Considerations Regarding the Management of Dental Procedures in Patients with Anticoagulant Medication: Case Presentation
Authors: Bucă Adrian , Frățilă Anca , Săceleanu Adriana , Ștef Laura 
Published: January 2022

Abstract
Dentistry is a branch of medicine, with specialized care almost exclusively performed in an outpatient basis, with various dental procedures resulting in bleeding. Due to the increase in the average age of patients, the dentist must pay special attention to the associated pathology, pathology that can lead to uncontrolled bleeding or other complications. The incidence of the number of patients with various anticoagulant medication for associated general diseases has increased. Thus, the approach of these patients must be done in correlation with the management of diseases and associated medication. We found it interesting to report the therapeutic conduct in case of tooth extraction in patients whose medication includes warfarin. The dentist should be aware of possible complications in patients under anticoagulant medication, which requires a judicious case selection, with interdisciplinary collaboration, as well as careful management of surgical procedures to minimize the risks of postoperative bleeding.

Abstract
With the help of dental implants, an oral rehabilitation can be performed not only very complex, but also very complete of various types of edentulous spaces. After insertion of the dental implants, they can be subsequently prosthetically restored through a wide range of implant-supported prosthetic restorations. In this material, we tried to highlight some particular aspects from the point of view of the laboratory stages of dental technique, which intervene in the technological flow of making implant-supported prosthetic restorations from ceramic masses on Zirconia structure.

Published: January 2022

Abstract
Mycoplasma hominis (M.h.) and Ureaplasma urealyticum (U.u.) are members of Mycoplsma, class Moliculites. There are bacteria that are commensal to the vagina, but can cause urogenital infections, pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) premature birth in pregnant women. In men they produce nongonococcal urethritis infections and are also involved in infertility, reducing sperm motility.
Surveillance of antibiotic resistance is necessary in the context in which it is constantly growing. The test was performed on galleries with wells containing antibiotics in two concentrations (except Pristinamycin)
Of the 130 men tested, 15% were positive for the U.u. and 2% for M.H. while out of 169 women 56% were positive for the U.u. and 5% for M.h.
The highest resistance to antibiotics was with Ciprofloxacin (83% U.u. and 11% M.h.). M.h has high resistance to antibiotics in the Macrolides group (92%).

Published: January 2022

Abstract
Urticaria is one of the best-known dermatological diseases and affects between 15% and 25% of the global population. Angioedema, an acute complication of urticaria, affects about 3% of the population.
The retrospective study took into account the patients diagnosed with urticaria in the emergency room of the Măcin City Hospital, and aimed to assess the epidemiological aspects during the 2015-2020 period, and too see how it the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic influenced the incidence of diagnosed urticaria in the emergency room of a local hospital from South-East Romania.
The impact of SARS-CoV-2 pandemic might be observed in the ER activity of city hospitals, where a decreased number of presentations was observed, and, at the same time with an increase in the proportion and absolute number of urticaria cases.

Authors: Sulimov Stanislav I. , Chernigovskikh Igor V. , Cherenkov Roman A. , Chernykh Vladimir D. , Vasiliev Boris V. 
Published: January 2022

AbstractThis work is devoted to examining civilisation's environmental consequences and the military confrontation between civilised and barbaric societies. The authors examine antique and ancient Chinese ideas about the phenomenon of barbarism, and also highlight common cultural features inherent in the Germans and Celts and opposed to Rome, and the Far Eastern nomads who were adjacent to imperial China. Moreover, the authors seek to analyse the substantial effects of civilisation on the environment and ecosystem. Having analysed the military potential of civilised societies, the authors come to the conclusion that the victory of barbarism is possible only in the case of civilisation internal collapse. The article outlines other important aspects, including the relationships between civilisation and war and between civilisation and the environment. It concludes with a discussion about rethinking and restructuring some of our perspectives on civilisation.
Dorothy Wordsworth's Food-Mediated “History of the Personal” in The Grasmere Journal
Authors: Vasiloiu Dorina-Daniela 
Published: January 2022

Abstract
Food practices (preparation and consumption) have long been viewed as mere domestic routines, and thus, often dismissed for being too “frivolous [a] realm” to receive the same scholarly attention as “great topics” such as “politics, economics, justice and power” (Shapiro 2). Emerging during the 1970s, food studies owe their theoretical model to research in fields of enquiry such as anthropology, sociology, structuralism, or women's studies, which have highlighted the aesthetic value of food and its transformative implications for the intermediation of social relations with others. Accordingly, food occasions various socio-cognitive activities that help an individual achieve a sense of attachment and belonging to a community.
Based on the premise that food is instrumental in social relations, as well as in expressing a wide range of values, experiences and emotions, the present analysis gives an insight into the epistemic potential of food to attribute new meanings to Dorothy Wordsworth's Grasmere memoir. Laura Shapiro's non-fictional account, What She Ate: Six Remarkable Women and the Food that Tells their Stories

Laura Shapiro's What She Ate consists of the biographies of six notable female figures from different centuries and continents and highlights the importance of food in making them “recognizable” throughout history (7). Shapiro's collection of these women's personal stories and struggles gives insight into the more subtle meanings of food and its capacity to restore the balance of power between genders. In each story, food shapes the character's mind and body through evocations of endurance, resilience, internalized oppression, political statement or trendsetting dietary habits.
serves as a useful starting point for the present reading of Wordsworth's Grasmere Journal as food narrative that has family relations, daily experiences and emotions constantly mediated through food.
In brief, The Journal represents an intimate record of Dorothy's life, household activities and personal observations of the (natural and social) world surrounding Dove Cottage, which she shared with her famous sibling, Romantic poet, William Wordsworth, between May 1800 and January 1803.
In this sense, I propose a constructivist-relational approach to Dorothy's narrative as interconnected with food, with the primary aim to explore how her numerous food references in the Journal contribute to the construction of her personal narrative and identity. As posited here, The Grasmere Journal offers a glimpse of Dorothy and William Wordsworth's dietary, social and writing routines, but also projects an image of Dorothy in a position of power, a woman ahead of her time, with a progressive stance, which goes beyond the societal expectations with regard to women's domestic role during the Romantic period.
Cooking and Eating as Linguistic Experiences: Metamorphoses in the Japanese Familial Culinary Universe Reflected in the Movie パパのお弁当は世界 一 Papa no Obentō wa Sekai Ichi 一 Dad's Lunch Box
Authors: Alexandrescu Beatrice-Maria 
Published: January 2022

Abstract
The aim of this study is to describe the role of bentōs (Japanese lunch boxes) in contemporary Japanese society and its importance in different types of interpersonal relationships (the father-daughter relationship, friendship and love relationships). We will illustrate the value of this cultural element by analyzing the movie パパのお 弁当は世界一 Papa no Obentō wa Sekai Ichi 一 Dad's Lunch Box (2017) directed by Fukatsu Masakazu (who drew inspiration from a popular post on Tweeter in which a girl's high school graduation day is marked by the fact that she conveys her thanks to her father for having prepared her daily bentōs in the last three years (Shoji)), a movie that reflects various aspects of modern Japan: the changing roles of family members and the changing relationships between them. Moreover, we will focus on how bentō evolves into a means of communication in this movie, and how it contributes to reconfiguring the facets of Japanese masculinities in a society that is no more characterized by its traditional form. We will also depict the characteristics of bentōs and will take into consideration their historical background in order to situate them in the context of the evolution of food-preparing practices.

Published: January 2022

ABSTRACT
Plants will be an important component of off-Earth life support systems for food production and atmosphere recycling. “Veggie” is a small vegetable production unit designed for space flight, with a passive water delivery system. Plants can be grown in Veggie using small bags with a wicking surface containing media and fertilizer, i.e., pillows. Pillows planted with seeds can be placed on the wicking surface of the Veggie reservoir and water will wick throughout the media. Multiple small salad and herb species were grown in Veggie analog conditions using both commercial peat-based media and arcillite. Biometric measurements and microbial loads were assessed. Some species grew better in a particular media, but no general trends were apparent. Lettuce plants grew best in the blends of the peat-based and arcillite media. Microbial counts were lower on plants grown in arcillite. Four media types (peat-based mix, arcillite, and blends of the two) were tested in the rooting pillows; tests included Chinese cabbage, Swiss chard, lettuce, snow pea, and radish. Most species grew best in blends of the commercial mix and arcillite. Edible biomass production varied from 3.5-8 grams dry mass/m2/day with lettuce having the lowest biomass and Chinese cabbage highest. Radish plants showed an increasing percentage of partitioning to edible roots with increasing arcillite in the media. Pillows appear to offer a simple, effective strategy for containing rooting media and avoiding free water while growing plants in the Veggie hardware.
Treatment Possibilities of Muscle Cramps in Patients with Liver Cirrhosis
Authors: Katalin Kenéz Emese , Carmen Croitoriu Andreea Otilia 
Published: January 2022

Abstract
Muscle cramps appearing in liver cirrhosis substantially affect the quality of life of these patients. The prevalence of painful muscle cramps can be up to 88%. The exact mechanism by which these muscle cramps occur is unknown. The management of this symptom is not easy because there is no uniformly accepted recommendation about what kind of supplementation or medicine (or both) can be used exactly. The aim of our study is to review the treatment options for muscle cramps in liver cirrhosis.
We found in the literature (using the keywords „liver cirrhosis", „muscle cramps", „treatment" and „quality of life") 32 articles of this topic. Treatment options currently are: vitamin supplementations (vitamin E, 1 - α hydroxy vitamin D), amino acid supplementations (taurine, branched - chain amino acids, L - carnitine, albumin), mixed herbal medicines (Niuche-Shen-Qui-Wan), zinc and medications (eperisone hydrochloride, quinine and quinidine sulphate, baclofen, methocarbamol, orphenadrine). Vitamin supplementations and amino acid supplementations are targeting the possible pathophysiological causes of muscle cramps (nerve function or energy metabolism alterations which are unique to liver cirrhosis). New aspects started to use medications especially antispasmodic agents (methocarbamol, orphenadrine) and antispasticity agents (baclofen) to relieve muscle cramps. We also found a multicenter study and two systematic reviews (performed in 2013 and 2014). From 2014 there is no systematic article appeared in this topic and we considered it important to survey the new treatment options next to the treatment options already known.
Possible Option for Treatment of Severe Congestive Heart Failure Under Mechanical Ventilation Using Tolvaptan via Nasogastric Tube: A Single-Center Analysis
Authors: Takeda Morihiko , Shiba Nobuyuki 
Published: January 2022

ABSTRACT

Background: The oral vasopressin-2 receptor antagonist tolvaptan causes aquaresis, and its effect on heart failure is proven. However, it is not recommended in patients who are unable to appropriately respond to thirst because of possible severe hypernatremia. Aim: To assess the safety and efficacy of tolvaptan treatment via nasogastric tube in patients who are unable to respond to thirst by fluid ingestion. Methods: We analyzed 70 consecutive patients with severe congestive heart failure (CHF) who were resistant to loop diuretics and treated with tolvaptan. From the 70 patients, 12 required endotracheal intubation under sedation (Group Tube; GT) and 58 did not (Group Oral; GO). We administered tolvaptan orally in GO; however, in GT, we had to administer tolvaptan via nasogastric tube to achieve pulmonary decongestion quickly. In GT, serum sodium level was monitored closely, and intravenous fluid infusion volume was controlled in the intensive care unit (ICU). Outcomes, including safety and efficacy parameters, were evaluated. Results: In both groups, tolvaptan treatment did not develop a significant rise in serum sodium level compared with baseline, and the incidence of worsening renal failure was comparable, despite greater net fluid loss and higher doses of loop diuretics used in patients of GT compared to GO. In GT, all patients achieved pulmonary decongestion and were weaned from mechanical ventilation. Conclusions: In sedated patients with severe CHF who are unable to respond to thirst by fluid ingestion, tolvaptan can be used without clinically significant hypernatremia under close monitoring in the ICU.
Predictive Value of Hematological Parameters in Non-ST Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction and Their Relationship with the TIMI Risk Score
Authors: Karaoğlu Ulaş , Bulut Mehtap , Omar Timor 
Published: January 2022

ABSTRACT

Background: Hematological parameters, such as white blood cell count (WBC), mean platelet volume (MPV), neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and WBC to MPV ratio (WMR), could provide data in prognosis, risk stratification, and optimal management in patients with acute coronary syndromes. Aim: We aimed to investigate the prognostic value of hematological parameters and their relationship with the TIMI risk score in non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) patients. Material and Methods: A total of 259 adult patients with NSTEMI were included in this retrospective and observational cohort study. During a 1-year follow-up period, the efficacy of the main hematological parameters in predicting major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and their correlation with the TIMI risk score was analyzed. Results: Among the 259 patients, 188 (72.6%) were male, and the mean age was 60.4 ± 11.9 years. MACE was observed in 60 patients (23.2%). Elevated baseline levels of WBC, neutrophils, NLR, PLR, and WMR were associated with MACE development throughout the 1-year follow-up. Moreover, WBC, WMR, and NLR were correlated with the TIMI risk score. When the predictive power of these parameters for MACE was evaluated by ROC analysis, the AUC values for WBC, WMR, and NLR were 0.670 (95% CI 0.590–0.750), 0.666 (95% CI 0.582–0.746), and 0.689 (95% CI 0.610–0.767), respectively. Conclusion: WBC, NLR, and WMR predicted MACE in NSTEMI patients and were consistent with the TIMI risk score. On this basis, they could provide supportive data for early risk stratification and optimized therapeutic approach, particularly in high-risk patients.

Abstract
Companies are facing numerous pressures and challenges in order to be competitive in the market and meet the requirements of their customers which require an improvement in the supply chain practices of the firms to be more effective and efficient for sustainable competitive advantage. This study examines the use of a multi-criteria decision making method using analytic network process (ANP) to estimate the how supply chain activities of the selected manufacturing firms’ influences its firm performance in other to enhance the satisfaction of customers. The population of the study is the manufacturing firms quoted in the Nigeria stock exchange. An ANP-based questionnaire was administered to Managers of selected manufacturing firms for pairwise comparison of supply chain factors relative influences and dependencies on their customers. A nonlinear network model was built to capture all the factors of supply chain practices and firms performance into clusters, nodes and dependences for the purpose of estimating various influences supply chain practices on the performance of the various companies studied.. Data collected were analysed using software of Super decision 3.0version. The results revealed factors of supply chain practices that have a great connection with one another and strong relationship indicating that without the implementing the key factors of supply chain there would not be a significant improvement in the performance of the organisation which will also affects the desire of the customers. The ANP model has helped to show the interdependencies and feedback among the various factors of practices of supply chain to augment the level of performance of the firms.

Published: January 2022

Abstract
Air pollution in museums, libraries, churches, and other indoor environments of cultural heritage objects was studied since 1980s. For classification of corrosivity for such type of indoor environments the ISO 11844 series was developed in 2006. In 2020 the revision of this ISO 11844 series had been finished, where lead was included as standard specimen with high sensitivity to vapour organic acids. This paper gives results of exposure of lead standard coupons in museums and other similar indoor environments together with measurement of climatic parameters and air pollution to verify the new approach.

Abstract
The impact of the problems of destitution and prostitution on the moral fabric of society cannot be overemphasized and thus calls for the attention of the relevant stakeholders (the government, civil society, and professionals) in restoring moral values and decency to our societies. This study is centered on the psychological, social, and economic impact that the activities of the destitute and prostitutes have both on the individual and the society at large. The study found that many individuals resort to begging on the streets because they are either physically challenged, lack basic necessities for decent living, have many dependents, or are the breadwinners of their families while at the same time receive little or no support from family and friends. While the above was the case for the destitute, others engaged in prostitution due to peer pressure, financial pressure from family and friends, greed, and marital issues, etc. It was also found that the problems of destitution and prostitution tend to be more prevalent in urban areas due to the increasing levels of economic activities in the cities, which therefore leads to more patronage. To avert the negative effects of the problems of destitution and prostitution in society and to completely wean those involved away from it, the study recommends the coordination of efforts by the government, psychologists, and social workers to help train and equip the victims with the skills necessary to assist them in forgoing their old lifestyle completely.
