Background & objectives:
Dengue virus infection is endemic in India with all the four serotypes of dengue virus in circulation. This study was aimed to determine the geographic distribution of the primary and secondary dengue cases in India.

Methods:
A multicentre cross-sectional study was conducted at Department of Health Research / Indian Council of Medical Research (DHR)/(ICMR) viral research and diagnostic laboratories (VRDLs) and selected ICMR institutes located in India. Only laboratory-confirmed dengue cases with date of onset of illness less than or equal to seven days were included between September and October 2017. Dengue NS1 antigen ELISA and anti-dengue IgM capture ELISA were used to diagnose dengue cases while anti-dengue IgG capture ELISA was used for identifying the secondary dengue cases.

Results:
Of the 1372 dengue cases, 897 (65%) were classified as primary dengue and 475 (35%) as secondary dengue cases. However, the proportion varied widely geographically, with Theni, Tamil Nadu; Tirupati, Andhra Pradesh and Udupi-Manipal, Karnataka reporting more than 65 per cent secondary dengue cases while Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir reporting as low as 10 per cent of the same. The median age of primary dengue cases was 25 yr [interquartile range (IQR 17-35] while that of secondary dengue cases was 23 yr (IQR 13.5-34). Secondary dengue was around 50 per cent among the children belonging to the age group 6-10 yr while it ranged between 20-43 per cent among other age groups.

Interpretation & conclusions:
Our findings showed a wide geographical variation in the distribution of primary and secondary dengue cases in India. It would prove beneficial to include primary and secondary dengue differentiation protocol in the national dengue surveillance programme.
Relationship between Obesity and Periodontal Status in Vietnamese Patients: A Pilot Study
Authors: Pham Thuy Anh Vu , Nguyen Xuan Ngoc Thi 
Published: July 2019

ABSTRACT

Objectives
To investigate periodontal status and the relationship between obesity and periodontal status in female patients who first visited the Traditional Medicine Institute, Ho Chi Minh city, Vietnam.

Materials and methods
One hundred and three female patients aged 18 or older, including 45 obese subjects and 58 nonobese subjects were enrolled in a period of 5 months from February to June 2014. The information on sociodemographic characteristics and dental habits were collected by questionnaire. Periodontal status [plaque index (PI1), gingival index (GI), bleeding on prabing (BOP), pocket depth (PD), clinical attachment level (CAL)] was examined and the anthropometric index was measured.

Results
There was significantly higher prevalence of periodontitis (40.0%) in obese females than nonobese females (13.8%). The means values of periodontal parameters in obese females were significantly higher than those in nonobese females. Significantly, higher percentage of subjects who did not use dental flossing, or less regularly visited dental offices, or less regularly had their teeth scaled and polished was in the obese group than those in the nonobese group. Multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that age [odds ratio (OR = 3.60)], routine of dental visit (OR = 3.75) and obesity (OR = 3.46) were significantly related to periodontitis.

Conclusion
Periodontal status in obese subjects was poorer than nonobese ones. Obesity, age and dental visit were associated with periodontitis in Vietnamese female patients.

Authors: Azimi Somayyeh , Begom Jamileh Taheri , Rankohi Zahra Elmi 
Published: July 2019

ABSTRACT

Aim
Giant salivary gland stones (more than 15 mm) considered to be rare and a few of well-documented studies report it. In this literature, we report an asymptomatic, 15 mm sialolith in a 47-year-old man with whole procedure of treatment.

Materials and methods
A patient without symptom of Wharton's duct sialolith was detected and treated. Occlusal cross-sectional of mandibule film was used to guide of surgery, transoral approach was made to dissection of stone.

Results
Fifteen millimeters yellow sialolith was obtained, antibiotic therapy done for 1 week was after surgery and 2-month follow-up was done.

Conclusion
Sialoliths are responsible for the obstruction of salivary secretion. More than 80 to 90% of sialoliths, occurs in the submandibular glandular parenchyma or its duct. There is man predilection in parotid or submandibular sialolith. Giant salivary gland stones (more than 15 mm) considered to be rare and a few of well-documented studies report it. Removal of sialolith with intraloral approach is treatment of choice in the anterior duct submandibular gland.

Potential Risk of Prion Transmission during Periodontal Surgeries
Authors: Ganesh PR 
Published: July 2019

ABSTRACT
Prion diseases are a cluster of neurodegenerative diseases seen in both animals and humans and are often invariably fatal. The defining characteristic of prion diseases are the accumulation of abnormal prion proteins in the central nervous system. The prion proteins are not decontaminated with conventional sterilization procedures and persist on metal instruments in contact with infected materials, thus giving rise to queries on cross-contamination during periodontal surgical procedures. This article is a review of literature of prion diseases, collected using the search engines of PubMed and Medline, to analyze the oral manifestations of prion diseases and to investigate the possibility of cross-contamination during periodontal therapy. We conclude by highlighting the need for awareness of prion diseases by periodontists and suggest appropriate decontamination procedures to prevent iatrogenic spread.
Key message
Iatrogenic transmission during regenerative periodontal surgeries with alloplasts and zoografts along with cross-contamination from previously used inadequately disinfected surgical instruments constitutes a very real risk for prion infection transmission in the periodontal office.

Authors: Kumar R Kranthi , Reddy BV Thimma , Nayan Neha 
Published: July 2019

ABSTRACT
Restoration of grossly mutilated primary maxillary incisors affected by early childhood caries has been a challenging task for the pediatric dentist due to the little amount of tooth structure available for bonding and behavioral problems of the children. A variety of treatment options ranging from extraction followed by prosthesis to the usage of intracanal pins and fiber posts have been reported in the past. The present case report depicts one such a case wherein biological restorations were used as post and core to restore the mutilated primary maxillary incisors in a 4-year-old child treated under general anesthesia.

Authors: Pham Thuy Anh Vu , Nguyen Hao TT , Nguyen My TN , Trinh Van NL , Tran Nga Y , Ngo Lan TQ , Tran Ha LB 
Published: July 2019

ABSTRACT

Aims
Our study focused on the fabrication of platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) and evaluated its influences on cell behaviors, including proliferation and migration.

Materials and methods
Platelet-rich fibrin was prepared from human peripheral blood according to Choukroun's method without using nonanticoagulant and foreign factors for platelet activation. Platelet-rich fibrin architecture was studied by hematoxylin and eosin staining. The investigation of PRF effects on human gingival fibroblasts (hGFs) was conducted via PRF liquid extract. Cell proliferation was determined via the number of cells after a period of time incubated in PRF liquid extract. Influence of PRF liquid extract on the migration of hGFs was conducted via scratch wound healing assay.

Results
Histological staining reviewed the natural fibrin fiber matrix of PRF. Platelet-rich fibrin liquid extract promoted hGF proliferation after 7 days of cultivation. Human gingival fibroblast proliferation in PRF liquid extract was more superior than those cultured in complete medium. Platelet-rich fibrin was also found to be able to promote the migration of hGFs for up to 48 hours.

Conclusion
These results indicated that PRF is suitable to be used as autologous natural biomaterial in supporting wound healing and in further application in periodontitis treatments.

Role of Intraoperative Transesophageal Echocardiography in Evaluation of Fontan Conduit for Thrombosis
Authors: Ladha Suruchi , Airan Balram , Das Sambhunath 
Published: July 2019

ABSTRACT
The formation of thrombus after Fontan operation is a lifethreatening situation. The clinical manifestations by the patient may not reflect the true diagnosis of thrombosis. Transesophageal echocardiographic evaluation is an option to delineate the vena cava anastomosis and the Fontan conduit in different views. We used transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) to detect the thrombus site prior to surgery and guided for a successful removal of thrombus. The successful surgical revision of the anastomosis was confirmed by TEE.

ABSTRACT
Major vessel injury is a possible complication during pericardiectomy for chronic constrictive pericarditis (CCP). We present a case of CCP, who while undergoing radical pericardiectomy incurred an iatrogenic injury of a major vessel with profuse bleeding. A rent in main pulmonary artery (MPA) was detected by the surgical team and simultaneously confirmed on transesophageal echocardiography (TEE), and a timely intervention was done. Importance of monitoring TEE in a patient undergoing pericardiectomy for CCP is highlighted.

Revitalization of periodontally Compromised Tooth using Platelet-rich Fibrin
Authors: Anuroopa P , Savita S , Singh Navnita 
Published: July 2019

ABSTRACT
The primary objective of periodontal therapy is to gain access to the diseased sites, achieving reduction in pocket depth, arresting further disease progression, and finally restoring the periodontal tissues lost due to disease process. This can be achieved with the help of bone grafts and guided tissue regeneration. In recent times, the use of growth factors in different forms has been advocated to regulate various cell-stromal interactions in periodontal regeneration.
Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF), a rich source of autologous growth factors and cytokines, is an upcoming therapeutic approach in the management of periodontal osseous defects. Platelet-rich fibrin along with the commercially available bone grafts provides a potential for enhanced bone and soft tissue regeneration. This case report focuses on saving a mandibular anterior tooth with poor prognosis using PRF and alloplast bone graft to meet with the esthetic demand of patients.

‘Viral’ Hunts? A Cultural Darwinian Analysis of Witch Persecutions
Authors: Hofhuis Steije , Boudry Maarten 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
The theory of Darwinian cultural evolution is gaining currency in many parts of the socio-cultural sciences, but it remains contentious. Critics claim that the theory is either fundamentally mistaken or boils down to a fancy re-description of things we knew all along. We will argue that cultural Darwinism can indeed resolve long-standing socio-cultural puzzles; this is demonstrated through a cultural Darwinian analysis of the European witch persecutions. Two central and unresolved questions concerning witch-hunts will be addressed. From the fifteenth to the seventeenth centuries, a remarkable and highly specific concept of witchcraft was taking shape in Europe. The first question is: who constructed it? With hindsight, we can see that the concept contains many elements that appear to be intelligently designed to ensure the continuation of witch persecutions, such as the witches’ sabbat, the diabolical pact, nightly flight, and torture as a means of interrogation. The second question is: why did beliefs in witchcraft and witch-hunts persist and disseminate, despite the fact that, as many historians have concluded, no one appears to have substantially benefited from them? Historians have convincingly argued that witch-hunts were not inspired by some hidden agenda; persecutors genuinely believed in the threat of witchcraft to their communities. We propose that the apparent ‘design’ exhibited by concepts of witchcraft resulted from a Darwinian process of evolution, in which cultural variants that accidentally enhanced the reproduction of the witch-hunts were selected and accumulated. We argue that witch persecutions form a prime example of a ‘viral’ socio-cultural phenomenon that reproduces ‘selfishly’, even harming the interests of its human hosts.

Begroting van immateriële schade: over de betekenis van de duur van het lijden bij blijvend en bij dodelijk letsel
In deze bijdrage wordt de betekenis van de duur van het lijden bij begroting van immateriële schade in verband met blijvend letsel en wegens dodelijk letsel geanalyseerd. Volgens de Hoge Raad is de duur van het lijden een omstandigheid die de rechter bij de begroting van het smartengeld in het bijzonder dient mee te wegen, maar in de literatuur wordt opgemerkt dat de betekenis van deze factor niet steeds duidelijk is. Deze bijdrage geeft de stand van zaken in de rechtspraak en in de Nederlandstalige literatuur weer en biedt een nadere analyse van de betekenis van de duur van het lijden.

De verhaals(on)mogelijkheden van de WAM-verzekeraar bij (joy)rijden zonder rijbewijs. Bijdrage naar aanleiding van Hof Arnhem-Leeuwarden 23 oktober 2018, ECLI:NL:GHARL:2018:9273 en Hof Arnhem-Leeuwarden 9 april 2019, ECLI:NL:GHARL:2019:3129
In krap een halfjaar tijd deed het Gerechtshof Arnhem-Leeuwarden uitspraak in twee vergelijkbare zaken, waarin sprake was van joyriding door een jeugdig familielid van de verzekeringnemer en waarbij de betrokkene reed zonder (geldig) rijbewijs. In beide zaken trachtte de WAM-verzekeraar van het betrokken voertuig de aan derde-benadeelden gedane uitkeringen te verhalen. Een belangrijk verschil: de ene verzekeraar richtte zich tot zijn eigen verzekerde, de andere verzekeraar richtte zich tot de joyrider. Aan de hand van de beide arresten belicht deze bijdrage de verhaalsmogelijkheden van een WAM-verzekeraar in geval van joyriden zonder (geldig) rijbewijs.

Misgelopen woongenot en vergoeding van materiële schade. Rb. Noord-Nederland 1 maart 2017, ECLI:NL:RBNNE:2017:715
Op 1 maart 2017 wees de Rechtbank Noord-Nederland vonnis in een zaak die ging over de vergoeding van immateriële schade en de vergoeding van vermogensschade in de zin van het gemis van het onstoffelijk voordeel, zijnde gederfd woongenot, ten gevolge van aardbevingen ontstaan door gaswinning door de Nederlandse Aardolie Maatschappij. Deze annotatie concentreert zich uitsluitend op laatstgenoemde schadepost. Ondanks dat het vonnis ruim twee jaar oud is, zijn de vragen die het oproept nog zeer actueel. Zo is recentelijk door de Rechtbank Noord-Nederland in een andere zaak hierover een prejudiciële vraag voorgelegd aan de Hoge Raad.
Improved salt tolerance in transgenic tobacco by over-expression of poplar NAC13 gene
Authors: Zhang Xuemei , Cheng Zihan , Zhao Kai , Li Renhua , Zhou Boru , Jiang Tingbo 
Published: July 2019

Background: NACs are one of the major transcription factor families in plants which play an important role in plant growth and development, as well as in adverse stress responses.
Methods: In this study, we cloned a salt-inducible NAC transcription factor gene (NAC13) from a poplar variety 84K, followed by transforming it into both tobacco and Arabidopsis.
Results: Stable expression analysis of 35S::NAC13-GFP fusion protein in Arabidopsis indicated that NAC13 was localized to the nucleus. We also obtained five transgenic tobacco lines. Evidence from morphological and physiological characterization and salt treatment analyses indicated that the transgenic tobacco enhanced salt tolerance, suggesting that NAC13 gene may function as a positive regulator in tobacco responses to salt stress. Furthermore, evidence from yeast two-hybrid screening demonstrated that NAC13 protein functions as a transcriptional activator, with an activation domain located in the C-terminal region.
Discussion: NAC13 gene plays an important role in response to salt stress in tobacco. Future studies are needed to shed light on molecular mechanisms of gene regulation and gene networks related to NAC13 gene in response to salt stress, which will provide a valuable theoretical basis for forest genetic breeding and resistant breeding.
UK universities compliance with the Concordat to Support Research Integrity: findings from cross-sectional time-series
Authors: Wager Elizabeth 
Published: July 2019

Background
The Concordat to Support Research Integrity published in 2012 recommends that UK research institutions should provide a named point of contact to receive concerns about research integrity (RI). The Concordat also requires institutions to publish annual RI statements.

Objective
To see whether contact information for a staff member responsible for RI was readily available from UK university websites and to see how many universities published annual RI statements.

Methods
UK university websites were searched in mid-2012, mid-2014 and mid-2018. The availability of contact details for RI inquiries, other information about RI and, specifically, an annual RI statement, was recorded.

Results
The proportion of UK universities publishing an email address for RI inquiries rose from 23% in 2012 (31/134) to 55% in 2018. The same proportion (55%) published at least one annual RI statement in 2018, but only three provided statements for all years from 2012/13. There was great variation in the titles used for the staff member with responsibility for RI which made searching difficult.

Conclusion
Over 6 years after the publication of the Concordat to Support Research Integrity, nearly half of UK universities are not complying with all its recommendations and do not provide contact details for a staff member with responsibility for RI or an annual statement.
