Authors: Karna Tanupama , Rath Kalyani , Behera Anusuya 
Published: December 2024

ABSTRACT

Background:
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is the most common medical complication and metabolic disorder of pregnancy. The prevalence of GDM in all pregnancies is approximately 7%. Globally, there are 14% pregnancies with significant variability in prevalence based on diagnostic criteria, sociodemographic characteristics, and geographic region.

Objectives:
The aim of this study was to determine the level of depression, breastfeeding self-efficacy, and association of depression among postnatal GDM and non-GDM mothers.

Methods:
This cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted in the Obstetric and Gynaecology ward of KIMS hospital using a consecutive sampling technique. Out of 200 postnatal mothers, 100 GDM and 100 non-GDM postnatal mothers were recruited. Data were collected using a the self-structured demographic tool, Edinburgh postnatal Depression Scale, and Breastfeeding Self-efficacy Scale. Written informed consent was taken from the postnatal women before data collection. The inclusion criteria included postnatal women who were willing to participate and understand and respond in Odia or English, and postnatal women who have chronic diseases like tuberculosis, malignancy, renal failure, and cardiac disorder were excluded from the study.

Results:
The depression of mothers with GDM was found higher compared to non-GDM mothers, and breastfeeding self-efficacy was lower in GDM and higher in non-GDM mothers.

Conclusion:
In the current study, it has been concluded that the depression level of mothers with GDM was found higher compared to non-GDM mothers and breastfeeding self-efficacy was lower in GDM as compared to non-GDM mothers. GDM mothers have a significant impact on depression and breastfeeding self-efficacy during the postpartum period.

Published: December 2024

ABSTRACT

Context:
After tooth extraction, alveolar ridge preservation (ARP) is essential to maintain the hard and soft tissue dimensions for future implant placement. Two frequently employed biomaterials in ARP are freeze-dried bone allograft (FDBA) and platelet-rich fibrin (PRF), each possessing unique biological characteristics.

Materials and Methods:
In a randomized controlled study, sixty individuals requiring ARP after tooth extraction were included. The patients were divided into two groups: Group A (n = 30) received PRF, and Group B (n = 30) received FDBA. Clinical measurements, such as soft tissue thickness, keratinized tissue width, and radiographic bone density, were recorded at baseline, three months, and six months after surgery. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) was used to assess changes in hard tissue, such as the width and height of the alveolar ridge.

Results:
Group A (PRF) showed a significant increase in soft tissue thickness over six months, with an average gain of 2.5 mm (P < 0.01). In contrast, Group B (FDBA) showed a 30% increase in bone density compared to baseline (P < 0.05). Group B experienced a decrease in alveolar ridge height and width of 1.2 mm and 1.8 mm, respectively, while Group A showed a reduction of 1.6 mm and 2.3 mm.

Conclusion:
In conclusion, peri-implant soft and hard tissues benefit from both PRF and FDBA during alveolar ridge maintenance. Soft tissue thickness can be improved more effectively with PRF, while FDBA is superior for preserving hard tissue.

Published: December 2024

ABSTRACT

Background:
Lip print analysis, also known as cheiloscopy, is a valuable tool in forensic science for personal identification and sex determination.

Methods:
A total of 116 individuals (58 males and 58 females) were enrolled in this study. Lip prints were obtained using three methods: lipstick application, latent print development, and digital photography. The obtained lip prints were analyzed for accuracy, sex-specific variations, and stability over a 6-month period.

Results:
Lip print patterns exhibited significant differences between males and females across all three methods. The lipstick method demonstrated consistent and identifiable lip print patterns, with 25 males (43.1%) and 39 females (67.2%) displaying pattern 1. In contrast, the latent method showed less consistent results, with lip print pattern 1 observed in 25 males (43.1%) and 28 females (48.3%). Digital photography emerged as a promising alternative, offering detailed documentation capabilities, with pattern 1 observed in 30 males (51.7%) and 37 females (63.8%). However, no statistically significant association was found between lip print patterns and sex in the latent and digital methods. A longitudinal assessment revealed variations in lip print patterns over time, with some individuals showing changes in pattern distribution.

Conclusion:
These findings underscore the utility of lip print analysis in forensic science and emphasize the need for further research to enhance the interpretation of lip print evidence.

Authors: Pallavi Kumari , Amaranath B.J. Janardhana , Das Neelam , Mukherjee Koushik , Das Arindam , Katiyar Priya 
Published: December 2024

ABSTRACT

Background:
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and chronic periodontitis share inflammatory pathways, potentially exacerbating periodontal disease with increased severity of OSA.

Methods:
A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 500 patients with sleep disorders. The prevalence and severity of OSA were determined using polysomnography and the Apnoea-Hypopnea Index, categorized into three stages, and associated comorbidities were recorded from medical records. The periodontal status was evaluated using clinical parameters such as the Oral Hygiene Index, Gingival Index, probing pocket depth, clinical attachment level, and gingival recession.

Results:
Patients with periodontal disease (OSA) had varying severity levels, with severe OSA (78.4%) causing more severe periodontal disease compared to moderate (35.4%) and mild (20.3%) patients. Patients with moderate and severe OSA stages showed significantly higher prevalence of comorbidities like hypertension (100%), coronary heart disease (90.5%), diabetes mellitus (71.6%), and obesity (51.4%) with statistically significant associations found (P < 0.05). Patients also exhibit parafunctional habits, including smoking (43.2%) and mouth breathing (60.8%).

Conclusion:
A significant association between mild OSA, increasing with age and males, and chronic periodontal disease, with severe OSA exhibiting greater periodontal destruction was found.

Authors: Yarmurad Marwa Basim , Ali Miami Abdul Hassan 
Published: December 2024

Abstract

Background:
Preeclampsia (PE) is a major health problem that increases the risk of renal impairment during pregnancy. Studies have described the utility of Cystatin C as a better indicator of kidney function during pregnancy compared to urea, creatinine, or uric acid.

Objective:
The objective of the study was to evaluate cystatin C as a diagnostic tool for renal impairment in women with severe PE and compare it to standard renal function tests.

Patients and Methods:
A case–control study was conducted at Al Yarmouk Teaching Hospital, Bagdad. From March 1, 2022, to September 1, 2022, 94 3rd-trimester pregnant women with newly diagnosed or a history of PE were included in the study and interviewed and subsequently divided into three groups. The GraphPad Prism Software was used for data analysis and graphical presentations in addition to SPSS version 28; 0.05 was selected as a cutoff point for statistical significance.

Results:
The mean of cystatin C for control 0.39 ± 0.15 was significantly lower than for severe PE 1.12 ± 0.53, P < 0.001. The mean cystatin C for mild PE 0.52 ± 0.13 was considerably lower than for severe PE 1.12 ± 0.53, P < 0.001.

Conclusions:
Patients with severe PE had higher serum cystatin C than patients with mild PE and healthy normotensive pregnant females. Serum cystatin C at a cutoff value of >0.61 had higher diagnostic accuracy than the other standard kidney tests (urea, creatinine, and uric acid), with a sensitivity and specificity of 90.32% and 93.75%, respectively.

Authors: Sivamuni Saila , Nazimi Abd Jabar 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
Orbital floor fracture is common and often requires treatment to restore the orbital volume and function. We describe a simplified yet effective way of smoothening the cut edge of the preformed orbital floor plate using the serration of the readily available surgical instrument. This method has been consistently successful in smoothening the plate in a simple and quick manner and negates the need for an additional instrument or method for smoothening the plate.

Published: December 2024

Abstract
Lipomas are common benign fatty mesenchymal tumors, with a variety of histological variations, of which fibrolipoma is one. Despite being harmless, it can be of esthetic concern when presented on the face. We report the case of a 48-year-old patient with a disfiguring diffuse soft swelling on the face over the left infraorbital region lateral to the ala of the nose, which was asymptomatic but warranted treatment for esthetic reasons. It was provisionally diagnosed as a sebaceous cyst, based on clinical examination. It was surgically excised and sent for histopathological examination. The overall esthetic outcome was improved for the patient with no adverse complications. The results of the histopathological examination were found to have more of a fibrocellular matrix (excessive accumulation of collagen fibers with other extracellular matrix components) along with adipocytes, concluding the diagnosis of a variety of lipomas known as fibrolipoma. Lipomas are harmless in nature, but the occurrence in visible areas of the body would indicate a need for treatment. This case report emphasizes the presentation and management of such tumors.

Published: December 2024

Abstract
Mucormycosis is a rare and opportunistic fungal disease which is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Immune compromised and diabetic patients are usually more susceptible to this fungal infection. Patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) who were also treated with steroids have also been shown to have an increased risk of developing mucormycosis. Here, we present a case report of fulminant mucormycosis in a 52-year-old diabetic male patient who were immunocompromised due to having contracted COVID-19 and subsequently treated with steroids. Highlights on appropriate surgical and medical therapy in such presentation are discussed.
Symblepharon Following the Transconjunctival Approach: A Report of Three Cases
Authors: Peter Sabrina , Ng Farah Nur Tedin , Keong Jia Yee 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
The transconjunctival approach has been used to access the infraorbital rim and the orbital floor for treating zygomaticomaxillary complex (ZMC) fracture with or without the orbital floor involvement. Many studies have shown that this approach has a low rate of postoperative complications with entropion being one of the more commonly reported complications. This is in contrast to symblepharon development which is rarely observed following the transconjunctival approach. Symblepharon can be one of the most challenging ocular problems and may be associated with restriction of extraocular movement, inadequate blinking, entropion, and dry eye. Hereby, we report three cases of symblepharon development postoperatively within 3 months after performing orbital floor reconstruction and open reduction internal fixation of ZMC fracture through the transconjunctival approach.

Published: December 2024

Abstract
Primary adenoid cystic carcinoma (PACC) of the mandible is an extremely rare malignant tumor of the minor salivary gland which may show similar clinical features with many odontogenic or nonodontogenic tumor. It comprises <0.4% of all salivary gland carcinomas. We report a case of a 60-year-old male patient with an 11-month history of mandibular swelling. Thorough history taking and clinical examination revealead osteosarcoma and differentials of odontogenic tumors. There was no thought of salivary gland neoplasm. An incisional biopsy was performed, which revealed a cribriform disposition of basaloid cells with angulated hyperchromatic nuclei and mucoid cystic spaces consistently keeping with ACC of the mandible. The patient had a mandibulectomy and was later referred to the oncology unit for further evaluation and no recurrence after a 1-year follow-up period. This report highlights an unusual presentation in terms of location of ACC in the mandible.

Authors: Chang Yin-Hsi , Tan Gavin S. W. , Chou Hung-Da , Tsai Andrew S. H. 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
Intraoperative optical coherence tomography (iOCT) has been applied and studied in a variety of vitreoretinal surgeries for its feasibility, safety, and outcomes for years. Common scenarios include membrane peeling procedures, retinal detachments, choroidal–retinal biopsies, Argus implants, and subretinal injections. iOCT offers the surgeon a better understanding of the retinal microarchitectural changes and timely intraoperative feedback, directing a future view of precision surgery. However, this technology has not been widely adopted due to its limitations including cost, surgeons’ habits, lack of compatible equipment, software limitations, and so on. We aim to highlight the importance of iOCT in guiding clinical-relevant surgical decisions by illustrating two vitreoretinal cases that are complex and less frequently encountered.

Fiber Bragg Grating-Based Tunable Wavelength Orbital Angular Momentum Beam Generation with Varying Polarization
Authors: Koley Avijit 
Published: December 2024

This paper introduces and theoretically analyze the generation of orbital angular momentum (OAM) modes with different polarization in a few-mode optical fiber using short-period gratings (Bragg gratings) at telecommunication wavelengths. The modal characteristics of the supported modes have been studied using a full-vector true-mode analysis. Additionally, a appropriately designed raised-cosine apodized grating is employed to couple the HE11 core mode to the counter-propagating cladding mode. In contrast to the long-period grating based OAM mode generation, the present scheme is free from periodic back-coupling of optical power into the fundamental core mode which drastically enhances the OAM mode purity. The ±1-order OAM beam has been generated by combining the first higher order core modes with a π/2 phase shift between them. This paper also shows that by combining different higher order modes, it is possible to obtain a linearly polarised OAM mode or a circularly polarised OAM mode. Finally, I also report that in fibers with larger core radius, the higher order OAM mode of topological charge ±2 or higher can also be generated using similar approach of using short-period gratings. The topological charge of the OAM mode is verified by observing both the coaxial and off axial interference fringes.
