Abstract

Background: Forensic Odontology is a rapidly evolving branch of dentistry which deals with theidentification of an individual. In instances of deceased individual, establishing identity may still posedifficulties depending upon the time that has elapsed since death. The oral structures can reliably be usedfor establishing identity of the deceased as they are preserved for long after death. The mandibular foramenis amongst the core structures & has been used for age estimation with reliable degree of accuracy usingradiographs which is a non-invasive and easily reproducible technique. Hence we decided to assess itsimportance in establishing gender. Methods: Digital Orthopantomograph (OPG) were used for the study asthey are taken for all dental procedures and can be preserved as records and may facilitate comparison ofante-mortem and post-mortem records. Various dimensions from the mandibular foramen were recorded.Conclusion: We found statistically significant correlation of Anteroposterior and Posteroanterior dimensionsin position of mandibular foramen to gender.

Abstract

Undernutrition due to inappropriate feeding practices for children increases morbidity. Breastfeeding isconsidered the most important in a baby's growth and development. Breastfeeding started within one hour ofbirth and was maintained exclusively for the first six months until one year of age or more to obtain optimalbenefits. The study aims to determine the ecological relationship between undernutrition in 2-year-old infantand breastfeeding practice in Indonesia. This study is based on environmental analysis using a report of the2018 Indonesia Basic Health Survey. The dependent variable was the prevalence of undernutrition in 2-yearoldinfant. Besides, the independent variables were four optimum breastfeeding practices. The analysisused bivariate analysis with scatter plot in statistic application. The study results show . The higher theproportion of early initiation of breastfeeding in a province, the lower the levels of undernutrition in childrenaged two years in that province. The higher the ratio of starting to breastfeed less than one hour in an area,the lower the undernutrition levels in children aged two years in that area. On the other side, the higher theproportion of the mother giving all colostrum in a province, the lower the undernutrition levels in childrenaged two years in Indonesia in that province. The higher the proportion of still being breastfed 0-23 monthsin a region, the lower the undernutrition levels in children aged two years in that region. The study concludedthat optimal breastfeeding practices negatively affect the levels of undernutrition in children aged two years.

Abstract

In this study, series of hybrid emulsion copolymers with different composition ratios of acrylic acid, methylacrylicacid with butyle-acrylate, methyl-metha-acrylate, polyvinyl alcohol were generated. The preparationwas performed in a batch reactor on an industrial scale to obtain the resulting resin. While applying variousprocesses of emulsion polymerization, batch polymerization was chosen to find optimum conditions byinvestigating the parameters of the monomer percentages, initiators, temperature and time. Dodecyl BenzeneSulphonic acid SDBA as emulsifier, as well as sodium dodecyl sulfonic acid SDBAS as co-emulsifier asredox couple initiator have been chosen as the best and most effective initiators to hybrid acrylic resinprocessing Water-dispersed acrylic resin was developed as a hydrophilic monomer, utilizing acrylic acid.To avoid gelatin and agglomeration, the reaction temperature of the acrylic resin preparation was takenfor 4 hours at 70oC. To understand the effect of silane coupling agent on the properties of hybrid emulsioncopolymers, in the presence of trimetyl-chloro saline. FTIR spectroscopy, 1HNMR spectra, thermal analysisas well as mechanical tests were widely studied confirmation of the hybrid acrylic resins. The various physicchemicalproperties of hybrid emulsion acrylic copolymers including density, viscosity, chemical resistanceand volatile matter were studied. The results show that hybrid emulsion acrylic copolymers are readilysoluble in aprotic polar solvents such as (Toluene, Acetone, Benzene, xylene, DMF, DMSO, Methanol, andethanol) without being in need for heating. The emulsion copolymers obtained had a great solid content aswell as have been used as binder in emulsion paints. These polymers have very useful properties such ashigh anticorrosive and chemical resistance, the experimental results reveal.

Abstract

Abstract: Pregnant women who believe themselves have capabilities to cope with childbirth, they feel ableto control labor stress. On the other hand, if they believe themselves uncappable to cope with labor, theycannot control labor stress and may choose cesarean delivery.Objectives: To evaluate women’s self-efficacy of childbirth and find out the association between women’sself-efficacy and study variables.Methods: Descriptive study of non-probability (purposive sample) was used to collect the data from (100)women. A pilot-test was conducted to determine the reliability of the questionnaire. Data were analyzedthrough the use of SPSS.Results: The higher percentage of women’s age was (20-29) years graduated from secondary school. Aboutone-third of them in gestational age 32 weeks. More than two-thirds of them are preferred cesarean birth.They have a low childbirth self-efficacy. There are significant differences between women’s age, education,occupation, delivery preference, and childbirth self-efficacy.Conclusion: This study finds that primigravida women have low childbirth self-efficacy, and there aresignificant differences between women’s self-efficacy with the demographic and reproductive variables.Recommendations: Primigravida women need prenatal education and encouragement regarding labor toincrease their believe of own capability to control and cope with labor stress.

Abstract

SARS CoV-2 infection causes various clinical manifestations ranging from mild to severe. Acute RespiratoryDistress Syndrome (ARDS) is a severe complication of COVID-19 caused by activation of the kallikreinkininsystem which produces bradykinin which is a potent proinflammatory mediator. This research is anin silico study which aims to determine the potential of active medicinal plant compounds in inhibiting thekallikrein-kinin system.Molecular docking in this study using Autodock 4.2 with Lamarckian GA criteria.Human plasma kallikrein (PDB ID: 5TJX) was docked with 70 compounds and one native ligandand analyzedusing Autodock 4.2.The smallest binding energy obtained from docking 5TJX with several compoundsin sequence, namely, xanthohumol, nafamostat, demethoxycurcumin, epicatechingallate, beta mangostin,alpha mangostin (-9.52, -9.35, -9.33, -9.28, -9.19, -9.06 kcal/mol). Therefore, the compound shows the bestpotential as a plasma kallikrein inhibitor. However, further research is still needed to determine the potentialof drugs and medicinal plant active compounds for medical treatment.

Abstract

Helicobacter pylori (H. Pylori) was discovered in 1982. Over 50% of the world population is infected bythis bacterium. H. Pylori is the main cause of gastritis, peptic ulcers, and gastric cancer in human. Foodswith animal origins play a substantial role in the transmission of H. Pylori. The present investigation wascarried out to study the molecular detection of H.pylori in stomach gastric tissue of the sheep.Collectingof the samples occur randomly from various area of Al-Muthana province slaughter house(AL-Muthana,AL-Khudur, AL-Rumethah)from October 2019 to February 2020 . One hundred and fifty (n 75 male, n 75female) abomasums samples were collected and dissection in aseptic manner then stored in deep freeze(Liquid nitrogen -196) until processing and analyzed for the presence of 16s RNA and VACA genotypes.This study showed that the Prevalence of H. Pylori in the gastric samples of sheep at slaughterhouses(Al-Muthana, Al-Khdur, Al-Rumethah) were (9 positives) 18 % and (7) 14%, (15) 30% respectively. Themost commonly detected genotypes in the gastric samples of slaughterhouses were 16s RNA (20.67%)in ewes(25.33%) . AL-Rumetha was the most commonly detected H. Pylori (30%). Results showed thatgastric tissue of sheep can act as a reservoir to H. Pylori and disseminate the pathogen in feces and milk thentransmitted to human during uses of unpasteurized milk ,or meat .samples could be the potential sources ofvirulent strains of H. Pylori. Application of sanitary measures in the storage, transportation and sale of meatis essential for reducing the levels of H. Pylori cross contamination.
