Introduction: Intra-oral and extra-oral tissues are at risk of damage during orthodontic treatment, most commonly oral ulcerations. Clinicians should assess and monitor every aspect of patient’s treatment procedure to achieve an uneventful and successful final result. Objective: To evaluate occurrence of oral ulcerations in patients undergoing orthodontic treatment. To evaluate the most common type of ulceration and to assess the management of such ulcerations by the orthodontists. Materials & Method: A questionnaire-based study was used among Nepalese and international orthodontists. Data were analyzed statistically using descriptive analysis and Chi-square test, p<0.05 was considered to be significant with a confidence interval of 95%. Result: Most common oral ulceration encountered during orthodontic treatment was traumatic ulceration which was managed by symptomatic measures. There was a statistically significant difference in the method of education to the patients among national and international orthodontists. Conclusion: Careful use of instruments, careful fitting and adjustment of the appliances should be done to avoid oral ulcerations during orthodontic treatment. Topical medicines can be used for management of such ulcers. Nepalese orthodontists should focus on using audio-visual aids for patient education as it has great promise in enhancing patient understanding and in prompting behavioral change.

ABSTRACT Background  In 2013, milestone ratings became a reporting requirement for emergency medicine (EM) residency programs. Programs rate each resident in the fall and spring on 23 milestone subcompetencies. Objective  This study examined the incidence of straight line scoring (SLS) for EM Milestone ratings, defined as a resident being assessed the same score across the milestone subcompetencies. Methods  This descriptive analysis measured the frequencies of SLS for all Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME)–accredited EM programs during the 2015–2016 academic year. Outcomes were the frequency of SLS in the fall and spring milestone assessments, changes in the number of SLS reports, and reporting trends. Chi-square analysis compared nominal variables. Results  There were 6257 residents in the fall and 6588 in the spring. Milestone scores were reported for 6173 EM residents in the fall (99% of 6257) and spring (94% of 6588). In the fall, 93% (5753 residents) did not receive SLS ratings and 420 (7%) did, with no significant difference compared with the spring (5776 [94%] versus 397 [6%]). Subgroup analysis showed higher SLS results for residents' first ratings (183 of 2136 versus 237 of 4220, P &lt; .0001) and for their final ratings (200 of 2019 versus 197 of 4354, P &lt; .0001). Twenty percent of programs submitted 10% or more SLS ratings, and a small percentage submitted more than 50% of ratings as SLS. Conclusions  Most programs did not submit SLS ratings. Because of the statistical improbability of SLS, any SLS ratings reduce the validity assertions of the milestone assessments.

Abstract Background The aim of this study is to understand the availability of laboratory diagnosis of gonorrhoea in Shandong province and its meaning in case reporting. Methods Two surveys were conducted among hospitals providing clinical services for sexually transmitted infection(STI) in Shandong Province in 2012 and 2018. The availability of laboratory tests for Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG) and distribution of reported gonorrhea cases were compared among different hospitals provided clinical services for STI in Shandong province. Descriptive analysis and Chi-square were used for statistical analysis. Results Smear, culture and PCR tests for NG were used among 301(74.69%), 123(30.52%), 43(10.67%) hospitals in 2012 and 356(74.48%), 176(36.82%) and 73(15.27%) hospitals in 2018, respectively. Significant differences were observed in the availability of smear among hospitals at different levels (X2 = 12.159, p = 0.000) and with different affiliations(X2 = 4.551, p = 0.033) in 2018. Significant differences were observed in the availability of culture and PCR tests among hospitals at different levels both in 2012 (X2 = 34.532, p = 0.000; X2 = 7.380, p = 0.007) and 2018 (X2 = 49.820, p = 0.000; X2 = 21.658, p = 0.000). The availability of culture and PCR tests for NG among hospitals in 2018 was higher than that in 2012 (X2 = 3.870, p = 0.049; X2 = 4.050, p = 0.044). More hospitals reported gonorrhea cases in 2018 than in 2012 (X2 = 6.768, p = 0.009). A significant difference was observed in distribution of case reporting among hospitals at different levels in 2018 (X2 = 6.975, p = 0.008) and among different types of hospitals both in 2012 (X2 = 52.362, p = 0.000) and 2018 (X2 = 74.478, p = 0.000). Conclusion Poor availability of NG laboratory tests affects case reporting and is a crucial reason leading to high sex ratio and underreporting of gonorrhea cases in Shandong province.

ABSTRACT Purpose: to investigate the satisfaction of deaf people in relation to the health services, to characterize the sample regarding sociodemographic, socioeconomic, and self-perception of deafness, and to verify if there is an association between satisfaction with care, communication, professionals, and self-perception of deafness. Methods: an observational, cross-sectional study conducted with a semi-structured questionnaire in 74 deaf adults. A descriptive analysis of the characterization of the sample and attendance, and an analysis of the association between satisfaction, professionals, self-perception, service used, and schooling level was performed, using the chi-square test. The level of significance adopted was 5%. Results: the sample was composed mainly of women (66.2%), 18 to 28 years old (46.5%), of socioeconomic class D (51.3%), having finished high school (56.76%), and employed as an office assistant or typist (90%), 63.5% self-declared as deaf, 51.3% were bilingual, and 54.4% were not satisfied with the medical care. There was a statistically significant difference between the level of satisfaction of the volunteers with the health care received in relation to the different health professionals who attended them (p< 0.05). Conclusion: most of the population was not satisfied with medical care, although this service was most sought. The type of communication used by the professionals and the presence of an interpreter were not effective. It is necessary to implement strategies to ensure accessibility and comprehensive careto this population.

Objectives: Molar-Incisor Hypomineralization (MIH) is a condition of hypomineralized enamel of systemic origin affecting first permanent molars and frequently permanent incisors. It is considered a global problem and data from South-East Asian countries, including Malaysia are lacking. Hence the aim of this study were to investigate the distribution and severity of MIH in a group of children aged 7-12 year olds attending pediatric dental clinic at Faculty of Dentistry, Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM), Malaysia. Study design: Hundred and fifty four children age 7-12 year-old with mean age of 9.14 ±1.682 had their first permanent molars and permanent incisors were examined at Faculty of Dentistry, UiTM using European Academy of Paediatric Dentistry 2003 (EAPD) criteria for diagnosis of MIH. Children at least one first permanent molar affected were considered as having MIH. Data were recorded and statistically analysed using descriptive analysis and Chi square test. Results: Twenty six of the total examined children (n=154) had MIH (16.9%). There was no statistical difference between males and females in the prevalence of MIH. However, a statistical significant difference was found by age groups. The first permanent molars were more frequently affected (58%) as compared to permanent incisors. Mandibular molars were to have the highest rate of MIH (15.5%). The right and left sides were equally affected. Mild defects were the most frequent lesion type (96.6%). Conclusions: This study revealed that MIH is a common condition (16.9%). Molars were more frequently affected than incisors with mild defects were the most common lesion status. Further studies on this defect amongst Malaysian children are worthwhile.

Background: Preemptive analgesia is a developing clinical concept, which involves administering analgesics before pain stimulation occurs, to prevent the sensitization of the nervous system to further stimuli that can cause pain. Ketorolac has strong analgesic properties oxycodone is a semisynthetic opioid that is synthesized from the alkaloid thebaine opiate. Pain could induce stress hormone such as cortisol. Study to compare ketorolac and oxycodone with cortisol has not been investigated. This study aimed to assess intravenous administration of ketorolac 30 mg compared with intravenous 5 mg oxycodone for pain as measured by cortisol levels post-intervention in surgery performed under general anesthesia. Method: A study randomized controlled trial in double-blind form for patients at dr. Mohammad Hoesin Palembang, who will undergo elective surgery with general anesthesia at the Central Surgical Installation building, with the period September-October 2020. There are 24 study samples, to anticipate dropouts, an added sample size is 10%, so the sample size is 26 for each treatment group. The selection of subjects according to the purpose of the study was carried out by simple random. Data analysis using SPSS ver 22.0 software. Data were analyzed using Independent T-Test, Mann Whitney, and Chi-Square Test. Result: The results showed, there was a significant difference in the effectiveness of intravenous administration of ketorolac 30 mg and intravenous oxycodone 5 mg on pain as measured by cortisol levels in patients undergoing general anesthesia at dr. Mohammad Hoesin Palembang (p = 0.013). The value of cortisol levels in pre- operative patients who will be given general anesthesia at dr. There was no statistically significant difference between Mohammad Hoesin in the two groups (p = 0.107). The value of cortisol levels in preoperative patients who were given ketorolac 30 mg intravenously at dr. Mohammad Hoesin was 9.90 ± 4.2. The value of cortisol levels in postoperative patients who were given ketorolac 30 mg intravenously at dr. Mohammad Hoesin was 17.75 ± 6.08. The value of preoperative cortisol levels for patients who were given oxycodone 5 mg intravenously at dr. Mohammad Hoesin was 12.03 ± 5.10. The value of postoperative cortisol levels for patients who were given oxycodone 5 mg intravenously at dr. Mohammad Hoesin is 14.50 ± 4.75. Conclusion: There was a significant difference in the effectiveness of intravenous administration of ketorolac 30 mg and oxycodone 5 mg intravenously on BSS levels (p = 0.005) and VAS scores (p = 0.001) who underwent general anesthesia at dr. Mohammad Hoesin Palembang.
