The Ambu® AuraGain™ is a fairly new, single use, second-generation SAD with a preformed shape. Aim: To compare the oropharyngeal sealing pressure (OSP) of i-gel® and AuraGain™ in young children weighing between 5 and 20 kg. Materials and Methods: This study was conducted as a single-blinded randomized control trial at a tertiary care center over the period of 18 months. Forty children, aged between 6 months and 6 years, weighing 5–20 kg, belonging to the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) Physical Status I, II, and III, undergoing elective surgical procedures, were randomized into two groups: the i-gel® group and Ambu® AuraGain™ group. The primary goal was measuring OSP at 1 min postinsertion and its change at 10 min. The secondary objectives were insertion time, success rate at first attempt, the degree of ease of gastric tube insertion, and perioperative adverse effects. Results: The mean OSP was significantly higher (P < 0.05) in the i-gel group (i.e., 20.0 ± 3.24 at 1 min and 23.45 ± 3.66 at 10 min) as compared to Ambu® AuraGain™ (16.70 ± 3.10 and 19.95 ± 3.1 at 1 and 10 min, respectively). The insertion time and success and complications rate for device placement were comparable. The resistance when inserting gastric tube was significantly higher in the i-gel® group (70%) as compared to the Ambu® AuraGain™ group (20%) in our study (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Our study suggests that i-gel® is superior in achieving OSP, whereas gastric tube insertion is easy with the use of Ambu® AuraGain™.","PeriodicalId":15592,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Datta Meghe Institute of Medical Sciences University","volume":"18 1","pages":"433 - 437"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48975660","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although ECE has been practicing to reinforce learning, it has certain limitations. Mainly restrictions on resources due to inappropriate student-teacher ratio owing to less no of trained faculty in the department. The student-centered teaching method such as peer-assisted learning (PAL) can be used as a supporting modus operandi in the deliverance of the curriculum at the undergraduate level to augment the learning by ECE. Materials and Methods: The study population includes a cohort of 100 Students of I Bachelor of Dental Sciences (BDS) and 25 Students of II BDS. From I BDS, 50 students (Group A = experimental group) were selected as cases and 50 as controls (Group B = control group) by the simple random sampling. Twenty-five students were selected from II BDS on the basis of performance scale (high achievers) as peers. (Group A) students were exposed to the ECE module which was assisted by peers as an enhancement to didactic teaching-learning. Control group (Group B) students were exposed to conventional ECE, which is facilitated by faculty members/teachers. After the intervention, both the groups were evaluated for knowledge, skills, and attitude as posttest. Results: The significantly enhanced posttest score was observed in Group A (7.46 ± 1.32) as compared to Group B (3.98 ± 1.59). The mean objective structured practical examination score in Group A was improved as compared to Group B and the difference between them was also found statistically significant (P = 0.00). Conclusion: Peer-assisted ECE could be a better teaching-learning methodology than traditional teaching for dental students in the Indian Scenario.","PeriodicalId":15592,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Datta Meghe Institute of Medical Sciences University","volume":"18 1","pages":"475 - 480"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42860662","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It not only maintains the health of the tissue but also plays a decisive role in the prediction of periodontal treatment outcomes. Thin gingival phenotype poses certain risks of poor periodontal treatment outcome in cases of implant, coronally advanced flap, and other root coverage procedures. Thus it becomes the duty of the clinician to deal with such cases by prior planning treatments which can improve the gingival phenotype and thereby enhancing the postperiodontal treatment outcomes to benefit patients. In this case series, a nonsurgical treatment modality microneedling (MN) and injectable platelet-rich fibrin (i-PRF) are employed in an attempt to increase the thickness of thin gingival phenotype. Methods: Five systemically healthy patients with thin gingival phenotypes were included in this study. The lower anterior teeth with split-mouth study pattern have been randomly allocated to nonsurgical treatment modality, i.e., MN alone and MN along with i-PRF. All the patients were followed up for 9 months. Outcomes Assessed: Gingival thickness (GT), Width of Keratinized Tissue (WKT), oral hygiene index, gingival index (GI), the patient reported outcome measures. Results: Both the groups showed an increase in the thickness of gingiva in 9-month follow-up. The mean increase of 0.62 mm in thickness was seen in Group 1 (42%), whereas Group 2 showed a 0.34 mm (27.3%) of increment. No difference is seen with respect to the change in the width of keratinized gingiva in both groups. Conclusion: MN along with i-PRF can provide an efficient nonsurgical option to clinicians to increase GT in cases of thin gingival phenotype.","PeriodicalId":15592,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Datta Meghe Institute of Medical Sciences University","volume":"18 1","pages":"486 - 489"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44155731","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

If we intend to rise through challenges, one has to be prepared for the change. A strong sense of duty among health-care workers (HCWs) was observed during COVID-19 pandemic when there was a high threat to their lives. We aimed to review the literature from PubMed, CENTRAL, Web of Science, and Google Scholar that describes the current situation and various challenges faced by the health-care providers and provides necessary recommendations that ensure health and well-being. It is believed that the findings of this study will be found useful by the government and higher agencies to formulate and implement new and better policies favoring and promoting the health-care workers. The obstacles that health-care practitioners are presently facing are far larger than those that they experience in their routine duties. Health-care personnel has a distinct and restricted responsibility to treat the COVID-19 epidemic, which can be traced back to a wide social compact and is firmly linked to specific reciprocal obligations that society owes to health-care providers. This article is organized into parts depending on the numerous sorts of obstacles that health-care employees experience, such as mental, physical, professional, spiritual, and vocational challenges. The existing and future levels of stress among HCWs are very concerning. As a result, immediate upskilling is essential, as many health-care providers believe they lack the knowledge and abilities needed to manage health concerns. However, it is critical to ensure that enough suitable resources are in place to assist HCWs throughout the pandemic's acute phase, as well as in the aftermath when demand will increase. A key rationale for investigating challenges faced by health-care workers is to strengthen our health system in every best possible way, also to strengthen the role of health-care workers by collection of their personal information COVID-19 related knowledge, personal health, nutrition, dietary supplementation, and job characteristics including psychological problem, work motivation, work pressure, physical abuse at work, conflicts, occupational hazards, length of working hours, communication challenges, language barriers, calm and composed behavior, and maintaining spiritual belief. The rationale will be based on the questionnaire including all types of challenges with multiple-choice questions discussing the problems faced during COVID-19.","PeriodicalId":15592,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Datta Meghe Institute of Medical Sciences University","volume":"18 1","pages":"513 - 518"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47475034","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Materials and Methods: MEDLINE (via PubMed), SCOPUS, Science Direct, Cochrane Library, ProQuest, Google Scholar, and gray literature were comprehensively searched. Human clinical studies published between 2000 and 2021 were included. The Newcastle–Ottawa Scale was used to evaluate the risk of bias in the studies. Results: Of the 873 articles screened, six studies were included, evaluating 640 patients (554 OSCC cases and 113 controls). SOD levels in OSCC subjects were significantly lesser (P < 0.01) compared to healthy controls in spectrophotometry analysis, whereas its immuno-expression was significantly higher in the OSCC tissue samples in immunohistochemistry. In the meta-analyses related to SOD analysis by spectrophotometry, the overall effect size of tissue SOD in OSCC and control group were 8.51 and 11.62 U/mg protein, respectively. In the meta-analyses related to SOD analysis by immunohistochemistry, the overall effect size of tissue SOD in OSCC was 55.55% and 3.61% for cell staining, respectively. Conclusion: Decreased SOD levels in OSCC tissue samples in spectrophotometry and high immunoexpression in immunohistochemistry accurately reflect increased oxidative stress (OS) levels. Further studies are required to understand the increase in SOD levels in OSCC tissue. Correlation analysis between SOD levels and established clinicopathological prognostic markers could aid in formulation of OS-based prognostication and treatment planning.","PeriodicalId":15592,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Datta Meghe Institute of Medical Sciences University","volume":"18 1","pages":"575 - 582"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47785600","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It makes use of tensional strains created within the fractured segments to initiate a cascade of responses ultimately resulting in the formation of new mature bone. Supplementation of platelet-derived products such as platelet-rich plasma and platelet-rich fibrin in DO could stimulate this cascade and accelerate the formation of new bone with improved quality. Materials and Methods: Literature search was performed on eminent databases for studies using platelet-derived products with DO in alveolar ridge augmentation. Data relating to bibliographic information, and study outcomes were extracted. A risk of bias assessment was performed for each study. Measures of outcome included increase in bone height, and any reported postoperative complications. Results: Planned alveolar height was reached in all the studies with an adequate amount of bone formation for the placement of dental implants. Studies reported long-term implant survival. Postoperative complications included displacement of fractured segments, temporary paresthesia, and scar formation. Conclusion: DO supplemented with platelet-derived products provides an ideal micro-environment for the recruitment of various signaling molecules and stem cell precursors inducing the formation of new bone. It circumvents the unpredictable outcomes and complications such as donor site morbidity, which is associated with conventional placement of bone grafts. However, the available literature is scarce in this area and further randomized studies are required to form a conclusive body of evidence to support the translatability of this innovative technique into clinical practice.","PeriodicalId":15592,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Datta Meghe Institute of Medical Sciences University","volume":"18 1","pages":"569 - 574"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47698444","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
