Authors: Santhosh V. C. , Karishma  , Khader Anas Abdul , Ramachandra Varun , Singh Rohit , Shetty B Kaushik , Nimbalkar Vaishnavi Kailash 
Published: July 2023

Background:
Various similarities have been observed between gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) and peri-implant sulcular fluid (PISF). This has resulted in research that has evaluated similar biological fluid markers that are similar to those present within the gingival sulcus. These biomarkers have high sensitivity and are a reliable biological tool when compared to clinical and/or radiographic examination and aid in diagnosis as well as monitoring the progression of periodontal disease surrounding teeth as well as the implants.

Aim:
The study aimed to compare the effectiveness of periostin in peri-implant sulcular and gingival crevicular fluids.

Materials and Methods:
This experimental prospective in vitro analysis was done following clearance by the institutional ethical committee. A total of 100 patients were selected. They were categorized into two groups: (I) Group A patients had peri-implant disease (n = 50), whereas (II) Group B patients had periodontitis (n = 50). Clinical loss of attachment score was noted in six sites around natural teeth and four sites around the implants. Presterilized filter paper strips were inserted within the sulcus/pocket till pressure was felt for 60 s. Periostin concentration levels in GCF and PISF samples were measured by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay technique. Statistical analysis of data collected was performed using Shapiro–Wilk statistical tool for normally distributed numerical data.

Results:
Mean ± standard deviation concentration of periostin in gingival crevicular fluid from periodontitis cases was recorded as 20.15 ± 2.76 ng/30sn, whereas in PISF was 19.23 ± 1.89 ng/30sn. On statistical analysis, no statistically significant differences were seen after comparing the concentration of periostin in periodontitis as well as peri-implantitis groups (P > 0.05).

Conclusion:
The present study analyzed periostin levels in gingival crevicular fluid obtained from patients diagnosed with periodontitis and sulcular fluid obtained from the sulcus around implants. Early biological markers or indicators of inflammation should be studied to determine the prognosis of treatment apart from the clinical assessment for the patient’s benefit.

Published: July 2023

Introduction:
Years after SARS coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) recovery, residual pulmonary abnormalities may still exist. This brings on the question of whether or not COVID-19 could have comparable late consequences. Structural changes in the lungs after recovery can be better visualized using computed tomography (CT) thorax. Computed Tomography Lung Parenchymal changes during hospitalization by COVID-19 and after 4 months of follow-up to correlate with the volumetric high-resolution computed tomography thorax indices, Pulmonary function tests (PFTs) indices, SpO2, and 6 min Walking Test (6MWT).

Materials and Methods:
This is a Hospital based cross-sectional study, with a follow-up among 100 Patients from 2020 to 2022. Each patient’s different CT parameters and HRCT volumetric indices Normal Lung (NL), Normal Lung Percentage (NL%), Whole Lung (WL) were correlated with the PFT indices (Forced expiratory volume in 1s [FEV1], forced vital capacity [FVC], FEV1/FVC), Oxygen Saturation (SpO2) and 6-Minute Walking Test (6MWT).

Results:
The mean NL (L) and NL% during COVID were significantly lower than the mean values 4 months post-COVID. Architectural distortion, bronchiolar dilatation, interstitial thickening, and parenchymal bands were reduced considerably after 4 months post-COVID, compared to during COVID. PFTs results, such as PFT indices, were not significantly different after 4 months post-COVID, compared to during COVID. SpO2 (%) and 6 MWT (m) were significantly increased. During COVID and post-COVID, the values of NL (L) and NL (%) had a significant positive correlation with PFT indices, SpO2, and 6MWT (m).

Conclusion:
Hence, the different CT indices (NL and NL%) can be used as a surrogate for functional recovery of COVID patients since it correlates with the PFT indices (FEV1 and FEV1/FVC), SpO2, and 6MWT post-COVID.

Published: July 2023

Background:
Coracoid is important in many surgeries. Coracoid dimensions have been studied earlier, but its correlation with body anthropometry has not been studied till now. At our institute, during Latarjet procedure, we often see that length of coracoid is sometimes smaller, though the patient is of moderate to good build. This led to our interest in this study.

Materials and Methods:
One hundred computed tomography scans (male/female = 50/50) of Indian population were analyzed for coracoid dimensions namely total length, base length, tip height, base height, tip length, tip width, midpoint width. Body anthropometry like height, weight, body mass index of respective patients was also calculated. Our aim is to compare male to female differences in coracoid dimensions and to determine the effect of body anthropometry on coracoid dimensions.

Results:
The coracoid dimensions were total length 3.8 centimeter (cm) (standard deviation [SD] ± 0.47, range 3–5.1 cm), tip length 2 cm (SD ± 0.34, range 1.39–3.25 cm), tip width 1.2 cm (SD ± 0.2, range 0.67–1.7 cm), tip height 0.97 cm (SD ± 0.18, range 0.57–1.43 cm), base length 1.35 cm (SD ± 0.3, range 0.5–2.5 cm), base height 1.4 cm (SD ± 0.31, range 0.7–2.2 cm), and midpoint width 1.27 cm (SD ± 0.23, range 0.7–1.9 cm). The coracoid is larger in males than in females. We observed a negative correlation between height and all coracoid dimensions.

Conclusion:
Patient's height has a negative correlation with coracoid dimensions. A tall individual may not always have a large coracoid and surgeon must be prepared for alternatives in case of a shorter coracoid.
Total Hip Arthroplasty in Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip Patients
Authors: Sebastian Abin Sunny , Sathikumar Aravind Sai , Thomas Appu Benny , Varghese Jacob 
Published: July 2023

Background:
Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) leads to secondary osteoarthritis (OA) in adolescents and young adults. The abnormal bone morphology makes total hip arthroplasty (THA) in these patients challenging with high complication rates. This study aims to report the radiological and functional outcomes of THA in DDH patients in the South Indian population.

Methodology:
All DDH patients who underwent THA for secondary OA of the hip in our hospital between 2008 and 2021 were included in the study. Functional outcomes were measured using preoperative and postoperative Oxford hip score (OHS) and short form-12 (SF12) form. Radiological imaging was used to assess Crowe's classification, radiolucency, acetabular inclination angle, and offsets.

Results:
Mean follow-up duration was 5.5 years (2–12 years). A total of 16 DDH patients were included in the study. OHS and SF-12 scores remarkably improved compared to preoperative scores. Bony ingrowth with no evidence of loosening was seen consistently on both femoral and acetabular side in all patients on X-rays. Our complications included one posterior dislocation, one acetabular screw cutout in the immediate postoperative period, and one patient with subtrochanteric nonunion at the osteotomy site.

Conclusions:
THA in arthritic dysplastic hips had consistent improvement in the hip scores and quality of life. The use of the excised shortened vascularized graft technique described below-hastened osteotomy healing to 6 weeks as compared to the earlier technique. Deferring immediate partial weight-bearing in Crowe IV hip may minimize the risk of cup failure and screw cutoff.
Measurements and modeling of water levels, currents, density, and wave climate on a semi-enclosed tidal bay, Cádiz (southwest Spain)

Published: July 2023

Abstract. Estuarine dynamics are highly complex as a result of the temperature and salinity gradients, as well as the multiple interactions between atmospheric, maritime, and hydrological forcing agents. Given the environmental and socioeconomic importance of estuaries and their current and future threats due to human interventions and climate change, it is of vital importance to characterize these dynamics, monitor their evolution, and quantify the expected impacts derived from climate change. This paper presents a hybrid database combining data obtained in six field surveys (in 2012, 2013, and 2015) and results from a physically based 3D numerical model for the Bay of Cádiz (southern Spain), a highly anthropized mesotidal estuary. The 3D dataset includes water levels, currents, density, and wave climate, allowing for an analysis of bay dynamics at different timescales ranging from intratidal processes to seasonal variabilities. The results offer an example of the potential uses of the dataset and include (1) an assessment of the spatial and seasonal variability of the estuarine dynamics and (2) an analysis of the effects of severe weather events. These examples provide convincing evidence regarding how the dataset can be employed in multiple research fields and applications, including ocean–bay interactions, water exchange between basins, longwave and shortwave propagation along creek systems, and energy extraction of tidal waves. Therefore, this hybrid dataset may be of significant interest for stakeholders and scientists from different sectors (water engineering, ecology, urban development, energy, etc.) working on the environmental management of the Gulf of Cádiz and other tidally dominated shallow bays. It can also serve as a benchmark test for numerical hydrodynamic models, infrastructure intervention assessments (e.g., dikes or breakwaters), or renewable energy conversion system models.

Authors: Резяпова Г.Ф. 
Published: July 2023

В статье рассмотрены понятие транспорта и транспортной деятельности, проблемы правового регулирования в сфере транспорта. На основании изучения гражданского законодательства, судебной практики и мнения ученых автором установлено, что транспортные отношения до сих пор не регулируется федеральным законодательством, а ограничивается лишь законами отдельных видов транспорта. Более того, в связи с пробелом в законодательстве, несомненно, актуальным является необходимость создании единого закона, регулирующего общественные отношения в сфере транспорта. Кроме того, в статье анализируется правовые средства регулирования и охраны в сфере деятельности транспорта и приводятся предложения, направленные на совершенствование исследуемого института.
The article discusses the concept of transport and transport activity, the problems of legal regulation in the field of transport. Based on the study of civil legislation, judicial practice and the opinion of scientists, the author has established that transport relations are still not regulated by federal legislation, but are limited only by the laws of certain types of transport. Moreover, due to the gap in legislation, it is undoubtedly urgent to create a single law regulating public relations in the field of transport. In addition, the article analyzes the legal means of regulation and protection in the field of transport activities and provides proposals aimed at improving the institution under study.

The present study was performed to know the prevalence of coccidiosis and efficacyof anti-coccidial drugs in the capital city of Muzaffarabad, Azad Kashmir, Pakistan. A total of 573broiler birds of different age groups were sampled from the study area farms and processedaccordingly. Fecal flotation and McMaster egg counting techniques were used for Oocystidentification and counting, respectively. Postmortem of birds was performed to know the lesions and
type of coccidiosis present in the birds. Drug trial was also carried out to evaluate the efficacy of anti-coccidial drugs available in the study area market. An overall 19.37% (111/573) prevalence of
Coccidiosis was observed in study area. Among different age groups, broilers below three weeks ofage were found more susceptible to infection. During summer season higher prevalence was recorded.Different risk factors were found associated with coccidial infection in the study area. Fiveanticoccidial drugs available in the market have been found effective with different efficacy level.Among the anticoccidial drugs used during the present investigation, Sulphadimerazine 86% hadshown better effect. Besides these anticoccidial drugs, a herbal plant locally known as Sumbal was alsoused and found potent against Coccidiosis. This is a good alternate choice used in field conditionsalong with synthetic anti-coccidial for the treatment and control of coccidiosis. It was deduced thatprevalence of coccidiosis recorded in study area was comparatively lower than prevalence recorded inother parts of the world. Furthermore, Sulphadimerazine 86% have shown comparatively betterefficacy than other drugs.

Published: July 2023

Aim: This work was to determine the phytochemical, proximate, in vitro antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-hyperglycemic activities of root extracts of Combretum platypterum.
Methods: Roots of C. platypterum were cold extracted with methanol, ethyl acetate, and n-hexane. The extracts were subjected to proximate, phytochemical analyses, antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-hyperglycemic assays.
Results: The result of proximate analysis revealed that the roots contained 73.90+0.10% carbohydrates, the mean % of fibre and ash contents were >7.00, whereas the average protein and moisture contents were >4.00. The result of qualitative phytochemical analysis revealed that alkaloids, saponins, tannins, phenolic compounds and carbohydrates were present in the three extracts, whereas steroids were sparingly present only in n-hexane extract. The result of antimicrobial screening indicated that B. subtilis, S. aureus, E. coli, C. albicans and S. typhi were susceptible to the inhibitions of the three extracts in concentration-dependent manner, whereas only the n-hexane extract showed a dose-dependent inhibition against P. aeruginosa. Methanol and ethyl acetate extracts showed good anti-inflammatory as well as antioxidant activity. The inhibition of α-amylase was greater with n-hexane extract.
Conclusion: the extracts showed good antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and anti-hyperglycemic activities and can be a potential antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and anti-hyperglycemic agent.

Authors: Okerstrom Sue , Esponda Daniela , Fernandez-Jansink Carolina 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
This article proposes using microscopy for nature-inspired design in the early stage of “fuzzy front end” radical innovation and sustainable design technology, where it would have a high positive or sustainable impact. To give a taste of what is possible, a live virtual Nature Experience Radical Design (NERD) Jam was created. Instead of starting with a problem, designers, biologists, engineers, microscopists, and curious people were invited to begin with the solution. By observing and empathizing with nature, both in its element and under a microscope, microscopy reveals unique structural adaptations and possible unknown strategies and mechanisms when exploring nature as a series of successful devices in particular environmental contexts. By looking at nature on multiple scales, one can discover unique models to design sustainable solutions for multiple human challenges.

Published: July 2023

Objectives: Our aim was to test if machine learning algorithms can predict cancer mortality (CM) at an ecological level and use these results to identify statistically significant spatial clusters of excess cancer mortality (eCM).Methods: Age-standardized CM was extracted from the official databases of Brazil. Predictive features included sociodemographic and health coverage variables. Machine learning algorithms were selected and trained with 70% of the data, and the performance was tested with the remaining 30%. Clusters of eCM were identified using SatScan. Additionally, separate analyses were performed for the 10 most frequent cancer types.Results: The gradient boosting trees algorithm presented the highest coefficient of determination (R2 = 0.66). For total cancer, all algorithms overlapped in the region of Bagé (27% eCM). For esophageal cancer, all algorithms overlapped in west Rio Grande do Sul (48%–96% eCM). The most significant cluster for stomach cancer was in Macapá (82% eCM). The most important variables were the percentage of the white population and residents with computers.Conclusion: We found consistent and well-defined geographic regions in Brazil with significantly higher than expected cancer mortality.
Memaknai Frasa “Menggenapkan Apa yang Kurang pada Penderitaan Kristus”: Studi Teks Kolose 1:24
Authors: Baskoro Paulus Kunto , Setiasih Yemima 
Published: July 2023

Paul's statement in Colossians 1:24 is interesting to analyze. The words "completing what is lacking in the afflictions of Christ" present believers with some difficulties. At first, these words reveal indirectly that there is a lack in the sufferings of Christ, that the effectiveness of our Lord's sufferings is limited, and that the purpose of redemption must be completed or accomplished through Paul's sufferings. The sufferings of Christ are perfect, sufficient to atone for the sins of mankind, and do not need to be completed. What needs to be completed or fulfilled is suffering to preach the Gospel about Christ, who died and was raised, so that many will know Him and the power of His Resurrection. This research will be studied by the descriptive qualitative method. First, this study aims to provide a theological answer to the meaning of “fulfilling what is lacking in the sufferings of Christ.” Second, it is given an essential meaning for every believer to live more and more earnestly in Christ because of the perfect atonement that Jesus made.

Abstrak
Pernyataan Paulus dalam Kolose 1:24 menjadi hal yang menarik untuk di analisis. Perkataan "melengkapkan apa yang kurang dalam penderitaan Kristus” menghadapkan orang percaya pada beberapa diskusi Nas. Sepintas nampaknya perkataan ini mengungkapkan secara tidak langsung bahwa ada kekurangan dalam penderitaan Kristus, bahwa keefektifan penderitaan Kristus itu terbatas dan tujuan penebusan harus dilengkapi atau diselesaikan melalui penderitaan Paulus. Penderitaan Kristus sudah sempurna, sudah cukup untuk menebus dosa manusia dan tidak perlu digenapkan lagi. Hal yang perlu digenapkan atau dipenuhkan adalah penderitaan demi mengabarkan Injil, tentang Kristus yang berinkarnasi menjadi manusia, mati menjadi korban tebusan dan telah dibangkitkan dari antara orang mati. sehingga banyak orang akan mengenal Dia dan kuasa kebangkitan-Nya. Penelitian ini akan dikaji secara metode kualitatif deskritif. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah Pertama, memberikan jawaban teologis terhadap makna “menggenapkan apa yang kurang pada penderitaan Kristus.” Kedua, memberikan makna penting bagi setiap orang percaya untuk hidup makin lebih sungguh-sungguh dalam Kristus, karena penebusan yang sempurna yang dilakukan Yesus.
POLITIČKI I PRAVNI IZAZOVI REPUBLIKE SRPSKE U PRISTUPANJU BOSNE I HERCEGOVINE NATO SAVEZU
Authors: Vranješ Nevenko D. 
Published: July 2023

Članstvo Bosne i Hercegovine u NATO savezu predstavlja jedno od najspornijih unutrašnjih pitanja sa značajnim spoljnim implikacijama. Nešto više od dvije i po decenije intenzivnih poratnih odnosa BiH i NATO saveza obilježeno je interpolacijom NATO-a u provođenje vojnih aspekata Dejtonskog mirovnog sporazuma, uticajem na reformu odbrane i uspostavljanje Oružanih snaga BiH, kao i stalnim partnerskim aktivnostima na planu obuke, zajedničkih vojnih vježbi i operacijama podrške miru u kriznim područjima. Paralelno s tim, vlasti BiH usvajale su dokumente pravnopolitičke prirode na putu saradnje i podnošenja zahtjeva za članstvo u NATO. Međutim, najmanje deceniju unazad, u Republici Srpskoj od strane zvanične politike, a istraživanja pokazuju i velike većine naroda, stvorena je barijera daljim koracima ka atlantskim integracijama BiH. Kao razlozi se navode još uvijek svježa i bolna sjećanja na agresiju NATO saveza na Republiku Srpsku u operaciji Namjerna sila tokom 1995. godine, promjene na globalnom planu i uticaj Rusije i Kine na međunarodne odnose, kao i njihova trenutna i buduća investiciona ulaganja u Republiku Srpsku te snažnu podršku u Savjetu bezbjednosti UN (a što je inkompatibilno sa postojanjem NATO-a ovde), stav Srbije o vojnoj neutralnosti i opredjeljenost Republike Srpske da u ovim pitanjima prati Srbiju te u tom smislu postojanje zvaničnog akta Narodne skupštine Republike Srpske o njenoj vojnoj neutralnosti kao ekonomska neopravdanost izdvajanja za odbranu.
Predmet rada su Politički i pravni izazovi Republike Srpske u pristupanju BiH NATO savezu. Rad će obuhvatiti političke i pravne implikacije ovog pitanja kroz prizmu bliske prošlosti ovih prostora, vojnu dimenziju odnosa, ekonomske i međunarodne aspekte, ali i do sada preuzete prilično ireverzibilne korake ka članstvu. Glavna hipoteza istraživanja je da su NATO integracije BiH u poodmakloj fazi s pravnopolitičkog aspekta, ali da su u materijalnom aspektu prilično neopravdane i blokirane kako snažnim protivljenjem Republike Srpske, tako i sve većom suzdržanošću u Federaciji BiH.
