Clear aligners for patients with severe gingival recession: A case report
Authors: De Fidelibus Veronica Afonso , Singh Parmjit 
Published: October 2024

Fixed appliances are an excellent treatment approach for mild to severe malocclusions. Increasingly, aligner-based treatments are being provided as a treatment option. The latter may be preferable to fixed appliances in selected cases. A young adult with severe gingival recession is presented who was treated successfully with aligner-based treatment with minimal deterioration of the gingival tissue levels. However, limits should be applied to the buccal and labial movement of teeth to reduce the risk of worsening of the gingival recession. CPD/Clinical Relevance: Aligner-based treatment may be preferable for orthodontic patients with severe gingival recession.

Published: October 2024

Treating patients with prognathic maxillae is a multifaceted process, especially when dealing with thalassaemia complications. This case study addresses the issue of severe maxillary protrusion in a woman living with β-thalassaemia major who had presented with pronounced maxillary protrusion, lip incompetence and an everted upper lip. Following initial alignment and levelling using the 0.018inch standard edgewise system, the patient underwent a Le Fort I osteotomy procedure. Segmental osteotomy was ruled out owing to the heightened risk of excessive bleeding. The outcomes demonstrated successful management of the thalassaemic patient through presurgical orthodontics, LeFort I osteotomy, and subsequent post-surgical orthodontics and periodontics. The patient exhibited improved facial aesthetics after an active treatment period of 4 years. CPD/Clinical Relevance: Orthodontic treatment for patients with β-thalassaemia major and skeletal Class II malocclusion with prognathic maxillae requires a multidisciplinary approach, including Le Fort I osteotomy and careful management of elevated bleeding risks

Published: October 2024

Background
Longevity is increasing worldwide due to improvements in healthcare and living standards. Aging is often associated with disability and multiple health concerns. To address these challenges, effective interventions are essential. This study investigated potential age-related declines in gait, balance, and strength. We also sought to assess any relationships between these three parameters and explore potential differences between women and men.

Methods
Healthy individuals over 50 years of age were recruited for this cross-sectional study. Upper extremity (grip) strength and lower extremity (knee) strength of the dominant side were measured. Static balance was performed on the force plate in different situations each for 30 seconds: bilateral stance with eyes open, bilateral stance with eyes closed, as well as dominant leg and non-dominant leg unilateral stance with eyes open. Gait was measured during level walking using an optical motion capture system. Additionally, the dynamic stability margin (DSM) was calculated for the level walking trials.

Results
The study results indicated that gait parameters were not significantly affected by age (p≥0.12), while knee and grip strength, along with several balance parameters, showed a significant decline with age. All individuals were able to maintain their bipedal balance, but their center of pressure movement increased significantly by age (p≤0.028). Z-scores were calculated to compare significant age parameters. Unipedal stance time was found to be the most affected by age compared to other contributing factors (p≤0.001). The duration of unipedal balance showed the most significant change per decade (non-dominant: -0.62 SDs; dominant: -0.53 SDs), while strength measures exhibited the lowest amount of change per decade (grip strength: -0.34 SDs; knee strength: -0.26 SDs). Sex differences were observed exclusively in strength parameters, with no discernible impact on the decline in balance parameters.

Conclusions
These findings suggest that the duration of unipedal stance can serve as a reliable and gender-independent measure of neuromuscular aging for both elderly male and female subjects.
Have my back as I get back to work—Experiences of stakeholder support in returning to work after sick leave due to chronic pain: A qualitative interview study
Authors: Lundin Åse , Ekman Inger , Andréll Paulin , Lundberg Mari , Wallström Sara 
Published: October 2024

Background
Chronic pain (pain > 3 months) is a disabling condition affecting around one fifth of the population. Chronic pain significantly affects a person’s psychological and physical health and often interferes with the ability to work. It is one of the most common reasons for extended sick leave and persons with chronic pain often have difficulties returning to work. Interpreting the experiences of currently available is necessary in order to facilitate a return to working life. Therefore, this study aimed to describe and interpret the meaning of support during the return-to-work process for persons on sick leave due to chronic pain.

Method
A qualitative interview study was conducted with 14 participants (12 women and 2 men) who experienced sick leave due to chronic pain. The participants were recruited through patient organizations focusing on pain or pain-related conditions. Collected data was analyzed using a phenomenological hermeneutical approach.

Results
Have my back as I get back to work was the theme of the analysis, along with six subthemes. Being able to work was important for the participants. However, they often experienced returning to work was a battle for support, dealing with fragmentized backing from the involved stakeholders. Participants with access to collaborative support involving competent care, recognition and the possibility to influence their work felt valuable and capable as persons and workers. Thus, they were provided conditions allowing a successful re-entry into the workplace.

Conclusions
Our findings contribute to an enhanced understanding of the importance of stakeholder support in persons with chronic pain re-entering the workplace after an extended break due to sick leave. Through an inclusive, collaborative and flexible approach involving all stakeholders working towards the same goal, a person with chronic pain can feel supported in developing and cultivating the capabilities necessary to manage life and work.

Published: October 2024

PurposeThe objective of the study was to initially validate the hypothesis about the relationship between the pelvic tilt angle in the saggital plane and the functional state of muscles stabilising the lumbo-pelvic-hip (LPH) complex expressed as a change in their stiffness in a tensiomyography examination.Materials and methodsForty five women aged 19–30 years took part in an observational (cross-sectional) study. The examination involved measurements using the tensiomyography method (TMG). The stiffness of muscles stabilising the LPH complex expressed as a maximal muscle displacement (Dm variable) was assessed and the relationship between muscle stiffness and the value of the pelvic tilt (PT) in the sagittal plane was determined.ResultsThe analysis showed significant differences in the values of medians of the muscle displacement (Dm) values in groups identified in terms of the value of pelvic tilt (Table 1) for Erector Spinae (ES) muscles (p = 0.0012), Gluteus Maximus (GM) muscles (p = 0.0004), Rectus Abdominis (RA) muscles (p = 0.0005), Obliquus abdominis externus (OAE) muscles (p = 0.0002*) and Rectus Femoris (RF) muscles (p = 0.0071). The results of the correlation analysis performed using the Spearman rho correlation coefficient between the value of pelvic tilt and muscle stiffness (Dm) show the following significant relations for ES muscles (p = 0<0.0001), GM muscles (p<0.0001), RA muscles (p<0.0001) and OAE muscles (p<0.0001). However, a clear direction of changes in stiffness in accordance with the description of relations defined as Lower Crossed Syndrome was not confirmed.ConclusionsA tensiomyographic examination did not show clear relations between the value of pelvic tilt and stiffness of muscles stabilising the lumbar-pelvic-hip complex. The mechanism of Lower Crossed Syndrome (LCS) may be not the only model explaining the relations between musculofascial structures of the hip-lumbar area. The implications of the LCS should not be the only basis for the therapy of disorders resulting from an incorrect position of the pelvis in the sagittal plane.

Abstract
Hardware testing has always been the core of hardware development, and improving the performance and efficiency of hardware testing is very important for hardware development. Because hardware quality management is insufficient, many large hardware tools were developed using manual workshop technology in the past and could hardly be maintained. This can lead to the cancellation of the project, causing major personnel and property losses. Improving hardware quality and ensuring security are very complex problems. Hardware testing is usually conducted through manual and automatic testing, and the limitations of manual testing are increasingly obvious. So hardware automatic testing technology has attracted people’s attention in recent years. It has become an important research direction in the field hardware testing and can overcome many problems of traditional testing methods. Strict test rules, based on standards and scores, provide a fully automated test process. With the continuous improvement of network technology, the functions and scope of hardware are constantly enriched and expanded. With the acceleration of hardware updates and development, this has brought a heavy burden to the previous hardware testing work. The purpose of this article was to study the application of machine learning technology in the field of hardware automatic testing and provide an appropriate theoretical basis for optimizing testing methods. This article introduced the research methods of hardware automatic testing technology, introduced three automatic testing framework models, and summarized the application of machine learning in hardware testing. It included hardware security and reliability analysis, hardware defect prediction, and source-based research. Then, this article studied the defect prediction model and machine learning algorithm and constructed a hardware defect prediction model based on machine learning based on the theory. First, the data were preprocessed, and then, the Stacking method was used to build a comprehensive prediction model, and four prediction results evaluation indicators were established. In the experiment part, the defect prediction results of the hardware automatic test model were studied. The results showed that the hardware defect prediction model based on machine learning had higher accuracy, recall rate, F_measure and area under curve. Compared with other models, the average accuracy of the hardware defect prediction model in this article was 0.092 higher, which was more suitable for automatic hardware testing and analysis.

Abstract

Objectives
Infertility affects approximately 15 % of couples globally, with 50 % cases of male factor infertility. Precise assessment of spermatogenesis is essential for evaluating male infertility. Recent studies suggest serum inhibin B as a promising biomarker for testicular function. This study aims to evaluate the diagnostic utility of serum inhibin B in predicting male infertility, particularly focusing on its relationship with sperm count.

Methods
A cross-sectional study was conducted on 80 adult men (mean age 31.4 ± 6.89 years) presenting with infertility at gynecology and urology outpatient departments. Semen analysis was performed following WHO (2010) guidelines, and serum inhibin B levels were quantified. The correlation between serum inhibin B levels and sperm parameters was assessed using Pearson’s correlation test. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was employed to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of serum inhibin B and the inhibin B/FSH ratio for non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA) and oligozoospermia.

Results
A significant positive correlation was observed between serum inhibin B and sperm count (r=0.94, p<0.001). ROC analysis demonstrated that the inhibin B/FSH ratio had the highest diagnostic accuracy for NOA and oligozoospermia (AUC=0.986), with sensitivity of 100 % and specificity of 91.67 %. Serum inhibin B alone also showed high diagnostic value (AUC=0.965 for NOA and 0.969 for oligozoospermia).

Conclusions
Serum inhibin B is a reliable biomarker for assessing male infertility, particularly in evaluating spermatogenic function. The inhibin B/FSH ratio provides superior diagnostic accuracy for NOA and oligozoospermia, offering valuable clinical utility in male infertility diagnosis.

Abstract
The ramp-up of production lines as a result of changing product variants or production processes puts battery cell manufacturers under enormous quality and cost pressure due to high reject rates. A control system based on artificial intelligence methods can help to speed up the start-up processes. The InTeAn research project developed a procedure for developing a process control system to reduce ramp-up times and costs in battery cell production.

Published: October 2024

Abstract
The application of process mining opens up a wide range of possibilities for logistics, such as the identification of bottlenecks, the optimization of throughput times and the more efficient use of resources. However, in an area as dynamic and vulnerable as logistics, there are specific challenges that make the application of process mining difficult and therefore require special attention. A structured approach is therefore required to successfully implement process mining in practice. This publication presents a methodology that supports companies in effectively integrating process mining into their internal logistics operations. It includes project initialization, the extraction and preparation of the data to be analyzed, the execution of analyses, the interpretation of the results and the derivation of measures.

Published: October 2024

Randolpho Rubenso Goldmano pateikta kritika Kurto Gödelio ontologiniam įrodymui pabrėžė ligi tol praktiškai nepastebėtą šio įrodymo silpnybę. Anot Goldmano, tam, kad samprotavimas būtų iš tiesų sėkmingas, reikalinga sukurti jam taikomąją semantiką. Kadangi Dievą suprantame priskirdami jam konkrečias savybes, viena iš taikomosios semantikos užduočių kaip tik ir yra formalios įrodymo pateikties susiejimas su šiais teologiškai reikšmingais turiniais. Vis dėlto, Goldmano teigimu, mėginimai tai padaryti kelia rimtų iššūkių: bandant išreikšti įrodymą natūralia bei teologiškai tinkama kalba daugybė sakinių joje tampa beprasmiai, todėl pažeidžiamas dvireikšmiškumo principas. Šiame straipsnyje analizuojami skirtingi būdai spręsti šį sunkumą, kaip galutinį siūlymą pateikiant sprendimą, kurio orientyras yra Bertrand’o Russello apibrėžiamųjų deskripcijų teorija: sakinius, figūruojančius šioje natūralios kalbos interpretacijoje, siūloma traktuoti kaip konjunkcijas – tai leidžia atsikratyti beprasmių sakinių bei išsaugoti dvireikšmiškumo principą.

Published: October 2024

Abstract
Gut microbiota has complex immune functions, related to different pathologies, including multiple sclerosis (MS).This study evaluated the influence of treatments on gut microbiota in people with MS (PwMS). The research comprised 60 participants, including 39 PwMS and 21 healthy controls (HC). Among the PwMS, 20 were prescribed a disease-modifying therapy (DMT), either interferon beta1a or teriflunomide, while 19 received a combination of classical DMT and an immunoglobulin Y (IgY) supplement. For each participant, two sets of gut samples were collected: one at the study's outset and another after two months. Alpha and beta diversity analyses revealed no significant differences between groups. In comparison to the HC, the MS group exhibited an increase in Prevotella stercorea and a decrease in Faecalibacterium prausnitzii. Following treatment, individuals with MS showed enrichment in Lachnospiraceae and Streptococcus. The second sample, compared to the first one, demonstrated an increase in Bifidobacterium angulatum and a decrease in Oscillospira for individuals with MS. Gut microbiota diversity in PwMS is not significantly different to HC. However, specific taxonomic changes indicate the presence of a dysbiosis state. The use of DMTs and immunoglobulin Y supplements may contribute to alterations in microbial composition, potentially leading to the restoration of a healthier microbiome.
Patterns of protein synthesis in the budding yeast cell cycle: variable or constant?
Authors: No Eun-Gyu , Blank Heidi M , Polymenis Michael 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
Proteins are the principal macromolecular constituent of proliferating cells, and protein synthesis is viewed as a primary metric of cell growth. While there are celebrated examples of proteins whose levels are periodic in the cell cycle (e.g., cyclins), the concentration of most proteins was not thought to change in the cell cycle, but some recent results challenge this notion. The ‘bulk’ protein is the focus of this article, specifically the rate of its synthesis, in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Analyse de discours et inégalités sociales: de l’empathie pour les invisibles à l’engagement pour le commun
Authors: Rabatel Alain 
Published: October 2024

Résumé: L’article analyse le lien entre inégalités sociales et invisibilité puis étudie quelques exemples de luttes de reconnaissance. Il interroge ensuite les précautions à prendre pour que l’analyse de discours rende compte de l’invisibilité sociale lorsqu’elle est redoublée par l’invisibilité médiatique et linguistique – avec des phénomènes d’effacement énonciatif, de naturalisation, de prise en compte énonciative qui ne vont pas jusqu’à la prise en charge. À cette fin, il liste des conditions épistémologiques, méthodologiques et théoriques faisant système concernant: l’articulation entre linguistique et réalité extralinguistique; la problématisation de la notion de représentation; le rapport des corpus marginaux à la norme; l’interprétation de la dualité marqué/non marqué en termes de continuums; la prise en compte des stratégies de communication formatées par les situations, par les choix discursifs révélateurs des intentions des locuteurs; une analyse de discours critique (aux antipodes des postures de dénonciation en appui sur des vérités monologiques); le choix de l’interdisciplinarité; l’analyse empathique – non seulement envers différents acteurs, mais envers des groupes, des façons de penser conflictuelles –, afin de pouvoir mieux penser la place et la contribution des uns et des autres dans la co-construction d’un (bien) commun partagé. Mots-clés: Invisibilité sociale; mobilité empathique; engagement désengagé; commun; interdisciplinarité.Abstract: The paper first examines the relationship between social inequalities and invisibility as well as several examples of battles for recognition. It then raises the question of the precautions that should be taken so that discourse analysis illustrate social invisibility doubled by a media-related and linguistic invisibility – related to phenomena of enunciative effacement, naturalization, enunciative consideration which do not lead to commitment (“prise en charge”). In this respect, the paper enumerates the epistemological, methodological and theoretical conditions that are creating a system: the relationships between linguistics and extralinguistic reality; the problematization of the notion of representation; the relationships between marginal corpora and the norm; the interpretation of the marked/non-marked dichotomy in terms of continuums; the consideration of communication strategies formatted by situations and discursive choices revealing the speakers’ intentions; a critical discourse analysis (as opposed to the postures of denunciation supporting monological truths); the choice of interdisciplinarity; empathic analysis – not only towards different actors but towards groups or conflictual ways of thinking –, in order to better conceptualize everyone’s place and contribution in the co-construction of a shared common good.Keywords: Social Invisibility; Empathic Mobility; Disengaged Commitment; Commons; Interdisciplinarity.
