Authors: Kumar P. C. Pradeep , Manohar J. Shivananda , Janardhan Anu , Raman Rajesh 
Published: January 2025

Abstract

Background:
β-Thalassemia, a major blood disease in children, has been found to have significant mental health implications. This study aims to assess differences in psychiatric comorbidities, coping strategies, and nonverbal intelligence/cognitive abilities among male and female children with blood transfusion-dependent thalassemia (β-thalassemia).

Materials and Methods:
This cross-sectional study involved 45 children diagnosed with β-thalassemia who regularly visit the hospital for blood transfusion. These children were recruited through purposive sampling. A socio-demographic data sheet, Revised Child Anxiety and Depression Scale, Children Coping Strategies Checklist Revision 1, and Raven’s Colored Progressive Matrices (R-CPM) were used to measure anxiety, depression, other comorbidities, coping, and nonverbal/cognitive abilities in children.

Results:
The sample included 26 males (mean age: 9.23 ± 1.39) and 19 females (mean age: 9.58 ± 1.50). Females exhibited higher mean scores in separation anxiety (Mean = 13.68 ± 4.79) and generalized anxiety (Mean = 8.26 ± 3.58), panic (Mean = 8.26 ± 3.58), and obsessive–compulsive disorder (Mean = 5.84 ± 6.17), while males scored higher in social phobia (Mean = 10 ± 3.42). Female children more frequently used problem-focused, support-seeking, and avoidant coping strategies. Both genders demonstrated high nonverbal intelligence, with most children scoring between 75 and 95 on the R-CPM.

Conclusion:
This study shows that psychiatric comorbidities in male and female children with β-thalassemia are almost similar. However, their nonverbal/cognitive are not affected.

Authors: Mahesh Shweta , Shah Naisargi , Badwaik Praveen , Bhatnagar Vishrut , Prabhu Adhithi , Gharat Nikita 
Published: January 2025

Abstract

Introduction:
Statement of problem osseodensification (OD) is a nonextraction osteotomy technique primarily used in low-density bone to enhance implant stability. Despite the claimed advantages of OD, there is a lack of evidence in the literature with respect to its efficacy in improving peri-implant bone quantity, density, and subsequently, secondary implant stability.

Materials and Methods:
Electronic (PubMed, Cochrane, EBSCOhost, and Google Scholar) and manual searches were conducted for articles published from January 1, 2010, to November 31, 2024 to identify relevant studies evaluating the effect of osseodfensification on peri-implant bone mineral density (BMD).

Results:
A total of 1264 articles were identified through electronic and manual searches. After screening the titles, abstracts, and full texts, three studies were selected for inclusion. These studies focused on the parameter of BMD in the apical region, which was measured in Hounsfield units using cone-beam computed tomography analysis.

Conclusions:
OD resulted in increased peri-implant bone density. OD could be a potential alternative for implant bed preparation in poor bone density cases.
Giant Cell Fibroma of the Buccal Mucosa: A Rare Case Report
Authors: Koregol Arati C. , Hosur Mahadevi , Sultana Uzma Parveen , Hugar Shruti 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Giant cell fibroma (GCF) accounts for 2%–5% of all fibrous proliferations in the oral cavity. Due to its clinical similarity to other lesions, such as fibroma and papilloma, accurate diagnosis can be challenging. It most commonly occurs in the third decade of life, with the gingiva being the most frequent site of occurrence. This article presents a rare case of GCF with an unusual site of occurrence in a 24-year-old male. The definitive diagnosis was confirmed through histopathological examination. The article emphasizes the importance of recognizing atypical presentations of GCF to ensure accurate diagnosis and appropriate management, with histopathological examination being pivotal for confirmation.

Authors: Khurdal Ankita , Mani Shubhangi , Toshniwal N. G. , Navgire Nikita , Mishra Sumeet 
Published: January 2025

Abstract

Introduction:
Functional appliances redirect mandibular growth to correct skeletal discrepancies, especially in Class II malocclusion. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is suggested for evaluating condylar and mandibular morphology. This study compares skeletal alterations between twin block and cantilever bite jumper (CBJ) placement using CBCT. It assesses skeletal, dental, and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) changes.

Objective:
To compare the skeletal, dental, and TMJ changes after treatment with removable twin block and CBJ in skeletal Class II malocclusion in growing patients.

Materials and Methods:
In this study we included 40 patients, 20 in each group, randomly allocated using a lottery system. Twin block appliance or CBJ was fabricated for each patient. Pre and posttreatment records were collected over 12 months at 1, 8, and 12 months, by using cephalograms, CBCT.

Results:
Both groups show significant increases in mandibular length (Co-Gn). Twin Block Appliance therapy increases condylar volume and decreases condylar height by stimulating upward and backward growth. CBJ therapy also increases condylar volume and height. Twin Block modifies condylar position with increased width, while CBJ stimulates upward and backward growth, increasing overall condylar volume.

Conclusion:
The study concludes that the CBJ showed better skeletal changes, and the twin block appliance showed more dental changes than the CBJ appliance. Both the twin block and CBJ group showed TMJ changes. The CBJ group showed more TMJ changes than the twin block group. The overall efficacy of the CBJ is more than the Twin Block appliance because of more condylar remodeling.

Authors: Yangzes Sonam , Vani Divya Challa , Malhotra Chintan , Gupta Amit , Thakur Anchal , Jinagal Jitender 
Published: January 2025

Background:
Phacoemulsification, a widely utilized surgical procedure for cataract removal, presents unique challenges in patients with severe kyphoscoliosis due to their inability to lie flat. The conventional positioning and ergonomic setup in cataract surgery must be adapted to accommodate such anatomical variations and ensure successful surgical outcomes.[1-5]

Purpose:
To describe an innovative surgical technique and ergonomic modifications for performing phacoemulsification in a 70-year-old patient with severe kyphoscoliosis, focusing on performing standing phacoemulsification from an elevated platform to achieve optimal positioning.

Synopsis:
A 70-year-old lady with severe kyphoscoliosis required cataract surgery but could not lie flat on the operating table. To address this, we modified our surgical technique and ergonomic setup. The operating table was set to the lowest height, with the head end elevated and additional pillows for support. The surgeon performed the surgery in a standing position, but owing to the sitting position, the patient’s eye was still high. We modified the standing phacoemulsification technique by standing on a stool to reach the appropriate height for the operating microscope. Another stool was used to position the foot pedal. Phacoemulsification with multifocal IOL implantation was successfully carried out using this approach, ensuring patient comfort and successful surgical outcomes.

Highlights:

• Innovative Technique: The procedure involved a standing surgery approach with the surgeon standing on a stool, addressing the challenges posed by the patient’s inability to lie flat. • Ergonomic Adjustments: Adjustments included lowering the operating table, elevating the head end, and adding pillows for support. • Patient Comfort: The partial sitting position ensured maximum comfort and tolerance of topical anesthesia. • Successful Outcomes: The modified technique facilitated the successful completion of phacoemulsification with multifocal IOL implantation in a patient with severe kyphoscoliosis, showcasing the importance of adaptable surgical practices.

Therapeutic keratoplasty in fungal keratitis
Authors: Jain Neha , Shah Vishwa , Mittal Vikas 
Published: January 2025

Background:
Therapeutic keratoplasty (TPK) is done for microbial keratitis not responding to medical management as well as for lesions adjacent to the limbus which can later progress and involve the limbus/sclera. The surgery aims to eradicate the infection and restore the globe in perforated corneal ulcers. The anatomical and functional outcome of the surgery depends on various factors like a causative organism, the timing of surgery, the size of the lesion, the graft size, inflammation, surgical maneuvers, etc., Recurrence of fungal keratitis has been seen in 5–14% of patients who undergo TPK, possibly due to recurrence in the recipient bed, anterior chamber, or posterior segment.

Purpose:
In this video, we describe the surgical technique of TPK in patients with refractory fungal keratitis. The video elucidates the various intraoperative surgical measures to improve the outcome and decrease the risk of recurrence of infection after the surgery. The tips and tricks of the same have been described in five key headings for easy understanding and to aid beginners as well to perform the surgery with ease.

Synopsis:
A 54-year-old male presented with a decrease in vision in the right eye for 15 days. He had a history of trauma with sugarcane leaf before the onset of symptoms. Full thickness corneal infiltrate with limbus threatening lesion in the superonasal quadrant and collagenolysis was seen. Corneal scraping revealed septate fungal hyphae which later had Aspergillus flavus growth on Sabouraud dextrose agar. After initial medical management for fungal keratitis as the lesion was limbus threatening and was refractory to medical management, therapeutic keratoplasty was planned. The video describes the surgical planning and tips and tricks for the surgery.

Highlights:
The video described the surgery in five broad headings. The first is the trephine size which should include the entire infiltrate and should be at least 1 mm more than the infiltrate size in its largest axis. This reduces the risk of recurrence by taking care of the microscopic spread which can be missed on slit lamp examination. Second is the partial thickness trephination which is done after stabilizing the globe. Third is ensuring that no ledge is left behind as it can become a source of recurrence of infection later. Next, two peripheral iridectomies as made with Vanna’s scissors. Lastly, anterior chamber angles should be formed at the end of the surgery to decrease the risk of secondary glaucoma and increase the chances of graft survival. This video highlights all these factors to increase the overall outcomes of therapeutic keratoplasty done in a patient with fungal keratitis.

Authors: Eltregy Sherif Abdel-moneim , Elashhab Mohamad Gamal El Deen , Hussein Abdinur Abdullahi , Hussein Emad Sanad 
Published: January 2025

Abstract

Background:
Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is maintained as the conventional therapy when advanced osteoarthritis (OA) causes considerable pain and functional impairment.

Methods:
This essay research presents an overview of the present understanding regarding THA in hips affected by developmental dysplasia. In assessing the effect of THA on developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH), numerous outcome metrics were utilized, such as the frequency of revision procedures, the rate of dislocations, and the reasons for treatment failure. With regard to revision surgeries, individuals with DDH have a 1.66 times higher likelihood of needing revisions compared to those with OA.

Results:
Aseptic loosening and periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) were the only failure modes analyzed quantitatively, with three studies each reporting these outcomes. DDH patients were 1.69 times more probable to experience aseptic loosening and 0.76 times less probable to have PJI, but both rates were not statistically significant. Three studies provided data on hospitalization and costs, with stays ranging from 3 to 11 days. One study reported no revisions or loosening of components over a follow-up of 5–10 years, suggesting that cementless THA with double-chevron subtrochanteric osteotomy can effectively restore anatomic hip center and safely lengthen limbs.

Conclusion:
The investigation elucidated a conspicuously heightened rate of revision in subjects diagnosed with DDH subsequent to THA. Albeit, the incidences of dislocation, aseptic loosening, and PJI did not achieve statistical significance. This observation necessitates cautious interpretation, considering the diversity inherent within the patient cohort and the potential influence of confounding variables.

Knowing, doing and showing: a framework for evidencing education and learning designers’ practice in higher education
Authors: Boreland Jennifer , Henry Tanya , Sharpe Sue 
Published: January 2025

Much has been written about the diverse roles, responsibilities, and competencies of third space professionals working in education and learning design. While these debates are important, this paper begins with the premise that, regardless of title or exact role description, all designers are competent; they bring professional expertise to learning design which contributes to quality teaching and learning in their institutions.
With that premise in mind, the purpose of this paper is to outline a possible Framework for designers to measure and evidence their competence and contributions either to use for future engagements and collaborations, to show impact of their practice on quality learning and teaching, to intentionally plan for design engagements, and/or to support applications for promotion or career progression. This paper is a response to what Williams et al. (2011) suggest is a need to know more about the challenges facing education and learning designers so that relevant scholarship can be produced, and to provide a vehicle for designers to clarify their professional identity and promote the importance of their position in the higher education ecosystem. While the authors work in the Australian context, we believe this response has global relevance.
Logs for acid-base chemistry: illustrating the potential of multidisciplinary learning support interventions from the third space
Authors: Wang Joshua , Kenny Elise 
Published: January 2025

The growing accessibility of higher education over the last century is a major accomplishment and should be continuously supported. A particular barrier to widening participation is that curricula across numerous disciplines rely on assumed knowledge for enrolling students. The gaps between this assumed and actual pre-existing knowledge are dispersed throughout institutions, making them difficult to bridge. Our institution runs seven different first-year chemistry subjects, all of which require students to use mathematical logarithms to solve acid-base chemistry problems. Our case study illustrates that third space practitioners with disciplinary expertise, such as those working in STEM support for learning, are uniquely positioned to address challenges like this. As a chemistry educator and mathematics educator employed in the third space, we co-designed and co-delivered a one-hour online workshop titled “logs for acid-base chemistry”. The session explicitly taught logarithmic concepts in context to students from four different chemistry units. Observations made during the workshop suggest that the intervention was able to efficiently improve acid-base calculation confidence in students from all attending cohorts. Finally, the broader benefits of subject specialist third space staff in higher education are discussed in light of the case study findings. Overall, the efficiency of this intervention highlights the under-researched potential of embedding disciplinary experts in third space learning support roles.
