Published: December 2022

Background:
CBCT, the modern 3D imaging equipment, eases the intricacies of dental diagnosis.

Aims:
Our study aimed at assessing the knowledge and attitudes regarding Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) among dentists in Maharashtra.

Subjects and Methods:
A cross-sectional study design was conducted by administering an online questionnaire consisting of 17 questions to the dentists of Maharashtra. The online survey was distributed through Google forms shared on different social media platforms, emails and websites. SPSS version 17 software and Chi-square test was employed.

Results:
About 91.2% MDS were aware of the use of CBCT for dentomaxillofacial region. Approximately 77.7% general practitioners use digital imaging modality. 70.6% BDS refer patients for CBCT in their daily practice. Greater number of BDS (88.5%) than MDS (79.4%) are satisfied with the use of CBCT. Dentists with more than 10 years of practice (60%) agreed higher on utilization of CBCT in the future for selected dental applications than those with less than 10 years of practice (37.4%). A statistically significant difference with P <0.05 was revealed.

Conclusion:
Fostering cognizance and positive attitudes among dentists towards CBCT, would tremendously boost the present-day dental diagnosis. Its promotion through optimal hands-on sessions, workshops would aid in its efficient application.

Authors: Atima Mayor Orezime , Pam Douglas Jah 
Published: December 2022

Background:
The treatment of ocular pterygium overtime has been subjected to the development and application of various new strategies towards simpler, quicker, and more comfortable surgical procedures that have foster the development suture-less technique with conjunctival autograft to reduce recurrent rate.

Aims:
To evaluate the long-term follow-up of recurrent rate and immediate complication in primary pterygium excision with Inferior Limbal Conjunctival Autograft (ILCA) a 5 years follow-up in a Tertiary Ophthalmic Centre.

Materials and Methods:
The medical record of 68 patients (80 eyes) who underwent pterygium excision and free ILCA for primary nasal pterygium who completed the 5 years follow-up were retrospectively reviewed for recurrence and immediate postoperative complication, of these 59 patients met the criteria.

Result:
In this study, 59 patients (71 eyes) completed the 5 years follow-up that account for 86.8%, 9 patients defaulted accounting for 13.2%. Two (3.4%) out of the 59 patients had recurrence, one male at 3 months and a female at 2 months that were 21 and 40 years old, respectively. The early complication that was seen in this study was mild conjunctival hyperemia secondary to suture irritation.

Conclusions:
After a long follow-up period for ILCA for primary pterygium surgery, the success of conjunctival autograft was high with little or no complication seen, this may be related to a significant learning curve or differing surgical techniques for this procedure. The greatest risk factors for recurrence were young age and type of pterygium.
Prevalence of Depression and Associated Factors among Secondary School Teachers in Medina Region, Saudi Arabia
Authors: Al-Qahtani Faisal Saeed Safar 
Published: December 2022

Background:
Depression is one of the most common psychiatric conditions seen in primary health care clinics. On the other hand, teaching is one of the most stressful jobs.

Objective:
The aim was to estimate the prevalence and risk factors of depression among secondary school teachers in the Medina region.

Subjects and Methods:
A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on a representative sample of secondary school teachers of both genders in the Medina region. A multistage cluster sample technique was implemented to recruit the participants. The data were collected using a self-administered Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) depression questionnaire.

Results:
The study included 297 teachers. More than half of them (54.2%) were males and the vast majority (97.6%) were Saudis. Major depression, based on PHQ-9 depression questionnaire was reported among 8.4% of the participants, whereas minor depression was reported among 14.1% of them. Among the studied habitual factors, the smoking of Shisha and nonpracticing of physical exercise were significantly associated with depression among teachers. Regarding obstetric and gynecological factors, female teachers with a history of postnatal depression were more likely to have major and minor depression features than those without such history.

Conclusion:
Depression is a common health problem among secondary school teachers in Medina region affecting almost one quarter of them. Familial instability, shisha smoking, physical inactivity, heavy teaching load, and deficiency of educational competencies are strongly correlated with depression. Further studies are needed to explore the extent of the problem among teachers at different levels of teaching across the kingdom.

Authors: Alshehri Ahmad A. , Hakami Abdulrahim R. 
Published: December 2022

Background:
Anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in symptomatic and asymptomatic cases provides helpful insight about its clinical implications.

Aims and Objectives:
The aim of this study is to determine anti-nucleocapsid IgG antibodies in nurses, qualitatively, both in asymptomatic and symptomatic nurses, and to determine the rate of asymptomatic cases. Second, to compare antibody reactivity from asymptomatic and symptomatic subjects.

Materials and Methods:
Samples were collected from four hospitals in the Southern Region, Najran, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). Quantitative enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay from Epitope Diagnostic, Inc were used to measure the level of anti-nucleocapsid (anti-NC) antibodies in nurses.

Results:
One hundred twelve samples tested positive for antibodies (70%). Other variables were assessed, including age, gender, ABO blood group, and nationality. A significant difference was found between asymptomatic nurses vs. those with negative antibodies (*P = 0.0147), suggesting they could have transmitted SARS-CoV-2 unknowingly. Forty-one nurses (25.6%) were symptomatic, while 99 nurses were asymptomatic (61.8%).

Conclusion:
In this study, 112 nurses (70%) tested positive for the anti-NC antibodies, 41 (25.6%) were symptomatic, 99 (61.8%) were asymptomatic, and 48 (30%) were anti-NC antibody negative. Future work should focus on the association of respiratory disease with the concentration of antibodies, and if antibodies wane rapidly after COVID-19 infection.

Published: December 2022

Context:
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) have widely been demonstrated in inflamed periodontal tissues and oral fluids. MMP3 is one of the MMPs which is effective in the degradation of numerous extracellular matrix substrates. It also participates in the proteolytic activation cascades of latent pro-MMP1, -8, and -9 which mediate collagenosis.

Aims:
This study aimed to estimate the gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) MMP3 levels in chronic periodontitis before and after scaling and root planing (SRP).

Settings and Design:
A total of 60 subjects aged 25–55 years are randomly selected from the outpatient department of periodontology of our institute and categorized into two groups of 30 each; Group I - periodontally healthy and Group II - generalized chronic periodontitis.

Subjects and Methods:
Clinical parameters such as plaque index, gingival index, probing depth, and clinical attachment loss were recorded in both groups. GCF was collected only once in Group I but twice in Group II. After the baseline records, Group II received SRP treatment followed by re-recording of clinical parameters and GCF sample collection 6 weeks posttreatment. GCF samples were analyzed for MMP3 molecule by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.

Statistical Analysis Used:
Data were analyzed by Student's t-test and Pearson's correlation coefficient.

Results:
All the clinical parameters showed improvements after the treatment procedure (P < 0.05). Baseline GCF MMP3 values in the test group were significantly higher than in controls (P < 0.05), and all the parameters decreased significantly after treatment (P < 0.05). Furthermore, the correlation between individual clinical parameters and biochemical parameter was positive but statistically insignificant (P > 0.01).

Conclusions:
Within the confines of this study, GCF MMP3 was increased in Group II subjects, suggesting its role in chronic periodontitis and the possibility of it being used as an early diagnostic biomarker.

Authors: Karunakaran Anila , Sivaprasad K. K. , Kumar P. Ranjith , Philipose Leena 
Published: December 2022

Aim:
(1) To diagnose by clinical inspection the dental and craniofacial skeletal anomalies in sickle cell anemia (SCA) patients of the particular tribal population. (2) To compare the clinical findings with normal controls of the same population.

Materials and Methods:
A study sample of 52 SCA patients and a control sample of 52 non-SCA patients, both belonging to the tribal communities of the area, were selected by nonrandom purposive sampling from the patients attending the Public Health Centre and Dental Outpatient Department of the Government Tribal Hospital of that region. Permission was duly taken through proper channels from the competent authorities. The study design was a comparative cross-sectional study using nonrandom purposive sampling. The study sample consisted of confirmed SCA patients above 18 years of age of both sexes and belonging to any tribe of the region.

Results:
Statistical analysis was performed using the Chi-square test for categorical variables and Student's t-test for quantitative variables. Frontal bossing, numb chin syndrome, diastemata, and ischemic pulp involvement were absent in both the study and control groups. Intraoral findings such as the inclination of incisors, overjet, and overbite were tabulated and analyzed statistically.

Conclusion:
The data obtained were proposed to be used to formulate a plan for 17 prevention and treatment of the anomalies through timely intervention. Furthermore, the patients need 18 to be made aware of the relationship between these pathologies and SCA. Of the ten features that 19 were examined, only retroclination of incisors showed a significant difference from the control 20 groups. This could be attributed to the lip pressure on the maxilla. However, it did not affect 21 esthetics or function, and therefore, no intervention was required.
Development of Monoclonal Antibody Therapeutics for Alzheimer's Disease
Authors: Takeda Masatoshi 
Published: December 2022

Background:
In a previous review article in the Taiwanese Journal of Psychiatry (Takeda and Tagami: Taiwanese J. Psychiatry 2020; 34: 152-61), we gave the development status of drugs for Alzheimer's disease, presented a relatively pessimistic view, and highlighted the difficulties in their development.

Methods:
Since I have witnessed some encouraging development of monoclonal antibody therapeutics against Alzheimer's disease, I have decided to contribute this article. I reviewed new data from published journals and from internal reports of pharmaceutical companies. I have also offered some explanations and comments.

Results:
In 2021, I saw promising clinical trial results reporting the use of aducanumab, a monoclonal antibody treatment against amyloid β protein, and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced a decision for expedited approval of aducanumab. But the results of aducanumab's phase III clinical trials were considered by some to be insufficient for the approval, and the FDA's decision was controversial. The European and Japanese regulatory authorities did not approve aducanumab. In September 2022, however, more promising results were announced from Phase III clinical trials of another monoclonal antibody, lecanemab.

Conclusion:
In this review, I have recounted the state of the arts of drugs for treating dementia and highlighted remarkable recent progress in the development of monoclonal antibody therapeutics for Alzheimer's disease.

Published: December 2022

Bengkel Seroja Motor is a workshop as well as a shop located in Kotaraja Village, Sikur District, East Lombok Regency. Currently, the increasing number of employees who come from different educational backgrounds makes the diversity of employees also increasingly complex, making it difficult to choose the best employees. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a Decision Support System as an alternative solution, so as to increase efficiency and ef- fectiveness in the selection and improve quality in determining the best employees. The decision support system for determining the best employees uses the SAW (simple additive weighting) method based on predetermined criteria and weights. The criteria used as indicators are absenteeism, discipline, work attitude, responsibility, and per- formance. The SAW (simple additive weighting) method was chosen because it is able to select the best alternative from a number of alternatives. This research was conducted by looking for the weights on each attribute, then ranking to determine the best employees.
In this study using the Waterfall methodology, which is a software development method that begins with ana- lyzing company needs, designing, building applications, to conducting trials. The results of this study are in the form of a decision support application, which can recommend the best employees at the Seroja Motor Workshop.

Published: December 2022

Melihat keadaan masyarakat saat sekarang ini, jarang memperhatikan penyakit hewan peliharaan/ternaknya dan cara menanganinya. Penyakit ternak bisa disebabkan oleh banyak hal seperti manajemen perkandangan yang kurang bagus, serangan agen infeksius virus, bakteri, parasit, jamur. Bahkan sekarang ini ditemukan penyakit pada sapi yang disebabkan oleh prion, yaitu sejenis molekul protein yang telah berubah susuan konfigurasinya. Belum lagi para peternak sapi dikejutkan oleh Penyakit mulut dan kuku (PMK) yang penularannya sangat cepat. Virus PMK masuk ke dalam tubuh hewan melalui mulut atau hidung dan virus memperbanyak diri pada sel-sel epitel di daerah nasofaring. Virus PMK kemudian masuk ke dalam darah dan memperbanyak diri pada kelenjar limfoglandula dan sel-sel epitel di daerah mulut dan kaki (teracak kaki) mengakibatkan luka/lepuh. Perkembangan teknologi menuntut semua masalah harus teratasi dengan cepat dan tepat. Sehingga peneliti mencoba mengatasi masalah tersebut dengan membuat sebuah aplikasi sistem pakar untuk mengidentifikasi penyakit pada sapi. Pembahasan dalam penelitian ini terdapat 18 gejala-gejala sapi dan menyimpulkan 6 penyakit sapi. Secara umum, tujuan dan manfaat yang ingin dicapai pada penelitian ini yaitu untuk mempermudah bagi kita semua dan lebih khusus bagi masyarakat dalam mengidentifikasi penyakit pada sapi dan cara mengobatinya.
