AbstractHospital acquired infections greatly affect recovery and survival in pediatric surgical patients. We evaluated prevalence and antimicrobial resistance of ESKAPE pathogens in neonates and infants subjected to cardiac surgery in a tertiary hospital in Central Kazakhstan between 2019 and 2023 (2,278 patients) using routine methods of microbiological detection. ESKAPE pathogens were found in 1,899 out of 2,957 samples (Staphylococcus aureus – 35.3%, Klebsiella pneumoniae – 27.8%, Acinetobacter baumannii – 14.5%, Pseudomonas aeruginosa – 12.4%, Enterobacter sp. – 8.8%, Enterococcus faecium – 1.2%). The total prevalence of ESKAPE increased significantly from 45.1 to 76.9% (P = 0.005) during the study period. The resistance significantly increased in methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA, from 13.7 to 41.9%, P = 0.041) but decreased in carbapenem-resistant P. aeruginosa (from 64.3 to 37.7%, P = 0.037) and carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii (from 48.5 to 19.1%, P = 0.039). Gradual but non-significant changes were shown in third-generation cephalosporin resistant K. pneumoniae (from 63.6 to 45.2%) and carbapenem-resistant K. pneumoniae (from 0 to 8.3%). The relative prevalence of ESKAPE pathogens steadily increased in our pediatric cardiac surgery patients in 2019–2023. The most frequent were S. aureus, K. pneumoniae, and A. baumannii, with dramatically increasing tendencies for MRSA. Our results highlight the necessity for a well-designed infection control strategy and constant microbiological monitoring in pediatric cardiac surgery departments.

Published: August 2024

AbstractBlends of germinated maize and germinated lentil (100:0, 85:15, 70:30, 55:45, and 40:60) were utilised for preparation of chips by air frying. Higher contents of protein, ash, total phenols, flavonoids and antioxidant activity were confirmed in germinated flours through analysis of FTIR spectra. Doughs from blends containing higher amounts of germinated lentil flour showed improved viscoelastic behaviour indicating better protein network as compared to maize dough. Significant (P ≤ 0.05) variation was observed in colour and hardness of air fried chips prepared from various blends. The 70:30 blend was found most acceptable based on sensory evaluation. Chips from this formulation were found superior to ungerminated maize chips in terms of protein digestibility and mineral composition.

: to address common lid margin sequalae presented in steven Johnson syndrome and to assess the outcome of posterior lamellar replacement with oral mucous membrane graft. : This single center longitudinal study was conducted in Ispahani Islamia Eye Institute and Hospital. 56 diagnosed cases of Steven Johnson syndrome with lid margin sequalae during the period of July 2020 to June 2023 were included in the study. Patients with ocular cicatrizing pemphigoid and chemical burn were excluded from the study. Demographic profile, presenting lid margin sequalae, outcome of surgery and complication after intervention and its management were properly evaluated and recorded. : A total of 98 eyelids (upper and lower) in 56 patients were evaluated. The Mean age was 38.33 ± 15.22 years (range 6 – 70 years). 21 patients were male and 35 were female (male: female=1:1.66). 14 patients had unilateral defect and 42 patients have bilateral defect. Most common lid margin sequalae was lid margin keratinization (85.71%), distichiasis (62.5%), trichiasis (21.42%) and entropion (8.92%). All lid margin defect were successfully corrected by posterior lamellar replacement with oral mucous membrane graft. During 6 months post-operative follow up, significant symptomatic relief from epiphora, foreign body sensation, pain and photophobia were achieved in all patients. There was remarkable reduction of conjunctival inflammation (88.63%) and persistent corneal epithelial defect (71.42%). Mean visual acuity was significantly improved. Common complications of the surgery were misdirected lashes (7.14%), dislodgement of graft (2.04%%), and recurrent entropion (2.04%). All complication was successfully managed through appropriate second procedure.Posterior lamellar resection with an oral mucous membrane graft for modifying lid margin defects in Steven-Johnson syndrome shows promising results.

Non-invasive salivary biomarkers are being investigated as they may be helpful in predicting skeletal age. This study was conducted to evaluate the correlation between salivary insulin-like growth factor-1, salivary alkaline phosphatase, cervical vertebrae maturation stages and chronological age in the assessment of skeletal age during the growth period. This study also aims to find associations with mandibular base length and maxillary base length. Total 80 eligible subjects aged 7 to 21 years were selected and divided into two gender-specific groups (41 males, 39 females). A further subdivision was made on the basis of six cervical vertebral maturation stages from the lateral cephalogram. The chronological age was given for each subject, and The maxillary base length and the length of the mandibular base was calculated from the impressions on the lateral cephalogram. Saliva samples were collected from each subject to determine salivary IGF-1 and ALP levels using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The data obtained was statistically analysed using SPSS (20.0) software. It was found that the mean IGF-1 activity in saliva was highest at CVMI stage 3 and the highest mean ALP levels in saliva occurred in males at CVMI stage 3 and in females at CVMI stage 4. Mean salivary ALP and IGF-1 levels correlate well with . Salivary ALP levels show a correlation with chronological age and could also be used as a diagnostic model to predict cervical stage. The diagnostic levels of certain biomarkers that appear in human saliva are representative of an individual's circumpubertal growth spurt. The collective pattern of increase and decrease in the sample during the circumpubertal stages is essential to study for orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning.

The influence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) can be seen in every nook and corner of life. It has become an essential part of human life. Its influence in medical field is also noticeable but in certain aspects utilization of AI in dentistry has not been up to a great extent. This questionnaire-based survey was done to assess the knowledge, attitude and behaviour of dental students about AI. A self-administered closed ended questionnaire consisting of 36 questions was distributed among 3100 interns and post graduate students studying in different parts of Rajasthan. The questionnaire consisted of demographic details of respondents as well as fundamental KAP towards AI.Response rate was 90.32%. The results showed that about 56.75% of respondents had poor knowledge of AI and its application in dentistry. Although their attitude towards AI was fair (48.75%) but their practical experience of using AI was poor (57.89%). There was a significant difference between the KAP of postgraduates when compared to interns (p value &#60; 0.05). Pearsons’s correlation test showed that there was no correlation between knowledge and attitude or knowledge with behaviour as well as attitude and behaviour.There is a lack of awareness about the use of AI in dentistry among dental students. So, there is a need for implementation of practical courses to improve the knowledge as well as practice of AI in dentistry.

The aim of the study was to evaluate the efficacy of low-level laser therapy in enhancing the rate of orthodontic tooth movement using β glucoronidase and pentraxin-3 (TNF) biomarkers in gingival crevicular fluid.A split-mouth design was used in 16 subjects (8 experimental and 8 controlled) aged 14 to 25 years, who’s maxillary first premolars were extracted. A gallium-aluminium-arsenide semiconductor diode laser (wavelength, 810 nm; energy density, 10 J/cm2; power output, 100 mW) delivered low-level laser therapy to the experimental canine undergoing distalization at 10 points. The control canine was distalized without low-level laser therapy. The experimental and control canines were distalized using a force of 150 g provided by nickel-titanium closed coil springs. Gingival crevicular fluid was collected at 5 time points from the control and experimental sides, and the levels of β glucoronidase and pentraxin-3 were analysed by enzyme-linked immuno-sorbent assay (ELISA). The rate of canine retraction was calculated by using ortho analyser software.Increased levels of β glucoronidase and pentraxin-3 were observed in the experimental canines compared with the control canines (P &#60;0.001). Cumulative tooth movements over an 8-week experimental period were greater for the experimental canines compared with the control canines. A positive correlation existed between the β glucoronidase and pentraxin-3 levels and the amounts of tooth movement across all time intervals.Low level laser therapy in adjunct with continuous and light forces leads to increase in β glucoronidase and pentraxin-3 leading to accelerated orthodontic tooth movement.: Low-level laser therapy fastens the rate of canine retraction thus accelerating the orthodontic tooth movement. The levels of β glucoronidase and Pentraxin 5 are increased significantly after laser irradiation which aids in accelerating orthodontic tooth movement.
Features and Factors of Digitalization in the Modern Economy
Authors: Blinichkina N. Yu. 
Published: August 2024

The article presents the main conclusions from an investigation of the ways in which factors involved in digitalization stimulate the processes required for digital transformation. Despite the central place that digitalization occupies in modern economic research, neither the factors that contribute to digitalization nor how they affect the dynamics of digital transformation have been sufficiently elucidated. Such an examination would apply neoclassical growth theory (production functions) to identify the factors in digitalization in order to highlight how capital and innovation are the main driving forces behind digital processes. The article carries out a correlation analysis using the pair correlation method on officially published statistical data from 127 countries. The results fall into four phases of digital development and enable an assessment of the varying impact of digitalization factors on the digital transformation process in accordance with these phases. The resulting analysis indicates that capital is less important for digitalization than innovation, while the impact of both those factors decreases as digital development progresses. On the assumption that digitalization is currently slowing down among the leaders in digital advancement, Russia (like many countries that have the necessary potential) has an opportunity to improve the relative standing of its digital economy. In order to achieve that goal, this research would suggest increasing the country’s network readiness and developing human capital while also harnessing innovation as the main driver of digital transformation. This research topic is relevant to evaluating and enhancing Russia’s prospects for socio-economic development.

Published: August 2024

Dalam menerapkan kaidah pertambangan yang baik, Kepmen ESDM No 1827 memberi pedoman tentang pelaksanaan konservasi batubara yang salah satunya dengan penambangan bersama pada perbatasan IUP. Penambangan bersama disebut dengan Sharing Wall Project yang bertujuan untuk mengoptimalkan pencapaian recovery penambangan cadangan marginal. Secara teknis, Sharing Wall Project baru bisa dikerjakan apabila kedua perusahaan menambang secara bersamaan di perbatasan IUP dengan parameter geometri dan kebijakan yang telah disepakati sebelumnya. Oleh karena itu diperlukan adanya Opsi Design LOM yang aman dikerjakan selama proses persiapan dilakukan juga untuk mengantisipasi jika tidak terjadi kesepakatan kerjasama. Pembuatan Opsi Design LOM harus mempertimbangkan analisis kestabilan lereng dan potensi jumlah cadangan marginal yang tertinggal. Faktor yang mempengaruhi hasil analisis kestabilan lereng adalah muka air tanah dan overall slope design. Rekomendasi geotek setelah menyatakan Opsi Design LOM aman adalah dengan menambah data muka air tanah dan material properties di area rehandle disposal untuk memperkuat analisis berikutnya. Batubara marginal yang tidak tertambang di perbatasan IUP menjadi gain saat kerjasama Sharing Wall Project dikerjakan. Berdasarkan perhitungan cadangan Opsi Design LOM menghasilkan gain batubara sebesar 2.6 juta ton total untuk kedua perusahaan. Hal ini berarti tambahan pembayaran royalti kepada Pemerintah dari hasil perolehan batubara cadangan marginal di perbatasan IUP.
