Supernumerary nines: Rare after all? an overview and case series
Authors: O'Grady Eleanor , Mills Sophie , Phillips Veronica , Aristotelous Costantinos , Santhanam Vijay 
Published: December 2023

Supernumerary molars are rarely reported in literature. A literature review was undertaken to identify the prevalence of supernumerary nines following multiple cases attending at local oral and maxillofacial clinics. The review found a prevalence range of 0.06–0.96% for supernumerary molars, with proliferation of epithelial remnants of dental lamina (induced by pressure or ‘induction factors’) being the most accepted aetiology. This article explores supernumerary molars and their associated comorbidities, such as disruption and damage to other teeth. The case studies illustrate management techniques. CPD/Clinical Relevance: An awareness of supernumerary teeth and their management is of clinical benefit.

Published: December 2023

Background: Palliative care is defined as active and global care that provides holistic care integrating the body, mind and spirit of the dying person. A person's health deteriorates at the end of life and nurses facilitate patients to manage their personal body care. Knowing and considering the impact of disease on individuals' lives, how they adapt to cope with it, and the meaning they give to it, can help nurses. This is because of the embodiment concept of living in and through our bodies. The aim of the study is to explore palliative care patients' experiences with nurses during body care. Methods: A descriptive phenomenological approach based on Husserl's philosophical perspective was used. A purposive sample of eight palliative care patients were enrolled in the study. Semi-structured interviews were conducted between November 2018 and January 2019, in an Italian hospice. The interviews were about patients' feelings during nursing body care. The transcripts were analysed using Giorgi's phenomenological method. Several strategies were used to ensure the study's reliability. Results: The qualitative analysis revealed six categories that converged in three themes: 1) body care requires a specific competence; 2) patients experience difficulties during care by nurses; 3) compassionate care relationships help patients to find wellbeing and balance. Conclusions: People at the end of life find the deterioration of their body distressing and a reminder that they are about to die. These considerations give us an understanding of patient embodiment and the significance of a patient's lived experiences at the end of their life. This phenomenon in nursing should be explored further in future research, to help inform more targeted care strategies.

Published: December 2023

Objective: The antimicrobial effects of a borate-based bioactive glass matrix (BBBGM) on clinically relevant microorganisms was investigated for up to seven days in vitro. Method: A total of 19 wound-relevant pathogens were studied using the in vitro AATCC 100 test method. Results: The reduction of viable Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria and yeasts at days 4 and 7 post-culture on the BBBGM was significant (> 4log10) in most cases. Mould counts were reduced (<2log10) during the seven-day assessment, indicating that mould viability and reproduction was inhibited. The cell count of each organism was reduced at seven days indicating that the BBBGM not only reduced the viable cell count, but that the cell count did not recover during the seven-day period, indicating a sustained reduction in pathogenic activity. Conclusion: Based on the present results, the use of a BBBGM as a pathogenic barrier should be considered as a tool for combating pathogenic colonisation and infection in acute and hard-to-heal (chronic) wounds.

Authors: Su Ya-Na , Li Jing , Feng Dai-Hao , Lu Ruo-Ruo , Dong Guo-Xi , Zhao Ding-Yun 
Published: December 2023

Objective: To investigate the efficacy and safety of autologous platelet-rich plasma (au-PRP) for diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) treatment. Method: We conducted database searches (MEDLINE, EMBASE, evidence-based medicine reviews: CENTRAL, PubMed, and Web of Science) and reference mining for randomised controlled trials from inception to 23 January 2022. Results were scrutinised, data were extracted and research quality was investigated by two independent authors. Primary outcome was the proportion of complete ulcer healing. Secondary outcomes included both the mean time to complete healing and the incidence of adverse events. Statistical analyses were performed in RevMan 5.4 (Cochrane, UK). Kaplan–Meier curves for time to complete healing were pooled in R software (version 4.1.2) (R Foundation, Austria). Results: Of the 231 records identified, 17 studies with a total of 1303 participants (649 randomised to the au-PRP group and 654 to a standard of care (SOC) group) met the eligibility criteria and were included in our study. Compared with SOC, au-PRP appeared to promote the complete healing rate (odds ratio (OR): 2.11; 95% Confidence Interval: 1.55–2.86). Au-PRP also appeared to significantly shorten complete healing time (mean duration: –19.04 days; 95%CI: –20.46––17.61]). There was no significant difference on adverse events. Results were robust on sensitivity analyses. Conclusion: Based on the findings of this review and meta-analysis, Au-PRP is an effective and safe adjuvant therapy for DFUs.

Published: December 2023

Background
In Uganda, approximately 170,000 confirmed COVID-19 cases and 3,630 deaths have been reported as of January 2023. At the start of the second COVID-19 wave, the Ugandan health system was overwhelmed with a sudden increase in the number of COVID-19 patients who needed care, and the Ministry of Health resorted to home-based isolation and care for patients with mild to moderate disease. Before its rollout, the COVID-19 home-based care strategy had neither been piloted nor tested in Uganda.

Objective
To explore the experiences of COVID-19 patients managed at home in Uganda.

Methods
This was a qualitative study that was conducted to explore the lived experiences of COVID-19 patients managed at home. The study was carried out among patients who presented to three hospitals that were designated for treating COVID-19 patients in Uganda. COVID-19 patients diagnosed at these hospitals and managed at home were followed up and contacted for in-depth telephone interviews. The data were analysed using thematic content analysis with the aid of NVIVO 12.0.0 (QRS International, Cambridge, MA).

Results
Participants experienced feelings of fear and anxiety: fear of death, fear of losing jobs, fear of infecting loved ones and fear of adverse events such as loss of libido. Participants also reported feelings of loneliness, hopelessness and depression on top of the debilitating and sometimes worsening symptoms. In addition to conventional medicines, participants took various kinds of home remedies and herbal concoctions to alleviate their symptoms. Furthermore, COVID-19 care resulted in a high economic burden, which persisted after the COVID-19 illness. Stigma was a major theme reported by participants. Participants recommended that COVID-19 care should include counselling before testing and during and after the illness to combat the fear and stigma associated with the diagnosis. Another recommendation was that health workers should carry out home visits to patients undergoing home-based care and that COVID-19 treatment should be free of charge.

Conclusion
COVID-19 home-based care was associated with fear, anxiety, loneliness, depression, economic loss and stigma. Policymakers should consider various home-based follow-up strategies and strengthen counselling of COVID-19 patients at all stages of care.

Authors: Tiruneh Misganaw Guadie , Fenta Eneyew Talie , Anagaw Tadele Fentabil , Bogale Eyob Ketema , Delie Amare Mebrat 
Published: December 2023

Background
The poor practice of tuberculosis infection control may increase the risk of transmission of tuberculosis in healthcare settings. Thus, this study aimed to determine the pooled magnitude of good tuberculosis infection control practice and associated factors among healthcare workers in Ethiopia.

Methods
The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) checklist guideline was followed for this review and meta-analysis. The electronic databases (Pub Med, Cochrane Library, Google scholar and grey literatures) were searched to retrieve articles by using keywords. The Joanna Briggs Institute Meta-Analysis of Statistics Assessment and Review Instrument was used to assess the quality of studies. Heterogeneity was assessed using the I2 statistic. The meta-analysis with a 95% confidence interval using STATA 17 software was computed to present the pooled practice and odds ratio of the determinant factors. Publication bias was assessed visually by inspecting the funnel plot asymmetry and using statistical tests using the eggers and begs test.

Results
Seven studies were included in this meta-analysis, with a total of 3256 health workers. The overall pooled magnitude of good tuberculosis infection control practice was 46.44% (95% CI: 34.21%, 58.67%). In subgroup analysis, the highest practice was in Addis Ababa 51.40% (95% CI: 47.40, 55.40%) and the lowest prevalence of tuberculosis infection control practice was in Amhara region 40.24% (95% CI: 15.46, 65.02%). Working in TB clinics (AOR; 7.42, 95% CI: 3.89, 14.13) and good TB related knowledge (AOR; 4.40, 95% CI: 1.76, 10.97) were the significant predictors of good TB infection control practice.

Conclusions
Only less than half of the health care workers had good practice of TB infection control. Working in TB clinics and having good TB related knowledge were statistically significant predictors of TB infection control practice. Periodic shifting of health care workers to work in TB clinics and an emphasis on TB infection control related skill based training was recommended to increase the TB infection control practice.

Authors: Taghiakbari Mahsa , Djinbachian Roupen , Haumesser Claire , Sidani Sacha , Chen Kiow Jeremy Liu , Panzini Benoit , von Renteln Daniel 
Published: December 2023

INTRODUCTION:
This study aimed to compare the accuracy of polyp size measurements using a virtual scale endoscope (VSE) with an integrated laser-based adaptive scale function and visual assessment (VA) during colonoscopies.

METHODS:
We conducted a single-blinded, prospective randomized controlled trial. Eligible patients (aged 45–80 years) undergoing screening, surveillance, or diagnostic colonoscopies were randomly assigned (1:1) into 2 groups. In the intervention group, all detected polyps were measured for size using VSE; in the control group, all polyps were measured using VA. Size measurements were compared with a reference standard of digital caliper measurement immediately post polypectomy. The primary outcome was the relative accuracy of real-time VSE measurement compared with VA. Secondary outcomes included the mean differences and the correlations between VSE or VA sizes and the reference standard of measurement.

RESULTS:
Overall, 230 patients were enrolled and randomized. The relative size measurement accuracy of VSE was 84% in 118 polyps, which was significantly higher than that of VA (105 polyps; 68.4%, P < 0.001). VSE resulted in a significantly higher percentage of size measurements within 25% of true size compared with VA (81.4% vs 41%, P < 0.001). VSE had a significantly lower percentage for >5-mm polyps incorrectly sized as 1–5 mm compared with VA (13.5% vs 57.1%; P < 0.001) and a significantly lower percentage for >3-mm polyps incorrectly sized as 1–3 mm compared with VA (11.3% vs 56.5%; P < 0.001).

DISCUSSION:
VSE significantly improves the size measurement accuracy of colorectal polyps during colonoscopies compared with VA and results in fewer misclassifications at relevant decision-making size thresholds.
Эмоционально нагруженное потребление в современной России. Часть первая: теоретические основы
Authors: Радаев Вадим Валерьевич 
Published: December 2023

В статье введено общее понятие эмоционально нагруженного потребления, в котором эмоциональные побуждения играют доминирующую роль, подталкивая к совершению излишних покупок по отношению к текущим потребностям или/и своим финансовым возможностям. Проведен сравнительный анализ трех видов такого потребления – панического, импульсивного и компульсивного. Паническое потребление, или ажиотажный спрос, определяется как спонтанное приобретение излишнего количества товаров для образования запасов в условиях фактического или ожидаемого дефицита или подорожания. К импульсивному потреблению отнесено незапланированное приобретение товаров и услуг по мгновенному порыву, без особых раздумий о последствиях. А под компульсивным потреблением (шопоголизмом) понимается повторяющееся, слабо контролируемое стремление к приобретению товаров и услуг, нацеленное на то, чтобы справиться с негативными эмоциональными состояниями. На основе обобщения результатов предшествующих специальных исследований показано, что все три вида эмоционально нагруженного потребления, при множественных различиях между ними, сочетают в себе эмоциональные, когнитивные и социальные элементы. Они также по-разному отклоняются от привычной схемы рационального поведения, понимаемого как устойчивое следование своему экономическому интересу. Во второй эмпирической части этой работы автор проанализирует основные факторы возникновения и некоторые финансовые следствия эмоционально нагруженных форм потребления на новых количественных данных, полученных летом 2023 г. на основе репрезентативного опроса российского населения.

Towards Implantable Brain-Computer Interface for Communication in Locked-In Syndrome patients

Published: December 2023

Abstract
Locked-in Syndrome (LIS) severely restricts the communication abilities of individuals due to extensive paralysis. The Intracranial Neuro Telemetry to Restore communication (INTRECOM) project aims to aid patients in overcoming these limitations by developing a fully implantable brain computer interface (BCI) system based on state-of-the-art technology holding great promise in revolutionizing the lives of LIS patients. In this project, the Graz BCI group, with its expertise in understanding brain dynamics associated with movement, focuses on the algorithmic development of advanced decoders that enable the user to execute specific commands by simply attempting corresponding movements. Our preliminary findings using electrocorticography (ECoG) data obtained from one individual with LIS that underwent implantation of a BCI communication system demonstrate the applicability of a ‘brain switch’ function that detects brain signals associated with attempted movements. This switch can then be used to translate the intention of the user into a click/select function on a screen.

Abstract
In this study, we employed calcium imaging to investigate the dynamics of intracellular calcium levels in embryonic chicken cardiomyocytes upon extracellular, optoelectronic stimulation. A photovoltaic layer of donoracceptor pigments on a flexible PET substrate was used as a wireless stimulation electrode. Our findings revealed a distinct change in their spontaneous activity pattern in cardiac cells following asynchronous light stimulation. A short pause in cellular activity, indicative of overdrive suppression, was observed in recordings from several different cells. The pause in activity signifies a transient refractory period induced by stimulation of the photovoltaic device with red light. These findings suggest that photovoltaic electrodes can be used to effectively modulate the electrical activity of cardiac cells in a wireless, non-pharmacological manner. This opens new avenues for non-invasive and precise light-modulated control of cellular electrophysiology as well as potential therapeutic applications for cardiac rhythm disorders.

Published: December 2023

Abstract
Tests, assessments, and evaluation instruments have long been ill-equipped to account for practices of translanguaging inherent within multilingual communities. Within the field of testing and assessment, much more emphasis has been placed on ensuring the design principles of the assessment. Countering over 100 years of deficit positioning of multilingualism in testing, recent work has emerged that values the knowledge, beliefs, and experiences of teachers. Drawing on Hornberger’s (2005) distinction between ideological and implementational spaces, this participatory action research project examines translanguaging and assessment practices during a 5-week online course for classroom language testing for four Spanish/English bilingual teachers working in dual language bilingual education programs in elementary schools in the United States. Transcripts from online synchronous (via Zoom) and asynchronous discussions and individual and paired assignments served as our key data sources. We illustrate the co-learning, co-planning, and co-shifting of translanguaging and assessment practices during this course. We argue that collaboration such as the work presented in this paper is critical for creating communities to open and expand ideological and implementational spaces for translanguaging in general and in testing specifically.

Hereditary hypomagnesemia with secondary hypocalcemia caused by a novel mutation in TRPM6 gene
Authors: Dokurel Çetin İpek , Betül Gerik-Çelebi Hamide , Demiral Meliha , Çetin Orkun 
Published: December 2023

Abstract

Objectives
Hereditary hypomagnesemia with secondary hypocalcemia (HSH), which results from variations in the transient receptor potential melastatin 6 (TRPM6) genes, is a rare hereditary cause of extremely low serum magnesium levels. We describe an infant with triggered seizures due to hypomagnesemia and a novel mutation in TRPM6 gene was identified.

Case presentation
A 10-month-old boy presented with multidrug resistant seizures, and axial hypotonia due to severe hypomagnesemia. Electroencephalography and neuroimaging of the patient was normal. He had a favorable outcome with magnesium supplement. In this study, the patient underwent clinical exome sequencing (CES) which detected a novel homozygous variant in the TRPM6 gene: NM_017662.5: c.5571-3C>G. After replacing his magnesium orally, he was free from seizures and had an encouraging outcome at the twelfth-month follow-up.

Conclusions
HSH often presents with developmental issues, treatment-resistant seizures, and increased neuromuscular excitability. Untreated hypomagnesemia can potentially be fatal and severely impair cognitive function. Clinical suspicion is essential for early diagnosis and treatment.
Detection of extremist messages in web resources in the Kazakh language

Published: December 2023

Abstract
Currently, the Internet information and communication network has become an integral part of human life. People use social networks such as Twitter, VKontakte, Facebook, etc., to establish global contacts, exchange opinions, gain knowledge, etc. The active participation of not only individual users, but also information organizations in the entire world space makes it necessary to develop measures that correspond to modern trends in the development of information and communication technologies to ensure national security, in particular, the organization of events related to countering the strengthening of ideas of extremism and terrorism.
Countering the spread of aggressive information on the global network is an urgent problem of society and government agencies, this task is solved by filtering unwanted Internet resources. However, terrorist and extremist groups rationally use web technologies to perform various functions, including information dissemination, propaganda, fundraising and extremist missions. In such a situation, the Internet poses a threat to national security.
In this paper, we investigate the issue of creating semantic analysis models to identify extremist messages in the Kazakh language. For the study, a proprietary text corpus was assembled and models based on bigrams and word input methods were proposed. According to the results of experiments, the proposed model shows the highest indicators for evaluating machine learning methods.
