Oral fluids provide a readily available and non-invasive medium for the diagnosis of a wide range of diseases and clinical situations. Diabetes mellitus is a common chronic metabolic disorder that affects millions of people. Our objective was to compare the salivary and serum glucose levels in patients with diabetes mellitus and healthy individuals. Two ml of unstimulated whole saliva was collected by the spitting method. Also, 2 ml of the patient’s intravenous blood was obtained from the forearm’s median cephalic vein. Both the samples were centrifuged at 2000 rpm for 2-3 minutes. Ten μl of both saliva and serum were taken out and added to glucose reagent. These were kept in a temperature-controlled water bath at 37°C for 10 minutes. The color change was noted, and the optical density was measured in a semi-auto analyzer.The presence of glucose was detected in both groups; however, the levels were raised in people with diabetes compared to healthy individuals. The present study indicated a substantial increase in salivary and serum glucose levels in diabetic patients compared to healthy controls. The concentration of glucose in saliva increases with the increase in serum glucose concentration.

Metabolic syndrome is one of the actual problems of modern medicine because of its high prevalence in the general population and its essential role in the development and progression of cardiovascular diseases.
In the last decade, studying the relationship between metabolic syndrome and periodontal diseases has attracted many scientists’ attention. Based on this, the study of the clinical features of periodontal diseases in the early stages of metabolic syndrome is relevant and necessary for timely and successful pathogenetic therapy.
The purpose of our study was to investigate and analyze the prevalence and intensity of periodontal disease in people with metabolic syndrome. To solve this goal, we surveyed 190 people with metabolic syndrome who were registered at the endocrinological clinic in Chernivtsi. They formed the main observation group. The comparison observation group included 90 people without metabolic disorders. The age of the patients ranged from 25 to 55 years. Periodontal disease was detected in 155 of 190 patients with metabolic syndrome (81.58 ± 2.82%). In 90 patients without endocrinological pathology, the prevalence of periodontal disease was 1.2 times lower (65.56 ± 5.04%; p <0.01). Generalized periodontitis prevailed in the structure of periodontal diseases in patients with metabolic syndrome: 26.45±3.56% cases were in the second stage of generalized periodontitis (GP), and 21.94±3.33% in the third stage of GP, р<0.01. Therefore, the metabolic syndrome, as a state with a high risk of diabetes development, creates conditions for the formation and rapid progression of inflammatory-destructive periodontal lesions.

The increase in the number of clinical cases with varying levels of damage to dental structures among young adults due to caries and excessive consumption of sweets and acidic beverages leads to questions about why there is an increase of cases despite all means of information. Is there a lack of interest in oral health among young adults? The aim of this study was to evaluate the knowledge and skills level of the students regarding oral health in order to conceive and implement an oral health educational program adapted to their needs and interests.
The survey method using a questionnaire was administered to students in the first, second, and third academic year at the “Ferdinand I” Military Technical Academy (Bucharest, Romania) in March 2019 and included general data and specific information about oral health. We noted a relatively high participation in this study (73.91% agreed), although 71% have not participated in campaigns and training programs about oral health. The participants showed a high degree of interest in dental aesthetics, although 59% consider dental caries to be the main problem affecting their oral-dental health. It is imperative to introduce an educational module regarding oral health for military students, and not only, in order to materialize knowledge by adopting healthy attitudes and behaviors, avoiding high financial and biological costs for both the patient and the healthcare system.

The importance of kidney damage in obese patients is due to the increasing incidence of nephropathies associated with metabolic disorders, their predisposition to a progressive course of the disease, and the need to optimize early disease detection.
The purpose of our work is to study the level of cystatin C, ghrelin, and their interrelation in patients with early stages (I-II) of chronic kidney disease (CKD) against the background of obesity.
The indicators of daily microalbuminuria in patients of both groups were studied, and it was found that in patients with stage 2 CKD with obesity, it was 1.2 times higher than in patients with stage 1 CKD with obesity. Patients of the second group revealed a direct middle correlation between daily albuminuria and body mass index (BMI), which indicates deterioration in the functional state of the kidneys against the background of obesity.
We obtained an increase in the serum concentration of cystatin C in stage 2 CKD with obesity, reflecting the state of glomerular filtration and the degree of renal function decrease. Correlation analysis showed a positive relation of cystatin C with increased urinary albumin excretion in both groups, plasma creatinine content, BMI, and age.
Simultaneously with the increase in the level of cystatin C and the decrease in the glomerular filtration rate, there was an increase in ghrelin levels in stage 2 CKD and the progression of obesity, while such dependence was not seen in stage 1 CKD.

Published: November 2022

Background:
Chronic subdural hematomas (cSDHs) are frequent and potentially life-threatening neurosurgical conditions affecting, first of all, elderly. Few treatment options are available ranging from observation to removal thought large craniotomy. However, currently, there is tendency to minimize surgical aggression, especially considering poor general condition of elderly patients. Thus, one of gaining popularity method of neurointerventional treatment of cSDHs is medial meningeal artery (MMA) embolization. To date, large series of cases published describing favorable outcomes of this treatment approach. At the same time, few reports are available that describe microstructural changes in cSDH’s capsule after embolization; meanwhile, no exact effect of embolization on pathophysiology of hematoma was determined.

Case Description:
Through current paper, we present two cases of cSDH that has previously undergone embolization of MMA, after which cSDHs have been operated through minicraniotomy due to complications after artery embolization. Microstructural changes of hematoma’s capsule are described and discussed.

Conclusion:
Histological changes in embolized capsule suggest embolization of MMA as a valuable method for treatment of cSDHs.

Published: November 2022

Background:
In the WHO 2016 classification of central nervous system tumors, solitary fibrous tumors (SFT) and hemangiopericytomas (HPC) were considered part of the same category given a shared mutation. Nevertheless, since the new 2021 WHO classification, the term “hemangiopericytoma” has been retired, and SFT is considered an independent pathological entity.

Methods:
We reviewed the literature following preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses guidelines focusing on the treatment options and prognosis of patients with cervical SFT. We also present a 68-year-old female with spinal intradural extramedullary SFT complicated by diffuse extension into paravertebral tissues and muscles.

Results:
We found 38 cervical SFT in the literature. Patients averaged 47.3 years of age and 47.4% were female. Typically, these lesions spanned two spinal levels resulting in cord compression and most frequently exhibited benign features (i.e., diagnosed as Grade I SFTs). Interestingly, two patients exhibited distant metastases and had initial pathology consistent with grade II SFT.

Conclusion:
SFT of the cervical spine is rare and its management varies according to the histological grade and the clinical behavior, generally warranting surgical excision and adjuvant radiation therapy and/or systemic chemotherapy.

Authors: Aguilar Oscar Josue Montes , Sida Karmen Karina Alaniz , Betancourt Leonardo Álvarez , Olvera Manuel Dufoo , Bernaldez Guillermo Ivan Ladewig , López Ramón López , Oropeza Edith Oropeza , Ornelas Héctor Alonso Tirado 
Published: November 2022

Background:
Surgical wound complications represent an important risk factor, particularly in multilevel lumbar fusions. However, the literature regarding optimal wound closure techniques for these procedures is limited.

Methods:
We performed an online survey of 61 spinal surgeons from 11 countries, involving 25 different hospitals. The study included 26 neurosurgeons, 21 orthopedists, and 14 residents (Neurosurgery – 6 and orthopedics 8). The survey contained 17 questions on demographic information, closure techniques, and the use of drainage in posterior lumbar fusion surgery. We then developed a “consensus technique.”

Results:
The proposed standardized closure techniques included: (1) using subfascial gravity drainage (i.e., without suction) with drain removal for <50 ml/day or a maximum duration of 48 h, (2) paraspinal muscle, fascia, and supraspinous ligament closure using interrupted-X stitches 0 or 1 Vicryl or other longer-lasting resorbable suture (i.e., polydioxanone suture), (3) closure of subcutaneous tissue with interrupted inverted Vicryl 2-0 sutures in two planes for subcutaneous tissue greater >25 mm in depth, and (4) skin closure with simple interrupted nylon 3-0 sutures.

Conclusion:
There is great variability between closure techniques utilized for multilevel posterior lumbar fusion surgery. Here, we have described various standardized/evidence-based proven techniques for the closure of these wounds.

Authors: Shahab Fawwaz Bin , Khan Saad Akhtar 
Published: November 2022

Background:
Schwannomas are benign but clinically progressive tumors. Mostly, they present as intradural extramedullary lesions. They are quite rare in the intramedullary (IM) region. We report a case of IM schwannoma.

Case Description:
A 52-year-old gentleman presented with a history of gait instability and numbness in bilateral lower limbs. He had clinical signs of myelopathy. His magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) dorsal spine was done that showed an intradural IM lesion at the level of D11, with one differential of ependymoma. Near total resection of lesion was done and histopathology reported it schwannoma.

Conclusion:
Preoperative radiologic assessment for IM spinal lesions is difficult and high degree of suspicion should be present when approaching a patient with somatic pain and IM lesion on MRI, keeping in mind one differential of IM schwannoma.

Challenges of the church in facing religious pluralism and its impact on church growth in Indonesia
Authors: Witoro Johanes 
Published: November 2022

This paper aims to examine the church's challenges in dealing with religious pluralism in Indonesia and its impact on church growth. This article takes a qualitative method with an emphasis on historical-grammatical interpretation. The following data collection approaches were employed in this study: To begin, interpret the biblical text grammatically-historically. Following that, perform a comparative analysis of the primary contemporary views of the unknown God (Acts 17:23). Finally, conduct a critical study in order to develop a historical reconstruction that takes into account ancient writing techniques. The purpose of this article is to classify, explore, and extract texts from the historical city of Athens, as well as to produce texts using hermeneutic principles. This research will examine various interpretations of each source in order to develop conclusions about the research conducted and its theological implications. Acts 17:23-25 is the focus of this study. The findings of this study reveal that while the Bible preaches religious tolerance, this study demonstrates that the Church must naturally expand in accordance with God's purposes and the Word, which compels the Church to accommodate religious tolerance. The conclusion is that the church must continue to exist in order to fulfill the Lord Jesus' commandment to bring the gospel to all people (Matt. Acts 1:8), as Paul did in Athens.
