Authors: Heitkemper Elizabeth , Hulse Scott , Bekemeier Betty , Schultz Melinda , Whitman Greg , Turner Anne M 
Published: April 2024

Background
Given the dearth of resources to support rural public health practice, the solutions in health analytics for rural equity across the northwest dashboard (SHAREdash) was created to support rural county public health departments in northwestern United States with accessible and relevant data to identify and address health disparities in their jurisdictions. To ensure the development of useful dashboards, assessment of usability should occur at multiple stages throughout the system development life cycle. SHAREdash was refined via user-centered design methods, and upon completion, it is critical to evaluate the usability of SHAREdash.

Objective
This study aims to evaluate the usability of SHAREdash based on the system development lifecycle stage 3 evaluation goals of efficiency, satisfaction, and validity.

Methods
Public health professionals from rural health departments from Washington, Idaho, Oregon, and Alaska were enrolled in the usability study from January to April 2022. The web-based evaluation consisted of 2 think-aloud tasks and a semistructured qualitative interview. Think-aloud tasks assessed efficiency and effectiveness, and the interview investigated satisfaction and overall usability. Verbatim transcripts from the tasks and interviews were analyzed using directed content analysis.

Results
Of the 9 participants, all were female and most worked at a local health department (7/9, 78%). A mean of 10.1 (SD 1.4) clicks for task 1 (could be completed in 7 clicks) and 11.4 (SD 2.0) clicks for task 2 (could be completed in 9 clicks) were recorded. For both tasks, most participants required no prompting—89% (n=8) participants for task 1 and 67% (n=6) participants for task 2, respectively. For effectiveness, all participants were able to complete each task accurately and comprehensively. Overall, the participants were highly satisfied with the dashboard with everyone remarking on the utility of using it to support their work, particularly to compare their jurisdiction to others. Finally, half of the participants stated that the ability to share the graphs from the dashboard would be “extremely useful” for their work. The only aspect of the dashboard cited as problematic is the amount of missing data that was present, which was a constraint of the data available about rural jurisdictions.

Conclusions
Think-aloud tasks showed that the SHAREdash allows users to complete tasks efficiently. Overall, participants reported being very satisfied with the dashboard and provided multiple ways they planned to use it to support their work. The main usability issue identified was the lack of available data indicating the importance of addressing the ongoing issues of missing and fragmented public health data, particularly for rural communities.
Drought tolerance improvement for grain yield of a modern rice variety based on morphological and physiological response
Authors: Salomi Rajendiran , Vignesh Palani , Bharathkumar Srinivasan 
Published: April 2024

Growth of rice (Oryza sativa L.) is severely affected by drought stress, which leads to decreased rice production in rainfed ecosystems worldwide. Particularly, modern rice varieties are more susceptible to drought stress rather than traditional rice varieties. In the present study, a modern short-term rice variety, ADT37, abundantly cultivated in the Cauvery delta region of the southern part of India, was improved for grain yield by introducing qDTY1.1 through the conventional backcross method. Positive F1 progenies were identified using RM431 linked with qDTY1.1 in PCR amplification. In phenotypic selection, rice progenies with suitable plant height to avoid linkage drag as well as high degree of drought tolerance to manage the drought stress were selected and advanced through the backcrossing process up to the BC3 generation. Finally, two near isogenic lines with equal plant height to the recurrent parent and high degree of drought tolerance were selected. A positive effect of qDTY1.1 on plant height and fertile seeds was revealed. In the future, the selected superior near isogenic lines would be useful to rice researchers and farmers facing unexpected water crises. Moreover, the morphological marker associated with the performance of crops according to the intensity of stress will support climate resilient agriculture.
An Examination of Management Tone in the MD&A in the Context of Fraud Pentagon
Authors: Rezaee Zabihollah , Pouryousof Azam , Soleimani Abolfazl 
Published: April 2024

ABSTRACT
We examine the association between management tone in management discussion and analysis (MD&A) and five elements of the fraud pentagon model of incentives, opportunity, rationalization, capability, and arrogance. Management tone is measured using a biased tone, and several proxies for fraud are constructed. Using a sample of 586 public companies listed on the Teheran Stock Exchange from 2013 to 2022, we find (1) auditor’s opinion, current ratio, capital expenditure, earnings management, and tax evasion as proxies for fraud incentives; (2) internal control weakness as a proxy for fraud opportunity; (3) CEO tenure and ability as proxies for fraud capability; (4) competition in the product market, industry tax evasion, and lack of political communication as proxies for fraud rationalization; and (5) narcissism and overconfidence as proxies for fraud arrogance are associated with management abnormal tone. We contribute to literature by examining relationships between fraud elements and the abnormal tone in MD&A.

Effects of Shareholdings on the Relationship between Accounting Quality and Trade Credit: Evidence from Japan
Authors: Enomoto Masahiro 
Published: April 2024

ABSTRACT
This study investigates the effects of cross- and stable shareholdings on the relationship between accounting quality and trade credit in Japan. Cross- and stable shareholdings are well-known features of Japanese corporate governance, as a private information-sharing system. The results indicate that the trade credit of customers without either cross- or stable shareholdings increases with accounting quality, and in most cases, such shareholdings weaken the relationship between accounting quality and trade credit. These findings suggest that close ties to cross- and stable shareholders reduce the importance of accounting information through sharing private information. The findings will enhance the understanding of ownership structure’s potential impact. Overall, this study contributes to the literature by demonstrating the role of accounting quality in financing and the factors that reduce this role. In addition, this study highlights policy implications for the regulatory initiatives to unwind cross-shareholdings, which may affect private information sharing.

Published: April 2024

OBJECTIVE
We aimed to examine the effects of a 5:2 diet (2 days per week of energy restriction by formula diet) or an exercise (2 days per week of high-intensity interval training and resistance training) intervention compared with routine lifestyle education (control) on glycemic control and cardiometabolic health among adults with overweight/obesity and type 2 diabetes.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS
This two-center, open-label, three-arm, parallel-group, randomized controlled trial recruited 326 participants with overweight/obesity and type 2 diabetes and randomized them into 12 weeks of diet intervention (n = 109), exercise intervention (n = 108), or lifestyle education (control) (n = 109). The primary outcome was the change of glycemic control measured as glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) between the diet or exercise intervention groups and the control group after the 12-week intervention.

RESULTS
The diet intervention significantly reduced HbA1c level (%) after the 12-week intervention (−0.72, 95% CI −0.95 to −0.48) compared with the control group (−0.37, 95% CI −0.60 to −0.15) (diet vs. control −0.34, 95% CI −0.58 to −0.11, P = 0.007). The reduction in HbA1c level in the exercise intervention group (−0.46, 95% CI −0.70 to −0.23) did not significantly differ from the control group (exercise vs. control −0.09, 95% CI −0.32 to 0.15, P = 0.47). The exercise intervention group was superior in maintaining lean body mass. Both diet and exercise interventions induced improvements in adiposity and hepatic steatosis.

CONCLUSIONS
These findings suggest that the medically supervised 5:2 energy-restricted diet could provide an alternative strategy for improving glycemic control and that the exercise regimen could improve body composition, although it inadequately improved glycemic control.
In-office Bleaching Activated With Violet LED: Effect on Pulpal and Tooth Temperature and Pulp Viability
Authors: Carlos NR , Basting RT , Kantovitz KR , Bronze-Uhle ES , Lisboa Filho PN , Cavalli V , Basting RT 
Published: April 2024

SUMMARY

Objectives:
This study evaluated the influence of hydrogen peroxide (HP) with or without titanium dioxide nanotubes (TiO2) associated with violet LED (VL) regarding: a) the temperature change in the pulp chamber and facial surface; b) the decomposition of HP; and c) the cytotoxicity of the gels on pulp cells.

Methods and Materials:
The experimental groups were: HP35 (35% HP/Whiteness HP, FGM); HP35+VL; HP35T (HP35+TiO2); HP35T+VL; HP7 (7.5% HP/White Class 7.5%, FGM); HP7+VL; HP7T (HP7+TiO2); and HP7T+VL. TiO2 was incorporated into the bleaching gels at 1%. Eighty bovine incisors were evaluated to determine temperature change in 8 experimental groups (n=10/group). A k-type thermocouple was used to evaluate the temperatures of the facial surface and in the pulp chamber, achieved by enabling endodontic access to the palatal surface, throughout the 30-minute session. HP decomposition (n=3) of gels was evaluated by using an automatic potentiometric titrator at the initial and 30-minute time points. Trans-enamel and trans-dentinal cell viability were assessed with a pulp chamber device as well as enamel and dentin discs (n=6), and the treatment extracts (culture medium + diffused components) were collected and applied to MDPC-23 odontoblast cells to evaluate cell viability according to the MTT test.

Results:
A temperature increase in the pulp chamber was observed in the presence of VL at 30 minutes (p&lt;0.05) (Mann-Whitney test). Also at 30 minutes, HP35 showed greater decomposition in the presence of VL rather than in its absence (p&lt;0.05) (mixed linear models and the Tukey-Kramer test). HP7 provided greater cell viability than the groups treated with HP35 (p&lt;0.05) (generalized linear models test). Cell viability was significantly lower for HP7 in the presence of VL (p&lt;0.05).

Conclusion:
Pulpal temperature increased with VL (maximum of 1.9°C), but did not exceed the critical limit to cause pulp damage. Less concentrated HP resulted in higher cell viability, even when associated with VL.

Authors: Tang C , Mercelis B , Zhang F , Mocquot C , Nakanishi K , Yoshihara K , Peumans M , Van Meerbeek B 
Published: April 2024

SUMMARY

Objectives:
To investigate the influence of filler type/loading on the micro-tensile fracture strength (μTFS) of adhesive resins, as measured ‘immediately’ upon preparation and after 1-week water storage (‘water-stored’).

Methods:
The morphology and particle-size distribution of three filler particles, referred to as ‘Glass-S’ (Esschem Europe), ‘BioUnion’ (GC), and ‘CPC_Mont’, were correlatively characterized by SEM, TEM, and particle-size analysis. These filler particles were incorporated into an unfilled adhesive resin (‘BZF-29unfilled’, GC) in different concentrations to measure the ‘immediate’ μTFS. After 1-week water storage, the ‘water-stored’ μTFS of the experimental particle-filled adhesive resins with the most optimum filler loading, specific for each filler type, was measured. In addition, the immediate and water-stored μTFS of the adhesive resins of three experimental two-step universal adhesives based on the same resin matrix but varying for filler type/loading, coded as ‘BZF-21’ (containing silica and bioglass), ‘BZF-29’ (containing solely silica), and ‘BZF-29_hv’ (highly viscous with a higher silica loading than BZF-29), and of the adhesive resins of the gold-standard adhesives OptiBond FL (‘Opti-FL’, Kerr) and Clearfil SE Bond 2 (‘C-SE2’, Kuraray Noritake) was measured along with that of BZF-29unfilled (GC) serving as control/reference. Statistics involved one-way and two-way ANOVA followed by post-hoc multiple comparisons (α&lt;0.05).

Results:
Glass-S, BioUnion, and CPC_Mont represent irregular fillers with an average particle size of 8.5-9.9 μm. Adding filler to BZF-29unfilled decreased μTFS regardless of filler type/loading. One-week water storage reduced μTFS of all adhesive resins except BZF-21, with the largest reduction in μTFS recorded for BZF-29unfilled. Among the three filler types, the μTFS of the 30 wt% Glass-S and 20 wt% BioUnion filled adhesive resin was not significantly different from the μTFS of BZF-29unfilled upon water storage.

Conclusions:
Adding filler particles into adhesive resin did not enhance its micro-tensile fracture strength but appeared to render it less sensitive to water storage as compared to the unfilled adhesive resin investigated.

Published: April 2024

SUMMARY

Objectives:
To evaluate the effect of various toothpaste tablets on gloss and surface roughness of resin-based composite.

Methods and Materials:
Sixty-four resin-based composite specimens were divided into four groups of 16 specimens each. Gloss and roughness were measured before and after simulated brushing with three types of toothpaste tablets and one conventional toothpaste: CT: Chewtab Toothpaste Tablets; AT: Anticavity Toothpaste Tablets; HC: Charcoal Toothpaste Tablets; CP: Cavity Protection toothpaste. The Kruskal-– Wallis procedure was performed to compare the differences by groups. Post-hoc comparisons were conducted with Bonferroni corrections (α=0.05).

Results:
There was a significant drop in gloss for all groups. CT and AT maintained the highest gloss with means of 81.6 GU and 74.1 GU, respectively. The lowest gloss of 24.5 GU was observed for HC. There was a significant increase in roughness for all groups except for CT. CT had the lowest roughness with a mean of 0.034 μm, while HC had the highest roughness with a mean of 0.074 μm. There was a significant correlation between post-brushing gloss and post-brushing roughness (p&lt;0.001, r=-0.884).

Conclusion:
Chewtab Toothpaste Tablets had the least effect on gloss and roughness, while Charcoal Toothpaste Tablets had the most negative effect on the surface properties of resin-based composites.
Simulated Hydrostatic Pulpal Pressure Effect on Microleakage—An Initial Study
Authors: Wyatt TD , Roberts HW 
Published: April 2024

SUMMARY

Purpose:
This study's purpose was to evaluate the effect of simulated in vitro hydrostatic pulpal pressure (HPP) on microleakage.

Methods and Materials:
Extracted third molars (n=12) were sectioned 5 mm below the cementoenamel junction, pulp tissue removed, and the sectioned crowns mounted on a Plexiglas plate penetrated by an 18-gauge stainless steel tube. The mounted specimen mesial surface received a 2×4×6 mm Class V preparation followed by restoration with a strongly acidic, one-step dental adhesive and a flowable microfilled resin, following all manufacturers’ instructions. Restorations were finished to contour, and tubing was attached to a 20-cm elevated, 0.2% rhodamine G reservoir to the specimen steel tube for 48 hours. Specimens then received a nail polish coating to within 1 mm of the restoration margins and were placed in 2% methylene blue (MB) dye for 24 hours, followed by rinsing, embedding in epoxy resin, and sectioning into 1 mm slices using a diamond saw. Controls were intact molars (n=12) processed as above but without HPP. Specimen slices were evaluated using laser confocal microscopy with images exported to ImageJ software with microleakage assessed as the MB linear penetration as a percentage of the total interfacial wall length. Mean values were evaluated with the Kruskal Wallis/Dunn test at a 95% confidence level.

Results:
The control specimens demonstrated significantly greater (p&lt;0.0001) MB penetration than experimental specimens with simulated HPP. Under this study's conditions, simulated HPP significantly decreased MB dye penetration.

Conclusion:
Studies accomplished without simulated HPP may overestimate microleakage results.

Authors: Pavlov V. N. , Urmantsev M. F. , Bakeev M. R. 
Published: April 2024

Introduction. The world standard for treating muscle-invasive bladder cancer is radical cystectomy with pelvic lymphadenectomy. Several large studies report significant postoperative complications of radical cystectomy. In 2003, a team of urologists led by Mani Menon performed a series of robot-assisted radical cystectomies (RARC) for the first time. Currently, it is possible to evaluate the survival of patients aft er RARC.Aim. To determine the indicators of overall (OS), cancer-specific (CSS), and recurrence-free survival (RFS) aft er RARC with pelvic lymphadenectomy in patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer that were operated at a single center.Materials and methods. In 2018–2023, 200 patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer were operated at the Oncology Department of the Bashkir State Medical University Clinic. The operation procedure involved performing RARC with intracorporeal urinary derivation. The maximum follow-up period was limited to 36 months. The survival analysis was performed for the total cohort of patients, as well as following stratification for pN (+/–) status. In order to visualize the obtained results, Kaplan-Meier curves were used.Results and discussion. After 36 months, the survival indicators of all operated patients were as follows: OS — 48.25%; CSS — 57.49%; RFS — 61.89% (p = 0.0031, χ2 = 11.325). Also, a significant decrease in all the survival indicators of pN (+) patients was observed, p < 0.0001. In the pN (+) patient group, patients with advanced pT stage were found to be predominant as compared to the pN (–) group.Conclusion. The analysis of survival after RARC shows satisfactory longterm oncologic outcomes. After RARC, the leading causes of death are regional lymph node involvement and advanced pT stage.
