Surgical endodontics to manage a separated instrument: a case report
Authors: Noorani Tahir Yusuf , Ghani Nik Rozainah Nik Abdul , Asif Jawaad Ahmed , Rahim Irshad Abdul 
Published: January 2018

Various iatrogenic mishaps can impede adequate biomechanical preparation of the root canal system. Instrument separation can be treated by orthograde retreatment, with or without instrument removal, endodontic surgery or extraction. The aim of this case report is to describe a minor surgical procedure to resect an infected root containing a separated instrument. A fractured instrument was detected in the mesiobuccal root of the maxillary first molar extending beyond the apex. This fractured instrument was serving as a niche for infection and formation of a sinus tract. The fractured instrument could not be retrieved through the root canal, hence the root canal was obturated up to the fractured instrument and the apical half of the mesiobuccal root was resected surgically. At the two years recall the clinical and radiographic outcome was considered favourable. CPD/Clinical Relevance: Endodontic surgery, while classically being considered as the last resort, becomes important when orthograde retreatment fails to remove the cause of persisting infection.

Authors: Datta Srishti , Agarwal Abhishek , Akintola Dapo , Alani Aws 
Published: January 2018

Discoveries of foreign bodies lodged in the nose, palate and maxillary sinuses have been well documented. A rare, iatrogenic cause is displacement of dental impression material which, if left undetected at these sites, may lead to acute respiratory obstruction or chronic problems, such as nasal discharge and chronic sinusitis. This article reports the case of acute complications following displacement of dental impression material into a palatal cleft, discusses immediate surgical management, and considers restorative techniques that should be adopted to prevent such complications in patients with cleft palates. CPD/Clinical Relevance: Impression-taking in patients with cleft palate carries significant risks and appropriate referral to a multidisciplinary team is appropiate in order to avoid potentially life-threatening complications.
The Immune System: Basis of so much Health and Disease: 9. Control of Inflammation and Immunity
Authors: Scully Crispian , Georgakopoulou Eleni A , Hassona Yazan 
Published: January 2018

The immune system is the body's primary defence mechanism against infections, and disturbances in the system can cause disease if the system fails in defence functions (in immunocompromised people), or if the activity is detrimental to the host (as in auto-immune and auto-inflammatory states). A healthy immune system is also essential to normal health of dental and oral tissues. This series presents the basics for the understanding of the immune system, this article covering control of immunity and inflammation. Clinical Relevance: Modern dental clinicians need a basic understanding of the immune system as it underlies health and disease.

Authors: Barber Sophy , Carter Lachlan , Mannion Christopher , Bates Claire 
Published: January 2018

Abstract: Distraction osteogenesis (DO) is a method of biologically creating new bone between surgically cut bone surfaces that are separated in a controlled manner by incremental traction. DO can be used in the craniofacial region to manage developmental and acquired deformity resulting from trauma and pathology. This article aims to outline the history and theory that underpins this technique, with a review of its application in the craniofacial region. A second article will discuss the technical aspects of DO and the role of the interdisciplinary team. Clinical Relevance: This report is relevant to all orthodontists providing care to patients with complex craniofacial anomalies that require distraction osteogenesis. The scope for application of the technique is described and we aim to provide guidance for clinicians when assessing potential cases for their suitability.

One the factors that influence the succes of family planning is husband support. Based on BKKBN data until the end of December 2015, the quantity of PUS (Couple Age Fertile) amounted to 13,46%. This figur is lower than the achievement in 2014 which amounted to 16,51%. While for acceptor of KB injection equal to 49,93%, pill 26,36%, IUD 6,81%, implant equal to 9,63%, other method 2,1% (BKKBN, 2016). This study aims to determine the relationship of husband support with long-term family participation in BPM Sri Hastuti S.ST Surabaya The type of this research is the observasional design of the population in this study is the family planning acceptors which amounted to 45 people, the sample in this study is the family planning acceptors in July 2017 which amounted to 40 people. The data of this research was done in July 2017 by using questionnaire and presented in diagram. Family planning acceptors who have husband support in the selection of long-term contraceptives is 5 people (12%) who didn’t participate some 35 people (88%). The quantity of family planning acceptors taking long-term contraceptive methods was 19 (47%) while those who did not participated in 21 people (53%). Based on statistical test using chi square, it is found that p value 0,012 < α (0,05) and calculate value x² 6,316 > count value 3,841, in other words, Ho is rejected and Hi is accepted so it can be concluded that there is relationship of husband support with long-term family participation. This is in accordance with the theory that a wife in decision making to use contraception requires approval from the husband because the husband is seen as the head of the family.

Kitabistyka: źródła, metodologia i perspektywy badawcze
Authors: Łapicz Czesław 
Published: January 2018

The paper contains a synthetic discussion of original and little known philological manuscripts which had been created since the 16th century by Tatars – Muslims of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania – as characteristic Slavic aljamiado. The preserved manuscripts in which Slavic languages – Polish and Belarusian – were recorded in the Arabic alphabet are enormously important for the history of both languages and the Slavic-Oriental language relations. Various types of these historical texts (kitabs, chamails, tajweeds, etc.) contain the first, that is the oldest (16th century), translation of the Quran into a Slavic language (Polish) recorded in the Arabic alphabet (so-called tafsir). These sources are studied within the framework of an original philological sub-discipline of Kitab Studies whose origin and development should be credited to Professor Anton Antonovich from Vilnius University. The author of the paper discusses the research methodology pertaining to these sources, particularly the transliteration of Slavic texts recorded in the Arabic alphabet into the Latin alphabet, and introduces prospective major research tasks for Kitab Studies.
Słowniczek tykociński Zygmunta Glogera – źródła i dokumentacja
Authors: Nowowiejski Bogusław 
Published: January 2018

The article focuses on lexicographic means and methods used in the 19th century dialectal lexicography. Zygmunt Gloger in Tykocin Dictionary refers not only to dialect but also to other sources, which makes his work unique. It contains numerous references, especially to literary and historical texts, but also specialised papers. They serve either to prove the presence of a particular word/phrase in the Polish language in the past or in the times of Gloger, or to document the use of selected units in various syntactic and semantic contexts. Scientific references enable to define and to deepen etymology of selected words, or to provide an alternative variation. Referring to various sources in order to show historically or/and geographically determined phonetic, morphological and semantic-lexical forms that differ from forms in Tykocin Dictionary is rare.

Authors: Bolla Bence , Németh Tamás Márton 
Published: January 2018

Abstract
The aim of this paper is to show how hydrological measurements made in forests and grasslands can contribute to the conservation treatment of ecologically significant habitats. The study was carried out in three different forest stands and their surrounding grasslands in the area of the Kiskunság National Park Directorate between 2012 and 2015. Different methods were applied during the research of the water balance. The average values of canopy interception were 23% in the Scots pine stand and 19.2% in the grey poplar stand. Rainfall quantity, intensity, and dispersion as well as tree structure and health greatly influenced interception. The transpiration values were 205 mm in the coniferous stand, 405 mm in the deciduous stand, and 370 mm in the black locust stand. The water balance of the habitats show that the water uptake is much lower in the grasslands than it is in the surrounding forest stands.
Utilization of Oak (Quercus petreae (Matt.) Liebl.) Bark for Anaerobic Digested Biogas Production

Published: January 2018

Abstract
Fossil fuel depletion has led to an increasing number of research studies and applications focusing on renewable energy, such as different types of biomass. Lignocellulosic biomass represents an abundant source of biomass suitable for energy production in various forms. The present research investigates the application possibility of pedunculate oak bark (Quercus petrea (Matt.) Liebl.) for the production of biogas via anaerobic digestion. This research has significant novelty, as only a few examples on the utilization of tree bark wastes for the production of biogas can be found in the scientific literature. One of the key factors of increasing biogas yield is the efficient hydrolysis of the basic material, which is achieved by different pretreatment methods. In this study, oak bark was pretreated by microwave energy, by extraction, and by the combination of these two methods. The semi-continuous thermophylic anaerobic digestion of untreated oak bark resulted a 76.3 ml/g volatile solid specific methane yield over a 50-day period, which was not significantly lower than methane yield gained from pretreated basic material. Results indicated that oak bark is suitable for the production of biogas even without the application of the investigated pretreatment techniques. As extraction of oak bark does not impair biogas production, the complex biorefinery utilization of oak bark in the form of extraction bark polyphenols and the subsequent anaerobic fermentation of lignocellulosic residue can be accomplished in the future.
Triaxial Compression Testing of Multicomponent Geomaterials from Quartz-Poor (Syenitic) Systems
Authors: Krmíček Lukáš , Závacký Martin 
Published: January 2018

AbstractThis paper focuses on mafic microgranular enclaves enclosed in quartz-poor igneous rocks and their effect on strength properties of the rock massif. The study examines host rock–enclave multicomponent geomaterials from enclave-bearing syenitic rocks from the Třebíč Massif exposed in the Královec quarry near Jaroměřice nad Rokytnou in the Czech Republic. A series of laboratory tests were performed to describe strength properties of individual constituents of the multicomponent geomaterials. We mainly focused on triaxial compression tests, however, rebound hardness, uniaxial compressive strength and indirect tensile strength were determined as well. The obtained results indicate that enclaves and even the contact zones between the enclaves and host rocks do not have any negative influence on the rock strength. In contrast, enclaves represent “stress concentrators” within such multicomponent systems. Strength properties of various multicomponent geomaterials are practically an unexplored topic in the field of rocks mechanics and future studies are needed to establish a robust database describing the behaviour of such geocomposites.
Sedimentological and Scanning Electron Miscroscopic Descriptions of Afowo Oil Sand Deposits, South Western Nigeria
Authors: Akinmosin A , Melifonwu C.V. 
Published: January 2018

AbstractSedimentological and scanning electron microscopic analyses of some shallow reservoir tar sand samples in parts of Southwestern Nigeria were carried out with the aim of characterizing the reservoir properties in relation to bitumen saturation and recovery efficiency. The production of impregnated tar from the sands requires the reservoir to be of good quality. A total of thirty samples were collected at different localities within the tar sand belt (ten out of these samples were selected for various reservoir quality analyses based on their textural homogeneity). The result of particle size distribution study showed that bulk of the sands is medium – coarse grained and moderately sorted. The grain morphologies are of low to high sphericity with shapes generally sub-angular to sub-rounded, implying that the sands have undergone a fairly long transportation history with depositional energy having a moderate to high velocity. The quartz content was made up of about 96% of the total mineralogical components; the sediments of the Afowo Formation can be described to be mineralogically and texturally stable. The result of the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis revealed that the oil sands contained minerals which had been precipitated and occurred as pore filling cement; these minerals include sheet kaolinite, block kaolinite, vermiform kaolinite, pyrite crystals and quartz. The SEM images also showed micro-pores ranging from 0.057µm to 0.446µm and fractures. The study showed that the clay minerals contained in the Afowo reservoir rocks were mainly kaolinite. Kaoline unlike some other clays (e.g Montimorillonite) does not swell with water, hence it is not expected to have any negative effects on the reservoir quality, especially during enhanced oil recovery operations.From overall results of the reservoir quality assessment, Oso J4 and Gbegude sands should be expected to make better reservoirs with good oil recovery efficiency due to their low content of fines and better sorting characteristics when compared to sediments of other areas.
The first record of the invasive Asian fish tapeworm (Schyzocotyle acheilognathi) from an endemic cichlid fish in Madagascar

Published: January 2018

Summary
The Asian fish tapeworm, Schyzocotyle acheilognathi (Yamaguti, 1934) (Cestoda: Bothriocephalidea), is an invasive parasite of freshwater fishes that have been reported from more than 200 freshwater fish worldwide. It was originally described from a small cyprinid, Acheilognathus rombeus, in Japan but then has spread, usually with carp, minnows or guppies, to all continents including isolated islands such as Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Cuba or Sri Lanka. In the present account, we report the first case of the infection of a native cichlid fish, Ptychochromis cf. inornatus (Perciformes: Cichlidae), endemic to Madagascar, with S. acheilognathi. The way of introduction of this parasite to the island, which is one of the world’s biodiversity hotspots, is briefly discussed.

Published: January 2018

Summary
Intestinal parasites may cause symptoms similar to acute appendicitis. Moreover, the diagnosis of parasitic infections is only done by post-operative histopathological examination of the appendices. Therefore, our aims are to assess the prevalence of intestinal parasitic infections among patients who were be appendectomized at Tanta Hospitals, Egypt and to investigate the possible association between these parasitic infections and appendicitis. To achieve these objectives, we performed a cross-sectional study including 65 patients chosen randomly who had undergone appendectomy over a period of one year from Oct 2015 to Oct 2016. Demographic data were retrieved. Complete blood picture was done. Moreover, appendiceal faecolith were examined macroscopically then by direct smear examination, formol-ether concentration technique, modified Ziehl-Nelseen stain and rapid immunochromatographic test. Histopathological examination of resected appendices was done. We found that parasitic infections were detected in 24.6 % of examined cases. Most of parasitic infections were prevalent in patients belonging to the school age group. Different parasitic infections were detected in the faecolith specimens. Moreover, Enterobious vermicularis adult female and Schistosoma mansoni granuloma were detected in histopathological sections. Also, a spectrum of pathological changes in the appendices was found ranging from lymphoid hyperplasia to acute inflammation with peritonitis. In conclusion, intestinal parasites may cause clinical picture similar to that of acute appendicitis. Therefore, careful attention to clinical history, stool examination and high eosinophilia may aid diagnosis and avoid unnecessary appendectomy. Moreover, the presence of different parasitic stages in the narrow lumen of the appendix may have a role in the development of appendicitis and this needs further studies.
Notch Suppression Collaborates with Ascl1 and Lin28 to Unleash a Regenerative Response in Fish Retina, But Not in Mice

Published: January 2018

Müller glial (MG) cells in the zebrafish retina respond to injury by acquiring retinal stem-cell characteristics. Thousands of gene expression changes are associated with this event. Key among these changes is the induction of Ascl1a and Lin28a, two reprogramming factors whose expression is necessary for retina regeneration. Whether these factors are sufficient to drive MG proliferation and subsequent neuronal-fate specification remains unknown. To test this, we conditionally expressed Ascl1a and Lin28a in the uninjured retina of male and female fish. We found that together, their forced expression only stimulates sparse MG proliferation. However, in combination with Notch signaling inhibition, widespread MG proliferation and neuron regeneration ensued. Remarkably, Ascl1 and Lin28a expression in the retina of male and female mice also stimulated sparse MG proliferation, although this was not enhanced when combined with inhibitors of Notch signaling. Lineage tracing in both fish and mice suggested that the proliferating MG generated multipotent progenitors; however, this process was much more efficient in fish than mice. Overall, our studies suggest that the overexpression of Ascl1a and Lin28a in zebrafish, in combination with inhibition of Notch signaling, can phenocopy the effects of retinal injury in Müller glia. Interestingly, Ascl1 and Lin28a seem to have similar effects in fish and mice, whereas Notch signaling may differ. Understanding the different consequences of Notch signaling inhibition in fish and mice, may suggest additional strategies for enhancing retina regeneration in mammals.SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTMechanisms underlying retina regeneration in fish may suggest strategies for stimulating this process in mammals. Here we report that forced expression of Ascl1 and Lin28a can stimulate sparse MG proliferation in fish and mice; however, only in fish does Notch signaling inhibition collaborate with Ascl1a and Lin28a to stimulate widespread MG proliferation in the uninjured retina. Discerning differences in Notch signaling between fish and mice MG may reveal strategies for stimulating retina regeneration in mammals.
