Objective: To evaluate the esthetic perception of the smile according to the variation of the vertical position and the angulation of the upper central incisor (UPI) by dental students (DS) and common people (CP) of three regions of Peru. Materials and Methods: Descriptive cross-sectional design. The sample was 462 adults, divided into 77 for each subgroup of DS and CP of the Lima (Coast), Junín (Highlands) and Loreto (Rainforest) regions. Using the Photoshop® software, a photograph of a woman's smile was modified by varying the vertical position and angulation of the UPI, obtaining images that were evaluated using the analog visual scale. Results: The CP rated better than DS in most categories (p <0.001). The smile best valued by DS in a vertical position was 1mm and 2mm; and for angulation 0°, while for CP 1mm and 0° respectively (p <0.05). Comparing by regions, the DS of Lima gave the lowest rating for 0 ° with 52.63 and those of Junín the highest for 4° with 45.90. The PC of Loreto registered the lowest score for the vertical position categories (p <0.001), while for angulation in Junín it was rated with a lower score than in Loreto for -6 ° and 0 °; and for 4° Lima provided the lowest rating (p <0.001). Conclusions: The esthetic perception of the smile is affected by the variation of vertical position and angulation of the ICS in common people and dental students in the three regions of Peru.

ABSTRACT Introduction The study investigated the use of defects per million medication orders (DPMMO) as a SMART (specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and timely) indicator for monitoring medication safety in admission and discharge orders. The study aimed to develop and test a new indicator as an investigator of medication safety. Methods The study was conducted in 2018 at King Saud Medical City in Riyadh City in Saudi Arabia. A retrospective cross-sectional design was used. The research sample had 292 patients. The selected medication orders included two types of medication orders (admission and discharge order). After sufficient data had been gathered from the hospitals, a statistical analysis was carried out. Results Analysis of admission and discharge orders indicated that defects per million opportunities (DPMO) and DPMMO count were slightly low, while the sigma level for admission orders was slightly high. Thus, the admission order process was slightly better than the discharge order process. Conclusion The DPMMO indicator could serve as a SMART indicator of medical safety. It can be used as a standardized indicator in any healthcare facility, which serves as a recommendation guide in monitoring and evaluating healthcare processes or systems that affect the safety and outcomes of patients.

Detecting the risks for hospital-acquired malnutrition in children can be performed by using nutritional screening tools. One of the screening tools that has been created is Alarm Malnutrition. This study aimed to test the sensitivity and specificity of Alarm Malnutrition in detecting the risks for hospitalacquired malnutrition in comparison to Screening Tool for the Risk on Nutritional status and Growth (STRONGkids). This study employed cross sectional design and involved 168 hospitalized children (1 month to 18 years) at pediatric ward. The data were analyzed using diagnostic approach which resulted in sensitivity and specificity values. The statistical tests showed that the sensitivity and specificity values of Alarm Malnutrition and STRONGKids were 32,2% and 81,6% respectively. These results indicated that this screening tool was not better than STRONGkids which has been previously used in Indonesia. Alarm Malnutrition needs to be developed and improved in order to achieve better performance in detecting the risks for hospital-acquired malnutrition.

The overarching aim of this study was to assess the predictors related to the willingness of Palestinian dental students to receive the COVID-19 vaccine when it becomes available. A cross-sectional study was conducted among a universal sample of dental students in the Palestinian territories. Willingness to get the COVID-19 vaccine was related to the following factors: Demographic characteristics, COVID-19-related experiences, beliefs and knowledge about the vaccine, attitudes toward vaccinations in general, and other factors outlined by the WHO SAGE Vaccination Hesitancy Questionnaire. Four hundred and seventeen students completed the questionnaire (response rate = 41.7%). In general, 57.8% (n = 241) were willing to take the COVID-19 vaccine when it became available to them, 27% (n = 114) were hesitant, and 14.9% (n = 62) were not willing to get vaccinated. The final regression model explained 46% of the variation in the willingness to receive the COVID-19 vaccine as follows: Attitudes towards new vaccines (β = 6.23, p < 0.001), believing in a favorable risk–benefit ratio (β = 5.64, p < 0.001), trust in the pharmaceutical industry (β = 5.92, p = 0.001), believing that natural immunity is better than being vaccinated (β = −4.24, p < 0.001), and having enough information about the vaccine (β = 4.12, p < 0.001). Adequate information about vaccines, their risk–benefit ratios, and natural and acquired immunity are important to build trust and favorable attitudes towards vaccines among future dentists.

Background: Within a century, COVID-19 is the 9th pandemic to worst hit the entire globe. The dental professionals are directly involved while treating patients in an aerosolized atmosphere. Aim: To assess the knowledge of HIV/AIDS and COVID-19 pandemic among dental undergraduate students Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted using a web-based survey instrument (google forms). A total of 366 dental undergraduate students of TMDCH, Chennai participated in the survey. Data obtained was analyzed using SPPS IBM Software. Results: The knowledge on COVID-19 was better than HIV/AIDS, among the dental undergraduate students. Only 25.7% of the respondents had a previous experience of handling HIV positive case and just more than half (56.3%) of the students were willing to treat HIV patient. Mere 25.7% agreed that HIV is a pandemic. For the COVID-19, only 45.6% of the students were confident to treat a positive/suspected patient and just 17.2% knew the types of corona virus. Knowledge on other questions asked was adequate. Dilemma prevailed if COVID-19 could cause diabetes and was air-borne. Conclusion: There has to be an immediate intervention of the dental institutions to raise awareness on pandemics and their protocols while treatment of the patient among dental students through continuing education programs.

This study investigates the effects of age, level of education, and institutionalization on the development of logical thinking. Seven Piagetian tasks, encompassing three levels of difficulty, were administered to thirty-four persons sixty-eight years of age or older. A significant positive relationship was found between success on tasks and educational level. With education controlled, Community-active elders performed significantly better than Institutionalized elders. Within the limitations of a cross-sectional design, results supported the hypothesis that cognitive abilities in old age retain an orderly structure.

The Rh/Si multilayer (ML) thin films are promising optical elements for soft x-rays since they have a calculated normal incidence reflectivity of ∼60% at a x-ray wavelength of ∼13 nm. However, a reflectivity of only 28% has been attained to date for ML fabricated by dc magnetron sputtering. In order to determine the cause of this degraded reflectivity the microstructure of this ML was examined on cross-sectional specimens with two high-resolution electron microscopy (HREM and HAADF) techniques.Cross-sectional specimens were made from an as-prepared ML sample and from the same ML annealed at 298 °C for 1 and 100 hours. The specimens were imaged using a JEM-4000EX TEM operating at 400 kV with a point-to-point resolution of better than 0.17 nm. The specimens were viewed along Si [110] projection of the substrate, with the (001) Si surface plane parallel to the beam direction.

Abstract. Background: Cultivating positive feelings of self in relationships with others can affect perceptions of belongingness and burdensomeness. Aims: The present study examines the relationships of self-compassion, hope, and emotional control to thwarted belongingness, perceived burdensomeness, and suicidal ideation. Method: Participants were 481 college students who completed scales measuring self-compassion, hope, emotional control, thwarted belongingness, perceived burdensomeness, and suicidal ideation. Results: Correlation and parallel mediation analysis results show relationships between self-compassion, hope, and emotional control with perceived burdensomeness, thwarted belongingness, and suicidal ideation. Limitations: The study is limited by its cross-sectional design, sample demographics, and inability to distinguish between individuals with suicidal ideation and those who attempt suicide. Conclusion: The results show that the relationships of self-compassion, hope, and emotional control to perceived burdensomeness, thwarted belongingness, and suicidal ideation are worth further investigation.
