Abstract
Background
This study (1) evaluated the stability of the maxillary and mandibular proximal and distal segments after surgery-first bimaxillary surgery for class III asymmetry and (2) determined whether the stability of a given mandibular segment was related to the movement of any segment during surgery or postsurgical stability of any other segment.
Methods
Seventy adults with class III asymmetry consecutively corrected through surgery-first Le Fort I osteotomy and bilateral sagittal split osteotomy were investigated. Cone-beam computed tomography imaging performed before treatment (T0), 1-week after surgery (T1), and after all treatment (T2, ≥1-year after the surgery) was used to assess skeletal movement during surgery (T0 to T1) and postsurgical skeletal stability (relapse, T1 to T2) regarding the translation and rotation of the maxillary, mandibular distal, and proximal segments. Stepwise regression was performed to evaluate the relationship between the stability of a given mandibular segment and the movement of any segment during surgery or postsurgical stability of any other segment.
Results
At T1, the distal segment had moved forward and upward and rotated upward (all p < 0.001). The deviated proximal segment had moved upward, tilted to the opposite side, and rotated upward (all p < 0.001) and the opposite proximal segment had moved upward (p < 0.001) and tilted to the deviated side (p < 0.01). Sagittal relapse of the distal segment was mainly related to the sagittal instability of the deviated proximal segment (p = 0.001) and pitch rotation during surgery of the opposite proximal segment (p < 0.01). The roll relapse of the opposite proximal segment was mainly related to the vertical movement during surgery of the deviated proximal segment (p < 0.001) and transverse instability of the distal segment (p < 0.01).
Conclusions
Clinically significant relapse of class III asymmetry was discovered on the mandibular distal and opposite proximal segments and was mainly related to the movement of the deviated proximal segment during and after surgery.
Diversity and reproduction of raptors in urban areas in southern Chile
Authors: Muñoz-Pedreros Andrés , Norambuena Heraldo V. 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
Cities in general possess limited areas of original vegetation, or even artificial green areas; this results in drastic modification of faunal communities, with reductions in their original abundance and diversity. Nevertheless, some species are able to thrive in cities, including high trophic level species such as raptors. The object of this study was to characterise the diversity, abundance and reproduction of diurnal and nocturnal raptors in the urban area of a city in southern Chile. Twelve species of raptor were recorded, seven diurnal and five nocturnal. The species recorded most frequently were Coragyps atratus and Glaucidium nanum; the least frequent species were Parabuteo unicinctus and Elanus leucurus. Eighteen nesting sites were recorded of six species of diurnal and nocturnal raptors: Falco sparverius, Milvago chimango, G. nanum, Strix rufipes, Tyto alba and Athene cunicularia. This is a good sample of the diversity of raptor species which reside permanently in urban areas.
Can a glycated hair protein assay be a non-invasive indicator of blood glucose control? - Assessing the influence of sample mass and chemical hair treatments
Authors: Dhanoo Andrew S. , Cockburn Brian N 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
Aims: To determine if glycated protein found in scalp hair can predict blood glucose control as characterised by HbA1c. Also, to investigate cosmetic hair treatments' effect and hair sample mass's effect on the assay.
Materials and Methods: 192 participants were included in this study. Anthropometrics, medical history and about 50 strands of hair, 4 cm long, proximal to the scalp, were collected. The concentration of fructosamine in hair was determined using the Thiobarbituric Acid (TBA) method with a fructose calibration curve. The strength of the correlation between HbA1c and fructosamine for hair samples with and without hair treatments was assessed using Pearson's R.
Results: For the samples with no reported hair treatments, there was a statistically positive association between HbA1c and fructosamine when the sample mass ranged between 40mg to 120 mg. A high positive association, r(28) = 0.647, p = <0.001 was observed when hair samples greater than 70mg were used.
Conclusions: Hair glycation can be a robust, non-invasive indicator of blood glucose control in optimum settings. However, sample collection limitations, lengthy assays, and the influence of cosmetic treatments limit its usefulness as a screening tool for diabetes.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the risk factors of patients with locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC) undergoing radical radiotherapy (with or without concurrent chemotherapy) and to assess the prognostic value of tumor volume regression (TVR) based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in different risk groups.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on 176 individuals diagnosed with stage IIA-IVA cervical cancer (CC) who underwent radical intensity-modulated radiotherapy in our center between January 2012 and December 2020. The tumor volume before radiotherapy (TVp) and before brachytherapy (TVmid) were evaluated based on three-dimensional MRI images, TVR = (TVp -TVmid)/TVp×100%. Kaplan-Meier curves were used to assess patient’s overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS). Prognostic factors were identified using Cox proportional hazards models.
Results: For the entire cohort, patients with TVR ≥ 94% had better 5-year OS (82.7% vs 49.8%, p<0.001) and 5-year PFS (82.5% vs 51.1%, p<0.001) compared to TVR < 94%. Patients with TVR ≥ 94% were more likely to receive concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) than those with TVR < 94% (70.1% vs 40.5%, p<0.05). Among patients undergoing CCRT, those with a TVR ≥ 94% had a better prognosis than those with a TVR < 94%. However, among patients who received RT alone, those with TVR ≥ 94% had better PFS but no statistically significant difference in OS. Likewise, among patients with CYFRA21-1 < 7.7 ng/ml, patients with TVR ≥ 94% had a better prognosis. However, TVR was not a prognostic factor in patients with CYFRA21-1 ≥ 7.7 ng/ml. Both CYFRA21-1 (OS, PFS interaction, p<0.001) and FIGO stage (PFS interaction, p=0.035) were found to significantly impact predictive effects of TVR.
Conclusion:
In LACC patients with CRYFA21-1 < 7.7 ng/ml who received CCRT, TVR was an important prognostic factor. However, in patients with CRYFA21-1 ≥7.7 ng/ml who received RT alone, the prognostic value of TVR needs to be further explored.
Sustainability of rural water services in the humanitarian-development-peace nexus: a case study from Diffa, Niger
Authors: Hayes Paul , Fawcett Ben 
Published: January 2023

AbstractViolence committed by non-State armed groups has displaced over 250,000 people in the Diffa region of Niger and crippled the regional economy. The humanitarian response included substantial investment in water infrastructure which has largely alleviated the immediate needs of displacement-affected populations. However, ongoing insecurity threatens the sustainability of these rural water services. A systems-thinking approach to explain the interaction between different sustainability factors for rural water services is advocated by a growing body of literature, but is almost exclusively focused on stable contexts. The applied research reported here adopted a qualitative assessment methodology to determine the impact of the insecurity in Diffa on these sustainability factors. Twenty-five respondents from government, water management structures, donors, and non-governmental organisations were interviewed between March and June 2021. The research demonstrated that insecurity in Diffa impacts negatively on all sustainability factors for rural water services and impedes access, coordination, and communication by and between relevant actors. The overlapping humanitarian and development contexts and the push to implement a triple nexus approach – which includes peace as its third element – raise dilemmas concerning the application of water tariffs, the durability of water infrastructure, and the suitability of a community-based approach to water management.
Coping with water insecurity in urban Ghana: patterns, determinants and consequences
Authors: Achore Meshack , Bisung Elijah 
Published: January 2023

AbstractIn Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), rapid urbanization poses unprecedented challenges in terms of water security and associated health risks. Like most SSA countries, many Ghanaian households lack access to safely managed drinking water sources and resort to a patchwork of alternative sources for their water needs. This paper examines determinants and implications of water insecurity coping strategies in resource-constrained neighborhoods in Ghana, using a survey (n = 1192) of adult active water collectors within households in Accra and Tamale. Findings suggest that water insecure households were more likely to adopt behavioral, physical and a mix of behavioral and physical coping strategies. Households were more likely to use behavioral (OR = 5.64, p = 0.00), physical (OR = 3.18, p = 0.00) and behavioral and physical (OR = 4.20, p = 0.00) coping strategies in the dry season. Compared with the wealthy, the less wealthy (OR = 0.27, p = 0.00) were less likely to employ a mix of physical and behavioral coping strategies. Likewise, males were less likely (OR = 0.64, p = 0.03) to employ a behavioral coping strategy. The findings can help practitioners identify vulnerable groups and provide targeted interventions that seek to build or strengthen coping strategies in the short term.

Abstract
Giardia spp. is an intestinal parasite responsible for worldwide disease outbreaks. Guiding researchers and practitioners to choose among current methods for microscopy detection of the infectious forms may be directly beneficial to public health and the environment. This study provides an overall comparison of brightfield (BF), fluorescence and darkfield (DF) microscopies for detecting Giardia duodenalis and Giardia muris cysts, by illustrating micrographs of such protocols applied to purified samples, as well as discussing advantages and constraints based on secondary information and collected data. BF analysis included Lugol's iodine staining. In fluorescence microscopy, samples were processed by immunofluorescence assay (IFA) with DAPI and by standalone DAPI dye. Cyst suspensions were also analysed by DF microscopy using a recently developed low-cost system. The three techniques enabled detecting Giardia spp. cysts, although they did not provide species identification by morphology. The overview of each method points out some relevant aspects to consider when selecting common optical microscopy techniques, and includes challenges and advantages regarding each of them.
