IDENTIFYING THE IMPACT OF BUILDING CHARACTERISTICS ON INDOOR OVERHEATING: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW
Authors: Keles Cagla , Hoque Simi 
Published: January 2025

ABSTRACT
In recent years, indoor overheating in urban areas has become a significant phenomenon due to global warming and more frequent extreme heat events. Building characteristics are a decisive factor in identifying the indoor thermal resilience of buildings. The aim of this paper is to systematically review and analyze the impact of various building characteristics such as ventilation, envelope material, building age on indoor overheating, and to identify the knowledge gaps in our understanding of overheating in buildings. Through systematic literature review, 55 papers published between 2015–2023 were selected, and analyzed in terms of descriptive and qualitative approaches. Four building characteristics themes, which are building envelopes, ventilation, shading systems, and architectural & environmental attributes, were identified to reveal the various strengths, opportunities, and limitations of building characteristics. Then, gap analysis was provided concluding with recommendations and future research directions for mitigating overheating gleaned from a review of the current state of the research. Results revealed that although there are multiple strategies for reducing indoor overheating during extreme heat events, different design characteristics in different combinations need to be tested in various locations and climate conditions, particularly for future excessive heat events, to quantify their costs and benefits. At present, a holistic approach for identifying the building characteristics and their impact on indoor overheating does not exist. Moreover, more comprehensive research is needed to understand the impact of building characteristics in different urban environments in real-scale case studies. The study contributes to the understanding of the challenges and the research gap of existing literature regarding the impact of building characteristics on indoor overheating.

Published: January 2025

Abstract

Rationale:
Melanotic neuroectodermal tumour of infancy (MNTI) is an unusual, rapid growing, pigmented tumour of neural crestal origin that is seen in infants. It is more common in males with predilection for the maxilla and an unpredictable malignant potential. It constitutes a great challenge in diagnosis, treatment planning and prognosis.

Patient Concerns:
This is a case of MTNI in a 5-month-old female child, who presented to the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery with progressive swelling on the right side of the upper jaw over the last two weeks with ‘teeth floating appearance on imaging’.

Diagnosis:
There was significant extraoral diffuse swelling and facial asymmetry. Intraorally a well-defined mass noted on alveolar ridge of anterior maxilla and hard palate, crossing midline and associated with unerupted teeth. A subsequent contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) scan and 3D CT scan revealed an expansile radiolucent lesion involving the right maxilla with destruction of cortical bone and displacement of primary central, lateral, canine and molar teeth, which appeared as a ‘free-floating teeth appearance’ in axial and coronal sections, confirmed by an open biopsy as Melanotic neuro-ectodermal tumour of infancy. Immunohistochemistry was used for precise diagnosis due to biopsy sample limitations and tumour variability.

Interventions:
Surgical resection was done after obtaining informed consent from the parents under general anaesthesia. The removal of unerupted primary central and lateral incisors, canine and molar teeth and also peripheral ostectomy was done as visible flecks were observed.

Outcome:
The postoperative period was uneventful. Regular follow-up after 26 months postoperatively showed acceptable healing with no portent of recurrence.

Take-away Lessons:
Early diagnosis and conservative surgical treatment and periodic follow-up postoperatively gives an excellent result with good prognosis.

Published: January 2025

Abstract

Introduction:
Impacted and semi-impacted third molar surgery can lead to considerable distress and discomfort in patients.

Aims:
The present study aimed to assess the changes in salivary levels of malondialdehyde (MDA) and total antioxidant capacity (TAC) after third molar surgery.

Materials and Methods:
In this study, 210 patients scheduled for third molar surgery were selected. Unstimulated whole saliva samples were collected from patients preoperatively and one week after the surgery, via the ‘spitting method’. The collected samples were immediately centrifuged and the supernatants were stored at −20°C until testing. The levels of MDA and TAC were measured with a spectrophotometer.

Results:
The results were presented as mean ± standard deviation and paired t-test was used to statistically analyse the changes in pre-operative and post-operative values of MDA and TAC. A decrease of mean salivary TAC (P = 0.031) and an increase of mean salivary MDA (P = 0.034) were detected postoperatively.

Discussion:
Following third molar surgery, the increase of mean salivary MDA and the decrease of mean salivary TAC were detected; however, these changes were not statistically significant.

Published: January 2025

Abstract

Introduction:
Maxillofacial fractures cost the New Zealand Accident Compensation Corporation approximately NZ$ 70–80 million annually. We have previously reported on ethnic and age groups disproportionately affected by these injuries and the impact of the COVID-19 lockdowns. This study provides an analysis of the aetiologies contributing to maxillofacial fractures over a period of 11 years.

Materials and Methods:
Patients who were referred with a maxillofacial fracture to the Wellington Regional Plastic, Maxillofacial and Burns Unit from January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2023, were identified from our maxillofacial fracture database. The aetiology of injury was classified as interpersonal violence (IPV), fall, sport, road traffic accident (RTA), other or unknown. The number caused by each aetiology was correlated with year of injury to produce a trend over time.

Results:
A total of 2651 cases were identified during the study period. IPV was the most common aetiology, followed by fall, sport, RTA, other and unknown. The total number of injuries per year did not change significantly, nor did the number of injuries caused by sport, other or unknown aetiology. The number of injuries from IPV decreased by 3.9% per year, fall increased by 4.4% per year and RTA increased by 7.2% per year.

Discussion:
IPV remains the leading cause of maxillofacial fractures, although this is decreasing. The number of maxillofacial fractures caused by RTA is increasing. There is a sustained increase of maxillofacial fracture caused by falls, which especially affect the elderly, warranting further study of possible causes and preventative strategies.

Abstract

Introduction:
The tongue plays a crucial role in speech, swallow and sleep. It is the most common site of primary intraoral cancer. A fasciocutaneous free flap is the first reconstructive option after surgery.

Materials and Methods:
The aim of this study was to investigate the functional outcomes in patients treated with hemiglossectomy. We evaluated the objective tests and subjective assessments of swallowing, speech and sleep at 30 days after the surgery (T0) and at least 6 months after the end of the treatment (T1). We have implemented a battery of validated tools that comprehensively evaluate functional outcomes after resection of oral cancer, including speech, swallowing and head-and-neck-specific quality of life: MD Anderson Dysphagia Inventory (MDADI), Performance Status Scale-Head and Neck (PSS-HN) and Lazarus Tongue Range of Motion (ROM) Scale. Patients underwent objective tests such as videonasal endoscopic evaluation and magnetic resonance imaging. All patients were subjectively assessed with the Epworth Sleepiness Scale and underwent nocturnal polygraphy.

Results:
We treated six patients with advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue; three received radial forearm flap and three received anterolateral thigh flap. Our study found that ROM, flap volume and defect volume are the most important characteristics for better MDADI, PSS-HN, Epworth score and respiratory disturbance index (RDI) on polygraphy.

Discussion:
Reconstruction of tongue cancer defects is challenging as the surgeon must consider adequate control of the tumour while also optimising residual functional capacity. The volume of the flap and ROM would seem to be the most important characteristics for improving the functional outcome.

Authors: Makkar Vidur , Pandurangi Aditya , Makkar Vidushi , Hani Ume , Mahadevaiah Mahesh , Pandurangi Swapna 
Published: January 2025

Background:
Spinal cord injury (SCI) results in severe physical impairments and significant lifestyle disruptions, including paralysis, increased dependence on caregivers, and a tendency toward social isolation. These challenges deeply affect the psychological health and overall quality of life (QOL) of those impacted, especially in younger patients. Investigating the psychological and QOL outcomes in individuals with stable SCIs is crucial for developing tailored rehabilitation strategies.

Aim:
The study aimed to investigate the psychological health and QOL in patients with stable SCIs.

Materials and Methods:
This observational cross-sectional study involved patients with stable traumatic SCIs recruited through WhatsApp support groups from two major centers in India. Eligible participants were adults who were at least 1-year postinjury. Those with severe head injuries or nontraumatic spinal injuries were excluded. Participants provided sociodemographic information and injury history and completed assessments evaluating psychological health and QOL. Data were analyzed using IBM SPSS software, and statistical significance was determined through Chi-square tests.

Results:
Psychological distress was identified in 26.2% of the participants. Younger participants exhibited significantly poorer QOL in the psychological domain (P = 0.02). Employment status showed a significant association with the physical domain (P = 0.037) and overall QOL scores (P = 0.046). Socioeconomic status was significantly correlated with both the psychological (P = 0.004) and social domains (P = 0.009).

Conclusions:
The study underscores the considerable impact of SCI on psychological health and overall QOL, with younger individuals disproportionately affected. Healthcare providers should prioritize the integration of psychological support and counseling in SCI rehabilitation programs.
A case series of dermatopathological features in different types of morphea and their clinical correlates
Authors: Pathave Hari , Poojary Sheetal 
Published: January 2025

ABSTRACT
The dermatopathological features in morphea (localized scleroderma) and their clinicopathologic correlations are not well described in the literature. To describe dermatopathological changes of different types of morphea and to investigate the association between clinical and histopathological features. A total of 18 cases of morphea who attended our tertiary care center in the last four years were evaluated. We noted clinical characteristics of all patients and dermatopathological changes like the pattern of sclerosis, degree of inflammation, cell types and all epidermal-dermal, and appendageal changes. Clinicopathological correlation was performed to interpret the clinical significance of dermatopathological changes in various types of morphea. Morphea was most commonly noted in the third decade and females. A circumscribed plaque was the most common clinical presentation. Full-thickness pattern of sclerosis was significantly associated with various clinical outcomes. Basal pigmentation and a reduced number of appendages were noted in more than 80% of patients. All patients had various grades of inflammation. Severe and moderate-grade inflammation with eosinophils and plasma cells was associated with pruritus and/or pain. The limitations are small sample size and single-centered case series. The dermatopathological examination of morphea may help in better monitoring and treatment of patients, including patterns of sclerosis and grades of inflammation, and cell types in skin pathology reports will aid in proper and better clinical management.

Trunk Wood Discoloration and Decay Following Root Wounding
Authors: Frank S. Santamour 
Published: January 2025

AbstractDiscoloration and decay of trunk wood following root severance occurred only in trees that exhibited weak Wall 2 compartmentalization of chisel wounds made in the trunks. Furthermore, trunk wood discoloration only occurred when the root cambium died back to, or beyond, the junction of root and trunk. Thus, that trunk wood discoloration induced by root severance may have been the result of trunk injury (cambial death) rather than the root wounding. Other factors such as tree species, root size, and season of severance may also play a significant, but presently unknown, role in this process.

Published: January 2025

RESUMO
Os sinais de envelhecimento estão ligados à ação muscular, perda de sustentação óssea, flacidez da pele e diminuição do volume dos compartimentos de gordura facial. Para o tratamento do envelhecimento da pele, é utilizado o Ácido Hialurônico, preenchedor com o objetivo de repor a hidratação preenchendo as áreas afetadas e estimulando a produção do colágeno perdido. Assim, o objetivo deste estudo é relatar um caso de intercorrência com o uso da substância na área das olheiras, indicar quais medidas foram tomados para solucioná-la e qual o diagnóstico médico realizado na paciente. Ao final do estudo, foi possível relatar que a conduta do profissional logo após a intercorrência foi fundamental para que não houvesse uma piora no quadro. Contudo, a análise médica foi inconclusiva sobre a lesão ocular, podendo ter sido por três fatores: 1. Permeação da medicação hialuronidase nos tecidos oculares. 2. Reação alérgica a medicação hialuronidase. 3. Lesão ocular por excesso de massagem na distribuição de hialuronidase nas regiões palpebrais.

Abstract. Due to considerable reductions in nitrogen oxides (NOx), ozone trends and variations in eastern China remain inadequately understood. Long-term observations of ozone precursors were conducted to explore the factors influencing ozone trends in this region. Combined with satellite and surface measurements, we evaluated the trends in low (2nd percentile), typical (50th percentile), and peak (98th percentile) ozone concentrations in detail. Observations indicate a significant decrease in peak ozone concentrations (−0.5 % yr−1), alongside an increase in low ozone concentrations (0.3 % yr−1), across eastern China during May–September from 2017 to 2022. The decline in typical ozone concentrations is notably slower than that of peak ozone concentrations, which is approximately −0.02 ppb yr−1 (−0.0 % yr−1) during the same period. Anthropogenic emissions primarily drive trends in low and peak ozone concentrations in eastern China, though meteorological effects also play a role. Ozone formation sensitivity shifts from volatile organic compound (VOC)-limited or transitional regimes in the morning (08:00–11:00 local time, LT), when ozone concentrations rise sharply, to NOx-limited regimes around peak concentrations (∼ 14:00 LT). The reduction in NOx concentrations is identified as a key factor driving the decline in peak ozone concentrations, aiming to further reduce ozone exceedance days. Thus, controlling NOx concentrations emerges as crucial for mitigating peak ozone levels. Moreover, the increase in low ozone concentrations can also be attributed to both anthropogenic emissions and meteorological factors. Our findings underscore the beneficial impacts of NOx reduction on managing peak ozone levels. Regular changes in ozone formation sensitivity throughout the day should be considered when formulating effective ozone control policies.
