ABSTRACT

Introduction:
Down syndrome (DS) is one of the most common genetic abnormalities, with highly variable prognosis. Oral diseases such as periodontal disease, malocclusion, mouth breathing, macroglossia, delayed teeth eruption, missing and malformed teeth, microdontia, diastema, and bruxism are common among individuals with DS. Hence, a study was planned to assess the caries experience and periodontal status of subjects with DS.

Materials and Methods:
A cross-sectional study was conducted among 92 DS patients in two different centers in Chennai and Pondicherry to assess the prevalence of dental caries and gingivitis, using dft/DMFT and Modified Loe and Silness Gingival Index, respectively. The subjects were examined by three trained and calibrated examiners using a pre-tested and pre-validated proforma. Data were entered in a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet and analyzed using SPSS software (version 20). Descriptive statistics were used. A value of P < 0.05 was considered significant.

Results:
The mean DMFT was low among male (1.47 ± 2.31) when compared to female (2.57 ± 4.57) which was found to be significant statistically. The gingival score was low among male (.85 ± 0.36) when compared to female (1 ± 1.00) which was found to be significant statistically. The mean dft among male and female were (.49 ± 1.37;.43 ± 1.09), respectively, which was found to be not significant statistically.

Conclusion:
Dental caries and gingival diseases are higher among children with DS. Dental caries was found both in primary dentition and permanent dentition.

ABSTRACT

Objective:
The aim of this study was to understand the prevalence, extent, clinical approach of hypertension and cardiovascular disease (CVD) in patients recovered from COVID-19.

Methods:
The round table meetings (RTMs) and survey convened a diverse panel of specialists including cardiologists, endocrinologists, diabetologists, consultant physicians, and family physicians from various geographical zones of India. A standard questionnaire including 10 questions was developed pertaining to the resurgence of hypertension and CVD in patients recovered from COVID-19. The RTMs and survey were held virtually. The collected opinions and recommendations were compiled to derive a consensus document.

Results:
A total of 3066 health-care practitioners (HCPs) participated. Hypertension was the most prevalent comorbidity in patients recovered from COVID-19 followed by diabetes, dyslipidemia, and coronary artery disease. Almost two-thirds of HCPs reported that 10%–30% newly diagnosed hypertension in patients recovered from COVID-19. Uncontrolled hypertension in 10-20% of COVID-19 recovered patients opined by 45% of the HCPs. About, 35% HCPs reported CV complications in 10-20% of Covid-19 recovered patients and 63% HCPs reported exacerbations of CAD in 10-30% of patients. Majority of HCPs preferred to switch to dual combination therapy from monotherapy for hypertension management (52.0%) and ARBs and its combination is most preferred combination for hypertension control (60%). Majority of the HCPs suggested follow-up after 1-2 weeks (39.0%). Close monitoring on symptoms including chest pain and breathlessness (45.0%), adherence to medication and regular monitoring of lab parameters (25%) is recommended for these patients.

Conclusion:
Overall observations indicate an increased incidence of hypertension and CVDs post recovery from COVID-19. A dual therapy of ARBs was the preferred choice for management of hypertension. Regular follow-up and close monitoring of symptoms to prevent further CV complications in COVID-19 recovered patients is recommended.

Published: June 2022

Context:
Birth companions are women who have experienced the process of labor and provide continuous one-to-one support to the other women who are experiencing the process of labor and childbirth.

Aim:
This study aimed to assess knowledge, attitude, and factors affecting the implementation of birth companionship among obstetricians, nurses, and pregnant women.

Settings and Design:
Nonexperimental quantitative research approach with a descriptive design carried out at All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Jodhpur, Rajasthan.

Materials and Methods:
Data were collected from 25 obstetricians, 15 nurses selected by consecutive sampling technique, and 120 pregnant women selected by purposive sampling technique. Data collection tool included a structured knowledge questionnaire, an attitude Likert scale, and a checklist to assess factors affecting the implementation of birth companionship.

Statistical Analysis Used:
Data were entered into a master sheet and SPSS 16 version was used for the descriptive and inferential statistical analysis.

Results:
Most of the obstetricians (60%) and pregnant women (59.2%) had fair knowledge, whereas nurses (53%) had good knowledge regarding birth companionship. Most of the obstetricians (96%), nurses (73%), and pregnant women (81.7%) had positive attitudes regarding birth companionship. Breach of privacy of other mothers, less availability of space to accommodate birth companion, and nonavailability of ideal birth companion were the most common factors reported to affect the implementation of birth companionship by the obstetricians and nurses, whereas long distance of hospital from home and apprehension due to a known person's presence were the factors reported by pregnant women. Knowledge level and attitude level of the pregnant women had a significant association with age (P = 0.000) and parity (P = 0.042), respectively.

Background:
This study aimed to determine changes in microvascular endothelial function with upper arm arteriovenous fistula (AVF) creation and maturation in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD).

Materials and Methods:
This prospective cross-sectional study was performed at Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia, a tertiary hospital in Malaysia. Forty CKD patients (stage 4–5) who were scheduled for elective AVF creation over the upper extremity for maintenance hemodialysis were recruited using convenience sampling method. Microvascular endothelial-dependent vasodilation was measured using laser Doppler flowmetry and the process of iontophoresis preoperatively and postoperatively at weeks 2 and 6. Fistula maturation was assessed at week 6.

Results:
Thirty-two patients had successful AVF maturation. Endothelial-dependent vasodilation (acetylcholine (Ach)% was higher (246.48 [standard deviation (SD) 209.38] vs. 104.95 [SD 43.29], P = 0.001) while systolic blood pressure was lower (142.25 [SD 21.50] vs. 162.25 [SD 13.26], P = 0.017) in this group as compared to unsuccessful AVF group. No significant changes were seen in overall microvascular endothelial-dependent vasodilation during the 6-week study period (day 0, 246.48 [SD 209.38]; week 2, 201.14 [SD 198.19]; and week 6, 203.53 [SD 145.89]).

Conclusion:
Upper arm AVF creation does not affect microvascular endothelial function up to 6 weeks post operation and may not contribute to the success of AVF maturation. However, the lower microvascular endothelial-dependent vasodilation and higher systolic blood pressure in unsuccessful AVF subjects need to be further studied.

Published: June 2022

Objectives:
The symptoms of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) have been positively documented to be correlated with unintentional mind-wandering (MW) in the literature. In this study, we intended to explore the link between the types of MW and the attention laboratory performance in adults with ADHD symptoms.

Methods:
We recruited 24 adult patients with ADHD and 30 controls: (a) to receive a semi-structured psychiatric interview for ADHD and other diagnoses, (b) to complete questionnaires about adult ADHD symptoms and other psychiatric symptoms, (c) to receive intelligence assessment, (d) to have thought probes during a Sustained Attention to Response Task (SART), and (e) to be assessed with the MW: Spontaneous Scale (WM-S). Results:Adult patients with ADHD symptoms showed a more impulsive SART response style (increased commission errors and fast response speed) and unintentional MW. Increased unintentional MW was associated with reduced task performance. A positive association existed between MW-S scores and unintentional MW during the SART.

Conclusion:
Spontaneous MW may be significant impairment in adults with ADHD. Different measurements of MW had the associated and consistent findings measured by cognitive laboratory task with thought probe or WM-S measurement.

Makalede, Peter Kühn’ün Der Grundwortschatz’un yöntemi kullanılarak temel söz varlığı ölçütleri açısından okuma sözcüğü incelenmiştir. Böylece, okumanın Türkçede nasıl bir karşılık bulduğu tespit edilmeye çalışılmıştır.
Bir dilin çekirdek sözcükleri olan temel söz varlığı yıllarca değişime uğramadan varlığını sürdürmektedir. Sözcükler, toplumun kültürünü ve değerlerini tespit edebildiğimiz araçlardır. Toplumun alışkanlıklarını ve dünya görüşünü kullandıkları deyim ve atasözlerinden öğrenmekteyiz. Nesilden nesle gelen deyim ve atasözleri asırlar boyunca varlığını sürdürmektedir. Temel söz varlığının yanında deyim ve atasözlerini incelemek toplumun tarih boyunca okumaya bakışını görmemizi sağlayacaktır.
Okuma kavramının temel söz varlığı unsurlarına uygunluğuna bakılmıştır. Ayrıca okumayla ilgili deyim ve atasözlerinin içerdiği anlamlar bakımından topluma nasıl etki edeceği de değerlendirilmiştir.
Çalışmamızda okuma kavramının Türkçenin en eski dönemlerinden beri dilimizin temel söz varlığında yaşadığı tespit edilmiştir. Okuma bir sözcüğün temel söz varlığından sayılabilmesi için taşıması gereken unsurlara uygundur.
Okumanın atasözlerimiz arasında anlamlı ölçüde yer edinmezken deyimlerde çeşitli anlamlarda yer edindiği gözlenmektedir.
