Abstract
A new airborne transmittable disease, coronavirus (COVID-19), was discovered by China in late December 2019. The virus is spread by direct contact with infected people’s respiratory droplets (from coughing and sneezing) and virus-infected surfaces. COVID-19 can survive for hours on surfaces, but disinfectants can kill it. Pathogens have evolved and become resistant to conventional drugs and disinfectants. This proposed new approach using TiO2 for infectious diseases is needed to outwit these cunning saboteurs. Nanotechnology creates a unique way to modify material at the level of atoms and particles. Nanotechnology has enabled self-cleaning surfaces based on the advanced oxidation process (AOP). The outside is coated with a thin layer of nanosized TiO2 (titanium dioxide) photocatalyst. UV rays stimulate nano TiO2 and initiate AOP. The process reactions lead to the formation of oxygen vacancies in surface-bound water particle surfaces. Because of copper doping (1 % Weight of copper and 0.5 % Weight of copper), the bandgap is minimized and excitation occurs at visible light. Consequently, these photocatalyst surfaces have changed properties. Microorganisms are inactivated, excess toxins are degraded, and pollutants are removed. Toilet seats, floors, hospitals, homes, airports, railways, and road terminals can all be coated with TiO2. Microorganisms can be killed by TiO2-coated or TiO2 doped with copper. These purify the air in hospitals. They can also be used to kill microorganisms on road pavements. They can also be used to coat intravenous masks and catheters to stop COVID-19.

Published: June 2022

Mineral fillers in asphalt concrete have improved the mix design qualities significantly. However, the high cost, scarcity, adverse impact towards environment and the inability of conventiona filller to enhance mixtures performance due to the increase in traffic loading have necessitated an investigation into viable alternatives in manufacturing asphalt concrete. Thus, researchers have been looking into using agricultural waste in asphalt pavements to improve sustainability and pavement performance. Waste rice straw (WRS) is a high-volume agricultural waste often burnt for electricity or discarded. In this study, WRS ash (WRSA) was sourced locally, incinerated, ball-milled, and sieved to pass BS sieve No.200 to generate fine powder WRSA, which can be utilised as the surrogate mineral filler. This study evaluated the effect of utilising WRSA as a partial substitute of mineral filler on the volumetric and Marshall properties of the WRSA modified asphalt mixtures. The tests were conducted on a series of asphalt concrete specimens prepared based on Marshall's design with the optimal bitumen content for all varying substitution percentages 0 (control), 25, 50, 75, and 100% WRSA and, the engineering properties of the asphalt mixtures were investigated. The study outcomes show that using WRSA as a surrogate filler inmproves asphalt concrete's Marshall stability and quotients value by 33% and 61% at the optimal replacement of 75%. Based on the result, it can be clinched that WRSA can be incorporated as a filler surrogate to promote sustainability.

Background. Carpal tunnel syndrome is the most common compression mononeuropathy. The choice of the preferred conservative treatment method is still relevant, especially for the patients with the moderate severity of the disease. Objective: to perform a comparative study of the effectiveness of local injection therapy and wrist splinting in idiopathic moderate carpal tunnel syndrome; to assess the duration of the clinical effect in the follow‑up period to 6 months. Materials and methods. The study included 105 cases of moderate idiopathic carpal tunnel syndrome. Patients were randomized to 2 groups depending on the treatment method: the main group (n = 54) received 1 or 2 ultrasound‑guided injections with glucocorticosteroid (betamethasone 5 mg + 2 mg/1.0 ml) and lidocaine 2 % 1.0 ml into the carpal canal; the control group (n = 51) was assigned wrist splinting at night for 1 month. The primary criterion for therapy effectiveness was evaluation by clinical scales (SSS, FSS, LANSS, Visual Analogue Scale) after 1 month from the treatment initiation. A secondary criterion for the therapy effectiveness was the assessment of changes in electrophysiological and neurosonographic parameters.Results. The scores for SSS, FSS, LANSS and Visual Analogue Scale were significantly lower at 1 month in the injection therapy group than in the splinting group (p <0.0001). A significant change in the electrophysiological parameters of the median nerve (a decrease the distal motor and sensory latency, an increase in the Mand S‑response amplitude, an increase in sensory conduction velocity on the hand) and a significant decrease in the cross‑sectional area of the median nerve at the level of the pisiform bone was noted only in the local injection therapy group. The average duration of the local injection therapy clinical effect surpassed the splinting one and reached 4 months.Conclusion. After 1 month from the start of the treatment, the local injection therapy demonstrated a higher clinical efficacy compared to the wrist splinting, the average duration of the effect reached 4 months. This conservative treatment method is preferred for the patients with moderate idiopathic carpal tunnel syndrome.

Published: June 2022

Background. Numerous publications have noted the piano of unequal‑muscular relations arising in the process of vocalization, and described intra‑laryngeal sensitive (afferent) and motor (efferent) nerve endings. Pari estomp a significant part of the efferent pathways are vegetative nerve fibers that control the ulcer trophic state of the tissue substrate and have a direct effect on the muscles of the larynx, changing the metabolism of muscle cells.Objective: to analyze the features of vegetative innervation of the larynx in the area of vocal folds on the sectional material.Materials and methods. In the study of vegetative innervation of the mucous membrane and laryngeal muscles, we used the material obtained in sectional studies of 28 people who died as a result of injuries incompatible with life, opt cardiovascular insufficiency and opt pneumonia at the age of 54–85 years, in whom there were no life‑threatening ENT diseases. Adrenergic nerve fibers were detected by the Bjerklund method modified by V.N. Shvalev and N.I. Zhuchkova, and cholinergic nerve fibers were studied using the Karnovsky–Roots method based on incubation of sections in a solution of a specific substrate.Results. Adrenergic and cholinergic nerve conductors, as a rule, use common ways of penetration into the larynx under the walker of blood vessels and as part of the laryngeal nerves. Onyx are localized in the mucous membrane and muscles of the larynx and have reduce features. Autonomic nerve structures located in the muscles are observed directly in the middle of the muscle fibers.Conclusion. The abundance of adrenergic and cholinergic nerve fibers and endings, combining different structural elements of the larynx into a single morphofunctional complex, is the material main influence of vegetative nervous system over the folded mechanism of voice formation and over the processes of voice disorders in various diseases.

Published: June 2022

The delta variant of COVID-19 also known as B.1.617.2 is more contagious than the alpha variant and henceforth this variant has led to a sudden spike in the cases of COVID-19 all over the world. It is indeed a matter of surprise that in countries where most of the population were vaccinated, still there was an upturn in the number of COVID-19 infections. Though some of the vaccine companies have reported that their vaccine can effectively provide shielding against this variant too, but still we need to understand why is this variant more transmissible and how did it became a dominant strain in such a short span of time and what are the measures that can be taken to prevent the most widely spread delta-variant of this virus. An overall review regarding the delta B.1.617.2 variant along with its pathogenicity is done in this article.

Autotransplantation of conoid maxillary third molar in upper incisive site: A reliable aesthetic solution
Authors: Arcari Matteo , Tagliatesta Luigi , Lorenzoni Marco 
Published: June 2022

In the management of anterior dental trauma, the maintenance of the traumatized elements has to be preferred, but sometimes this results impracticable. Among different options, autotransplantation provides an adequate therapeutic solution, particularly in crowded arches, in presence of supernumerary elements or when third molars with a root anatomy compatible with the recipient site are available.: This paper presents a case of autotransplantation of a conoid upper third molar (1.8) inside the alveolus of a central incisor undergone at root resorption, after a long time maintenance of the traumatized element 2.1 and different treatments. Furthermore, a comparison of the therapeutic alternatives is proposed. : Due to their root anatomy, premolars and supernumerary monoradiculated teeth are adequate to be transplanted in incisors’ sockets. In the presented case, the presence of a conoid third molar consented the transplantation of the latter, which represented a more conservative treatment than transplanting a premolar. The use of a 3D-printed replica made through a CBCT scan permitted the substantial reduction of the extra alveolar time, avoiding the periodontal ligament contamination and guaranteeing a higher success rate. Due to the complete formation of the donor tooth, root canal treatment was carried out. Autotransplantation represents a valid and biological alternative in the management of traumas of the anterior dental trauma.

Purpose. To determine the clinical and laboratory features of the course of acute pyelonephritis in children with a history of COVID-19 and to determine the risk of developing chronic kidney disease.Material and methods. The main cohort consisted of 36 patients with the debut of acute pyelonephritis, who had previously suffered COVID-19, the average age was 7,5 years. The comparison group included 47 patients with the onset of acute pyelonephritis and a normal level of IgG antibodies to SARS-CoV-2, the average age was 7,0 years. Laboratory tests included full blood count and urinalysis, blood biochemistry, procalcitonin, urine microalbumin, urine creatinine, Zimnitsky urine test, bacteriological urine test, glomerular filtration rate, coagulogram, and Lipocalin-2 associated with neutrophil gelatinase (NGAL) in the urine.Results. Patients with a history of COVID-19, at the onset of acute pyelonephritis, demonstrated a higher incidence of apostematous pyelonephritis, a higher degree of damage to the tubulointerstitial kidney tissue, a high frequency and a higher level of hematuria, proteinuria, hyperfiltration, hypostenuria, as well as a more significant increase in fibrinogen, CRP, procalcitonin, and uNGAL/Cr levels than children of the comparison group. It was shown that almost half of the children with acute pyelonephritis who had had COVID-19 retained urinary syndrome during examination 3–4 months after the onset of the disease.Conclusion. Thus, long-term effects of the SARS-CoV-2 virus on the renal parenchyma were confirmed, even in asymptomatic children. The high level of uNGAL/Cr in children with acute pyelonephritis who had had COVID-19, which was almost 8 times higher than in the comparison group, reflects more pronounced damage to the tubulointerstitial kidney tissue. The risk of developing chronic kidney disease in this group was 3,5 times higher.

It is known the blood pressure in children at rest depend on height, but this fact has not been considered during the exercise stress test.Purpose. To determine the maximum value of blood pressure in young elite athletes, depending on the height and gender.Characteristics of children and research methods. The study examined 2313 young elite athletes, members of the national teams of the Russian Federation in 40 sports disciplines (average age — (15,5 ± 1,4) years; 45% of young men). All subjects underwent PWC170 cycle ergometry, blood pressure was measured manually at each stage of testing, and its maxima were registered throughout the testing.Results. The maximum blood pressure values in boys were higher than in girls: systolic blood pressure (195 ± 25) vs (175 ± 20) mmHg, p<0,001, diastolic blood pressure (80 ± 11) vs (80 ± 10) mmHg, p<0,05. There was relationship between the maximum value of the blood pressure on exercise and height (r=0,55; p<0,001). There were proposed normative tables for the maximum values of systolic blood pressure during exercise, depending on height.Conclusion. In the young elite athletes, the maximum value of blood pressure during stress test depends not only on the gender, but also on the height. The maximum values of systolic blood pressure during exercise in tall young elite athletes can reach 250 mmHg in boys and 210 mmHg in girls.
