Prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea in a sample of patients with oral diseases - A cross-sectional survey
Authors: Rastogi Isha , Vyas Khevna , Gandhi Ukti , Yadav Nirma , Kumar Anand 
Published: June 2023

ABSTRACT

Introduction:
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) syndrome or snoring is a life-threatening disorder affecting patients and its associated dental problems. The disease is associated with dynamic collapse of the upper airway involving several underlying factors such as decrease in oxygen saturation, loud disruptive snoring, abrupt awakening, insomnia, and excessive daytime sleepiness. It is essential to take proper steps in time for the diagnosis of this common-seeming disease. Furthermore, dentists themselves should be aware of this disorder, only then they can provide necessary treatment to the needy patients.

Objective:
This study aimed to determine the prevalence of OSA and the awareness of OSA-related oral diseases by a self-administered questionnaire among its patients.

Materials and Methods:
A total of 500 individuals were screened through a cross-sectional single-center analytical study to assess the presence of comorbidities and other dental diseases in each individual attending a dental outpatient department over the age of 20 years with complaints of nocturnal snoring.

Results:
The present authors observed that the prevalence of OSA increases with increasing age and obesity, and in some senior groups it is as high as 43.80% in men (37%–90% in previous published epidemiological studies) and 41.20% in women (in previous published epidemiological studies 50%–78%) in this epidemiological survey. High blood pressure, stress, poor oral hygiene, smoking and alcohol consumption have also been suggested as risk factors, but results are conflicting.

Conclusion:
The dentist must have the proper knowledge, management, and ability to treat patients at risk of OSA. Therefore starting with a dedicated section of the sleep questionnaire asking questions for sleep disorders, questionnaires for early diagnosis (such as the STOP-BANG questionnaire), a multidisciplinary approach, and pneumological examination can support this. Furthermore, the medical factors have to be addressed well to obtain successful treatment. These results may be related to a relationship between several dental diseases/factors (periodontitis, gingivitis, and hypertension) associated with mild OSA. Its difficult diagnosis, and the absence of a dedicated section on sleep disorders in the medical/dental record, can make its treatment more difficult.

Authors: Rastogi Isha , Parekh Parth , Chauhan Neha 
Published: June 2023

ABSTRACT

Introduction:
Teeth/maxillofacial deformity is an integral part of oral and physical development with an incredible spectrum of functionality, and their replacement by advanced prosthodontic rehabilitation (dental implants or maxillofacial prostheses) is vital. Aside from chewing, esthetic and physical survival, oral structures also shape the dynamics of phonation, breathing, keeping a patent airway, and serving as a foundation for the vertical dimensions of the face. They can be fixed/removal prostheses, flexible dentures, fenestrated dentures, and by computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing fabricated dentures, depending on the conditions. An attempt was made to increase awareness among people and evaluate their opinion regarding dental implants and maxillofacial prostheses.

Objective:
The purpose of this survey was to determine patients’ preferences and knowledge of dental implants and maxillofacial prostheses.

Materials and Methods:
A descriptive cross-sectional study among dental patients who attended the dental outpatient department for maxillofacial defects or missing teeth in the past 5–6 months were included in this survey. The level of knowledge, source of information and suitability for the use of dental implants were assessed using standardized and unambiguous questionnaires provided to the patient wishing to correct the defect with an maxillofacial prosthesis or a dental implant. Five hundred patients were selected randomly to be included in this survey.

Results:
In the present study, among 500 respondents as 260 males and 240 females, 75 participants had knowledge about dental implants and maxillofacial prostheses being costly or not, so 23 answered true these are not costly, 390 answered false that they are costly, whereas 398 said they did not know about the cost.

Conclusion:
Proper education and motivation among patients should be done regarding dental implants and maxillofacial prostheses. It is high time patients start replacing their missing teeth and missing body parts, if any. Technology is advancing, and many options are available both in removable and fixed prostheses.

Abstract

Background:
Percutaneous cholecystostomy (PC) can be used as bridging or definitive therapy in some cases of acute cholecystitis. We aimed to compare hospital stay and survival of patients that underwent PC insertion because of acute calculus cholecystitis (ACC) compared to those who did not.

Methods:
This is a retrospective study in which patients with gangrenous cholecystitis and perforation were excluded. Regression models were used to evaluate the influence of PC on mortality and hospital stay.

Results:
Six hundred and eighty-three patients were admitted because of ACC, and 50 patients were referred to PC. Indication for PC insertion were high disease severity index (DSI, 8 pts) and failure of conservative treatment with total disease duration >7 days (42 pts). Those who underwent PC were older (76.0 ± 12.4 vs. 60.8 ± 19.2, P < 0.001); PC was associated with longer hospital stay (12.8 vs. 6.5 days) and higher one-year mortality (20% vs. 4.9%, P < 0.001). Among patients with non-severe disease severity index (DSI), PC was associated with longer length of hospital stay and higher one-year mortality compared to patients treated conservatively (9.9 ± 0.6 vs. 6.0 ± 0.2 days, and 16.7% vs. 4.0%, respectively, P < 0.001 for both). For patients with severe DSI, PC was associated with similar length of hospital stay and one-year mortality compared to similar patients treated conservatively (16.1 ± 8.1 vs. 18.4 ± 4.0 days, and 37.5% vs. 22.6%, respectively, P = 0.802 and P = 0.389, respectively).

Conclusions:
In patients with mild–moderate DSI unresponsive to conservative treatment, PC may be associated with deteriorated prognosis compared to conservative treatment. The decision to insert PC in patients unresponsive to conservative therapy even with disease duration >7 days must be re-evaluated.
What i have Learned from French Psychiatry
Authors: Shinfuku Naotaka 
Published: June 2023

Background:
I studied psychiatry in France from 1971 to 1974 as a French government-scholarship student. I became familiar with a history of French psychiatry, the development of chlorpromazine, new movement of community psychiatry away from hospital-centered psychiatry. What I learned in France became the background for my clinical psychiatric practice after returning to Japan. My experience in France was also useful when I later worked at the World Health Organization (WHO), where I remained involved in shaping national policies concerning mental health in Asian countries. The lessons I have learned in France are innumerable. French psychiatry has made a monumental contributions to the world psychiatry. But these facts are not well-known to Asian countries.

Methods:
Based on my experiences, I would like to introduce several achievements made by French psychiatry.

Results:
During my studying psychiatry in France, 1971-1974, I learned France being one of birthplaces of psychiatry, witnessed the birth of the World Psychiatric Association (WPA), heard of discoveries of psychotropic drugs, experienced the academic activities at l'Hôpital Sainte Anne, as well as exposed myself to a community mental health center and deinstitutionalization to learn a different way in taking care chronic patients with schizophrenia.

Conclusion:
My valuable studying experiences in France have had huge influences in my later psychiatric career, such as helping the development of mental health policy in countries of the Western Pacific Region of WHO, doing the research on the use of psychotropic drugs in Asia (REAP), involving in the WPA, and founding the Asian Federation of Psychiatric Associations.

Published: June 2023

Objectives:
The association between obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD) and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and the effects of OCD medication on STI risk remain unknown. In the present study, we intended to study the risks of subsequent STIs after an OCD diagnosis and the effects of related OCD medications on STI risk.

Methods:
With the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database, we enrolled 15,908 adolescent and young adult patients with OCD and 159,080 age- and sex-matched individuals without OCD between 2001 and 2009, and followed them up until the end of 2011 for subsequent STI diagnoses.

Results:
The total patients with OCD were significantly more to acquire an STI, with a hazard ratio (95% confidence interval) being 3.25 (2.61–4.03), than their counterparts without OCD (p < 0.05). The associations between OCD medications, including antidepressants, mood stabilizers, and second-generation (atypical) antipsychotic drugs, and subsequent STI risk did not reach any significant differences.

Conclusion:
In this study, we found that OCD is an independent risk factor of acquiring any STI in the adolescent and young adult population. We recommend that clinicians should be more alert in identifying risky sexual behaviors and STI risks in such patients with OCD.

Taxpayers' awareness varies greatly in their knowledge of tax requirements, their capacity to learn about their responsibilities, their perception of the consequences of not fulfilling those responsibilities and their awareness of services to help them with their taxes. Empirical evidence suggests that individuals are motivated by financial considerations, non-financial considerations, considerations, information and the way they process this information. The purpose of this study was to measure how much or concern the people of South Sumatra in complying with tax regulations. This research is a literature study in which the author examines several journals related to previous research. The results of the literature study are then used to identify the level of tax compliance following some steps that can be taken to improve tax compliance in Indonesia. There are three paradigms of tax administration that emerged from this study. This paradigm begins with a government compliance strategy based on detection and punishment. The second paradigm, the paradigm that recognizes the influence of enforcement as well as the administration of taxation that facilitates and provides services to taxpayer citizens, the third paradigm that views taxpayers as members of a larger group, as social beings whose behavior depends on their own moral values and also on their perception of the quality, credibility, and reliability of tax administration. Strategies for controlling tax avoidance fall into three main categories. First, there is room for improvement in policies to improve detection and punishment. Second, there is room for improvement of tax administration services by becoming more consumer friendly. Third, by using mass media to strengthen tax compliance.
