The effects of subgingival application of ozonated olive oil gel in patient with localized aggressive periodontitis. A clinical and bacteriological study

AbstractThis study evaluates the effect of subgingival application of ozonated olive oil gel as an adjunct to scaling and root planing (SRP) in aggressive periodontitis.Material & methodsThirty patients were randomly selected and equally divided into: Group I received SRP only, group II received SRP and ozonated olive oil gel (Oxactiv). Subgingival application of ozone gel was performed following initial SRP and at 7, 14 and 21 days. Clinical measurements included pocket depth (PD), plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI), bleeding on probing (BOP) and clinical attachment level (CAL). Real time PCR was carried out to determine the effect of the treatment on both Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (Aa) and Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg). Clinical measurements and Plaque samples for PCR were recorded at baseline, one, three and six months after treatment.ResultsThe results showed improvement in all clinical parameters in (group II) which was maintained up to six months (P < 0.05). However, this improvement was best following one month but gradually decrease at 3 and 6 months. Whereas SRP alone resulted in a significant improvement only up to one month for BOP, PPD and CAL parameters and up to three months for the PI and GI scores as compared to baseline values.Microbiological resultsRevealed significant reduction of the mean Pg and Aa DNA copies at 1 and 3 months for (groupII), whereas group I resulted in slight reduction up to 1 month only followed by gradual increase reaching baseline values. There was no significant difference between groups at three and six months regarding Pg DNA copies. There was a significant difference between groups at the one and three months periods in term of number of Aa copies (P < 0.001, P < 0.05 respectively).ConclusionThe study concluded that (Oxactiv) gel could be a promising adjunct to SRP in the treatment of aggressive periodontitis

Metastable states from multinucleon excitations in Tl 202 and Pb 203

The excited level structures of Tl202 and Pb203, above the 7+ and 29/2- isomers, respectively, have been studied. An isomer with Iπ=20+ and T1/2=215(10)μs has been established in Tl202, and the level scheme extended from I=10 to 20ℏ with the placement of fifteen new transitions. In Pb203, the Iπ=37/2+ state is established to be metastable, with T1/2=2.5(3)ns. Levels in both nuclei arise from intrinsic excitations, with likely particle-hole character for the higher-lying states in Pb203. The 20+ isomer in Tl202 is most likely associated with a πh11/2-1 - ν(i13/2-2,f5/2-1) configuration, while the 37/2+ state in Pb203 results from the excitation of five neutrons. Calculations, using both an empirical approach and the oxbash code, have been performed to aid in the description of the excited level structure

ATLAS Roman Pots at LHC Run 3 Detector Status

ALFA and AFP detectors are being prepared to take data during the LHC Run 3. ALFA underwent refurbishment whereas AFP, among other upgrades, was equipped with a new solution for the Time-of-Flight system, the so-called Out-of-Vacuum solution. AFP Silicon Tracker is equipped with new modules and ToF, after various testbeams, seems to achieve desired resolution with high efficiency. As a part of the 2022 13.6 TeV data was already taken, the AFP detector performance during Run 3 will be briefly discussed

On Design of a Triple Elliptical Super Wideband Antenna for 5G Applications

A novel compact triple elliptical monopole antenna has been designed, analyzed and fabricated for super wideband applications. To enhance the impedance bandwidth, the author proposed a monopole antenna with a triple elliptical patch excited by a $50\Omega$ triangular tapered microstrip feedline. Further improvement is achieved by optimally modifying the Defected Ground Structure (DGS) of the antenna. The proposed patch structure is mounted on a Roger&#x2019;s RT-Duroid 5880 substrate ( $\epsilon _{r}$ &#x003D; 2.2, tan $\delta = 0.0009$ ) and has compact physical dimensions of 27 mm $\times29.5$ mm. The fabricated antenna covers the frequency band from 1.91 GHz to 43.5 GHz for $\text{S}_{11}\leq -10$ dB with a fractional bandwidth of &#x003E; 183.17&#x0025; and has a ratio bandwidth of 22.77:1. This extended bandwidth coverage permits the antenna to operate for wide range of application including 5G and Internet of Things (IoT). The proposed antenna has a very high Bandwidth Dimension Ratio (BDR) of 5761.87 which makes it the best candidate for superwideband antenna. Far field measurements disclose an omnidirectional radiation pattern across the frequency of operation. Further, the farfield Radar Cross Section (RCS) is analyzed through simulation and it is to be noted that relatively low values are obtained through out the frequency of operation. In addition, the compactness of the proposed antenna is theoretically verified with the aid of fundamental dimension limit theorem

Cross subject emotion identification from multichannel EEG sub-bands using Tsallis entropy feature and KNN classifier

Abstract Human emotion recognition remains a challenging and prominent issue, situated at the convergence of diverse fields, such as brain–computer interfaces, neuroscience, and psychology. This study utilizes an EEG data set for investigating human emotion, presenting novel findings and a refined approach for EEG-based emotion detection. Tsallis entropy features, computed for q values of 2, 3, and 4, are extracted from signal bands, including theta-θ (4–7 Hz), alpha-α (8–15 Hz), beta-β (16–31 Hz), gamma-γ (32–55 Hz), and the overall frequency range (0–75 Hz). These Tsallis entropy features are employed to train and test a KNN classifier, aiming for accurate identification of two emotional states: positive and negative. In this study, the best average accuracy of 79% and an F-score of 0.81 were achieved in the gamma frequency range for the Tsallis parameter q = 3. In addition, the highest accuracy and F-score of 84% and 0.87 were observed. Notably, superior performance was noted in the anterior and left hemispheres compared to the posterior and right hemispheres in the context of emotion studies. The findings show that the proposed method exhibits enhanced performance, making it a highly competitive alternative to existing techniques. Furthermore, we identify and discuss the shortcomings of the proposed approach, offering valuable insights into potential avenues for improvements

Determinants of Low Birth Weight in India: An Investigation from a Single Hospital Survey in Madhya Pradesh

Background: Birth weight is one of the most important criteria for determining the neonatal and infant survival. Low birth weight (LBW) is a major public health concern, especially in developing countries, and is frequently related to child morbidity and mortality. LBW is a major public health concern and one of the strongest single risk factors for early neonatal mortality and morbidity. Materials and Methods: About 1000 live newborns on the 1st day of birth and their mothers were studied from the department of obstetrics and gynecology and intensive neonatal care, department of pediatrics of a tertiary care teaching hospital between January 2016 and December 2019. Examinations of mother and newborns were carefully carried out in all cases recorded on a pretested and predesigned pro forma. Results: Mothers weighing &lt;45 kg delivered significantly higher number of LBW babies than normal birth babies. This is statistically very highly significant. It appears that mothers with mid-arm circumference (MAC) 22 cm or less had given birth to much higher number of LBW babies (74.8%), while mothers with MAC &gt;26 cm gave birth to higher number of LBW babies than normal BW babies. This is very highly significant (P &lt; 0.001). Mothers who had taken iron plus folic acid tablets only for few days in any of the trimesters had given birth to higher number of LBW babies while mothers who have taken hematinics throughout pregnancy or taken irregularly had given birth to most of normal birth weight babies. The incidence of LBW was almost 2 ½ times more in joint family (72.6%) than nuclear family. Mothers with moderate to severe anemia have given birth to higher number of LBW babies. Mothers with Hb &gt;10 g% gave birth to higher number of normal BW babies. Conclusion: LBW and premature babies were more prevalent in joint families, with low socioeconomic status, maternal illiteracy, and housewives. With increase in income, both LBW and prematurity decreased reflecting a better distribution of nutrition and care for pregnant and the newborn. Mothers educated till primary school and unskilled workers had higher prevalence of LBW babies

To compare the sensory and motor blockade produced by caudal Bupivacaine and Ropivacaine in pediatric patients

Background &amp; Method: The aim of the study is to compare the sensory and motor blockade produced by caudal Bupivacaine and Ropivacaine in pediatric patients. Patients were randomly allocated to 1 of the 2 groups (n = 25) by using a random number table, to receive caudal block with either Inj Bupivacaine (0.25%) 1ml/kg (Group I) or Inj. Ropivacaine (0.25%) 1ml/kg (Group II). Result: The mean age distribution in Group Bupivacaine and Group Ropivacaine were almost the same without any significant difference. Heart rate and systolic arterial pressures measured at specific time intervals showed no significant difference. Conclusion: Present study was designed to compare the effect of bupivacaine versus ropivacaine used in caudal block in pediatric patients, in a prospective randomized controlled study. Mean motor score at different time intervals postoperatively was more for ropivacaine group but Heart rate and systolic arterial pressures measured at specific time intervals were similar
