Authors: Rasteh Bita , Basir Leila , Taravati Shirin , Khataminia Masoumeh 
Published: December 2023

Aim:
In recent years, many studies have been conducted on different materials for covering the pulp in pulpotomy. Recently, some materials such as Coldceram have been introduced that have the ability to regenerate the pulp. In this study, our aim was to compare the clinical and radiographic success of the pulpotomy of milk molars using MTA and Coldceram over 3-, 6-, and 9-month follow-ups.

Methods:
In this clinical trial, 42 children aged 4-9 years old who fulfilled the inclusion criteria of the study were selected. Finally, pulpotomy was conducted on 42 teeth using MTA and another 42 teeth using Coldceram in these children. Simultaneously, all teeth were permanently repaired using glass ionomer and metal veneers in the same treatment session. Then, clinical and radiographic evaluation was conducted in 3-, 6-, and 9-month follow-up periods.

Results:
None of the teeth showed clinical symptoms at the specified 3-, 6-, and 9-month follow-up times, and clinical success was 100% in both groups. In radiographic evaluation, the numbers of successful treatments were 42/42 (100%) and 41/42 (97%) for the teeth treated with MTA and Coldceram, respectively.

Conclusion:
According to this research, both materials were proven to have a 100% clinical success rate, but in the radiographic evaluation, MTA attained a higher success rate compared with Coldceram; however, this difference was not statistically significant (P = 0.36). It is recommended to consider longer follow-ups and larger sample sizes in future studies.

Authors: Agarwal Sakshi , Ranjan Mamta , Sachan Shikha , Kumar Lalit 
Published: December 2023

Introduction and Aim:
Antepartum hemorrhage (APH) is one of the deadliest complications in obstetrics. It can complicate about 2–5% of pregnancies. It contributes significantly to maternal and perinatal mortality and morbidity during pregnancy and childbearing worldwide. The aim of this study was to determine maternal and fetal outcomes in patients presenting with APH.

Materials and Methods:
This was a retrospective study. Pregnant women with >28 weeks gestation reporting to the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology from May 2021 to April 2022 were included in the study. Ethical approval from the institutional ethical committee was taken.

Result:
This study included 76 patients of APH. Most patients in the analysis were found to be second gravida (30%). Anemia was the most common associated morbidity (51.31%). 58% of these patients were of placenta previa, 14% were of abruption, and 10% were of accreta. Among all patients, 94.74% recovered well. 2.63% of cases could not be saved and resulted in maternal mortality. The proportions of babies alive, intra-uterine death (IUD), and intubated were 86.84%, 11.84%, and 1.32%, respectively. 17.1% of patients required a lifesaving cesarean hysterectomy.

Conclusion:
APH is an obstetrical emergency that requires timely diagnosis and early intervention. Swift management is required to improve maternal and fetal outcomes.

Authors: Hazra Druti , Siddalingaiah Nayana , Gupta Nitin , Chawla Kiran , Prabhu A Ravindra , Datta Divya , Khader Nisha , Swaminathan Shilna Muttickal 
Published: December 2023

Context:
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and tuberculosis (TB), are presently the major infectious diseases imposing a consequential public health threat and their coinfection has a significant impact on the outcome.

Aims:
To evaluate the clinical features and outcomes of COVID-19-TB coinfected cases compared to solely COVID-19-infected cases.

Settings and Design:
A retrospective observational study was conducted between August 1, 2020, to February 28, 2022, at a tertiary care hospital.

Materials and Methods:
In this case-control study, an equal number of gender-age-matched COVID-19 and TB coinfected patients and COVID-19 cases without TB were included using simple random sampling.

Statistical Analysis Used:
The data was analyzed using SPSS v 26. Categorical variables were compared using the Chi-square test, and an independent t-test or Mann-Whitney U test was applied for the quantitative variables in the univariate analysis. A P-value of less than 0.05 was considered significant.

Results:
A total of 27 patients were included in each group. Upper lobe involvement (44%) and pleural effusion (22%) were significantly more common in TB-COVID-19 cases when compared to the control group (7% and 4%, respectively; P < 0.05). Moreover, median levels of C-reactive protein and ferritin were significantly higher in TB-COVID-19 coinfection.

Conclusions:
Chest radiology and a higher level of certain biomarkers like C-reactive protein and ferritin can help to suspect TB in COVID-19 patients and vice-versa.
A comparative study on perception and use of generic drugs between public and private health practitioners
Authors: Priyadarsini R. , Maheswari Y. Nisha , Prabha M. Lakshmi , Ramya J. Ezhil 
Published: December 2023

Context:
The perception of generic drugs may vary significantly between government and private doctors because physicians in the private sector have more prescribing choices and flexibility. Hence, this study was undertaken to analyse the knowledge, attitude and perception (KAP) of government and private physicians on generic drugs.

Materials and Methods:
This was a questionnaire-based cross-sectional study conducted among physicians working in public and private health sectors. The questionnaire had 25 closed-ended questions related to the KAP of generic medicine. The overall scores were categorised using Bloom's cut-off point. The Chi-square or Mann–Whitney U-test was used to compare the differences between the two groups.

Results:
About 80% of the participants in both groups agreed that generic medicines contain the same active ingredients as brand-name drugs, are less expensive and are available in the Indian market. Nearly 84% of government physicians and only 64% of private physicians believed that generic medicines are just as effective and secure as branded medicines (P - 0.003). The majority of physicians from both groups concurred that there is a lack of quality check in generic drug manufacturing, and they require more information about bioequivalence studies. In both categories, about 75% of participants preferred generic medications for their patients. However, in both groups, more than 50% of physicians were concerned about therapeutic failure and expressed reluctance to prescribe generic medications in life-threatening situations.

Conclusions:
Knowledge and acceptance of generic drugs regarding efficacy, safety, bioequivalence and therapeutic failure are low among both government and private physicians.

Authors: Ahuja Vanita , Mahajan Aastika , Thapa Deepak , Mitra Sukanya , Gupta Deepika , Gupta Sanjay , Sharma Rajeev , Singh Simrandeep 
Published: December 2023

Abstract

Background and Aims:
Moderate-to-severe intensity pain is reported on the first day following lower abdominal surgery. No study has compared transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block with retrolaminar block (RLB) in laparoscopic inguinal hernia surgery for postoperative pain relief.

Material and Methods:
In this prospective, randomized trial, 42 male patients of American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status I and II, aged 18–65 years, and having a BMI <40 kg/m2 received TAP or RLB following laparoscopic inguinal hernia surgery. A standard general anesthetic technique was performed. Patients were randomized into two groups: single-shot TAP block (group I) (n = 21) or the RLB (group II) (n = 21) with bilateral 20 ml of 0.375% ropivacaine. Postoperatively, IV paracetamol 1 g was administered as rescue analgesia. Postoperative cumulative Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score 24 hours after surgery was considered as the primary outcome.

Results:
Postoperative cumulative VAS score at rest at 24 h, represented as mean ± S.D (95% CI), in the TAP block group was 3.54 ± 3.04 (2.16–4.93) and in the RLB group was 6.09 ± 4.83 (3.89–8.29). P value was 0.112 and VAS on movement was 7.95 ± 3.41 (6.39–9.50 [2.5–15.0]) in TAP block group, whereas P value was 0.110 and VAS on movement was 10.83 ± 5.51 (8.32–13.34) in the RLB group.

Conclusion:
Similar postoperative cumulative pain score on movement at 24 h was present in patients receiving TAP block or RLB. However, VAS score at rest and on movement was reduced in patients receiving TAP block at 18 and 24 h postoperatively.

Authors: Pérez Sara Margarita Pérez , Martínez Camilo Eduardo , Moreno Paula , Quintero Laura , Escobar Gabriela , Cruz Jacobo , Hernández Juliana 
Published: December 2023

Abstract

Introduction:
Ocular trauma is an important and preventable cause of decreased vision or blindness. There are just a few studies in Colombia describing the prevalence of ocular trauma in the country. The characterization of these events may lead to the development of preventive strategies, effective treatment, and efficient allocation of economic resources.

Methods:
Descriptive, retrospective, cross-sectional observational study.

Results:
Data from 1.373 patients who were evaluated by an ophthalmologist at the Hospital Universitario San Ignacio in Bogotá, Colombia, were collected. Most of the patients were men with a mean age of 36 years. The most prevalent context of trauma was domestic injuries; and the most frequent mechanism was blunt trauma with a classification of 5 on the ocular trauma score.

Discussion:
The collected data showed similar results compared to the literature. The prevalence of ocular trauma is higher in men in all the scenarios. On the other hand, it is of extreme concern the lack of consciousness as to why use of ocular protection is key.

Authors: Bartoníčková Daniela , Kohanová Dominika , Žiaková Katarína 
Published: December 2023

Východiská: Téma bezpečnosti pacientov nie je v mnohých krajinách v rámci pregraduálneho vzdelávania sestier explicitne špecifikovaná. Cieľ: Identifikovať vzdelávacie rámce v dostupnej relevantnej literatúre a sumarizovať vzdelávacie oblasti týkajúce sa bezpečnosti pacientov u študentov ošetrovateľstva. Metódy: Integratívny prehľad literatúry. Vyhľadávanie bolo realizované v troch vedeckých databázach a to PubMed, Scopus a ProQuest v novembri 2022. Celkovo bolo vyhľadaných 410 záznamov. Proces triedenia bol reflektovaný prostredníctvom PRISMA diagramu. Výsledkom vyhľadávania bolo šesť odborných článkov, z ktorých boli extrahované vzdelávacie oblasti a následne bola realizovaná tematická sumarizácia. Výsledky: Identifikované vzdelávacie rámce pre ošetrovateľstvo boli rozdelené na všeobecné a špecifické. Spoločným znakom všetkých rámcov sú vzdelávacie oblasti súvisiace s poskytovaním bezpečnej starostlivosti. Na základe ich integrácie do kurikúl by sa študenti ošetrovateľstva mali vzdelávať v týchto oblastiach: bezpečnosť; kultúra bezpečnosti pacienta; tímová práca; komunikácia; prax založená na dôkazoch; starostlivosť zameraná na pacienta; nežiaduce udalosti; ľudské a systémové faktory; informovanosť; kvalita starostlivosti; špecifické problémy a iné. Záver: Realizovaný integratívny prehľad môže byť užitočný pre začlenenie identifikovaných vzdelávacích oblastí do pregraduálneho štúdia ošetrovateľstva. Prvou etapou by však mala byť dôkladná analýza učebných plánov jednotlivých študijných programov.

Published: December 2023

На территории Республики Северная Осетия-Алания в 2019 и 2021 годах проведено расширение сети сейсмических наблюдений Северо-Осетинского филиала ФИЦ ЕГС РАН за счет открытия двух цифровых сейсмических станций в селе Майрама- даг и поселке Попов Хутор, для повышения чувствительности сети в области Владикав- казской зоны возникновения очагов землетрясений (ВОЗ). В работе приведены сведения о выборе мест размещения новых пунктов наблюдений, технические характеристики установленной аппаратуры, проведена оценка спектральных мощностей шума в срав- нении со среднемировыми кривыми шума Петерсона, построены модели скоростных раз- резов методом спектрального анализа поверхностных волн для площадок размещения станций. На примере слабого землетрясения показано, что благодаря новым станциям стало возможным регистрировать сейсмические события в районе Владикавказской зоны ВОЗ, которые при прежней конфигурации сети остались бы незамеченными.
On the territory of the Republic of North Ossetia-Alania (RNO-Alania) in 2019 and 2021, the seismic observation network of the North Ossetian branch of the Federal Research Center EGS RAS was expanded by opening two digital seismic stations in the village of Mayramadag and the village of Popov Khutor, to increase the sensitivity of the network in the region Vladikavkaz earthquake zone (EZ). This article provides information about location determination for new observation points and technical characteristics of the installed equipment, an estimation of the spectral noises power of every new station in comparison with the model of seismic background noise (Peterson, 1993). Also has been built the velocity profiles for every of new station sites, using the method of spectral analysis of surface waves (SASW). Using the example of a weak earthquake, it is shown that with help of the new stations it is became possible to record seismic events in the Vladikavkaz EZ, which would have gone unnoticed with the previous network configuration.
