Published: December 2022

Background:
Craniovertebral junction (CVJ) anomalies involve mosaic interaction of multifaceted neurovascular and bony elements. Most of them present late in the course of illness usually as acute presentations following trivial trauma. Knowing subclinical autonomic dysfunction in such anomalies when managed medically can not only indicate progression but also provide en route to early intervention for better outcomes, especially in relatively asymptomatic patients.

Materials and Methods:
We conducted a 6-year longitudinal prospective study including 40 consecutive patients of CVJ anomalies with clinical, radiological, and heart rate variability (HRV) parameters and found their correlation in preoperative and follow-up period.

Results:
Twenty-eight patients were male and the rest were female. The mean age was 32 years with the least age being 8 years and maximum age being 75 years old. Mean Nurick's grade and Barthel's index were 1.8 and 83.75, respectively. 38% had severe-to-moderate compression. The mean follow-up was 17.4 months. Both sympathetic and parasympathetic oscillator HRV indices were significantly affected in the preoperative period (P ≤ 0.001) with no association with Nurick's grade or degree of compression although there was association with grade of Barthel's index. Poincare plots showed “fan,” “complex,” or “torpedo” patterns in 36 patients. Forty patients had both preoperative and follow-up clinical grade whereas 22 patients HRV tests in the above periods. None of the HRV indices showed significant improvement at follow-up. Nonetheless both sympathetic and parasympathetic did improve at follow-up with sympathetic tone registering better scores. Poincare plots showed improvement toward “comet” patterns in all patients.

Conclusion:
HRV indices not only help in prognosticating but may also help in predicting outcomes.
Compensatory mechanisms in adult degenerative thoracolumbar spinal deformity – Radiographic patterns, their reversibility after corrective surgery, and the influence of pelvic morphology

Published: December 2022

Objective:
Loss of lumbar lordosis (LL) in degenerative deformity activates spinal compensatory mechanisms to maintain neutral C7 sagittal vertical axis (C7SVA), such as an increase in pelvic tilt (PT) and decreased thoracic kyphosis (TK). We study the extent to which PT increase and TK reduction contribute to the compensation of pelvic incidence (PI)-LL mismatch.

Methods:
A cohort of 43 adult patients with adult degenerative thoracolumbar deformity were included in this retrospective study. Radiographic spinopelvic measurements were obtained before and after corrective surgery. Pearson correlations were calculated.

Results:
Preoperative PI-LL mismatch significantly correlated with an increase in PT and a decrease in TK in the whole cohort r = +0.66 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.44–0.8) and r = −0.67 (95% CI − 0.81–−0.47), respectively, at a relative rate of 0.37 (standard deviation [SD]: 0.07) and − 0.57 (SD: 0.09), respectively. In patients with low PI, only TK showed a significant correlation with PI-LL mismatch, r = −0.56 (95% CI − 0.8 to − 0.16), at a rate of − 0.57 (SD: 0.19). The high PI subgroup showed a significant correlation with PT, TK, and C7SVA, r = 0.62 (95% CI 0.26–0.82), r = −0.8 (95% CI − 0.9–−0.58), and r = 0.71 (95% CI 0.41–0.87) at rates of 0.48 (SD: 0.11), −0.72 (SD: 0.12), and 0.62 (SD: 1.27).

Conclusions:
Decreased TK represented a more consistent compensatory mechanism in patients with high and low PI when compared to an increase in PT. PI-LL mismatch induced more pronounced changes in TK than did PT in both subgroups. Patients with high PI relied more on increases in PT and a relative decrease in TK to compensate for PI-LL mismatch than patients with low PI.

Abstract
Nontyphoidal Salmonella enterica serovars are the leading cause of foodborne hospitalization and death episodes in the United States. In a typical year, it is estimated that &gt;1 million Americans experience illness due to foodborne nontyphoidal Salmonellosis. While the private industry and manufacturing rely heavily on results of validations studies for inactivation and decontamination of this prevalent and opportunistic pathogen of public health concern, availability of such studies conducted in realistic environments of manufacturing and processing is limited due to pathogenic nature of the organism. The current study investigated effects of elevated hydrostatic pressure and a bioactive product from grapefruit seed extract (CitricidalTM) for elimination of nontyphoidal Salmonella serovars. Additionally, sensitivity of an avirulent strain of the bacterium (Salmonella LT2) investigated relative to the pathogenic Salmonella serovars. Our results show that the avirulent strain utilized in the current study, has similar sensitivity to the treatments compared to nontyphoidal pathogenic Salmonella serovars. Thus, this non-pathogenic strain could be used interchangeably for public health microbiology hurdle validation studies as a surrogate for pathogenic Salmonella serovars. Additionally, we observed &gt;5 log reduction of the pathogen (i.e. &gt; 99.999%) due to treatments with elevated hydrostatic pressure at 500 MPa and at 300 MPa with presence of CitricidalTM. Our result additionally exhibits that combination of mild hydrostatic pressure and bioactive compounds such as CitricidalTM could be utilized to ensure safe and efficacious elimination of this prevalent pathogen of public health concern from common commodities.

Objective: There are more than 3000 snake species in the world, about 30% of which are known to be venomous. Snake poisoning can cause serious mortality and morbidity. In this study, it was aimed to investigate epidemiologically and clinically the snake bite cases admitted to the emergency department of a tertiary hospital in Izmir.
Material and Methods: Patients who applied to our emergency department with the complaint of snake bite between 2012 and 2022 were included in the retrospective observational study. The data of the patients were obtained by scanning the hospital electronic database. Vital signs, laboratory values, physical examination findings and outcomes of the patients were evaluated.
Results: Of the 52 patients, 22 (42.3%) were female, 30 (57.7%) were male, and the mean age was 48±16. It was seen that the most cases occurred in the summer season and only 1 patient died in total. Snake bite was seen on extremity in 41 (78.8%) patients while 11 (21.2%) had non-extremity bites. There was a statistically significant difference in CK value, potassium value, local edema and diffuse edema incidence between the two groups according to the bite site.
Conclusion: Higher CK, lower potassium level and more local and diffuse edema are seen in extremity bites compared to non-extremity bites.
Delineating the distribution of mineral and peat soils at the landscape scale in northern boreal regions

Published: December 2022

Abstract. To meet the sustainable development goals and enable sustainable
management and protection of peatlands, there is a strong need for improving
the mapping of peatlands. Here we present a novel approach to identify peat
soils based on a high-resolution digital soil moisture map that was produced
by combining airborne laser scanning-derived terrain indices and machine
learning to model soil moisture at 2 m spatial resolution across the Swedish
landscape. As soil moisture is a key factor in peat formation, we fitted an
empirical relationship between the thickness of the organic layer (measured
at 5479 soil plots across the country) and the continuous SLU (Swedish University of Agricultural Science) soil moisture
map (R2= 0.66, p < 0.001). We generated categorical maps of
peat occurrence using three different definitions of peat (30, 40, and 50 cm
thickness of the organic layer) and a continuous map of organic layer
thickness. The predicted peat maps had a higher overall quality (MCC = 0.69–0.73) compared to traditional Quaternary deposits maps (MCC = 0.65)
and topographical maps (MCC = 0.61) and captured the peatlands with a
recall of ca. 80 % compared to 50 %–70 % on the traditional maps. The
predicted peat maps identified more peatland area than previous maps, and
the areal coverage estimates fell within the same order as upscaling
estimates from national field surveys. Our method was able to identify
smaller peatlands resulting in more accurate maps of peat soils, which was
not restricted to only large peatlands that can be visually detected from
aerial imagery – the historical approach of mapping. We also provided a
continuous map of the organic layer, which ranged 6–88 cm organic layer
thickness, with an R2 of 0.67 and RMSE (root mean square error) of 19 cm. The continuous map
exhibits a smooth transition of organic layers from mineral soil to peat
soils and likely provides a more natural representation of the distribution
of soils. The continuous map also provides an intuitive uncertainty estimate
in the delineation of peat soils, critically useful for sustainable spatial
planning, e.g., greenhouse gas or biodiversity inventories and landscape
ecological research.

Penyakit periodontal merupakan penyakit dengan prevalensi 67,8% berada tertinggi setelah karies gigi. Penyakit periodontal yang dibiarkan akan meningkatkan resiko penyakit sistemik seperti diabetes mellitus, penyakit jantung, dan rheumatoid arthritis. Kesehatan gigi dan mulut berpengaruh terhadap respons imun tubuh, termasuk paru-paru dan covid -19. Sebuah penelitian menyebutkan bahwa orang dengan penyakit gusi memiliki risiko lebih tinggi untuk mengalami penyakit pernapasan, seperti pneumonia, penyakit paru obstruktif kronik (PPOK), dan bronkitis. Kesehatan mulut yang tidak terjaga juga dapat meningkatkan risiko terjadinya komplikasi pernapasan pada orang dengan penyakit paru kronis. Dengan menjaga kesehatan gigi dan mulut, salah satunya dengan berkumur, dapat menurunkan risiko terkena COVID-19. Begitu masuk ke dalam rongga mulut, virus load dapat dikurangi dengan obat kumur antiseptik. Upaya inilah diharapkan dapat mengurangi resiko penyakit periodontal yang disebabkan oleh bakteri plak gigi dan resistensi host dan dapat menurunkan prevalensi penyakit periodontal dan menurunkan resiko penyakit sistemik. Melalui pelatihan dan workshop cara sederhana deteksi penyakit periodontal diharapkan dapat dapat menurunkan prevalensi penyakit periodontal dan menurunkan resiko penyakit sistemik.

Published: December 2022

Promosi pariwisata merupakan aspek yang kini menjadi fokus pemerintah dalam meningkatkan potensi sektor pariwisata. Meski aspek infrastruktur juga penting, tetapi perbaikan infrastruktur memakan waktu lebih lama daripada promosi. Salah satu langkah konkret pemerintah Indonesia untuk mempromosikan pariwisata adalah dengan meluncurkan “Pesona Indonesia” sebagai nation branding yang merepres-entasikan daya Tarik pariwisata di Indonesia. Pesona Indonesia merupakan channel yang dibuat oleh Kementerian Parwisata untuk mempromosikan pariwisata di Indonesia. Selain tersedia dalam bentuk layanan website, calon wisatawan juga dapat melihat video cinematic terkait pariwisata di Indonesia. Hal tersebut dimaksudkan agar dapat menarik wisatawan untuk berkunjung ke tempat tersebut. Semakin banyak wisatawan yang berkunjung, maka akan semakin besar pula pendapatan negara dari sector pariwisata. Penjelasan setiap tempat pariwisata di ‘Pesona Indonesia’ menggunakan bahasa yang sangat menarik. Dari hasil penelitian diketahui terdapat dua jenis bentuk retorika yang sering dipakai yakni yang berup diksi dan gaya bahasa.

Published: December 2022

Diabetes is highly prevalent disease in Pakistan, and it greatly impacts the quality of life of its patients. Diabetes self-care and resilience can be significant in this regard. Objective: To find out the relation among diabetes self-care, resilience, and quality of life in patients with type II diabetes. Methods: The correlation research design was used along with purposive sampling to select the sample (N=200) from Government and private hospitals of Lahore. 11 items Summary Diabetes Self-care Activity scale (SDSCA), 18 items Trait Resilience Scale (TRS) and 15 items Diabetes Quality of Life (DQOL) scale were used in the study. Researchers translated English versions of TRS and DQOL scales into Urdu language following the Lexion Equivalence method of translation. Results: Correlation analysis revealed significant positive relation between general diet and resilience (.61, p< 0.5), Blood glucose and resilience (.53, p < 0.5) and between resilience and quality of life (.77, p<0.5). Multiple linear regression revealed that self-care activities significantly predict quality of life. Conclusions: The more the patients are following self-care activities, the better will be their quality of life. The study will be helpful for clinical psychologists to boost the resilience of patients with diabetes

Published: December 2022

One of the important aspects of any successful prosthodontics treatment is the satisfaction level of patients with that particular treatment. Crowns and fixed partial dentures besides fulfilling clinical and laboratory norms must also satisfy the needs of patients. Objective: To evaluate satisfaction level of patients with crown and bridge they received in the past. Methods: This cross sectional study had a total of one hundred patients (males and females) who were evaluated for the satisfaction level of crown and bridges they received in recent past. Through a convenient sampling technique and present inclusion and exclusion criteria only those patients were considered who presented with the problem other than the existing fixed prostheses under consideration for the study. Self structured questionnaire was used to assess patient’s satisfaction on the basis of type of prosthesis used, material of prosthesis, mastication, perceived aesthetics, taste of food and foul smell. Data were analysed through SPSS version 23.0. Results: Study had 46 males and 54 females with a mean age of 37 years. Majority of patients presented with metallic ceramic crowns. Approximately 79% patients were found to be comfortable with mastication. Most of the patients (98%) were satisfied with aesthetic while 93% patients did not feel any bad smell. A very small percentage of patients were not satisfied with their taste of food and speech. Conclusions: Overall satisfaction of patients on a scale from 1-10 showed that maximum number of patients were found to be satisfied from their previous crown and fixed partial denture treatment.
