Abstract:
This descriptive study aimed to determine the extent of awareness of various stakeholders on the Vision and Mission Statements of Cavite State University, Teacher Education Department Goals, and Education Program Objectives (VMGO), the acceptability level of the VMGO statements of the University, and the level of perception on the VMGO’s congruency and alignment to curricular education activities, operations, and projects. The study which was conducted at Cavite State University Imus Campus was able to yield data from 817 internal and external stakeholders. Results reveal that both the internal and external stakeholders are highly aware of the VMGO of the University and its dissemination in various forms of media. Moreover, they highly understand and accept the VMGO statements. Likewise, their perceptions include strong agreement that the VMGO statements are clearly stated and highly congruent and aligned with the University policies and curricular activities of the Teacher Education Department programs.

Abstract:
The study was conducted at the Cavite State University-Naic. It aimed to assess the existing electronic class record (e-class record) used by the faculty members, problems encountered by teachers on the use of e-class record; and recommend solutions for teachers and administrators to solve problems encountered in the use of e-class record. The statistics used were weighted mean, ranking, frequency distribution, and percentile. In the assessment, faculty members believed that using the electronic class record lessens the amount of time spent by teachers in grade computation. They also believed that the e-class record made their computation easier with a weighted mean of 4.62. All faculty members favored the benefits of using the electronic class record. Meanwhile, the lowest mean of 3.79 is on the use of electronic class records to help update students about their academic strengths and weaknesses. Most of the recommended solutions in the survey were agreed upon by the teachers. First on the rank was that there should be an immediate response from technical personnel regarding problems with the computer system. The second was the conduct of regular updates of the e-class record. The third was to provide adequate computer facilities such as printers and computers for the faculty to encode their grades. And last on the recommendation was the conduct of training on basic computer skills.

Abstract:
In the prevention oforal diseases, dental hygienic status, proper oral hygiene, the proper choice ofmeans and methodsfor performing hygienic dental activities are essential. However, even among future doctors, the hygienic state of the oral cavity leaves much to be desired. Basic knowledge of oral hygiene and the principles ofprevention ofdental diseases are necessary for physicians of various specialties, since there is often a relationship between dental diseases and diseases of other organs and systems of the body. The article gives an assessment of the hygienic status of students of different courses and identifies the sources that they use to gain knowledge on oral care.

Abstract:
A great burden is put on healthcare systems by dental caries and understanding patients’ treatment needs is of utmost importance. The aim of this pre–post study was to assess dental anxiety and the psychological stress induced by two different types of dental treatment (prophylaxis and cavity preparation), by combining psychometric evaluations with salivary biomarkers, in a group of 28 schoolchildren presenting in a university clinic. Pre- and post-treatment unstimulated whole saliva was collected and levels of cortisol, alpha-amylase (sAA) and total protein content were measured. The State–Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children and the Frankl Behaviour Rating Scale (FBRS) were applied. Statistical analysis was performed using the Stata/IC 16 (StataCorp) programme. All salivary parameters showed strong positive correlations between pre- and post-treatment levels. Post-treatment, salivary cortisol decreased (p = 0.008, paired t-test), sAA did not change significantly (p = 0.572, sign test), while the sAA/cortisol ratio (AOC) increased (p = 0.036, sign test). There were no correlations between state and trait anxiety levels. State anxiety scores registered significantly higher values for children with an FBRS score of 3 compared with a score of 4 (p < 0.001, unpaired t-test). The post-treatment decrease in the salivary cortisol level was higher for prophylaxis compared with the cavity preparation group (p = 0.024, t-test). These results demonstrate that sAA and cortisol levels are altered differently by psychological stress induced by two different types of dental treatment.

Abstract:
Annotation. The work is devoted to the study of the psychoemotional state of patients with tumors of the oral cavity. The aim of the study was to find out the manifestations of physical problems, such as pain and difficulty swallowing, as influencing factors on psycho-emotional stress and as a result of reducing the quality of life in patients with oncology of the oral cavity and oropharynx in the pre- and postoperative period. An analysis of the psycho-emotional state (according to the Hospital Anxiety Depression Scale (HADS)), pain syndrome (using a visual analogue scale (VASH, Visual Analogue Scale, VAS)), and the presence of dysphagia (according to the classification developed and tested by us) of 34 patients with oncopathology of the oral cavity before and after treatment was carried out. In the postoperative period, patients are divided into two groups depending on the type of analgesia. Statistical processing of the obtained data was carried out using Excel software from the Microsoft Office 2003 package, STATISTICA 5.5 (belongs to the Central Scientific Research Institute of National Pirogov Memorial Medical University, Vinnytsya, license number AXXR910A374605FA) according to the Student’s criterion at p<0.05. The obtained results of the study indicate that long-term postoperative analgesia has a positive effect on the reduction of pain syndrome, restoration of swallowing and correction of the psycho-emotional state. Thus, the detection of a malignant tumor in the oral cavity and oropharynx in itself leads to severe psychological stress. Moreover, psychological health deteriorates sharply if the development of a tumor is accompanied by pain, impaired swallowing, and sleep. Therefore, high-quality analgesia leads to the elimination of pain syndrome and improvement of swallowing, which in turn has a positive effect on the psycho-emotional state of the patient in the postoperative period.

Abstract:
The objectives of this study were to investigate potential relationships between pretreatment patient-mix characteristics, treatment modalities, and costs generated during the pretreatment work-up, treatment, and 1-year follow-up periods for patients with oral cavity cancer (OCC). Another objective was to identify potential areas for cost reduction and improved resource allocation in the management of OCC patients. Using a retrospective cohort of 73 patients with OCC, pretreatment patient-mix characteristics and treatment modalities were evaluated in relation to university-based charges incurred during the pretreatment evaluation, treatment, and 1 -year follow-up periods. Simple regression and stepwise multiple regression analyses were used to develop predictive models for cost based on independent variables, including age, AJCC TNM clinical stage, smoking history, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) class, comorbidity as defined by the Kaplan-Feinstein grade and treatment modality. The dependent measurements included all physician, office, and hospital charges incurred at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics during the pretreatment evaluation, treatment, and follow-up periods, as well as the total pretreatment through 1-year follow-up management costs. Independent variables that were identified as being significantly associated with treatment costs included T classification, N classification, TNM stage, unimodality versus multimodality treatment, and the Kaplan-Feinstein comorbidity grade. Age, smoking status, and ASA class were not significantly associated with costs. The majority of the OCC management costs were incurred during the treatment period. The most substantial decreases in management costs for OCC will be realized through measures that allow identification and treatment of disease at an early stage, in which single-modality treatment may effectively be used. Resource allocation for OCC should support the investigation of measures through which the diagnosis and treatment of OCC at the earliest possible stage is facilitated. The presence of comorbid illness is a significant component in the determination of management costs for OCC and should be included in analyses of resource allocation for OCC. The singular diagnosis of OCC encompasses a wide range of patient illness severity, and diagnosis-related reimbursement schemes for OCC treatment should optimally differentiate between early and advanced stage disease.

Abstract:
The Pinelands National Reserve is one of the most integrated regional planning regimes for conservation in the world. Environmental protection is overlapped by the State Pinelands Area, the Pinelands National Reserve, and the New Jersey Pinelands Biosphere Reserve (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization). Stockton University, a 4-year state university with an 800-hectare campus operates within this mix of preservation and working landscape. In the Environmental Studies program, faculty engage students in the outdoor classroom to study the complexities of balancing development and conservation. This case highlights the creation of the first National Reserve and a University within the protected area and focuses on students analyzing species and habitat to encourage native cavity nesting animals to return and breed in the Pinelands. Readers will be able to navigate the complexities and opportunities of working in a protected area and apply these lessons in the classroom. With this case study, instructors, researchers, and students will be able to apply the symbiotic relationship between protected region and university to other areas of the world.

Abstract:
Purpose To investigate the association rate between abdominal wall and pelvic endometriosis in a population of Iranian patients, in University and private hospitals of Shiraz University of Medical Sciences. Methods 30 women were diagnosed as abdominal wall endometriosis according to the clinical signs and symptoms (dysmenorrhea, dyspauronia and pelvic pain) and the sonographic findings. The mean age of the patients was 30.5 ±3.3 (range 21–35) years. All the patients underwent resection of abdominal wall mass and investigation of the pelvic cavity for detecting pelvic endometriosis by laparoscopy. The pelvic endometriosis was scored and the stage was determined. Results 28 (93.3%) patients were found to have concomitant pelvic endometriosis. The mean score of pelvic endometriosis was 9.3 ± 6.6 (range 3–33). Of the patients, 10 (33.3%) suffered from stage I endometriosis, 16 (53.3%) from stage II, and 2 (6.7%) from stage III. Only 2 (6.7%) patients did not have concomitant pelvic endometriosis. The abdominal wall mass was successfully excised in all the cases. The histopathology diagnosis was confirmed in all the cases. Conclusions The association rate between abdominal wall and pelvic endometriosis is higher than that previously reported, up to 90%. Thus, routine investigation of the pelvic cavity is recommended in all the patients with abdominal wall endometriosis.

Abstract:
Cavity walls structure is unsuitable in cold area for its faultiness of poor heat-insulating property. But the cavity walls constraint masonry construction is suitable in cold area for its high heat-insulating property. Studies are carried as setting up the restoring force model of the cavity walls confined masonry structure and analyzing the dynamic time-history of cavity walls constraint masonry structure under 7 degrees small earthquake, middle earthquake or large earthquake through EL centro wave, TALF wave, Ninghe wave and Qian'an wave, which indicates that cavity walls constraint masonry construction can satisfy seismic demand of 7 degree quake. Finally, the formula for calculating the interlayer displacement of cavity walls confined masonry structure near collapse is put forward and the counting result is compared with that of dynamic time-history analyzing, which shows that the accuracy of this formula is high enough to be used for analyzing the seismic performance of cavity walls constraint masonry structure.

Abstract:
The relative aerodynamic and performance effects associated with rotor–NGV gap coolant injections were investigated in the Axial Flow Turbine Research Facility (AFTRF) of the Pennsylvania State University. This study quantifies the effects of the coolant injection on the aerodynamic performance of the turbine for radial cooling, impingement cooling in the wheelspace cavity and root injection. Overall, it was found that even a small quantity (1 percent) of cooling air can have significant effects on the performance character and exit conditions of the high pressure stage. Parameters such as the total-to-total efficiency, total pressure loss coefficient, and three-dimensional velocity field show local changes in excess of 5, 2, and 15 percent, respectively. It is clear that the cooling air disturbs the inlet end-wall boundary layer to the rotor and modifies secondary flow development, thereby resulting in large changes in turbine exit conditions.

Abstract:
AbstractThis paper reviews 22 cases of minor salivary gland carcinoma of the oral cavity or oropharynx which were treated at Kurume University Hospital between 1976 and 2005. Minor salivary gland carcinoma was observed in eight of 362 patients with cancer of the oral cavity (2 per cent), and in 14 of 275 patients with cancer of the oropharynx (5 per cent). The five-year and 10-year survival rates of patients with oropharyngeal minor salivary gland carcinoma were 90 per cent. No statistically significant difference was observed between survival rates for oropharyngeal minor salivary gland carcinoma and for oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (p = 0.06). The five- and 10-year survival rates of patients with oral cavity minor salivary gland carcinoma were 75 and 37 per cent, respectively. No statistically significant difference was observed between survival rates for oral cavity minor salivary gland carcinoma and oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma.Patients' survival results correlated well with the clinical stage of their lesions. A significant difference in survival was observed, comparing stage IV with stages I, II and III (p = 0.04). In contrast, no significant relationship was found between either survival and tumour type or survival and treatment. Adjuvant therapy is recommended for patients with grade III adenoid cystic carcinoma with perineural infiltration or intravascular infiltration.

Abstract:
This study reports a case of parasitism by Dioctophyme renale in a supernumerary kidney and abdominal cavity of a female cat in Brazil. The three-year-old cat of indeterminate breed presented abdominal distension and was taken to the University of Contestado Veterinary Hospital in Canoinhas, state of Santa Catarina, since the owner suspected pregnancy. An ultrasound scan did not confirm pregnancy but revealed parasitism in the kidney. This case is worth reporting because domestic cats are rarely hosts of this nematode species.

Abstract:
Malignant tumors of the nasal cavity are rare but interesting lesions because of the heterogeneity of histologic types. From 1951 to 1992, 102 patients with malignant tumors of the nasal cavity have been treated at the University of Kansas Medical Center. Squamous cell carcinoma was the most common histologic type (41 %), followed by malignant melanoma (15%), and adenoid cystic carcinoma (8%). A number of other rare tumors, including hemangiopericytoma, osteosarcoma, acinic cell carcinoma, and teratoid carcinosarcoma were found in single instances. Despite the high proportion of advanced stage disease in patients undergoing planned combined therapy for all histologic types, a 54% overall determinate 5-year survival rate was achieved. The 5-year cure rate for all forms of treatment was 49%. The purpose of this paper is to present our experience and compare the outcome of the various treatment options; the impact of combined surgery and radiation on survival; and the importance of proper patient selection now made possible by CT and MR imaging and endoscopic examination. The evolution of treatment modalities dating to the beginning of this study period and ending with our current techniques for anterior skull base resections is discussed.

Abstract:
Subject. Microbial landscape of the oral cavity is a highly sensitive systemic indicator reacting to changes in different body organs and systems by qualitative and quantitative shifts. The unique ability of microbiocenosis of the oral cavity to self-regulate and maintain the ecological balance creates a personal health profile of an individual and assumes that a timely correction of microbiocenosis shall be added to required treatment patterns for various dental and somatic diseases. This approach ensures the protective effect of growth of opportunistic pathogenic bacteria improving quality of therapy and patient recovery time. Objectives. To study dynamics of clinical and microbiological changes in the oral cavity in patients with periodontitis and hypothyroidism on the background of complex therapy with inclusion of synbiotic Maxilac. Materials and methods. Based in the Ural State Medical University Department of Therapeutic Dentistry and Propedeutics of Dental Decease, the study of oral microbiology was carried out on 50 generalized moderate periodontitis patients aged 44 to 59 years during the period from 2017 to 2021. The average age of the subjects was 50.50±3.5 years. Two groups were formed: the main group (30 patients with “primary hypothyroidism” receiving hormone therapy) and the comparison group (20 patients). The patients in the main group were prescribed general therapy by the endocrinologist based on the phase, stage and the severity of the disease. During examination all patients underwent the complex clinical and laboratory evaluation before treatment, in its course and after it, as well they were subjected to full mouth debridement and the course of the complex periodontal therapy in accordance with clinical recommendations. Microbiota was corrected by active ingredient probiotic (lyophilized probiotic bacteria) — 4.5*109 CFU (colony-forming unit): Lactobacillus elveticus, lactis, rhamnosus, plantarum, casei; Bifidobacterium longum, breve, bifidum; Sreptococcus thermophilus. Results. The study of microbiocenosis of the oral cavity of patients with primary hypothyroidism demonstrated changes in species and the number of microorganisms in the oral cavity. Conclusions. Timely diagnostics and correction of disbiotic changes included in the dental treatment protocol will allow to select the most appropriate dental treatment strategy.

Abstract:
Rowlock cavity wall was widely used in rural house in Southern Jiangsu Province from 1980s to 1990s. As one type of masonry structures, the seismic performance of rowlock cavity wall has rarely been studied on. Based on the report of General Seismic Investigation in Jiangsu Qidong, one 1/2-scale rowlock cavity wall structure was modeled as the existing rural house, and was tested on shaking table in lab of Southeast University. After analyzing the failure state of the model, and examining the structural parameters such as natural frequency, damping ratio, floor acceleration, floor shift, strain and crack of the model in load condition of different earthquake wave and intensity, the seismic performance of rowlock wall structure was assessed. And the seismic capacity of the whole model and each piece of rowlock wall was also analyzed. Based on the mortar strength field inspected in model wall, the seismic capacity of model structure under the action of rarely occurred earthquake of level 6 seismic precautionary intensity was estimated. The result showed that the model structure would collapse under the load condition. Obviously, this can not satisfy the seismic precautionary requirement in Code for Seismic Design of Buildings (GB50011-2001). Therefore, some principal reinforcement suggestions were discussed and proposed for existing rowlock cavity wall buildings. The research result of this paper could provide some theoretical foundation for the Aseismic Residential Project of rural peasant house, and also could be referred to for further research on rowlock cavity wall structures.

The aim of the work is to determine the dynamics of the incidence of malignant neoplasms of the abdominal cavity in the Bukovina region and possible determinants. Material and methods. The study was performed on the basis of RMNE "Chernivtsi Regional Clinical Oncology Center" and Clinic of Oncology of Bukovinian State Medical University and covers observation materials during 2015-2019 and statistical reporting on 102,247 cases of tumors of various localizations. The indicators were calculated using Access and Excel software packages based on the Microsoft Office environment. The results. The total number of malignant neoplasms of different localizations is relatively stable throughout the study period and ranged from 19903 to 21259 cases per year (average 20449.4±508.2 registered during the year). Neoplasms of the abdominal cavity are about the third of the total number of tumors of different localization with a certain tendency to grow. The distribution of patients with neoplasms of the abdominal cavity by stages of development is relatively uniform, despite significant variations in different localizations of tumors. Conclusions. A significant part of tumors of the abdominal cavity is diagnosed in the late (III-IV) stages of the pathological process, which leads to a decrease in the effectiveness of treatment. Significant differences in the clinical and epidemiological characteristics of neoplasms of various abdominal organs have been identified, which requires further study.

Abstract:
Background: Several systemic diseases manifest themselves in the oral cavity. Dentists who are unaware of these lesions will possibly miss them. This cross-sectional study aimed to assess the prevalence of oral manifestations in patients with LE in a sample of the Egyptian population. Methods: The present cross-sectional study was performed on 189 patients attending the Internal Medicine Department, Rheumatology Clinic in EL Qasr El Ainy Hospital, Cairo University. Every patient was examined clinically after completing a questionnaire. Patients’ medical records were evaluated. The oral manifestations were assessed according to the WHO guide to physical examination of the oral cavity and classified according to their morphologic aspects and localization. Results: Out of 189 patients, there were 182 females (96.3%) and seven males (3.7%). The prevalence of oral lesions in SLE patients was 55.6%. The most affected site was the tongue 25.7%. The most common clinical aspect was patches, 53%. About 77.1% of the lesions were asymptomatic. Conclusions: The present study emphasizes the importance of early diagnosis of oral lesions to recognize patients with SLE as the WHO considers oral manifestations of SLE a widespread state. Also, the implementation of oral hygiene measures to improve patients’ nutritional state and health-related quality of life is recommended.

Abstract:
This paper proposes a method for the analysis of acoustic modals and steady-state responses of arbitrary triangular prism and quadrangular prism acoustic cavities based on the three-dimensional improved Fourier series. First, the geometric models of arbitrary triangular prism and quadrangular prism acoustic cavities are established. To facilitate the calculation, the bottom and top surfaces of the irregular cavity are converted into the unit square domain by a coordinate transformation. Internal sound pressure-admissible functions are constructed, and energy expressions are derived after coordinate transformation based on the three-dimensional improved Fourier series. The acoustic modals of arbitrary triangular prism and quadrangular prism acoustic cavities are obtained by the Rayleigh–Ritz technique. At the same time, a point sound source excitation is introduced into the cavity to further study the steady-state responses of prismatic acoustic cavities with different acoustic impedance boundary conditions. The reliability and universality of the method are verified by comparing with the finite element results. The method and results can provide some references and benchmarks for future research and application.

Abstract:
A number of systemic diseases including hematological disorders have manifestations in the oral cavity region. These manifestations may often represent early signs of the underlying hematopoietic disease and occur frequently in leukemia. Despite the fact that leukemia has long been known to be associated with oral health deterioration, the available literature on this topic consists mostly of case reports, without data to conclude these. The aim of the study was to assess dentition state in leukemic patients during one cycle of chemotherapy and its correlation with blood parameters. The study included 102 adults treated because of leukemia at the Clinic of Haemato-Oncology and Bone Marrow Transplantation at the university hospital in Lublin, Poland. The sample group consisted of 51 women and 51 men aged 22 to 72 (54.07 ± 10.33) with following diagnoses: Acute myelogenous leukemia (AML)—55 patients (53.92%), Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)—17 patients (16.67%), Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL)—16 patients (15.69%), Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML)—10 patients (9.80%), Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) —3 patients (2.94%), Chronic hairy cell leukemia (HCL)—1 patient (0.98%). DMFT index was used to assess dentition state. After the cycle of chemotherapy, their dentition state changed in terms of decayed, missing and filled teeth and correlated with hematological parameters. Adult patients with leukemia have high dental treatment needs, and high number of missing teeth; thus, a comprehensive and fast dental treatment is necessary to avoid systemic complications and ensure better quality of life.

Abstract:
Objective. To improve the outcomes of treatment of patients with bilateral kidney tumours. Patients and methods. 30 patients with synchronous bilateral kidney tumours received laparoscopic and retroperitoneoscopic treatment in the Institute of Urology and Reproductive Health, I.M.Sechenov First Moscow State Medical University (Sechenov University) from March 2012 to August 2018. 22 patients underwent staged operative treatment, 8 patients had one-stage surgery. The patients’ stage of disease was classified as Т1аN0M0 to Т3аN0M0. In most cases, the histological type had a malignant character. Results. 22 patients underwent 3D modelling of pathological process at the stage of preoperative preparation. The classical triad of renal cancer symptoms was not found. 7 operations were performed by the retroperitoneoscopic access, the others laparoscopically. The number of operations with retro- and retro-approach was 1, retro- and laparo-approach was 3, with laparolaparo-approach was 4. Performance of bilateral laparoscopic resection takes more time as compared with the combination of retro- and laparoscopic approaches. Two resections performed from the retro- and laparoscopic accesses make possible an operation without the surgeons going to the opposite side and changing the position of the endosurgical equipment, which shortens preparation to the second step of surgery and the duration of anaesthesia. Apparently, division of the surgical approach to the kidneys into the abdominal cavity and the retroperitoneal space is preferable, since it allows an adequate evaluation of the course of the early postoperative period and a differential control over the development of complications, first of all, bleeding. Conclusion. First evaluation of the outcomes of treating 8 patients, who underwent one-stage surgery, showed that this approach is safe, since it is not associated with an increase of intraoperative blood loss or other complications as compared with two-stage operations. Also, the duration of anaesthesia is shorter in one-stage surgery than in staged treatment. Enhancement of the volume of operative treatment does not reduce the length of hospitalization but rules out the need for repeated hospitalisation. We have obtained positive results that encourage further enrolment of patients and assessment of long-term outcomes of treatment.

CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVES: Head and neck cancer is the fifth most common type of cancer worldwide. The objective of this study was to evaluate the clinical and epidemiological parameters in a head and neck surgery service. DESIGN AND SETTING: Cross-sectional study using patients' records, developed in otolaryngology and head and neck department of a university hospital in the northwest of the state of São Paulo. METHODS: A total of 995 patients in the head and neck surgery service between January 2000 and May 2010 were evaluated. The variables analyzed included: age, gender, skin color, tobacco and alcohol consumption, primary site, staging and histological tumor type, treatment and number of deaths. RESULTS: The disease was more frequent among men (79.70%), smokers (75.15%) and alcohol abusers (58.25%). The most representative sites were oral cavity (29.65%) and larynx (24.12%) for the primary site; squamous cell carcinoma (84.92%) was the most frequent histological type, and surgery (29.04%) and radiotherapy (14.19%) were the most common treatments. CONCLUSION: The cancer that affects patients assisted by the head and neck surgery service occurs mainly men, smokers and alcohol abusers, and the oral cavity and larynx are the sites with the highest incidence. The high rate of patients with stages III and IV indicates late diagnosis by the treatment centers, which reflects the need for prevention education campaigns for early diagnosis of the disease.

Abstract:
Background: Several systemic diseases manifest themselves in the oral cavity. Oral manifestations of lupus erythematosus (LE) are associated with a significantly increased risk of cancer. Dentists who are unaware of these lesions will possibly miss them. This cross-sectional study aimed to assess the prevalence of oral manifestations in patients with LE in a sample of the Egyptian population. Methods: A descriptive study was performed on 189 patients attending the Internal Medicine Department, Rheumatology Clinic in EL Qasr EL Ainy Hospital, Cairo University. Every patient was examined clinically after completing a questionnaire. Moreover, patients’ medical records were also evaluated. The oral manifestations were recorded according to the WHO guide to physical examination of the oral cavity and classified according to their morphologic aspects and localization. Results: Out of 189 patients, there were 182 females (96.3%) and seven males (3.7%). The prevalence of oral lesions in LE patients was 55.6%. The most affected site was the tongue 25.7%. The most common clinical aspect was patches, 53%. About 77.1% of the lesions were asymptomatic. Conclusions: The present study emphasizes the importance of early diagnosis of oral lesions to recognize patients with LE as the WHO considers oral manifestations of LE a widespread state. Also, implementation of oral hygiene measures and treatment to improve patients’ nutritional state and health-related quality of life are recommended.

Abstract:
That murmur, soon replies, “God doth not need Either man’s work or his own gifts; who best Bear his mild yoke, they serve him best. His state Is Kingly. Thousands at his bidding speed And post o’er Land and Ocean without rest: They also serve who only stand and wait.”1 1John Milton, Sonnet 19 The COVID-19 Pandemic has brought out most of the best (and some of the worst) in us. Much has been said, shared, even sung about health care workers as frontline heroes. Whether we indeed form the frontline, or man the last line of defense, due credit is being given to all “front-liners” – essential-service workers, drivers and delivery personnel, security guards, the military and police who literally serve in the trenches of this invisible war. Indeed, it is heartening to read the inspiring messages, hear the encouraging words, listen to the uplifting (sometimes funny) music and songs, witness the moving memes and cartoons, watch the refreshing dances and tributes, and receive the healing blessings and prayers on various media and social media platforms. Indeed, we are motivated to continue to work, so that others may safely stay home. Some of us have even been called upon to die, so that others may live. But so much less is and has been said about those who make our battle possible, who selflessly and silently took it upon themselves to clothe us with personal protective equipment, feed us, transport us, and even shelter us as we engage the unseen enemy. It is these heroes I wish to thank today. I certainly cannot thank them all, but I sincerely hope that those I do mention will represent the many others I cannot. Early on, my brother Elmer Lapeña and his Team Twilight group of “golfing enthusiasts and friends” (“company owners, executives, managers, engineers, technicians, entrepreneurs, and expats in the electronics, semiconductor, metalworking, automotive, aerospace, and packaging manufacturing industries”) responded to the call for better protection for frontliners with door-to-door deliveries of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to over 40 hospitals in the National Capitol Region, Rizal, Cavite, Laguna and Batangas including the Philippine General Hospital (PGH).2 On a personal note, Elmer and my sister-in-law Annette were closely monitoring our situation, going out of their way to obtain difficult-to-find PPEs for my wife Josie and myself, and our respective Departments of Family and Community Medicine (DFCM) and Otorhinolaryngology (ORL) at the PGH. For her part, our very dear friend Gigi Bautista Rapadas organized Project #HelpCovid19Warriors(HCW), to “go where the virus goes” and “help where help is needed and requested,” harnessing donations from ‘family, friends, and friends of friends” to procure PPE (as well as disinfectants, even canned goods) that were distributed “from Metro Manila to the provinces: Tuguegarao, Bataan, Bulacan, La Union, Nueva Vizcaya, Cavite,” moving from hospitals and health centers to correctional institutes.3 It is because of them that our PGH Department of ORL obtained very expensive but essential respirator hoods for added protection from aerosolized virus when conducting airway procedures, in addition to head-to-foot PPEs for use of the PGH DFCM in attending to PGH staff at the UP Health Service. Meanwhile, without fanfare, our dear friends Popot and Agnes (also my DLSU ’79 classmate) Lorenzana provided cooked meals for 1,000 persons daily. Working with on-the-ground social workers and with the 2KK Tulong sa Kapwa Kapatid Foundation, their Feeding Program “A thousand meals for poor communities” reached Payatas, Talayan, Pinyahan, Smokey Mountain, Maisan, Bagong Silang, Old Balara, Tatalon, Sta. Teresita, Sampaloc, and Sta. Ana, among more than 50 other communities. They generously responded to my wife’s request to provide meals for her community patients of the Canossa Health Center in Tondo. They have also provided meals for hospital staff of Amang Rodriguez Memorial Medical Center, the Medical City Hospital, Veterans Memorial Medical Center, Dr. Jose Fabella Memorial Hospital, Dr. Jose Rodriquez Memorial Hospital, Quezon City General Hospital, the San Lazaro Hospital, Valenzuela City Emergency and Lung Center of the Philippines. They continue this service which to date has provided for more than 32,000 meals, with corporate partners and private individuals joining the effort.4 Other De La Salle University (DLSU) College ‘79 batchmates who wish to remain anonymous obtained board approval of their endorsement to channel all the social development funds of their Maritime Multipurpose Cooperative for the next 3 years to the Philippine General Hospital. Adding their personal funds (and those solicited by their daughter and nephew), they took on the daunting task of sourcing and proving Powered Air Purifying Respirators (PAPRs) for our use. Another DLSU batchmate has been providing PPEs to various hospitals including PGH through their family corporation, Nobleland Ventures, Inc. Even their high school batch ’75 of Saint Jude Catholic School has donated boxes and boxes of PPEs to the PGH and other hospitals. Other DLSU ’79 classmates Bel and Bong Consing, and Timmy, Joy (and Tita Linda) Bautista have personally donated PPEs and funds for our COVID-19 operations, while classmate Fritz de Lange even sent over sweet mangoes for us to enjoy with our fellow frontliners. Generous donations also poured in from La Salle Green Hills (LSGH) High School ’76 friends Cris Ibarra, Norman Uy, Class 4E, and batchmates Tito and Pepper who wish to remain anonymous, as well as Menchit Borbon and her St. Theresa’s College Quezon City (STCQC) - Section 1 classmates. We even received overseas support from my LSGH 4B classmate Bingo Pantaleon from Yangon; my mom Libby, brother Bernie and Lilli, and friend Soyanto from Singapore, and sister Sabine from Germany. And how can we forget the regular frozen food deliveries of Jollibee chicken drumsticks and home-made Bulgogi and Tapa from our dear friends Ed and Aning Go? Perhaps the most touching gifts of all came from my eldest and youngest daughters Melay and Jica, who lovingly prepared and delivered much-appreciated meals to us, and middle child Ro-an, who with our son-in-law Reycay serenaded us with beautiful music that was appreciated by no less than Vice President Leni Robredo and featured by the Philippine Philharmonic Orchestra.5 Their musical fund-raising campaign started with another haunting piece featuring my sister Nina and brother-in-law Kiko.6 As if that was not enough, Ro-an bakes cookies to raise funds for our ongoing COVID-19 operations at PGH, while Melay and Jica keep asking us what we want to eat next. These three count among those who have least, yet “put in everything ” from what little they have.7 These are but a few examples of those known personally to me- my family and friends. And there are many more. In the same way, every other doctor and front liner will have their own stories to tell, of friends, family even mere acquaintances who have come out of the shadows to help, to care, to share in whatever way they can, in fighting this battle with us. Let this be their tribute as well. Those of us who serve in the Philippine General Hospital have been called People Giving Hope.8,9 I believe that we do give hope because others give us hope in turn. I like to think that the inscription in the PGH lobby “They Also Serve Who Care and Share” honors these others in a special way who go over and beyond the call of duty. With apologies to John Milton, our heroes go way over and beyond “they also serve who only stand and wait.”

Abstract:
AbstractA multivariant analysis of the value of the use of a pre-operative topical antiseptic mouthwash to reduce the incidence of post-operative wound complications in 106 consecutive patients undergoing head and neck surgery involving the oral cavity or oropharynx was carried out at the University of Iowa, Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery. An oral presentation employing povidone–iodine solution was used for 43 patients. The remaining 63 patients studied received no oral presentation. Unfavourable wound outcome was not associated with age, sex, presence and condition of teeth, or serious pre-existing medical illnesses. A significant correlation was found between post-operative wound breakdown and type of closure, stage of disease, and previous operation or radiotherapy. The use of an oral preparation correlated significantly with favourable wound outcome independent of all other variables (p<0.01).Our data support the use of a topical antiseptic mouthwash to reduce the incidence of post-operative wound complications in surgery of the oral cavity and oropharynx.

A primary interest of image analysis of X-rayed seeds is to identify whether the extent of fill in the embryo cavity is associated with to seed physiological quality. The objective of this research was to verify the accuracy of the freely available Tomato Analyzer (TA) software developed at The Ohio State University to determine the ratio of embryo size over total seed area. Seeds of pumpkin, watermelon, cucumber and cotton were X-rayed and analyzed by the software which defines seed and embryo boundaries and automatically generates numerical values to quantify that ratio. Results showed that the TA has the sensitivity to evaluate the extent of embryo growth within the cucurbits and cotton seeds and is a promising alternative for this assessment in other seed species.

Abstract:
Abstract Commercial products with humic substances have often been recommended for plant growth stimulation and yield improvement. The aim of this study was to clarify the effects of two products, containing cavited peat and vermicompost respectively on the soil biological activity. Vegetation experiments with garden cress and cucumbers were arranged in pots with a peat substratum in the greenhouses of the Latvia University of Agriculture. The plants were treated with the preparations once a month. The first treatment was done at sowing. Dose of 20, 2, 0.2 mL per m2 during each treatment time were used. A control variant was without peat or vermicompost preparation. Field experiments with onions were carried out in the organic farming experimental field of the Latvia State Institute of Cereal Breeding. Plant growth and soil (substratum) biological activity (respiration and enzymatic activity) were tested. Plant growth and response to the different preparations depended on the plant species and its development stage. The effect of preparations decreases during plant development. The impact of peat or vermicompost preparation on soil biological activity depended not only on the concentration of preparation, but was influenced by the soil or growth media type. The decrease of onion yield in field conditions as a result of preparations was observed.

Abstract:
Thirty patients with tumors of the ovarian stroma (28 granulosa cell tumors, two androblastomas) and 12 women with germ-cell tumors (nine dysgerminomas, two teratomas, one endodermal sinus tumor) were treated at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of the University in Graz between 1972 and 1989. Of the 28 patients with granulosa-cell tumors, 24 (86%) had stage I disease, 27 were primarily treated by surgery, and seven (25%) developed a recurrence (three stage I, three stage III and one stage IV). There were three recurrences in the peritoneal cavity and two in the paraaortic nodes; six of the seven patients died of recurrent disease.Four of nine patients with stage I dysgerminomas developed recurrences, two of which were located in the para-aortic nodes. Three patients with recurrence after stage Ia disease are currently alive without evidence of disease; one patient with stage Ib disease died 11 months after a paraaortic recurrence.Wider use of cytostatic combinations and careful surgical staging, including lymphadenectomy, may improve the survival of patients with stromal or germ-cell tumors.

Abstract:
Mesotheliomas are uncommon neoplasms that arise from mesothelial cells in either the abdominal or thoracic cavities and are rarely diagnosed in cats. A 10-y-old spayed female domestic shorthair cat was presented to the Louisiana State University oncology service for evaluation of a large amount of abdominal effusion. Abdominal ultrasound identified a large mesenteric mass with numerous ill-defined nodules. An abdominocentesis was performed with cytologic and immunocytochemical findings consistent with a neoplastic effusion, with large clusters of epithelioid cells that exhibited strong cytoplasmic expression of pancytokeratin, vimentin, and Wilms tumor 1 antigens. Further testing was declined, and meloxicam was prescribed until the cat died 23 d after initial presentation. Upon postmortem examination, the omentum was contracted into a firm mass adhered to multiple organs and accompanied by numerous small white nodules throughout the abdominal cavity. On histopathology and immunohistochemistry, neoplastic cells were found throughout the abdominal cavity; 60–95% exhibited moderate-to-strong cytoplasmic immunoreactivity for cytokeratin, vimentin, and Wilms tumor 1 protein. The final diagnosis was an epithelioid mesothelioma. Our case illustrates the utility of cytology, immunocytochemistry, and its relation to histology and immunohistochemistry. We also reviewed the reported cases of feline mesothelioma.

Full text
Abstract:
This work is focused on the development of a reduced-order model based on experimental data for the design of feedback control for subsonic cavity flows. The model is derived by applying the proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) in conjunction with the Galerkin projection of the Navier-Stokes equations onto the resulting spatial eigenfunctions. The experimental data consist of sets of 1000 simultaneous particle image velocimetry (PIV) images and surface pressure measurements taken in the Gas Dynamics and Turbulent Laboratory (GDTL) subsonic cavity flow facility at the Ohio State University. Models are derived for various individual flow conditions as well as for their combinations. The POD modes of the combined cases show some of the characteristics of the sets used. Flow reconstructions with 30 modes show good agreement with experimental PIV data. For control design, four modes capture the main features of the flow. The reduced-order model consists of a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations for the modal amplitudes where the control input appears explicitly. Linear and quadratic stochastic estimation methods are used for real-time estimation of the modal amplitudes from real-time surface pressure measurements.

The degree of antioxidant defense of mouth liquid is studied in children with cleft lip and/or palate (N=46) and in children with neuropsychiatric disorders (N=76) in connection with development of dental diseases. Control group is formed by somatically healthy children (N=60). Inspected children were subdivided into two subgroups dependant on their age: from 8 to 12 years (mixed bite) and from 13 to 15 years (permanent bite). All children were on clinical account in children dental office clinic of Kubanskii State Medical University and constantly lived in Krasnodar. In children with defects of maxillofacial area and with neuropsychiatric disorders in comparison with control, reduced indices of hygiene of mouth cavity, higher indices of distribution and intensity of caries, more heavy flow of periodontal diseases and increase of indices of «oxidative stress» in mouth cavity were observed. Obtained results evidence the display of «oxidative stress» on a background of low level of hygiene in two studied children groups with pathology, which by no means support the development of dental diseases (caries and periodontal diseases), and might be used in practical health protection for the prognosis of the flow of dental diseases.

Study Objective To assess the possible effects of peritoneal dialysis (PD) on sleep-related respiration, which might result from dialysate bulk load in the abdomen and/or alterations in metabolic control of respiration during sleep. Design Subjective and objective measures of sleep were prospectively compared on randomly assigned nights with PD fluid (2.0 L) and without PD fluid in the peritoneal cavity in 11 end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients on PD. Setting Tertiary-referral university hospital. Patients and Methods Fifteen consecutive patients on peritoneal dialysis who complained of chronic sleep disturbance and requested sedative were selected. Four patients declined polysomnographic studies. Consequently, 11 ESRD patients (8 males and 3 females) with a mean age of 63±4 (SEM) years were studied. Results Eight of the 11 patients reported multiple types of sleep difficulties. Polysomnographic recordings revealed significant primarily obstructive sleep apnea in 6 of 11 patients on at least 1 of 2 nights. Arterial blood pH, paO2, and paC02 did not differ between nights with and without PD fluid in the peritoneal cavity in the group as a whole. In the 6 patients with sleep apnea, Pa02 was significantly lower (p<0.05) during the night with (Pa02=78±7 mmHg) than during the night without PD fluid (Pa02=92±4 mmHg). In the apneic patients, the amount of dialysate drained in the morning was negatively correlated with the minimum arterial oxygen saturation during the night (r=-0.94; p<0.005). Conclusions This study indicates a significant relationship between PD patients with chronic sleep disturbance and sleep apnea syndrome. These data suggest that apneic patients may be susceptible to complications of dialysate bulk effect on oxygen desaturation.

Abstract:
Background: Uterine didelphys is a rare congenital anomaly that may increase the risk of pregnancy loss and adverse perinatal outcome. There is limited knowledge of specific increased risk related to uterine didelphys. Uterine didelphys occurs in approximately 1 in 3000 women and accounts for 8 -10% of all mullerian duct anomalies (MDAs). Aim: To present this rare congenital clinical condition and offer management modality experience from the Rivers State University Teaching Hospital (RSUTH). Case report: Mrs. MC was a 33 year old booked G3 Para 1+ 1 (alive), previous caesarean section, who presented for antenatal care. Her index pregnancy was complicated by premature uterine contractions and ante – partum haemorrhage at 29 weeks and 30 weeks gestation respectively which were managed successfully. Obstetric ultrasound scan revealed a second uterine cavity with separate endometrial plate in keeping with uterine didelphys. She subsequently had an elective repeat caesarean section at 38 weeks gestation for transverse lie and uterine anomaly. Findings were a gravid left uterus and an empty right uterus with a lower segment scar. The left uterus contained a live male neonate in transverse lie with a birth weight of 3.5 kg and good Apgar scores. The baby was successfully managed for neonatal Jaundice. The mother developed postpartum haemorrhage which was successfully managed. The mother and baby were discharged on the 5th and 12th post-operative day respectively in good clinical state. The mother was given appointment to the family planning clinic. Conclusion: We presented a patient with a rare congenital clinical condition – uterine didelphys who conceived spontaneously. She had a previous successful pregnancy on the right uterus followed by a spontaneous miscarriage and successfully carried the index pregnancy on the left uterus to term and was delivered by an elective repeat caesarean section with good fetal and maternal outcome.

Abstract:
Chronic otitis media (COM) patients who had a multichannel device implanted were evaluated regarding surgical problems and technical modifications. In a multicentric study, implantees whose aetiology was COM were retrospectively evaluated. Patients were operated on and evaluated at three different tertiary referral centres: SSK Izmir Hospital Cochlear Implantation (CI) Center (32 cases), Istanbul Marmara University ENT Clinic (six cases), Eskişehir Anadolu University CI Center (one case). Thirty-nine implantees were evaluated with respect to surgical problems, technical modifications, complications and hearing results. All patients had lost their hearings as a result of COM. Three out of 39 cases were children. Thirty-seven of the patients either had a radical cavity or ear converted to radical at the first stage or concomittantly with the implantation. Patients were evaluated in order to find out the best possible surgical solutions to specific problems caused by COM. In seven cases electrode array disrupted the epithelial lining of the cavity despite specific measures. Five of those cases were re-implanted, passing the electrode array through a tunnel under the facial nerve. Seven recent cases were also implanted with the same subfacial route. In all patients but one, satisfactory hearing results were achieved one to five years after implantation (SDS scores with monosyllabic word list were between 59 and 89 per cent, median 67.4 per cent). CI in COM patients necessitates technical modifications. In radical cavities subfacial implantation seems to be a good solution for the protection of the electrode array.

Abstract:
The study objective is to describe a case of ossified pseudomeningocele after spinal surgery and to develop an optimal treatment strategy for this disorder.Materials and methods. We report a case of ossified pseudomeningocele developed after the removal of an intradural neurinoma in the lumbar spine in a female patient treated in the Clinic for Nervous Diseases, University Clinical Hospital No. 3 of the I.M. Sechenov First Moscow State Medical University in 2017. We also reviewed research literature describing this pathological condition.Results. Upon admission, the patient was diagnosed with paresis of the left foot occurring in ankle joint dorsiflexion (score 4), absence of the Achilles reflex on the left side, and hypoesthesia of two first toes of the left foot. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a postoperative cyst of irregular shape located in soft tissues at the level of L vertebral body and compressing the dural sac. The patients underwent surgery that included separation of the pseudomeningocele cavity from the dural sac and placement of an external lumbar drainage. In the postoperative period, we observed a complete regression of neurological symptoms.Conclusion. Since ossified pseudomeningocele in the lumbar spine is extremely rare, an optimal treatment strategy has not been developed so far. We believe that maximum possible excision of the cyst wall and anastomotic sealing with a muscular or fat flap with biological glue followed by flap fixation from the extradural space is a simple and robust method of decompression and separation of the anastomosis. To eliminate the cavity in soft tissue of the paravertebral space, we recommend reconstruction of epidural fat with additional sealing using biological glue. To prevent anastomosis recurrence, we recommend placing an external lumbar drainage.
