Authors: Simon Miriam Archana , Al-Ghailani Amal Saleh 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has had an immense global impact on health-care delivery and health-care training. One of the vital lessons learned in the postpandemic phase is to address the requirements for growing mental health-care concerns worldwide. In view of preparedness for similar disasters in the future, it is essential to create viable pathways that proactively tackle mental health crises. Measures to improve community resilience, through training in psychological first aid (PFA), as an intervention for disaster recovery and disaster management may prove beneficial. This may be achieved by training professionals and residents in the local community. In addition, training in PFA may be focused on first responders and frontline workers. Furthermore, training in disaster mental healthcare may be introduced as a curricular initiative for students in the health-care profession. This will be directly reflected in society’s preparedness for disasters and emergencies in the future. An initiative for training in PFA as part of the undergraduate curriculum has been introduced for medical students inticipated that the training module will equip students to effecn Oman. In addition to contributing to personal wellbeing, it is atively contribute to the management of disasters and emergencies.

Abstract

Context and Aim:
The purpose of antenatal ultrasonography (USG) is to identify women at risk of complications due to various medical conditions such as pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH) and preeclampsia. Our aim was to describe the practical application of Doppler indices of the uterine, umbilical, and fetal middle cerebral artery (MCA) in patients with PIH by comparing them with perinatal outcome.

Materials and Method:
A prospective longitudinal study of 50 pregnant women with a clinical diagnosis of PIH referred for USG and color Doppler and followed for any adverse perinatal outcome till 7 days after delivery was done. Patients were examined using the convex probe of 1–5 MHz frequency on the IU22 (Philips) machine.

Results:
In this study, 46% of patients were in the age group of 26–30 years and 64% were multiparous. Out of 50 patients, 43 were live births and 7 stillbirths. Out of live births, 35 required neonatal intensive care unit admission and five had neonatal mortality. Umbilical artery Doppler indices were altered in 42, uterine artery in 26, and fetal MCA in nine patients. Absent and reversed end-diastolic flow in the umbilical artery, the persistence of diastolic notch in the uterine artery, and the brain-sparing effect in fetal MCA represented the most ominous signs. Doppler indices were abnormal in more than one artery in stillbirths and neonatal deaths.

Conclusion:
The knowledge of the uterine, umbilical, and fetal cerebral artery waveforms helps to assess compromised uteroplacental and fetoplacental circulation in patients with PIH at the earliest. Hence, the detection of altered indices should be an alerting signal for intensive fetal monitoring and prompt intervention.

Abstract
Tongue injuries in children vary from slight lacerations to complete amputation. It could be due to falls, self-mutilation, epilepsy, child abuse, or sports injuries. The anterior dorsum is the most common site, followed by the mid dorsum and anterior ventral part. These injuries may cause dysfunction of the tongue, hemorrhage, and disfigurement. Management of injuries of the tongue in young children is challenging. There are no established guidelines for managing tongue lacerations. This is a case report of a 3-year-old girl with a laceration on the anterolateral part of the tongue with nonapproximating wound edges. The laceration extended from the dorsal to the ventral part. The parents were apprehensive for the surgical management of the injury due to the age of their daughter. Hence, healing of the injury with conservative management without suturing was achieved. The management of traumatic injuries of the tongue in children is difficult due to their age and cooperation. The pediatrician has to decide whether to heal the tongue by primary or secondary intention. Our decision to allow the healing by secondary intention was successful. The tongue healed without any complications, barring a small scar, with satisfactory esthetic and functional outcome. Both the parents and the child were satisfied with the management of the injury.
Problem-based Learning in Dental Education

Published: April 2024

Abstract
Problem-based learning (PBL) is a student-centred pedagogy, in which students gain knowledge through the experience of solving an open-ended problem found in trigger material. In PBL, student learning centres on a complex problem that does not have a sole correct answer. Students initiate working in collaborative groups to recognise what they require to learn to solve a problem. Teachers act as facilitators here and provide resources and intense use of such resources along with group discussions, peer support and the use of virtual technologies to help students to self-directed learning (SDL). They engage in a concept called SDL and further apply their novel knowledge to the problem received and reflect on what they learned and the efficacy of the strategies employed. The effects of PBL on students learning are multiple. They gain cognitive knowledge and simultaneously improve their technical skills, developing reasoning abilities, learning group dynamics, incorporating attitudes and experiencing communication skills. This article provides an insight into the history of PBL, the significance and characteristics of PBL, the role of a student and facilitator, the advantages and disadvantages and the relevance of PBL in adult learning.

Published: April 2024

Abstract
Dislocation of the condyle of the mandible is a common condition. It may be unilateral or bilateral and can be acute, recurrent and rarely chronic. Dislocation can occur in any direction, with anterior dislocation being the most common. Acute mandibular dislocation is defined as displacement of the mandibular condyle anterior to the articular eminence, causing complete separation of articulating surfaces and fixation in that position. The event is painful and distressing for the patient and their family and poses quite a challenge to the dental team addressing it.
Polyetheretherketone: Properties, Modifications and Applications in General Dentistry
Authors: Mohammed Swalih T. 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
The commercialisation of polyetheretherketone (PEEK) of polyaryletherketone family paved for the new development in the medical field, especially in dentistry. The high performance and better bioavailability, biocompatibility and strength all together made this material a replacement for laboratory technicians to switch from conventional metallic and zirconium alloys to PEEK. The objective is to know the general characteristics, mechanical and chemical properties and various uses of PEEK in dentistry and the use of PEEK in implant prosthodontics. Various modifications of PEEK like Carbon fiber reinforced (CFR-PEEK) and Glass fiber reinforced (GFR-PEEK) were discovered to replace unreinforced PEEK due to its better physical and mechanical properties. The various applications of PEEK are also a main objective. PEEK has replaced titanium in implant dentistry because of its better tensile strength and its elastic modulus which is close to the dentin. The advantages and disadvantages of PEEK in dental implant prosthesis are also considered.
A new predictive scoring model for globus pharyngeus in patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease
Authors: Alshahrani Abdulaziz S. , Almasabi Faris 
Published: April 2024

Background:
Globus pharyngeus is a clinical condition, wherein, a patient senses a lump or a foreign body in the throat with a tightening or choking feeling. A strong association between globus pharyngeus and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) was reported. Therefore, we sought to investigate the predictive factors of globus pharyngeus in patients with established GERD and fit a predictive scoring model for globus pharyngeus.

Methods:
In this case-control study, 143 patients having globus pharyngeus along with GERD (case) and 109 patients having globus pharyngeus without GERD (control) were enrolled. Data comprising demographics, comorbidities, and psychosocial stress levels were recorded. The predictive factors of globus pharyngeus in patients with GERD were unraveled, and a predictive scoring model was fit for globus pharyngeus.

Results:
Proton pump inhibitor usage in the case group was significantly higher compared to controls (63.63% vs 24.78%, P < 0.001), and differences in Hiatus Hernia and Stress levels were highly significant between the two groups (P < 0.001). Multivariate logistic regression revealed that variates, Hiatus Hernia, psychosocial stress, and age were highly significant (P < 0.001) independent predictors of globus pharyngeus. Using the regression coefficients of all the independent predictor variables, a predictive scoring model was fitted, which yielded an area under receiver operating characteristic (AUROC) curve of 78.9.

Conclusion:
Hiatus hernia, psychosocial stress, and age are significant independent predictors of globus pharyngeus in GERD, and our predictive scoring model may help in identifying patients at higher odds of experiencing globus pharyngeus and modulate treatment accordingly.

Published: April 2024

Background:Older patients with constipation are at higher risk for inadequate bowel preparation, but there are currently no targeted strategies. This study aims to develop an abdominal vibration combined with walking exercise (AVCWE) program and assess its feasibility among older patients with constipation.Methods:Phase I: Using the Delphi technique, eight experts across three professional fields were consulted to develop the AVCWE program. The experts evaluated and provided recommendations on demonstration videos and detailed descriptions of the preliminary protocol. Phase II: A single-arm feasibility study of the AVCWE program was conducted on 30 older patients with constipation undergoing colonoscopy at a tertiary hospital in China. A 10-point exercise program evaluation form and several open-ended questions were used to gather feedback from participants regarding the program. In both phases, content analysis was used to critically analyze and summarize qualitative suggestions for protocol modifications.Results:Based on feedback from the expert panel, the AVCWE program developed in Phase I included two procedures during laxative ingestion: at least 5,500 steps of walking exercise and two cycles of moderate-intensity abdominal vibration (each cycle consisted of 10 min of vibration and 10 min of rest). The feasibility study in Phase II showed high positive patient feedback scores for the program, ranging from 9.07 ± 0.74 to 9.73 ± 0.52.Conclusion:The AVCWE program was developed by eight multidisciplinary experts and was well accepted by 30 older patients with constipation. Study participants believed that this program was simple, safe, appropriate, and helpful for their bowel preparation. The findings of this study may provide valuable information for optimizing bowel preparation in older patients with constipation.

ABSTRACT

Background:
Mandatory menu calorie labeling in restaurants is gaining popularity around the world as a beneficial strategy for promoting balanced energy consumption and encouraging healthier meal choices to lower obesity rates. Until now, calorie labeling effects on food purchasing are unclear.

Objective:
This study aimed to evaluate the calorie label-based purchasing, awareness, and factors that affect school-age children and adolescents in Saudi Arabia.

Materials and Methods:
An online questionnaire with simulated restaurant menus was distributed to determine the costumer’s behavior toward food purchasing. We targeted 431 school-aged children and adolescents (ages ranging from 7 to 18 years old).

Results:
Approximately half of participants (51%) noted the calorie labeling on the menu, although only 17% made a purchase based on the calorie labeling, and those who exercise regularly were more calorie-based purchasers in this study (P < 0.001). The association between knowledge and calorie label-based purchasing was significant. When the level of knowledge was compared to other demographic characteristics, it was determined that father’s education (P = 0.040) and physical activity (P = 0.015) showed a significant association even though nutrition education was provided to only 29% of participants in schools.

Conclusions:
The collected data clarifies children’s and adolescents’ attitudes toward calorie labeling, in addition to the other factors that influence restaurant ordering decisions.

Timescale dependence of airborne fraction and underlying climate–carbon-cycle feedbacks for weak perturbations in CMIP5 models
Authors: Torres Mendonça Guilherme L. , Pongratz Julia , Reick Christian H. 
Published: April 2024

Abstract. The response of the global climate–carbon-cycle system to anthropogenic perturbations happens differently at different timescales. The unravelling of the memory structure underlying this timescale dependence is a major challenge in climate research. Recently the widely applied α–β–γ framework proposed by Friedlingstein et al. (2003) to quantify climate–carbon-cycle feedbacks has been generalized to account also for such internal memory. By means of this generalized framework, we investigate the timescale dependence of the airborne fraction for a set of Earth system models that participated in CMIP5 (Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5). The analysis is based on published simulation data from C4MIP-type (Coupled Climate–Carbon Cycle Model Intercomparison) experiments with these models. Independently of the considered scenario, the proposed generalization describes at global scale the reaction of the climate–carbon system to sufficiently weak perturbations. One prediction from this theory is how the timescale-resolved airborne fraction depends on the underlying feedbacks between climate and the carbon cycle. These feedbacks are expressed as timescale-resolved functions depending solely on analogues of the α, β, and γ sensitivities, introduced in the generalized framework as linear response functions. In this way a feedback-dependent quantity (airborne fraction) is predicted from feedback-independent quantities (the sensitivities). This is the key relation underlying our study. As a preparatory step, we demonstrate the predictive power of the generalized framework exemplarily for simulations with the Max Planck Institute (MPI) Earth System Model. The whole approach turns out to be valid for perturbations of up to an about 100 ppm CO2 rise above the pre-industrial level; beyond this value the response becomes non-linear. By means of the generalized framework we then derive the timescale dependence of the airborne fraction from the underlying climate–carbon-cycle feedbacks for an ensemble of CMIP5 models. Our analysis reveals that for all studied CMIP5 models (1) the total climate–carbon-cycle feedback is negative at all investigated timescales, (2) the airborne fraction generally decreases for increasing timescales, and (3) the land biogeochemical feedback dominates the model spread in the airborne fraction at all these timescales. Qualitatively similar results were previously found by employing the original α–β–γ framework to particular perturbation scenarios, but our study demonstrates that, although obtained from particular scenario simulations, they are characteristics of the coupled climate–carbon-cycle system as such, valid at all considered timescales. These more general conclusions are obtained by accounting for the internal memory of the system as encoded in the generalized sensitivities, which in contrast to the original α, β, and γ are scenario-independent.
