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.

Introduction: In little more than a decade, social media has gone from being an entertainment source to a fully integrated part of nearly every aspect of daily life. This study aimed to provide an insight into how orthodontics-related social media posts are looked upon by the Indian population. Material and Methods: Orthodontics-related social media posts were analyzed for the number of likes, shares, and comments. Comments were also scrutinized for determining whether they were appreciation comments or enquiries related to orthodontic treatment and procedure. Posts were collected from 3 platforms: Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. A mixed-methods approach was applied. First, all posts were structured according to a quantitative content analysis. Subsequently, qualitative analysis was performed to detect potential differences between the quality of response to posts on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. Using one-way ANOVA test, differences in the data were tabulated. A Chi- Square test was used to analyze the qualitative differences in the comments, which were scrutinized to check if they were appreciation comments or enquiries/doubts related to the posts. Results: There was a significant difference between the numbers of likes, shares, and comments. Appreciation comments were more in number than enquiries. Instagram had the maximum number of likes, followed by Facebook and Twitter ( P < .00001). Facebook had more shares in comparison to Twitter. Upon an analysis done on the number of comments, Facebook was found to have the highest number of comments, followed by Instagram and Twitter. All the results were significant, with P < .00001. Conclusion: It can be concluded that social media awareness related to orthodontics posts among Indians is gaining pace, and a lot can be achieved using these social media platforms to spread awareness related to orthodontic treatment.

The routine procedure to prepare a Pap smear is done by fixing the slides with 95% ethanol immediately after the sample is taken. This study was performed to determine the alternative method of air-drying and rehydration prior to alcohol fixation instead of conventional method. Paired buccal smears were collected from 50 patients who participated in the study. One set was labeled as (Wet fixed in 95% ethanol) WF and the other one Air-dried fixed (ARF) rehydrated and fixed with coconut oil. The staining quality of the slides was assessed with respect to nuclear details and cytoplasmic details, cytoplasmic staining and background staining. Single blinded study was done. The results were analyzed by Chi square test to compare the defined parameters between the two groups. Air-dried fixed (ARF) slides with coconut oil was significantly better with regard to clearance of background. There was statistically significant difference between the air dried smear rehydrated with coconut oil and normal wet fixed smear. So air dried smear rehydrated with coconut oil can be used as an alternative to wet fixed smear.

Abstract One of the government’s efforts to reduce MMR, which is still high, is the implementation of the Antenatal Care (ANC) program at the primary health center (PHC). Besides, the government also accredits PHC to improve the quality of health services starting in 2015, so it is hoped that ANC achievements will increase. This study aims to determine the relationship between accreditation status and ANC achievements in PHC. The study design was cross-sectional with a sample of 103 accredited PHC. The distribution of PHC samples is seen based on the 2013 Public Health Development Index (IPKM) categorized as low, medium, and high. Analysis of the relationship between accreditation status and the K4 achievement program used the chi-square test. The results of this study indicate that the majority of the PHC in the sample are distributed in areas with a high and medium IPKM areas. The relationship between accreditation status and K4 achievement showed a value of p = 0.034. The logistic regression results showed that when compared with primary - complete accredited PHC, basic PHC had OR = 0.224 (95% CI: 0.064 - 0.786) with p = 0.020 to the proportion of K4 achievements. Meanwhile, the middle PHC had OR = 0.517 (95% CI: 0.146 - 1.828) with a p-value = 0.306. This study concludes that the accreditation status of PHC is related to the proportion of K4 achievements. The proportion of K4 achievements increases with the increase in the level of PHC accreditation. A basic accredited PHC has a chance to achieve K4 by 0.224, lower than a primary – complete accredited PHC. There was no significant difference between middle accredited PHC with primary - complete PHC for the proportion of K4 achievement Abstrak Salah satu upaya pemerintah menurunkan AKI yang masih tinggi adalah dengan pelaksanaan program Antenatal Care (ANC) di puskesmas. Selain itu, pemerintah juga melakukan akreditasi puskesmas untuk meningkatkan mutu pelayanan kesehatan yang dimulai tahun 2015, sehingga diharapkan capaian ANC meningkat. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan status akreditasi terhadap capaian ANC di puskesmas. Desain penelitian ini adalah crosssectional dengan sampel penelitian sebanyak 103 puskesmas terakreditasi. Sebaran sampel puskesmas dilihat berdasarkan Indeks Pembangunan Kesehatan Masyarakat (IPKM) tahun 2013 dengan dikategorikan sebagai IPKM rendah, sedang, dan tinggi. Analisis hubungan status akreditasi dengan program capaian K4 digunakan uji chi-square. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan mayoritas puskesmas yang menjadi sampel terdistribusi pada wilayah dengan IPKM tinggi dan sedang. Hasil analisis chi-square hubungan antara status akreditasi dengan ketercapaian K4 menunjukkan nilai p=0,034. Hasil regresi logistik menunjukkan bahwa jika dibandingkan dengan puskesmas terakreditasi utama-paripurna, puskesmas terkareditasi dasar mempunyai OR = 0,224 (95%CI: 0,064 - 0,786) dengan nilai p = 0,020 terhadap proporsi capaian K4. Sedangkan puskesmas terkareditasi madya mempunyai OR = 0,517 (95% CI: 0,146 - 1,828) dengan nilai p = 0,306. Kesimpulan penelitian ini adalah status akreditasi puskesmas berhubungan dengan proporsi capaian K4. Proporsi capaian K4 meningkat seiring meningkatnya satus akreditasi puskesmas. Puskesmas terakreditasi dasar mempunyai peluang untuk tercapaianya K4 sebesar 0,224 lebih rendah dibandingkan puskesmas terakreditasi utama - paripurna. Tidak ada perbedaan yang signifikan antara puskesmas terakreditasi madya dengan puskesmas terakreditasi utama-paripurna terhadap proporsi capaian K4.

Background: Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic demyelinating, inflammatory, and degenerative disease of the central nervous system. MS gradually limits and deteriorates the patients’ quality of life. Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate and compare the quality of life in patients with MS consuming Fingolimod and Cinnovex. Materials & Methods: In an analytical cross-sectional study, 106 patients with Relapsing-Remitting MS (RRMS) referred to specialized neurology clinics of Guilan University of Medical Sciences were selected for the study using a convenience sampling method (52 patients consuming Fingolimod and 54 patients consuming Cinnovex). Then, we collected their demographic information and medical profile. The patients were assessed by the Hamburg quality of life questionnaire in MS. The obtained data were analyzed in SPSS V. 22 using the Chi-square test, independent t-test, Mann-Whitney U, one-way and multivariate analysis of covariance. Results: There was a significant difference between the two groups in terms of age, number of attacks in the last 6 months, and educational level (P<0.05). After controlling confounding variables, it was found that consumers of Fingolimod had a better quality of life. At the subscales level, this difference was significant only in the mood dimension (F=6.931, P=0.011, η=0.12). Conclusion: Patients consuming Fingolimod reported a better quality of life compared to consumers of Cinnovex. This improvement was mainly found in mood scores.

RESUMO Ao longo da história sempre existiram pessoas com alguma limitação física, sensorial ou intelectual, cuja trajetória foi marcada pela ignorância, indiferença, preconceito e lutas em busca da inclusão social. No Brasil, o censo de 2000 registrou 24,5 milhões de pessoas com algum tipo de deficiência. A avaliação dos deficientes de uma região permite conhecer melhor as condições e realidades nas quais essas pessoas estão inseridas. São poucos os estudos voltados às pessoas com deficiência, especificamente em relação à qualidade de vida dessas pessoas nas regiões do Triângulo Mineiro e Alto Paranaíba de Minas Gerais. Por meio de análise descritiva dos dados, aplicação do teste Qui-quadrado e a utilização da Análise de Correspondência, foi possível conhecer o perfil das pessoas com deficiência nessas regiões. Em ambas as regiões, verificou-se que o domicílio urbano está associado às deficiências visual e motora para habitantes do sexo feminino. A deficiência auditiva está associada ao sexo masculino tanto em domicílio urbano e rural, e verificou-se ainda uma relação entre pessoas de baixa renda e dificuldades relacionada à visão.   Palavras-chave: Qui-quadrado; Análise de Correspondência; Perfil; Associação; Variáveis Socioeconômicas.   ABSTRACT Throughout history there have always been people with physical, sensory or intellectual limitation, whose career was marked by ignorance, indifference, prejudice and struggles in pursuit of social inclusion. In Brazil, the 2000 census recorded 24.5 million people with a disability. The evaluation of the disabled in a region enables better understanding of the conditions and realities in which these people are located. Few studies focused on people with disabilities, specifically in relation to the quality of life of these people in the regions of Triangulo Mineiro and Alto Parnaíba of Minas Gerais. Through descriptive analysis of the data, application of chi-square test and the use of correspondence analysis, it was possible to know the profile of disabled people in these regions. In both regions, it was found that urban household is associated with visual impairments and motor for female population. Hearing loss is associated with males in both urban and rural household, and still found a relation between the poor and difficulties related to vision.   Keywords: Chi-square; Correspondence Analysis; Profile; Association; Socioeconomic Variables.

ABSTRACT Background: Non-mydriatic fundus photography has been shown to be a potential alternative to direct ophthalmoscopy in the emergency department. Panoptic ophthalmoscope is a newer handheld alternative to non-mydriatic fundus camera. Its advantages include greater portability and lower price. Panoptic Ophthalmoscope compatibly utilizes mobile phone’s camera to capture high definition fundus photographs, however lower in quality in comparison with a fundus camera. This study compares the picture quality between panoptic ophthalmoscope (POO) and non-mydriatic fundus camera (NMFC). Patients and Methods: This comparative cross-sectional study was conducted in Lahore General Hospital, Lahore. Three twenty three (323) fundus pictures were taken from two different cameras. One hundred sixty pictures (160) were taken with NMFC and one hundred sixty three (163) with POO. Quality of each picture was assessed by two consultant ophthalmologists independently. The data was computed and analyzed by SPSS version 21. Chi square test was applied to the data. Confidence interval of 0.95 with α of 0.05 was taken. Results: There was statistically significant difference in picture quality of disc, macula, superior and inferior vascular arcades (p<0.001).  Total 122 out of 160 pictures taken by NMFC and 48 out of 163 pictures taken by POO were considered ideal by first ophthalmologist whereas 96 of 160 pictures taken by NMFC and none taken by POO were considered ideal by second ophthalmologist. Conclusion: Quality of images taken with NMFC is significantly better as compared to POO.
