Radish Oil Addition effect on some properties Of Heat Cure Acrylic resin

Background: Heat-cured acrylic resins are used most often for denture bases because they are the best in terms of their physical and chemical properties, are easy to handle, and are affordable. But the surface is not hard enough, and oral bacteria such as Candida albicans stick to the resin. Objective: To assess how Radish oil affected heat-cured acrylic's impact strength and hardness. Patients and Methods: The intention was to create a total of (60) specimens. Twenty samples were made without additives (Control), and 40 had made with radish oil added at two different amounts (2.5 per cent, 5 per cent). Results: There was a Non-significant difference between the control and experimental groups in the impact strength test. In contrast, the hardness test showed a highly significant difference between the control and experimental groups. When radish oil had added, the impact strength and hardness had reduced in all concentrations. Conclusion: Adding radish oil decreased the hardness and impact strength of the two experimental groups

Perception of insurance organization managers on the concept of real tariff of medical services in the health system: A qualitative study

Introduction: Setting tariffs is one of the most important tools of policy makers of the health system in every country for implementing their authority which is effective in justice, performance, and the quality of and accountability in offering services. Moreover, it can influence access rate and use of services. Changing medical tariffs affects the income of medical and hospital service providers, and the expenditure of financiers of medical and hospital services. This study investigated the concept of real tariff from the point of view of managers of insurance organizations. Method: This qualitative study was performed via in-depth interviews with 19 managers of health, social security, and armed forces insurance organizations who were informed of or their occupation was related to this field. Thematic analysis method was used for analyzing interviews. Results: Managers of insurance organizations expressed the concept of real tariff in two themes of definition of real tariff, and methods, elements, and principles of determining tariffs and subthemes of determination of tariffs based on collective agreement considering interests of involved groups, based on cost of services, and based on type and sensitivity. Conclusion: To amend the status of setting tariffs, characteristics of real tariff should be identified based on the concept of real tariff. Interests of involved groups (insured, service provider, and insurer) should be considered in determining tariffs. Tariffs should be determined based on collective agreement, the views of representatives of involved groups, and cost of services.

Health, education, and social care provision after diagnosis of childhood visual disability

Aim: To investigate the health, education, and social care provision for children newly diagnosed with visual disability.Method: This was a national prospective study, the British Childhood Visual Impairment and Blindness Study 2 (BCVIS2), ascertaining new diagnoses of visual impairment or severe visual impairment and blindness (SVIBL), or equivalent vi-sion. Data collection was performed by managing clinicians up to 1-year follow-up, and included health and developmental needs, and health, education, and social care provision.Results: BCVIS2 identified 784 children newly diagnosed with visual impairment/SVIBL (313 with visual impairment, 471 with SVIBL). Most children had associated systemic disorders (559 [71%], 167 [54%] with visual impairment, and 392 [84%] with SVIBL). Care from multidisciplinary teams was provided for 549 children (70%). Two-thirds (515) had not received an Education, Health, and Care Plan (EHCP). Fewer children with visual impairment had seen a specialist teacher (SVIBL 35%, visual impairment 28%, χ2p < 0.001), or had an EHCP (11% vs 7%, χ2p < 0 . 01).Interpretation: Families need additional support from managing clinicians to access recommended complex interventions such as the use of multidisciplinary teams and educational support. This need is pressing, as the population of children with visual impairment/SVIBL is expected to grow in size and complexity.This is an open access article under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits use, distribution and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited

BJS commission on surgery and perioperative care post-COVID-19

Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) was declared a pandemic by the WHO on 11 March 2020 and global surgical practice was compromised. This Commission aimed to document and reflect on the changes seen in the surgical environment during the pandemic, by reviewing colleagues experiences and published evidence. Methods: In late 2020, BJS contacted colleagues across the global surgical community and asked them to describe how severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) had affected their practice. In addition to this, the Commission undertook a literature review on the impact of COVID-19 on surgery and perioperative care. A thematic analysis was performed to identify the issues most frequently encountered by the correspondents, as well as the solutions and ideas suggested to address them. Results: BJS received communications for this Commission from leading clinicians and academics across a variety of surgical specialties in every inhabited continent. The responses from all over the world provided insights into multiple facets of surgical practice from a governmental level to individual clinical practice and training. Conclusion: The COVID-19 pandemic has uncovered a variety of problems in healthcare systems, including negative impacts on surgical practice. Global surgical multidisciplinary teams are working collaboratively to address research questions about the future of surgery in the post-COVID-19 era. The COVID-19 pandemic is severely damaging surgical training. The establishment of a multidisciplinary ethics committee should be encouraged at all surgical oncology centres. Innovative leadership and collaboration is vital in the post-COVID-19 era
