Impact of Using Standard and High-Resolution Exposure Modalities of Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) System for Dental Implants Dimension Measurements
Authors: Mehdizadeh Mojdeh , Rostamzadeh Parvaneh , Taheri Hossein 
Published: September 2023

Background:
This study aimed to analyze the effects of standard and high-resolution exposures on the diagnostic accuracy of CBCT in the evaluation of dental implant dimensions.

Materials and Methods:
A descriptive–analytical study was carried out on 40 dry human mandibles with appropriate ridge quality based on panoramic radiography. CBCT (Soredex, Cranex 3D, Finland) with a large field of view (FOV) and CMOS flat panel detector were used. CBCT with standard and a high resolution was performed in each mandible. Axial images, reconstructed by OnDemand 3D software, were processed to prepare cross-sectional images from the areas marked by gutta-percha, and then measured by a ruler with an accuracy of 0.01 millimeter in the computer. Measurements were recorded by two observers and the obtained data were compared with the real ones.

Results:
The results showed suitable repeatability in radiologic measurements (r = 0.971), which is indicative of the high reliability of intraobserver measurement. The measurement of width with high-resolution exposure indicated a significant difference with the real condition (P < 0.001); however, this difference was not significant in the case of standard resolution (P > 0.05). Measurement of height with high resolution showed a significant difference with the real condition in the right mandible (P = 0.04) and left mandible (P = 0.05); however, this difference was not significant in standard resolution (P > 0.05).

Conclusion:
Based on our findings, the standard CBCT resolution modality is suggested for dental implant images due to its higher accuracy than high-resolution methods for diagnosing the implant dimensions.

Abstract

Objective:
In patients with post-stroke oropharyngeal dysphagia (PSOD), classical dysphagia therapy (CDT) continues to provide unsatisfactory outcomes and makes it challenging for them to remove the nasal feeding tube. Increasing bolus viscosity helps prevent aspiration in PSOD. However, conventional starch thickeners enhance post-digestion residue. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of swallow training with xanthan gum-based thickener (XGT) (Softia G, NUTRI Co., Ltd., Yokkaichi, Japan) additional to CDT in Chinese PSOD patients with a nasogastric tube when compared to CDT alone.

Methods:
Patients with PSOD who had a nasogastric tube were randomly assigned to either the experimental group (E-group) or the control group (C-group) in this randomized controlled, single-blind, parallel-group study. Both groups received CDT for 4 weeks. The E-group cases received additional swallow training with a Softia G-prepared hydrogel training material. The Functional Oral Intake Scale (FOIS) and modified volume-viscosity swallow test (M-VVST) for swallowing safety and efficacy according to adjusted Chinese dietary habits were administered before and after treatment. Post-training, both groups’ nasogastric tube removal rates were calculated.

Results:
One hundred sixty-seven participants (E-group: 82 and C-group: 85) completed the study. The E-group’s median score of FOIS improved significantly than the C-group after training (median = 5 vs. 3, P < 0.001). The incidence of coughing, voice changes, oxygen desaturation of 3% or more, pharyngeal residue and piecemeal deglutition in the E-group was significantly lower than that in the C-group (P < 0.05). The E-group had 100% nasogastric tube removal, while the C-group had 28.24% (P < 0.001).

Conclusion:
Swallow training with XGT Softia G in addition to CDT can promote swallowing safety and efficacy in Chinese patients with PSOD more effectively than CDT alone.

Authors: Jatale Vinayak , Tiwari Ashutosh , Kumar Mritunjai , Gupta Ravi , Kumar Niraj 
Published: September 2023

Objective:
To compare the prevalence and characteristics of migraine and tension-type headache (TTH) among patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD), progressive supranuclear palsy/corticobasal syndrome (PSP/CBS), and healthy controls (HCs).

Methods:
This cross-sectional study involved the collection of data from consecutive PD (n = 81) and PSP/CBS (n = 21) patients along with 104 HCs. Migraine and TTH were diagnosed using the International Classification of Headache Disorders 3rd edition criteria. Demographic data, PD or PSP/CBS details, and the presence and characteristics of migraine and TTH were collected. Montreal Cognitive Assessment Scale, Patient Health Questionnaire-9, and Pittsburgh Sleep-Quality Index were used to assess cognition, depression, and sleep quality, respectively.

Results:
A comparable proportion of PD and PSP/CBS patients reported lifetime headache (46.9% vs 23.8%; P = 0.06). TTH was more common, observed in 84.3%, 100%, and 93.5% of PD, PSP/CBS, and HCs with lifetime headache, respectively. A comparable proportion of participants in all three groups had bilateral (P = 0.10), dull-aching headache (P = 0.09), and occurring <5/month (P > 0.99). The mean severity score of headache among three groups was comparable (P = 0.39). Although the demographic and clinical characteristics of PSP/CBS patients with and without headache were comparable, PD patients with headache had a higher MDS-UPDRS-III score than those without. More than two-third PD and all PSP/CBS patients with lifetime headache reported headache improvement following parkinsonism onset.

Conclusion:
The prevalence and characteristics of migraine and TTH were comparable in PD, PSP/CBS, and HCs. Headache was associated with greater motor severity in PD. Following parkinsonism onset, headache improved in the majority of PD and PSP/CBS patients with lifetime headache.

Published: September 2023

Background:
Over the last two decades, health professionals and researchers have become increasingly interested in understanding the sociodental approach to improving oral care quality, which focuses more on individuals’ subjective well-being and is guided by Oral Health-Related Quality of Life (OHRQoL) measures.

Objectives:
(1) To critically review published literature on the impact of oral health programmes upon OHRQoL among children and (2) to provide an evidence-based approach on research regarding the impact of oral health programmes upon OHRQoL.

Methodology:
This systematic review is being conducted as per the Joanna Briggs Institute Guidelines and reported as per the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis. An initial literature yielded 359 abstracts/manuscripts which were tested for eligibility. A total of 10 full length articles satisfying inclusion/exclusion criteria were retrieved and were included for qualitative synthesis. Studies were categorized as interventional (7) and observational (3). Four independent reviewers critically assessed the included studies based on CONSORT and STROBE guidelines, respectively. Risk of bias was assessed using ROBINS-I tool for nonrandomized clinical trial, RoB 2.0 tool for randomized clinical trial. Preventive fraction and levels of evidence were calculated for all the studies using the available data.

Results:
A total of 10 studies published over a period of 15 years were considered for qualitative synthesis. Analysis revealed that different types of oral health programmes (curative programs – 5 studies, curative and preventive programs – 4 studies and comprehensive programs – 1 study) were conducted over a duration of 2 weeks to 3 years. The age group of the subjects in various studies ranged from 4 to 14 years. Most of the studies were reported from Brazil (5) (55%). The outcome measures in all the studies were OHRQoL and the tools that were used to measure it were Child Perception Questionnaire (6 studies), Child Oral Impact on Daily Performance (3 studies), and Early childhood Oral Health Impact Scale (1 studies). A wide range of preventive fraction was obtained ranging from 8% to 90%. The risk of bias assessment for nonrandomized studies mostly showed moderate bias, whereas risk of bias assessment for randomized studies showed low bias.

Conclusion:
The results of this systematic review revealed that oral health programs does have a positive impact on OHRQoL among children.

Abstract

Background:
Psychiatric care in Thailand has been established for a long time. It started with Thai traditional medicine and care, and later, it has been integrated with Western knowledge. In this review, the authors intended to highlight how clinical services and training in Thailand have been adjusted in regard to a changing society, environment, and the world.

Methods:
The authors collected information from the literature relevant to psychiatric care in Thailand, including organizations in charge of the mental well-being of health-care professionals and the general public, prescribing patterns of psychotropic drugs, psychotherapy, other interventions, and gender diversity issues.

Results:
Psychiatric care in Thailand is consistently improving in collaborating and networking among organizations and societies to unite psychiatrists with common interests. New specialty and sub-specialty trainings are also offered in response to the demands of residents and fellows as well as patients. There are also more training centers in the central and regional areas of Thailand. Adjusting and strategically managing psychiatric care have been done to deal with service disruption from the COVID-19 pandemic. Interventions, including pharmacological management, different types of psychotherapy, repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation, and electroconvulsive therapy, have combined with Western knowledge and Eastern wisdom to deliver appropriate approaches for Thai people, including mental health care for patients with gender diversity. But the health security system and access to mental health care are areas are still needed to be further improved.

Conclusion:
Over the decades since mental health care has been recognized and increasingly aware, there are improvements in clinical services and academic training. The implementation of those services is still required to be monitored and improved for all populations in Thailand without discrimination.

The agricultural sector makes a significant economic impact in India. It contributes 19.9% to the national GDP. The prosperity of the country's economy greatly affects the country's progress and the quality of life for Indian citizens. The vast majority of farms still use antiquated methods rather than adopting a data-driven strategy to increase output and earnings. It is considered a cornerstone of India's financial structure. Since achieving independence, increasing output through the implementation of cutting-edge technologies has been a top priority. Such cutting-edge technology is the application of machine learning algorithms to forecast agricultural outcomes such as harvest size, fertilizer requirements, and the effectiveness of specific farming implements. In this research, a model was built using an optimization and an ensemble of methods to improve the precision and consistency of prediction. Classifiers based on Support Vector Machines (SVM), K Nearest Neighbors (KNN), Decision Trees (DT), and Logistic Regression (LR) were competed against those based on voting and stacking in the ensemble technique. With an accuracy of 99.32%, the Moth Flame Optimization (MFO) algorithm was utilized to recommend the best crop to be harvested.
