Objective: The aim of our study is to access the knowledge, attitude, practiceand prevalence of needle-stick injuries among dental practitioners including both dentists andstudents of Islamic International Dental Hospital, Islamabad. Study Design: Cross sectional.Setting: Islamic International Dental College and Hospital. Period: June to July 2016. Samplesize was 200 (111 dentists and 89 students). Materials and Methods: Questionnaires havingquestions regarding knowledge and attitude of students and dentists towards NSI weredistributed. For the interpretation of results, frequencies and percentages were calculated andrepresented as bar graph and pie charts. Chi square test was applied to compare results ofdentists and students and P values were calculated in order to check the significance of results.Results: The results showed that dentists (59.3%), at IIDH, were at a higher risk of needle stickinjuries as compared to students (40.6%). They had sufficient knowledge regarding NSI. Amongall the other departments, the prevalence of NSI was highest in the oral surgery department.Majority of the incidents occurred during needle recapping and disposal. Only about half ofthe students (51.4%) and dentists (50%) reported their injuries, the major reasons for whichwere carelessness and not considering it too important. Conclusions: Needle stick injuries areresponsible for a number of blood borne diseases and are prevalent more among the dentistsof IIDH as compared to dental students. NSI are mainly associated with recapping needles,while administering injections and cleaning instruments.

The Relationship

Perawat dapat memiliki risiko pada saat berinteraksi dengan pasien salah satunya yaitu tertular atau menularkan infeksi. Infeksi adalah masuk dan berkembangnya mikroorganisme dalam tubuh yang menyebabkan sakit yang disertai dengan gejala klinis baik lokal maupun sistemik. Cedera akibat tusukan jarum pada petugas kesehatan merupakan masalah yang signifikan dalam institusi pelayanan kesehatan dewasa ini diperkirakan lebih dari satu juta jarum digunakan setiap tahun oleh tenaga perawat. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis hubungan praktik menyuntik aman dengan kejadian cedera tertusuk jarum di RSUD Kota Kendari. Penelitian ini menggunakan observasional analitik dengan pendekatan cross sectional dengan jumlah sampel 45 orang yang diambil secara proportional random sampling dengan menggunakan uji chi square test. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa ada hubungan praktik menyuntik aman (X2hit= 7,487, p value = 0,006) dengan kejadian cedera tertusuk jarum di RSUD Kota Kendari. Kesimpulan penelitian adalah semakin rendah penerapan praktik menyuntik aman maka peluang kejadian cedera tertusuk jarum akan lebih tinggi. Disarankan agar pihak Rumah Sakit dapat memberikan sosialisasi tentang menyuntik aman pada perawat pelaksana dan melakukan tindakan sesuai SPO dan adanya pelatihan serta supervisi dari atasan secara berkesinambungan. Kata kunci: Praktik menyuntik aman, kejadian cedera tertusuk jarum Abstract The Relationship Between the Practice of Safe Injections and The Incidence of Needle Stick Injuries. Nurses can have a risk when interacting with patients, one of which is contracting or transmitting an infection. Infection is the entry and development of microorganisms in the body that cause pain accompanied by clinical symptoms both locally and systemically. Injury from needle puncture to health workers is a significant problem in institutions of health care today estimated at more than one million needles used every year by nurses. The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between the practice of safe injections and the incidence of needle stick injuries in Kendari City Hospital. This study used observational analytic with cross sectional approach with a sample of 45 people taken by proportional random sampling using the chi square test. The results showed that there was a correlation between the practice of safe injections (X2hit = 7.487, p value = 0.006) with the incidence of needle stick injuries in Kendari City Hospital. The conclusion of the study is that the lower the application of safe injecting practices, the higher the chance of the occurrence of needle puncture injuries. It is recommended that the Hospital can provide socialization about safe injections to the implementing nurses and take action according to the SPO and the existence of training and supervision from superiors on an ongoing basis. Keywords: Practical safe injection, needle-injured incidence

The aim of this study is to evaluate the self-confidence of undergraduate students and thus to highlight the strengths and weaknesses of oral surgery education from the students' perspectives. A survey was conducted by preparing a questionnaire to assess the the self-confidence of students in performing oral surgery. Survey questions have been imported to Google Forms®. It was then electronically delivered to the students through the Turkish Dental Association. Regarding the data, besides the frequency and percentage distributions, the relationship between the variables was analyzed using the Chi-Square test. A total of 615 students, including 386 female and 229 male students, participated in this study. Of the students, 62.4% were 5th year and 37.56% were 4th year students. According to the survey, it was observed that male students and 5th year students were in general more confident in themselves. Students had low self-confidence in differentiating between odontogenic and non-odontogenic pain and recognizing malignant lesions or lesions with high malignant potential. In the oral surgery curriculum, subjects in which the students have issues should be identified and more emphasis should be placed on them. Oral pathology as well as head and neck anatomy courses should be emphasized further, priority should be given to case-based courses, and reminder presentations should be made at certain intervals. In addition, considering that practice is important for gaining self-confidence, students must practice more under the supervision of instructors in the areas in which they feel inadequate.

The Relationship

489 Background: Immune checkpoint inhibition (ICI) has greatly improved clinical outcomes for pts with mUC and other cancers. ICI is associated with a class of AEs, deemed irAEs due to immune activation. Nonetheless, biomarkers associated with irAE are still lacking. We hypothesized that the immune response against neoantigens is partly responsible for irAEs and investigated the association between irAEs, TMB and response to ICI. Methods: We identified patients with mUC at Dana Farber Cancer Institute who were treated with ICI (monotherapy or combination) and had available tumor sequencing data through Oncopanel. TMB was calculated using the number of non-synonymous exonic mutations per megabase. The severity of irAEs was graded using CTCAE v.5.0. Mann-Whitney U test was performed to identify association between TMB, incidence and grade of irAEs. A cut-off of 10/mb was assigned for TMB. Fisher’s exact test was used to evaluate the radiologic response between pts with and without irAEs and low vs. high TMB. Multivariable linear regression was used to assess the relationship between TMB, irAEs and response. p-values were adjusted using Benjamini-Hochberg method. Results: Of 101 pts with mUC who met the inclusion criteria, 32 (32%) reported irAEs. 6 (6%) were grade (G)1, 20 (20%) were G2, and 6 (6%) were G3. Median(m) time on therapy was 84 days for pts without irAEs and 88 days for pts with irAEs. Pts with irAEs had higher mTMB (15.4/mb) compared to pts with no irAEs (9.8) ( p = 0.01). In pts on monotherapy (93), those with irAEs (n=27) had a higher mTMB (15.13/mb) compared to pts with no irAEs (n=66) (mTMB = 10.20/mb) ( p = 0.01). Out of 94 pts with radiological data, response was achieved in 16 (50%) pts with irAE vs 10 (16%) pts with no irAE ( p < 0.001). When both irAE and response were included in a multivariable regression, the association between irAE and TMB was not significant ( p = 0.4). Pts with both irAE and high TMB had a response rate of 56% which was significantly higher than those with either irAE but low TMB (28.6%) or high TMB but no irAE (21.2 %) or low TMB and no irAE (10.3%) (Chi-square test p = 0.002; FDR corrected p-values for individual comparisons in Table). There was no association between TMB and irAE grade. Conclusions: Higher TMB was associated with higher incidence of irAEs in pts with mUC on ICIs. Moreover, pts with both high TMB and irAEs exhibited better response rates than those with only high TMB or irAEs, suggesting that they may provide complementary tumor and host characteristics. Further evaluation in mUC is needed to confirm this relationship between TMB, irAEs and response in a larger cohort and explore specific mutational signatures that may be associated with irAEs.

ABSTRACT Aim The aim of this study was to define the prevalence and severity of temporomandibular disorders (TMD) among Iranian dental and nondental students who attended Shiraz University of Medical Sciences. Materials and methods The samples consisted of 200 subjects, 100 dental and 100 nondental students (equal distribution between males and females). Subjects ages ranged from 18 to 30 years (24.07 ± 2.93). A functional evaluation was performed using the Helkimo dysfunction index (Di). Data were evaluated by the Chi-square test. Results Among the total study population, 71% showed some degree of dysfunction. Prevalence ratio in dental students was 80%, while in nondental students was 62% (p < 0.05, odds ratio = 0.679). With respect to gender, women (80%) were more affected than men (62%). A significant relationship was found between gender and the occurrence of TMD (p < 0.05). Conclusion A high prevalence of signs of TMD in Iranian university students was seen which was greater in dental students and women. Clinical significance The results of this study showed that the prevalence of TMD among dental students and women was significantly higher than nondental students and men. These findings might be due to poor postural style or emotional stress during dental practice. How to cite this article Bahrani F, Ghadiri P, Vojdani M.
