Published: July 2022

Background/Aim:The aim of this study was to investigate the factors contribute to the joint effusion in the patients with internal derangement on temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder.Methods:We reviewed the 83 TMJs that were diagnosed as internal derangement (anterior disc displacement with or without reduction) by magnetic resonance imaging. Joint effusion was diagnosed using T2-weighted images. The differences in the presence of joint effusion according to the gender, age, diagnosis, and TMJ pain were analyzed using cross-tabulation or Mann–Whitney test. The relationship between joint effusion and gender, age, diagnosis, and TMJ pain was analyzed by logistic multivariate regression analysis.Results:The presence of joint effusion was larger on anterior disc displacement without reduction (χ2[1] = 7.47,P= 0.006) and the TMJ with pain (χ2[1] = 7.50,P= 0.006). The results of logistic multivariate regression analyses indicated that the diagnosis of anterior disc displacement without reduction was signiﬁcant in TMJ with joint effusion (odds ratio = 3.299,P= 0.036) and the TMJ with pain was also signiﬁcant in TMJ with joint effusion (odds ratio = 4.413,P= 0.007). The gender and age showed no relationships with joint effusion.Conclusions:The results of this study made it clear that joint effusion was easier to occur in the TMJ of anterior disc displacement without reduction and in the TMJ with pain. Anterior disc displacement without reduction and TMJ pain would be related to the higher risk of joint effusion.

Published: July 2022

Background:
In recent years, an artificial intelligence (AI) software “DentalSCOPE” for alveolar bone density based on image density of intraoral radiography was developed.

Aims:
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the alveolar bone density of osteoporosis patients with antiresorptive medications administration before tooth extraction using DentalSCOPE.

Materials and Methods:
Five osteoporosis patients with antiresorptive medications administration before tooth extraction were analyzed using a computer program “DentalSCOPE” for alveolar bone density based on image density of intraoral radiography. The alveolar bone density around extraction tooth was compared to lytic and sclerotic bone reaction with the opposite side as normal region. Statistical analyses of alveolar bone density were performed with Wilcoxon rank-sum test. P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.

Results:
The alveolar bone density of the opposite side as normal region (972.9 ± 74.3 mg/cm2) was significantly higher than those of lytic bone reaction (633.9 ± 114.2 mg/cm2, P = 0.043) and lower than those of sclerotic bone reaction (1144.0 ± 99.4 mg/cm2, P = 0.043).

Conclusions:
This study evaluated the alveolar bone density of osteoporosis patients with antiresorptive medications administration before tooth extraction using DentalSCOPE and indicated that the computer program could be useful for the evaluation of osteoporosis patients.

Authors: Gupta Veenu , Sharma Sarit , Chaudhary Ashwani , Chaudhary Jyoti , Gautam P. L. 
Published: July 2022

Background:
Surveillance of health-care-associated infections (HAIs) plays a key role in the hospital infection control programme and reduction of HAIs. Device-associated infections (DAIs) are an important cause of excessive stay and mortality. The prevalence of HAIs is underreported from developing nations due to a lack of systematic surveillance.

Aims and Objectives:
The aim of the study was to know the rate and microbiological profile of DAIs.

Materials and Methods:
This surveillance study was conducted over a period of 2 years. Patients with indwelling devices were included. The data were collected and analysed by infection control team and labelled DAIs as per the CDC guidelines. The rates of HAIs and the profile of pathogens isolated were analysed.

Results:
A total of 294 patients developed DAIs, of which 181 were male and 113 were female. A total of 239 device-associated infections were reported in 2019 and 55 in 2020 and overall rate of DAIs was 1.81 and 0.58/1000 device days, respectively. Among DAIs, 50 were ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP), 71 central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI) and 173 catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) cases. Overall, the rate was 2.02,1.21,1.21/1000 device days for VAP, CLABSI and CAUTI, respectively. In DAI's, majority were males and maximum cases developed after 6–10 days, 15 days and 11–15 days of device use in VAP/CAUTI and CLABSI, respectively. Gram-negative isolates (85.1%) were predominant, and among these, most common were Klebsiella spp, Acinetobacter spp and Escherichia coli. A high rate of multidrug resistance was observed.

Conclusions:
The present surveillance shows high resistance pattern of Gram-negative organisms causing DAIs. To reduce the risk of infection in hospitalised patients, DA-HAI surveillance is of primary importance as it helps in implementing preventive measures.

Published: July 2022

Aim and Objective of the Study:
The aim and objective of this study were to do a prospective study on patients with Elizabethkingia meningoseptica infection at AIG Hospitals and to identify the possible source of E. meningoseptica in our hospital.

Materials and Methods:
Outbreak of infection with E. meningoseptica was identified in intensive care units (ICUs) in February 2021. A prospective study was taken up and environmental surveillance swab cultures were collected along with clinical data from case sheets using a pro forma to identify the possible risk factors associated with E. meningoseptica infection. Interventional strategies were planned by infection control team along with hospital administration.

Results:
A total of 10 E. meningoseptica bacteraemia and pneumonia cases were documented between March 2021 and May 2021. It was more common among patients with COVID-19, with prolonged ICU stay, and on multiple antibiotics and was associated with poor outcomes. Surveillance swab cultures collected from various sources showed growth of E. meningoseptica in the tap water of some ICUs.

Conclusion:
Considering that E. meningoseptica are usually resistant to multiple antibiotics and that inappropriate antimicrobial therapy is an independent risk factor for mortality, early diagnosis and adequate antibiotic treatment are vital for patients with E. meningoseptica infection.

Published: July 2022

Background:
In recent times, the prevalence of quackery in oral and maxillofacial practice has become rampant with complications, one of which is odontogenic infections. This study was aimed to identify how common quackery is among our patients with odontogenic infections and the outcome of the patients.

Materials and Methods:
The study was a descriptive cross-sectional study of all patients presenting with odontogenic infections seen at the accident and emergency unit and the oral and maxillofacial surgery clinics of a tertiary hospital in North Central Nigeria from January 2017 to December 2021. Information obtained included sociodemographic characteristics, presenting complaints, duration of illness, prehospital care, diagnosis, duration of hospital stay, where the patient was first managed, what is the “doctor/dentist” status, and outcome.

Results:
A total of 237 patients were recruited with a male to female ratio of 1:1.3. The commonest presenting complaints were toothache and jaw swelling with patients been ill for up to 2 weeks before presenting. About 41.8% of the patients have a co-existing health condition, and 46.4% of the patients had tooth extraction by a quack, with 82.7% taking antibiotics prescribed by a chemist before presentation. About 11.0% of the patients died; 96.2% of those that died had their tooth extracted by quacks. Patients with preexisting health conditions and preadmission tooth extraction were more likely to die with odds ratio (OR) = 2.230; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.06–4.71 and OR = 28.9; 95% CI = 3.97–209.6, respectively.

Conclusion:
Quackery is very common in our society. The odds of death are increased in patients with odontogenic infection if the patient has a preexisting health condition and even more significant if they had their tooth extracted by quacks.

Background:
Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is an important cause of childhood blindness worldwide. This blindness is avoidable through regular screening of preterm infants and prompt intervention for those with the condition.

Aims/Objectives:
This study aimed to determine the pattern of presentation of ROP and the risk factors for its development among preterm infants in the Neonatal Unit of the University of Calabar Teaching Hospital, Calabar, Nigeria.

Design of Study:
This study is a prospective, longitudinal study.

Settings:
The study was carried out in the Special Care Baby Unit, Sick Baby Unit, and Neonatal Clinic of the Department of Paediatrics and Child Health, University of Calabar Teaching Hospital, Calabar, Nigeria.

Materials and Methods:
All preterm infants whose mothers had given informed consent to participate were enrolled. Ocular examination was performed by a trained ophthalmologist. ROP was staged and documented using the revised version of the International Classification of ROP. Data were entered into a questionnaire and analysed using IBM SPSS version 22.

Results:
Of the 53 neonates recruited into the study, ROP was detected in 11 (21%) neonates, of which 9 (82%) had stage 1 disease, 2 (18%) had stage 2, and none had stage 3. ROP was more common in females, 7 (63.6%), than their male counterparts 4 (36.4%). ROP was higher among those with gestational age (GA) ≤30 weeks [9 (81.8%)] when compared with those with GA >30 weeks [2 (18.2%)] (P = 0.016). Other risk factors for ROP assessed by this study were found not to be significantly associated with the occurrence of ROP.

Conclusion:
ROP was present in 21% of the neonates, and the majority had stage 1 disease. This finding emphasizes the need for screening of all preterm neonates for ROP in order to forestall avoidable blindness which could result from this condition.

Authors: Priya S. , Abhilash P. V. , Sivasankaran M. Gopika 
Published: July 2022

CONTEXT:
Migraine is a primary episodic headache disorder, characterized by combinations of neurological, gastrointestinal, and autonomic changes in the body. Migraine patients are more likely to self-report neck pain, to have more cervical trigger points and tenderness over cervical muscles. Neck flexor and extensor muscles have shown decreased strength in migraine patients.

AIMS:
To determine the effectiveness of neck flexors and extensors muscles strengthening exercises on pain and function in migraine patients.

SETTING AND DESIGN:
A case–control study was conducted among 14 individuals of ages 20–30 years with Migraine in a Tertiary Care Hospital, India.

SUBJECTS AND METHODS:
Fourteen migraine patients were selected for the study and neck flexor and extensor strengthening exercises were administered for 4 weeks. The pain, cervical range of motion, and disability were measured using visual analog scale (VAS), universal goniometer, migraine disability assessment score (MIDAS) before and after the intervention.

STATISTICAL ANALYSIS USED:

Authors: Marikkar Shanaz F. , Fernando Desha Rajni , Deepani Siriwardana H. V. Yamuna 
Published: July 2022

BACKGROUND:
Abnormal foot posture has been extensively discussed as a risk factor for chronic low back pain (CLBP). The present study aimed at assessing the association of foot arch types with CLBP in a selected population.

METHODOLOGY:
A descriptive study was conducted at the Department of Rheumatology and Rehabilitation Clinic of National Hospital of Sri Lanka with employing a 100 of patients diagnosed with CLBP (50 cases and 50 controls). The data were collected during December 1, 2019, and February 28, 2020. Foot arch type was detected using the arch index method. The modified Oswestry low back pain disability questionnaire was used to measure the disability level and Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) for pain. Chi-square test and Pearson's correlation tests were used for data analysis.

RESULTS:
Out of the patients with CLBP, 82% (n = 41) were with normal foot arch (NFA), 16% (n = 8) with low foot arch (LFA), and 2% (n = 1) with high foot arch (HFA). In the control group, there were 94% (n = 47) with NFA, 4% (n = 2) with LFA, and 2% (n = 1) with HFA. Sample size was small to extract a significant P value for the observed difference between cases and controls with regard to the presence of LFA. The majority (66%) of the patients had severe disability followed with moderate disability (28%), minimal disability (4%), and crippled (2%). A positive correlation was found between disability level and the pain scale (P < 0.01).

CONCLUSIONS:
Further research with large sample size is necessary to make firm conclusions on association of LFA type with low back pain. However, the pain and the disability level among the patients with CLBP seems to be highly correlated.

Authors: Anjar Sari Desy Siswi , Nurmalisyah Fitri Firranda 
Published: July 2022

Pre-school is a golden period in the development process. It consist of cognitive, physical, motoric, and psychosocial aspects of a child developing optimally. One of the developmental parameters is fine motor, its related to physical skills that involve the muscles of the fingertips and eye-hand coordination. The aim was to analyse the effect of brain gymn to improve fine motoric design. The design was a one-group pre-experimental with pre-posttest. The population was all students pre school in Sentul Jombang, East Java. Total sample were 33 respondents which matched the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The data collected by questionnaire sheets were adopted from instrument for assessing child development, namely KPSP. Intervention was given by brain exercise were carried out 3 times a week for 2 months then analyzed using Wilcoxon with a significance value of α = 0.05. The results showed that brain exercise in pre-school children was able to improve fine motor skills (p = 0.000). Brain gym is one of the effective ways to improve fine motor skills in children because being able to facilitate blood flow and oxygen to the brain also helps overall brain development. Therefore, brain gym is highly recommended for pre-school children.

Authors: Anderson L. M. , Clark A. L. , Marx D. H. 
Published: July 2022

AbstractEleven-month old container grown seedlings of pin oak (Quercus palustris) and sawtooth oak (Q. acutissima) were outplanted on an earth-filled, steeply graded highway interchange near Atlanta, Georgia. The pin oak seedlings had eitherPisolithus tinctorius(Pt) ectomycorrhizae or natural ectomycorrhizae (controls). The sawtooth seedlings had either Pt,Thelephora terrestris(Tt), or natural (controls) ectomycorrhizae. At the end of two growing seasons, pin oak seedlings with Pt ectomycorrhizae were larger than control seedlings. Pt ectomycorrhizae also increased survival and growth of seedlings of sawtooth oak in comparison to seedlings with Tt or control ectomycorrhizae.
Response ofCornus floridato Moisture Stress
Authors: Williams J. D. , Ponder H. G. , Gilliam C. H. 
Published: July 2022

AbstractTwo experiments were conducted to determine the effects of moisture stress on one-year-old containerizedCornus florida. Recovery times of plant’s shoot water potential, stomatal conductance and transpiration to the levels of nonstressed control plants were dependent on duration of moisture stress. Increased stress resulted in longer recovery periods. Shoot length was suppressed by severe moisture stress. Short periods of moisture stress, such as 10 days without water followed by normal watering, resulted in initial suppression of shoot length, but by the end of the growing season, there were no differences between short-term moisture-stressed plants and nonstressed plants. Longer periods of stress, such as 22 days without water, resulted in suppressed shoot growth in the growing season of the stress and also produced a slower shoot growth rate the following growing season.
