This case describes the prosthetic treatment of a completely edentulous patient treated with the "Toronto Bridge" technique, an implant-supported (all-on-four/all-on-five) hybrid prosthesis.
A 42-year-old male patient applied to our clinic for aesthetic and functional problems. After clinical and radiographic examination, the all-on-five treatment concept for the edentulous maxilla and an all-on-four treatment concept for the edentulous mandible were planned. In the maxilla, two distal implants were placed at 30-45° angles, and three straight implants were placed in the anterior region. In the mandible, two distal implants were positioned at the anterior to mental foramina at an angle of 30-45°and two straight implants were placed in the anterior region. The digital impressions were taken, and the infrastructures and veneers were designed according to the "Toronto Bridge" protocol. The infrastructures and veneers were fabricated by milling zirconium blocks and cemented. The occlusion was rechecked for any interferences.
This case report showed successful results for the all-on-four/five treatment concept "Toronto Bridge" prostheses at a six-month follow-up, and no complications were observed. This case report suggests that the implant-supported prosthetic treatment of a completely edentulous patient treated with the "Toronto Bridge" treatment technique provides esthetics, phonetics, oral hygiene, and oral comfort, which may be an alternative to an acrylic resin or porcelain fused metal fixed restorations.

Published: August 2023

Objective: Fluorescence marking is a cost-effective method to evaluate the completeness of cleaning in clinical surfaces. The aim of this study is to evaluate the potential sources of infection by surveillance of frequently contacted surfaces in the clinic and patient waiting areas in dental practice by fluorescent marker.
Materials and methods: The surfaces that are frequently contacted by patients, clinicians, and the staff in the clinic, local intervention room, and patient waiting room were determined. Fluorescent marker dye was applied onto frequently contacted surfaces. Following cleaning after the patient's discharge, the dye-applied surfaces were examined with a fluorescent lamp.
Results: The surfaces in the patient waiting area were observed to have the highest scores in terms of the frequency of the touches. According to the fluorescent marker method, 50 % of the frequently contacted surfaces were scored as totally clean, 17 % were partially clean, and 33 % were not clean.
Conclusion: This study suggests that the fluorescent marker method is an easy and practical method that can be used for the surveillance of surface cleaning in dental settings. More careful and strict hygiene regimens are required not to overlook any potential source of infection, such as the patient waiting area, and eliminate the potential routes of the spread of infection.

Authors: Terle Preston M. , Osakwe Ifeoma C. , Ierulli Victoria K. , Mulcahey Mary K. 
Published: August 2023

Background:
The Association of American Medical Colleges and the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons have incorporated diversity and inclusion as one of their primary goals. Orthopaedic surgery remains the least diverse medical specialty when measured for practicing physicians and trainees. The purpose of this study was to determine the number and distinct types of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) positions within orthopaedic surgery residency programs in the United States.

Methods:
The Fellowship and Residency Electronic Interactive Database was used to obtain a list of all Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education–accredited orthopaedic surgery residency programs. The following was collected from 193 residency program websites between June 6, 2022, and June 26, 2022: program location, university or community based, allopathic or osteopathic recognition, number of faculty in the orthopaedic department, number of residents per year, diversity-related statements, and diversity-focused faculty positions.

Results:
Of the 193 programs evaluated, 74 (38.9%) included DEI statements on their website while only 42 (21.8%) had at least one DEI-specific faculty role (e.g., diversity committee, diversity liaison, vice chair for DEI). For 16 (8.3%) programs, the faculty role was nonspecific to the orthopaedic residency program. Nonspecific roles were primarily created by the affiliated school of medicine, but in 4 (2.1%) outlier cases, faculty members assumed DEI roles through a medical center, a graduate medical education program, or a department of surgery.

Conclusions:
Less than half of orthopaedic surgery residency programs currently advocate for DEI on their associated websites while fewer than 25% have a DEI faculty position. Previous studies have called for a greater number of DEI positions and committees among orthopaedic residencies because of the lower admittance rate of qualified Under Represented in Medicine (URiM) applicants. A role dedicated to DEI may increase the number of women and URiM applicants pursuing a career in orthopaedic surgery.

High-Precision Single-Leak Detection and Localization in Single-Phase Liquid Pipelines Using the Negative Pressure Wave Technique: An Application in a Real-Field Case Study
Authors: Fathi E. , Adenan M. F. , Moryan N. , Belyadi F. , Belyadi H. 
Published: August 2023

Summary
This paper presents a novel workflow for high-precision leak detection in pipeline networks using the negative pressure wave (NPW) technique. The proposed workflow addresses challenges associated with noisy and convoluted pressure transducer data, rapid pressure decay, and the need for robustness in leak event detection. To overcome these challenges, the workflow incorporates data preprocessing techniques for cleansing, normalization, and denoising, as well as dynamic pressure control limit lines to differentiate between pump and leak events. Multiple transducer analysis techniques are used to minimize false positives. Synthetic leak scenarios are generated using the Water Network Tool for Resilience (WNTR) package, enabling a comprehensive assessment of the workflow’s performance. The generated scenarios are validated through pressure history matching against field inline pressure recordings. A dashboard is developed for real-time visualization and verification of leak events.
The effectiveness of the workflow is demonstrated through testing on a real network, resulting in the successful detection and precise localization of a confirmed leak event. The workflow proves its capability to achieve high accuracy, with a 100-m resolution in a complex network configuration with 29 pipe sections and 1-Hz pressure signal recordings. For synthetic leak events, a 10-Hz pressure signal is utilized, achieving a remarkable 10-m accuracy. Moreover, the integration of the workflow with supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems is showcased, highlighting its potential for near real-time leak detection in practical applications. Overall, this paper presents a comprehensive and effective workflow for high-precision leak detection and localization in pipeline networks, offering valuable insights into improving the efficiency and reliability of leak detection systems.
Progress towards universal health coverage in the context of mental disorders in India: Evidence from National Sample Survey Data
Authors: Ranjan Alok , Crasta Jewel 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Background:Universal health coverage (UHC) has emerged as one of the important health policy discourses under the current sustainable development goals in the world. UHC in individual disease conditions is a must for attaining overall UHC. This study measures progress towards UHC in terms of access to health care and financial protection among individuals with mental disorders in India.
Methods:Data from the 75th Round National Sample Survey (NSS), 2017-18, was used, which is the latest round on health in India. Data collected from 555,115 individuals (rural: 325,232; urban: 229,232), from randomly selected 8077 villages and 6181 urban areas, included 283 outpatient and 374 hospitalization cases due to mental disorders in India. Logistic regression models were used for analyses.
Results:Self-reporting of mental disorders was considerably lower than the actual disease burden in India. However, self-reporting of ailment was 1.73 times higher (95% CI: 1.18-2.52, p<0.05) among the richest income group population compared to the poorest in India. The private sector was a major service provider of mental health services with a larger share for outpatient (66.1%) than inpatient care (59.2%). Over 63% of individuals with a mental disorder who reported private sector hospitalization noted unavailability or poor service quality at public facilities. Only 23% of individuals hospitalized had health insurance coverage at All India level. However, health insurance coverage among the poorest economic class was a meagre 3.4%. Average out-of-pocket expenditure during hospitalization (public: 123 USD; private: 576 USD)and outpatient care (public: 8 USD; private: 37 USD) was significantly higher in the private sector than in the public sector. Chances of facing catastrophic health expenditure at 10% threshold were 23.33 times (95% CI: 10.85-50.17; p<0.001) higher under private sector than public sector during hospitalization. Expenditure on medicine, as the share of total medical expenditure, was highest for hospitalization (public: 45%, private:39.5%) and outpatient care (public: 74.1%, private:39.7%).
Conclusions: Social determinants play a vital role in access to healthcare and financial protection among individuals with mental disorders in India. For achieving UHC in mental disorders, India needs to address the gaps in access and financial protection for individuals with mental disorders.

Effects of Genetic Relatedness of Kin Pairs on Univariate ACE Model Performance
Authors: Lyu Xuanyu , Garrison S. Mason 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
The current study explored the impact of genetic relatedness differences (ΔH) and sample size on the performance of non-classical ACE models, with a focus on same-sex and opposite-sex twin groups. By extending Visscher (2004)’s least squares paradigm and conducting simulations, we illustrated how genetic relatedness of same-sex twins (HSS) influences the statistical power of additive genetic estimates (A), AIC-based model performance and the frequency of negative estimates. We found that larger HSS and increased sample sizes were positively associated with increased power to detect additive genetic components and improved model performance, and reduction of negative estimates. We also found that the common solution of fixing the common environment correlation for sex-limited effects to .95 caused slightly worse model performance under most circumstances. Further, negative estimates were shown to be possible and were not always indicative of a failed model, but rather, they sometimes pointed to low power or model misspecification. Researchers using kin pairs with ΔH less than .5 should carefully consider performance implications and conduct comprehensive power analyses. Our findings provide valuable insights and practical guidelines for those working with non-twin kin pairs or situations where zygosity is unavailable, as well as areas for future research.

Abstract
Potato ranks 1st among non-cereal crops and grows around the globe. It has a lot of nutritious values like carbohydrates, minerals, calcium, and antioxidants that are necessary for the human diet. As the population grows quickly, it is imperative to breed the crop and create high-yielding varieties that meet the demand. Numerous loci, environmental factors, and their interactions all have an impact on the phenotypic diversity of numerous significant traits in plants. One approach put forth in recent years for genetic research and finding quantitative trait loci (QTLs) responsible for the specific trait is association mapping. The purpose of the study was to pinpoint the genetic underpins of significant underground traits. A panel of 192 diverse tetraploid potato genotypes from different countries were grown under different growing conditions (i.e., aeroponics and pot) to study root, stolon and tuber traits. Significant differences (P ≤ 0.01) were found between the genotypes for all examined traits, and the heritability of the traits ranged from (H2 = 0.74 to 0.94). Genotyping was carried out using the SolCAP 25K array. A GWASpoly R package was implemented for the marker-trait association, and 78 genomic regions were associated with the traits being investigated The identified SNPs have their putative gene functions of root and stolon architecture and tubers growth (i.e., WRKY transcription factor, MAPK, the GTP cyclohydrolase 1 (i.e., GTPCHI), Glutathionyl-hydroquinone reductase, and pyrophosphate—fructose 6-phosphate 1-phosphotransferase subunit alpha (PFPase). The history of potato breeding was reflected in LD patterns. The results of this study provide a framework that could be helpful for future potato breeding programs to increase production and reduce the challenges of feeding the world's population in the years to come.

Abstract
Euscaphis konishii and Euscaphis japonica are shrubs or small trees belonging to the Staphyleaceae family, and are excellent ornamental fruit plants with high ornamental and medicinal value. There are few studies on the cold tolerance of E. konishii and E. japonica, and their metabolic response to cold is not clear. Here, the non-targeted metabolomics (GC‒MS) technique was used to elucidate the response of E. konishii and E. japonica to cold at the metabolic level. Under cold treatment, E. konishii exhibited 10 upregulated and 1 downregulated differentially expressed metabolites (DEMs), whereas 10 upregulated 7 downregulated DEMs were identified in E. japonica. The contents of key metabolites, such as sugars including raffinose and glucose-6-phosphate, amino acids including lysine and methionine 2, unsaturated fatty acids including linoleic acid, and flavonoid compounds including neohesperidin were increased in E. konishii in response to cold. The contents of key metabolites such as sugars including raffinose, trehalose, and fructose-6-phosphate, amino acids including aspartic acid 1 and aspartic acid 2, and organic acids including pyruvate and taurine were increased, and sugars of sedoheptulose, organic acids of α-ketoglutaric acid, flavonoid compounds of hesperidin were decreased in E. japonica in response to cold. DEMs in E. konishii were significantly enriched in “linoleic acid metabolism”, while the DEMs in E. japonica were significantly enriched in “monobactam biosynthesis”, “cysteine and methionine metabolism”, “taurine and hypotaurine metabolism”, “sulfur metabolism” and “ABC transporters”. This research expounds the metabolic differences of E. konishii and E. japonica in response to cold, and provides a foundation for improving their resistance to cold stress.
Effects of food properties and aging on external auditory canal movements associated with mastication
Authors: Yamano Takafumi , Nishi Kensuke , Omori Fumitaka , Kajii Takashi 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Few objective evaluations of external auditory canal movement during mastication have been conducted. This study investigated the extent to which age and physical properties influence such movement. The effects of food properties and aging on ear canal movement during mastication were investigated using an earable reliable chewing-count measurement device. We used such a device to study the effects of food properties and aging on ear canal movement associated with mastication. The ear canal moved more when younger (compared to older) subjects chewed hard rather than soft food. In general, the ear canal tended to move more in younger than in older subjects, but the difference was not significant. We suggest that external auditory canal movement during mastication decreases as muscle function declines with aging, but any effect may be less than that exerted by food properties.
