Abstract
We report the discovery of the transiting planet GJ 238 b, with a radius of 0.566 ± 0.014 R
⊕ (1.064 ± 0.026 times the radius of Mars) and an orbital period of 1.74 days. The transit signal was detected by the TESS mission and designated TOI-486.01. The star’s position close to the southern ecliptic pole allows for almost continuous observations by TESS when it is observing the southern sky. The host star is an M2.5 dwarf with V = 11.57 ± 0.02 mag, K = 7.030 ± 0.023 mag, a distance of 15.2156 ± 0.0030 pc, a mass of

Éléments de réflexion issus de notre travail sur l’activité des enseignants des écoles primaires en Tunisie
Authors: Hadj Amor Habib 
Published: May 2024

Dans cet article, nous rendons compte de la problématique saisie dans la thèse de doctorat réalisée en cotutelle entre l’Université de Lyon 2 et l’Université de Tunis. Il s’agit de faire le point sur l’activité des enseignants des écoles primaires en Tunisie qui est au carrefour de trois facteurs que l’on considère à la fois complémentaires et interdépendants : la formation, l’ordinaire des pratiques et la relation avec l’inspection. L’intérêt témoigné à ces facteurs montre qu’on ne peut pas analyser l’activité enseignante comme un mécanisme abstrait totalement indépendant de la formation initiale, des pratiques mises en œuvre et de la relation avec la hiérarchie de proximité (l’inspection).

Published: May 2024

ABSTRACT

Introduction:
Preservation of primary teeth is essential for optimal oral health in children; however, there is limited research on primary tooth extraction patterns in India. This study aimed to investigate the reasons for and patterns of primary tooth extraction in children in an Indian tertiary care dental setting.

Methodology:
This retrospective cross-sectional study analyzed dental records of children aged up to 14 years who underwent tooth extraction under local anesthesia from January to December 2023. Demographic data, reasons for extraction, and tooth types extracted were collected and analyzed using descriptive statistics and the Chi-square test.

Results:
Among the 261 subjects studied, there were 132 males and 129 females. Dental caries was the leading cause of extraction (42.6%), followed by mobility (20.8%) and over-retention (17.3%). Maxillary teeth were extracted more frequently than mandibular teeth, with central incisors being the most commonly extracted.

Conclusion:
This study highlights the prevalence of dental caries as the primary reason for primary tooth extraction in Indian children. Gender-specific differences were observed in extraction reasons, and maxillary teeth were more frequently extracted than mandibular teeth. These findings emphasize the importance of targeted preventive strategies to address dental caries and promote optimal oral health in children in India.

Published: May 2024

ABSTRACT

Introduction:
Pain management in pediatric dentistry is crucial for ensuring positive treatment outcomes and reducing patient suffering. This study aimed to evaluate postoperative discomfort and analgesic usage among pediatric dental patients undergoing various procedures in India.

Methodology:
A cross-sectional study was conducted at a tertiary care dental hospital in India from June 2023 to December 2023. A total of 150 pediatric patients aged 2–18 years who underwent different dental procedures were included. Data on postoperative discomfort and analgesic usage were collected immediately following the procedure and during follow-up phone calls.

Results:
Significant differences were found in immediate postoperative discomfort following pulpotomy (P = 0.03). Patients receiving primary stainless steel crowns (SSCs) alone or in combination with pulpotomy were significantly more likely to report discomfort (P < 0.001 and P < 0.05, respectively). No significant associations were observed between discomfort and sealants, preventive resin restorations, 1- or 2-surface restorations, or extractions. Over-the-counter analgesic usage was prevalent, particularly following SSC placement.

Conclusion:
This study highlights the variability in postoperative discomfort among pediatric dental patients undergoing different procedures in India. Tailored pain management strategies based on specific procedures are essential to minimize discomfort and improve patient outcomes in pediatric dentistry.

Published: May 2024

ABSTRACT

Introduction:
The study examined mandibular premolars’ root and canal distribution across genders and sides.

Materials and Methods:
Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging of mandibular premolars was performed using SINORA ORTHOPHOS XG 3D, with specific parameters set.

Results:
Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging of 100 participants revealed mostly single-rooted premolars, with slight variations, notably among females. Mandibular first premolars predominantly had single canals and roots, with a higher occurrence of two canals in females. Statistical analysis showed no significant gender- or side-based differences in root distribution. The findings underscore gender-specific variations in premolar morphology, highlighting the importance of tailored treatment planning, especially for the left side.

Conclusion:
While CBCT proves valuable, further research is needed to optimize its utility in endodontic decision-making.

Published: May 2024

ABSTRACT

Aim:
The aim of this study was to evaluate how different post-surface treatments affect the ability of luting cement to bond three different dental post materials to a resinous surface.

Materials and Methods:
The study analyzed a total of 108 posts categorized into three main groups: stainless steel, cast, and fiber posts. Next, the core group was divided into four subgroups (n = 9) according to the type of surface treatment applied: no surface treatment (NS), silanization (SZ), sandblasting (SB), and sandblasting plus silanization (SBSZ).

Results:
Stainless steel posts exhibited the lowest bond strength, whereas fiber posts demonstrated the highest shear bond strength. When it comes to surface treatments, dental post-surfaces treated with sandblasting have been found to exhibit the highest bond strength, outperforming other methods.

Conclusion:
Comparing all methods of surface modification, sandblasting with 50 um Al2O3 particles demonstrated the strongest connection.

Published: May 2024

ABSTRACT

Introduction:
Orthodontic treatment can alter the oral environment, leading to plaque accumulation and changes in microbial colonization. This study aimed to assess microbiological changes in 10 to 16-year-old children undergoing fixed orthodontic treatment.

Methodology:
The study included children aged 10–16 years, with one group wearing fixed orthodontic appliances and a control group without brackets. Data on salivary pH, buffer capacity, Streptococcus mutans, and Lactobacillus spp were collected at baseline and after 6 months. Logistic regression models evaluated associations between orthodontic treatment and elevated bacterial levels, adjusting for age, gender, pH, and buffer capacity.

Results:
Wearing fixed orthodontic appliances was significantly associated with elevated Streptococcus mutans (aOR: 6.62, 95% CI: 1.91–21.88) and Lactobacillus spp (aOR: 9.49, 95% CI: 2.57–35.07). Gender showed a significant association with Lactobacillus spp levels (aOR: 0.28, 95% CI: 0.09–0.87).

Conclusion:
Fixed orthodontic appliances significantly impact oral microbial changes, underscoring the need for proper oral hygiene during orthodontic treatment to reduce dental caries risk.

Authors: Aggarwal Sulakshna , Bains Lovenish , Mishra Anurag , Dabas Aashima , Goel Madhav , Afsar Aiman Perween 
Published: May 2024

Background:
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 is a severe respiratory infection that spreads through infected droplets. Facemasks have been mandated by the World Health Organization and Centers for Disease Control as the cornerstone for preventing the spread of infection among healthcare workers. However, despite the ubiquitous use of masks, many healthcare professionals are unaware of their properties and proper use. Therefore, the study aims to assess the awareness, practices followed, and problems faced in the use of facemasks among medical professionals in a coronavirus disease (COVID)-dedicated hospital.

Methodology:
An e-questionnaire-based survey was conducted among medical professionals working in a tertiary care (COVID-dedicated) hospital in North India. The questionnaire tested for the knowledge and awareness on properties of facemasks, problems faced on regular or prolonged use, and removal, storage, and disposal practices among professionals.

Results:
The survey was sent to 368 medical professionals with a response rate of 45.65%. About 43.3% of the participants were aware of the properties of the N95 facemask, and 26% of the health professionals checked for the proper fit of the mask after putting it on. Discomfort and sweat issues were the most common problems reported by 84% and 69.33% of participants, respectively. About 86% of the participants had the knowledge of appropriate removal of the mask, but only one-third were aware of the proper mask disposal practices.

Conclusion:
Knowledge about the properties of facemasks, their use, and disposal practices among the North Indian healthcare professionals was found to be significantly lower than in western countries; however, the awareness increased with experience in the participants studied (P < 0.001). As it is the young medical force at the forefront to tackle the menace, regular training and accurate information on facemask usage must be disseminated via institutional training programs to prevent the risk of infection and equip the frontline workers to share this knowledge with the community further.

Authors: Kaur Sahi Puneet , Meena Priyanka , Pallavi  , Mandal Anirban , Dabas Aashima 
Published: May 2024

Background:
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic-related refocusing of healthcare along with needs for social distancing, complete or partial lockdowns, and burgeoning economic crisis has created immense barriers to the access of healthcare services by the non-COVID patients.

Aim:
We aimed to assess the perspectives of Indian healthcare workers taking care of pediatric patients on the barriers to healthcare delivery to pediatric non-COVID illnesses.

Methods:
Indian healthcare workers, working in both public and private sectors, taking care of pediatric patients were surveyed using a predesigned pretested online questionnaire over a period of 1 month (May 2020). The impact on healthcare delivery was graded using a Likert scale.

Results:
Of the total of 356 responses obtained, 75.3% reported a significant negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on delivery of healthcare to non-COVID pediatric patients. Respondents of government and COVID hospitals reported a significantly worse impact than private (P = 0.0002) and non-COVID hospitals (P = 0.01), respectively. Significant decline in number of non-COVID patients attending outpatient department (86.2%), admitted in wards (71.6%), number of routine (81.7%) and emergency surgeries (60.5%), number of diagnostic procedures (61.2%), and scheduled therapies (50.2%) was reported by the surveyed healthcare workers. Most important factors for disrupted healthcare delivery were restricted travel (78.3%) and fear of contracting COVID-19 (68.8%). Telemedicine (67.4%) was the commonest alternate strategy deployed for continuing care of patients.

Conclusion:
Several challenges exist to maintain the continuity of healthcare services to pediatric non-COVID patients especially in those with chronic diseases, poor financial background, and follow-up in COVID government hospitals. Use of telemedicine, strategic preplanning, strengthening peripheral healthcare, and optimal resource reallocation may help reduce the broader health impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
