Shaping the Global Future: The Strategic Influence of the Emerging Global South in the New International Order (2022)
Authors: Prabhakar Akhilesh Chandra 
Published: November 2024

The reconfiguration of the international order in 2022 signifies a pronounced shift in global power dynamics, with the ascendant Global South increasingly asserting itself as a transformative force in redefining governance structures and economic paradigms. This study interrogates the pivotal role of emerging economies across Africa, Asia, and Latin America in contesting the entrenched hegemony of the Global North. It foregrounds the expanding influence of multilateral coalitions such as BRICS, the G20, and various regional alignments, which collectively champion a more equitable and multipolar global order. Central to this inquiry is an examination of how these states strategically deploy economic cooperation, South-South trade, and alternative financial architectures to assert their geopolitical agency on the international stage. Furthermore, the analysis delves into the nuanced geopolitical manoeuvres these nations employ to navigate an increasingly complex global landscape marked by intensified great power rivalry, economic volatility, and emergent security challenges. Through a rigorous examination of case studies, this research posits that the Global South is transitioning from a reactive posture to a proactive role in forging a new international paradigm centred on inclusivity, sustainability, and diversified leadership. The findings suggest that the collective ascendancy of these nations heralds a pivotal transformation in global relations, with far-reaching consequences for the trajectory of global governance.

Authors: Khalajinia Zohre , Falahieh Fatemeh Mohanazadeh , Aghaali Mohammad 
Published: November 2024

Background:
Chamomile and flaxseed are traditionally used medicinal plants to treat painful menstruation. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effects of chamomile and flaxseed on pelvic pain, dyspareunia, and dysmenorrhea in endometriosis patients.

Materials and Methods:
A controlled randomized clinical trial was conducted on 102 endometriosis patients referred to Reyhane Infertility Center of Qom University of Medical Sciences, Iran, from July 2021 to March 2022. Patients were divided into three groups: chamomile, flaxseed, and placebo, using the block randomization method. Patients used 1000 mg capsules (three times a day) for 8 weeks. A Visual Analog Scale (VAS) was used to measure the severity of pain. Pelvic pain, dyspareunia, and dysmenorrhea were assessed on three occasions Data were analyzed using the Chi-square, repeated measures ANCOVA, and ANOVA. All statistical analysis was performed using SPSS version 20.

Results:
Before the intervention, there was no significant difference between the three groups regarding dysmenorrhea, pelvic pain, or dyspareunia (p > 0.05). The mean score of pelvic pain (on one and two-month follow-ups) in the chamomile and flaxseed groups (F = 383.07, p < 0.001) was lower than that in the placebo group. The mean score of dyspareunia (on one and two-month follow-ups) in the chamomile and flaxseed groups was significantly lower than that in the placebo group (F2 = 479.34, p < 0.001). The mean score of dysmenorrhea on one and two-month follow-ups (F2 = 385.67, p < 0.001) in the chamomile and flaxseed groups was lower than that in the placebo group.

Conclusions:
Chamomile and flaxseed may reduce pelvic pain, dyspareunia, and dysmenorrhea associated with endometriosis.

Authors: Arani Reyhane Hizomi , Naji Zohrehsadat , Moradi Ali , Pooreh Shohreh , Merati Yosra , Shariat Seyed Vahid , Salamati Payman 
Published: November 2024

Background:
Empathy is considered paramount to the medical profession because it affects patients’ satisfaction, compliance, and quality of care. It has been studied that medical residents in non-psychiatry specialties (especially general surgery) pay less attention to their patients’ experiences and emotions. This study measured and compared surgical and psychiatric medical residents’ empathy scores.

Materials and Methods:
In 2021, we studied all first- to third-year medical residents of psychiatry and general surgery who worked in hospitals affiliated with the Iran University of Medical Sciences (IUMS), Tehran, Iran. Eighty-eight eligible residents, including 53 psychiatric and 35 surgical residents, were enrolled in this cross-sectional study. The Persian-validated Jefferson empathy scale was used to evaluate empathy among the residents. Chi-square, t-test, and ANOVA were used for group comparisons. A multivariable linear regression analysis was used to find the factors associated with the empathy score. Data analysis was conducted using the SPSS version 21.

Results:
The total mean score (SD) of empathy was 104.34 (11.10). Female residents had higher mean (SD) empathy scores compared to their male counterparts (109.21 [9.29] vs. 99.14 [12.72]; p < 0.001), and psychiatric residents scored higher than surgical residents (109.18 [8.91] vs. 96.67 [12.50]; p < 0.001). Psychiatric residency was independently associated with a higher empathy score (standardized coefficients; beta = 0.41, p = 0.001).

Conclusions:
Psychiatric residents have significantly higher empathy with patients than surgical residents. There was also a significant difference among male and female residents. Therefore, it may be recommended that structural education directions be developed for residents to promote empathy during the residency program.

Authors: Moradi Mohammad , de Souza Nogueira Lilia , Hanifi Nasrin 
Published: November 2024

Background:
Measuring nurses’ workload and related factors in intensive care units and reviewing their staffing is very important during COVID-19. This study aims to compare nurses’ workload and multiple organ failure of patients hospitalized during the COVID-19 in intensive care units and non–COVID-19 intensive care units.

Materials and Methods:
An observational study was conducted with 768 patients hospitalized in intensive care units and Zanjan City (Iran) intensive care units in 2021. The data were collected using the Nursing Activities Score and the Sequential Organ Failure Assessment. Data analysis was performed by independent t-test, Chi-squared (χ2) test, Pearson’s correlation coefficient (r), and Multiple Linear Regression (MLR). The statistical significance level was set at p < 0.05.

Results:
NAS in non–COVID-19 intensive care units 59.90% (10.03) was significantly higher than that of COVID-19 intensive care units 56.38% (6.67) (p < 0.001). In addition, the SOFA score was higher in the non–COVID-19 intensive care units 6.98 (3.89) than in COVID-19 intensive care units 5.62 (3.98) (p < 0.001). The Nursing Activities Score had a positive and statistically significant relationship with the Sequential Organ Failure Assessment in both units, and this relationship was higher in the COVID-19 intensive care units (r = 0.71). In addition, predictors of NAS were identified as four variables, i.e. consciousness level, SOFA, length of stay, and having an artificial airway (p < 0.05).

Conclusions:
Non–COVID-19 ICUs had higher NAS and SOFA scores in the study. Further investigation is needed to identify additional workload aspects in intensive care units.
Blood flow restriction therapy to restore quadriceps wasting persistent after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction
Authors: Jain Hemant , Agarwal Shubham , Raichandani Kishore , Vaishy Arun 
Published: November 2024

INTRODUCTION:
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is the most commonly injured ligament in the knee that requires surgical intervention. After ACL reconstruction, it has been reported that quadriceps wasting can persist for years even after complete rehabilitation and aggressive physiotherapy. Blood flow restriction (BFR) therapy is proposed to induce muscle growth and improve strength in chronic muscle atrophy. But the data on the efficacy of BFR therapy are controversial and lacking in the existing literature.

AIMS/OBJECTIVES:
In this study, we focus on identifying the patients having chronic quadriceps wasting after ACL reconstruction and intervene to restore the quadriceps wasting using BFR therapy.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:
All the participants had unilateral reconstruction of ACL tear >1 year back and completed the standard postoperative rehabilitation protocol but had >10% of difference in quadriceps thickness in the involved limb as compared to contra-lateral limb measured by ultrasonography. They were then proceeded further with BFR therapy and were re-examined after 6 weeks of BFR therapy.

RESULTS:
It was observed that 64% of the participants had persistent quadriceps muscle atrophy even after 1 year of completing standard post-rehabilitation protocol after ACL reconstruction with more than 10% deficit. The quadriceps thickness observed after the BFR therapy increased by 10 ± 7% at one-third of femur length from knee joint and 16.6 ± 4% at two-thirds of femur length in the involved extremity but did not show any change in uninvolved extremity. Post-training quadriceps femoris symmetry index also increased in the involved extremity compared to the baseline (87 ± 5% pre-procedure to 96 ± 4% post-procedure, P <0.01).

CONCLUSION:
This study concludes that BFR therapy after knee surgery may be a viable modality for the treatment of residual atrophy of quadriceps after years of ACLR. This can be used in patients who require extra assistance in resisting muscle atrophy or building muscle strength.
Effect of Omega-3 Fatty Acid Supplementation on Periodontal Inflammation and Pocket Depth Reduction
Authors: Ali E M Arshad , Dodani Kiran , Rajpoot Ankur Singh , Goswami Pallavi , Choubey Varsha , Gupta Aanchal 
Published: November 2024

ABSTRACT

Background:
Chronic inflammation of the tooth’s supporting tissues is known as periodontal disease. It causes pockets to develop, attachments to break, and eventually the loss of teeth. Because of their well-known anti-inflammatory qualities, omega-3 fatty acids have been recommended as an additional therapy for periodontal inflammation.

Materials and Methods:
A randomized controlled study of 60 individuals suffering from persistent periodontitis was carried out. Two groups of participants were randomly assigned: The test group (n = 30) got conventional periodontal treatment with omega-3 fatty acid supplementation (1000 mg/day), while the control group (n = 30) received normal periodontal therapy alone. Measurements of periodontal parameters were made at baseline, 3 months, and 6 months after therapy, including bleeding on probing (BOP) and pocket depth. Paired t-tests and analysis of variance were used in the statistical analysis to determine the significance of the group differences.

Results:
Participants in the test group showed a greater reduction in probing pocket depth (PPD) and BOP at both 3 and 6 months. Specifically, the mean PPD decreased from 5.4 ± 0.7 mm to 3.0 ± 0.4 mm, and BOP reduced from 71.2 ± 14.5% to 28.3 ± 9.2% in the test group, with both outcomes showing statistically significant differences compared to the control group (P < 0.01).

Conclusion:
In individuals with chronic periodontitis, omega-3 fatty acid supplementation dramatically improves the decrease of periodontal pocket depth and inflammation when administered as an adjuvant to regular periodontal treatment.
Long-Term Outcomes of Vital Pulp Therapy in Deep Carious Lesions Using Bioceramic Materials
Authors: Alhusainy Abdulmageed 
Published: November 2024

ABSTRACT

Background:
Vital pulp treatment (VPT) is an essential clinical intervention used to maintain the integrity of the tooth pulp in situations with severe carious lesions. Due to their bioactivity, sealing ability, and compatibility with pulp tissues, bioceramic materials have attracted considerable interest.

Materials and Methods:
This research included a sample of 100 individuals who had acquired deep carious lesions. The participants were randomly allocated into two groups: Group A (n = 50) had ventral prosthetic treatment (VPT) using a bioceramic material, whereas Group B (n = 50) underwent VPT with a traditional calcium hydroxide-based material. Initial, 6 months, 12 months, and 24 months after treatment, clinical and radiographic assessments were conducted. The main outcome measures consisted of dental pulp vitality, lack of discomfort, and radiographic evidence of the development of a hard tissue barrier.

Results:
By the 24-month follow-up, 92% of the teeth in Group A, which used bioceramic material, retained their pulp vitality, but just 80% of the teeth in Group B, which used calcium hydroxide, did the same. Significantly reduced rates of postoperative discomfort were seen in Group A (10%) compared to Group B (25%). The radiographic examination revealed that 88% of patients in Group A displayed effective creation of a hard tissue barrier, whereas only 72% of cases in Group B exhibited comparable results.

Conclusion:
The research verifies that bioceramic materials provide better long-term results in vital pulp treatment for severe carious lesions as compared to traditional materials based on calcium hydroxide.

ABSTRACT

Aim:
This study was conducted to analyze the effects of sealants and resin infiltrant on pre-cavitated lesions in primary teeth (AAS) using an atomic absorption spectrophotometer.

Material and Method:
Forty freshly extracted intact human primary molars were used for the study. All the specimens were then divided into four groups of ten specimens. These groups are treated differently. The specimens were stored in artificial saliva throughout the study. The AAS was then used to assess the calcium dissolution of artificial saliva.

Result:
A comparison of Group III and Group IV established a statistically significant difference found in the amount of calcium dissolution in artificial saliva. Group III showed lesser calcium dissolution from enamel compared to Group IV in artificial saliva.

Conclusion:
Resin infiltration showed more resistance to the release of calcium from enamel as compared to Clinpro Sealant in artificial saliva.

Published: November 2024

ABSTRACT

Objectives:
Evaluation of effectiveness of bioactive glass, self-assembling peptide (P11-4), and arginine bicarbonate remineralizing agents on simulated carious lesion.

Material and Methods:
This research was conducted using 40 human premolar teeth that had just been removed. Remineralization of demineralized teeth was carried out three times a day for 14 days for 5 minutes using the appropriate remineralizing agents (Group A: calcium sodium phosphosilicate (bioactive glass), Group B: self-assembling peptide (P11-4), Group C: arginine bicarbonate remineralizing agents, and control group: Group D: deionized water). Using the Vickers hardness number, the degree of demineralization and remineralization was assessed.

Results:
In every group, there was a drop in microhardness from the baseline to demineralization. In all three test groups, the shift in microhardness values from demineralization to remineralization was shown to be statistically significant.

Conclusion:
Higher remineralizing capacity was found in bioactive glass and self-assembling peptide (P11-4), which can be employed therapeutically to treat early carious lesions.
