Raison (philosophique) et foi (biblique)
Authors: Guibal Francis 
Published: July 2019

La (post)modernité mondialisée que nous vivons invite à étendre l’ aggiornamento de Vatican II à la question traditionnelle des rapports entre foi et raison. Les assurances métaphysiques font place aujourd’hui à une rationalité plus souple et plus ouverte, critique et herméneutique, cependant que les Écritures bibliques renvoient moins à un savoir doctrinal qu’à la transmission d’expérience(s) historique(s) et spirituelle(s). Aussi est-il possible d’envisager une reconnaissance sans confusion entre l’homme de foi (biblique) et l’homme de raison (philosophique), chacun recueillant à sa manière les apports qui lui viennent de l’autre. Il est d’ailleurs permis de se demander si cette provocation mutuelle ne pourrait pas finalement déborder les limites du cadre européen pour s’étendre aux débats interculturels de notre monde
Leadership Behavior and Organizational Characteristics: Implications for Faculty Satisfaction
Authors: Kennerly Susan M 
Published: July 2019

ABSTRACT
The purpose of this investigation was to examine the relationships among administrative leadership behaviors, organizational characteristics, and faculty job satisfaction in baccalaureate nursing programs of private colleges. A two-part survey technique included 1) the collection of organizational data from the dean/chair of each nursing program, and 2) the rating of leadership behavior of the dean/chair and faculty job satisfaction by nurse faculty. Fifty-three percent of eligible programs and 77% of nurse faculty participated in the study. The findings indicated that the leadership behaviors of consideration and initiating structure were positively related to nurse faculty job satisfaction. The number of nurse faculty and the number of students in the college were identified as variables moderating the relationship between leadership behavior and job satisfaction. The emergence of a unique pattern of high consideration and high initiating structure leadership behaviors provides a basis for reexamining alternatives to promote the overall job satisfaction of nurse faculty.
Medication Adherence: A Review and Lessons for Developing Countries
Authors: Omotosho Adebayo , Ayegba Peace 
Published: July 2019

Most of the time, complete adherence to prescribed medication is a big step towards recovery from either chronic or acute diseases, but patients often are unaware of the adverse effects that could arise from inconsistency in adherence. The inability of patients to adhere to prescription can affect the potency of some effective therapies known to treat many conditions, and passive compliance may result in the development of resistant to drug causing a need for treatment modification. Shockingly, more than half of the drugs prescribed for patients with chronic conditions like diabetes and hypertension were found not to be taken as recommended. Adherence is so important because it can assist clinicians in successful supervision of evidence-based treatment of patients; therefore this paper presents an overview of medication adherence, non-technology and technology-based approaches, and lessons for developing countries.
The Impact of AuSn Preforms Thickness on Solder Joint Reliability
Authors: Leavitt Bernard 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
A hurdle that prevents widespread use of semiconductor lasers is that their performance is negatively impacted by thermal management. New products like stack layer diodes have a large number of lasers that work all at once in the condense area. When semiconductor laser dies' operational heat increases, the power of the laser decreases. A technique that is helping users overcome this hurdle is the application of a thinner 80Au20Sn solder joint for the die-attach to aid in thermal transfer to copper heat sinks.
The paper looks at a variety of different preform thicknesses, ranging from 0.0002″ to 0.0015″, and it also reviews voiding percentages. Our study tested shear strength and looked at how preform thickness impacts joint integrity. Further, we took a more in-depth look at the intermetallic thickness on ultra-thin preforms and observed how it affected the solder joint strength. Finally, we looked at other factors like surface tension and at what thickness preform this starts to impact voiding and performance.
The paper will help engineers gain insight into what preform thickness will be the optimal choice for laser diode applications as well as other die-attach applications.
Influence of hepatocyte growth factor-transfected bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells towards renal fibrosis in rats
Authors: Xie Mingbu , Wan Jianxin , Zhang Fengxia , Zhang Ruifang , Zhou Zhenhuan , You Danyou 
Published: July 2019

Background & objectives:
Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) produced by endothelial cells, fibroblasts, fat cells and other interstitial cells, can promote angiogenesis, repair damaged tissues and resist fibrosis. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are located in bone marrow and secrete a variety of cytokines and are often used in the repair and regeneration of damaged tissues. This study was aimed to investigate the influence of HGF-transfected bone marrow-derived MSCs towards renal fibrosis in rats.

Methods:
The HGF gene-carrying adenoviral vector (Ad-HGF) was transfected into MSCs, and the Ad-HGF-modified MSCs were transplanted into rats with unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO). The localization of renal transplanted cells in the frozen section was observed with fluorescence microscope. The Masson's trichrome staining was performed to observe the renal collagen deposition, and the immunohistochemistry was performed to detect the expressions of α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) and HGF in renal tissues. Reverse transcription (RT)-PCR was used to detect the mRNA expressions of α-SMA, HGF and fibronectin (FN).

Results:
Ad-HGF-modified MSCs could highly express HGF in vitro. On the post-transplantation 3rd, 7th and 14th day, the 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAP)-labelled transplanted cells were seen inside renal tissues. Compared with UUO group, the renal collagen deposition in transplantation group was significantly reduced, and the expressions of α-SMA mRNA and protein were significantly decreased, while the expressions of HGF mRNA and protein were significantly increased, and the expression of FN mRNA was significantly decreased (P<0.001).

Interpretation & conclusions:
Trans-renal artery injection of HGF-modified MSCs can effectively reduce the renal interstitial fibrosis in UUO rat model.
Contribution of acrB upregulation & OmpC/Ompk36 loss over the presence of bla NDM towards carbapenem resistance development among pathogenic Escherichia coli & Klebsiella spp.
Authors: Pal Arijit , Dhara Lena , Tripathi Anusri 
Published: July 2019

Background & objectives:
The global spread of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) is an emerging clinical problem. Hence, in this study, the plausible role of extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs)/carbapenemases, OmpC/Ompk36, acrB and their combinations was explored among CRE.

Methods:
The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of meropenem, enzyme-phenotypes (ESBLs/IR and metallo-beta-lactamase (MBL)/non-MBL carbapenemase), genotypes (bla
TEM,
bla
SHV and bla
CTX-M; bla

KPC and bla
OXA-48-like variants), acrB and outer membrane protein (OMP) expressions were analyzed with a total of 101 non-duplicate clinical isolates, obtained from various samples of patients visiting two tertiary care units of Eastern India during May 2013 - October 2016. This included Escherichia coli (n=36) and Klebsiella pneumoniae (n=65), categorized into two groups, namely Group I (resistant to all carbapenems; n=93; E. coli=34 and Klebsiella spp.=59) and Group II (non-resistant to all the carbapenems; n=8; E. coli=2 and Klebsiella spp.=6).

Results:
Though 88.17 per cent of Group I isolates exhibited ESBL property, the presence of carbapenemase activity (70.96%) and that of bla
NDM gene (42/66: 63.63%) indicated their contributions towards the emergence of CRE. Further, porin loss and/or efflux pump activation among ESBL/carbapenemase-producing isolates heightened the MIC of meropenem from 64 to 256 mg/l (range exhibited by only ESBL/carbapenemase-producing isolates) to >256 mg/l.

Interpretation & conclusions:
These findings implied the major contribution of porin loss and/or efflux pump activation over the presence of ESBLs/carbapenemases in imparting carbapenem resistance in pathogenic bacteria.

Oral Mucosal Lesions among Prisoners in Central Prison, Chennai, India
Authors: Johny Minimol K , Mathew T Aby 
Published: July 2019

ABSTRACT

Background
Oral health status of prisoners has been an area of concern worldwide. The prison population is unique in nature because of the complexities of their psychological, social and behavioral aspects. Limited oral healthcare facilities in prison settings have resulted in neglect of oral health among prisoners.

Aim
The present study aims to assess oral mucosal lesions among prisoners in Central Prison, Chennai.

Materials and methods
A cross-sectional epidemiological survey was conducted in Central Prison, Puzhal, Chennai. The study population consisted of 1060 prisoners from three divisions of the Central Prison. Oral mucosal lesions among the prisoners were assessed by a single investigator according to World Health Organization (WHO) specifications.

Results
The present study shows that among the study subjects, 37.7% of males and 17.1% of females developed oral mucosal lesions. The prevalence of smokers melanosis was 27.6% among males and 8.6% among females. The prevalence of oral mucosal lesions was found to be highest in study subjects of 55 years and above.

Conclusion
A large proportion of the study subjects had oral mucosal lesions. Oral mucosal lesions like oral submucosis fibrosis, smokers palate and smokers melanosis was found to be common among males than females. Oral healthcare facilities should be incorporated in prison settings which would intercept the progress of oral mucosal lesions.

Anterior Middle Superior Alveolar Nerve Block Efficacy Utilizing different Anesthetic Solutions, Reduced Dosage and Conventional Syringe: A Breakthrough in Pain Control
Authors: Tattan Mustafa , Kokovic Vladimir 
Published: July 2019

ABSTRACT

Introduction
For over a decade of introducing the anterior middle superior alveolar (AMSA) injection, it has since majorly only been reported to show both pulpal and buccal mucosal effectiveness using a minimum of 0.9 ml of anesthetic solution.

Aim
The aim of this study was to demonstrate the AMSA nerve block efficacy using a reduced dosage and conventional syringe, while comparing the anesthetic effectiveness of lidocaine vs mepivacaine. A primary objective was to understand the behavioral difference between the two solutions, to better adapt their application into relevant clinical scenarios, where fewer injections are administered, pain control is better understood and implemented, and collateral anesthesia altering the natural lip line is eliminated.

Materials and methods
Twelve candidates (both sexes), of ages 18 to 24, were selected. All the participants received bilateral AMSA nerve block (split-mouth technique) using the conventional syringe, where 0.6 ml of lidocaine and mepivacaine 2% with epinephrine 1:100,000 were randomly administered to each side.

Results
Pulpal anesthesia on both premolar teeth showed 83.3% success within 15 minutes with lidocaine group (LG) and mepivacaine group (MG) alike. Buccal anesthesia at both premolar teeth showed 50% success within 15 minutes with LG and 54.2% with MG. There was no difference in anesthetic effectiveness between the two groups in pulpal anesthesia (p ≥0.05), and no significant difference in buccal mucosal anesthesia (p ≥0.05).

Conclusion
No statistically significant difference was observed between lidocaine and mepivacaine, while both expressed anesthetic effectiveness using a reduced dosage, as well as near painlessness using the conventional syringe.

A Comparison of Methods for Increasing Retention of Complete Veneer Crowns
Authors: Weed Roger Martin 
Published: July 2019

ABSTRACT

Aim
To determine if boxes or grooves were effective in enhancing the retention of full veneer crowns.

Materials and methods
Ten full veneer crown preparations were machined out of brass with 10 different configurations. They consisted of a plain short preparation, a plain long preparation and preparations with 1 to 4 boxes or 1 to 4 grooves. Ten gold castings were fabricated for each preparation and the cemented. An Instron* was used to remove the castings with the force required recorded in Newtons.

Results
Statistical differences were found in retention between various configurations with boxes being universally more retentive than grooves or the plain crowns.

Conclusion
All the box configurations significantly enhanced retention. Therefore, one box alone would provide the enhanced retention needed for a full veneer crown without the need to create additional retention features.

Authors: Pithon Matheus Melo , Costa Matheus Souza Campos , Coqueiro Raildo , Couto Felipe 
Published: July 2019

ABSTRACT

Aims
Evaluate the esthetic attractiveness of the Petit type facial masks of different colors among youngsters from public and private schools.

Materials and methods
Eight orthopedic facial masks of the Petit type, in different colors were evaluated. Images were obtained of the same patient, and were standardized with a program for changing images (Adobe Photoshop software from CS). The following colors were inserted in the masks: white, gray, green, yellow, blue, pink, orange and black. After acquisition, the images were printed on photographic paper and incorporated into a specific and personalized questionnaire. The questionnaire was distributed among children of both genders, in the age ranges from 7 to 8, and 9 to 10 years, at public and private schools (n = 200). For the scores attributed to each image, the Mann-Whitney test was used, and among groups, Spearman's correlation. The level of significance adopted was 5%.

Results
Only the scores attributed to the color brown presented significant difference between the schoolchildren from public and private schools. In a comparison between genders, the boys awarded better scores to the colors gray, blue and black, whereas the girls awarded better scores to the color pink. When comparing the age ranges examined there were no statistical differences.

Conclusion
The color of the Petit type of facial mask has an influence on the esthetic attractiveness to children from 7 to 10 years, and preference for certain colors is also influenced by gender and the type of school (public or private).

Comparison of Fungal Biofilm Formation on Three Contemporary Denture Base Materials
Authors: Wicks Russell , Babu Jegdish , Garcia-Godoy Franklin , Jain Vinay 
Published: July 2019

ABSTRACTStatement of problem: Modern polyamide ‘flexible’ denture base materials have increased in popularity for use in removable partial dentures in the last several years. The introduction of these newer products warrants investigation of their relative potential to develop fungal biofilms.PurposeThe purpose of this study was to investigate the potential of three denture base materials to support fungal biofilm formation.Materials and methodsSpecimens of two ‘flexible’ nylon type materials and one traditional heat processed, methyl methacrylate resin material were studied (both polished and unpolished surfaces). The specimens were coated with saliva and evaluated for fungal (Candida albicans) biofilm formation. The fungal biofilm mass formed on denture substrates were evaluated by dry weight analysis and by determining the number of viable fungal cells in the biofilm by MTT viability assay. Alteration in fungal metabolic function following the treatment of the biofilmC. albicanswith nystatin and fluconazole was determined by XTT assay.ResultsIn general, the unpolished surfaces of the denture disks favored the fungal biofilm, the most being on polyamide specimen, Valplast. Significantly, less biofilm was formed on Duraflex and Lucitone surfaces. Biofim on C. albicans was also found to be resistant to antifungal agents. As compared to freshly incubated (grown) planktonic cells, biofilm fungal cells required significantly higher concentrations of nystatin and fluconazole in order to obtain 50% reduction in metabolic activity.ConclusionThis study demonstrated the differences in denture materials to support fungal biofilm formation, and also difference between polished and unpolished denture material surfaces. The results demonstrated that one of the polyamide materials (duraflex) had lesser potential to biofilm formation than the others.Clinical significanceUnfavorable tissue responses can ensue from the presence of fungal biofilms on dental prosthetics. Resistance to biofilm formation is a factor for dental materials in their selection and usage. This study helps to quantify, evaluate and compare biofilm formation on polished and unpolished surfaces of three commonly used denture base materials. The results of this study helped to identify materials, which may, therefore, be better indicated in clinical applications. Evaluations for the newer denture base materials, specific to these testing methods, appear to be novel in the scientific literature.How to cite this articleJain V, Babu J, Ahuja S, Wicks R, Garcia-Godoy F.

Published: July 2019

ABSTRACT
Skeletal class III malocclusion treated with orthognathic surgery usually can achieve a better facial profile and stable occlusion outcome. We describe a 37-year-old patient who sought orthodontic treatment for skeletal class III, but refused recommendations for orthognathic surgery because of personal considerations. After careful analysis of the X-ray images and study models, this patient was subjected to active orthodontic treatment to correct malocclusion using upper and lower arch with improved superelastic NiTi alloy wire (ISW) for efficient leveling of the teeth. In the lower arch, the multibends edgewise archwire (MEAW) technique was used to tip back and intrude the canine and posterior teeth. After the completion of treatment, anterior teeth crossbite was successfully corrected and proper occlusal relationships were reestablished.

Influence of QMix Irrigant on the Accuracy of Four Different Electronic Apex Locators
Authors: Koçak Mustafa Murat , Türker Sevinç A 
Published: July 2019

ABSTRACT
The aim of this study was to compare the accuracy of four different electronic apex locators in the presence of various irrigation solutions or dry canal condition. Nineteen mandibular incisor teeth were selected. The real working lengths (RWL) of teeth were measured with #15 K-file. The electronic working lengths (EWLs) were measured with Root ZX mini, Raypex 6, iPex II, and Propex II under the condition of dry canal and in the presence of sodium hypochlorite and QMix. The difference between EWL and RWL was calculated. Root ZX mini was more accurate than Propex II under dry condition. No difference was found between the electronic apex locators in the presence of sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl). In the presence of QMix, Propex II and Root ZX mini demonstrated more accurate measurements than iPex II. Root ZX mini was found more accurate under dry condition than in the presence of QMix. Raypex 6 demonstrated more accuracy in the presence of QMix when compared with NaOCl. iPex II showed similar measurements with all tested solutions. Propex II was more accurate in the presence of QMix. All devices can be considered reliable when used with QMix irrigation solution and with any irrigant.
