Supportive Periodontal Treatment for the natural dentition and dental implants: a review
Authors: Taher Ali Ali , Jabbar Ali Banaz 
Published: January 2024

Aim: To assess the importance of successful periodontal treatment during long-term supportive periodontal treatment.
The maintenance phase has been named the "cornerstone" of effective periodontal treatment when a patient is transferred from active treatment to a maintenance phase which is considered the final stage in comprehensive patient care, it takes effort and time from the patient, staff, and the dentist.
Surgical and non-surgical techniques are used in periodontal therapy; patients should be put on a schedule of periodic reminder visits for supportive care once periodontal therapy is completed to avoid the recurrence of the disease. PD can recur due to poor mouth oral hygiene, insufficient subgingival removal, the microscopic nature of the dentogingival unit healing after periodontal treatment, and other factors. As a result, effective treatment should be provided to prevent disease recurrence.
Conclusion: The success of periodontal therapy is based on a continuous schedule of periodontal maintenance therapy

Authors: M.O. AL-Ashou Wiaam , A.  Al-Sabawi Nawal , M.  Yahya Maha 
Published: January 2024

Background/ Aims: High bond strength of root perforation repair materials is essential for success of endodontic therapy. The aims of current study were to assist the push-out bond strength of 4 types of root perforation repair materials (Biodentine , Mineral trioxide aggregate, glass ionomer cement, and calcium hydroxide paste) from dentin, and to determine the modes of failure at debonded surfaces.
Materials and Methods: Forty lower premolars with a straight single root canal and matured apex were utilized. Then the teeth decorated 15 mm from the apex, and the middle third of the roots were cut perpendicular to their long axis in order to obtain sections with 1 mm thick. After that instrumentation for the canal of the dentin discs with Gates Glidden was done from sizes 2-5 to result into standardized cavities with 1.3 mm diameter. After that, specimens were divided randomly into 4groups with 10 specimens in every group as follows: group I: Bio (Biodentine), group II: Mineral trioxide aggregate ( MTA), group III: GI (glass ionomer), and group IV: calcium hydroxide paste (Ca(OH)2). Prepared cavity was then filled with each of the material tested according to the corresponding groups. after setting of the tested materials the specimens stored for one week and then push-out bond strength test preformed.
Results: push-out bond strength of Biodentine was significantly higher than other tested materials. Followed by Mineral trioxide aggregate, which exhibited significantly higher bond strength than glass ionomer and MTA materials, while the Ca(OH)2 showed the lowest value of push-out bond strength.
Conclusions: push-out bond strength Biodentine, was significantly greater than MTA, GI, and Ca(OH)2. Therefore, BIO can be used successfully for treatment of root perforation that might occur during endodontic therapy of the root canal.

Published: January 2024

Aim: To evaluate the knowledge and behavior of a group of dentists in Baghdad towards prescribing antibiotics to pediatric patients.
Method: A Cross sectional study was conducted by an electronic self- administered questionnaire to dentists specialized in Preventive or Pediatric Dentistry, general dentists with certificate in Preventive and Pediatric and Preventive Dentistry and to general dentists working in health centers of Al-Resafa in Baghdad. Open-ended and closed-ended questions were directed to the dentists regarding the knowledge and behavior towards prescribing antibiotics to children.
Results: (116) dentists responded to the questionnaire consisted of (36) specialized dentists in Pediatric or Preventive dentistry, (8) general dentists (certificate in Preventive and pediatric Dentistry) and to (72) general dentist. Most of the dentists with an age range from 21 to 30. Females constituted most of the sample (74.1%). General dentists represented the higher proportion (62.1%). Only (38.8%) of the dentists were self-educated whereas the medical websites seemed to be the main source (80.0%). Besides, only (13.8%) of total dentists have attended scientific medical course on antibiotics indications and/or resistance for the last two years. Amoxicillin was the main antibiotic prescribed for non-allergic children (75.9%), whereas Erythromycin and Azithromycin were prescribed for allergic children (73.3%). (42.2 %) of the sample prescribed antibiotics once per-week, while (13.8%) prescribed on need.

Cellulitis contributed (60.3%) among conditions need prescription of antibiotics before and/or after the treatment. Regarding the prophylactic antibiotics, high risk cardiac conditions represented (93.1%).
Conclusion: Most of the general and specialist dentists were aware towards antibiotics prescription for children but lacked in updating their information which based primarily on their previous dental education.
Pasteurellosis in small ruminants and its epidemiology, prevention and control: A brief review
Authors: MN Haque , E Ahmed , MH Rahman 
Published: January 2024

Small ruminant production contributes to the livelihood of small-scale farmers. However, the production is low due to several factors, including pneumonic pasteurellosis. The primary causes of infections are Mannheimia haemolytica, Pasteurella multocida, and Biberstinia trehalosi. It is of great importance at the national level. The disease is commonly transmitted through the air causing sporadic and epidemic pneumonia and septicaemia. Clinical signs include respiratory distress with high fever, coughing, difficulty breathing, and thick purulent nasal discharge. They typically occur in individuals with poor immunity. Weak management practices are often linked to stress. The disease incurs significant losses. The existence of many serotypes without cross-protection and the emergence of drug resistance have made its management more challenging. Furthermore, the causal agents are mostly organisms that reside in the upper respiratory tract but might lead to infection in those with reduced immune systems. Hence, it is crucial to prioritise appropriate selection of antimicrobials, reliable diagnosis, and the inclusion of relevant serotypes in developing vaccines to prevent and manage pneumonic pasteurellosis.

Published: January 2024

A prospective, observational study was conducted in National Institute of Traumatology and Orthopaedic Rehabilitation (NITOR), Dhaka, Bangladesh, between September 2019 and March 2021, to observe the functional outcome of primary repair of long flexors of finger at zone V with early mobilization. Our study included 51 patients, who had follow-up visits up to 12 months after operation. Tendon functionality was assessed by Buck-Gramcko score, while grip strength was assessed by modified sphygmomanometer. The mean age was 30.08±13.38 years. Middle and index fingers were most involved with both flexor digitorum superficialis (FDS) and flexor digitorum profundus (FDP) injury. In this study, most of the patients had excellent or good outcomes. The average return to work time was 32.82 weeks. 9.8% of the patients developed post-operative complications like infections, adhesion, and rupture. Most of the patients obtained good to excellent results (90%), while 3.92% had fair and only 2% had poor outcome. Early motion of the fingers seems to improve outcome in these patients. However, worse outcomes were seen in patients with a greater number of damaged structures, especially in concomitant nerve injury.

Aeromedical Risk of Migraine
Authors: Mainland Roslyn L. , Skinner Chris R. , Saary Joan 
Published: January 2024

INTRODUCTION: Migraine is a common condition that can carry considerable risk to aeromedical duties. Because randomized controlled trials are not an appropriate method to evaluate flight safety risk for medical conditions that may cause subtle or sudden incapacitation, the determination of fitness-to-fly must be based on risk assessments informed by extrapolated evidence. Therefore, we conducted a review of current literature to provide background information to inform the aeromedical risk assessment of migraine using a risk matrix approach.
METHODS: We identified studies on topics pertinent to conducting an aeromedical risk assessment of migraine. We generated an overview of the literature synthesizing the findings of articles retrieved from searches of Scopus, Ovid, PubMed, and the Cochrane Library published in English from all years, in both general and aircrew populations. International headache and neurology guidelines, as well as headache policies from the U.S. Air Force, were also reviewed.
RESULTS: This review includes information on the following topics relevant to conducting an evidence-based risk assessment of migraine: diagnosis, prevalence, incidence, natural course, clinical presentation, triggers, comorbidities, neuroimaging, implications of family history, and efficacy of pharmacological and nonpharmacological therapies.
DISCUSSION: This review summarizes current literature on migraine for use in a risk matrix approach to the aeromedical assessment of migraine in prospective and current aircrew. Awareness of the most current epidemiological data related to a variety of migraine parameters facilitates an evidence-based risk assessment of migraine in aircrew and requires iterative updates as new information becomes available.

Authors: Saied Schabnam , Prokopidis Konstantinos , Adenaya Adeoye , Isanejad Masoud , Sankaranarayanan Rajiv 
Published: January 2024

BackgroundThere is controversy in relation to commonly used drugs in heart failure (HF) and their impact on muscle function. The aim of this study was to evaluate the odds of receiving specific medications often used in clinical practice by patients with HF and sarcopenia vs. without sarcopenia.MethodsA systematic literature search of cohort studies via databases (PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and Cochrane Library) was conducted from inception until March 2023. To determine if sarcopenia is linked to a higher number of specific HF-related medications, a meta-analysis using a random-effects model was used to calculate the pooled effects.ResultsOur main analyses showed no significant association of sarcopenia with administration of higher HF-related medication count vs. those without sarcopenia. Those with lower appendicular lean mass (ALM) had significantly lower odds of receiving angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACE-Is)/angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) (OR: 0.68, 95%CI 0.50–0.90, I2 = 12%, P &lt; 0.01) vs. patients with higher ALM for which age could be an important confounder based on meta-regression. No statistically significant differences were found in relation to B-blockers OR: 0.84, 95%CI 0.63–1.12, I2 = 7%, P = 0.24) and loop diuretics (OR: 1.19, 95%CI 0.87–1.63, I2 = 0%, P = 0.27). Regarding handgrip strength, gait speed, and short physical performance battery, our narrative synthesis found mixed results.ConclusionThis systematic review and meta-analysis did not find a relationship of specific medication count in sarcopenia vs. without sarcopenia in patients with HF, although increased odds of ACE-I/ARB was shown in those with higher ALM.Systematic Review RegistrationPROSPERO (CRD42023411137).

Introduction: The Panyu low uplift is located in the middle of the Central Uplift Belt of the Pearl River Mouth Basin, which has experienced multiple episodes of tectonic movements since the Cenozoic, and the faults are extensively developed there. The fault activities had a significant influence on the migration and accumulation of oil and gas, as well as the sedimentation.Methods: In order to recognize the effect of the faults on the tectono-straigraphy evolution in the Panyu low uplift, based on the high-resolution seismic and latest drilling well data, the study has comprehensively analyzed the geometry and kinematics of these faults, as well as the sedimentary filling evolution of the residual depressions.Results: The results show that two major fault systems has developed in the Panyu low uplift: the deep and shallow fault systems. The former was dominated by a series of NEE and NW-trending high-angle listric/plane faults, along with several low-angle detachment normal faults, which were under the joint control of the NW-SE and NS-trending extensional stress during the Eocene. The latter was dominated by NW-NWW trending strike-slip normal faults with tension-shear properties under the NEE trending dextral strike-slip stress field in the late Miocene. The uplift had undergone five tectonic evolution stages: the initial rifting stage (Tg-T83), the intensive rifting stage (T83-T80), the rifting and depression transitional stage (T80-T70), the thermal subsidence depression stage (T70-T35), and the tectonic reactivation stage (T35-T10).Discussion: Based on the 3D seismic phase interpretation and drilling sample analyses, the study also indicates that during the initial rifting stage, the Panyu low uplift manifested as multistage depositional center. The sedimentary strata were distributed in the downthrown wall of the depression-controlling faults, exhibiting multiple subsidence and sedimentary centers, and the depressions was supplied by multi-provenance systems. During the intense rifting period, the depression widened, the lacustrine basins were connected with each other, and the sedimentary center migrated. During the rifting and depression transitional stage, the faults controlling on deposition weakened. The thick Enping formation from the northwest provenance direction is unconformably overlaid on the Panyu low uplift. Meanwhile, the depressions was characterized by the sedimentary deposits of lacustrine basin. Various types of sedimentary facies were developed, including the delta, semi-deep lacustrine, shallow lacustrine, and shore-shallow lacustrine deposits, and the mudstone of the semi-deep lacustrine facies could serve as a high-quality source rock for the hydrocarbon production.

Published: January 2024

BackgroundIrisin is an adipomyokine secreted by muscle and adipose cells, and it plays a role in glucose, fat, and bone metabolism. This study aimed to determine the correlation of serum irisin levels with anthropometric, metabolic, and bone parameters in obese children and adolescents.MethodsThis single-center study included 103 Korean children and adolescents: 54 (52.4%) obese participants with a body mass index (BMI) ≥95th percentile and 49 (47.6%) healthy controls with BMI within the 15th to 85th percentile. Various parameters were measured, including fasting blood glucose, fasting insulin, homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), triglyceride and glucose (TyG) index, lipid profile, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), osteocalcin, and 25(OH)-Vitamin D levels. Bone mineral density (BMD) was measured using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) in 33 healthy subjects.ResultsSerum irisin was significantly higher in the obese group than in the control group (mean 18.1 ± 3.5 vs. 16.2 ± 2.0 ng/mL; p = 0.001). Serum irisin level was positively correlated with chronological age (r = 0.28; p = 0.004), height SDS (r = 0.24; p = 0.02), BMI SDS (r = 0.37; p &lt; 0. 001), fasting glucose (r = 0.27; p = 0.007), fasting insulin (r = 0.23; p = 0.03), HOMA-IR (r = 0.21; p = 0.04), osteocalcin (r = 0.27; p = 0.006) and negatively correlated with HDL cholesterol (r = -0.29; p = 0.005). All these correlations were evident in obese subjects but not in healthy subjects. ALP and 25(OH)-Vitamin D were unrelated to irisin levels. Among 33 healthy subjects, total body-less head (TBLH) BMD Z-score was positively correlated with serum irisin (r = 0.39; p = 0.03), osteocalcin (r = 0.40; p = 0.02), fasting insulin (r = 0.39; p = 0.04), and HOMA-IR (r = 0.38; p = 0.047).ConclusionThis study demonstrated an association between irisin levels and glucose, lipid, and bone parameters in children and adolescents. Our findings suggest that irisin has a potential role in metabolic disorders and bone health in obese children and adolescents.

Published: January 2024

In order to explore the feasibility of a renewable hybrid energy system in highway tunnels, a scenario-coupled construction method for a highway tunnel renewable hybrid energy system is proposed. Based on this method, a tunnel on a highway in southern China serves as an example, and a renewable hybrid energy system for the highway tunnel is constructed. Using HOMER, the hybrid energy system is simulated, optimized, and analyzed, studying the characteristics of the operation of the highway tunnel hybrid renewable energy system in an off-grid mode. The optimal configuration for the hybrid energy system is proposed. The research results indicate the feasibility of constructing a highway tunnel renewable hybrid energy system by utilizing natural resources within the road area (solar energy, wind energy). The hybrid renewable energy system for this tunnel can provide 1112392 kWh of electrical energy annually, with the lowest energy cost being $0.17/kW. Furthermore, the hybrid energy system can reduce greenhouse gas emissions, contributing to the sustainable development of the environment.
