Published: December 2022

Introduction:
Haller cell and accessory maxillary ostium (AMO) do not represent a diseased state, but they can be responsible for the development of maxillary sinusitis.

Aim and Objectives:
The study aimed to evaluate the frequency and volumetry of Haller cell and the prevalence of AMO on cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT).

Materials and Methods:
The two hundred CBCT scans of patients (400 bilateral maxillary sinus region) were evaluated for the presence of Haller cell, and AMO coronal, axial, and sagittal plane was inspected; then, volumetric measurement was carried out at the maximum mediolateral dimension. Based on the size, two observers arbitrarily categorized the Haller cell into small, medium, and large. Finally, descriptive statistics and Chi-square test were done.

Results:
Fifty-six Haller cell were identified with a prevalence of 28%, of which 20% were unilateral, and 8% were bilateral. Small-sized Haller cell was seen in 11%, medium-sized was seen in 13%, and large sized was seen in 4%. AMO was present unilaterally in 5% of the studied scans.

Conclusion:
Knowledge of Haller cell and accessory maxillary ostium may aid in interpreting CBCT, which may also forewarn surgeons before surgeries.

Published: December 2022

Introduction:
Vitamin D plays a crucial role in regulating immunity by reducing the multiplication of helper T cells, activating regulatory T cells, and inhibiting the release of immunoglobulins. Vitamin D levels must be measured in a disease mediated by the immune system, such as oral lichen planus (OLP).

Aim:
This study aimed to identify the potential association between vitamin D serum levels and OLP.

Material and Methods:
A randomized case-control study was conducted with 50 volunteers divided into two groups: 20 case subjects and 30 controls. 2.5 ml of venous blood was extracted from the median cubital vein of both patients and controls. The total quantity of 25-hydroxyvitamin D was determined by an electrochemiluminescence binding assay.

Statistical Analysis Used:
The independent student's t-test was performed to compare the serum vitamin D levels between the two groups.

Results:
The mean vitamin D values in OLP patients and healthy controls were 15.11 and 26.10 ng/ml, respectively. In OLP cases, vitamin D3 deficiency was more prevalent than in control subjects. These distinctions were statistically significant (P-value < 0.05).

Conclusion:
Vitamin D levels might portray a significant factor in the aetiopathogenesis of OLP and could influence the disease's course and prognosis.

Authors: Vardhan B. G. Harsha , Gopal K. Saraswathi , Ganesh M. Ragu , Nagammai N , Siddique Abubakker 
Published: December 2022

Background:
Soft tissue calcifications are most commonly seen in two-dimensional radiographs. Some may be physiological, and some may be pathological and need treatment. CBCT images provide valuable information about anatomic structures and pathologies. These soft tissue calcifications can be seen clearly in CBCT without superimposition and can be diagnosed appropriately.

Aim and Objectives:
This study aimed to assess the type and prevalence of calcifications found in CBCT volumes obtained for various diagnostic purposes. The objective of the present study was to determine the prevalence of soft tissue and to find their anatomic location, size, and type as well as their relation to age and gender.

Materials and Method:
Three hundred full-skull CBCT volumes were retrieved retrospectively from the age-group of 9–75 yrs and were evaluated for calcifications. The study sample included CBCT volumes taken for all diagnostic purposes, and those which contained artifacts were excluded.

Results:
Of 300 CBCT volumes, 133 were females, and 167 were males. Among them, 446 calcifications were encountered in 177 individuals. Their distribution was pineal gland calcification (24.8%), tonsillolith (18%), choroid plexus calcification (24%), pulp stone (12.4%), calcified stylohyoid chain (8%), sialolith (4%), triticeous cartilage calcification (2%), phlebolith (3%), and extracranial carotid artery calcification (1%).

Conclusion:
Although most of the calcifications are asymptomatic and require no treatment, correct identification of these findings will reduce further diagnostic assessment and provide more appropriate treatment plans. It will also provide the ability to evaluate underlying diseases comprehensively, and practitioners will have life-saving information by early diagnosis.

Published: December 2022

Introduction:
Recurrent aphthous ulcer (RAU) is one of the most common oral mucosal disorders characterized by recurrent and painful ulcerations on movable or nonkeratinized oral mucosa. It affects approximately 20% of the general population. These present as recurrent, multiple, small, round, or ovoid ulcers with circumscribed margins, having yellow or gray floors, surrounded by erythematous halos.

Aims and Objectives:
To compare the prevalence and occurrence of RAU among the age group from 20 to 80 years. To compare the prevalence and occurrence among the gender. To correlate the causes of the recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS). To check for tobacco and its role in the occurrence of RAS.

Materials and Methods:
A cross-sectional study was conducted, and a total of 600 questionnaire forms were distributed and filled by students (undergraduates and postgraduates), staff, skilled workers, and patients reporting to the department over a period of 3 years.

Results and Discussions:
In total, 71.1% had experienced oral aphthous ulcerations. When both the genders were compared, RAS more commonly affected females (60.33%) than males (39.67%). The regression coefficient for gender revealed that females were more prone to RAS than males.

Conclusion:
Understanding the prevalence and distribution of recurrent aphthous ulceration among the population of Ludhiana gives an indication of the section of people who suffer from the condition. Based on the results of our study, females were more commonly affected than males, and the second- and third-decades age groups were affected.

Authors: Fawzy Mona S. , Aboelnasr Mohamed S. , Raouf Yasser M.A. , Albendary Aml S. 
Published: December 2022

Background
In the USA, acute pancreatitis (AP) was the third most prevalent gastrointestinal disease and it is the commonest pancreatic disease worldwide. It is critical to identify individuals at a higher risk of developing severe AP early to improve their prognosis. Several scoring systems to assess the severity of AP (e.g. Ranson’s criteria and acute physiologic assessment and chronic health-evaluation II) were developed.

Aim
The goal of this study was to see whether red-cell distribution width (RDW) could be used to predict the severity and mortality of AP.

Patients and methods
This prospective observational study included 50 patients admitted at Tanta University Emergency Hospital with AP. During the study, 46 patients survived, while four patients died, 31 patients discharged without complications, and 15 patients had complications.

Results
RDW had a significant relationship with complications of AP (P=0.005), also, RDW had a strong relationship to mortality (P=0.049). RDW had a sensitivity of 61.11% and a specificity of 84.37% in predicting complications. While RDW had a sensitivity and specificity of 75.0 and 95.65%, respectively, in predicting mortality. We also found that Ranson’s criteria had a significant relationship with complications and mortality of AP (P=0.024). The sensitivity and specificity of Ranson’s criteria to predict complications was 72.22 and 62.50%, respectively. While the sensitivity and specificity of Ranson’s criteria to predict mortality was 75.0 and 71.74%, respectively.

Conclusion
RDW seems to be a good test used to determine the severity of AP.

Authors: Amara Amira B.M. , Mahdy Amal A.E.-K. , El-Bermawy Manal I. , Sattar Amal M.A. 
Published: December 2022

Background
Ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI) in skeletal muscles is a pathophysiology that affects quality of life. The role of growth factors in the healing process encouraged the use of platelet-rich plasma (PRP).

Aim
This work aimed to evaluate the effect of PRP and colchicine in experimentally induced muscle IRI in rats.

Materials and methods
A total of 90 adult male rats were used in this study. Ten rats were used for blood collection to prepare PRP, and 80 rats were divided into four equal groups: group 1: control, group 2: gastrocnemius muscles of their right limbs were subjected to IRI and were left without treatment; group 3: gastrocnemius muscles were subjected to IRI as group 2 and immediately treated by intramuscular PRP; and group 4: colchicine was injected intraperitoneally immediately before IRI. Muscle specimens were taken from the control group and after 2 h and 7 days in the experimental groups for histological and immunohistochemical staining to detect antimyogenin and anti-CD34. The data were analyzed statistically.

Results
In the current study, group 2 showed disturbed normal histological architecture of skeletal muscles. PRP-treated group revealed early formation of many myotubes on the seventh day after injury and reduction of fibrosis. It showed significant increase in the number of centrally nucleated fibers, satellite cells, and new blood vessel formation. The colchicine group exhibited reduced muscle damage when compared with the IRI group.

Conclusions
PRP enhances tissue healing via myogenesis, neovascularization, and reduction of fibrosis. Colchicine attenuates IRI via its anti-inflammatory effects.

Background
Transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block represents a rapidly expanding technique. It was reported to significantly reduce pain with lower abdominal surgery. Epidural analgesia is a popular analgesic technique for abdominal operation, with great efficiency and safety.

Aim
The aim was to evaluate the effect of ultrasound-guided TAP block versus lumbar epidural after lower abdominal surgery analgesia. The primary outcome was to evaluate which technique is more effective regarding postoperative analgesia, and the secondary outcome was to evaluate the amount of rescue analgesia used in both groups.

Patients and methods
The study was carried out on 70 patients scheduled for a lower abdominal surgery randomly divided into TAP block group and epidural group (35 patients each) and measurement of visual analog score and amount of rescue analgesia used in both groups.

Results
Visual analog score was significantly lower at 6, 12, 18, and 24 h in the TAP block group in contrast to epidural group, with insignificant difference at postanesthetic care unit and 2 and 4 h between both groups. There was a delayed first analgesic requirement in the TAP block group in contrast to the epidural group, with decrease in the total dose of rescue analgesia in the TAP block group than the epidural group.

Conclusion
TAP block presents greater effectivity than lumbar epidural block in curing postoperative aches in patients having lower abdominal surgeries regarding pain intensity, time of first analgesic necessity, and total dose of rescue analgesia.

The aim of this article is to study the production of doctoral theses on foreign languages, from our point of view as Spanish speakers, conducted in Andalusia from 2010 to 2021 in order to collect the total number of dissertations and the diachronic distribution; to describe the production per universities, authors and directors according to the gender; and to gather the descriptors most used. Results show that, during the period 2010 to 2021, Andalusian public universities recorded 266 dissertations on FL. The annual average is of 22.16 doctoral theses per year. The representation of women in the authorship of dissertations is 175 (65.78 %), as opposed to 91 men (34.22 %). The participation in the direction of such PhD theses is 51.45 % for women and 48.55 % for men. In accordance with the composition of the direction, doctoral theses were supervised in equal percentage by both only women and (41.35 %) and only men (41.35 %). Mixed direction reached 17.29 %. The amount of 117 different descriptors was gathered. The most used keyword is translation and interpreting (22.7 %). In conclusion, a decrease in the doctoral production on FL was found at Andalusian universities as of 2016. The authorship reveals that FL is a feminised field. In addition, it has been confirmed that mixed co-directions are unusual in this area.
Community Perception of The Causes of The Tsunami Disaster In Pandeglang Regency and Palu City, Indonesia
Authors: Kurniadi Anwar 
Published: December 2022

The tsunami disaster resulted in many casualties, facilities and infrastructure, property, and environmental damage in both Pandeglang Regency and Palu City. As a result of this suffering, it is likely that this will become the basis for informants to express their perceptions about the causes of the tsunami disaster. A good understanding of the public's perception of the causes of the tsunami disaster will make it easier to understand the relationship between nature, humans, society, and capacities as well as how to overcome adverse impacts before the tsunami disaster strikes. This study aims to analyze community perceptions about the causes of the tsunami disaster in Pandeglang Regency and Palu Municipality. The research method uses a qualitative phenomenological design. The data collection method used in-depth interviews, direct field observations, and documentation to analyze what was revealed by 10 informants based on their knowledge and experience when affected by the tsunami disaster. The results showed that the causes of the tsunami disaster were the wrath of God, fate or fatalism factors, and natural factors. The fate factor or fatalism is a view that agrees to give up before fighting. This can disrupt the tsunami disaster management process using the new Paradigm. The new paradigm is to prioritize efforts to reduce the risk of tsunami disasters by making people and local governments aware in the form of disaster prevention measures. The action is to conduct a disaster risk assessment and make a contingency plan before the arrival of the tsunami disaster.

Published: December 2022

The Narcotics Law has guaranteed arrangements for medical and social rehabilitation efforts for Narcotics Abusers and Addicts where judges do not sentence prison sentences but sentence them to undergo rehabilitation. The application of such a law will of course make this country not like it is now where prisons are over capacity, prisons become a center for the distribution of narcotics and other criminal offenses due to abusers being imprisoned. Arrangements regarding medical and social rehabilitation cannot be separated from the philosophical basis existence of state as stated in 1945 Constitution Republic of Indonesia. The constitution, which contains the Pancasila philosophy, clearly emphasizes that state must provide protection for all Indonesians, including providing health protection. Thus, the nature rehabilitation arrangements as one of goals in Narcotics Law is protection of citizens and nation building.

Published: December 2022

In a typical hot arid climate, heat gains throughout the building envelope are responsible for more than 70% of the total thermal load. Furthermore, the thermal behavior of a building depends on the formal and constructive choices implemented in the envelope design. Since the envelope is exposed to outdoor conditions, it is crucial to give a major interest to the thermal characteristics of its structural components (i.e., walls, roof and windows). These elements are in charge of thermal exchanges between the building and its environment that occurs by heat transmission, thermal heat storage, solar heat gain and air infiltration. In return, implementing proper climatic responsive design strategies could potentially improve the envelope thermal performance while significantly reducing the building’s energy needs. The present study addresses the thermal behavior of the envelope under hot arid climate conditions by focusing on residential buildings. The research was conductuted in the city of Biskra (Algeria); it deals with the thermal investigation of the urban individual self-produced houses as the most widespread housing type in Ageria. The study explores the potential of improving the climatic adaptability of the envelope while respecting the specific characteristics of this self-produced dwelling. To achieve this goal, optimization scenarios of the building envelope were examined by implementing a set of selected passive design strategies. The process of optimisation was initiated by performing a simulation using TRNSYS 17 software, followed by a sensitivity analysis of the envelope design elements relating to their material characteristics (architectural and constructive to evaluate their effect in regulating indoor air temperatures and providing comfort condition. The results demonstrate significant improvements in the thermal responsive of the envelope and a consequent decrease in indoor temperatures. Moreover, the study defines the most prominent strategies in the process of optimization of the envelope. Accordingly, using suitable constructive systems and materials for walls and roofs in addition to adequate orientation and judicious ratios of openings, while implementing insulation and exterior light colors found to be the most efficient design strategies.
