Published: July 2022

Introduction:
The novel COVID-19 which spread's primarily through oral and nasal passage poses a major threat of spread during dental treatments. It is important for dental practitioners to use minimal aerosol techniques. The aim of this study is to compare the time taken, efficiency and aerosol generated between modified and conventional technique (CT) of bracket bonding.

Methods:
This study includes 40 patients who required complete orthodontic treatment. In all 40 patients, one of the arches was bonded with modified technique (MT) and the opposing with CT. The time taken to prepare tooth in both the techniques were accessed. The efficiency of bond was seen over a period of 6 months. The amount of aerosol particulate matter generated during CT and MT was observed using a laser air quality monitor

Conclusion:
There is no significant difference in the bond failure and time taken between both the techniques. The aerosol generated in MT was minimal or almost negligible when compared to the use of CT.

Introduction:
The analgesia after the C-section is a very challenging condition to the anesthetist. Various combinations of the agents have been proposed for a successful analgesia. Hence, in our study, we aimed to compare the intrathecal bupivacaine 0.5% with intrathecal bupivacaine 0.5% and 60-microgram buprenorphine for postoperative analgesia in elective C-section patients.

Materials and Methods:
We piloted a prospective study among 40 subjects grouped equally as Group I – bupivacaine 0.5%, and Group II – bupivacaine 0.5% and 60-μg buprenorphine. We compared the clinical parameters for the pain relief by visual analog scale (VAS), the duration of the analgesia, and the side effects for the two groups. The values obtained were compared using the ANOVA test deliberating P < 0.05 as significant.

Results:
Significant longer duration and faster onset of the analgesia were seen for the Group II than the Group I. The VAS score was higher for the Group I than Group II. Greater side effects were seen in the buprenorphine group.

Conclusion:
Within the limits of this study, beneficial effect of the bupivacaine was identified when added to the routine bupivacaine for the analgesia in the C-section.

Background:
Lower back pain (LBP) is well-known as the most common musculoskeletal condition with 80% of lifetime prevalence. The effects of LBP on cultural, social, and public health continue to increase. It brings in billions of dollars of medical costs. This study assessed the prevalence of LBP among car drivers with the wrong driving position in Taif.

Methodology:
A cross-sectional study using an electronic questionnaire in English translated to Arabic, which included questions about driving with wrong postures, lower back pain, and its correlation.

Results:
91.1% of participants satisfied our inclusion criteria for the data analysis. The prevalence of lower back pain in this study was about 44.1% (n = 659). It was more among those aged >40 years (50.9%) compared to other age groups, which showed a statistically significant association (P < 0.001). It was found that 54.4% (n = 813) had been driving in a wrong posture, and there was a strong association observed between this wrong posture and LBP (51.8%) (P < 0.001).

Conclusion:
The prevalence of LBP was high among drivers. This study calls for implanting health education and awareness programs about LBP and its risk factors.

Published: July 2022

Aim of the Study:
The objective of this in-vitro study was to assess the screening capabilities of three endodontic sealers, namely the BioRoot RCS, the MTA Fillapex, and Sealapex (a calcium hydroxide-based sealer), and the gutta-percha cone by using a scanning electron microscopy to the dentine walls. The results from the research are presented here.

Results:
ZOE exhibited more gaps in the sealing materials evaluated with the least dental sealing performance, followed by the cervical third by the MTA Fillapex, the Sealapex, and the BioRoot RCS. The ZOE, followed by Sealapex, MTA Fillapex, and BioRoot RCS, exhibited inadequate dental wall sealing capacity in the middle of the third. The third apical ZOE exhibited more deficiencies in the formation of dental walls, followed by Sealapex, MTA Fillapex, and BioRoot RCS.

Conclusion:
Under the constraints of the investigation, it can be stated that for the bioceramic sealer, a minimal gap was seen, with RCS of BioRoot superior to Fillapex of MTA. In the middle third, Sealapex was better adapted to the calcium hydroxide-based sealant than the MTA Fillapex sealer. MTA Filllapex had lower gap development than Sealapex in cervical or apical thirds.

Background:
Periodontal and peri-implant disorders are etiologically linked to bacterial biofilms. The researchers wanted to see how well the erbium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Er:YAG) laser removed bacterial biofilms along with attached epithelial cells (EC), gingival fibroblasts (GF), in addition to osteoblast-like cells (OC) dentin along with titanium surfaces compared to previous therapy methods.

Methodology:
3.5 days were spent growing bacterial biofilms on standardized dentin and also titanium samplings using a sand-blasted along with the acid-etched surface. Following that, the specimens were positioned into pockets that had been formed artificially. The following approaches were used to remove biofilm: (1) Er:YAG, (2) photodynamic therapy (PDT), and (3) curette (CUR) along with supplementary PDT (CUR/PDT). The remaining biofilms' colony forming units (CFUs) were determined, as well as the attachment of EC, GF, in addition to OC. Analysis of variance with a posthoc least significant difference was utilized in the statistical analysis.

Results:
When compared to untreated dentin and titanium surfaces, all therapy strategies reduced total CFUs in statistically significant biofilms (p = 0.001). On the dentin, Er:YAG was as effective as CUR and PDT, but not as effective as CUR/PDT (p = 0.005). The application of Er:YAG on titanium surfaces leads to statistically significantly improved biofilm eradication equated to the supplementary three therapies (all p = 0.001). On untouched infested dentin and titanium surfaces, the counts of attached EC, GF, and OC were the lowermost. Atop the dentin, increased EC counts were detected after CUR/PDT (p = 0.006). On titanium, all cleaning procedures increased the counts of attached EC by a statistically significant amount (p = 0.001), with no variations between groups. After Er:YAG decontamination, there were statistically substantially elevated amounts of GF (p = 0.024) and OC (p = 0.001) than on untreated surfaces.

Conclusion:
The usage of Er:YAG laser to ablate subgingival biofilms and, specifically, to decontaminate titanium implant surfaces appears to be a promising strategy that needs further research.

ABSTRACT.
Despite recent success in reducing the regional incidence of Plasmodium falciparum malaria, cases of zoonotic malaria are on the rise in Southeast Asia. The Cambodian National Malaria Surveillance Program has previously relied on rapid diagnostic tests and blood smear microscopy with confirmatory polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing in a subset of cases to further distinguish P. falciparum, P. malariae, P. ovale, and P. vivax species. Here, metagenomic next-generation sequencing identified P. knowlesi mono-infection in six Cambodian patients initially diagnosed with P. malariae by blood smear microscopy in February–May 2020. These findings of recent human infections with P. knowlesi in Cambodia led to the incorporation of P. knowlesi–specific PCR diagnostics to national malaria surveillance efforts.

Authors: Mei Nurul Habibah  
Published: July 2022

Krisis lahan merupakan hal yang krusial dan menjadi momok bagi kedaulatan negara. Hal tersebut merupakan problem yang telah menggurita secara historis. Untuk menanggulangi hal tersebut, negara sebetulnya telah mengatur agar Reforma Agraria dijalankan melalui UUPA tahun 1960. Lebih jauh dari pengesahan UU tersebut, Islam dengan al-Qur’an dan Hadis telah menetapkan konsep keadilan agraria melalui hukum dan etika yang diajarkan. Tulisan ini bermaksud mengeksplorasi konsep-konsep yang terdapat pada pedoman kaum muslimin tersebut dan bagaimana bentuk kontribusinya dalam mengatasi krisis lahan. Hasil dari penelusuran ini diperoleh beberapa poin kesimpulan mengenai peran Islam dalam upaya mewujudkan keadilan agraria dalam al-Qur’an dan Hadis. Kontribusi tersebut berupa Konsep-ideal dan praksis. Konsep-ideal yang termaktub di dalam al-Qur’an dan hadis antara lain: 1) Bumi dan seisinya adalah milik Allah yang dititipkan kepada manusia untuk dikelola demi berlangsungnya kehidupan, 2) melarang perampasan tanah, 3) menghidupi lahan yang mati 4) berserikat dalam mengelola sumber daya agraria, 5) membagi tanah kepada tunakisma dan 6) menerapkan kebijakan tanah milik publik/hima. Konsep-konsep tersebut adalah pondasi yang mengusung visi dari Islam yang mengutamakan kehidupan ‘adl wa al-ihsan. Sementara bentuk praksis dari kontribusi yang telah diberikan kepada negara, termanifestasikan ke dalam peran ulama yang telah ikut andil dalam merumuskan UUPA tahun 1960.

Published: July 2022

IntroductionSystemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is characterized by early atherothrombosis. Pulse wave velocity (PWV) is a promising tool for the diagnosis of early vascular remodelling and initial atherosclerotic plaque formation. Our objective was to evaluate PWV and its relationship with coronary atherosclerosis and thrombotic biomarkers in patients with SLE.Material and methodsIn 26 patients with SLE with stable clinical conditions, mean age of 39.1 ±11.7 years and without a history of coronary artery disease, multidetector computed tomography (MDCT)-based coronary calcium scoring (CACS) was performed and PWV measured.
Laboratory evaluation included serum levels of anticardiolipin and anti-β2-glycoprotein antibodies (anti-β2-GPI), lupus anticoagulant (LA), D-dimers, thrombin–antithrombin complexes (TAT), and von Willebrand factor (vWF).ResultsMultidetector computed tomography revealed coronary calcifications in 8 (30.8%) patients and the median CACS was 52.4 HU (range 2–843.2). The mean PWV was 9.0 ±3.2 m/s and was higher in patients aged > 50 years (+33.7% vs. < 50 years), those with positive LA (+28.2% vs. LA negative), TAT ≥ 10 µg/l (+18.1% vs. < 10 µg/l), vWF ≥ 200 IU/dl (+51.8% vs. < 200 IU/dl) and with coronary atherosclerosis (CACS > 0; +21.4% vs. CACS = 0).
In contrast, the duration of the disease, D-dimers, anticardiolipin, and anti-β2-GPI antibodies did not influence PWV. In the group without atherosclerosis (CACS = 0, n =18), patients with vWF ≥ 200 IU/dl had a 19.3% higher PWV compared to the rest.ConclusionsIn patients with SLE, PWV was associated with the presence of coronary atherosclerotic lesions in MDCT. Furthermore, arterial stiffness was higher in patients with markers of endothelial dysfunction and a prothrombotic state, suggesting their contribution to the early stages of arterial remodelling in SLE.

Published: July 2022

IntroductionIn this study, we aimed to determine the frequency of MEFV mutations in Behçet’s disease (BD) and to investigate the relationship between clinical findings of the disease and the MEFV mutations.Material and methodsA total of 66 participants (30 BD patients, 36 healthy subjects) were included in this study. The MEFV gene was analyzed by using DNA sequence analysis.ResultsThe distribution of MEFV mutations was not significantly different between the patients and the control group (p = 0.373). However, individuals with R202Q mutation had a risk of OR 4 times (95% CI: 1.1–14.5) higher than those without the mutation (p = 0.035). The rate of vascular involvement was statistically significantly higher in patients with the mutation than in patients without the mutation (p = 0.005).ConclusionsMEFV mutation was associated with vascular involvement in patients with BD. This is also the first study to indicate that the R202Q mutation may have a role in BD. However large series from different regions are required to compare these results.

Published: July 2022

Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is one of the most frequent orthopedic procedures worldwide and its surgical volume is constantly growing. To address the patients’ restricted access to healthcare resources and limited one-on-one contact with the surgeon during the COVID-19 pandemic, we created a reliable source of information for patients undergoing THA. The use of mHealth is increasing with access to modern technology in Poland. Information related to health issues is the second most common web search performed by older adults. Our project aimed to create the first Polish mobile application for THA patients: Endopedia. <br />
Endopedia was developed for the Android platform based on a survey performed among patients and a collection of frequently asked questions on patients’ internet forums. The content was adapted to the elderly and visually impaired requirements. mHealth solutions should not replace one-on-one conversation, but they can provide substantial support for patients in conditions of limited information.

La presente investigación tiene la finalidad de analizar la implementación de la normativa internacional contable enfocado en NIC 2 “Inventarios”, NIC 16 “Propiedad, Planta y equipo” y NIC 19 “Beneficios a empleados” y su incidencia en la eficiencia empresarial del Sector Artesanal de la parroquia La Victoria. Se realizó un diagnóstico enfocado a recabar información sobre la cultura contable y financiera de los micro empresarios en el curso normal de sus operaciones. Se ejecutó una investigación cuantitativa, de tipo exploratorio, en base a una revisión bibliográfica y documental con el fin de emplear un modelo correlacional para el análisis de datos recaudados a través de la encuesta. La información con la cual se trabajó se obtuvo directamente de los Artesanos del sector y se eligió una muestra basada en trabajos relacionados anteriores conformada por 18 productores. Puesto que el tamaño de la muestra fue menor a 30 se empleó el coeficiente de Spearman para realizar el análisis correlacional. Los resultados evidenciaron que dentro de la población objetivo la implementación de normativa contable tiene una incidencia positiva considerable en la eficiencia empresarial, esto podría explicarse a que existe un conocimiento empírico, más no especializado, sobre procedimientos contables por parte de los micro productores, que lo relacionan con el desarrollo normal de su negocio y la participación activa del Gobierno en el proceso de recaudación de impuestos.
