What to Examine in Youth Climbing Athletes: Yearly Examination of the German Climbing Team and its Consequences
Authors: Schöffl Isabelle , Lutter Christoph , Schöffl Volker 
Published: October 2019

Abstract
Objective This article presents the results of the yearly medical examination performed on all our national climbing athletes in 2016 and 2017.
Methods Our yearly athlete examination follows the Olympic guidelines and those of the Medical Commission of the International Federation of Sport Climbing. It consists of echocardiography, spiroergometry, a general blood examination, body fat measurement as well as a paediatric and orthopaedic clinical examination. In addition, a yearly ultrasound examination is performed on the fingers to detect pathologies and measure the width of the growth plates. The years 2016/2017 were evaluated.
Results Team examinations were undertaken in 17 girls and 23 boys. The mean age was 17.5 years (18.3 years for the boys and 17.4 years for the girls). They had been climbing for 10.9 years on average (the boys for 11.3 and the girls for 10.3 years). Typical findings were susceptibility to infection, musculoskeletal injuries and, in one case, severe headaches. 36 % of our athletes had to take a break from climbing due to injury or illness. Most of these breaks were due to infections (7 in total), most of them minor inspiratory or gastrointestinal. One athlete suffered from severe pneumonia during a World Cup in Japan. The other pauses were due to finger injuries (2), foot injuries (2), and injuries to the shoulder and biceps (2).
Conclusion The yearly team examination plays an important role in early injury detection. It helps to establish a relationship based on trust, encouraging athletes to approach the team physician openly with questions or concerns.

Abstract
Background and study aims Diagnostic sensitivity for indeterminate biliary lesions remains suboptimal. Cytology techniques may mitigate the impediment of small cholangioscopic specimens. Our primary aim was to compare cell block cytology (CB) with standard histology for foregut SpyBite (SB) specimens. Our secondary aim was to assess CB in biliary SB biopsies.
Patients and methods This was a two-phase prospective pilot study. In phase one, a prospective pilot study, foregut SB specimens from three sites (4 per site per patient per processing technique) were allocated to CB or histology, and assessed by a single, blinded pathologist. The gold standard comprised two standard forceps (CFB) histological specimens per site per patient. Specimen ease of processing, size and number, adequacy for diagnosis and artefact were evaluated. In phase two, CB was used for consecutive patients with indeterminate biliary lesions, and compared with phase one CB results.
Results In phase one, 240 SB foregut biopsies were performed in 10 patients, 227 specimens recorded by pathologist. Specimen origin was identified in 100 % and 97 % of histology and CB batches respectively. Specimens were significantly larger in the histology group (2.02 mm vs 1.49 mm, P < 0.05). There was a trend to less crush artifact with CB, and no difference in processing difficulty. In phase two, 11 patients (63.0 ±12.7 years, 91 % female) underwent SpyGlass (SG) assessment of suspected indeterminate stricture (n = 8) or mass (n = 3), and six underwent SB. All CB specimens were adequate for diagnosis. Specimen parameters were not significantly different from luminal CB outcomes.
Conclusions In this pilot study, cell block cytology showed similar results as histological analysis of SpyBite specimens in the analysis of biliary stricture.

Abstract
Background and study aims Esophageal xanthomas are considered to be rare, and their endoscopic diagnosis has not been fully elucidated. The aim of the present study was to determine the characteristics of the endoscopic appearance of esophageal xanthomas.
Patients and methods This was a retrospective study of consecutive patients with histologically diagnosed esophageal xanthomas at a referral cancer center in Japan. The endoscopic appearance, by magnifying or image-enhanced endoscopy, and histological findings of esophageal xanthomas were investigated.
Results Seven patients (six men and one woman) were enrolled. All of the patients had a solitary lesion, and the median size was 2 mm (range, 1 – 5 mm). Conventional white-light endoscopy showed the lesions as flat areas with yellowish spots in four cases and slightly elevated yellowish lesions in three cases. Magnifying endoscopy, performed in six patients, revealed the lesions as areas with aggregated minute yellowish spots with tortuous microvessels inside. Magnifying narrow-band imaging contrasted the yellowish spots and microvessels better than white-light endoscopy. In all lesions, histological examination showed that the yellowish spots corresponded to papillae filled with foam cells. The foam cells were strongly immunopositive for CD68, and in all lesions, CD34-positive intrapapillary capillaries surrounded the aggregated foam cells. The different morphologies of the flat and slightly elevated lesions corresponded to different densities of papillae filled with foam cells.
Conclusions Magnifying endoscopy revealed minute yellowish spots with tortuous microvessels inside. These correspond well with histological findings and so may be useful in the diagnosis of esophageal xanthomas.
Ossicular Integrity in Chronic Otitis Media (Mucosal Type): A Surgical Review
Authors: Mohanty Sanjeev 
Published: October 2019

AbstractOssicular discontinuity usually cannot be determined unless an operation is performed. However, the predictive value of preoperative audiological factors in diagnosing incudal necrosis in patients with chronic otitis media (COM) – mucosal type is reasonably accurate. Ossiculoplasty was performed with autologous incus, and audiometric assessment was done to compare the hearing improvement postoperatively.
Dental Alloy Sorting By the Thermoelectric Method
Authors: Kikuchi Masafumi 
Published: October 2019

ABSTRACTObjectives: A nondestructive, rapid, and practical method of dental alloy sorting is desirable. In this study, the hypothesis to be tested is that dental alloys show significantly different and high thermoelectric power values, on the basis of which alloy sorting is possible.Methods: Six silver-colored commercial dental casting alloys are used in this study: two silver alloys, one gold-silver-palladium alloy, one cobalt-chromium alloy, one nickel-chromium alloy, and one titanium alloy. The thermoelectric power of their castings was determined against constantan using a simple apparatus developed in a previous study. Linear least square fitting was applied to the measured thermal-EMF-temperature curve to determine the thermoelectric power for the temperature ranges of 298.303 K (temperature difference Δt = 5 K), 298.308 K (Δt=10 K), 298.313 K (Δt=15 K), and 298.318 K (Δt=20 K). The results were analyzed using one-way ANOVA and by the Scheffefs test at a significance level of α=0.01.Results: When the temperature difference was 10 K or less, the difference in the thermoelectric powers of the alloys was not always statistically significant. However, when the temperature difference was 15 K or more, the thermoelectric powers of the six alloys differed significantly.Conclusions: The results indicated the feasibility of rapid sorting of specific dental alloys by the thermoelectric method, provided a sufficiently large temperature difference is achieved.

A Talon Cusp on Fused Teeth Associated with Hypodontia: Report of a Unique Case
Authors: Dinesh Rao B , Hegde Sapna 
Published: October 2019

ABSTRACTFusion and talon cusps are rare developmental dental anomalies affecting both primary and permanent dentitions. Talon cusps normally occur on the palatal surface of permanent maxillary incisors, while fused teeth are more common in the primary anterior dentition. An understanding of these dental anomalies and their associated problems are important to provide prophylactic measures, thereby preventing or minimizing possible complications. This paper presents a unique case of fused mandibular permanent incisors with a lingual talon cusp associated with hypodontia of an adjacent tooth. (Eur J Dent 2010;4:75-80)

Published: October 2019

AbstractDystrophinopathies are a group of X-linked neuromuscular disorders resulting from mutations in DMD gene that encodes dystrophin. The clinical spectrum includes Duchenne muscular dystrophy, Becker muscular dystrophy, X-linked cardiomyopathy, and intellectual disability without involvement of skeletal muscle. Cognitive and behavioral problems are commonly seen among patients with dystrophinopathy. DMD gene is the largest human gene, consisting of 79 exons that produce dystrophin protein. Patients with genetic changes involving shorter dystrophin isoforms such as Dp140 and Dp71 are suggested to have higher rates of intellectual disability, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, and other neuropsychiatric comorbidities. We describe three brothers who presented with prominent neurobehavioral deficits of varying degree, mild proximal weakness, and elevated serum creatine kinase due to a rare nonsense mutation, c.1702C > T; p.Gln568X, in exon 14 of DMD gene. Further studies are needed to better understand the effects of this rare mutation.

Effect of different palatal vault shapes on the dimensional stability of glass fiber-reinforced heat-polymerized acrylic resin denture base material
Authors: Dalkiz Mehmet , Arslan Demet , Tuncdemir Riza Ali , Bilgin Selim M , Aykul Halil 
Published: October 2019

ABSTRACTObjective: The aim of this study was to determine the effect of different palatal vault shapes on the dimensional stability of a glass fiber reinforced heat polymerized acrylic resin denture base materialMethods: Three edentulous maxilla with shallow, deep and medium shaped palatal vaults were selected and elastomeric impressions were obtained. A maxillary cast with four reference points (A, B, C, and D) was prepared to serve as control. Point (A) was marked in the anterior midline of the edentulous ridge in the incisive papillary region, points (B) and (C) were marked in the right and left posterior midlines of the edentulous ridge in the second molar regions, and point (D) was marked in the posterior palatal midline near the fovea palatina media (Figure 2). To determine linear dimensional changes, distances between four reference points (A-B, A-C, A-D and B-C) were initially measured with a metal gauge accurate within 0.1 mm under a binocular stereo light microscope and data (mm) were recordedResults:No significant difference of interfacial distance was found in sagittal and frontal sections measured 24 h after polymerization and after 30 days of water storage in any of experimental groups (P>05). Significant difference of linear dimension were found in all experimental groups (P<.01) between measurements made 24 h after polymerization of specimens and 30 days after water storageConclusion: Palatal vault shape and fiber impregnation into the acrylic resin bases did not affect the magnitude of interfacial gaps between the bases and the stone cast surfaces.

Authors: Tosun Gul , Yildiz Esma , Elbay Mesut , Sener Yagmur 
Published: October 2019

ABSTRACTObjective: The reattachment of the crown fragment to a fractured tooth is a conservative treatment that should be considered for young patients with crown-root fractures to the maxillary incisors if the subgingival fracture can be exposed to provide isolation. Gingivectomy, the surgical or orthodontic extrusion of the apical fragment is necessary to expose the subgingival fracture. This report demonstrates the treatment of two cases with the combination of gingivectomy or resective osseous surgery, reattachment of coronal fracture and fiber-reinforced polymer posts and shows three years long term follow-up. Subgingivally extended crown-root fractures of maxillary incisors were restored with a combination of chemically cured resin material, light cured resin material and polyethylene fiber.Conclusion: Within the limitations of this case report, it was demonstrated that reattachment of tooth fragments can successfully benefit periodontal health, aesthetic needs and normal functioning after three years.

Oral contraceptive pill induced periodontal endocrinopathies and its management: A case report
Authors: Mistry Surajit , Bhowmick Debarati Carolina 
Published: October 2019

ABSTRACTThe purpose of this article is to report a case of unusual oral contraceptive induced periodontal endocrinopathies and its treatment approach. A 32-year-old female patient, having fair oral hygiene, presented with painless, soft, diffuse gingival enlargement on severely compromised periodontium (≥ 4 mm generalized alveolar bone loss and attachment loss). The patient had on oral contraceptive over five years that was discontinued six months ago. When the lesion was not reversed following withdrawal of the pill or by repeated non-surgical measures, biopsy was performed to establish the diagnosis that revealed microscopic findings similar to that seen in gingival enlargement in pregnancy. Pocket depth, tooth mobility and gingival enlargement were reduced remarkably following periodontal surgery. After surgical intervention, close follow-up for over three years revealed no evidence of recurrence of gingival enlargement and progressive attachment loss. We conclude that periodontal surgery, patient compliance and comprehensive maintenance care are effective to return healthy periodontal status in such conditions. (Eur J Dent 2012;6:324-329)
Isolated bilateral macrodontia of mandibular second premolars: A case report
Authors: Canoglu Ebru , Canoglu Harun , Aktas Alper , Cehreli Zafer C 
Published: October 2019

ABSTRACTIsolated bilateral macrodontia of mandibular second premolars is an extremely rare dental anomaly with only 5 cases reported to date. This case report presents clinical and radiographic findings of isolated bilateral macrodontia in a 12-year-old child. The patient was referred to the clinic with local crowding of mandibular posterior teeth. Radiographic findings revealed the presence of impacted macrodont mandibular second premolars and their distinct morphological appearance, characterized by large, multitubercular, molariform crowns, and tapering, single roots. Following surgical removal of the impacted premolars, orthodontic therapy was initiated to correct the malocclusion. Along with the features and treatment of this rare anomaly, this case report also illustrates the benefits, in terms of treatment planning and surgical technique, of supplementing conventional radiography with cone-beam computed tomography to localize the macrodont premolars and accurately establish their relationship with the neighboring roots and anatomic structures.

The public’s health and the social meaning of guns
Authors: Galea Sandro , Abdalla Salma M. 
Published: October 2019

AbstractGuns have long affected the health of the American population. The preponderance of evidence showing that guns harm the public’s health suggests that regulating civilian access to guns should be universally embraced. Yet, action on guns has been vanishingly small. Why? At core, the inaction reflects a clash between our knowledge and our values. Despite the compelling public health argument for better gun control, we have not been able to grapple with the social meaning of guns, which informs the values that shape the public conversation. Doing so will require public health to engage in transdisciplinary work that pushes the field’s boundaries.
Los episodios doceañistas y la incorporación de andalucismos al drae (1817)
Authors: Carriscondo-Esquivel Francisco M. 
Published: October 2019

Abstract
In every aspect of life, 19th century Spain was not peaceful. Despite tumultuous times, members of the Real
Academia Española (Royal Spanish Academy) managed to publish a new edition of the Diccionario de la lengua
castellana (
drae 1817). A notable achievement, they published one
of the best editions of the academic dictionary ever. In this paper, I analyze the introduction of words and their meaning from
the region of Andalusia. The diatopic labels corresponding to this Spanish region are used widely. I explain the existence of this
dialectal lexicon in
drae (1817) by connecting it to historical events around
1812. This was the same year when liberal politicians and intellectuals established the Spanish Constitution of 1812
(Constitución política de la monarquía española) in the Andalusian city of Cádiz.
Telephone interpreting and roadside assistance

Published: October 2019

Abstract
The study of dialogue interpreting, particularly over the phone, has been traditionally undertaken under the scope
of public service interpreting. However, telephone interpreting nowadays is becoming popular in other settings, such as in the
domain of roadside assistance. The aim of this contribution is to present the initial steps of a research project about telephone
interpreting and roadside assistance. The methodology, based on corpus and discourse analysis, is described and preliminary
findings are offered, which confirm the existence of a common structure for interpreter-mediated conversations between insurance
agents and clients.
Halogenated monolayer SnS: a first-principles studies
Authors: Yeoh K H , Yoon T L , Rusi  , Ong D S , Lim T L 
Published: October 2019

Abstract
The electronic and structural properties of a halogenated monolayer SnS is investigated by using first-principles calculations. The preferred adsorption sites for F, Cl and Br are found to be on top of the Sn atom while I atom prefers to adsorb on top of the SnS ring. All the halogenated monolayers SnS exhibit metallic behavior with charge transfer from the monolayer SnS to the halogen adatom. In the relaxed system, a larger halogen atom is located further away from the monolayer SnS which results in smaller charger transfer and thus weaker binding energy. Compared to the pristine monolayer SnS, the work function of the F, Cl or Br functionalized monolayer SnS is increased by 22 %, while for the case of I adsorption, the work function is further increased by 30%.
Deterministic direct growth of WS2 on CVD graphene arrays

Published: October 2019

Abstract
The combination of the exciting properties of graphene with those of monolayer tungsten disulfide (WS2) makes this heterostack of great interest for electronic, optoelectronic and spintronic applications. The scalable synthesis of graphene/WS2 heterostructures on technologically attractive substrates like SiO2 would greatly facilitate the implementation of novel two-dimensional (2D) devices. In this work, we report the direct growth of monolayer WS2 via chemical vapor deposition (CVD) on single-crystal graphene arrays on SiO2. Remarkably, spectroscopic and microscopic characterization reveals that WS2 grows only on top of the graphene crystals so that the vertical heterostack is selectively obtained in a bottom-up fashion. Spectroscopic characterization indicates that, after WS2 synthesis, graphene undergoes compressive strain and hole doping. Tailored experiments show that such hole doping is caused by the modification of the SiO2 stoichiometry at the graphene/SiO2 interface during the WS2 growth. Electrical transport measurements reveal that the heterostructure behaves like an electron-blocking layer at large positive gate voltage, which makes it a suitable candidate for the development of unipolar optoelectronic components.
10 Playing Our Part - Are The Occupational Therapists Completing A Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment?
Authors: Lavery Paula , O'Connor Sinéad 
Published: October 2019

Abstract

Background
10% of people over 65 years have frailty, rising to between a quarter and a half of those over 85. Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA) is the gold standard for the management of frailty in older people; it’s a process that involves a holistic, interdisciplinary assessment of the older person. Evidence shows that CGA is effective in improving outcomes for older people. The National Clinical Programme for the Older Person outlines the role of the occupational therapist in CGA. A clinical audit was completed to investigate whether the occupational therapists in the Medicine for the Older Person service are adhering to guidelines for CGA.

Methods
Following a literature review, a retrospective audit of occupational therapy (OT) initial assessments was completed using paper count method. Data pertinent to CGA OT assessment was collected. Audit results were presented to the OT team alongside a CGA education session. A re-audit was completed, using above methods.

Results
10 inpatient initial assessment forms reviewed pre and post audit.
Activities of Daily Living Assessment:
Pre result: 60% Post Result: 90%
Home Environment:
Pre: 80% Post: 100%
Performance Components Assessment:
Vision: Pre: 90% Post: 100%
Hearing: Pre: 80% Post: 100%
Upper Limb: Pre: 70% Post: 100%
Mood: Pre: 60% Post: 80%
Cognition: Pre: 90% Post: 100%
Sleep: Pre: 70% Post: 80%
Social Assessment: Pre: 60% Post:90%
Falls Assessment: Pre: 60% Post: 90%
Drving: Pre: 60% Post: 90%

Conclusion
This audit identified that the occupational therapists in the medicine for the older person service were not CGA compliant. CGA training now forms an important part of our OT induction programme. We are now “playing our part” in CGA with improvements in all domains. CGA is now commonplace practice within our team, in line with international and national best practice guidance for management of frailty.
