Can text messages encourage flossing among orthodontic patients?
Authors: Santos Juliana Borba , Pereira Lara Correa , Neves José Guilherme , Pithon Matheus Melo , Santamaria Milton 
Published: May 2021

ABSTRACT

Objectives
To assess the extent to which text messages on WhatsApp play a role in patient awareness of the importance of proper oral hygiene and flossing on a daily basis and to test the null hypothesis that daily text messages do not influence the flossing habits of orthodontics patients.

Materials and Methods
Forty-four patients wearing fixed orthodontic appliances with a mean age of 14.3 years participated in the study. Patients (male and female) were randomly assigned to two groups (n = 22): group 1, text messages sent via WhatsApp daily during the study period, and group 2 (control), no text messages received. Plaque index, gingival bleeding index, and halitosis were assessed at baseline and after 30 days. The results were analyzed and subjected to normality test, McNemar test, Fisher exact test, Mann-Whitney test, and Wilcoxon signed-rank test.

Results
There was a significant influence on flossing habits (P &lt; .05) and a significant reduction in plaque and gingival bleeding indices in group 1 (P &lt; .05). Group 1 had a significant reduction in halitosis (P &lt; .05).

Conclusions
Daily text messages seem to influence patient awareness of the importance of proper oral hygiene and flossing. The null hypothesis was rejected because those patients who received text messages every day changed their flossing habits.

Authors: Riskiyah Riskiyah 
Published: May 2021

Hospital is one of the places choosen by people who seek medical treatment when they get sick. One of the main reasons people choose a hospital is when they feel satisfied with the hospital services. The University of Muhammadiyah Malang (UMM) Hospital is classified as a new hospital that complies with the standard released by The Indonesian Health Department in term of Bed Occupancy Rate. The aim of this study is to find out the reasons behind patients' decision making on choosing medical services at UMM Hospital. A qualitative phenomenology method was used in this study. Data collection was conducted in February until March 2016. Interview was conducted to 8 informants that represent the patients from VIP class, class I, class II and class III of UMM Hospital. They are five themes about patient decision making on why they choose UMM Hospital as a health care provider such as the location, receives BPJS, friends recommendation, no other choice, and UMM Hospital is the best option. In conclusion, the patient’s decision making to choose hospitalization at UMM Hospital was influenced by several things. The existence of this information can be input for hospitals in developing appropriate marketing strategies and can further improve the quality of service to the community.
Decomposition model for examination and optimization of reliability of the basic structure of UES of Russia
Authors: Nepomnyashchiy V. A. 
Published: May 2021

The main provisions are outlined of the author’s model of electric energy systems and their associations (Unified Energy Systems of Russia, UPS), enabling to determine analytically the key parameters of reliability of operation of EES within generation facilities (generation adequacy) and trunk power grids (transmission reliability) subject to dislocation of generation facilities and electric loads, electric modes and reliability of operation of trunk power grids.For calculations of electric modes of operation of 750–220 kV power grids, Stott’s decomposition method is used involving simplification of the Jacobian matrix, the latter being divided into two independent subsystemsP → δ and Q → U, based on a weak functional link between P and Uand between Q and δ. When developing the model, much attention has been paid to improving the correctness in assessing the static and dynamic stability of the UES and taking into account these factors in the process of calculating the reliability of trunk power grids networks for each of the considered emergency situations. Special attention has been paid to improving the accuracy of estimates of economic losses (damage to the national economy) under various conditions of operation and recovery of UES: when working at low frequency, on actuation of automatic frequency load shedding (AFLS) devices and special load shedding automatics (SLSA), in case of sudden shutdowns, shutdowns with prior notice, and planned power supply restrictions. When forming the composition of consumers subject to restrictions, instead of the currently used proportional approach, the method of indefinite Laplace multipliers is used to reduce damage, based on taking into account the technological and economic response of various types of consumers to restrictions of their electrical loads. The calculations are concluded with an assessment of the annual average undersupply of electric energy and economic damage to consumers from disruptions of their power supply for the UES of Russia in 2017–2019, as a basis for optimizing the system reliability. It is shown that the probable annual average damage only in trunk grids of the UES of Russia amounts to as much as 1.2 percent of annual GDP, while its annual growth over the same period is estimated by the Ministry of Economic Development and the State Statistics Committee of the Russian Federation to be within 1.8%. Thus, due to the unreliability of the operation of only 750–220 kV main nets of UES, the national economy annually loses up to 2/3 of its annual growth.

Published: May 2021

Masyarakat NTT mempunyai dua hasil pangan unggulan yaitu, ikan tongkol dan daging sapi. Dua hasil pangan unggulan tersebut pada umumnya digunakan oleh masyarakat marginal sebagai sumber gizi. Dalam pengolahan ikan tongkol masyarakat sering mengalami kesulitan dikarenakan Ikan tongkol mudah rusak atau busuk karena mengandung lemak dan kandungan air yang cukup tinggi. Berbeda dengan daging, masyarakat NTT menggunakan daun Kesambi (Schleichera oleosa) dalam pengasapan daging se’i karena memberikan rasa dan aroma yang khas dan daya tahan daging menjadi lebih lama. Penelitian ini mengkaji proses pengawetan ikan tongkol dengan menggunakan Kesambi (Schleichera oleosa). Metode penelitian yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah penelitian eksperimen dengan metode uji organoleptik. Desain eksperimen yang digunakan adalah True Experimental Design (Sugiyono, 2009). Aktivitas antioksidan ditentukan dengan metode DPPH. Berdasarkan data pengukuran nilai absorbansi maka dapat dianalisis pengaruh konsentrasi sampel dengan nilai absorbansi, yaitu peningkatan aktivitas sebanding dengan bertambahnya konsentrasi. Penentuan aktivitas antioksidan dapat dihitung dengan persamaan y = ax + b pada kurva regresi linear. Hasil variasi konsentrasi 10, 50, dan 100 mg/L yakni (10:0.04137), (50:0.19521),(100:0.19269), (C-10:0.02653), (C-50:0.04533). Sesuai dengan parameter nilai IC50, hasil menunjukkan bahwa kulit batang Kesambi merupakan antioksidan yang sangat kuat dimana (nilai x < 50). Hasil uji organoleptik warna ikan tongkol tetap cerah dan bertahan pada hari 1 dan 2, aroma ikan bertahan pada 1 hari, dan uji rasa berahan 1-2 hari.
Circumferential esophageal hiatal rim reconstruction for treatment of persistent regurgitation in brachycephalic dogs: 29 cases (2016–2019)
Authors: Hosgood Giselle L. , Appelgrein Carla , Gelmi Candice 
Published: May 2021

Abstract

OBJECTIVE
To describe a technique for circumferential esophageal hiatal rim reconstruction and to report outcomes in brachycephalic dogs with persistent regurgitation treated with the technique.

ANIMALS
29 client-owned brachycephalic dogs.

PROCEDURES
Dogs that had undergone circumferential esophageal hiatal rim reconstruction between January 1, 2016, and December 31, 2019, for treatment of persistent regurgitation were identified through a search of the medical record database of The Animal Hospital at Murdoch University. Circumferential esophageal hiatal rim reconstruction involved apposition of the medial margins of the left and right pars lumbalis dorsal to the esophagus (reconstructing the dorsal margin) and ventral to the esophagus (reducing the ventral hiatal aperture and completing the circumferential reconstruction). Data collection from the medical records included preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative (short- and long-term outcomes [≤ 14 days and ≥ 6 months, respectively]) data.

RESULTS
In all dogs, substantial laxity of the left and right pars lumbalis and failure of dorsal coaxial alignment were observed, and circumferential esophageal hiatal rim reconstruction and esophagopexy were performed. Results of short-term follow-up indicated reduced regurgitation frequency; however, 7 of 29 dogs continued to have mild regurgitation, which was attributed to esophagitis and resolved with medical management. Long-term follow-up information was available for 19 dogs: regurgitation had resolved in 16 dogs and occurred once weekly in 3 dogs. No ongoing medication was required for any dog.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE
Circumferential hiatal rim reconstruction combined with esophagopexy substantially reduced regurgitation frequency in dogs of the present study, and we recommend that this procedure be considered for brachycephalic dogs presented with a history of regurgitation unresponsive to medical management.

Published: May 2021

Abstract

Introduction. Nontuberculous mycobacteriosis (NTM) of the lungs can develop nodules. In order to clarify some of the characteristics of lung NTM nodules, we examined volume doubling time (VDT) and maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) in positron emission tomography (PET) of pathologically diagnosed NTM nodules.

Methods. From November 2012 to August 2018, clinical and radiological information were retrospectively investigated in eight patients who were surgically resected and diagnosed as NTM. These eight patients were followed up until November 2020 and were confirmed to have no appearance of lung cancer or reappearance of lung NTM nodules. The VDT was calculated using the Schwartz formula.

Results. The median maximum diameter of the nodule at the time of the first CT scan was 16.0 (range: 9.9–20.0) mm. The median maximum diameter of the nodule on CT performed before the surgical biopsy was 18.8 (range: 10.4–32.8) mm. The median doubling time calculated from these results was 203 (range: 20–568) days. Caseous granulomas and acid-fast bacilli were histologically confirmed in all eight patients. Culture of excised nodules revealed Mycobacterium intracellulare in five patients and Mycobacterium avium in three patients. Six patients received PET, and median SUVmax was: 7.0 (range: 3.3–21.0). Median VDT was around 200 days. Some patients had irregular-shaped nodules.

Conclusions. CT/PET-CT characteristics of lung nodules are not reliable in differentiating lung NTM nodules from malignant ones. To avoid unnecessary resection, it may be better to collect various information on imaging findings in the nodule itself and in opacities other than the nodule.
Identification of hybrid formulae of a few willows (Salix) using ovule numbers
Authors: Marchenko Аlexander M. , Kuzovkina Yulia A. 
Published: May 2021

Abstract

Salix is a genus of considerable taxonomic complexity, and accurate identification of its species and hybrids is not always possible. Quantification of ovules was used in this study to verify the parentage of a few hybrids of Salix. It has been shown that ovule numbers in willow hybrids are the mean of the ovule numbers of their parents. The ovule index of a prostrate specimen of S. ×cottetii affirmed that this was a hybrid of S. myrsinifolia Salisb. and S. retusa L., and the ovule index of the ornamental cultivar ‘The Hague’ affirmed that this was a hybrid of S. caprea L. and S. gracilistyla Miq. Finally, we also examined a confusing group, previously identified in North America as S. pentandra. The ovule indexes and other morphological characters indicated that there were four taxa among the studied specimens: S. pentandra, S. ×meyeriana, S. serissima Fernald, and a hybrid of S. serissima and S. fragilis that has not previously been described. It was concluded that quantification of ovules in willows is a reliable tool that can be used in willow taxonomy, genetics and population studies.
Understanding the International Trade in Waste: Who Bears Responsibility?
Authors: Wiginton Lindsay 
Published: May 2021

There has been a growing dialogue surrounding the globalization of commodity supply chains in recent years. Several important issues have surfaced surrounding working conditions in the countries of production and the environmental impact of massive transportation required to feed the global trade. However, commodities rarely end their international journeys at the end‐of‐use phase. In fact, the last half‐century has seen the birth of a complex international trade in waste. End‐of‐use products are shipped worldwide for one of three main reasons: for disposal, for recycling or for second‐hand use. The most commonly traded waste items are of an electronic nature; as a result, they have the potential to release toxins in the form of heavy metals and other contaminants. The primary factors driving this trade are different environmental policies and/or different labour capabilities between the trading regions. Asa result, the flow of waste most often occurs from developed to developing countries, having adverse environmental and social effects despite the short‐term economic gain. This inquiry conducts a survey of the current international trade in waste, identifying the most common trade routes and goods. Specifically, it examines domestic and international policies, such as the Basel Convention (1992), which seek to moderate or end the international trade in waste. Finally, this inquiry will illustrate the complexity of the waste trade system and question where the responsibility lies to moderate this flow: with the material producers, the consumers, or the governing bodies.
