Congenital sternal defect repair in an adult cat with incomplete pentalogy of Cantrell
Authors: Eiger Sophie N. , Mison Michael B. , Aronson Lillian R. 
Published: April 2019

Abstract

CASE DESCRIPTION
A 1-year-old spayed female domestic shorthair cat was evaluated for a sternal defect and ventral abdominal wall hernia.

CLINICAL FINDINGS
The cat appeared healthy. Palpation revealed a sternal defect, and the heart could be observed beating underneath the skin at the caudoventral aspect of the thorax. A 3-cm-diameter freely movable mass, consistent with a hernia, was also palpated at the cranioventral aspect of the abdomen. Thoracic radiographic and CT images revealed a sternal cleft, cranial midline abdominal wall hernia, and peritoneopericardial diaphragmatic hernia (PPDH).

TREATMENT AND OUTCOME
Thoracotomy and celiotomy were performed. The sternal cleft was repaired with a porcine small intestinal submucosa graft, titanium contourable mesh plate, and interrupted 25-gauge cerclage wires. A diaphragmatic herniorrhaphy was used to correct the PPDH. Thoracic radiographs were obtained immediately after surgery to confirm repair of the sternal cleft, abdominal wall hernia, and PPDH and at 1 and 3 months after surgery to assess the surgical implants, which had not migrated and were intact with only mild bending at the cranial and caudal margins of the mesh plate. At both recheck examinations, the cat appeared healthy with no complications reported by the owner.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE
A novel surgical technique was used to successfully repair a large sternal cleft in an adult cat with no postoperative complications reported. This technique may be useful for the treatment of sternal clefts in other cats. This was the first report to describe an adult cat with congenital defects consistent with incomplete pentalogy of Cantrell.

Carnaval é política:
Authors: Dos Santos Rosana Maria 
Published: April 2019

O objetivo deste artigo é analisar a organização do Carnaval do Recife como parte do processo de modernização da capital pernambucana (1930-1950). O controle aos populares durante o reinado de Momo torna-se intenso à medida que a cidade precisava mostra-se civilizada e com ordem. As elites procuraram interferir no cotidiano da classe operária, buscando neutralizar movimentos tanto políticos quanto de lazer e divertimentos. Desse modo, houve um incentivo à assimilações de práticas moralizantes, assim como também, uma tentativa de adestrar os dominados, para assim obter o controle nos seus momentos de não trabalho, procurando controlar os seus hábitos e diversões. A conquista das ruas pelo povo fez crescer a violência no reinado de Momo. Os anos de 1930 são marcados por uma forte competitividade e conflitos entre os clubes carnavalescos. E essa onda de violência tornou-se uma preocupação não só das autoridades políticas, mas também dos empresários da época. Diante da insegurança durante dias de festa, na década de 1930 foi criada a Federação Carnavalesca Pernambucana. De acordo com o Anuário do Carnaval pernambucano, os argumentos que justificavam a sua criação eram que a “alta sociedade” pernambucana estava interessada no progresso do Estado, e que se fazia necessário tornar o Recife uma cidade do turismo, do Carnaval e da ordem. Assim o artigo traz contribuições para o estudo do fenômeno da festa, no nosso caso, o Carnaval, e os desdobramentos, vozes e interesses que nele circulam. A pesquisa dialoga com historiadores da história social da cultura, como E. P. Thompson e Michel de Certeau, com o objetivo de entender as formas festivas da sociedade e principalmente o ser social que está inserido nas suas normas e estruturas.

Published: April 2019

This research aims to test the limits of the theory that have found certain relationships in the West relating to the antecedents of stress. This research aims to show that much of the theories and research in the West are culture-bound and do not necessarily apply to other countries such as Malaysia and especially among certain age groups such as those between 15 years and 34 years known as Generation Y. Results of regression show that role ambiguity, work intensification, working conditions are significant predictors of work-related stress but role conflict, relationship with colleagues, and bullying or harassment are not significant predictors. Possible reasons for this phenomenon are offered.

Triphala - An Indigenous Ayurvedic Mouthwash As An Anti-Inflammatory Agent - A Clinical Study
Authors: Chatterjee Shibam , Manohar Balaji , Shetty Neema , Mathur Aditi , Makhijani Barkha 
Published: April 2019

Background: An antiplaque agent with minimal side effects that can be used as an effective adjunct to mechanical plaque control is needed. Mouthwash has been used for centuries for medicinal and cosmetic purposes, but in recent years, the rationale behind the use of chemical ingredients has been subjected to scientific research and clinical trials. Herbal medicines are in great demand in the developed as well as in developing countries for primary health care because of their wide biological and medicinal activities, higher safety margin, and lower costs. Triphala mouthwash used in Ayurveda since ancient times, is well-known for its anti-plaque, anti-gingivitis and anti-microbial properties.
Aim: To evaluate and compare the effects of an indigenously prepared 0.6% triphala mouthwash on dental plaque and gingival inflammation with a commercially available chlorhexidine mouthwash.
Materials and Methods: 20 subjects in the age group of 20-40 years with mild to moderate gingivitis were selected and divided into two equal groups in the study. Following oral prophylaxis, Group I (n=10) subjects were instructed to rinse with 10 ml of 0.2% chlorhexidine mouthwash, Group II (n=10) subjects with 10 ml of 0.6% triphala mouthwash twice daily for 14 days. Oral Hygiene Index-Simplified, Turesky- Gilmore-Glickman modification of Quigley-Hein-Plaque index and Gingival Index were recorded at baseline, 7 and 14 days respectively.
Results: Group I and Group II subjects showed statistically significant results in the reduction of the clinical parameters (p < 0.001). Group I subjects showed statistically significant results in reduction of the plaque status (p < 0.05) whereas; Group II subjects showed significant reduction in the gingival inflammation (p < 0.05).
Conclusion: Although, 0.2% chlorhexidine mouthwash yielded better results, 0.6%Triphala mouthwash may be used for short duration of time without any potential side-effects as an alternative to chlorhexidine mouthwash in reducing gingival inflammation.
Amlodipine induced Gingival Overgrowth in Patients at a Tertiary Level Hospital of Nepal
Authors: Sharma Arun , Joshi Rinku , Laxmi Rana Sweta Rajya , Shrestha Dhan Bahadur , Joshi Pramod Raj , Khadka Sitarama 
Published: April 2019

Background: Amlodipine is a commonly prescribed anti-hypertensive in clinical practice. Gingival overgrowth is a rare side effect of this drug; with a reported prevalence of 1.7-3.3% in literature. Gingival overgrowth can cause aesthetic and functional problems as well as cause hindrance to maintain proper oral hygiene, thereby deteriorating the periodontal condition of the patient. The prevalence of Amlodipine induced gingival overgrowth is poorly defined in our country.
Aim: This study aims to assess Amlodipine induced gingival overgrowth in a tertiary level referral hospital of Nepal Army.
Materials and Methods: This study was conducted on hypertensive patients with amlodipine therapy under regular follow up in the Department of Internal Medicine of Shree Birendra Hospital from September to December 2017. The data from record keeping was used for the study. Ethical clearance from Institutional Review committee of Nepal Army Institute of Health Sciences was obtained before conducting the study.
Results: Out of 507 patients taking amlodipine, 240 were eligible for study and six (2.5%) were found to have amlodipine induced gingival overgrowth. These patients were on a dose of 5-10 mg over six months to 25 years. The gingival overgrowth was correlated with dose and duration which was statistically significant (p<0.05).
Conclusion: Low prevalence of amlodipine induced gingival overgrowth and correlation with dose and duration was seen in this short-term study. However further large-scale follow-up studies may be required to assess the severity of the problem.

Authors: Shrestha Shilu , Shrestha Surendra Man , Pradhan Ameena , Aryal Shreeya 
Published: April 2019

Background: Porous hydroxyapatite and β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP + HA) bone grafting material has resulted in clinically acceptable responses when used to fill the periodontal intrabony defects. PRF is an autologous leukocyte and platelet preparation that concentrates various polypeptide growth factors which therefore holds potential to be used as regenerative treatment for periodontal defects.
Aim: The purpose of this study was to evaluate clinical and radiographic outcomes in periodontal intrabony defects treated with platelet rich fibrin compared to alloplastic bone graft material.
Materials and Methods: Twenty subjects (10 subject per group, one site/subject) were treated either with platelet rich fibrin or alloplastic bone graft (30% β-TCP+ 70% HA). Primary clinical parameters: PD, CAL were taken at baseline, three months, six months and nine months post-operatively. Standardised radiographic data were collected at baseline, six months and nine months postoperatively.
Results: Preoperative parameters were similar for both groups. Postsurgical measurements revealed a greater reduction in pocket depth in bone graft group (2.5 mm), greater CAL gain (2.2 mm) and greater defect fill (1.30 mm) as compared to platelet rich fibrin group (1.50 mm, 1.6 mm and 0.80 mm respectively ) at nine months.
Conclusion: Treatment of intrabony defects with alloplast (30% β TCP+ 70% HA) or platelet rich fibrin both resulted in a significant probing depth reduction, CAL gain and bone depth reduction, with significantly better improvement in bone graft group.
Modern Problems, Classical Solutions An Islamic Perspective on the Family
Authors: Abdal-Ati Hammudah 
Published: April 2019

Few observers can deny the serious problems of the contemporary family. Foremost among these is probably the reluctance of family patrons, critics, and “clinicians” to consider alternative solutions different from their own. An attempt is made to identify some basic problems such as the very viability of the family, the nature of marriage, and the “generation gap.” Alternative solutions drawn from the classical family system of Islam are presented. Thought provoking and diffusion of ideas are contemplated. More importantly, a common viable alternative may be introduced to the perplexed modern society and at the same time rediscovered by Muslim society. The family in Islam rests upon blood ties and/or marriage. Members are bound together in a web of reciprocal relationships oriented, ultimately, to God. Every member is assured of his rights to life, support, dignity, and care; but equitable reciprocity is imperative. Marriage is both a contract and a sacrament, a commitment and a fulfillment. Conditional polygyny is permissible. So is divorce as the very last resort. It may be initiated unilaterally or bilaterally. But reconciliation even after divorce is highly commendable. Relatives inherit one another in proportion to their responsibility for, and natural closeness to, one another.; The whole system is based on compassion and equity, entrusted to individual conscientiousness and societal care, and reinforced by divine involvement.
A Two-Strain Deterministic Dengue Model With Seasonality Effect
Authors: Abidemi Afeez , Abd Aziz Mohd Ismail , Ahmad Rohanin 
Published: April 2019

A compartmental model is proposed to describe the dynamics of vector-host interations for dengue disease transmission with coexistence of two virus serotypes. The model is modified to incorporate seasonal-dependent mosquito birth rate in order to examine the influence of climatic factors such as rainfall and temperature on the dynamics of mosquito population and dengue disease transmission. The Next Generation Matrix method is used to obtain the basic reproduction number associated with the model without seasonality effect. The global dynamics of the model is analysed using the Comparison Theorem. The model is simulated in MATLAB with ode45 routine for two cases, namely: the less aggressive case (Case ) and the more aggressive case (Case ). Analysis of the model shows that the Disease-Free Equilibrium (DFE) is locally asymptotically stable whenever both the basic reproduction numbers R01 (associated with strain only) and R0j (associated with strain only) are below unity. It is shown that the DFE is globally asymptotically stable when the susceptibility indices for secondary infection in strain 1 ( sigma1) and strain j ( sigmaj), and are all less than 1.
