and this difference was statistically significant (p<0.05). The NSE serum levels were higher in poor outcomes than in good outcomes and this difference was statistically significant (p<0.05).
Conclusion : High NSE serum levels in the acute phase were associated with the severity of the brain injury and poor outcome 6 weeks after the brain injury.

Published: October 2021

Background & Method: 20 patients with scrub typhus who visited Index Medical College Hospital & Research Centre, Indore. Diagnosis of scrub typhus was made from blood samples based on serology (scrub typhus IgM / IgG antibody). We observed the following symptoms – eschar, cough, SOB, fever, chest pain, nausea /vomiting, abdominal pain, seizures, & the various laboratory investigations were done (TLC, ESR, S.CREATINE, LFT, SERUM ELECTROLYTES ETC.). CXR (PA / AP) were analysed on the basis of the presence, location and zonal predilection for consolidations, reticulo nodular shadows, hilar shadows and lower lobe haziness.
Conclusion: Pulmonary manifestation of Scrub typhus is uncommon. But can be fatal, particulary in the form of ARDS. Antibiotic therapy may prove beneficial in initial phase. In acute febrile illness (SCRUB TYPHUS), pulmonary symptoms and radiological menifestations should be rule out in early stages to prevent the mortality.

Overview of Idiopathic Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus: Diagnosis and Improvement
Authors: Sun Julia Chen 
Published: October 2021

Idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) is an uncommon yet potentially reversible cause of dementia in the elderly. It is characterized by cognitive deterioration, urinary incontinence, ventriculomegaly (enlarged cerebral ventricles) and gait apraxia. The diagnosis and management of iNPH requires an organized approach, starting with a comprehensive history and neurologic examination, a review of neuroimaging, and an evaluation of diagnosis. It is important to treat comorbidities in patients prior to specific iNPH testing, which includes testing patient responses to temporary CSF removal and assessing CSF hydrodynamics. In carefully selected patients, all physiological and neurological symptoms improved with a ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt surgery, which allows for a gradual adjustment in pressure to prevent complications caused by over-drainage.

Introduction: The use of Bioceramic sealer in the obduration of the root canal system has been expected by many of the previous studies. However, the clinical outcome has not yet been established.
Objective: To compare the effectiveness of bioceramic and calcium hydroxide based root canal sealer in treatment of non-vital permanent teeth with periapical lesion (Periapical periodontitis).
Materials and Methods: A total 100 mature permanent anterior teeth were selected after clinical and radiological examination which had non-vital pulp with periapical lesion. Clinically pulp vitality test, palpation and percussion test was performed maintaining standard procedure. Following cavity preparation and biomechanical preparation, each canal was obturated either with bioceramic (Endosequence BC) or calcium hydroxide based sealer (Sealapex, Kerr). All participants were evaluated immediately after obturation, at 3 and 6 months for the assessment of change in size of periapical lesion, condition of periodontal ligament space, lamina dura and incidence of post-operative pain, swelling. Statistical analysis was performed using Chi- square(X2) test and t-test. A value of p<0.05 was considered as statistically significant.
Results: Bioceramic was more effective in reducing the lesion size than that of calcium hydroxide. At 6 months, the mean lesion size was reduced from 3.52±0.7 to 1.30±0.462 mm in Bioceramics and from 3.48±1.07 to 1.58± 0.498 mm in sealapex treated teeth.. Furthermore, 98% of bioceramic treated teeth and 94% of sealapex treated teeth showed absence of swelling. The differences between two groups were statistically significant (p<0.05).
Conclusion: In this short period of study, Bioceramics based sealer seems to be more effective than calcium hydroxide based sealer in repair of periapical lesions of the nonvital teeth.

Published: October 2021

In these days, periodontal diseases are very much common in Asian subcontinent especially in Bangladesh, due to some relevant factors that is more prevalent in this country. Most of the time patient neglect their condition and ultimately loss their teeth. Even after doing phase 1 therapy that is scaling, polishing with antimicrobial agents, it could not heal the periodontal condition with advanced bone destruction or clinical attachment loss. Therefore, after proper oral hygiene maintenance therapy, different flap surgery should consider. . In recent study, it is found that platelet rich fibrin (PRF) PREPARED From the patient’s Own blood and then placement within defect could enhance the early healing procedure. This PRF membrane is also used in a variety of discipline in dentistry, including regenerative surgery. This PRF membrane is now used in a variety of disciplines in dentistry, including regenerative surgery and enhancing early healing. The goal of this study is to critically analyze and appraise the currently available research with an emphasis on the use of PRF in regenerative periodontal surgery. An electronic search was conducted (PubMed/MEDLINE, Google Scholar, BanglaJOL, Cochrane library). Various combinations of the following keywords were used: ‘prf’, ‘prf membrane’, ‘periodontal regenerative surgery’, ‘prf in dentistry’, ‘systemic diseases and periodontitis’, ‘drawback of prf’, ‘platelet-derived growth factors’, ‘prf in oms’, ‘prf in orthodontics’. Articles were searched until August 2021 All of these studies reveal that the PRF membrane enhances the healing of various defects in a variety of periodontal diseases and in several fields of dentistry. Studies are going on pulp regeneration and socket healing after extraction with PRF in dentistry. More emphasis should have to give to the prevention of periodontal diseases as well as more concern should have to give on PRF with flap surgery to enhance healing and improve the social health of the general population by preventing tooth loss and for different research purposes on PRF in different other fields of dentistry in Bangladesh.

Authors: Nandlal Bhojraj , Singh Birti , Gopi Arun 
Published: October 2021

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has brought all treatments other than emergencies to a halt. Dental disease, being a multifactorial microbial disease, is capable of progressing to pulpits and its sequelae. The purpose of this study is to predict the impact of utilization of dental services and the progression of treatment needs in children during the lockdown and partial lockdown.Methods: Outpatient department data from the year 2017–2019 from the Department of Pediatric and Preventive Dentistry, JSS Dental College was collected. A table of treatments provided was prepared. Utilization of services as care-seeking rates at 10, 25, and 50% were assumed and modeled corresponding to each stage of the lockdown using linear regression analysis. Dental caries progression was calculated as shifts in treatment needs from permanent restorations to temporary restorations, pulpectomies, or extraction, assuming a 10% progress to each sequela.Results: The p-values for 10, 25, and 50% care-seeking rates were 0.021, &lt;0.001, and &lt;0.001, respectively.Conclusion: The number and severity of cases were predicted to have increased. However, after removal of lockdown, it was noted that the number of patients seeking care was significantly less. The advancement in progression of dental disease further adds to the burden of society and caregivers.

The growth performance and survivability enhancement potential of some medicinal plant feed additives for combatting Pseudomonad infections in Clarias gariepinus were evaluated. Three medicinal plants (5 g/kg Allium sativum, 10 g/kg Chromolaena odorata and 10 g/kg Talinum triangulare) were incorporated separately into a basic diet. Juvenile Clarias gariepinus (n = 150, 53.05 ± 0.23 g), randomised into four groups, were fed for 42 days. The control group was fed with a non-supplemented diet. Growth parameters were determined and thereafter ten fish from each group, randomly selected, were inoculated intraperitoneally with pathogenic Pseudomonas aeruginosa (0.2 mL culture containing 1.4 × 106 cfu/mL). Their survivability was observed for 7 days based on mortality rate and relative level of protection (RLP). Mean weight gains were higher in all treated groups and significantly higher (p < 0.05) in the group of fish fed with 5 g/kg Allium sativum diet compared with the control. The lowest mortality rate (20%) and highest RLP (75) was recorded in the group fed with10 g/kg Chromolaena odorata. The results suggest that medicinal plant feed additives enhanced growth and survival of the cultured Clarias gariepinus. The study recommends 5 g/kg Allium sativum and 10 g/kg Chromolaena odorata diet supplementations as an effective growth promoter and anti-Pseudomonas aeruginosa agent, respectively, for Clarias gariepinus production.

Unusual Word Problems and the Development of Critical Thinking in Early School Students
Authors: Nawolska Barbara 
Published: October 2021

Nowadays, it is increasingly difficult for people to make their way in a rapidly changing world. Critical thinkers are able to function well in such a changing environment and their education should begin in early childhood.
This paper presents the results of an experimental study on the development of critical thinking of third grade elementary school students. Unusual word problems with missing or contradictory data, an ambiguous solution, or with unrealistic content (meaningless in real life) served as a tool for developing this type of thinking. These problems provoked the students to think, to critically analyze both the content and data of word problems. This, in turn, helped the students become more reflective, notice missing or contradictory data, ambiguity of a solution or lack of realism, fill in missing data, correct contradictory information and make unrealistic data realistic, as well as seek all possibilities for a solution. Thus, their critical thinking skills developed.

Published: October 2021

The problem in this study is how the implementation of the conception of Crime Prevention Through Social Development (CPTSD) by Bhabinkamtibmas in combating criminal acts of terrorism and why there are obstacles to the implementation of the conception of CPTSD by Bhabinkamtibmas in combating criminal acts of terrorism. The research method specifically uses this type of qualitative research with a normative juridical approach to the problem and an empirical approach. The types of data used are primary data and secondary data. Primary data were obtained from interviews with resource persons and secondary data from literature studies. The results of the study indicate that the CPTSD model policy by Bhabinkamtibmas in overcoming criminal acts of terrorism is carried out through preventive, preemptive, and repressive efforts. Preventive efforts are supervision of chemicals that can be processed into explosives. Preemptive efforts are holding tabligh akbar and re-instilling Pancasila values ​​in society. The repressive effort is the establishment of the Anti-Terror Task Force. The obstacle in implementing the CPTSD model policy by Bhabinkamtibmas in overcoming criminal acts of terrorism is that Bhabinkamtibmas still lacks resources both in terms of quantity of members and in the field of facilities and infrastructure which includes the number of vehicles and task tools used to carry out Anjau Glare and binluh to the community. The Binmas Pioneer program through the CPTSD by Bhabinkamtibmas has not yet reached the target, so it has not been maximal in raising public awareness and preventing crime.
