Background
The International Caries Detection and Assessment System (ICDAS) is a clinical scoring system for use in dentistry education, clinical practice, research, and epidemiology, and provides a framework to support and facilitate comprehensive caries care to improve long-term health outcomes for children.

Objective
To detect coronal caries in children using ICDAS for measuring dental caries to support and facilitate comprehensive caries care to improve long-term health outcomes for children.

Methods
Cross-sectional observational study designs were used for population-based surveys with detection codes for coronal caries according to ICDAS. Sampling techniques were used for purposive sampling, with sample size being used as the adequate sample size in the prevalence study. The sample consisted of 210 students from Puteran village in Tasikmalaya district, West Java, Indonesia, who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The data were analyzed using distribution frequency and the prevalence rate formula.

Results
The ICDAS assessment showed a caries prevalence of 91.4% among permanent teeth in children aged 6 to 12 years. The prevalence of caries is higher in the mandible than in the maxilla. At these ages, the majority of ICDAS assessments are code 1, and the percentage value of caries is higher in ICDAS code 1 than in codes 2 to 6. The trend of decreasing numbers indicates that the percentage value of ICDAS decreases from code 1 to code 5, which represents the most severe condition of caries. The teeth with the most caries detected in the upper jaw are teeth 16, 26, and in the lower jaw are teeth 31, 36, 41, and 46.

Conclusion
The ICDAS evaluation revealed a caries prevalence of 91.4% for permanent teeth. The mandible has a higher prevalence of caries than the maxilla. Code 1 is the most frequent ICDAS assessment code. There is a decrease in the percentage value of ICDAS from code 1 to code 5, which is the code with the most severe caries condition.

PurposeThe aim of this study was to assess head and neck cancer (HNC) knowledge and awareness among dental students and dentists in Makkah City, Saudi Arabia.MethodsA cross-sectional online survey was carried out between October 2022 and February 2023. 310 undergraduate students at the faculty of dentistry, Umm Al-Qura University, as well as general dentists and consultants working either in the University Hospitals, public hospitals, or private clinics in Makkah were included in the study. The survey consisted of 26 questions divided into three sections: demographics, knowledge, practices and attitudes toward HNC early detection and management. Descriptive statistics were presented for the knowledge and attitude and Chi-square test was used to identify correlations,Pvalue ≤0.05 was considered significant.ResultsOut of the 160 completed questionnaires, the majority of the participants were female (63.1%) and undergraduate students (77.5%). Regarding HNC general knowledge, acceptable levels were reported, however, the results showed a significant lack of knowledge concerning oral cancer complications and their association with cancer and cancer therapy. Additionally, there was no significant difference between males and females in the knowledge score (p=0.82) or attitude score regarding oncology patients (p=0.5). There was a significant difference in the overall knowledge between specialists and consultants (p=.0.04) compared to students, and general dentists. Knowledge was found to be directly proportional to individual’s experience.ConclusionAll participants had good general knowledge of HNC; however, they lacked sufficient knowledge about complications of cancer-associated therapy. HNC educational programs mostly in diagnosis, management, and prevention are required. Furthermore, there is a need to emphasize participation of graduated and practicing dentists of all levels of experience in future studies.

Authors: Sadat-Ali Mir , Omar Omar M , Almas Khalid , Ahmed Ayesha 
Published: April 2024

Objective
We created Bisphosphonate-related Osteonecrosis of Jaw (BRONJ) in rabbits and treated them with an angiogenesis factor or autologous bone marrow derived osteoblasts (ABMDO) to assess the efficacy of the treatment by Micro-computerized Tomography (M-CT) and histopathology.

Materials and Methods
Thirty female New Zealand rabbits were procured and were divided into three groups of 10 animals each. The number of animals to achieve statistical significance was based on the reported studies. Group I was control group (C), Group II was Osteoblast group (O), and Group III was angiogenesis group (P). In all Groups, BRONJ was produced. At 8 weeks of tooth extraction, BRONJ was confirmed histologically and radiologically in two rabbits from each group of animals. Group I received 0.5 of normal saline, Group II received a single dose of 5 million osteoblasts suspended in 0.5 ml, and Group III received 5 mg of angiogenesis factor thrice weekly for three weeks. The healing of BRONJ was assessed using M-CT and histopathology.

Results
In O and P groups, the extraction sockets healed and closed with normal-looking tissue, whereas in the C (control) group, suppuration with an area of necrosis was observed. Micro-CT analysis of socket revealed an exaggeration on non-mineralized soft tissue volume in the C group, whereas most of the bone promotion parameters were improved in the O and P groups with statistical difference (P<0.001) for the parameters bone volume, bone surface area, trabecular number and trabecular thickness. Histologically, the element of healing was represented by reactive bone formation and fibrosis, which were more prominent in groups O and P as compared to the control group.

Conclusion
Our study shows that ABMDO and angiogenesis factor have a robust potential to heal BRONJ.

Clinical Relevance

The study shows angiogenesis factor and osteoblasts heals BRONJ and warrant sincere human trials to tackle this unrelenting complication of bisphosphonates use.

Objectives
To assess the prevalence of Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) and assess knowledge, attitude, and practice regarding Egyptian females.

Methods
This study used a cross-sectional, descriptive design to collect data from a gynecological outpatient clinic at Al-Azhar University Hospital in Damietta and the Obstetrics and Gynecology Specialty Center in Mansoura University Hospital. The study was conducted from April 2022 to August 2022. A self-administered questionnaire and screening tools were used for data collection. The tools used were the Premenstrual Symptoms Screening Tool (PSST), attitudes and practices related to PMDD care. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was conductedto predict PMDD knowledge.

Results & Discussion
The prevalence of PMDD was 10% among the 150 women who agreed to participate in this study. About 47% (n = 70) of the women had good PMDD knowledge. High educational level was a significant predictor of knowledge about PMDD. The majority of females (98%) believed that PMDD awareness is essential and that PMDD symptoms are caused by life stressors. Around half of the women who are diagnosed with PMDD (47.0% of the 10% of those diagnosed with PMDD) reported discussing the disorder with family members, and about one-third thought that this conversation was extremely beneficial. Husbands and friends were the most common source of social support (42.9%). Only 20% discussed the issue with a doctor, majority of who(66.7%) were psychiatrists.

Conclusion
PMDD is prevalent among Egyptian females; however, they have adequate knowledge and a positive attitude toward PMDD. There is a need to establish a maternal mental consultation at the reproductive and maternal health care unit to prevent and promote mental well-being and contact with PMDD and similar female mental problems.

Synopsis
The majority of the participants reported having adequate knowledge of PMDD and a positive attitude toward the significance of raising awareness of it. The significant predictor of PMDD knowledge was university education. Talking to family and friends was useful to overcome the symptoms of PMDD.
The Consumer Value in Mega Sports Fan Festival: Scale Development and Validation
Authors: Jeong Seung-Hoon , Chung Ji-Young 
Published: April 2024

Introduction
This study aimed to identify key values associated with fan festivals for the mega sports event. By examining those key values, researchers and practitioners may broaden their understanding of why sports fans attend fan festivals for mega sports events.

Materials and Methods
This study identified four dimensions of the Fan Festival Value Scale (FFVS)—hedonic, aesthetics, social, and social justice values—and statistically confirmed that the proposed measurement scale is reliable and valid.

Results
This study showed that fans attend the fan festival to experience positive effects, watch the athletic performance, interact with other fans, and support social values (e.g., fairness and cooperative spirit). In particular, those four values may be divided into individualistic or collectivistic perspectives. From the individualistic perspective, fans may attend the fan festival to experience self-oriented values, such as to elicit positive emotional responses like pleasure and excitement and to enjoy the aesthetic movements of athletes. In predictive validity, the results indicated that the aesthetic and social values significantly predicted the attitude toward the fan festival, and hedonic, aesthetic, social, and social justice values significantly predicted fans' future intention to attend fan festivals for mega sports events. These findings suggest that the FFVS effectively predicts how fans form attitudes toward a fan festival and which specific values motivate those fans to attend fan festivals in the future.

Conclusion
The results of the current study can provide meaningful implications to the managers of the fan festival in terms of which values are derived from those fans to attend the fan festival.
In silico Thermodynamic Evaluation of the Effectiveness of RT-LAMP Primers for SARS-CoV-2 Variants Detection
Authors: Miranda Pâmella , Alves Pedro A. , do Monte-Neto Rubens L. , Weber Gerald 
Published: April 2024

Background
Viral mutations are the primary cause of mismatches in primer-target hybridisation, affecting the sensibility of molecular techniques, and potentially leading to detection dropouts. Despite its importance, little is known about the quantitative effect of mismatches in primer-target hybridisation. We have used up-to-date and highly detailed thermodynamic model parameters of DNA mismatches to evaluate the sensibility to variants of SARS-CoV-2 RT-LAMP primers.

Methods
We aligned 18 RT-LAMP primer sets, which underwent clinical validation, to the genomes of the wild-type strain (ws), 7 variants and 4 subvariants, and calculated hybridisation temperatures allowing up to three consecutive mismatches. We calculated the coverage when the mismatched melting temperature fell by more than 5°C in comparison to the matched alignments. If no mismatches were considered, the average coverage found was 94% for ws, falling to the lowest value for Omicron, i.e., 84%.

Results
However, considering mismatches, the coverage was much higher, i.e., 97% (ws) to 88% (Omicron). Stabilizing mismatches (higher melting temperatures) accounted for roughly 1/3 of this increase. The number of primer dropouts increased for each new variant; however, the effect was much less severe if mismatches were considered.

Conclusion
We suggest using melting temperature calculations to continuously assess the trend of primer dropouts.

Background. The problem of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) remains relevant due to high morbidity and mortality. There are various lesions of the nervous system in the setting of COVID-19 that significantly affect the course of the disease. Predicting the development of neurological complications requires further research. The aim of the study is to analyze the state of blood gas composition, coagulogram and acute phase of inflammation in patients with COVID-19 depending on the severity of their state and the presence of neurological complications. Materials and methods. We examined 96 patients with confirmed coronavirus disease with pneumonia and no history of neurological diseases. Group I included 43 (44.79 %) individuals with moderate COVID-19, and group II — 53 (55.21 %) patients with severe condition. Blood saturation, blood gas composition and acid-base balance, coagulogram, levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6), ferritin, and C-reactive protein (CRP) in the blood serum were evaluated. The control group consisted of 25 healthy donors. Results. A comparative analysis was performed of the clinical manifestations of nervous system damage and neurological complications, blood gas composition, acid-base balance, acute phase of inflammation, coagulogram in patients with COVID-19 depending on the severity of the disease. Conclusions. In patients with COVID-19, the incidence of neurological symptoms, the degree of changes in blood gas composition, acid-base balance, coagulogram, levels of CRP, ferritin and IL-6 depend on the severity of the disease. Neurological complications in the form of acute cerebrovascular accident, cerebral edema, and transient ischemic attack occur in 16.67 % of patients with moderate to severe COVID-19. The risk of developing these complications is associated with more severe hypercapnia (p < 0.001), respiratory acidosis (p < 0.001), signs of hypercoagulability (p < 0.001), changes in IL-6 (p < 0.01) and CRP (p < 0.001).
