Abstract

Background: Prevention of Coronary Heart Disease by identifying risk factors facilitates the planning ofprevention interventions. The prevalence of non-communicable disease (NCD) increases with one of therisk factors for NCD being an unbalanced diet. Dawood’s fasting is one of the sunnah fastings that can bedone at any time except at times that are forbidden to fast. This fast is a combination model of TRF and ADF(modified ADF = MADF).Objective: To prove that MADF for six consecutive weeks can increase levels of the hormone ?-endorphinsand reduce levels of the hormone cortisol in peripheral blood circulation.Materials and Methods: Quasi-experimental research with a comparative design of a non-equivalentcontrol group with a population of PP students. Hidayatullah Surabaya with the purposive sampling methoduntil the number of samples required was met as many as 34 people and divided into two groups, namelycontrol and MADF treatment for six consecutive weeks. Sampling was carried out at the pre-test, at the endof the third week for the middle and at the post-test. All subjects in both groups received the same nutritiontwice a day for 42 days. The subject gets spiritual motivation from competent resource persons to givespiritual spark twice.Result: Dawood’s fasting (MADF) for six consecutive weeks did not cause significant differences comparedto control on cortisol and ?-endorphins (p> 0.05). However, Dawood’s fasting (MADF) for six consecutiveweeks decreased the mean values of cortisol levels due to the effect of fasting, although there was also asignificant difference in the control group. Meanwhile the ?-endorphins mean values was increased at themiddle of study, and then decreased at the end of the study, with a significant difference in the both groupbefore and after treatment.Conclusion: There was no difference in cortisol and ?-endorphins levels in healthy young adult subjectsundergoing Dawood’s fast due to the influence of the same environmental conditions and a change in thesincerity of the subjects.

Abstract

Objective: Calcium hydroxide is widely used as pulp-capping material, but it is resistant to Aggregatibacteractinomycetemcomitans bacteria. Because of this deficiency, many researchers are considering usingalternative natural ingredients, such as propolis. Propolis has been widely used in dentistry due to itsproperties and because it has active ingredients that can act as antibacterial agents. It is hoped that whencalcium hydroxide and propolis are combined, the combination can overcome the disadvantages. The aim ofthis study was to determine the dosage effectiveness of the combination calcium hydroxide-propolis as aninhibitor for A. actinomycetemcomitans biofilm. Material and methods: The sample was divided into fivegroups. The positive control group is a combination of calcium hydroxide-sterile aquadest, and the negativecontrol group is A. actinomycetemcomitans bacteria. Group I is a combination of calcium hydroxidepropolis with a ratio of 1:1, group II has a ratio of 1:1.5, and group III has a ratio of 1:2. Each group consistsof five replications. Combination of calcium hydroxide-propolis and A. actinomycetemcomitans bacterialsuspension was incubated for 2x24 hours then washed three times using PBS. Furthermore, 2% of crystalviolet was used for staining and covered with aluminum foil and then incubated for 15 minutes. Isopropanol200µL was added, followed by a measurement of OD with an ELISA reader, and the OD values werecalculated using an inhibition biofilm formula. Results: Group II has the largest mean inhibition with 76%compared to groups one and three. Conclusion: A combination of calcium hydroxide and propolis with aratio of 1: 1.5 is more effective than 1:1 or 1:2 to inhibit A. actinomycetemcomitans biofilm.

Abstract

Background: Propolis is a resinous hive product collected by bees from tree buds and mixed with secretedbee wax to both avoid bacterial contamination in the hive and seal it. It is known to have a wide spectrumof pharmacological properties, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal abilities. Apoptosis tests were performed on odontoblast cells in rats (Rattus novegicus) to assessthe viability of propolis extract and caffeic acid phenetyl esters (CAPE) as alternative candidates for pulpcapping agents in conservative dentistry treatment. Objective: To examine the apoptosis activity of propolisextract and CAPE as capping materials on odontoblast cells. Methods: This study was designed as a posttest only control group laboratory experiment. The rats were randomly divided into three groups. Pulpexposures were performed on the occlusal surface of the right maxillary first molars. In the first group, thecontrol group, glass ionomer cement (GIC) was directly applied to the pulp exposure. In the second group,the sample group, propolis extract was applied to the pulp exposure, and in the third group, CAPE wasapplied to the pulp exposure. All cavities were then filled with GIC as a permanent filling. Animals weresacrificed on the first and fourteenth days. The direct counting method of histological examination was basedon the apoptotic odontoblasts, using the terminal deoxyribonucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling(TUNEL) assay technique. Result: There was a greater number of apoptotic odontoblasts in the controlgroup, followed by the CAPE group and, lastly, the propolis extract group. Conclusion: The apoptosisactivity of the propolis extract is lower than that of CAPE.

Abstract

Stroke is one of the leading causes of death in India. Around 2 million Indians suffer from stroke everyyear in India, and the most important cause of severe adult disability. Stroke not only severely affectsan individual’s quality of life, but also their caretaker’s. This burden can result in a deterioration of thecaretaker’s health, social life, and psychological well being such as, emotional health, morale, work life,finances, social mobility, interpersonal relationship and their own family. Here in this study, the quality oflife of 50 stroke patients and their caretaker staying in a tertiary care hospital in Chennai, South India, isassessed using a pretested and validated questionnaire EuroQol EQ-5D-5L which contains questions in 5domains in which each dimensions having five response levels and The EQ-VAS scale which records therespondent’s overall current health on the day of examination on a vertical visual analogue scale from 0-100.The data were entered and coded in Microsoft Excel and analysed based on their frequency, proportion,and severity. About 80% of stroke patients return home after the acute hospitalization and at least onehalf of them require permanent or temporary help from other people in the home setting. Many caregiverssuffer from anxiety/ depression. This study will be useful in analysing the QOL of the patient’s and theircaretaker’s and provide us a new perspective in not only treating the physical aspects of stroke but also itspsychological impact.

Abstract

Background & Objectives:Acute pain is common after cardiac surgery and can keep patients fromparticipating in activities that prevent postoperative complications especially respiratory complications.Accurate assessment and understanding of pain are vital for providing satisfactory pain control andoptimizing recovery.Our aim of the study was to compare pain relief and post-operative outcome in patients receiving Tramadolvia Thoracic epidural versus intravenous method in coronary artery bypass graft surgery.Methodology: Sixty patients aging 40-65 years posted for off pump coronary artery bypass graft surgerywere selected. They were randomly assigned into two groups.Group IVA (n = 30) received Inj. Tramadol(1 mg/kgiv)and Group TEA (n = 30) received Tramadol 0.5 mg/kgepidurallyhalf an hour before shiftingin cardiac recovery room. Hemodynamic parameters like Heart rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressure,pulmonary artery pressure were recorder for 72 hours postoperatively. We have compared extubation timein both the groups. Pain was assessed by visual analogue scale (VAS). Any patients with the VAS more than4 were treated with rescue analgesic. Duration of analgesia and total no. of rescue analgesia were recorded.Duration of stay in cardiac recovery room and in hospital was also recorded.Observation & Results: We have observed statistically significant difference in hemodynamic parametersbetween two groups with better stability in TEA group from shifting till next 72 hours. Extubation time wasalso earlier in TEA group. Mean duration of analgesia and VAS score was also better TEA group. All theseled to shorter length of cardiac recovery stay and earlier discharge from the hospital with less complication.Conclusion: Thoracic epidural analgesia is better than intravenous technique in terms of earlyextubation,maintaining hemodynamic stability and better postoperative analgesia with reduced length ofcardiac recovery and hospital stay.

Abstract

Sex determination is one of the basic components in victim identification. There are many available methods,namely forensic anthropology method and conventional DNA typing method. In this study, nested PCRtechnique was employed in sex typing of burnt teeth through amelogenin (AMEL) and sex-determiningregion Y (SRY) markers. In this study, 17 teeth samples were burnt at temperatures that ranged from 100°Cto 500°C for 2 min - 10 min. The whole tooth was used for DNA extraction by phenol-chloroform method.Accurate sex determination was achieved in 13 samples by both AMEL and SRY markers. The SRY markerachieved higher sensitivity as compared to AMEL marker. The sensitivity of both markers was improvedconsequent to nested PCR. Factors such as degraded DNA materials and the presence of tooth caries greatlyaffect sex typing results. Results showed that nested PCR proved to be a good method to amplify highlydegraded DNA material as it greatly increased the DNA copy, and thus increased the possibility of sextyping.
