Background
Paravalvular or paraprosthetic leak (PVL) is a complication associated with the surgical/transcatheter implantation of a prosthetic heart valve, more commonly a mechanical than a bioprosthetic valve. Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) is the most important diagnostic modality for prosthetic valve function/dysfunction. However, TTE often cannot differentiate the PVL from prosthetic regurgitation. Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is the modality of choice which is also able to detect small, nonsignificant jets.

Case Report
We present a case of 78-year-old male who had undergone mitral valve replacement with Epic St. Jude tissue valve 3 years back and now presented to our hospital with NYHA class III dyspnea since few months prior to admission. It was associated with cough with mucoid expectoration along with orthopnea. TTE revealed moderate PAH with increased gradient across bioprosthetic mitral valve with suspicion of peravalvular leak (Fig. 1). Three-dimensional (3D) volume rendering image analysis after cropping suggested oval perivalvular area of leakage which was confirmed with the help of 3D color rendering (Fig. 2). It showed early separation of perivalvular leak from paravalvular area.

Discussion
The majority of PVL are crescent, oval or roundish-shaped and their track can be parallel, perpendicular or serpiginous. Incidence of PVL, including small nonsignificant jets, is estimated to be as high as 20%.1 TEE is more useful than TTE in evaluating the shape of paravalvular defect. It may also help in assessing eccentric jets and differentiating between single and multiple jets. Major progress in TEE in the area of PVL imaging has been 3D reconstruction.2 A semiquantitative assessment of the size of PVL may be made by measurement of the ratio of total sewing ring circumference to the length of suture dehiscence (>10%: Mild, 10-20%: Moderate, >20%: Severe, >40%: Instability of the prosthetic valve).3

Conclusion
The TEE, especially if 3D volume rendering is used along with, provides a systematic method to accurately localize native and prosthetic mitral valve regurgitant lesions. Also, paravalvular leaks may be more easily delineated and quantified using 3D echo. Due to accurate localization of the defects, this modality helps to improve the preoperative assessment and decisions about patients with significant mitral regurgitation.
A Clinical Pilot Study to Evaluate the Efficacy of Sea Salt Based Oral Rinse in Gingivitis Patients
Authors: Anarthe Raju , Mani Shubhangi 
Published: July 2019

ABSTRACT

Aim
This pilot study was aimed to evaluate the efficacy of sea salt-based oral rinse as adjunct with conventional oral hygiene measures in gingivitis patients in terms of clinical parameters.

Materials and methods
A total 30 gingivitis patient between the ages of 18 and 55 years were enrolled in the study and divided under two categories. Clinical parameters were recorded prior to phase one therapy; and subjects were put on different oral hygiene regime with and without sea salt-based mouth rinse. At baseline and 3rd month subjects were evaluated.

Results
The results of this study showed that there was significant decrease in clinical parameters from baseline to 3 months in both the groups (p < 0.01). The subjects under groups using sea salt-based mouthwash showed a highly significant reduction to all the parameters as compared to subjects under groups using a conventional toothbrushing only.

Conclusion
Thus, we can conclude that long-term regular use of sea salt-based product seems to be more beneficial.

Abnormal Anatomical Location of Root of Second Premolar in Mental Foramen: A Very Rare Case
Authors: Khandelwal Pulkit , Dubey Shirish , Hajira Neha 
Published: July 2019

ABSTRACT
Mental foramen is a key factor in many of the surgical procedures. While carrying out surgical procedures in premolar region, the knowledge of anatomy of mental nerve and its foramen is of utmost importance to avoid intraoperative neurovascular damage and to avoid postoperative neurosensory disturbances. The variations of mental foramen with respect to position, size, and number are very well documented. However, in very rare cases, length of the premolar roots may be abnormally long or abnormally positioned, which can impinge on the mental nerve or may enter mandibular canal or mental foramen. We present one such rare case where second premolar root was impinging on the mental nerve and producing symptoms. Extraction of second premolar was done and patient became asymptomatic postoperatively.

Published: July 2019

ABSTRACT
The aim of the present study was to investigate the cleaning efficacy of four new single-use rotary nickel–titanium (NiTi) systems. A total of 48 single-rooted freshly extracted teeth were divided into four groups. Root canals were shaped with the single-use NiTi systems (ProTaper Next, F360, OneShape and F6 SkyTaper) using 5.25% NaOCl and 17% ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) solutions. Specimens were fractured longitudinally and prepared for scanning electron microscopic (SEM) analysis at standard magnification of 2,500?. The presence/absence of debris smear layer and smear layer at coronal, middle, and apical third of each canal were evaluated using a five-step scale for scores. Numeric data were analyzed using Kruskal–Wallis and Mann–Whitney U statistical tests and significance was predetermined at p< 0.05. Analysis of variance test showed no significant differences among the NiTi systems (p > 0.05). The same results were assessed considering the smear layer scores. Analysis of variance confirmed that the apical third of the canal maintained a higher quantity of debris and smear layer after preparation of all the samples. All the single-use rotary NiTi systems left dentinal walls generally free of debris, even if a small amount of smear layer is visible, especially in the apical third of the root canal. All tested single-use systems seem to be effective in removing smear layer from root canals, if irrigating protocols are respected.

Published: July 2019

ABSTRACTIntroductionIncreasing bone quality and quantity in the areas with insufficient bone volume is a major concern among scientists. Ideal bone substitute materials should have osteogenicity, osteoconductivity, and osteoinductivity. Clinoptilolite offers bovine deorganified crystalline bone materials, the advantage of being very similar to human bone with regard to its pore morphology and crystalline structure. This study evaluated the effect of adding Clinoptilolite to Bio-Oss on the osseous regeneration and bone healing process using serial dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA).Materials and methodsA total of 64 rabbits were anesthetized and a bone defect was created on both semi-mandibles. The rabbits were divided into four equal groups: A (Bio-Oss®); B (Bio-Oss® with 2% Clinoptilolite mixture); C (allograft); and D receiving no treatment. The bone healing response of animals was tested after 2, 14, 30, and 60 days.ResultsStatistical analysis showed significant differences at time intervals before 14 days between allograft and other groups (p < 0.05). In all the defects filled with the tested materials, bone formation was observed subjectively. At 30-and 60-day intervals, there were no significant differences between allograft and Bio-Oss with 2% Clinoptilolite group (p = 0.052 and p = 0.260 respectively) although it was significant in 2-and 14-day intervals.ConclusionClinoptilolite (2%) can be used to improve the osteoinduction property of bovine deorganified crystalline bone material. Clinoptilolite can be suggested as a potential material added to bone substitute materials due to its porous structure and buffering capacity and adsorption of a number of serum components which aids the osseous regeneration and healing process.How to cite this articleSaghiri MA, Orangi J, Tanideh N, Asatourian A, Garcia-Godoy F, Sheibani N.

Real-time Ultrasound-guided Axillary Vein Cannulation
Authors: Khatibi Bahareh , Sandhu Nav Parkash 
Published: July 2019

ABSTRACT
The axillary vein has been shown to be a safe and effective cannulation site for patients requiring central venous access. Compared to subclavian vein cannulation, axillary vein cannulation may reduce the rate of pneumothorax and hemothorax. Long-term complications, including the rate of infection or deep vein thrombosis, are comparable to internal jugular vein cannulation. The use of ultrasound for cannulation at traditional central vein sites, such as the internal jugular and femoral veins has been shown to aid in successful cannulation and potentially reduce complications. For axillary vein cannulation, however, when ultrasound is used only for localization of the axillary vein precannulation, it has not been shown to improve successful cannulation or decrease the rate of arterial puncture.
Real-time ultrasound-guided axillary vein cannulation has been described and may increase the rate of successful cannulation and decrease complications. Various techniques of real-time ultrasound-guided axillary vein cannulation have been studied over the past decade. They differ in various characteristics including technique for needle imaging (in-plane vs out-of-plane) and upper extremity positioning (neutral vs abducted). The in-plane technique, which images the axillary vein in longitudinal view and allows the needle to be visualized at all times, has been found to result in greater first-attempt success and easier overall placement than the transverse view technique. As for upper extremity positioning, 90° abduction may result a decreased risk of catheter misplacement after proximal axillary vein cannulation.
Ultrasound-guided axillary vein cannulation has many emerging uses, including use in oncology, cardiology, and nephrology.

Published: July 2019

ABSTRACTIntroductionThe prevalence of aggressive periodontitis (AP) has been extensively studied globally. Limited information is available on the AP prevalence in the Indian population. Hence, a survey was undertaken to give a more accurate prevalence of AP in the population visiting the outpatient Department of Periodontology, RajaRajeswari Dental College & Hospital, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India.Materials and methodsA total of 500 patients were screened to estimate the prevalence of AP. Thorough gingival examination, including bleeding on probing, was done to evaluate the gingival condition. The periodontal status was evaluated by assessment of clinical attachment level, probing pocket depth, and gingival recession. The subjects provisionally diagnosed with AP were referred to the Department of Radiology for further examination. The radiographic assessment involved full mouth intraoral periapical radiographs and panoramic radiographs.ResultsOut of the 500 patients screened, 8 cases (LAP-4, GAP-4) were found to be confirmed with the diagnosis of AP, giving a prevalence of 1.6%.ConclusionThe prevalence rate of AP in the screened population is 1.6%. The higher prevalence of AP in the present study can be attributed to the fact that the population studied is hospital based because of the convenience. The prevalence of AP is highly variable and controversial globally and needs a concerted and systemic approach if this is to be settled.How to cite this articleShivanand S, Singh N, Bilichodmath S.

Published: July 2019

ABSTRACT

Aims and objectives
To understand the benefits of dexamethasone and compare the effects of submucosal vs intramuscular (IM) administration of dexamethasone in reducing postoperative sequelae following impacted mandibular third molar surgery.

Materials and methods
The study was conducted on 90 patients, who were divided into three groups of 30 each. The two experimental groups were given dexamethasone 4 mg submucosally or intramuscularly (preoperatively), and the control group did not receive any form of corticosteroid. Measurements of facial swelling and maximal interincisal distance were made preoperatively and on the 1st, 3rd, and 7th postoperative days. Pain was evaluated from patients' response to visual analog scale and recording the number of rescue analgesic tablets taken at the end of the 7th postoperative day.

Results
Both dexamethasone groups showed a significant reduction in pain, swelling, and trismus as compared with the control group at all intervals. There was a statistically significant reduction in magnitude of swelling in the submucosal dexamethasone group as compared with the IM dexamethasone group on the 1st postoperative day, but there was no significant difference among two experimental groups at other times and their effects were comparable for all variables.

Conclusion
Dexamethasone 4 mg is an effective therapeutic strategy for reducing postoperative sequelae following surgical removal of impacted third molars and submucosal dexamethasone is an effective alternative to dexamethasone given systemically.

Neste artigo apresentamos reflexões sobre dificuldades reveladas por alunos do 5º ano do Ensino Fundamental em cálculos que envolvem as operações de adição, subtração, multiplicação e divisão. Essas dificuldades foram identificadas por meio da análise dos erros dos alunos na resolução de atividades (envolvendo contas e problemas) que foram analisadas à luz dos campos conceituais de Gérard Vergnaud. As resoluções dos alunos revelam que há erros procedimentais e conceituais oriundos de teoremas ou conceitos em ato utilizados na resolução. E que existem erros que comprometem a compreensão de elementos estruturantes do pensamento matemático e que repercutem na dificuldade em resolver os algoritmos convencionais. Esses resultados revelam que a aprendizagem matemática apresentada por alunos ao final dos anos iniciais é frágil e preocupante exigindo ações voltadas para a aprendizagem de conceitos e teoremas presentes na estrutura do sistema de numeração e nas operações.

Vagrants in words, actions and images
Vagabonds, mainly relating to beggars and vagrants, have occupied the Western European social and criminal landscape by the ages. In this contribution some long term patterns – from the Middle Ages onwards – are investigated. The central questions are a) What is the place vagabonds occupied in society? and b) How was dealt with them in the past centuries? In order to answer these questions the perception of and the distinction between true and false beggars and vagrants are included. In addition to penal and criminological sources also those from the visual arts (history) are applied. Answering these questions shows a process of increasing institutionalization seeing a pattern of social exclusion to institutional confinement. An important role in the institutionalization is reserved for the interference of criminal law.

Directe actie als de verzekerde rechtspersoon niet meer bestaat: uitzondering op meldingsplicht geldt volgens de Hoge Raad voor alle schades. HR 1 februari 2019, ECLI:NL:HR:2019:150
Op 1 februari 2019 heeft de Hoge Raad de reikwijdte van de uitzondering op het meldingsvereiste voor een beroep op de directe actie van artikel 7:954 BW verduidelijkt. Volgens lid 2 van artikel 7:954 BW is voor een beroep op de directe actie niet nodig dat de schade door de aansprakelijke verzekerde aan de aansprakelijkheidsverzekeraar is gemeld, als de verzekerde een rechtspersoon was die heeft opgehouden te bestaan. In alle andere gevallen kan de directe actie alleen worden uitgeoefend als de schade door de verzekeringnemer of verzekerde wél is gemeld bij de aansprakelijkheidsverzekeraar. In het onderhavige arrest stond ter discussie of dit voor alle schades geldt of alleen voor de zogenaamde long tail-schades: schades die zich pas (na lange tijd) manifesteren nadat een rechtspersoon heeft opgehouden te bestaan.

An evaluation of the effectiveness of the Dutch temporary restraining order act
On 1 January 2009, the Dutch Temporary Restraining Order Act (Wth) entered into force. This act allows mayors to impose a ten-day restraining order (which may be extended to 28 days) on (potential) perpetrators of domestic violence, which prohibits these perpetrators from entering their own house and contacting their partner and/or children. During the restraining order everyone involved (evicted persons, those who stay behind and children) is offered a range of support and intervention measures. The law requires that within five years after its entry into force the Dutch parliament is informed of the effectiveness. To this end, a study was conducted between September 2011 and August 2013. The aim of this impact assessment is to gain insight in the effectiveness of the restraining order and the support services that are connected to it. The study was designed as a quasi-experimental study with an intervention group (restraining orders) and a control group (similar situations in which no restraining order was imposed). The study shows that the restraining order is associated with less incidence of new domestic violence. After imposing a restraining order new domestic violence occurs less frequently, and in case it does occur, fewer incidents occur than in (comparable) situations where no restraining order was imposed. The main explanation for the correlation found between the restraining order and the lower incidence of new domestic violence seems to lie in the support that is offered after the imposition of a restraining order. Moreover, the support seems to be more effective in the more serious cases than in the lighter cases. The degree in which antecedents of the evicted person are present and whether or not the evicted person is criminally prosecuted are not related to a lower degree of repeated domestic violence.
THE IMPLEMENTATION OF BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE MODELS FOR LIQUIDITY MANAGEMENT IN SMALL AND MEDIUM ENTERPRISES (SMEs) - EVIDENCES FROM ALBANIAN TRADE SECTOR
Authors: Todri Ardita , Scalera Francesco 
Published: July 2019

This research implements business intelligence models through structured qualitative and quantitative data to predict liquidity management process in short-run by recognizing the relevance of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) organizational behavioral patterns operating in Albanian trade sector. Thus, in a sample of 33 trading SMEs there is contemporary predicted the volatility of working capital, receivables accounts turnover ratio, money conversion cycle and net profit margin at 95% confidence level through a radial basis function by examining some liquidity, operational efficiency, risk and growth ratios. The results demonstrate that for an efficient liquidity management process it should be taken in consideration the operative efficiency and risk areas, then, equity origin, firm size, collateral value as well as borrowers’ status in interaction with organizational behavioral patterns in order to ensure profitability enhancement. Thereby it can be traced the approach how these kinds of businesses survive, grow-up and mature by ensuring performance goals.

Published: July 2019

Despite being classified as critically endangered, little work has been done on leopard protection in Pakistan. Once widely present throughout this region, leopards are now sparsely distributed, and possibly extinct from much of their previously recorded habitat. While leopards show morphological and genetic variation across their species range worldwide, resulting in the classification of nine different subspecies, the leopard genetic structure across Pakistan is unknown, with previous studies including only a very limited sampling. To clarify the genetic status of leopards in Pakistan we investigated the sequence variation in the subunit 5 of the mitochondrial gene NADH from 43 tissue samples and compared it with 238 sequences available from online databases. Phylogenetic analysis clearly separates the Pakistani leopards from the African and Arabian clades, confirming that leopards from Pakistan are members of the Asian clade. Furthermore, we identified two separate subspecies haplotypes within our dataset: P. p. fusca (N = 23) and P. p. saxicolor (N = 12).
