Comparative Evaluation of Root Coverage with Amniotic Membrane Under Macrosurgical and Microsurgical Approach
Authors: Mani L Princee , Gautami PS , Sruthima NVSG , Ramesh KSV , Bypalli Vivek , Rani K Radha 
Published: December 2022

Objectives:
Gingival recession is a major concern as it causes unesthetic appearance during smiling, dentinal hypersensitivity, and root caries. Several surgical procedures have been undertaken to cover these exposed root surfaces, with the most predictable and effective being coronally advanced flap (CAF) with subepithelial connective tissue graft. Because amniotic membrane (AM) contains embryonic stem cells, it can be utilized as a possible autograft/periodontal-guided tissue regeneration substitute. Magnification improves visibility and causes less tissue trauma during surgery. Therefore, the goal of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of root coverage with AM utilizing a conventional macrosurgical technique (MaT) versus microsurgical technique (MiT) employing loupes.

Materials and Methods:
This randomized clinical trial included 24 patients, 12 of whom were treated using MaT and 12 utilizing MiT with 4x magnification loupes. Clinical parameters such as amount of root coverage in terms of vertical gingival recession (VGR), horizontal gingival recession (HGR), increase in width of keratinized gingiva (WKG), clinical attachment loss, and patient satisfaction analysis for the evaluation of discomfort, dentinal hypersensitivity, and esthetics were recorded at baseline and 3 and 6 months after surgery.

Results:
Both the groups demonstrated improvement in all clinical parameters. However, the test group showed a significant reduction in VGR and HGR with a mean difference of 0.95 mm (P = 0.007) and 2.167 mm (P = 0.002) at 6 months, respectively. There was no significant difference in the mean WKG and hypersensitivity scores between the two groups.

Conclusion:
Both treatment approaches, i.e., MaT and MiT with the use of AM, were effective in improving the clinical parameters and the amount of root coverage. However, the test group showed a better reduction in discomfort and hypersensitivity postoperatively with enhanced esthetic outcomes.

Clinical Relevance:
Magnification-assisted root coverage attained predictable outcome.
Assessment of the Greater Palatine Foramen Position in an Indian Population
Authors: Rathod Surekha , Dhande Srushti , Lathiya Vrushali , Kolte Abhay 
Published: December 2022

Background:
During minor dental surgical procedures, the greater palatine nerve block is commonly utilized to achieve anesthesia. The greater palatine nerve and arteries are transmitted through the greater palatine foramen (GPF). Furthermore, this region serves as a soft-tissue donor site. The goal of this research was to interpret the location of the GPF and its diameter in an Indian population by utilizing cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT).

Materials and Methods:
The position of GPF relative to the maxillary molars was estimated by utilizing 120 CBCT scans. Furthermore, the GPF's diameter and distance between the mid-palatine suture and the alveolar ridge were also determined.

Results:
Of the 120 GPFs examined, 102 were found to be in the third molar region. The GPF's distance from the mid-palatine suture and alveolar ridge was 14.01 ± 1.12 mm and 6.74 ± 1.95 mm, respectively. The mean anteroposterior diameter was 3.43 ± 0.3 mm. On considering the age group ≤45 years, the GPF's average distance from the mid-palatine suture (14.35 ± 1.10 mm) and alveolar ridge (7.87 ± 2.09 mm) was significantly higher than >45 years (P = 0.0329 and P < 0.0001, respectively). All the measurements were significantly higher in males.

Conclusion:
The location of GPF is variable but more closely related to the third molar. Sound knowledge of the GPF anatomy is crucial for an effective nerve block and also for preventing complications.

To many people market liberalism may seem a hard sell in our times, looking like a menace rather than an opportunity. It may require an extraordinary personality, shaped by a limitless altruism, to admit that the riches of a few could have been accumulated if more entrepreneurship existed. That was probably the lesson Schumpeter had drawn after leaving behind a bankrupt private bank in 1924, after a four-year stint as its president, and heading for academic recognition. Fact is that, if we count from the 1930s, more than eighty years of dominance of liberal thinking in the discipline of economics have left both ordinary people and scholars with a lingering sense of perplexity. Asking about the resilience of mainstream economics may sound tautological but noted thinkers did not refrain from doing the very same. John Stuart Mill knew that ideas had to wait for "circumstances to conspire in their favour" (p. 208) [1] and J.M. Keynes observed: "The power of vested interests is vastly exaggerated compared with the gradual encroachment of ideas…soon or late, it is ideas, not vested interests, which are dangerous and for good or evil." Along the way, Hayek thought in his essay on intellectuals and socialism (1949), "it is no exaggeration to say that once the more active part of the intellectuals has been converted to a set of beliefs, the process by which these become generally accepted is almost automatic and irresistible" (p. 40).

It is well known that economics does not understand values. It turns out, however, that a main reason for this is that it has not understood markets either. This collection of literature reviews, essays, and original research from the fields of primatology, philosophy, law, and economics grapples with the vexed relationship of values and markets but doesn't quite succeed in addressing it. While there is plenty of wisdom scattered across the different contributions, as a book it fails in its interdisciplinary task of integrating these nuggets, and it fails also to include all the disciplines which would seem to be relevant sources of insight.

Admittedly, economics first aims at solving empirical problems-for instance, what are the causes of unemployment?-and, to this purpose, it elaborates on the principles of the working of the economy. Now, this book suggests a modern conception of economics, called 'monetary analysis'. According to the latter, the fundamental principles of the working of the economy are inseparable from money, while this primacy of money entails a specific way of solving empirical problems.
Segregación urbana en el Estado benefactor: barrios de emergencia y desalojo urbano en Montevideo (1950-1957)
Authors: Bolaña Caballero María José 
Published: December 2022

A través del origen, implementación y desarrollo de la política de barrios de emergencia para los sectores sociales con problemas habitacionales en el Montevideo de los cincuenta, se analiza cómo el Estado benefactor, liderado por un sector político defensor de ideas republicanas e igualitarias, generó a través de las políticas gubernamentales un proceso de segregación urbana de los pobres. Respondiendo con vivienda a sectores que hasta ese momento no habían sido atendidos, generó el comienzo de una zona segregada caracterizada por la pobreza y exclusión social hasta nuestros días.
Ese proceso se produce con debates políticos a nivel del gobierno departamental que evidencian las visiones político-partidarias sobre habitación, ciudad y pobreza en ese contexto y, los vínculos entre comunistas y socialistas y las poblaciones que estaban viviendo el problema de la precariedad habitacional, la vida en viviendas de materiales de desecho y el hacinamiento, escasamente consideradas en las visiones sobre la historia política de esos partidos.
carta de navegación para el Chile del futuro

En medio del preocupante escenario de ataques frontales a la democracia en América Latina que hemos visto en los últimos años, todo el continente acompañó con gran expectativa el plebiscito realizado en Chile el 4 de septiembre de 2022. En esta ocasión, se sometió a votación una propuesta de nueva Constitución que, de ser aprobada, permitiría superar los pilares del modelo neoliberal chileno tan estrictamente consolidados en la Constitución pinochetista de 1980.
Tuvimos el honor de hablar con la historiadora Claudia Zapata el 17 de octubre, poco más de un mes después del plebiscito y de la confirmación del rechazo a la propuesta de la nueva carta. En esta entrevista Zapata recuerda el largo proceso por el que diferentes colectivos comenzaron a presentar demandas de cambios sociales profundos en el modelo neoliberal implantado desde la dictadura, proceso que culminó con el estallido social de 2019 y los acuerdos para la puesta en marcha del itinerario constituyente. Cabe recordar que, si bien estos acuerdos fueron una "negociación desde arriba", con el objetivo de salvar al debilitado gobierno de Sebastián Piñera, los movimientos sociales y las izquierdas lograron ocupar los espacios que se abrieron entonces, definiendo una agenda progresista para avanzar en la conquista de derechos inéditos en la historia del país. Había, por tanto, por parte de estos grupos, mucha confianza en la aprobación del nuevo texto y, en este sentido, el rechazo se sintió como un revés muy duro. El agudo análisis de la historiadora, sin embargo, abre el camino a otras lecturas y amplía nuestra perspectiva sobre los avances, las esperanzas y los desafíos contemporáneos de los movimientos sociales en América Latina.
Claudia Zapata es profesora del Departamento de Ciencias Históricas y del Centro de Estudios Culturales Latinoamericanos de la Universidad de Chile desde 1999. Sus investigaciones más recientes se han dedicado a los movimientos indígenas contemporáneos y a la História intelectual latinoamericana y caribeña. Dentre sus numerosas publicaciones destacaríamos Frantz Fanon desde América Latina - lecturas contemporáneas de un pensador del siglo XX, de 2013; Intelectuales indígenas en Ecuador, Bolivia y Chile - diferencia, colonialismo y anticolonialismo, de 2013 y Crisis del multiculturalismo en América Latina, de 2019.

Objective: To provide information about brain tumour epidemiology in Pakistan and potential associated risk factors due to family, medical and social characteristics.
Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional nationwide study was designed by the Pakistan Society of Neuro-oncology, to include patients diagnosed with brain tumours in Pakistan retrospectively, from January 1, 2019- December 31, 2019. The study intended to involve data from all age groups for all brain tumour cases, irrespective of histopathology which would determine the national prevalence and incidence of these tumours.
Results: A total of 2750 brain tumour cases were recorded, of which 1897 (69%) were diagnosed in the public sector. MRIs were a more common radiological study compared to CT scans. Gliomas were the most common tumours 778 (28.29%), while pineal tumours were the least common 19 (0.69%). The median age at diagnosis for males was 36 (24-49), while the median age at diagnosis for females was 37 (24-48). Hypertension was the most common co-morbidity in patients diagnosed with a brain tumour, 524 (51.89%), and smoking was the most frequent social behaviour, 355 (62.02%). Findings indicate a low metastasis frequency and few females seeking care.
Conclusion: The PBTES and the PBTC have presented an opportunity and platform for hospitals and health professionals to work together to strengthen cancer care health systems, ensure implementation of treatment guidelines and conduct regular cancer registration.
