Buonocore Memorial Lecture 2023: Longevity of Dental Restorations or Longevity of Teeth: What Matters?
Authors: Opdam NJM , Montagner AF , Cenci MS 
Published: October 2024

SUMMARY
This paper aims to raise a discussion from the perspective of maintaining long-term oral health, posing a critical question: What holds greater significance for maintaining oral health, the longevity of restorations or teeth? This question explores the aspects that truly matter in ensuring sustained oral health throughout an individual’s life. Restoration longevity is well-researched, and evidence shows several risk factors influencing longevity. The dentist’s decision-making factor may be of utmost importance, and further studies are needed to investigate its relevance. The critical risk factors for restoration longevity are active pathology (high caries risk), less prominent parafunction, and extensive defects such as endodontic treatment. However, tooth longevity and the main risk factors for tooth loss are not well-researched. The evidence shows dental caries, and its sequelae, are the principal reasons for tooth loss. Patient-related risk factors, especially those associated with lifestyle and health choices, play a major role in the longevity of restorations and, more importantly, tooth longevity. To provide personalized dental care with maximum patient benefit, clinicians should identify and record potential risk factors, promoting a healthy lifestyle to ensure tooth and dentition longevity. Moreover, the evidence suggests that decision-making frameworks based on minimal intervention principles offer the best standard for clinical practice, promoting a longstanding healthy oral environment.

Abstract
The aim of this paper was to study and analyze methods of evaluating the service ability and lifespan of ballistic armors made of a hybrid silicone-ceramic (HSC) composites. Experimental tests with accelerated ageing were conducted on the composite ballistic armors in a laboratory to predict and analyze their durability: changes in ballistic performance, as well as physical, and structural properties occurring due to simulated usage conditions. It was proved that despite the changes which took place at the molecular level in the HSC composite materials, accelerated aging processes do not affect the fragmentation resistance level of ballistic HSC inserts.

The OBJECTIVE was to compare efficiency of the use of various types of conduits during coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).METHODS AND MATERIALS. The retrospective study included 282 patients, who underwent CABG, performed with different types of conduits. The average age of the patients was 63.2±8.5 years; the majority of 231 patients (81.9%) were male. Patients were separated in 3groups depending on the use of conduits: the first one included patients after bimammary coronary artery bypass grafting (n=77); the second one involved coronary artery bypass grafting using radial artery(n=87); the third one included patients with venous conduits (n=77). The main endpoint of the study was the development of conduit dysfunctions in the long-term period according to diagnostic coronary artery bypass grafting.RESULTS. The average follow-up time in the long-term period was 44.9±39 months. During this period, 198 patients underwent diagnostic coronary artery bypass grafting. According to the results of the analysis, the greatest effectiveness was observed in groups using arterial conduits – the left internal thoracic artery and radial artery. For example, the incidence of dysfunction of the left internal thoracic artery in the anterior artery basin was 8.2%; the incidence of dysfunction of radial artery in the right artery basin was 12.5 %, and in the obtuse marginal branch basin – 11.5 %; while the incidence of venous conduits’ dysfunction varied, reaching its maximum of 42.8 %.CONCLUSIONS. Thus, the greatest efficiency was observed when using the left and the right internal thoracic arteries, thereafter by the radial artery. The results of using venous conduits were lower.

Objectives:
Congenital talipes equinovarus (CTEV), commonly known as clubfoot, affects 1–4/1000 births, predominantly males. Without intervention, children face mobility limitations and deformities. Conservative treatment, particularly the Ponseti technique, which boasts a success rate exceeding 90%, is favored despite potential complications.

Methods:
This study aimed to assess the efficacy of the Ponseti technique through a retrospective analysis of idiopathic CTEV cases. Data on pre- and post-treatment Pirani scores were analyzed across variables including age, sex, number of casts, Achilles tenotomy, surgical intervention, and complications. Participants were categorized based on treatment outcomes to identify contributing factors.

Results:
Among 42 participants (69 feet), 62% were male, presenting at an average age of 9 weeks and receiving an average of 5.26 casts per patient. Pre-treatment Pirani scores averaged 4.52, significantly decreasing to 0.88 post-treatment. Feet managed without surgery demonstrated greater improvement in Pirani scores (mean change 3.888) compared to those requiring surgery (mean change 2.364), a statistically significant difference (P < 0.001). Acceptable outcomes were observed in 84.06% of feet. Percutaneous Achilles tenotomy was performed in 84% of cases. Surgical intervention was necessary in 15.94% of feet. Casting complications occurred in 14.49% of feet.

Conclusion:
This study confirms the Ponseti technique’s effectiveness in managing idiopathic CTEV, emphasizing early detection and initiation of conservative treatment. The early findings establish the Ponseti technique as the preferred initial approach for CTEV management.
India’s role in the odyssey of medical training in South Africa
Authors: SINGH BHUGWAN , SINGH JUHI PRIYAM , EBRAHIM SUMAYYAH , NAIDOO NAMASHA MARIEMUTHOO 
Published: October 2024

Apartheid had a devastating impact on medical education in South Africa. Until the development of the University of Natal Medical School in 1951, there were minimal opportunities for blacks (collectively Africans, Indians and so-called coloureds) to undertake undergraduate and postgraduate medical training in South Africa. At the height of apartheid (1968–1977), whites who had constituted 17% of the population, accounted for up to 87% of all medical graduates. The African majority, constituting 70% of the population had less than 5% of all medical graduates in South Africa. The global isolation of South Africa from the late 1940s further impacted negatively on the medical training for blacks in South Africa.
During apartheid, the Government of India provided full scholarships to the marginalized in South Africa to study medicine in India. This initiative, coming at a time when India was grappling with its post-colonial challenges, was a remarkable yet seldom appreciated gesture.

Background
We aimed to evaluate the 3-year participation status of tuberculosis (TB) laboratories in public health laboratories (PHL) tuberculosis external quality assessment (EQA) and EQA results.

Method
During 2018–2020, PHLs participated in the EQA programme organized annually by the National Tuberculosis Reference Laboratory (NTRL). Five kinds of EQA samples were sent to the participating laboratories on three parameters, including microscopy, culture and phenotypic first-line drug susceptibility testing and they were asked to perform according to the standard protocol. The results were taken over by the Tuberculosis Laboratories Surveillance Network (TULSA) web system and analysed.

Results
A total of 24 PHLs participated in the EQA in 2018; 30 in 2019 and 23 in 2020. In terms of sensitivity, specificity, accuracy and reproducibility in microscopy, respectively, in 2018, 20 of the laboratories were 100%, 4 of them 80%, and in culture 16 of them were 100% and 2 of them 80%; in 2019, 28 of them were 100%, 2 of them 80%, and in culture 11 of them were 100%, 6 of them 80%, 1 of them 60%; in 2020, 20 of them were 100%, 3 of them 80%, and in culture 13 of them were 100% and 3 of them 80%.

Conclusion
It is beneficial for laboratories working on TB to participate in EQA in terms of evaluating the accuracy and reliability of the method used.

Published: October 2024

Objectives
To assess the knowledge and practice of pelvic floor muscle exercises (PFMEs) among pregnant women.

Material and Methods
This three-month cross-sectional study was carried out at the Enugu State University Teaching Hospital (ESUTH) in Enugu, Nigeria, from January to March 2024. One hundred and four expectant mothers attending antenatal sessions at this centre were involved in the study. Utilising a self-structured questionnaire, data was gathered. A mean score of ≥2.5 was regarded as acceptable.

Results
The findings of the study indicated that 77.9% of the participants had a good knowledge of PFMEs. The majority (77.9%) perform PFMEs at home (88.9%), primarily utilising the Kegel pelvic floor exercise (91.3%). The primary factor influencing the use of PFMEs was found to be forgetfulness (2.81 ± 0.85). Knowledge, educational attainment and PFME practice were significantly correlated (p = 0.001; p = 0.041), respectively.

Conclusion
Pregnant mothers are well versed in PFME and actively implement it. However, the primary identified factor impacting the practice is forgetfulness. Knowledge and educational attainment had a positive effect on the application of PFMEs. Thus, the PFMEs programme should be incorporated into weekly prenatal sessions and girl education should be encouraged.
