Abstract
Vancomycin is associated with a rare hematologic adverse drug reaction (ADR) and immune hemolytic anemia, which has an incidence rate of 1 in 1000,000. Here, we report a case of vancomycin-associated hemolytic anemia in a pediatric patient. A 12-year-old male with morbid obesity (body mass index of 38.81 kg/m2) was initially diagnosed with osteomyelitis and empirically started on vancomycin. After 3 days of therapy, hemoglobin dropped from 11.5 to 6.5 g/dL, which is more likely associated with hemolytic anemia. We used the Naranjo ADR Probability Scale as an objective measure of our assessment. Vancomycin was discontinued, and then it was shifted to clindamycin guided by culture and blood transfusions to address the severe hemolytic anemia. In this case report, an obese pediatric patient experienced adverse effects due to using vancomycin, resulting in immune hemolytic anemia. The suspected drug, vancomycin, should be discontinued in such cases to prevent further complications and ensure the safety of the pediatric population. The case report highlights the importance of monitoring the drug effects and considering unique factors that may contribute to adverse reactions in morbidly obese pediatrics.

Abstract

Introduction:
The benefits of using bone grafts have been known for half a century. Bone grafting is defined as a surgical procedure that involves the transplantation of bone to repair a deficit or missing bone tissue. These bone substitutes can be classified into several main categories depending on their source.

Aims:
The purpose of this research is to inspect the Saudi population’s preferences and opinions regarding different types of bone graft materials.

Materials and Methods:
A cross-sectional survey based on a structured questionnaire in the Arabic language includes demographic data such as age, gender, and educational level, along with other close-ended questions to record participants’ responses regarding the acceptance and refusal of various types of bone substitutes. The targeted population is the Saudi community. In addition, a total of 2791 Saudi individuals participated in this study.

Results and Discussion:
The overall acceptance of undergoing bone graft procedure is 94%. Furthermore, the acceptance ratio for autografts, xenografts, allografts, and alloplasts was: 78%, 74%, 51%, and 46%, respectively. The xenograft (54%) had the highest rate of refusal, followed by allografts (49%), alloplast (26%), and intraoral autograft (22%) being the least refused bone graft.

Conclusion:
The xenograft (54%) had the highest rate of refusal, followed by allografts (49%), alloplast (26%), and intraoral autograft (22%) being the least refused bone graft. Furthermore, gender, age, and educational level could not be statistically studied due to the female, high educational level, and 18–35 age group predominance in this study.

Abstract

Introduction:
Apart from training and combat injuries, dental emergencies can affect the efficiency of military personnel in the field. This is one of the reasons why the oral status of soldiers must be evaluated before deploying them.

Aims:
The objective of our study was to assess the oral health status of Cameroonian soldiers assigned to the third joint military region at Garoua.

Methodology:
We conducted a descriptive cross-sectional study between January 2022 and July 2022. Data on the sociodemographic profile, oral hygiene practices, dietary habits, and perceived oral care needs were collected using a questionnaire. Clinical examination was carried out to elucidate oral pathologies, and a logistical regression was performed to determine factors associated with oral disease with a P value set at < 0.05.

Results:
We recruited 288 military personnel aged 23 years, predominantly males; the mean duration of service with the military was 13.5 ± 12.5 s.d years and 182 (63.2%) had been to the war front. The majority 251 (87.2%) had visible plaque, 252 (87.5%) had calculus, and 6 (2.1%) had gum recession. The mean DMFT index was 0.80 and 4 (1.4%) had dental coronary fracture. The prevalence of dental caries was 44.4%, 87.2% had periodontal diseases with 85.77% gingivitis and 2.08% periodontitis. Two-thirds 193 (64.7%) of dental diseases were found among servicemen with secondary education. There was a statistically significant relationship between level of education and oral health status (*P = 0.05), between the oral condition and the consumption of sugary food (*P = 0.008), between oral condition and grade (*P = 0.03), between oral health practice and sugary food consumption (*P = 0.022), and between oral health and chewing gum consumption (*P = 0.029. Half (52.8%) needed dental restorations, 87.8% periodontal treatment, 246 (85.4%) scaling, and 6 (2.1%) deep scaling.

Conclusion:
The prevalence of dental caries and periodontal diseases was high, and three-quarters of servicemen were classified under grade 2 dental readiness.

Artificial intelligence (AI) in orthodontics has shown a promise in improving diagnosis and treatment planning processes. This study examines how well AI works for orthodontic treatment planning and how dentists perceive it. An international validated questionnaire survey was distributed to dental professionals.

Aim:
The aim of the study was to evaluate the efficiency of AI in orthodontic treatment planning and its acceptance by dental practitioners.

Materials and Methods:
a cross-sectional survey was done on orthodontic practitioners, residents, and interested undergraduate students from the Orthodontic Division, Department of Preventive Dentistry, Faculty of Dentistry, Taif University, Taif, Saudi Arabia. A questionnaire was used to collect data bout the participants’ use of AI in orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning.

Results and Discussion:
The survey showed that 92% of dental professionals were generally aware of AI and its use in orthodontics. In addition to noting AI’s potential for precise data, 84% of the participants stressed the value of human expertise in thorough orthodontic analyses. Furthermore, most of the respondents (80%) thought that AI could not completely replace orthodontists.

Conclusion:
AI is a useful diagnostic tool that improves dental professionals’ knowledge in the planning of orthodontic treatments. It is not, however, a replacement for the expertise of experienced specialists in providing precise diagnoses and treatment plans. More research is needed to maximize AI applications and ensure their smooth integration into orthodontic practices.

In recent years, social media has proved to be an indispensable tool for bringing women’s rights issues especially rape to the attention of a wider public. Therefore, it is against this backdrop that this study examined the theme "social media and rape discourse in Nigeria: an exploratory study of Facebook." To aptly investigate the subject matter, this paper adopted mixed research methods, which are content analysis, interview, and observation. Albert Bandura’s Social Cognitive Theory (SCT) was adopted as the theoretical framework. The researchers content analysed and also observed posts in two Facebook groups between January and June 2020. In the same vein, five communication experts who were also social media users were interviewed to ascertain how social media (Facebook) has impacted rape discourse in Nigeria. It was found that social media users (Facebook) give priority to rape-related subjects and that the majority of the users of social media were anti-rape advocates as reflected in their comments on rape-related posts. Furthermore, the findings of this study revealed that social media is a fertile ground for public debate hence it has positively impacted the national rape discourse in Nigeria. The paper suggests that future studies should incorporate more social networking sites and time frames.

Abstrak: Studi ini mengeksplorasi dampak konflik sosial terhadap implementasi kebijakan otonomi daerah di Papua, dengan fokus pada implikasinya terhadap keamanan daerah dan mengidentifikasi strategi untuk meningkatkan efektivitas otonomi di tengah konflik sosial. Dengan menggunakan metode penelitian kualitatif yang memanfaatkan data sekunder, penelitian ini mengkaji dinamika rumit yang membentuk hubungan antara konflik sosial dan kebijakan otonomi. Menurut penelitian, kerusuhan sosial di Papua yang disebabkan oleh keluhan mengenai eksploitasi sumber daya dan pelanggaran hak-hak masyarakat adat membuat penegakan undang-undang otonomi menjadi jauh lebih sulit. Hal ini membuat pemerintah menjadi kurang efektif dan meningkatkan risiko keamanan. Namun, studi ini juga mengidentifikasi peluang untuk meningkatkan otonomi daerah melalui proses pengambilan keputusan yang inklusif, dialog, inisiatif pembangunan sosial-ekonomi, dan integrasi sistem pengetahuan adat. Temuan-temuan ini menggarisbawahi pentingnya mengatasi keluhan-keluhan sosial yang mendasarinya dan mendorong tata kelola pemerintahan yang inklusif untuk mendorong perdamaian dan pembangunan berkelanjutan di Papua. Penelitian ini berkontribusi pada literatur yang ada mengenai resolusi konflik dan otonomi daerah, serta menawarkan wawasan yang dapat ditindaklanjuti bagi para pembuat kebijakan dan praktisi di Papua dan wilayah lain yang terkena dampak konflik.

Novel Adsorbent from Biowaste (Shrimp Shells): Metal-Impregnated Activated Carbon for Efficient Dye Removal
Authors: N Annlin Bezy , K Francy , A Lesly Fathima 
Published: December 2024

Activated carbon (AC) is a valuable material utilized in multiple sectors owing to its versatility and ability to absorb various compounds effectively. Its adsorption characteristics are due to a large surface area and extensive porous network. Metal impregnation into activated carbon is for the improvement of its adsorption capacity and the elimination of specific contaminants like heavy metals, organic pollutants, or gases assessing with long-term performance. The chitosan derived from shrimp shells has the property of dye adsorption. Such a polymer chitosan with adsorption property is reformed into activated carbon by pyrolysis to enhance its adsorption ability in the removal of hazardous dyes. The XRD of produced AC shows its characteristics peak at 26.6˚. Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM) of the AC showed a porous surface. Aluminium (Al), Iron (Fe), and Silver (Ag) were incorporated into the activated carbon individually by simple chemical method, at low temperatures. The structural investigation results give the Ag-imposed AC forms in a polycrystalline phase with crystallite size in the nanoscale. FTIR data of metal-imposed AC proves that chemical modification occurs in activated carbon by the inclusion of metals. The adsorption of Rhodamine 6G and Amaranth dyes by AC/Al, AC/Fe, and AC/Ag were investigated by UV analysis. This work shows that about 47% concentration of Amaranth dye was adsorbed by AC/Al composite, and to the maximum 21% of Rhodamine was adsorbed by AC/Ag sample in an experiment time of 10 hours at room temperature.
