But I Need It! Exploring a Magic Quadrant for Collections Needs, Wants and Contributions
Authors: Seeman Corey 
Published: September 2024

Years and years of looking at Gartner Magic Quadrant charts has finally provided an inspiration for library adoption. The Gartner Magic Quadrant is a basic 2x2 matrix that serves as a decision support tool based on criteria along the X and Y axes. The Gartner model explores the "completeness of vision" with the "ability to execute" to rank the leading firms in any space into four major categories. In working with a vendor recently who showcased numerous faculty 'testimonials,' it dawned on me that we have a good use for a 2x2 matrix for library collections. We can use this to describe two factors, "the desire to have" and the "willingness to contribute." This is a core of the difficulty we have with sustainable budgeting for resources that might be critical, but there is no other funding available. It might be good as a way to explore priorities and encourage contributions from users for the resources we are being asked to fund.

Abstract
Management of phytosanitary and biosecurity risks associated with the Cerambycidae focuses on prevention and early detection. Semiochemical-baited traps are an important component of these management efforts. Cerambycid pheromones are often screened in field trials to develop inventories of which species can be surveyed with which semiochemicals. We report field trials of two types of intercept traps (four- and three-sided panel traps) baited with known Cerambycidae pheromones aimed to capture Peruvian fauna. Intercept traps were baited with anti-2,3-hexanediol, fuscumol, and fuscumol acetate alone and in binary and ternary blends. The most frequently captured species was Megacyllene andesiana (Casey) (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) (n = 268), followed by Oreodera bituberculata Bates (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) (n = 59), Discopus eques Bates (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) (n = 37), and Aegomorphus longitarsis (Bates) (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) (n = 31). Trap type did not affect capture rates. Male and female M. andesiana were attracted by anti-2,3-hexanediol. The addition of fuscumol, fuscumol acetate, or the combination of fuscumol and fuscumol acetate reduced male M. andesiana captures, whereas the addition of fuscumol and the combination of fuscumol and fuscumol acetate reduced the response of female M. andesiana. Male O. bituberculata were attracted to traps baited with fuscumol, and this response was reduced by the addition of fuscumol acetate, whether or not anti-2,3-hexanediol was present.

Published: September 2024

Abstract

Background:
Preoperative anxiety has a significant impact on many pediatric surgery patients annually. This study aimed to evaluate the preoperative anxiety scores as predictors of postoperative outcomes in children undergoing cardiac surgery.

Subjects and Methods:
This cohort study involved 133 children between the ages of 2 and 6 years who underwent cardiac surgery. Preoperative anxiety was evaluated using the happy, relaxed, anxious, distressed scale (HRAD±), Modified Yale Preoperative Anxiety Scale (mYPAS), and Induction Compliance Checklist (ICC) scores. Emergence agitation (EA) was assessed using the Watcha scale at 30 min intervals during the initial 4 h period and again at 24 h. The study’s primary outcome was the correlation between the HRAD± score and postoperative agitation. Secondary outcomes included the correlation between each of the mYPAS and ICC scores and postoperative agitation, as well as the incidence and severity of postoperative agitation.

Results:
Anxiety was observed in 70.68% of patients. The mean mYPAS score increased after separation, entering the operating room, and during induction of anesthesia compared to the holding area (49.3 ± 5.27, 51.7 ± 4.98, 63.4 ± 5.8 vs. 36.7 ± 4.6). There were significant positive associations between postoperative agitation and preoperative agitation scores, including HRAD±, mYPAS, and ICC scores (P < 0.001). The incidence and severity of EA were high at 0.5 h and then decreased over 24 h postoperatively.

Conclusion:
Preoperative HRAD±, mYPAS, and ICC scores may predict postoperative agitation in children undergoing cardiac surgery.

Published: September 2024

Abstract

Background:
Lung-protective ventilation strategies, one of which is to limit peak inspiratory pressure (PIP), are recommended in the management of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The purpose of this study was to determine whether dynamic pressure gradient, defined as the difference between PIP and positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP), is associated with pediatric ARDS mortality in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU).

Materials and Methods:
This was a retrospective, single-center cohort study with consecutive sampling. Children aged 1 month to 18 years with ARDS who were admitted to PICU and used invasive mechanical ventilator between January and December 2023 were included. Patient’s demographic data, pediatric logistic organ dysfunction 2 (PELOD-2) score, oxygenation index (OI), oxygen saturation index (OSI), PEEP, and dynamic pressure gradient were collected from the patient’s medical record. The outcome is mortality, which is measured upon discharge.

Results:
The subjects’ median age was 6 months, predominantly male (64.06%). The etiology of ARDS was pneumonia (90.63%) and sepsis (9.37%). Bivariate analysis showed that dynamic pressure gradient (OR = 4.77, 95% CI=1.47–15.5, P = 0.003), PEEP (OR = 3.21, 95% CI = 1.07–9.52, P = 0.033), and PELOD-2 score at 24–72 h (OR = 3.68, 95% CI = 1.146–11.83, P = 0.024) had a significant association with mortality of ARDS patients at PICU. The results of multivariate analysis showed that dynamic pressure gradient had a significant relationship with the mortality of ARDS patients at PICU (OR = 5.22, 95% CI = 1.47–18.56, P = 0.015).

Conclusion:
Dynamic pressure gradient was associated with mortality in pediatric patients with ARDS who were treated in PICU.

Published: September 2024

Abstract

Background:
Preeclampsia is a multisystem disorder in pregnancy and remains a significant cause of maternal morbidity and mortality. In this prospective observational study, we used a continuous noninvasive cardiac output monitor to investigate the changes in arterial blood pressure, cardiac output, systemic vascular resistance, stroke volume, and stroke volume variation during the immediate perioperative period.

Materials and Methods:
Women with preeclampsia undergoing emergency cesarean section under spinal anesthesia were recruited in this prospective observational study. Cardiac output and arterial blood pressures were measured by the Nexfin monitor. Cardiovascular parameters were recorded intraoperatively and up to 48 h postoperatively. The primary outcome was to examine the differences in cardiac output between the intraoperative and postoperative periods.

Results:
Thirty patients included in the data analysis had a mean age of 35.6 ± 5.2 years and gestation of 35.4 ± 2.1 weeks. Post-spinal anesthesia, 50% experienced hypotension. 26.7% had nausea, 10% vomited, and other events included shivering, reactive hypertension, and bradycardia. The use of spinal anesthesia was associated with a significant reduction in systolic (126.7 ± 16.9 vs. 142.0 ± 21.2 mm Hg, P < 0.001), diastolic (71.2 ± 8.4 vs. 77.0 ± 11.3 mm Hg, P < 0.001), mean arterial pressure (92.6 ± 12.2 vs. 103.7 ± 15.3 mm Hg, P < 0.001), cardiac output, and stroke volume compared to postoperative readings. No significant difference was found in cardiac output, cardiac index, or systemic vascular resistance indices between the intraoperative and postoperative periods.

Conclusion:
Spinal anesthesia may have short-term hemodynamic changes in women with preeclampsia. Continuous noninvasive cardiac monitoring can be used to monitor specific cardiac hemodynamic parameters, which may resolve in the immediate postoperative period.

Abstract

Objectives:
The present study evaluated hard- and soft-tissue changes in immediate implants using flapless approach with and without demineralized freeze-dried bone allograft (DFDBA) clinically and radiographically using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT).

Materials and Methods:
Thirty-two sites in patients requiring immediate implants in the maxillary anterior region including the premolars were grouped according to the treatment provided with (test group) or without (control group) DFDBA. Plaque index, probing depth, soft-tissue assessment using Testori Esthetic Score (TS), and ridge width were recorded at baseline and postoperatively at 6 and 12 months, while crestal bone height (CBH), buccal bone thickness (BBT), jump space (JS), and gingival thickness were evaluated using CBCT at baseline and 12 months.

Results:
Considerable differences among the different time lines and the groups in favor of the test group were prominently seen on the midfacial aspects at 12 months, with CBH values of −0.28 ± 0.17 mm in the test group as compared to −0.78 ± 0.34 in the control group (P < 0.0001). The JS was maximum on the buccal aspects being 1.42 ± 0.87 mm in the test group and 1.12 ± 0.81 mm in the control group which reduced at 12 months to 0.13 ± 0.35 mm and 0.73 ± 0.79 mm, respectively.

Conclusion:
Immediate implants with DFDBA augmentation using a flapless protocol demonstrated reduced CBH with resolution of JS and increased BBT, especially at the coronal aspects which influence the tissue stability and overall esthetics.

Abstract
A health-care professional is expected to hone multiple skills that are not limited to possessing medical knowledge and clinical skills. Game-based assessments are an innovative type of assessment method that combines the features of gamification and simulation to revolutionize the delivery of medical education. These assessments have the potential to promote active engagement of students by ensuring sustained interest, which is not possible to accomplish with conventional assessments. Even though game-based assessments have immense scope in medical education delivery and have been linked with multiple merits, there are potential concerns with regard to their implementation in medical institutions. In conclusion, game-based assessments offer an immersive approach to assessing the performance of medical students, especially in the domain of critical thinking and decision-making. However, the process of planning and implementation of game-based assessment has its own share of challenges, and we must adopt a systematic approach to overcome the challenges and benefit students.

Authors: Prithiksha N. , Priyadharshini R. 
Published: September 2024

Abstract

Introduction:
Osteosarcoma (OS) is a rare and aggressive form of bone cancer that primarily affects the long bones of the body, such as the arms and legs. It is characterized by the uncontrolled growth of malignant cells in the bone tissue, leading to the formation of abnormal and painful bone masses. Steviol glycosides have been widely used as natural noncalorie sweeteners and are the collective name of the sweet substances found naturally in the plant Stevia rebaudiana, which is commonly called Stevia. Our study aimed to analyze the anticancer activity of Stevioside in OS.

Materials and Methods:

Stevioside was applied to OS cells, and the levels of Bcl xL, Bcl-2, and Bax were then estimated. The results of three separate studies, each carried out in triplicate, were expressed as the mean ± standard errors of the mean (SEM). One-way ANOVA was used for statistical analysis.

Results:
The findings showed that the effect of Stevioside on sarcoma osteogenic cells with mean ± SEM as 0.74 ± 0.05, 0.69 ± 0.09, 0.46 ± 0.09 for Bcl-xL gene, 0.98 ± 0.06, 0.58 ± 0.07, 0.5 ± 0.07 for Bcl-2 gene, and 1.2 ± 0.08, 1.45 ± 0.11, 1.67 ± 0.12 for Bax gene, respectively, when treated with untreated control cells.

Conclusion:
The study concludes its action against bone OS cells was significant with apoptotic induction. Stevia has a wide range of health benefits as well as being a plant-based diet it has less of side effects and promoting features even by intaking it daily along with other medicines.

Published: September 2024

Abstract

Background:
Stainless steel (SS) orthodontic brackets may have varying corrosion resistance when used with mouthwashes during orthodontic treatment. Studying their effects on orthodontic brackets will be beneficial.

Aim:
The study’s objective was to analyze the surface characteristics of SS orthodontic brackets and their resistance to corrosion, exposed to chlorhexidine and povidone-iodine mouth rinses – an in vitro and in vivo study.

Materials and Methods:
The in vitro test: MBT 0.022” slot SS orthodontic brackets were immersed in three groups – Group A – Modified Meyer-Fusayama artificial saliva (AS), Group B – Chlorhexidine, and Group C – Povidone-iodine mouthwash. The in vivo test: Brackets were conventionally bonded on the patient’s teeth and divided into Group I – control group, Group II – patients used chlorhexidine, and Group III used povidone-iodine mouth rinse. The corrosion resistance and surface characteristics of SS brackets were determined using scanning electron microscope (SEM), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.

Results:
Higher corrosion resistance was obtained for brackets immersed in chlorhexidine mouth rinse. The polarization resistance value of the orthodontic SS bracket was 109 MΩ, 1383 MΩ, and 769 MΩ immersed in AS, chlorhexidine, and povidone-iodine mouth rinse, respectively. After surface chemical analysis, XPS data showed the largest intensity peak of metallic chromium (CrO) fresh sample and in the sample immersed in chlorhexidine mouthwash. According to SEM, brackets immersed in chlorhexidine showed a relatively smooth surface.

Conclusion:
In this study, chlorhexidine was found to be less corrosive followed by povidone-iodine.

Published: September 2024

Abstract

Background:
External apical root resorption (EARR) is an unfavorable side effect of orthodontic treatment. Orthodontic treatment of patients with increased crowding could lead to the proclination of incisors and proximity of roots to the cortical plates.

Aims:
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of the proximity of the labial and lingual cortical plates and the inclination of incisors on EARR.

Settings and Design:
Twenty-six patients (age: 13.39 years) with nonextraction fixed orthodontic treatment were evaluated at pretreatment and posttreatment (52 cone-beam computed tomographies).

Materials and Methods:
The maxillary and mandibular incisors (416 teeth) were evaluated for the pretreatment predictors such as the labial and palatal (lingual) cortical plate thickness, width of the mandibular symphysis/maxillary alveolus and cancellous bone, position of the root apex in cancellous/cortical bone, and treatment factors such as distance of root to the labial and palatal (lingual) outer and inner cortical plate and incisor inclination.

Statistical Analysis Used:
Statistical analyses were performed with R software at a 0.05 significance level. Each parameter was compared between pretreatment and posttreatment by a paired t-test, and the association to root resorption was performed using a regression model.

Results:
Clinically significant (>1 mm) root resorption was observed in 35% of all mandibular incisors and 52% of all maxillary incisors. Width of cancellous bone, position of the root apex in cortical bone, proximity of the root apex to the labial and palatal (lingual) outer cortical plate, lingual inner cortical plate, and proclination of incisors were significant factors associated with EARR.

Conclusions:
Proximity to the cortical plates and proclination of incisors are associated with increased EARR.

Published: September 2024

Abstract
Autoimmune diseases are now well reported with COVID vaccination. Rheumatological, neurological, cardiac, and hematological adverse events are observed globally. Dermatological adverse events are reported in a few cases but dermatological with rheumatological manifestation with reversible autoimmune phenomenon after COVID vaccination is not reported commonly in literature. “Mechanic’s hands” is blackish discoloration of palmar aspects of both hands and knuckles commonly reported in rheumatological autoimmune condition such as dermatomyositis. In this case report, a 28-year-old male presented with polyarthralgia with myalgia and fatigability after 1 month of COVID vaccination. His joint pain symptoms worsened over 4 weeks and developed blackish pigmentation of both hands predominantly involving palms to present as mechanic’s hands. Vasculitis workup was inconclusive and rheumatologic workup documented raised antinuclear antibody titers and rheumatoid factor. We have started him on steroid and hydroxychloroquine and observed satisfactory clinical response with near complete resolution of “mechanic’s hands” in 24 weeks. Mechanic’s hands with rheumatological syndrome which is a rare vaccine-related adverse event, reversible, and easily treatable with routinely available medicines, and importantly it is having excellent prognosis. Mechanic’s hand is first time reported in medical literature after COVID vaccination. Minimal systemic adverse events are known to occur with all viral vector vaccines, but its occurrence is rare and it should not impact on routine vaccinations, as vaccination is a key step in this pandemic to protect humankind.

Published: September 2024

Abstract
Leiomyomas are benign smooth muscle tumors most commonly seen in the uterus occasionally in the gastrointestinal tract. Pulmonary localization is extremely rare with the incidence of <2%. We report the case of a 22-year-old nonsmoking female who presented with left-sided chest pain and streaky hemoptysis. Chest xray showed left lingular lobe and lower lobe collapse. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography showed endobronchial obstruction in the left main bronchus. Debulking was done with electrocautery snare. Histopathological examination showed spindle-shaped cells with eosinophilic cytoplasm. Immunohistochemistry showed smooth muscle actin positivity suggestive of leiomyoma. The patient is under follow-up without any complication and recurrence.

Published: September 2024

Abstract

Background:
Tuberculosis (TB) has significant health, social, psychological, and economic impacts on patients. This study aimed to assess and compare quality of life (QOL) among multidrug-resistant (MDR) TB patients and drug-sensitive TB patients.

Materials and Methods:
A comparative study was conducted among 40 MDR-TB patients and 80 age- and gender-matched drug-sensitive TB patients in Chitradurga district, South India. Sociodemographic data were collected and QOL was assessed using the WHO BREF scale. Data were analyzed using SPSS v20.

Results:
The study population was predominantly male (65%) and aged 27–35 years. Education level and socioeconomic status differed significantly between MDR and sensitive TB groups (P < 0.05). MDR-TB patients had significantly lower self-rated QOL and health satisfaction compared to sensitive TB patients (P < 0.001). MDR-TB patients scored lower on all four QOL domains (physical, psychological, social relationships, and environmental), with the psychological domain most affected. The majority of both MDR and sensitive TB patients had “fair” QOL across domains.

Conclusion:
QOL was impaired in both MDR and sensitive TB patients, but more severely in MDR-TB. The psychological domain was most affected. Factors such as poor accessibility to health services, low socioeconomic status, and poor mental health may contribute to reduce QOL in TB patients.

Published: September 2024

Abstract

Aim and Background:
A noticeable gap in the literature is observed in factors associated with the occurrence of respiratory illness among people working in garment industries. This study aims to investigate whether spirometry screening is warranted for individuals employed within the garment industry.

Subjects and Methods:
This is an observational cross-sectional pilot study conducted in asymptomatic workers of various sectors in a garment industry using spirometry to check for the presence of small airway obstruction. Duration of work along with the nature of work was taken into consideration to see if any correlation exists with the small airway obstruction.

Results:
A random sample of 40 asymptomatic individuals was drawn consisting of 16 males and 24 females with 47.5% of them working for around 5–10 years. Ninety-five percentage showed no evidence of small airway obstruction and only 5% showed small airway obstruction showing that no correlation exists between the duration of work and the development of small airway obstruction in the garment industry.

Conclusion:
There appears to be no significant link between the duration of employment in the garment industry and the development of small airway obstruction as compared to the textile/cotton industry, yet annual screening could be integrated into routine health assessments.
