Background: Dental caries is frequently observed in children. Increasing the awareness of oral health among school-age children is anticipated to decrease the occurrence of dental caries. Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of dental caries among students in Medowo III elementary school using dmft/DMFT index. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out among the entire student at Medowo III elementary school. The dental caries of each student were assessed using the dmft and DMFT indices. The assessment of variable distribution was conducted using the Shapiro-Wilk test. The dmft/DMFT values were compared between different age groups and genders using either the Student's t-test or the Mann-Whitney test. The data was processed using a significance level of p < 0.05. Results: The study included a total of 43 students. The average caries index in primary dentitions was markedly greater than in permanent dentitions. According to WHO, the prevalence of dental caries was very high in the primary dentition of students aged 7-9 years. No notable disparities were detected between female and male students in relation to the caries index of both primary and permanent teeth. However, the average caries index of primary teeth was considerably higher in middle-childhood students compared to preadolescence students. Conclusion: The dental caries prevalence among students in Medowo III elementary school were still high. Therefore, oral health prevention program was needed in order to enhance the community's awareness toward dental caries.

Authors: Malaeva E. G. , Stoma I. O. 
Published: June 2024

Purpose. To compare the gut microbiota in patients with an anamnesis of liver cirrhosis of less than and more than 10 years. Materials and methods. A one-stage study and metagenomic fecal sequencing of 40 hospitalized patients with liver cirrhosis were conducted, of which 35 were with a history of cirrhosis of less than 10 years and 5 — more than 10 years. High-throughput sequencing was performed using a MiSeq genetic analyzer (Illumina, USA) and a protocol based on analysis of 16s rRNA gene variable regions. The study was registered in Clinicaltrials.gov (NCT05335213). Data analysis was performed using Kraken2 algorithm. The analysis of the difference in the proportional composition of the microbiome between the groups was carried out using polynomial Dirichlet modeling (Likelihood-Ratio-Test Statistics: Several Sample Dirichlet-Multinomial Test Comparison), the Mann-Whitney test with preliminary data transformation by CLR transformation (Centered log ratio transform), differential analysis of gene expression based on negative binomial distribution (DESeq2). The significance level α assumed to be 0.05. Results. In patients with liver cirrhosis, the dominant phylotypes of fecal microbiota are Firmicutes, Bacteroidetes, Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, minor components include taxa Aquificae, Coprothermobacterota, Tenericutes, Verrucomicrobia, Chloroflexi, Deinococcus-Thermus, Thermotogae, Chlorobi. Significant differences have been established in the density of dominant and minor philotypes of gut bacteria, such as Actinobacteria, Proteobacteria, Tenericutes, Coprothermobacterota, as well as some classes, genera, bacterial species in patients with different disease duration (p < 0.05). Conclusion. There is no doubt about the effect of gut microbiota on compensation for liver function. The established differences in the composition of the microbiota in patients with liver cirrhosis depending on survival over 10 years are of scientific and practical importance for the formation of an evidence-based approach to the use of microbiome-associated interventions

Published: June 2024

To date more than 774 million people worldwide were infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus (data for February 2024), and approximately 7 million people have already died from COVID-19. Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, there have been many reports and studies on damage involvement of the SARS-CoV-2 virus not only the respiratory but cardiovascular system as well, including myocardial damage, endothelial dysfunction, acute coronary syndromes, arrhythmias, myocarditis, thromboembolism, heart failure, hypotension, cardiogenic shock and even cardiac arrest. In addition, symptomatic COVID-19 infection with a severe course is more common in comorbid patients with a history of hypertension, diabetes, obesity, cancer or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. According to the latest literature data, the occurrence of myocarditis associated with a new coronavirus infection is more often observed in young males and is associated with a severe or even fatal prognosis, which determines the relevance of a detailed study of the pathogenetic mechanisms and therapeutic possibilities for myocardial damage prophylaxis, relieving the main disease symptoms and unfavorable prognosis prevention. To date, there are also studies indicating that acute myocarditis could be a complication not only of the infection itself, but even one of the severe post-vaccination against SARS-CoV-2complications. The purpose of this study is to research the lethal clinical case of acute infectious myocarditis complicated the course of a new coronavirus infection. A retrospective analysis of the patient’s medical history with the final diagnosis: acute coronaviral myocarditis against the background of non-compact left ventricle myocardium was carried out.

IoT revolutionizes orchid cultivation in Indonesia with precision and efficiency
Authors: Bisri Hasan , Syahrorini Syamsudduha 
Published: June 2024

The Orchidaceae family is highly valued in ornamental, perfume, medical, and cosmetic industries, but cultivation often fails due to human error. This research aims to design an IoT-integrated automation system to monitor and control key parameters such as air temperature, humidity, and moss moisture for orchid cultivation. Using the research and development method, we observed plant needs, reviewed relevant literature, designed an effective system, and tested sensor accuracy and system reliability. Results showed the DHT-22 sensor had a minimal error in temperature (0.9%) and humidity (2.1%) readings, and the soil moisture sensor had a 3.65% error. The system maintained optimal conditions, and the Blynk app effectively displayed data. This innovation reduces human error and enhances orchid cultivation efficiency, with potential applications in other sensitive plant systems. Highlight: Error Reduction: IoT system minimizes human error in orchid cultivation. Sensor Accuracy: DHT-22 sensors show minimal temperature (0.9%) and humidity (2.1%) errors. Optimal Conditions: Maintains air humidity 40%-80%RH and moss moisture 50%-80%RH. Keyword: Orchidaceae, IoT automation, sensor accuracy, environmental control, orchid cultivation
Electric Drive and Automation of Sampling System for Chimney Fas Analyzer
Authors: Emeliantchikov V. I. , Loikuts E. E. , Opeiko O. F. 
Published: June 2024

To organize reliable control over emissions from chimneys of energy facilities, automatic monitoring systems are needed. Equipment is known for monitoring emissions from small-diameter chimneys, but for large-diameter pipes (15 m or more) available in our Republic, there are no corresponding technical solutions. The paper examines the problem of automating the sampling of flue gases based on an electric drive in large-diameter chimneys. To ensure the optimal trajectory of the sampler in the chimney section, it is necessary to use an asynchronous electric motor with a frequency converter and a position sensor. A functional diagram of the control system is proposed, which contains a programmable logic controller for generating the motion mode, as well as a method for calculating parameters and expressions for generating a task signal for continuous sampling mode. Since the range of speed control increases as the diameter of the chimney increases, depending on it, scalar or vector frequency control can be applied. An expression is proposed for calculating the optimal value of the parameter N of an incremental position and speed sensor (encoder), which contributes to a reasonable choice of sensor. The results of simulation modeling are presented, confirming the effectiveness of the proposed method for calculating the parameters of the sampler drive.

Abstract

Purpose: To assess the effect of iCare HOME tonometry on the clinical management of glaucoma patients progressing with low in-office intraocular pressures (IOP).
Methods: Patients who were found to have progressive glaucoma by their glaucoma specialist were asked to record IOP at least four times daily using iCare HOME. Upon review of home tonometry readings, a decision was made on whether to advance therapy. IOP elevation was defined as a greater than 30% or 5mmHg increase of IOP from baseline. Primary outcome measures were therapy advancement and IOP profile.
Results: Eighty eyes of 41 patients with were enrolled during office visits. The average age of the patients was 60.6±14.2, and most of the cases were female (56.8%). most cases had moderate glaucoma (47.5%).Fifty eyes (62.5%) had changes in glaucoma management after a review of iCare HOME readings. Of these, 36(72%) changed medical therapy, 6(12%) underwent selective laser trabeculoplasty, and 8(16%) underwent surgery. Among all measurements, 724 elevations were detected in 55 eyes of 37 patients. The average elevation from baseline IOP was 8.17±4.47 mmHg, most of which occurred in the morning around 6AM and in the afternoon around 1PM. Only maximum home IOP was a significant predictor of therapy advancement (coefficient= 0.071, p=0.038). There was no significant association between the IOP profile before the home self-tonometry, visual field fast progression, number of IOP elevations, and therapy advancement between the two groups.
Conclusions: Home tonometry revealed significant IOP elevations beyond office IOP, and maximum home IOP was associated with therapy advancement.

Abstract

Background: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are disproportionately impacted by type 2 diabetes. Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) technology (such as Abbott Freestyle Libre 2, previously referred to as Flash Glucose Monitoring) offers real-time glucose monitoring that is convenient and easy to use compared to self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG). However, this technology’s use is neither widespread nor subsidised for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples with type 2 diabetes. Building on existing collaborations with a national network of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, this randomised controlled trial aims to assess the effect of CGM compared to SMBG on (i) haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), (ii) achieving blood glucose targets, (iii) reducing hypoglycaemic episodes; and (iv) cost-effective healthcare in an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples health setting.Methods: This is a non-masked, parallel-group, two-arm, individually randomised, controlled trial (ACTRN12621000753853). Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander adults with type 2 diabetes on injectable therapy and HbA1c≥7.5% (n=350) will be randomised (1:1) to CGM or SMBG for 6 months. The primary outcome is change in HbA1c level from baseline to 6 months. Secondary outcomes include i) CGM-derived metrics, ii) frequency of hypoglycaemic episodes, iii) health-related quality of life, and iv) incremental cost per quality-adjusted life year gained associated with the CGM compared to SMBG. Clinical trial sites include Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisations, Aboriginal Medical Services, primary care centres, and tertiary hospitals across urban, rural, regional, and remote Australia.Discussion: The trial will assess the effect of CGM compared to SMBG on HbA1c for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people with type 2 diabetes in Australia. This trial could have long-term benefits in improving diabetes management and providing evidence for funding of CGM in this population.Trial registration: Australian and New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry (ACTRN12621000753853).
