Surgical Excision of Peripheral Osteoma of the Inferior Border of the Mandible by Extraoral Approach
Authors: Agarwal Sanyam , Bhansali Sonal Priya , Talreja Girish , Tiwari Archit 
Published: November 2021

Rationale:
Osteoma is a benign osteogenic lesion with a slow growth, characterized by the proliferation of either cancellous or compact bone. Peripheral osteoma which is known to arise from the periosteum is a rare entity in the mandible. This case report emphasizes on the extraoral approach used for surgical excision of peripheral osteoma of the mandible.

Patient Concerns:
This article presents three cases of peripheral osteoma in females who presented with extraoral swelling near the inferior border of the mandible. The swelling was noticed incidentally and had mild or no pain.

Diagnosis:
Diagnosis was made after correlating clinical and radiographical findings and confirmed by histopathology.

Treatment:
Extraoral submandibular incision was used for the excision of peripheral osteoma in all the cases.

Outcomes:
Patients were followed up for 3 months without any signs of recurrence.

Take-away Lessons:
Every case is unique, and it is wise to take uncommon surgical approach keeping in view the patient's benefit at large.
On unavoidable families of meromorphic functions
Authors: Meyrath Thierry 
Published: November 2021

AbstractWe prove several results on unavoidable families of meromorphic functions. For instance, we give new examples of families of cardinality 3 that are unavoidable with respect to the set of meromorphic functions on
$\mathbb C$
. We further obtain families consisting of less than three functions that are unavoidable with respect to certain subsets of meromorphic functions. In the other direction, we show that for every meromorphic function f, there exists an entire function that avoids f on
$\mathbb C$
.

The development of technology is an inseparable part of human life. Through its development,Â technology furthermore produces various reliable tools to assist people in many ways. The technological applications can be in the forms of Google products such asÂ Google Classroom, Google Form, and Google meet, and also other applications such as Zoom Cloud Meeting, Microsoft TeamsÂ intended to solve various kinds of problems including education field. These technological advancements are popularly used and are indeed very helpful in learning, but sometimes it canâ€™t be hindered that technological applications are not always in accordance with the needs. For example, the practicum learning process in the Information Systems Study Program, Faculty of Science and Technology, Open University, which has no practical application yet. This is because the existing applications are not in accordance with the learning process at the Open University. So, the solution that must be done is to develop an online practicum application (Praton) in the Information Systems Study Program, Faculty of Science and Technology of the Open University. The process of developing a practicum application also cannot be done immediately, so at least there must be an application development design first. Application development design must go through several stages using a software development model. One of the models that can be used is the waterfall model with an object-based approach or commonly referred to as UML (Unified Modeling Language). The results of this software development design are in the form of a software design document and will be sent to a programmer to establish the application. With this application design, programmers will know more about the specifications of online practicum applications that suit the needs of learning process.

Efficacy of a Forearm Rotation Orthosis for People With a Hemiparetic Arm
Authors: Yu Chih-Huang , Mathiowetz Virgil G. , Zieffler Andrew , Tomlin George S. 
Published: November 2021

Importance: Insufficient voluntary forearm movements are associated with ineffective and inefficient functional performance among people poststroke. Although evidence supports the application of the occupational therapy task-oriented (OTTO) approach for this population, the training protocol does not explicitly address the role of forearm rotation movements. In addition, a need exists for theoretical support for orthotic interventions for people poststroke.
Objective: To examine the efficacy of (1) a forearm rotation orthosis, (2) the OTTO approach, and (3) the combination of the two with people poststroke with a hemiparetic arm.
Design: Stratified, randomized, two-group, single-blinded, repeated-measures design.
Setting: Rehabilitation clinic.
Participants: Participants (N = 14) with a diagnosis of stroke and at least 10° of voluntary shoulder and elbow movement.
Intervention: Participants were stratified into three groups by motor function (mild, moderate, severe) and randomly assigned either to 6 wk of no treatment followed by 6 wk of OTTO or to 6 wk of orthotic intervention followed by 6 wk of orthosis plus OTTO.
Outcomes and Measures: Primary outcome measures were the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM), Wolf Motor Function Test (WMFT), and Motor Activity Log (MAL), administered at baseline (Week 1), at the end of Phase 1 (Week 7), and at the end of Phase 2 (Week 15) by blinded evaluators.
Results: Both groups showed clinically important improvements on the COPM. No significant differences were found on the WMFT or MAL.
Conclusions and Relevance: The OTTO intervention provides clinically important benefits in self-perceived functional performance to people poststroke.
What This Article Adds: The OTTO approach is an occupation-focused intervention that aims at functional performance and emphasizes clients' active engagement throughout the process. The findings suggest that the protocol of the OTTO intervention and its efficacy are appropriate for clinical practice.

Published: November 2021

BACKGROUND:

Helicobacter pylori
infection is widespread, affecting about 50% of the global population. Polymorphisms in host genes such as the toll-like receptor 4 (
TLR4
) might affect the susceptibility and severity of infection and treatment success.

OBJECTIVE:

Investigate the susceptibility and severity of
H pylori
infection with host
TLR4
(rs11536889, rs4986790, rs200109652, rs10759932),
TLR5
(rs5744174, rs2072493, rs746250566),
TLR10
(rs559182335, rs10004195) polymorphisms.

DESIGN:
Analytical, cross-sectional.

SETTING:
Endoscopy clinic at tertiary care center.

PATIENTS AND METHODS:

Genomic DNA was extracted from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues collected from
H pylori
-infected patients and healthy individuals. The single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within the targeted TLR genes were genotyped to assess the genetic association of various SNPs with disease severity.

MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:

Effect of genotype distribution on
H pylori
infection.

SAMPLE SIZE:
250 peptic ulcer patients and 217 controls.

RESULTS:

The
TLR10
genotype showed no significant association with
H pylori
infection except for rs10004195 (T>A) (
P
=.002). The genotype frequency of Rs5744174 in
TLR5
had a significant association with the presence of
H pylori
infection (
P
=.046, OR=0.52). Except for gender (P=.022), there were no significant associations between clinical and demographic variables and SNPs relating to the severity of the
H pylori
infections.

CONCLUSIONS:

Our findings are consistent with differences in severity of
H pylori
infection due to TLR SNPs in different ethnic groups. Understanding differences in genetic susceptibility could help in classifying patients and matching patients with various treatment options on a genetic basis.

LIMITATIONS:

Lack of
H pylori
pathogenicity features assessment.

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST:
None.
Taurodontism in maxillary and mandibular molars using cone beam computed tomography in a dental center in Saudi Arabia
Authors: Jabali Ahmad Hassan , Chourasia Hemant Ramesh , Wasli Abdullah Saeed , Alkhayrat Ali Mohammed , Mahnashi Hassan Mohammed , Kamly Mohammed Jebril , Varadarajan Saranya , Patil Shankargouda 
Published: November 2021

BACKGROUND:
Taurodontism is a dental anomaly characterized by altered crown root ratio that is often diagnosed by radiographic evaluation. A three-dimensional cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) can aid in the diagnosis and treatment of taurodontic teeth. Only one study has reported the prevalence of taurodontism in a Saudi population.

OBJECTIVE:
Determine prevalence and other characteristics of taurodontism in permanent maxillary and mandibular molars, by CBCT in a dental center in Saudi Arabia.

DESIGN:
Cross-sectional.

SETTING:
College of dentistry.

SUBJECTS AND METHODS:
The first and second molars, maxillary and mandibular, from study participants of Saudi origin from Jazan region of Saudi Arabia were evaluated for taurodontism based on the criteria of Shifman and Chanannel. The degree of taurodontism was determined by the taurodontism index. Results were tabulated for analysis and the chi-square test was applied for the differences between age groups, genders, and maxillary and mandibular teeth.

MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:
Characteristics of taurodontism.

SAMPLE SIZE:
1839 teeth in 300 individuals.

RESULTS:
Taurodontism was seen in 24 (8%) of the study participants and in 71 teeth (3.9%). Taurodontism was significantly more prevalent in individuals between 21 and 40 years of age. Hypotaurodontism (67.6%, n=48) was most prevalent, followed by mesotaurodontism (23.9%, n=17) and hypertaurodontism (8.5%, n=6). The maxillary molars were more commonly involved than mandibular, but the results were not statistically significant. No significant differences in gender were observed.

CONCLUSIONS:
Dental clinicians should be familiar with the condition due to the clinical implications in oral surgery, endodontics and prosthodontics. The possibilities of a complex root canal system, an additional canal, difficulties in canal negotiation, instrumentation and subsequent obturation can be challenging for the clinician.

LIMITATIONS:
Conducted in a single dental center hence future studies with larger sample sizes in different regions of Saudi Arabia should be conducted to more accurately measure the prevalence.

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST:
None.
Measurement report: Comparison of airborne, in situ measured, lidar-based, and modeled aerosol optical properties in the central European background – identifying sources of deviations

Published: November 2021

Abstract. A unique data set derived from remote sensing, airborne, and
ground-based in situ measurements is presented. This measurement report
highlights the known complexity of comparing multiple aerosol optical
parameters examined with different approaches considering different states
of humidification and atmospheric aerosol concentrations. Mie-theory-based
modeled aerosol optical properties are compared with the respective results of airborne and ground-based in situ measurements and remote sensing (lidar and photometer) performed at the rural central European observatory at Melpitz, Germany. Calculated extinction-to-backscatter ratios (lidar ratios) were in the range of previously reported values. However, the lidar ratio is a function of the aerosol type and the relative humidity. The particle lidar ratio (LR) dependence on relative humidity was quantified and followed the trend found in previous studies. We present a fit function for the lidar wavelengths of 355, 532, and 1064 nm with an underlying equation of fLR(RH, γ(λ))=fLR(RH=0,λ)×(1-RH)-γ(λ), with the derived estimates of γ(355 nm) = 0.29 (±0.01), γ(532 nm) = 0.48 (±0.01), and γ(1064 nm) = 0.31 (±0.01) for central European aerosol. This parameterization might be used in the data analysis of elastic-backscatter lidar observations or lidar-ratio-based aerosol typing efforts. Our study shows that the used aerosol model could reproduce the in situ measurements of the aerosol particle light extinction coefficients (measured at dry conditions) within 13 %. Although the model reproduced the in situ measured aerosol particle light absorption coefficients within a reasonable range, we identified many sources for significant uncertainties in the simulations, such as the unknown aerosol mixing state, brown carbon (organic material) fraction, and the unknown aerosol mixing state wavelength-dependent refractive index. The modeled ambient-state aerosol particle light extinction and backscatter coefficients were smaller than the measured ones. However, depending on the prevailing aerosol conditions, an overlap of the uncertainty ranges of both approaches was achieved.
Comment on “Isotopic evidence for dominant secondary production of HONO in near-ground wildfire plumes” by Chai et al. (2021)
Authors: Roberts James M. 
Published: November 2021

Abstract. Chai et al. (2021) recently published measurements of wildfire-derived (WF)
oxides of nitrogen (NOx) and nitrous acid (HONO) and their isotopic
composition. The method used to sample NOx, collection in alkaline solution,
has a known 1:1 interference from another reactive nitrogen compound, acetyl
peroxynitrate (PAN). Although PAN is thermally unstable, subsequent
reactions with nitrogen dioxide (NO2) in effect extend the lifetime of
PAN many times longer than the initial decomposition reaction would
indicate. This, coupled with the rapid and efficient formation of PAN in WF
plumes, means the NOx measurements reported by Chai et al.​​​​​​​ were severely
impacted by PAN. In addition, the model reactions in the original paper included neither the reactions of NO2 with hydroxyl radical (OH) to form
nitric acid nor the efficient reaction of larger organic radicals with
nitric oxide to form organic nitrates (RONO2).
Neural-network-based estimation of regional-scale anthropogenic CO2 emissions using an Orbiting Carbon Observatory-2 (OCO-2) dataset over East and West Asia

Published: November 2021

Abstract. Atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) is the most significant greenhouse gas, and its concentration is continuously increasing, mainly as a
consequence of anthropogenic activities. Accurate quantification of CO2 is critical for addressing the global challenge of climate change
and for designing mitigation strategies aimed at stabilizing CO2 emissions. Satellites provide the most effective way to monitor the
concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere. In this study, we utilized the concentration of the column-averaged dry-air mole fraction of
CO2, i.e., XCO2 retrieved from a CO2 monitoring satellite, the Orbiting Carbon Observatory-2 (OCO-2), and the net
primary productivity (NPP) provided by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) to estimate the anthropogenic CO2
emissions using the Generalized Regression Neural Network (GRNN) over East and West Asia. OCO-2 XCO2, MODIS NPP, and the Open-Data Inventory
for Anthropogenic Carbon dioxide (ODIAC) CO2 emission datasets for a period of 5 years (2015–2019) were used in this study. The annual
XCO2 anomalies were calculated from the OCO-2 retrievals for each year to remove the larger background CO2 concentrations and
seasonal variability. The XCO2 anomaly, NPP, and ODIAC emission datasets from 2015 to 2018 were then used to train the GRNN model, and,
finally, the anthropogenic CO2 emissions were estimated for 2019 based on the NPP and XCO2 anomalies derived for the same
year. The estimated and the ODIAC CO2 emissions were compared, and the results showed good agreement in terms of spatial
distribution. The CO2 emissions were estimated separately over East and West Asia. In addition, correlations between the ODIAC emissions
and XCO2 anomalies were also determined separately for East and West Asia, and East Asia exhibited relatively better results. The results
showed that satellite-based XCO2 retrievals can be used to estimate the regional-scale anthropogenic CO2 emissions, and the
accuracy of the results can be enhanced by further improvement of the GRNN model with the addition of more CO2 emission and concentration
datasets.
Entre Góngora y Quevedo
Authors: Jauralde Pou Pablo 
Published: November 2021

AbstractThis article discusses how Quevedo arrives to the silvas, how that affects the set of compositions that were written in his time, and how ideological and formal issues converged. However, due to his trip to Italy, Quevedo, who planned to write a book of silvas, changes course when he learned of Góngora’s Soledades. It is proposed that Quevedo’s Sermon estoico, which came later, is a kind of answer to the Soledades. But both of these works take different formal and ideological directions.

Published: November 2021

This patient presented with pelvic pain and intrauterine pregnancy following insertion of copper intrauterine device, whose strings had previously been palpable by the patient. We performed medical abortion followed by laparoscopy, which identified intrauterine device in the retroperitoneum overlying the ureter and iliac vessels. This location suggests migration of the device, as device strings were previously palpable by the patient. After intact removal, the patient opted for a replacement copper intrauterine device.

Authors: Álvarez-Otero Javier 
Published: November 2021

La tesis doctoral «El uso educativo de las Infraestructuras de Datos Espaciales (IDE) para mejorar la responsabilidad social de los ciudadanos del siglo XXI sobre el territorio» ha sido presentada por compendio de artículos,publicados en revistas de impacto, los cuales han servido para conseguir los objetivos e hipótesis de investigación. El objetivo principal de la tesis ha sido demostrar que es posible trabajar la responsabilidad social desde la geografía empleando los geodatos que ofrecen los servicios procedentes de las Infraestructuras de Datos Espaciales (IDE). Para ello, ha sido necesario demostrar la utilidad de integrar las IDE de forma natural y amigable en las aulas de geografía en el nivel de secundaria y formar a ciudadanos del siglo XXI en responsabilidad social, gracias al conocimiento del mismo obtenido del manejo de geodatos, mejorando así sus competencias espaciales, digitales y sociales, y causando un cambio de su actitud sobre el territorio, derivado de una mejora del conocimiento de los problemas relacionados con la sostenibilidad. Se han propuesto cuatro hipótesis de investigación: (1) el profesorado tiene un conocimiento escaso o nulo sobre las IDE, lo que hace que desaproveche las oportunidades que ofrecen; (2) Determinar el grado de conveniencia del empleo de las IDE en las aulas de secundaria, según los expertos.; (3) la responsabilidad social de la ciudadanía sobre el territorio, entendida como colaboración en la consecución de los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS), puede mejorar tras las intervenciones en el aula empleando los geodatos ofrecidos por los servicios de las IDE, y también puede producir un cambio de actitudes que conduzca a la transformación del territorio,; y (4) es posible un modelo docente que integre los geodatos proporcionados por los servicios IDE y la responsabilidad social basadas en los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS).
Developing Coalitions in a Tourism-Based Economy: The New Orleans Joint Center for Tourism
Authors: Brooks Jane S. , Lacho Kenneth J. 
Published: November 2021

The New Orleans Vieux Carre is an attraction to tourists, yet the growth of tourism may well be a threat to its very survival. The formation of the JCT and Cultural Treasures Group reflects the efforts of people who are concerned about the preservation of the Vieux Carre as an intact historic neighborhood. The reaching out to tourism-related organizations reflects an attempt to work with these groups in developing a mechanism for controlling growth of the tourism industry, yet at the same time preserving an historic neighborhood. The problems of the JCT in achieving its goals are simply due to the lack of resources, central control, and perceived inattention by city government.
The difficulty of the JCT to progress towards its objectives has resulted in a spinoff subgroup. This group is smaller, more compact members have similar values, and belong to organizations directly related to the Vieux Carre. Its prognosis is uncertain at this time.
