Published: October 2023

AbstractObjectivesIn celebration of the journal's 50th anniversary, the aim of the study was to review the whole collection of Community Dentistry and Oral Epidemiology (CDOE) publications from 1973 to 2022 and provide a complete overview of the main publication characteristics.MethodsThe study used bibliometric techniques such as performance and science mapping analysis of 3428 articles extracted from the Scopus database. The data were analysed using the ‘Bibliometrix’ package in R. The journal's scientific production was examined, along with the yearly citation count, the distribution of publications based on authors, the corresponding author's country and affiliation and citation count, citing source and keywords. Bibliometric network maps were constructed to determine the conceptual, intellectual and social collaborative structure over the past 50 years. The trending research topics and themes were identified.ResultsThe total number of articles and average citations has increased over the years. D Locker, AJ Spencer, A Sheiham and WM Thomson were the most frequently published authors, and PE Petersen, GD Slade and AI Ismail published papers with the highest citations. The most published countries were the United States, United Kingdom, Brazil and Canada, frequently engaging in collaborative efforts. The most common keywords used were ‘dental caries’, ‘oral epidemiology’ and ‘oral health’. The trending topics were healthcare and health disparities, social determinants of health, systematic review and health inequalities. Epidemiology, oral health and disparities were highly researched areas.ConclusionThis bibliometric study reviews CDOE's significant contribution to dental public health by identifying key research trends, themes, influential authors and collaborations. The findings provide insights into the need to increase publications from developing countries, improve gender diversity in authorship and broaden the scope of research themes.
Flapless dental implant surgery enabled by haptic robotic guidance: A case report
Authors: Ali Mohamed 
Published: October 2023

AbstractThis case report presents the use of haptic robotic technology in one patient with six implants placed in the maxilla and five implants in the lower mandible with the goal of individual single implant supported crowns to be placed over each implant after 6 months. All implants were placed using a flapless technique, with one immediate implant placement after extraction. All implants were placed with a high degree of accuracy relative to the pre‐operative plan as determined by post‐op CBCT analysis with an average angular deviation of 2.58° and positional deviations at the coronal and apical aspects of the implant around 1 mm (0.93 and 1.06 mm, respectively). Total surgical time of less than 2 h. Haptic robotics physically guides the location, orientation, and depth of the tools during both drilling and implantation and thus allows for accurate placement as well as the intra‐operative flexibility to change the plan as necessary while providing excellent visualization and irrigation. This robotic technology provides a treatment that focuses on accuracy and safety providing the best chance at excellent surgical outcomes for the patient.
Scientific evidence does not support the translocation of guanacos in Argentina

Published: October 2023

AbstractThe Argentinian Ministry of Environment has approved the translocation of 45 guanacos from Southern Patagonia to the Pampas region, a distance of 1500 km, as the initial phase toward future translocations into a National Park located in the Chaco region, another 1600 km further North. This decision raises concerns about the technical and ethical aspects of the translocation. Firstly, there is a lack of proper evaluation and scientific evidence to support the need, opportunity, and feasibility of this translocation. The guanaco population is currently over one million and is increasing, and genetic differences exist among local populations. The translocation could produce anthropogenic‐driven admixed populations, leading to genetic swamping and disrupting evolutionary processes. Second, there are ethical conflicts around managing wild species populations that prioritize private objectives and disregard local, publicly funded science. Rewilding projects require a deep understanding of interacting ecosystem processes, and of the socio‐economic context. This management decision violates guiding principles for rewilding and should have followed proper scientific evaluation and transparent local consultation.
Changes in opioid agonist treatment initiation among people prescribed opioids for pain following voluntary and mandatory prescription drug monitoring program implementation: A time series analysis

Published: October 2023

AbstractIntroductionPrescription drug monitoring programs (PDMP) are increasingly used to identify people prescribed high‐dose opioids. However, little is known about whether PDMPs impact opioid agonist treatment (OAT) uptake, the gold standard for opioid use disorder. This study examined the impact of PDMP implementation on OAT initiation among people prescribed opioids, in Victoria, Australia.MethodsDe‐identified electronic records from all 464 Victorian general practices included in the POLAR database were used. OAT initiation was defined as a new OAT prescription between 1 April 2017 and 31 December 2020, with no OAT prescriptions in the year prior. Interrupted time series analyses were used to compare outcomes before (April 2017 to March 2019) and after (April 2019 to December 2020) PDMP implementation. Binary logistic regression was used to examine differences in patients' characteristics associated with OAT initiation prior to and after PDMP implementation.ResultsIn total, 1610 people initiated OAT, 946 before and 664 after PDMP implementation. No significant immediate (step) or longer‐term (slope) changes in the rates of OAT initiation were identified following PDMP implementation, after adjusting for seasonality. A high opioid dose (>100 mg oral morphine equivalent) in the 6‐months prior to OAT initiation was the only significant characteristic associated with reduced odds of OAT initiation post‐PDMP implementation (odds ratio 0.29; 0.23–0.37).Discussion and ConclusionsPDMP implementation did not have a significant impact on OAT initiation among people prescribed opioids. Findings suggest additional clinical initiatives that support OAT initiation are required to ensure PDMPs meet their intended target of reducing opioid‐related harms.

AbstractBackground and purposeData on clinical features and outcomes of benign recurrent lymphocytic meningitis (BRLM) are limited.MethodsThis was a nationwide population‐based cohort study of all adults hospitalized for BRLM associated with herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV‐2) at the departments of infectious diseases in Denmark from 2015 to 2020. Patients with single‐episode HSV‐2 meningitis were included for comparison.ResultsForty‐seven patients with BRLM (mean annual incidence 1.2/1,000,000 adults) and 118 with single‐episode HSV‐2 meningitis were included. The progression risk from HSV‐2 meningitis to BRLM was 22% (95% confidence interval [CI] 15%–30%). The proportion of patients with the triad of headache, neck stiffness and photophobia/hyperacusis was similar between BRLM and single‐episode HSV‐2 meningitis (16/43 [37%] vs. 46/103 [45%]; p = 0.41), whilst the median cerebrospinal fluid leukocyte count was lower in BRLM (221 cells vs. 398 cells; p = 0.02). Unfavourable functional outcomes (Glasgow Outcome Scale score of 1–4) were less frequent in BRLM at all post‐discharge follow‐up visits. During the study period, 10 (21%) patients with BRLM were hospitalized for an additional recurrence (annual rate 6%, 95% CI 3%–12%). The hazard ratio for an additional recurrence was 3.93 (95% CI 1.02–15.3) for patients with three or more previous episodes of meningitis.ConclusionsClinical features of BRLM were similar to those of single‐episode HSV‐2 meningitis, whilst post‐discharge outcomes were more favourable. Patients with three or more previous episodes of meningitis had higher risk of an additional recurrence.
Hidden in the ocean: The importance of detecting hybridisation in pelagic and deep‐water fishes
Authors: Pecoraro Carlo , Papetti Chiara , Fruciano Carmelo 
Published: October 2023

AbstractThe widespread occurrence of hybridisation in fishes suggests the need to revisit its importance for both a basic understanding of biological principles and practical applications for management and conservation. Despite evidence of its pervasiveness, the phenomenon of hybridisation in fish is not uniformly studied across species and environments. We note how natural hybridisation in pelagic and deep‐sea fish has been rarely reported. For this reason, we carry out an analysis using both standard and phylogenetic comparative methods. Our results suggest a lack of evidence for the idea that pelagic and deep‐sea fish are inherently less prone to hybridise. Likely, hybridisation and introgression are systematically underestimated in these groups. In light of this, we discuss why underestimation of hybridisation is problematic, and what may be done to ameliorate the situation. We propose scalable and cost‐effective prioritisation, sampling and analysis strategies, to ease existing biases in assessing the impact of hybridisation among pelagic and deep‐sea species and to ultimately improve the management and conservation – as well as basic biological knowledge – of these important species.

AbstractReplacing synthetic fertilizer by organic manure has been shown to reduce emissions of nitrous oxide (N2O), but the specific roles of ammonia oxidizing microorganisms and gross nitrogen (N) transformation in regulating N2O remain unclear. Here, we examined the effect of completely replacing chemical fertilizer with organic manure on N2O emissions, ammonia oxidizers, gross N transformation rates using a 13‐year field manipulation experiment. Our results showed that organic manure reduced cumulative N2O emissions by 16.3%–210.3% compared to chemical fertilizer. The abundance of ammonia oxidizing bacteria (AOB) was significantly lower in organic manure compared with chemical fertilizer during three growth stages of maize. Organic manure also significantly decreased AOB alpha diversity and changed their community structure. However, organic manure substitution increased the abundance of ammonia oxidizing archaea and the alpha diversity of comammox Nitrospira compared to chemical fertilizer. Interestingly, organic manure decreased organic N mineralization by 23.2%–32.9%, and autotrophic nitrification rate by 10.5%–45.4%, when compared with chemical fertilizer. This study also found a positive correlation between AOB abundance, organic N mineralization and gross autotrophic nitrification rate with N2O emission, and their contribution to N2O emission was supported by random forest analysis. Our study highlights the key roles of ammonia oxidizers and N transformation rates in predicting cropland N2O.

AbstractCrop residues are important inputs of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) to soils and thus directly and indirectly affect nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions. As the current inventory methodology considers N inputs by crop residues as the sole determining factor for N2O emissions, it fails to consider other underlying factors and processes. There is compelling evidence that emissions vary greatly between residues with different biochemical and physical characteristics, with the concentrations of mineralizable N and decomposable C in the residue biomass both enhancing the soil N2O production potential. High concentrations of these components are associated with immature residues (e.g., cover crops, grass, legumes, and vegetables) as opposed to mature residues (e.g., straw). A more accurate estimation of the short‐term (months) effects of the crop residues on N2O could involve distinguishing mature and immature crop residues with distinctly different emission factors. The medium‐term (years) and long‐term (decades) effects relate to the effects of residue management on soil N fertility and soil physical and chemical properties, considering that these are affected by local climatic and soil conditions as well as land use and management. More targeted mitigation efforts for N2O emissions, after addition of crop residues to the soil, are urgently needed and require an improved methodology for emission accounting. This work needs to be underpinned by research to (1) develop and validate N2O emission factors for mature and immature crop residues, (2) assess emissions from belowground residues of terminated crops, (3) improve activity data on management of different residue types, in particular immature residues, and (4) evaluate long‐term effects of residue addition on N2O emissions.
When should sunscreen be applied: The balance between health benefit and adverse consequences to humans and the environment
Authors: Diffey Brian 
Published: October 2023

AbstractObjectiveTo propose a strategy for using sunscreens that optimizes the balance between skin health and adverse effects to humans and the environment.MethodsA model was developed to explore the relationship between sunscreen usage and personal sun exposure throughout the year in populations resident at different latitudes.ResultsThere is little biological justification in terms of skin health for applying sunscreen over the 4–6 winter months at latitudes of 45° N and higher, whereas year‐round sunscreen is advised at latitudes of 30° N and lower. Avoiding sunscreen application at times when it is biologically unnecessary results in an annual reduction in sunscreen use of 25%. Furthermore, using products containing UV filters over the winter months at more northerly latitudes could lead to a higher number of people with vitamin D deficiency. The single largest use of sunscreen is on a sun‐seeking holiday and encouragement to make more use of clothing and shade would appreciably reduce the sunscreen burden to the environment.ConclusionWe need to use sunscreens wisely so that we gain the health benefit from their use while at the same time limiting possible harm to ourselves and the environment.
Novel nutrient dense quinoa fractions: physical, functional, thermal and rheological characterisation for potential industry application
Authors: Ray Amrita , Sakhare Suresh D. , Srivastava Alok Kumar 
Published: October 2023

SummaryQuinoa is known for its unique nutritional characteristics and contains good quality protein and fat along with appreciable amount of starch, dietary fibre and micronutrients. The fractionation facilitated the separation of the botanical components of the grain which were found to be rich in specific nutrients. The protein‐ and fat‐rich fraction (PFRF) projected 2.15 times protein and 2.74 times fat, while fibre‐rich fraction (FRF) showed 2.35 times fibre content as compared to quinoa whole grain. Starch‐rich fraction (SRF) with 82.41% starch was lower in protein content. FRF showed higher water holding capacity compared with other quinoa samples where bulk density was reported highest in PFRF fraction (670 kg per m3). These fractions showed variation in their gelatinisation enthalpy for the thermal properties. Foaming and emulsion properties were significantly impacted by the composition of the fractions and varied at different pH. The apparent viscosity was recorded highest for FRF, where SRF was lowest. At varied temperatures tested, the exhibited behaviour of all samples was found to be non‐Newtonian in nature. Present study concludes that quinoa physical fractionation produced novel nutrient dense fractions with unique techno‐functional features and has potential to be explored for food product development as independent functional ingredient.
Predictive validity and reliability of two pressure injury risk assessment scales at a neonatal intensive care unit
Authors: Shi Zeyao , Li Xiaowen 
Published: October 2023

AbstractTo compare the predictive ability and reliability of two pressure injury (PI) assessment tools, the Neonatal/Infant(N/I) Braden Q and Braden QD scale, in neonates. A prospective and cross‐sectional study. This study was conducted in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) of a tertiary‐level university hospital in China between April and June 2023. A total of 410 patients were included in this study. Risk assessment was performed with the N/I Braden Q scale, followed immediately with the Braden QD scale once daily. Risk assessment was terminated when the PI developed or the patient was discharged from the NICU or died. Each patient's final risk assessment was considered in the data analysis. The area under the curve (AUC) of the two scales was 0.879 and 0.857, respectively. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and Cronbach's α coefficient of the N/I Braden Q Scale scores were 0.844, 0.833, 0.30, 0.984 and 0.806, respectively. The Braden QD scale scores were 0.938, 0.733, 0.229, 0.993 and 0.727, respectively. Both scales are valid and reliable in predicting the risk of PI in the NICU. The N/I Braden Q Scale was better to distinguish patients at PI risk and not at PI risk than the Braden QD scale. The literature is limited on this topic. This study provides insight into the comparison of different pressure injury risk assessment scales. The findings of this study may guide nurses to choose a suitable tool to assess the risk of pressure injury in neonates.

AbstractRice yellow mottle virus (RYMV) is widespread in mainland Africa and adjoining islands but to date its occurrence in Zambia is unknown. In March 2022, field surveys were conducted in Luapula, Northern, Western and Eastern provinces of Zambia to determine the occurrence of RYMV and its genetic relationship with global isolates of the virus. Thirty‐three paddy rice fields were visited and 108 leaf tissue samples were collected for analysis. The incidence of yellow mottle symptoms ranged from 25% to 43% in 10 (30.3%) of 33 fields and RYMV was detected in 35 (32.4%) of 108 samples by RT‐PCR with virus‐specific primers. A subset of 27 RYMV‐positive samples was constituted from which full‐length (720 bp) coat protein (CP) regions were amplified followed by bidirectional Sanger sequencing. Phylogenetic analysis of the CP cistron revealed distinct clustering of the isolates from Zambia in a monophyletic clade as subtype of the RYMV strain S4. Three isolates were randomly selected and used to obtain complete RYMV genomes of 4448–4449 nucleotides (nt). Comparative analysis of both the CP and the complete RYMV genomes from Zambia with their corresponding sequences in GenBank revealed that they shared 92%–93.2% nt identities with strain S4 isolates. These results confirm for the first time occurrence of RYMV strain S4 in Zambia and further reinforce the need for phytosanitary vigilance to safeguard rice production in Zambia.

SummarySleep loss impairs cognition; however, individuals differ in their response to sleep loss. Current methods to identify an individual's vulnerability to sleep loss involve time‐consuming sleep‐loss challenges and neurobehavioural tests. Here, we sought to identify electroencephalographic markers of sleep‐loss vulnerability obtained from routine night sleep. We retrospectively analysed four studies in which 50 healthy young adults (21 women) completed a laboratory baseline‐sleep phase followed by a sleep‐loss challenge. After classifying subjects as resilient or vulnerable to sleep loss, we extracted three electroencephalographic features from four channels during the baseline nights, evaluated the discriminatory power of these features using the first two studies (discovery), and assessed reproducibility of the results using the remaining two studies (reproducibility). In the discovery analysis, we found that, compared to resilient subjects, vulnerable subjects exhibited: (1) higher slow‐wave activity power in channel O1 (p < 0.0042, corrected for multiple comparisons) and in channels O2 and C3 (p < 0.05, uncorrected); (2) higher slow‐wave activity rise rate in channels O1 and O2 (p < 0.05, uncorrected); and (3) lower sleep spindle frequency in channels C3 and C4 (p < 0.05, uncorrected). Our reproducibility analysis confirmed the discovery results on slow‐wave activity power and slow‐wave activity rise rate, and for these two electroencephalographic features we observed consistent group‐difference trends across all four channels in both analyses. The higher slow‐wave activity power and slow‐wave activity rise rate in vulnerable individuals suggest that they have a persistently higher sleep pressure under normal rested conditions.
