Authors: Simion Petruta-Simona , Ciornei Laurentiu , Todirica Ioana Claudia , Petcu Victor , Joita-Pacureanu Maria 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Bibliometric analysis is a significant method used in scientific research to evaluate extensive and rich areas of specialized research. This study explored biodiversity as the main focus, using bibliometric data from the ScienceDirect and Scopus bases. The analysis found 1115 appearances for the keyword “biodiversity” in the top 10 specialized journals, highlighting journals such as “Biological Conservation” and “Science of The Total Environment”. The clustering of keywords illustrated seven interest groups, highlighting biodiversity, the Romanian context, forestry, climate change and conservation. The time analysis also revealed the thematic evolution of the research, moving from morphology and nitrogen issues to topics such as conservation, climate change and environmental protection. Despite the usefulness of bibliometric analysis, it brings up the limitations and precautions required in the use of bibliometric data, highlighting the importance of a rigorous data cleaning process. It is also stressed that bibliometric analysis is better suited for short-term forecasts than for overly ambitious conclusions about long-term impacts. However, this method is a useful tool for specialized research, facilitating the development of knowledge in various areas of interest.

Abstract

Objective
To assess gingival health and predictors of relapse related to braided-wire bonded retainers after the active phase of comprehensive orthodontic treatment.

Materials and methods
Fifty-one subjects were recruited in a prospective study of whom 42 were available for analysis after 2 years of retention (pre-therapeutic ages 11–18 years; 66% female). A rectangular wire retainer (0.027 × 0.011″) was bonded to the mandibular incisors. Little’s index of incisor irregularity; intercanine width; the accumulation of biofilm, calculus and gingivitis; and the incidence of retainer detachment, were recorded. Subjects were examined before orthodontic therapy, upon therapy completion, and after 2 years of retention.

Results
The incidence of retainer detachment over the 2 years was 27%. The post-treatment incidence of irregularity was 17%, and intercanine width reduction was 24%. Calculus accumulation increased significantly during retention (p < 0.001) but not the extent of gingivitis. A multiple logistic regression demonstrated that an increase of mandibular intercanine width by ≥3 mm correspondingly increased the odds of relapse 14.3 times (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.1–196.1; p = 0.046). Patients presenting with retainer failure were 10 times (95% CI 1.6–62.8; p = 0.014) more likely to experience relapse. Subjects who experienced relapse had retainer failure earlier than those without relapse (19 vs. 23 months; p = 0.003). The occurence of relapse was not related to a treatment change in incisor irregularity, the duration of treatment, the age of the patient, gender nor to a change of intercanine width during retention.

Conclusion
Post-treatment changes in the mandibular arch incorporating bonded retainers were not large, but were common. An increase in mandibular incisor irregularity during retention is mostly related to treatment-induced intercanine width expansion. The bonded retainer often detached and increased calculus accumulation.

Published: November 2023

<p><strong>Background and Objective:</strong> &nbsp;Dermatophyte infections require laboratory diagnosis before treatment is started. Although direct microscopy is routinely performed but culture of dermatophytes is the gold standard. However, it takes about 4 weeks for species identification on primary media. Our aim was to compare dermatophyte test medium (DTM) as a screening medium for the isolation of dermatophytes in comparison with sabouraud dextrose agar (SDA).</p>
<p><strong>Methods:</strong> &nbsp;It was a comparative study carried out at the Department of Microbiology of Post Graduate Medical Institute, Lahore over a period of nine months. Samples were collected from one hundred patients with clinically suspected dermatophytoses after taking informed written consent. The samples were examined microscopically and then inoculated on two types of culture media, one Sabouraud dextrose agar (SDA) with added chloramphenicol, gentacin and cycloheximide and other dermatophyte test medium (DTM) with added chlortetracycline, gentacin and cyclohexamide.</p>
<p><strong>Results:</strong> &nbsp;Fungal growth was observed in fifty-six samples on culture. Out of the fifty-six positive on cultures, nineteen were that of dermatophytes. Out of n = 100 patients, ten were positive on SDA while n = 14 dermatophyte species were able to grow on DTM. A significantly higher positivity (P &sup3; 0.05) for isolating dermatophytes was observed by DTM as compared to SDA. DTM was able to isolate (71%) of the dermatophytes in first 10 days. Isolation rate of dermatophyte species was higher (73.68%) on DTM as compared to SDA which was 52.6%.</p>
<p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>&nbsp;Authors recommend the use of dermatophyte test medium for the primary isolation and identification of dermatophyte species to be more effective and time saving.</p>

Published: November 2023

<p><strong>Background and Objective:</strong> &nbsp;Mitochondrial encephalomyopathies represent a clinically heterogeneous group of disorders resulting from abnormal mitochondrial function. This study investigates the clinical and genetic characteristics of families with mitochondrial encephalomyopathy.</p>
<p><strong>Methods: </strong>&nbsp;The clinical manifestations, biopsy and gene detection were retrospectively analyzed for four probands with definitively diagnosed mitochondrial encephalomyopathy with lactic acidosis and stroke-like episodes (MELAS) from three families with MELAS and/or maternally inherited diabetes and deafness (MIDD).</p>
<p><strong>Results:</strong> &nbsp;The initial symptoms of probands were convulsive headache and/or epilepsy. The members of the three families also had diabetes, deafness, muscle weakness and short statures. Typical characteristics were indicated by muscle biopsy and gene detection in all.</p>
<p><strong>Conclusion:</strong> &nbsp;We reveal that the same family can have MIDD and MELAS cases, which clearly show that the unique mutation may cause different syndromes in one family. Neurologists should take into account more possibilities and phenotypes in screening and genetic counselling for the families of probands.</p>

Published: November 2023

<p>Background and Objective: &nbsp;With the increasing life expectancy of the populations and rising prevalence of depressive and neurocognitive disorders, there is a need to address the association between the two in terms of magnitude of the neurocognitive disorders and the severity of depression. The current study addresses this issue and aims to observe the association between the two.</p>
<p>Methods: &nbsp;This cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted from September 2014 to March 2015 at the Institute of Psychiatry at Benazir Bhutto Hospital, Rawalpindi, Pakistan where consecutive patients aged &ge; 65 years were screened for depression using Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS). Neurocognitive impairment was assessed using Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE). -square test was used to compute the association between depression severity and neurocognitive deficit.</p>
<p>Results: &nbsp;There was approximately equal gender distribution with a mean age of 63.6 &plusmn; 9.68 years. Eighty six percent of the study population was found to be suffering from clinical depression while seventy percent had neurocognitive deficit. The severity of depression came out to be directly proportional to the magnitude of the neurocognitive disorder (P = 0.000) with 68.8% of the patients with severe depression having moderate to severe neurocognitive deficit.</p>
<p>Conclusions: &nbsp;Depression is associated with significant neurocognitive impairment in elderly in the local population; higher the severity of depression more the magnitude of cognitive impairment.</p>

Published: November 2023

Description of the problem: Pharmacy students are expected to learn how condition and patient-specific factors influence medication decision-making. Our objective was to create an interactive learning tool that would support students as they learn how individual factors change over-the-counter (OTC) medication recommendations.
Description of the innovation: OTC Coach was created to allow student pharmacists to practice making recommendations about OTC medications. First year student pharmacists enrolled in a required self-care therapeutics course were given access to the optional OTC Coach, which included electronic decision algorithms for 10 topics. Student perceptions were collected via an online survey.
Critical analysis: Two-thirds of the first-year students enrolled in the self-care therapeutics course activated their OTC Coach account (n=53/79, 67%). Among the students who completed the survey and reported using the tool (n=60/75, 80%), there was agreement that it help them learn the course material (78%), increased their confidence in making appropriate therapeutic recommendations (78%), increased their confidence when answering examination questions (63%), and improved their examination performance (61%).
Next steps: Implementing an electronic tool positively supported student learning about OTC medication recommendations, according to student self-report. The tool is being expanded to include an option for students to generate a series of scenarios with randomized patient and condition factors to further allow students to efficiently practice making repeated patient-centered recommendations.
