V. M. Kuṭṭikṛṣṇa Mēnōn: An unmatched scholar of traditional Ayurveda system of medicine
Authors: Unnikrishnan Vidhya , Jigeesh Paikkattumana Purushothaman , Vaidyamadham Subin , Remya E 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
V. M. Kuṭṭikṛṣṇa Mēnōn was an eminent Ayurveda physician, an astute researcher, and an insightful and eloquent writer. He is the author of three great books on Ayurveda and myriad publications on Ayurveda and folklore. The translation of Vāgbhaṭa’s Aṣṭāṅgahṛdayam (Sūtrasthāna), the quintessence and their treatment, and the publication of “Kriyākaumudi” and “Cikitsākautukam,” can all be seen as efforts to revive Kerala’s ancient traditions. As his writings were available only in the native Malayalam language, he remained unknown to other parts of the country. He perused innumerable palm leaf manuscripts from private collections and manuscript repositories at Thiruvananthapuram and Kozhikode, the contents of which otherwise would have never appeared in publications. He has not received much recognition and rewards that he deserved, but his insatiable thirst for knowledge has urged him to dig deep into the treasures of Ayurveda.
Vaidyakalanidhi Shri C. N. Narayanan: A revisionist among Ayurveda physicians of Kerala
Authors: Ashokan Abhayadev 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
In Kerala, the traditional knowledge of Ayurveda was meticulously preserved and disseminated by families of Ashtavaidya tradition and other Vaidya (physicians). The branch of Kaumarabhritya (pediatrics) owes much to the detailed treatises such as “Arogyakalpadrumam” by Kaikulangara Rama Varier and “Vaidyatarakam” by Vaidyakalanidhi C. N. Narayanan (CNN). This paper gives an insight into the life and legacy of CNN, a towering figure who enriched the Ayurvedic community through his academic brilliance, leadership, and editorial prowess. CNN, hailing from a traditional Vaidya family in the central region of contemporary Kerala in India, holds a distinguished position as a Balachikitsaka (pediatrician). His significant contributions to the field of Kaumarabhritya are encapsulated in his seminal work, Vaidyatarakam. This magnum opus delves into unique formulations designed to combat prevalent diseases of his era, such as Karappan (a skin disorder), Romantika Jwara (measles), Nilankari Chuma (whooping cough), and Pilla Vata (polio), among others. He played a crucial role in shaping discussions on professional, academic, and social aspects of Ayurveda. Contrary to the custom of preserving traditional and professional knowledge as a family secret, he devoted himself to spreading his extensive clinical and practical experience. CNN’s tireless efforts have not only enriched the field of Ayurveda but have also contributed to its wider dissemination and understanding.
Success predictive factors of teeth subjected to autotransplant: An umbrella review
Authors: Pineda-Vélez Eliana , Vivares Anny M. , Casillas-Castillo Jocelyne Valeria 
Published: May 2024

Abstract

Introduction:
A dental autotransplant is a controlled case of dental avulsion based on the transplantation of erupted teeth within the same individual, from one place to another, in sites where an extraction was performed or that were surgically prepared. Autotransplantation has become a viable method to replace lost teeth since transplanted teeth may operate as fully normal teeth.

Objective:
The objective of this study was to summarize the available scientific evidence regarding predictors of success in autotransplanted teeth.

Materials and Methods:
A systematic review of systematic reviews, known as an umbrella review, was performed. Two calibrated and standardized investigators independently analyzed the quality using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guideline and evaluated the confidence level and bias review with the Amstar-2 guideline. The PubMed, Embase, and Scopus databases were used. The search was conducted in August 2022 and updated on March 22, 2023. Systematic reviews or meta-analyses carried out from publications on human beings, between 2017 and 2022, were included.

Results:
From 104 achieved, 4 systematic reviews and meta-analyses were assessed. The overall survival of autotransplanted teeth ranged from 81% to 98%, the prevalence of overall inflammatory root resorption ranged from 2.1% to 43%, and the prevalence of ankylosis ranged from 1.2% to 43%. Predictive factors for success identified in the literature included tooth type or root development and clinical intervention factors, including socket preparation, splinting, occlusion control, antibiotic regimen, treatment time of endodontics, and orthodontic treatment.

Conclusions:
The existing evidence on autotransplanted teeth in humans indicates that the survival rate of such teeth involves a series of presurgical and surgical variables. Analyses of factors associated with complications or failures still require primary studies where associations may be made to draw more solid conclusions.

Published: May 2024

Abstract

Introduction:
The main goal of instrumentation during retreatment is to maintain the original curvature of the canal during retrieval of gutta-percha. The present study evaluates the canal-centering ability of two different retreatment file systems.

Materials and Methods:
Forty extracted single-rooted teeth were decoronated and obturated at the standardized root length of 16 mm. Samples were divided into two groups of each 20 single root teeth and they were instrumented using Solite RS3 Retreatment and ProTaper Retreatment files, respectively. Both pre- and postoperative nano-computed tomography scans were taken, and three-dimensional reconstruction was done for analysis. Sections of both the pre- and postoperative samples were taken at 7 mm, 5 mm, and 3 mm from the apex to calculate the canal-centering ratio. Independent t-test was used for statistical analysis between the two groups.

Results:
Solite RS3 retreatment files showed a significant difference at the 3 levels (P < 0.000) compared to ProTaper retreatment files.

Conclusion:
From the above results, we can conclude that Solite RS3 caused minimal canal transportation and produced a relatively centered preparation in comparison to the ProTaper Retreatment system.
A narrative review on the current uses of artificial intelligence in endodontics
Authors: Bakhsh Abdulaziz A. 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
Artificial intelligence (AI) has been widely introduced to dentistry in the past decade. Its application in endodontics is limited to different areas such as working length determination, morphological assessment, detection of vertical root fracture, and the detection of periapical lesion. Therefore, this study aims to highlight the available evidence for the uses of AI in endodontics. It also presents the current status as well as the future perspectives on the uses of AI and its potential application in everyday practice. A literature search was conducted from January 2000 to January 2023 using PubMed and Google Scholar for the terms AI and endodontics. Thirty-one studies were evaluated and summarized, highlighting the potential use of different AI models in endodontics. The evaluation of the studies indicated that the use of AI is promising and could aid in tailored endodontics therapy. It would help the clinician in the detection of periapical radiolucency, root fractures, and determination of working length. However, well-designed, high-quality research is required to assess the possible implementation of AI into day-to-day practice in endodontics.
Effect of different intracanal medicaments combined with chitosan nanoparticles on microhardness and fracture resistance of root dentin – An in vitro study
Authors: Halkai Rahul , Halkai Kiran R. , Mahveen Syeda Uzma 
Published: May 2024

Abstract

Introduction:
Chitosan nanoparticles (CSN) are widely used for endodontic disinfection; however, their combination with other intracanal medicaments is least studied; therefore, this study aims to evaluate the effect of various intracanal medicaments incorporated with 0.2% CSN on root dentin microhardness and fracture resistance.

Materials and Methods:
Fifty extracted human single-rooted premolars were cleaned, decoronated, and standardized to 13 mm root length. After access opening and working length determination, specimens were instrumented with ProTaper rotary files till apical size F3 and alternatively irrigated with 5 ml of 2.5% sodium hypochlorite and normal saline (NS). Final irrigation was done with 5 ml of 1% phytic acid. The specimens were allocated randomly into five groups (n = 10), followed by placement of intracanal medicament for 1 week as follows. Group 1 – 0.2% CSN, Group 2 – Calcium hydroxide (Ca[OH] 2) + 0.2% CSN, Group 3 – Triple antibiotic paste (TAP) + 0.2% CSN, Group 4 – Propolis + 0.2% CSN, and Group 5 – Chlorhexidine gluconate (CHX) + 0.2% CSN. The specimens were then rinsed with NS and 3 mm coronal portion of each specimen was horizontally sectioned to create dentin blocks that were further split vertically and tested for Vickers microhardness (n = 10). The remaining root segment of each specimen was then vertically embedded in an acrylic block and evaluated for fracture resistance (n = 10) under a universal testing machine. The data acquired were statistically assessed using one-way ANOVA and posthoc Tukey tests (P < 0.05).

Results:
Propolis incorporated with 0.2% CSN showed the highest microhardness and fracture resistance values followed by CHX + 0.2% CSN, TAP + 0.2% CSN, Ca(OH)2 + 0.2% CSN, and least in 0.2% CSN alone.

Conclusion:
Intracanal medicaments incorporated with 0.2% CSN exhibited a synergetic effect on microhardness and fracture resistance of endodontically treated teeth; however, propolis with 0.2% CSN exhibited higher microhardness and fracture resistance of root dentin.
Boswellic acid as a potential adjunct for bone healing after endodontic surgery: In vitro study
Authors: Aldandan Ahmed A. , El-Kenawy Mohamed Hassan , Al-Sharif Abdullah A. , Hamam Eman T. , Badr Amany E. 
Published: May 2024

Abstract

Introduction:
The role of Acetyl -11-keto-β-boswellic acid (AKBA) in regulating osteoblast differentiation was recently brought to light. Therefore, the current study was designed to explore the osteogenic differentiation capability of AKBA on bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) as a potential therapeutic agent to accelerate the healing process in apicoectomy.

Materials and Methods:
BMMSCs were characterized by flow cytometry. Cellular viability and proliferation assays were used with different concentrations of AKBA. Cells were divided into 5 groups to test osteogenic differentiation: Group I: negative control, Group II: positive control, Group III: BMMSCs were treated with 1 μM AKBA, Group IV: BMMSCs were treated with 0.1 μM AKBA, and Group V: BMMSCs were treated with 0.01 μM AKBA. Mineralization assays and gene expression analysis were assessed, and the significance difference between groups was established at P < 0.05.

Results:
The flow cytometry analysis demonstrated that BMMSCs had positive expression for mesenchymal stem cell marker and negative expression for hematopoietic markers. The concentration of 0.01 μM gave significantly higher cell density than the untreated cells after 7 days (P < 0.05). Cells treated with 0.1 and 0.01 μM AKBA revealed a significantly higher ALP activity, alizarin red, and von Kossa staining than control groups (P < 0.05). High expression of osteogenic genes was detected in BMMSCs treated with 0.1 μM AKBA (P < 0.05).

Conclusions:
It was declared that the concentration of 0.1 μM AKBA has no toxicity on BMMSC viability and proliferation with an impact on BMMSC osteogenic differentiation. Therefore, AKBA (0.01 μM) could be used in bone regeneration during periradicular surgery.
Universality for free fermions and the local Weyl law for semiclassical Schrödinger operators
Authors: Deleporte Alix , Lambert Gaultier 
Published: May 2024

We study local asymptotics for the spectral projector associated to a Schrödinger operator

-\hbar^{2}\Delta+V

on

\mathbb{R}^{n}

in the semiclassical limit as

\hbar\to0

. We prove local uniform convergence of the rescaled integral kernel of this projector towards a universal model, inside the classically allowed region as well as on its boundary. This implies universality of microscopic fluctuations for the corresponding free fermions (determinantal) point processes, both in the bulk and around regular boundary points. Our results apply to a general class of smooth potentials in arbitrary dimension

n\ge 1

. These results are complemented by studying both macroscopic and mesoscopic fluctuations of the point process. We obtain tail bounds for macroscopic linear statistics and, provided

n\geq 2

, a central limit theorem for both macroscopic and mesoscopic linear statistics in the bulk.
Non-triviality of the phase transition for percolation on finite transitive graphs
Authors: Hutchcroft Tom , Tointon Matthew 
Published: May 2024

We prove that if

(G_{n})_{n \geq1}=((V_{n},E_{n}))_{n\geq 1}

is a sequence of finite, vertex-transitive graphs with bounded degrees and

|V_{n}|\to\infty

that is at least

(1+\varepsilon)

-dimensional for some

\varepsilon>0

in the sense that

\operatorname{diam} (G_{n})=O(|V_{n}|^{1/(1+\varepsilon)}) \quad \text{as }n\to\infty

then this sequence of graphs has a non-trivial phase transition for Bernoulli bond percolation. More precisely, we prove under these conditions that for each

0<\alpha <1

there exists

p_{c}(\alpha)<1

such that for each

p\geq p_{c}(\alpha)

, Bernoulli-

p

bond percolation on

G_{n}

has a cluster of size at least

\alpha |V_{n}|

with probability tending to

1

as

n\to \infty

. In fact, we prove more generally that there exists a universal constant

a

such that the same conclusion holds whenever

\operatorname{diam} (G_{n})=O\Big(\frac{|V_{n}|}{(\log |V_{n}|)^{a}}\Big) \quad \text{as }n\to\infty.

This verifies a conjecture of Benjamini (2001) up to the value of the constant

a

, which he suggested should be

1

. We also prove a generalization of this result to quasitransitive graph sequences with a bounded number of vertex orbits. A key step in our argument is a direct proof of our result when the graphs

G_{n}

are all Cayley graphs of Abelian groups, in which case we show that one may indeed take

a=1

. This result relies crucially on a new theorem of independent interest stating roughly that balls in arbitrary Abelian Cayley graphs can always be approximated by boxes in

\Z^{d}

with the standard generating set. Another key step is to adapt the methods of Duminil-Copin, Goswami, Raoufi, Severo, and Yadin [Duke Math. J. 169 (2020)] from infinite graphs to finite graphs. This adaptation also leads to an isoperimetric criterion for infinite graphs to have a non-trivial uniqueness phase (i.e., to have

p_{u}<1

), which is of independent interest. We also prove that the set of possible values of the critical probability of an infinite quasitransitive graph has a
gap
at

1

in the sense that for every

k,n<\infty

there exists

\varepsilon>0

such that every infinite graph

G

of degree at most

k

whose vertex set has at most

n

orbits under

\operatorname{Aut}(G)

has either

p_c=1

or

p_c\leq 1-\varepsilon

Rural Women’s Response to Climate Change: An Exploratory Study of Women’s Grassroot Network in Odisha
Authors: Dhal Sunita 
Published: May 2024

The emergence of Feminist Political Ecological (FPE) position allows to rethink about social institutions like Self Help Groups (SHGs) as foundations for building green movements through everyday practice. The collective voice that has helped them emerge economically self-sufficient is reflected in their decision making, when the larger cause of climate change or environmental decision-making are involved. It is time that their actions permeating the ecology and environment gains credence and such coalitions provide ground as movements for achieving the larger collective agenda.

Idea of SHGs as social capital helped the marginalized women create different ‘gendered subjectivities’ and endowed them with a collective voice, be it conservation of their own ecological settings or confronting the social system. The case of Climate Credit Pilot Project and/or conservation of indigenous seed varieties in remote villages of Odisha bear testimony to women’s consciousness regarding climate mitigation initiatives and the meaningful actions associated with environmental justice. Such interventions show that the embedment of economic, social and cultural values of SHG groups align with their instinct for attaining a larger goal of environment protection through household and community level actions.

The gendered subjectivities including increased social consciousness among women, better access to new information, up-skilling has made them better and enlightened decision makers. The practice of joint or consensual action by SHG collectives enable them to address multi-scalar issues like climate change. However, the broader agenda of social and economic empowerment has to align with their decision making power relating to their immediate ecology and environment. In this context, the proposed study will probe emerging social consciousness of women on climate change issues, while examining their larger environmental responsibility in local situation, wherein the women remain at the receiving end. This is a field-based exploratory study of women from subsistence and indigenous communities of three districts in Odisha which interrogates the role of SHGs in creating a social space for women to engage with the question of environmental decision making. The study intends to analyse the field data in relation to environmental rights, responsibilities and knowledge of rural and Adivasi women within the institution of SHGs. It aims to formulate the concept, i.e., can SHGs be seen as co-linear spaces which needs to be strengthened as bearers of green movements at the local level as a response to the climate crisis.

Cloud detection from multi-angular polarimetric satellite measurements using a neural network ensemble approach
Authors: Yuan Zihao , Fu Guangliang , van Diedenhoven Bastiaan , Lin Hai Xiang , Erisman Jan Willem , Hasekamp Otto P. 
Published: May 2024

Abstract. This paper describes a neural network cloud masking scheme from PARASOL (Polarization and Anisotropy of Reflectances for Atmospheric Science coupled with Observations from a Lidar) multi-angle polarimetric measurements. The algorithm has been trained on synthetic measurements and has been applied to the processing of 1 year of PARASOL data. Comparisons of the retrieved cloud fraction with MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) products show overall agreement in spatial and temporal patterns, but the PARASOL neural network (PARASOL-NN) retrieves lower cloud fractions. Comparisons with a goodness-of-fit mask from aerosol retrievals suggest that the NN cloud mask flags fewer clear pixels as cloudy than MODIS (∼ 3 % of the clear pixels versus ∼ 15 % by MODIS). On the other hand the NN classifies more pixels incorrectly as clear than MODIS (∼ 20 % by NN, versus ∼ 15 % by MODIS). Additionally, the NN and MODIS cloud mask have been applied to the aerosol retrievals from PARASOL using the Remote Sensing of Trace Gas and Aerosol Products (RemoTAP) algorithm. Validation with AERONET shows that the NN cloud mask performs comparably with MODIS in screening residual cloud contamination in retrieved aerosol properties. Our study demonstrates that cloud masking from multi-angle polarimeter (MAP) aerosol retrievals can be performed based on the MAP measurements themselves, making the retrievals independent of the availability of a cloud imager.
