single session in a tooth with chronic apical periodontitis. A 49-year-old patient reported during anamnesis pain during mastication and vertical percussion in the left mandibular first molar (36). Radiographically, the presence of obturator material below the appropriate apical limit (underfilling) and diffuse periapical bone radiotransparency were observed, suggesting a diagnosis of chronic periapical abscess. Root canal retreatment was proposed for the patient, and informed consent was obtained before the start of treatment. After anesthesia, coronary opening was performed and an appropriate form of convenience was performed. Gutta percha was removed with the Reciproc #R25 system. Foraminal electronic odontometry was performed with the Root Zx Mini Apex Locator (J. Morita Corp., USA). The irrigating substance used was 2.5% sodium hypochlorite. The filling of the root canal system was performed by the R#40 single cone technique and vertical condensation, associated with SealerPlus cement. Clinical and radiographic preservation performed 3 years after root canal filling determined the success of conservative endodontic retreatment, since the patient was asymptomatic and the radiographic examination demonstrated complete repair of the periapical lesion. It is concluded that endodontic retreatment in a single session determined the success of conservative endodontic therapy.

Objetivo: Analisar as dermatoses na gestação. Revisão Bibliográfica:A gravidez é um estado fisiológico complexo que promove diversas alterações no corpo da mulher, tais como modificações imunológicas, metabólicas, hormonais e vasculares.É possível observar, no período gestacional, dermatoses que podem aparecer ou agravar por conta das diversas transformações resultantes desse período. As dermatoses essencialmente associadas à gravidez (DEG) englobam um grupo de doenças que surgem no período gravídico ou no pós parto. Já outras dermatoses podem ser afetadas diretamente pela gravidez, melhorando, tendo um comportamento imprevisível, mas, geralmente, acabam exacerbando essa patologia pré - existente. Considerações finais: Destaca-se que as doenças dermatológicas próprias da gestação podem estar restritas à pele e mucosas, ou expressar um comprometimento sistêmico, como o prurido gravídico, em decorrência da colestase. As doenças imunológicas representam um problema na gestação, pela possibilidade do seu agravamento ou pela necessidade de escolha adequada das drogas utilizadas.
Konsep Askesis Menurut Rasul Paulus Dalam I Korintus 9:24-27 Dan Implikasinya Bagi Orang Percaya Masa Kini
Authors: Djabu Risno Djabu , Elsa  
Published: October 2024

Kurangnya disiplin rohani dalam Gereja yang membuat pertumbuhan kerohanian jemaat makin berkurang. Gereja harus memfokuskan perhatian jemaat kepada Allah ketimbang kepada hal-hal yang duniawi. Gereja perlu menerapkan askesis. Askesis adalah sebuah tindakan disiplin rohani untuk mendewasakan manusia rohania. Askesis merupakan pelatihan untuk melawan hawa nafsu, dosa, dan berbagai tipuan iblis. Askesis harus di lakukan oleh semua orang percaya dengan meneladani apa yang Yesus Kristus lakukan. Askesis yang disampaikan Rasul Paulus merupakan pemurnian jiwa atau memperbaharui batin yakni pikiran atau akal Budi. Mengingat akan Allah, mengagumi ciptaan Allah, merenungkan Kasih Kristus dan mengasihi sesama merupakan latihan-latihan rohani untuk menumbuhkan manusia rohani supaya makin serupa dengan Kristus. Adapun dasar dan motivasi melakukan askesis adalah hati yang benar-benar mengasihi Allah. Sebagaimana Kristus telah taat kepada Allah sepenuhnya, demikian juga orang percaya yang melakukan askesis dengan mengikuti apa yang telah Kristus kerjakan. Tujuan penulisan jurnal ini memberikan implikasi bagi gereja dan jemaat. Gereja harus menerapkan askesis dalam kehidupan jemaat. Dengan demikian, jemaat akan memiliki pemahaman yang tepat tentang kehidupan askesis dan berjuang untuk menerapkannya dalam kehidupan spiritual setiap hari yakni kehidupan nyata, baik itu bagi kaum awam, dan pelayan Tuhan itu sendiri dengan berpegang dan berharap kepada tuntunan dan penyertaan Roh Kudus.
Kata Kunci: Askesis (disiplin rohani)

Theory of Dispersion and Attenuation of Light Wave Propagation in Fiber-Optic Cables
Authors: K. Bose Sujit 
Published: October 2024

A fiber-optic cable consists of one or more optical fibers having slightly less refractive index for guiding the light wave. The central core of a fiber is either optically homogeneous or rendered inhomogeneous by technical processing for greater efficiency in transmission. The theory of dispersion of light waves through such types of fibers is presented here, based on the Maxwell equations by representing the EM field by the single Hertz vector Π instead of the electric and magnetic intensities E and H. The study of the phenomenon is presented in three parts. At first, a straight step-index fiber with homogeneous core and cladding is considered, showing considerable dispersion of propagating waves leading to formation of wave groups that might even burst. The effect of small bending of a cable line is analyzed next, and it is shown that attenuation proportional to the magnitude of curvature takes place in the propagation process. Finally, inhomogeneity of the fiber core is treated, obtaining a modified wave equation for Π, solving it for the parabolic index core of some degree α. Numerical study for the case α = 2, showed marked reduction in dispersion. The method is then generalised to a general index core and applied to a non-smooth profile of NZDSF type showing propagation without dispersion.

Published: October 2024

Martensitic stainless steels (MSS) have extensive industrial applicability owing to their high hardness and resistance to wear and corrosion at milder temperatures. AISI 410L is a low-carbon MSS with better processability than the high carbon-content MSS grades. Additive manufacturing by laser directed energy deposition (AM L-DED) grants the benefits of geometry freedom, complex materials processability, and obtention of refined microstructures. Nonetheless, there are challenges because of the L-DED complex thermal history and brittle nature of martensite formed in MSS. Therefore, post heat-treatment are required to provide residual stress relief, martensite tempering, and overall mechanical properties enhancement. To synthesize the current knowledge on the factors affecting the mechanical properties of AISI 410L MSS processed by L-DED, while expanding the investigation on suitable heat-treatment routes, this work complies with original data and literature results to discuss how different carbon contents, building orientations, heat-treatments, and cladding procedures affect the microstructure, hardness, tensile, and Charpy impact mechanical properties of different MSS, in special AISI 410L, processed by L-DED.

Authors: Khurana Ananta , Sharath Savitha , Sardana Kabir 
Published: October 2024

Introduction: Methotrexate (MTX) acts by suppressing multiple immune pathways involved in the pathogenesis of lichen planus (LP). Trials assessing the efficacy and relapse rates of methotrexate in LP are lacking. Objectives: Our objective was to analyze the efficacy and safety of low-dose methotrexate in generalized and recalcitrant LP patients retrospectively and assess the relapse rates in patients after stopping MTX therapy. Methods: We analyzed clinical and therapeutic details of patients of LP treated with low-dose MTX at our center. The cumulative dose and duration of MTX was calculated and the time to achieve disease control was noted. We analyzed duration of remission and time after which recurrences were seen post-treatment. Results: A total of 42 generalized and recalcitrant LP patients treated with low-dose MTX were analyzed. A starting dose of MTX was 7.5 mg (n=7) or 10 mg (n= 35) once weekly and was increased to 10/15 mg weekly in patients with inadequate response. Ten patients were lost to follow-up. Complete resolution was achieved in 30/32 (93%) patients within a mean duration of 14.76 weeks (4-32 weeks), and the cumulative dose of MTX to achieve remission was 153.58 mg (50-375 mg). Only minor side effects were noted in 12/32 (37.5%) patients, and none required treatment discontinuation. The mean duration of remission was 29.43 months (5-60 months). Conclusion: MTX demonstrated high efficacy and a good safety profile in extensive cutaneous LP and may be a safer alternative to steroids for the condition.

МЕТАЛЕВІ НАНОЧАСТИНКИ ТА АНТИБІОТИКИ: ВАЛОРИЗАЦІЯ СИНЕРГЕТИЧНОЇ ВЗАЄМОДІЇ ТА ПЕРСПЕКТИВИ ВИКОРИСТАННЯ
Authors: Хрокало Людмила , Сулима Дар’я 
Published: October 2024

Антибіотикорезистентність стала глобальною проблемою, що виникла внаслідок еволюційних механізмів адаптації мікроорганізмів. У зв'язку з цим постійно виникає необхідність пошуку новітніх рішень, таких як розробка нових препаратів або встановлення синергетичних взаємодій.
Мета досліжень: критичний аналіз сучасних публікацій у напрямку антимікробної дії наночастинок металів, випробовування їхньої активності у комбінаціях з антибіотиками різних класів і, як наслідок, оцінка синергетичної взаємодії.
Методологія. Розглянуто антибактеріальний механізм дії наночастинок різних металів та їх оксидів, біомедичне застосування, потенційну токсичність та методи одержання. Проаналізовано і систематизовано сучасні класи антибіотиків, включаючи як загальновживані, так і вузькоспеціалізовані групи, зокрема такі, що одержані методами генної інженерії. Розглянуто особливості будови молекул діючих речовин антибіотиків з функціональними групами атомів, які забезпечують механізми їх антибактеріальної дії. Проаналізовано інноваційні підходи до синтезу систем «антибіотик–металева НЧ» і виділено чотири основні способи одержання таких комплексів.
Наукова новизна. Проаналізовано робочі гіпотези щодо пояснення механізму синергетичної взаємодії НЧ та антибіотиків різних класів. Показано, що синергетичний ефект виникає за рахунок збільшення проникності клітинних стінок і мембран, підвищеної локальної концентрації іонів металів у цитоплазмі та сполучення комплексів «антибіотик-металева НЧ» з нуклеїновими кислотами бактерій.
Висновки. Одержані результати мають перспективу застосування в клінічній практиці для розвитку нових методів терапії та боротьби з антибіотикорезистентністю. Сформульовано висновки щодо вимог до створення комплексних лікарських засобів «антибіотик–металева НЧ». Очікується, що встановлений синергізм призведе до зниження ефективних доз, а отже, зменшення токсичності, і небажаних побічних ефектів іноваційного комплексу.

Quasilinear biharmonic equations on R^4 with exponential subcritical growth
Authors: Souza Filho Antonio de Padua Farias de 
Published: October 2024

This article studies the fourth-order equation $$\displaylines{ \Delta^2 u-\Delta u+V(x) u-\frac{1}{2} u \Delta(u^2)=f(x, u) \quad \text{in } \mathbb{R}^4, \cr u \in H^2(\mathbb{R}^4), }$$ where \(\Delta^2 :=\Delta(\Delta)\) is the biharmonic operator, \(V\in C(R^4,\mathbb{R})\) and \(f\in C(R^4\times R,R)\) are allowed to be sign-changing. With some assumptions on \(V\) and \(f\) we prove existence and multiplicity of nontrivial solutions in \(H^2(\mathbb{R}^4)\), obtained via variational methods. Three main theorems are proved, the first two assuming that \(V\) is coercive to obtain compactness, and the third one requires only that \(V\) be bounded. We work carefully with the sub-criticality of \(f\) to get a (PS) condition for a related equation.

Published: October 2024

Objective: To determine contributory factors leading to biochemical change in selected children suffering from NutritionalRickets (NR) at Hyderabad.Methodology: This comparative study was conducted from August 2022 to May 2023. Medically diagnosed rachitic children were selected from outpatient department of Liaquat University Hospital Hyderabad. Interviews of patients as well as parents / guardians were conducted through a standard questionnaire. Blood samples were also collected for analysis of Calcium, Vitamin D, Alkaline Phosphatase, Hemoglobin and Phosphorous.Results: Findings revealed that mostly girls were affected by this disease. Income of parents/ guardians of affected children was Rs. 20,000-Rs. 30,000, consequently balanced diet was not available due to limited income. 53% of children have been dwelling in open houses yet have been suffering from deficiency of vitamin D. Biochemical parameters of NR & control show that mean & standard deviation and p value of Calcium (p-0.004), Vitamin D (p-0.001), Phosphorus (p-0.003) and hemoglobin (p-0.001) have been low and alkaline phosphatase (p-0.002) have been statistical significantly higher than the control group.Conclusion: Nutritional rickets is a multi-factorial health problem caused by malnutrition of children at early age of life coupled with inadequate mother feeding and other factors i.e. genetics, lack of care etc. Children are our future and we should pay attention to their bone health. National campaign aimed to develop awareness on consequences of risks of low level of Calcium and vitamin D is suggested.
