Evaluation and Calibration of CBCT Reconstruction Models
Authors: Gao Tao , Sun Yuchun , Yuan Fusong , Liang Shanshan 
Published: February 2023

Purpose:
This study proposes a method for improving the accuracy of three-dimensional
(3D) models generated through cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT).

Methods:
A 3D cuboid model fitted with a ¼-scale dentition on its top surface was constructed to simulate
an alveolar bone with teeth. A physical specimen of the model was printed and the distance between
its opposite sides was measured using a vernier caliper. The physical model was light-scanned,
and the surface data of the generated 3D model were corrected by calibrating the distance between
opposite sides against the vernier caliper measurements. The physical model was also scanned using
CBCT to reconstruct a second 3D model. The overall deviation between the two models and the distance
deviation in each direction of the cuboid and dentition were quantified and statistically analyzed.

Results:
The overall deviation between the reconstructed CBCT model and the calibrated structured
light-scanned model was 0.098 ± 0.001 mm. Following calibration, the overall deviation was 0.010 ±
0.006 mm. A one-way variance analysis suggested that the overall deviations' differences were not
statistically significant (P < 0.05).

Conclusion:
This study lays a solid foundation for accurate dental implantation.

Authors: Xu Ke , Wang Changtong 
Published: February 2023

Abstract:
Nanocomposite hydrogels have attracted extensive research interest due to their potential
applications in health care, electronic skin, and sensors. This paper reviews the performance
and characteristics of nanocomposite hydrogels based on zero-dimensional, onedimensional,
and two-dimensional nanofillers, including sensitivity, detection range, detection
limit, and application scenarios. The effects of different dimensional nanofillers on the performance
of nanocomposite hydrogels are discussed, and the advantages and disadvantages of
nanocomposite hydrogels based on different nanomaterials are analyzed. The structural design,
materials, processing strategies and encapsulation methods of nanocomposite hydrogel sensors
are also briefly described. Then, this paper focuses on the application of wearable sensors in
human motion detection and biomedical direction and compares the advantages and disadvantages
of wearable sensors based on different nanocomposite hydrogels in the above two applications
directions. Finally, the problems and challenges existing in the application of wearable
sensors are discussed, and the development trend of wearable sensors based on nanocomposite
hydrogels is attempted to be prospected.
Integrated Proteomics and Metabolomics Analyses of Serum in Chinese
Patients with Severe and Active Graves’ Orbitopathy: A Cross-sectional
Study
Authors: Xin Zhong , Hua Lin , Shi Ting-Ting , Liu Hong-Ying , Zhu Xiao-Rong , Xie Rong-Rong , Sun Ran , Cao Xi , Yang Jin- Kui 
Published: February 2023

Objective:
The present study aims to investigate the alterations of serum proteomic and
metabolomic profiles in Chinese patients with severe and active Graves’ Orbitopathy (GO).

Materials and Methods:
Thirty patients with GO and 30 healthy volunteers were enrolled. The
serum concentrations of FT3, FT4, T3, T4, and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) were analyzed,
after which TMT labeling-based proteomics and untargeted metabolomics were performed. Metabo-
Analyst and Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA) was used for integrated network analysis. A nomogram
was established based on the model to explore the disease prediction ability of the identified
feature metabolites.

Results:
One hundred thirteen proteins (19 up-regulated and 94 down-regulated) and 75 metabolites
(20 increased and 55 decreased) were significantly altered in GO compared to the control group. By
combining the lasso regression, IPA network, and protein-metabolite-disease sub-networks, we extracted
feature proteins (CPS1, GP1BA, and COL6A1) and feature metabolites (glycine, glycerol
3-phosphate, and estrone sulfate). The logistic regression analysis revealed that the full model with
the prediction factors and three identified feature metabolites had better prediction performance for
GO compared to the baseline model. The ROC curve also indicated better prediction performance
(AUC = 0.933 vs. 0.789).

Conclusion:
A new biomarker cluster combined with three blood metabolites with high statistical
power can be used to discriminate patients with GO. These findings provide further insights into the
pathogenesis, diagnosis, and potential therapeutic targets for this disease.

Authors: Lau Siew Tiang , Siah Rosalind Chiew Jiat , Dzakirin Bin Rusli Khairul , Loh Wen Liang , Yap John Yin Gwee , Ang Emily , Lim Fui Ping , Liaw Sok Ying 
Published: February 2023

Background
The capacity of health care professionals to perform clinical procedures safely and competently is crucial as it will directly impact patients’ outcomes. Given the ability of head-mounted virtual reality to simulate the authentic clinical environment, this platform should be suitable for nurses to refine their clinical skills for knowledge and skills acquisition. However, research on head-mounted virtual reality in learning clinical procedures is limited.

Objective
The objectives of this study were (1) to describe the design of a head-mounted virtual reality system and evaluate it for education on clinical procedures for nursing students and (2) to explore the experience of nursing students using head-mounted virtual reality for learning clinical procedures and the usability of the system.

Methods
This usability study used a mixed method approach. The stages included developing 3D models of the necessary instruments and materials used in intravenous therapy and subcutaneous injection procedures performed by nurses, followed by developing the procedures using the Unreal Engine (Epic Games). Questionnaires on the perception of continuance intention and the System Usability Scale were used along with open-ended questions.

Results
Twenty-nine nursing students took part in this questionnaire study after experiencing the immersive virtual reality (IVR) intervention. Participants reported largely favorable game perception and learning experience. Mean perception scores ranged from 3.21 to 4.38 of a maximum score of 5, while the mean system usability score was 53.53 of 100. The majority found that the IVR experience was engaging, and they were immersed in the game. The challenges encountered included unfamiliarity with the new learning format; technological constraints, such as using hand controllers; and physical discomfort.

Conclusions
The conception of IVR for learning clinical procedures through deliberate practice to enhance nurses’ knowledge and skills is promising. However, refinement of the prototypes is required to improve user experience and learning. Future research can explore other ways to use IVR for better education and health care purposes.

BACKGROUND

Mobile health (mHealth) apps are rapidly emerging technologies in China due to strictly controlled medical needs during the COVID-19 pandemic while continuing essential services for chronic diseases. However, there have been no large-scale, systematic efforts to evaluate relevant apps.

OBJECTIVE

We aim to provide a landscape of mHealth apps in China by describing and comparing digital health concerns before and after the COVID-19 outbreak, including mHealth app data flow and user experience, and analyze the impact of COVID-19 on mHealth apps.

METHODS

We conducted a semilongitudinal survey of 1593 mHealth apps to study the app data flow and clarify usage changes and influencing factors. We selected mHealth apps in app markets, web pages from the Baidu search engine, the 2018 top 100 hospitals with internet hospitals, and online shopping sites with apps that connect to smart devices. For user experience, we recruited residents from a community in southeastern China from October 2019 to November 2019 (before the outbreak) and from June 2020 to August 2020 (after the outbreak) comparing the attention of the population to apps. We also examined associations between app characteristics, functions, and outcomes at specific quantiles of distribution in download changes using quantile regression models.

RESULTS

Rehabilitation medical support was the top-ranked functionality, with a median 1.44 million downloads per app prepandemic and a median 2.74 million downloads per app postpandemic. Among the top 10 functions postpandemic, 4 were related to maternal and child health: pregnancy preparation (ranked second; fold change 4.13), women's health (ranked fifth; fold change 5.16), pregnancy (ranked sixth; fold change 5.78), and parenting (ranked tenth; fold change 4.03). Quantile regression models showed that rehabilitation (P<sub>75</sub>, P<sub>90</sub>), pregnancy preparation (P<sub>90</sub>), bodybuilding (P<sub>50</sub>, P<sub>90</sub>), and vaccination (P<sub>75</sub>) were positively associated with an increase in downloads after the outbreak. In the user experience survey, the attention given to health information (prepandemic: 249/375, 66.4%; postpandemic: 146/178, 82.0%; <i>P</i>=.006) steadily increased after the outbreak.

CONCLUSIONS

mHealth apps are an effective health care approach gaining in popularity among the Chinese population following the COVID-19 outbreak. This research provides direction for subsequent mHealth app development and promotion in the postepidemic era, supporting medical model reformation in China as a reference, which may provide new avenues for designing and evaluating indirect public health interventions such as health education and health promotion.

Authors: BADRIYYA ELSA , LATIFAH WILDATUL , ALDI YUFRI 
Published: February 2023

Objective: Pegagan embun (Hydrocotyle sibthorpioides Lam.) is one of the herbs used in ethnomedicines as an immunostimulant during the COVID-19 pandemic. This present study aims to discover the potential toxicity effect of pegagan embun extract through sub-acute administration on the SGPT and SGOT levels of Wistar white male rats.
Methods: Thirty-six test animals were divided into four groups: the control group was given Na CMC 0.5%, and the treatment groups were treated with ethanol extract of pegagan embun at doses of 7, 35, and 150 mg/kgBW. All groups were treated orally for 7, 14, and 21 d once daily. On the 8th, 15th, and 22nd day, the SGPT and SGOT of the test animal level were measured. The data were analyzed by two-way ANOVA followed by Duncan’s multiple range test (p<0.05).
Results: The study revealed that administration of pegagan embun extract did not cause any harmful effect on the liver but significantly decreased the level of SGPT and SGOT influenced by the variety of doses and duration of administration (p<0.05). Significant reductions in SGPT and SGOT levels are seen after extract administration at dosages of 7 mg/kgBW for 21 d.
Conclusion: This study showed that pegagan embun (Hydrocotyle sibthorpioides Lam.) extract sub-acute administration at doses of 7, 35, and 150 mg/kgBW is relatively non-toxic and safe to be used as an immunostimulant. There was no sign of damage showed in the liver of treated rats based on the levels of SGOT and SGPT.
Introduction: Transnational Memory and Traumatic Histories
Authors: Ford Joseph 
Published: February 2023

Memory studies has moved from the cultural collective, rooted within the bounds of the nation state, to the transnational or transcultural, which in recent years has come to account for the circulation of “memory cultures” in an increasingly complex, globalised and violent world. In what follows, the essays in this special issue on Transnational Memory and Traumatic Histories are briefly introduced and contextualised within this transcultural framework.
Entangling Rites: the Pattern of Experience in Cormac McCarthy's All The Pretty Horses
Authors: Juge Carole 
Published: February 2023

The character of John Grady Cole in All The Pretty Horses marks a clear shift in McCarthy's choices for characterization. McCarthy has also operated a change of landscape from southeast to southwest in both his previous novel, Blood Meridian, as well as in his personal life. Indeed, even though Blood Meridian's theatre was largely built on western ground, his young hero, the never-baptized "kid," was eastern born, like McCarthy. If "the moral universe [...] remains [indeed] constant" through the shift in setting, John Grady must be acknowledged as the first genuine western hero, as he is the first to be western born and bred (McMurtry 143). His genuineness as a western male avatar is slightly challenged by his father's former eastern-ness. And despite John's authenticity as a westerner, it does not seem to be "the second best thing to dyin and goin to heaven" as John Grady runs from Texas to find a new Eden in Mexico (All The Pretty Horses 17).
Desperado Literature: A Rewriting of Fear as Terror, as Illustrated by Ian Mc Ewan’s Saturday (2005)
Authors: Vianu Lidia 
Published: February 2023

There are two traditions, we might argue, in the history of literature: the fairy-tale tradition (as I call it) and its opposite. The fairy-tale tradition sees the world as making sense, as leading to the happy fulfillment of expectations. Boy meets girl, boy courts girl, wins girl, marries girl – in simple or complicated arrangements. The fairy-tale tradition hinges on a linear storyline which inevitably leads to a definite denouement. The modernist movement is the first attempt at opposing the fairy tale tradition, at proving that life is not a system (‘a series of gig lamps symmetrically arranged’ – Virginia Woolf,The Common Reader), but chaos (‘a luminous halo surrounding us from the beginning of consciousness to the end’ – Woolf again).
The Marquis de Sade's The 120 Days of Sodom: Revelling in the Natural Law of Libertinage
Authors: Di Ponio Amanda 
Published: February 2023

Libertinage is as much a part of Nature as asceticism. This is fundamental to understanding de Sade's The 120 Days of Sodom. What is documented in the text is not the extreme perversions of Nature, but rather the other side of Nature which civilization has caused the human individual to forget, or at least deny. As this article shall show, what de Sade offers in Sodom is an image of a society that has replaced civilized practices with libertinage, thus making it the dominant doctrine.
William Blake and the Bible: Reading and Writing the Law
Authors: Farrell Michael 
Published: February 2023

Samuel Beckett notes an etymological connection between the origin of the word law and the act of reading in the evolution of the Latin word lex (Beckett 11). The word lex originally meant a crop of acorns and its correlative verb legere meant to gather (acorns). Gradually, lex came to mean a gathering of peoples into an assembly - a political or legal assembly - and hence law; and the verblegere came to mean a gathering of letters into a word, to read. In the light of the notion that the Bible promotes unbounded reading, it is necessary to consider to what extent the activity of reading and interpretation is bound by law and convention.
The Politics of Dancing: Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo
Authors: Schwartz Selby Wynn 
Published: February 2023

Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo (nicknamed "The Trocks") have been performing "serious" ballets en travesti since 1974. Acclaimed worldwide, the Trocks are on tour forty weeks a year. Last time they performed in New York, Time Out New York listed them as "pick of the week," in three categories simultaneously: best dance performance, best gay & lesbian event, and best children's activity (Chung). What does all this popularity mean, politically? Is it necessary to concede that the Trocks are merely another lovably harmless manifestation of drag, just as well assimilated as Mrs. Doubtfire and Dame Edna, or can we trace from their double heritage - edgy 1970's gay performance tactics, and those monumentally iconic Russian prima ballerinas - an underlying political strategy of activism and cultural relevance? In this article, I will argue that political motivation is embedded in each of these traditions, in a number of different ways. The strategies of resistance employed by the Ballets Trockadero draw on each of these inherited histories in order to mount a camp performance that confronts the tenets of gender identity, of classical ballet, of issues of race and class in the performing arts, of enforced theatrical illusion - and even of drag itself.
Charles Hawtrey, Kenneth Williams, and Susan Sontag: Campaigners of Camp and the Carry On films.
Authors: Bannister John 
Published: February 2023

If Camp was the twentieth century carminative for fear of "Being-as-Playing-a-Role," (Sontag 280) Queer, its efficacy as a laxative for such a depraving "social disease" in the twenty-first century, is quite ineffective. As Roger Lewis points out, "Everything has to be Camp now, from Eddie Izzard to Graham Norton" (68). To be Camp is not to be a la commodious. It has passed into the mainstream. It is a la mode. How has this happened? Homosexuality had to be douched by lavatorial comedy.
Dude Looks Like A Lady: Straight Camp and the Homo-social World of Hard Rock.
Authors: Burton Jack 
Published: February 2023

Madison Square Garden. 1973. Robert Plant, the 25 year old singer and frontman of Led Zeppelin, undoubtedly the world's biggest rock band, takes to the stage in front of another sell out crowd. He is dressed in his trademark outfit of blue denim jeans and snakeskin boots. His torso is conspicuously left uncovered beneath a blue shirt several sizes too small. His muscular biceps are hugged by its gathered sleeves, presumably worn with the intention of creating a sense of oriental opulence but actually suggesting nothing more exotic than a woman's blouse. As he flicks aside his lustrous mane of blond curls he delivers the opening lines of Black Dog in his trademark high-pitched wail; "Hey, hey, mama. Said the way you move. Gonna make you sweat. Gonna make you groove."As this short description shows, Plant exhibits the androgynous appeal of the classic rock god in all his glory. That this androgyny came to function as a social marker of absolute masculinity, however, suggests a far more complex interplay of identities within the hard rock genre than the more obviously playful ambiguities explored by gender pioneers like David Bowie or Prince. That Robert Plant continues to be all man, while simultaneously looking and sounding like a woman, suggests that the straight camp of the rock god provides a more complex function than the questioning of gender roles. To discover what this function is, and its central role in the hard rock genre's categorization as a virtual bastion of unreconstructed masculinity, we must begin by sketching a brief history of its musical roots.
Camp Cures (the Stigma of Illness). Escaping the Tyranny of Caring, Charity, and Positive Thinking in Adam Mars-Jones' "Slim"
Authors: Lassen Christian 
Published: February 2023

In the slang of the caring profession, there is an enduring use of the personal pronoun "we" whose infantilising effect â€“ and I am sure "we" all share this view - is indeed hard to endure. Pronoun it may be, personal it surely isn't. On a larger scale, the inadequacy of this pathetic, in fact pseudo-empathetic, babble becomes increasingly apparent, especially for two reasons whose incompatibility exposes the true dimension of the dilemma. Firstly, this sort of talk excruciatingly extends into an overkill of compassion, well-meaning, and good advice, whose self-righteousness in time results in normative stereotypes of healthy living: positive thinking, creative visualisations, and not least, physical exercise. Secondly and simultaneously, though, this tyranny of caring can barely conceal the fact that illness is still widely viewed as a stigma. Entering the present discourse of HIV and AIDS at this point, one can hardly fail to notice that it is this very stigma that increasingly forces gay men into normative spectacles of health, even though, as Dollimore accurately contends, "contesting these negative representations (homosexuality = pathology = death) could never be just a question of substituting positive ones (homosexuality = health = life)" (Dollimore, Death, Desire and Loss xi). Put simply, there is urgent need for a cure against the stigma of illness, a cure that successfully counters both the debilitating, indeed incapacitating, treatment of the patient and his called-for charade of healthy living. One such cure is camp.
