Evaluation of Color Stability and Translucency of Different Composite Resins Exposed to Alcohol
Authors: Bedir F , Karadas M 
Published: March 2024

Background:As there is evidence showing the effects of alcohol on the surface properties of composite resins, it is of great importance to understand the effects of commonly consumed beverages on the discoloration of composite restorations in people who consume alcohol.Aim:The aim of this study was to investigate the changes in the color and translucency of composite resins immersed in different beverages after exposure to alcohol.Methods:Disk-shaped samples from each composite resin (Filtek Z250 (Z250), Clearfil Majesty Esthetic (CME), and Esthelite Bulk Fill Flow (EBF), were prepared (n = 60) and randomly divided into two groups (exposed or unexposed to alcohol). The samples were immersed in distilled water, black tea, and coffee. The color parameter (∆E00) and translucency parameter (∆TP) were calculated after 24 h, 1 week, and 3 weeks. Four-way ANOVA and Tukey’s post-hoc analysis were used for the statistical analysis (α = 0.05).Results:Alcohol significantly increased the discoloration of Z250 and EBF in black tea. The discoloration of CME was not affected by alcohol exposure. Z250 and EBF showed clinically unacceptable discoloration (ΔE00> 2.25) after immersion in black tea and coffee, whereas CME showed clinically unacceptable discoloration after immersion in black tea. Black tea caused the greatest color change in all composite materials regardless of alcohol exposure. EBF showed the lowest ΔTP values (∆TP = −1.82) at 3 weeks of immersion in black tea.Conclusions:The effect of alcohol on discoloration depended on the composite type used. The translucency of bulk-fill flowable composite decreased with alcohol exposure.

Abstract

Introduction:
There is a proven link between air pollution (AP) and mortality due to cardiovascular disease and some epidemiological studies have suggested a stable association between cardiac arrest, myocardial infarction, cardiac arrhythmias, and AP. The present study was aimed to determine the relationship between AP and ventricular arrhythmias (VA) in patients with implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD).

Materials and Methods:
The current study was conducted from April 2018 to March 2019 in Chamran Hospital of IUMS, Isfahan, Iran, on the 100 patients who had ICD and lived and worked in Isfahan. We record the residence and work of patients with ICD to be matched to the reports of the environment organization, and then detailed assessments related to VA were performed in them.

Results:
Of the patients, who did not show ventricular arrhythmia based on 6-month analysis, 57.1% were male and 42.9% were female. In patients who showed ventricular arrhythmia, 66.7% were male and 30% were female. There was no significant difference between sex and the incidence of VA (P = 0.37). There is no significant difference between the presence of comorbidities and the incidence of VA (P = 0.89). The relationship between ventricular arrhythmia and AP was significant with spearman’s correlation coefficient of 0.26 and P = 0.008.

Conclusion:
Increased AP is associated with an increase in the incidence of VA in patients with ICD, which increases the need for clinicians to pay attention to this issue and to explain it to patients. However, a more detailed study is needed to distinguish between the type of AP and the exact amount of each of the pollutant.

Abstract

Background:
The worldwide prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is rapidly increasing, and research has shown that low-grade inflammation leads to the development and progress of T2DM. Participating in physical activities, as part of the management program, is recommended to control inflammation and prevent the complications of T2DM. Although the most effective type and intensity of exercise training are not recognized yet, aerobic training has been reported to have beneficial effects. This manuscript describes the protocol of a study, in which we compared the effectiveness of 8 weeks of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) on inflammatory, metabolic, and anthropometric variables in type 2 diabetes patients.

Methods/Design:
This study was designed as a pilot randomized controlled clinical trial with three parallel groups. Twenty-seven adults with type 2 diabetes were randomly assigned 1:1:1 to HIIT, MICT, and control groups. Participants in the HIIT and MICT groups were invited to undertake three sessions of supervised exercise each week for eight consecutive weeks. HIIT sessions consisted of seven 1-min intervals of running exercise on a treadmill at 90%–95% heart rate reserve (HRR) separated by 2 min of active recovery at 60%–70% HRR. MICT sessions involved 30 min of continuous running on the treadmill at 60%–70% HRR. Participants were assessed 24 h before the start and 24 and 72 h after the last training session. The control group, however, continued their everyday life during the project. The primary outcomes were the alterations of plasma calprotectin, myeloperoxidase (MPO), and interleukin-6.

Conclusion:
Evidence shows the link between inflammation and the development of type 2 diabetes complications. Therefore, finding ways to improve inflammatory state is of vital importance to these patients. This study is the first clinical trial comparing the impact of long-term HIIT and MICT on calprotectin and MPO for people with type 2 diabetes.

In Turkiye, as well as worldwide, traditional and alternative medical practices are employed for the preservation of health and the treatment of various diseases. Among these practices, Apitherapy has gained particular attention, especially in recent years. Since drug use causes serious side effects, especially on human health, people are increasingly turning to alternative medical treatment methods with minimal or no side effects.
Apitherapy is a treatment method involving bee products such as honey, pollen, Royal Jel, propolis, and bee venom. It is primarily used for the purpose of promoting a healthier lifestyle. While these products have been traditionally used in various treatments for many years, their systematic use has gained prominence in recent years. Studies have shown that these products strengthen the immune system, provide protection against various types of cancer, and exhibit antimicrobial and antioxidant properties.
Furthermore, the high content of protein, vitamins, minerals, and amino acids in these products enhances their therapeutic potential. However, alongside the benefits of these supportive and therapeutic substances, there is a possibility of various toxic effects when used irregularly and without medical supervision. Sometimes, these situations can lead to various organ failures. This review aims to reveal the undesirable effects encountered in the use of bee products and apitherapy applications, and emphasizes that all natural products, especially bee products, should not be used uncontrolled.

Published: March 2024

Much has been written, and much more has been said, about the unique challenges and demands of chronic disease management. Various chronic disease models, including Chronic Care Model (CCM), Improving Chronic Illness Care (ICIC), and Innovative Care for Chronic Conditions (ICCC), Stanford Model (SM) and Community based Transition Model (CBTM), have been studied1. Most physicians are trained in acute care, and attend to disease (and health) in a cross-sectional manner. Chronic disease care, however requires a long term, or longitudinal approach to management. While various experts have discussed the differences between acute or chronic disease care, it becomes challenging for younger doctors to understand these intricacies.

Authors: Ahmed Mahnoor 
Published: March 2024

Purpose: The aim of the study was to investigate the psychological impact of social media addiction on interpersonal relationships.
Methodology: This study adopted a desk methodology. A desk study research design is commonly known as secondary data collection. This is basically collecting data from existing resources preferably because of its low cost advantage as compared to a field research. Our current study looked into already published studies and reports as the data was easily accessed through online journals and libraries.
Findings: Social media addiction profoundly impacts interpersonal relationships, leading to heightened loneliness and diminished relationship satisfaction. Conflict and communication issues often arise, as excessive social media use can lead to neglect of face-to-face interactions and misunderstandings. Additionally, social comparison and lower self-esteem are common among those addicted to social media, further straining interpersonal connections. Addressing social media addiction is crucial for fostering healthier and more fulfilling relationships in the digital age.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Attachment Theory, Social Exchange Theory & Interpersonal Communication Theory may be used to anchor future studies on the psychological impact of social media addiction on interpersonal relationships. Practical interventions should be grounded in both empirical evidence and theoretical frameworks to effectively address the psychological consequences of social media addiction on interpersonal relationships. Policymakers play a crucial role in advocating for regulations and guidelines aimed at mitigating the negative impact of social media addiction on interpersonal relationships.

Published: March 2024

Introduction and Aim: Erosive reflux disease (ERD) and Non-erosive reflux disease (NERD) are common gastrointestinal (GI) diseases in primary healthcare facilities that might result in alterations in gastric microflora. The aim was to characterize the altered composition of the gastric microflora in both groups and their effects on normal metabolic pathways.

Materials and Methods: A total of 27 individuals, consisting of 18 patients of ERD, 4 patients of NERD, and 5 controls based on the questionnaire data and clinical diagnosis. The gastric microbiome was sequenced using 16S rRNA next-generation sequencing. Gastric microbial diversity and compositions were analyzed using MicrobiomeAnalyst. Functional analysis was performed using PICRUST.

Results: Dysbiosis was observed in both ERD and NERD groups when compared to the control. Alpha diversity was found to be significant at the ACE index, at the order (p = 0.0239) and class (p = 0.019) taxonomic levels. The gastric microbiome composition at the genus level of the study groups represented a significant decrease of Gram-positive bacterial genera such as Streptococcus, Corynebacterium, and Granulicatella along with an increase of Gram-negative genera such as Helicobacter and Veillonella. Significant alterations in the metabolic pathways due to this dysbiosis were also predicted for both groups.

Conclusion: The alterations in the gastric microflora are caused by both ERD and NERD, these alterations are further associated with a shift in microbial consortia towards the abundance of gram-negative bacterial genera that might lead to the progression of GI diseases to a chronic state.
