title: Efficacy of non-invasive diagnostic methods in the diagnosis and screening of oral cancer and precancer

description: Abstract Introduction: Traditional meta-analyses on the diagnostic accuracy of oral lesions have been conducted, but they were inherently limited to direct pairwise comparisons between a single method and a single alternative, while multiple diagnostic options and the ranking thereof were methodologically not possible. Objective: To evaluate the diagnostic values of various methods in patients with oral potential malignant disease by performing a network meta-analysis. Methods: Two authors independently searched the databases (MEDLINE, SCOPUS, the Cochrane Register of Controlled Trials, and Google scholar) up to June 2020 for studies comparing the diagnostic accuracy of various tools (autofluorescence, chemiluminescence, cytology, narrow band imaging, and toluidine blue) with visual examination or other tools. The outcomes of interest for this analysis were sensitivity, specificity, negative predictive value, positive predictive value and accuracy. Both a standard pairwise meta-analysis and network meta-analysis were conducted. Results: Treatment networks consisting of six interventions were defined for the network metaanalysis. The results of traditional meta-analysis showed that, among six methods, narrow band imaging showed higher sensitivity, specificity, negative predictive value, positive predictive value, and accuracy compared to visual examination. The results of network meta-analysis showed that autofluorescence, chemiluminescence, and narrow band imaging had higher sensitivity compared with visual examination, and that chemiluminescence and narrow band imaging had higher negative predictive value compared with visual examination. However, autofluorescence and chemiluminescence had lower specificity compared with visual examination. There were no significant differences in positive predictive value and accuracy among the six interventions. Conclusion: This study demonstrated that narrow banding imaging has superiority in terms of sensitivity and negative predictive value compared with the other five tested agents.

title: The effectiveness of propranolol, flunarizine, amitriptyline and botulinum toxin in vestibular migraine complaints and prophylaxis: a non-randomized controlled study

description: Abstract Introduction: Vestibular migraine is the most common cause of spontaneous episodic vertigo in adult patients and the second most common cause of vertigo in patients of all ages. Objective: To assess the effectiveness of oral medication type (propranolol, flunarizine, and amitriptyline) and botulinum toxin A application on vestibular symptoms, headache severity and attack frequency for vestibular migraine patients. Methods: Sixty patients with vestibular migraine were enrolled. Thirty patients received botulinum toxin A treatment (B+ group) in addition to the oral medication, whereas 30 patients received only oral medication (B− group). Headache severity was evaluated with Migraine Disability Assessment Scale and vertigo severity was evaluated with Dizziness Handicap Inventory scale. Vestibular migraine attack frequencies in the last three months were also evaluated. Results: There was a statistically significant decrement in mean Dizziness Handicap Inventory scores, Migraine Disability Assessment Scale scores and vertigo attack frequencies after treatment for all patients, B+ and B− group patients (p &lt; 0.001 for all). The mean Migraine Disability Assessment Scale score gains (p &lt; 0.001) and vertigo attack frequency gains (p = 0.003) were significantly higher in the B+ patients than B− patients. Conclusions: Both B+ and B− group patients exhibited significant improvement in vestibular migraine attack frequencies, Dizziness Handicap Inventory score and Migraine Disability Assessment Scale score values. However, botulinum toxin A application had a more pronounced effect for Migraine Disability Assessment Scale score gain and vestibular migraine attack frequency values, but not for Dizziness Handicap Inventory score gain values. Thus, botulinum toxin A application should be considered for vestibular migraine patients whose headache severity degrees are more profound. The oral medication type (propranolol, flunarizine or amitriptyline) did not differ in influencing the vestibular migraine attack frequency, Dizziness Handicap Inventory score gain and Migraine Disability Assessment Scale score gain values.

title: The emptiness of work

description: Abstract This article is a research report developed in the Master’s Degree in Social and Institutional Psychology and its theme is the ramifications of the emptiness on a path through the world of work. The writing of narratives of the daily work operated to open questions about the (im)possibility of doing psychology in a place full of contradictions about the meaning of what the work itself should be there. Through the creation of a character, someone, it seeks to touch on a topic that has no definite boundary, it is more about of an atmosphere, a felt-meaning. The invention of someone is the artifice for the experimentation of lives that are not limited to that lived in the first person by the researcher, allowing the passage through an impersonal place, a place as indeterminate as someone, that makes it possible to think about things that are not hidden, but neither are they visible. The emptiness of meaning experienced in the daily work opens in images/scenes that, when recounted in the written form, transform the emptiness into experience.

title: Possibilities of Using Chia Oil as an Omega-3 Source in Laying Quail Diets

description: ABSTRACT This study aims to investigate the effects of different levels of chia (Salvia Hispanica L.) seed oil supplementation as omega-3 source to the diets of laying quails on yield performance, egg quality, and egg yolk fatty acid profiles. The study was conducted including 4 treatment groups as follows: C0 (0 g/kg diet), C1 (1 g/kg diet), C2 (2 g/kg diet), and C3 (3 g/kg diet). In the study, 96 female quails at the age of 18 weeks were used and the trial was carried out for 4 weeks. As a result, it was determined that chia seed oil supplementation to the diet was not effective on feed consumption, feed conversion ratio, egg yield, or egg weight of quails, but it was effective on the yolk index of egg quality characteristics (p&lt;0.05). The most important effect of chia seed oil supplementation to the diet was determined to be on the omega-3/omega-6 ratio of egg yolk. Dietary chia seed oil increased the omega-3/omega-6 ratio (p&lt;0.01). It can be stated that increasing the level of omega-3 in the diets, positively affects the polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA)/saturated fatty acid (SFA) ratio.

title: Fracture resistance of pressed ZLS crowns versus pressed LD crowns under thermo-mechanical cycling

description: Abstract The aim of this study was conducted to assess the fracture resistance of zirconia reinforced lithium silicate all ceramic material “Celtra Press” compared to lithium disilicate one “IPS e-max Press” under simulated oral conditions. Fourteen ceramic crowns were fabricated on epoxy dies which were duplicated from stainless steel master die and divided into two equal groups (n=7) according to the material of construction; Group A: Crowns fabricated with IPS e-max Press material and Group B: Crowns fabricated with Celtra Press material. The crowns were then cemented onto their corresponding dies with a self-adhesive resin cement and subjected to thermocycling and cyclic loading. Then they were loaded to fractur in a universal testing machine. The results were tabulated and statistically analyzed using Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Shapiro-Wilk tests. Student t-test used to compare mean values. The significance level was set at P ≤ 0.05 and 95% Confidence interval. Statistical analysis was performed using Graph Pad Instat (Graph Pad, Inc.) software for windows. The mean ± SD values of fracture resistance were recorded for lithium Disilicate group (1706.01 ±154.32 N) meanwhile the mean ± SD value recorded with celtra group were (1550.67±196.71 N). Zirconia reinforced lithium silicate ceramic crowns produced comparable fracture resistance values to lithium disilicate ceramic crowns and both tested materials are within the clinically acceptable values in the posterior area.

title: A Simple Modified Technique of Pleuropericardial Window: Towards 0% Recurrence

description: ABSTRACT Recurrent pericardial effusion is commonly encountered in neoplastic and infective disorders. Intervention is compulsory in patients with unstable hemodynamics and tamponading effusion. Surgical options include: pericardiocentesis, subxiphoid pericardiostomy, and pericardial window. The latter has proved to have lower incidence of recurrence; however, the technique has been continuously refined to improve the recurrence-free survival and decrease postoperative morbidity. We herein present a novel simple modification to minimize recurrence by anchoring the free edges of pericardial fenestration overlying the superior vena cava and right atrium to the chest wall. Follow-up showed no recurrence compared to 3.5% in the conventional procedure.

title: Urban public spaces in Teresina’s new Master Plan for Territorial Planning

description: Abstract Public spaces affect urban dynamics, with implications for environmental and cultural management, the population’s well-being, and local sustainability. Thus, the correct regulation and management of urban spaces has potential for promoting the democratic place. This article analyzes the Municipal Complementary Law n. 5.481/2019 – the new Master Plan of Teresina (acronym in Portuguese: PDOT) –, mapping the approach to and the treatment of the issue of urban space. It also surveys the state-of-the-art in urban open spaces. The conclusion is that the PDOT presents protective devices for urban spaces but does not use effective tools to identify, manage and preserve urban open spaces within the scope of the municipality of Teresina.

title: The influence of cognitive tasks on sensory organization test performance

description: Abstract Introduction: Many static postural tasks requiring vestibular contributions are completed while dual- tasking. Objective: We investigated the influence of dual-tasks on sensory integration for postural control and cognitive performance during the sensory organization test and examined the relationship between cognitive function and dual-task cost during the sensory organization test. Methods: Twenty adults completed single and dual-task versions of the six conditions of the sensory organization test were completed during two visits separated by one week. A subset of 13 participants completed three National Institute of Health (NIH)-toolbox cognitive tests including the Flanker inhibitory control and attention test, dimensional change card sort test and pattern comparison processing speed test. Wilcoxon signed rank tests were used to compare postural sway during single and dual-task sensory organization test. Friedman’s test, with pairwise comparison post-hoc tests, was used to compare single task serial subtraction performance to the 6 dual-task sensory organization test conditions. Spearman’s correlation coefficients were used to assess the relationship between cognitive performance on NIH-toolbox test and postural and cognitive dual-task cost during the sensory organization test. Results: Performing a cognitive dual-task during the sensory organization test resulted in a significant increase in postural sway during condition 1 (Z = −3.26, p = 0.001, ES = 0.73), condition 3 (Z = −2.53, p = 0.012, ES = 0.56), and condition 6 (Z = −2.02, p = 0.044, ES = 0.45). Subtraction performance significantly decreased in during condition 6 (Z = −2.479, p = 0.011, ES = 0.55) compared to single-task. The dimensional change card sort test demonstrated moderate correlations with dual-task cost of serial subtraction performance in condition 5 (dimensional change card sort test: r = −0.62, p = 0.02) and condition 6 (dimensional change card sort test: r= −0.56, p = 0.04). Pattern comparison processing speed test scores were significantly correlated with dual-task cost of postural control during condition 2. Conclusion: Performing a cognitive task during the sensory organization test resulted in significantly increased postural sway during three conditions, particularly during visual environment manipulation oppose to vestibular and somatosensory manipulation. Cognitive performance decreased during the most complex sensory organization test condition. Additionally, we found participants with poorer executive function had greater dual-task cost during more complex sensory integration demands.
