Authors: Bommireddy VS 
Published: March 2023

Introduction:
Health being a biological and social entity makes an important contribution to economic progress. Though we live in the 21st century still many underserved communities are lacking to adopt healthy lifestyles. One of many reasons would be religious convictions such as taboos, myths, or misbeliefs.

Aim:
This study aims to assess the periodontal status, and to comprehend the myths and misconceptions among adults in Jeelugumilli Mandala, West Godavari district, Andhra Pradesh.

Materials and Methods:
A cross-sectional study design was used among 12 panchayats in which 29 villages were present in Jeelugumilli Mandal. Out of 29 villages one village was selected by convenience sampling as it is a manageable unit which represents rural population. Oral examination was done using community periodontal index (CPI) and loss of attachment for those individuals who met inclusion criteria. A valid questionnaire was used to quantitate about social myths and taboos. Pearson’s Chi-Square and descriptive statistics were applied to the collected data and level of significance was set at P ≤ 0.05 for the tests.

Results:
A statistically significant difference was observed in CPI scores among males and females (P = 0.024), those who brush their teeth once daily and those who brush twice (P = 0.005) and high significance was seen among those who consume alcohol and those who do not (P < 0.001). For loss of attachment scores high significant difference was found among tobacco chewers and nonchewers, those who brush once daily and twice daily (P < 0.001).

Conclusion:
Most of the misbeliefs were seen among illiterates and rural population. Hence, there is a need to improve the level of education as well as knowledge related to health, among these groups for overall improvement of health related quality of life.

Background:
Increasing incidence rates of diabetes related to air pollution have been reported in high-income countries. However, few studies evaluated air pollution effect on plasma glucose indices, in addition to diabetes and prediabetes incidence in developing countries. This study investigated the association between exposure to common air pollutants and the changes plasma glucose indices over time. The incidence of type 2 diabetes (T2D) and prediabetes in future were also examined in association with exposure to air pollution.

Materials and Methods:
A total of 3828 first-degree relatives of patients with T2D who were prediabetes or had normal glucose tolerance (NGT) were enrolled in this study. Cox regression was used to assess the relationships between particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10), nitrogen monoxide (NO), nitrogen dioxide, nitric oxides, sulfur dioxide (SO2), and ozone exposure and the incidence of T2D and prediabetes. We also applied a linear mixed model to assess the association between exposure to these air pollutants and changes in plasma glucose indices over time.

Results:
Air pollutants showed a significant positive association with changes in fasting plasma glucose (FPG), glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), and 2 h oral glucose tolerance (OGTT) in participants with NGT and prediabetes. The maximum increase in plasma glucose indices was associated with NO concentration. Our study also showed exposure to all air pollutants except SO2 was significantly associated with an increased risk of developing T2D and prediabetes (Hazard ratio > 1, P < 0.001).

Conclusion:
According to our results, exposure to air pollution increases the risk of T2D and prediabetes incidence in our population. The exposure to air pollutants was also associated with increasing trend in FPG, HbA1c, and OGTT levels in both groups of NGT and prediabetic participants.

Authors: Мазалевская Т.М. 
Published: March 2023

Статья посвящена анализу художественного образа семёновской матрешки советского и постсоветского периодов. За столетнюю историю существования этой традиционной нижегородской игрушки менялись форма, художественно-стилевые особенности росписи, технология ее производства. Эти аспекты изготовления семёновской токарной куклы во второй половине XX века пока недостаточно осмыслены в искусствоведении. Данное исследование, обращаясь к современному образу семёновской матрешки, относит его в большинстве случаев к китчу. В статье приведена история создания семёновской матрешки, описаны классические примеры токарной куклы советского времени и после распада СССР, выявлены и проанализированы элементы китча в матрешке постсоветского периода, определены различия и сходство художественного воплощения игрушки двух периодов, намечены пути восстановления традиционного промысла.
The article is devoted to the analysis of the artistic image of the Semenovskaya matryoshka (Semenovo's matryoshka doll) of the Soviet and post-Soviet periods. Over the hundred-year history of the existence of this traditional Nizhny Novgorod toy, artistic and stylistic features and the technology of its production have changed. Initially, it was a unique style all its own to wed folk motives to the colour patterns of classical Russian easel painting, which was modified later. These aspects of the manufacture of Semenovo’s turning doll in the second half of the 20th century have not yet been sufficiently comprehended in art history. This study, referring to the modern image of the Semenovskaya matryoshka, refers it in most cases to kitsch. The article presents the history of the creation of the Semenovskaya matryoshka doll, describes the classic examples of this turning doll of the Soviet period and the late 20th century, identifies and analyses the elements of kitsch in the nesting doll of the post-Soviet period. The author identifies the differences and similarities in the artistic embodiment of the toy of the two periods, and outlines the development of the Semenovo painting.

The place of socialist realism in the history of twentieth-century art
Authors: Чирков В.Ф. 
Published: March 2023

Календарь 2022 года ознаменован двумя крупными датами — 100-летием СССР и 90-летием Союза художников СССР. Содержательно обе институции связаны с историей изобразительного искусства советской эпохи, главным художественным методом которого был метод социалистического реализма. Это уникальный, не имеющий аналогов в истории мирового искусства художественный метод, основными жанрами которого в живописи были тематическая и жанровая картина, социальный, психологический и лирический портрет. В статье предпринята попытка показать, как в течение пяти десятилетий существования соцреализма (1930–1980-е) было создано великое множество произведений, прославляющих мир и труд советского человека — созидателя новой жизни. Одновременно признается и ограниченность метода, подчиненного официальной идеологии государства и ограничивавшего свободу творчества художников — в выборе тем и стилистических приемов организации формального пространства произведения живописи. Автор исследования относит к заслугам метода соцреализма сохранение и развитие художественно-педагогической школы в искусстве СССР и России.
In 2022, the 100th anniversary of the USSR and the 90th anniversary of the Union of Artists of the USSR were celebrated. Both institutions are connected substantively with the history of the Soviet fine arts, the main artistic method of which was the method of socialist realism. Socialist realism was a unique artistic method which had no analogues in the history of world art. Its basic genres in painting were thematic and genre paintings, social, psychological and lyrical portrait. The paper attempts to show how during the five decades of the existence of socialist realism (1930–1980-ies) a great number of works glorifying the world and the labour of the Soviet man-creator of a new life were created. At the same time, the author admits the limitations of the method that was subordinated to the official ideology of the state and limited the freedom of artists in the choice of themes and stylistic techniques of the formal space of the paintings. The author of the study attributes the merits of the method of socialist realism of the preservation and development of artistic and pedagogical school in the art of the USSR and Russia.

Optimizing the Use of Iodinated Contrast Media for CT: Managing Shortages and Planning for a Sustainable and Secure Supply
Authors: CADTH  
Published: March 2023

Shortages of iodinated contrast media (ICM) due to pandemic-related lockdowns and transportation disruptions have exposed vulnerabilities in supply chains for essential medical supplies.
Radiology associations, government agencies, and clinicians have suggested various strategies to address ICM shortages and strengthen supply chains.
A systems approach to managing ICM shortages could help ensure the involvement of health care providers from all relevant clinical specialties, administration and purchasing, as well as government and industry. Clear communication is key to managing a critical shortage of ICM.
Use of contrast-enhanced CT has increased and the ICM shortages may provide an opportunity to assess optimal use of ICM and reduce unnecessary exams.
ICM use carries environmental consequences that have not yet been fully managed. Strategies to reduce the use of ICM may also help mitigate the environmental impact.
