The oral health-related quality of life for individuals with fetal alcohol spectrum disorder – a cross-sectional study
Authors: Khawer Mohammad Saad , Da Silva Keith 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Background
The oral health status of an individual can dramatically influence quality of life. Most individuals in Canada report having good oral health, however, this is not true for individuals with developmental disabilities such as fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD). The purpose of this study is to compare the oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) of individuals with FASD and the general population in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Additionally, it aims to suggest ways to improve the oral health status and OHRQoL of these individuals.

Methods
For this cross-sectional study, the Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14) survey was used to assess the impact that oral health related problems can have on an individual’s quality life. This study used a cross-sectional cohort study design with a survey methodology. The sample population compromised of 154 individuals with FASD along with a separate control group of 154 otherwise healthy adults.

Results
The results of the study showed that most of the individuals in the FASD group experienced pain in the past month. In both groups, cost was most frequently cited as a barrier to accessing care. The majority of individuals in the control group experienced a low impact across all OHIP-14 domains except for physical disabilities. However, in the FASD group, most individuals experienced higher impact scores in some of the categories including functional limitation, psychological discomfort, psychological disability and handicap.

Conclusion
The findings clearly demonstrate that there is a discernible effect on an individual’s quality of life if they have poor oral health. In conclusion, further research is required to determine the most effective methods to improve the OHRQoL of individuals with disabilities.

Published: October 2023

Abstract
Background
Over a decade of vector control by indoor residual spraying (IRS) and long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) distribution on the mainland, and only LLINs on islands had a minimal impact on disease burden in Nchelenge district, northern Zambia. Anopheles funestus and Anopheles gambiae are vectors known only from the mainland. Understanding vector bionomics in the district is necessary for planning and targeting effective vector control. This study aimed to provide information on abundance, seasonality, and Plasmodium falciparum sporozoite infectivity of malaria vectors in Nchelenge, including islands.

Methods
Mosquitoes were collected in 192 CDC indoor light traps set in 56 households between January 2015 and January 2016. Morphological and molecular species identifications and P. falciparum circumsporoites by ELISA were performed. Mosquito counts and relative abundances from the islands and mainland were compared, and household factors associated with vector counts were determined.

Results
A total of 5888 anophelines were collected during the study. Of these, 5,704 were female Anopheles funestus sensu lato (s.l.) and 248 female An. gambiae s.l. The highest proportion of An. funestus (n = 4090) was from Chisenga Island and An. gambiae (n = 174) was from Kilwa Island. The highest estimated counts per trap for An. funestus s.l. were from Chisenga island, (89.9, p < 0.001) and from the dry season (78.6, p < 001). For An. gambiae the highest counts per trap were from Kilwa island (3.1, p < 0.001) and the rainy season (2.5, p = 0.007). The highest estimated annual entomological inoculation rate was from Chisenga Island with 91.62 ib/p/y followed by Kilwa Island with 29.77 ib/p/yr, and then Mainland with 19.97 ib/p/yr.

Conclusions
There was varied species abundance and malaria transmission risk across sites and seasons. The risk of malaria transmission was perennial and higher on the islands. The minimal impact of vector control efforts on the mainland was evident, but limited overall. Vector control intervention coverage with effective tools needs to be extended to the islands to effectively control malaria transmission in Nchelenge district.

Published: October 2023

Abstract
Objectives
The primary objective of the current study is to assess which is better for obtaining the proper femoral rotation during IMN of femoral fractures, the radiological or clinical method. The secondary objectives were to document malrotation's incidence and its effect on the hip and knee functional outcomes.

Methods
Thirty-three patients with unilateral femoral shaft fractures were treated using intramedullary nails (IMN) on a usual radiolucent operative table. Intraoperative rotation adjustment was performed using a radiological method (relying on the contralateral lesser trochanter profile) in 16 patients (group A), while in 17 patients, a clinical method was used (group B). Postoperative assessment of malrotation was performed using a CT scan, and 15 degrees was the cutoff value where below is an acceptable rotation (group I) and above is true malrotation (group II). Functional assessment was performed using the Harris hip score (HHS), the Tegner Lysholm Knee Scoring Scale (TLKSS), and the Neer score.

Results
The patients' mean age was 30.7 ± 9.3 years; 81.8% were males, and the left side was injured in 63.6% of patients. After a mean follow up of 18.2 ± 6.9 months, all fractures were united, and the overall mean amount of rotational difference between the fractured and the contralateral side was 14.7° ± 6.0 (3–29.4), 84.8% were in external rotation. No difference in the mean rotational deformity in group A compared to group B. Measurements were 13.9 ± 6.7 and 15.7 ± 5.5, respectively (p = 0.47). Seventeen (51.5%) patients in group I with a mean deformity of 9.8 ± 3.4 (3–14.7), while group II consisted of 16 (48.5%) patients with a mean deformity of 19.6 ± 3.7 (15.3–29.4). There was no difference in the functional scores between group I and group II; HHS was 89.4 ± 7.4 versus 87.7 ± 8.9 (p = 0.54), TLKSS was 84.6 ± 9.6 versus 80.4 ± 13.9 (p = 0.32), and Neer score was 87.9 ± 9.5 versus 83 ± 12.5 (p = 0.21) for group I and group II, respectively.

Conclusion
There was no difference in malrotation incidence after unilateral femoral fractures IMN with either an intraoperative clinical or radiological method for rotational adjustment; furthermore, malrotation did not affect the functional outcomes.
Can prophylactic HPV vaccination reduce the recurrence of cervical lesions after surgery? Review and prospect
Authors: Han Ling , Zhang Bingyi 
Published: October 2023

AbstractWomen with HSIL typically undergo conization/LEEP to remove cervical lesions, but the risk of HSIL lesions returning after surgical treatment remains higher than in the general population. HPV vaccination is essential to prevent cervical cancer. However, the effect of prophylactic HPV vaccination on reducing the risk of recurrent cervical lesions after surgical treatment remains unclear. This review aims to analyze and summarize the latest literature on the role of prophylactic HPV vaccine in reducing the recurrence of cervical lesions after surgery in patients with HSIL, and to review and update the history, efficacy, effectiveness and safety of HPV vaccine, focusing on the current status of global HPV vaccine implementation and obstacles.

Abstract
Background
Surgical resection for perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (pCCA) is associated with high operative risks. Impaired liver regeneration in patients with pre-existing liver disease may contribute to posthepatectomy liver failure (PHLF) and postoperative mortality. This study aimed to determine the incidence of hepatic steatosis and fibrosis and their association with PHLF and 90-day postoperative mortality in pCCA patients.

Methods
Patients who underwent a major liver resection for pCCA were included in the study between 2000 and 2021 from three tertiary referral hospitals. Histopathologic assessment of hepatic steatosis and fibrosis was performed. The primary outcomes were PHLF and 90-day mortality.

Results
Of the 401 included patients, steatosis was absent in 334 patients (83.3%), mild in 58 patients (14.5%) and moderate to severe in 9 patients (2.2%). There was no fibrosis in 92 patients (23.1%), periportal fibrosis in 150 patients (37.6%), septal fibrosis in 123 patients (30.8%), and biliary cirrhosis in 34 patients (8.5%). Steatosis (≥ 5%) was not associated with PHLF (odds ratio [OR] 1.36; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.69–2.68) or 90-day mortality (OR 1.22; 95% CI 0.62–2.39). Neither was fibrosis (i.e., periportal, septal, or biliary cirrhosis) associated with PHLF (OR 0.76; 95% CI 0.41–1.41) or 90-day mortality (OR 0.60; 95% CI 0.33–1.06). The independent risk factors for PHLF were preoperative cholangitis (OR 2.38; 95% CI 1. 36–4.17) and future liver remnant smaller than 40% (OR 2.40; 95% CI 1.31–4.38). The independent risk factors for 90-day mortality were age of 65 years or older (OR 2.40; 95% CI 1.36–4.23) and preoperative cholangitis (OR 2.25; 95% CI 1.30–3.87).

Conclusion
In this study, no association could be demonstrated between hepatic steatosis or fibrosis and postoperative outcomes after resection of pCCA.

Authors: Castillo-Valencia Maria , Bahos-Mendoza Diana Marcela 
Published: October 2023

Esta investigación analiza el papel de las mujeres como agentes determinantes en el desarrollo de siete asentamientos humanos de desarrollo (AHDI) incompleto en las zonas de Ladera y Oriente en Cali. Usamos un enfoque feminista del cuidado para mostrar cómo el trabajo individual y colectivo de las mujeres en los lugares a donde llegan no sólo mejora sus condiciones de vida, sino las de su familia y de todos sus habitantes. Usando datos del Censo Nacional de Población y Vivienda (CNPV) del 2018 y del SISBÉN IV del 2020 se describen sus precarias condiciones socioeconómicas para luego, identificar cómo ellas logran trascender en su papel de cuidadoras en la esfera privada del hogar a la pública representada por la comunidad, con información proveniente de entrevistas semiestructuradas y grupos focales. Clasificada en cuatro ejes temáticos: características sociodemográficas, memorias de asentamiento y reubicación, escenarios de participación y obstáculos, y percepción y violencias basadas en género. Se resalta su trabajo colectivo, sus luchas y las estrategias que emplean para lograr mejoras en el lugar donde residen, identificando diferencias entre asentamientos de ladera y oriente en la forma en que las mujeres acceden a los servicios públicos y en los logros obtenidos Aunque existen diversos estudios sobre el trabajo comunitario en los AHDI, este trabajo busca diferenciar con enfoque de género, el rol y agencia de la mujer frente al de los hombres, en estos procesos que llevan a un mejor hábitat en el asentamiento.

Published: October 2023

Essa pesquisa tem como objetivo analisar a existência da desigualdade social no Brasil no âmbito da educação. O problema da pesquisa é: como a desigualdade social na educação em tempos de pandemia da COVID-19 afetaram a vida de crianças e adolescentes? Com a chegada da pandemia em terras brasileiras no início de 2020 e perpetuando até 2021 e 2022, fato esse do qual nenhum país se encontrava preparado para tal fenômeno, ficou evidente que o Brasil percorre por dramática crise sanitária, econômica e social. Nesses termos, a metodologia utilizada foi através de pesquisa quantitativa e bibliográfica, sendo as principais fontes, artigos publicados em revistas em meio eletrônico, matéria e textos de plataformas na área de educação, solidificando os argumentos aqui apresentados, com o intuito de investigar, analisar e demonstrar o agravamento da desigualdade na educação, desde o ensino básico ao superior, e ainda, de que forma essa problemática afeta não apenas a vida em particular do indivíduo, como também atinge a sociedade coletivamente. Outrossim, verificar qual o plano de recuperação pós pandemia para resgatar o que se perdeu durante esse período pandêmico. Em conclusão, a falta de acesso à educação de qualidade fortalece o ciclo de desigualdade social, já que indivíduos com pouco ou menos estudo dificilmente conseguem mudar sua condição ao longo da vida, enquanto aqueles que nascem com maior renda podem estudar mais e, por consequência, se tornarem adultos com condições financeiras e sociais melhores.

Authors: Araujo Jantsch Marcela , Dos Reis Jorge Renato 
Published: October 2023

Com o presente trabalho se busca examinar o processo de urbanização no Brasil, com foco no parcelamento do solo urbano sob a perspectiva do direito humano à moradia. A Constituição Federal de 1988, introduziu um novo olhar sobre as relações particulares, alterando o caráter sobre a propriedade urbana, assumindo desta maneira a sua função social. Nesse sentido, se faz imprescindível ressaltar a evolução ao direito de moradia sob o prisma internacional, já que é responsável por conferir o seu status fundamental. Já na seara nacional o direito à moradia, não se trata de apenas ser um direito social, mas, sim, um direito humano e fundamental, a ser efetivado para a construção de uma sociedade justa e solidária. Deste modo, na pesquisa pretende-se analisar qual a relação do parcelamento do solo urbano sob o viés do direito humano à moradia? O método utilizado foi o hipotético-dedutivo, com pesquisa bibliográfica e documental, que darão aporte para a conclusão do trabalho.

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to review the research conducted on biomechanical and pathomechanical variables of the limbs of people with patellofemoral syndrome and also to summarize and present information in a useful framework from past researches.
Methods: The present study was systematic review. Keywords included: mechanics, pathomechanics of the lower limb, kinetics, kinematics, center of pressure and Electromyographic activity of lower limbs, patellofemoral syndrome on the sites of Google Scholar, Science Direct, Web of science, PubMed and Magiranwas searched One hundred nine articles were obtained by using the keywords of the study, and according to the intended purpose and removing duplicate articles, 48 articles were obtained, and according to the desired purpose, in the three parts of the patellofemoral joint, Plantar pressure variables and surrounding patellofemoral muscles were classified and analyzed in terms of mechanics, damage, forces on the joint, electrical activity of muscles and equipment used in the research in the form of tables and text.
Results: Displacement of the center of pressure in people with patellofemoral syndrome during using orthotics with corrective exercises was reduced. The main cause of pain in patellofemoral syndrome was the delay in the activity of vastus medialis and vastus lateralis muscles relative to each other, which caused the abnormal displacement of the patella to the side and as a result increased the pressure on the patellofemoral joint and eventually caused pain. Closed kinetic chain exercises and biofeedback strengthened the mentioned muscles.
Conclusion: Knowledge of the function of patellofemoral joint elements and orthoses and corrective exercises can help the mechanics and pathomechanics of people with patellofemoral syndrome.

Abstract

The use of satellite imagery for monitoring water quality will be very practical as well as efficient in terms of time and cost, and can provide information on a very wide area. the purpose of this study was to identify water quality against the TSS parameter and in the Pasee-Peusangan watershed using Sentinel-2 Imagery. Evaluation was carried out through a qualitative method of a combination of NDTI and NDWI and TSS water quality parameter values. After that, a validation test was carried out using the RMSE, RE and R^2 methods. The TSS value as a water quality parameter in the Pasee-Peusangan Watershed ranges from 0 to 43.908035 (mg/l), areas with low concentrations of TSS predominate with an area of 533.868 Ha or around 98.15%. While the medium and high categories are between 0.2% and 1% respectively, the very high TSS category is 0.1% of the study area. Test Image validation test using the RMSE, RE and \({R}^{2}\)formulas, RMSE shows the suitability and accuracy of field and image data. The water quality in the Pasee-Peusangan Watershed is in the class 1 and class 2 categories, which means it is still relatively good.
