Association Between Health Literacy And Oral Health Behaviour Among Informal Sector Workers: A Case Study From North- Eastern Thailand, Aungsumalee Pholpark, Charay Vichatha, Orawan Prasitsiriphon, Napaporn Wanitkun, Thirampha Luphomma

Journal of Demography

Health literacy (HL) has been reported to be associated with health behaviour. However, evidence on HL and oral health behaviour is scarce. This cross-sectional pilot study aimed to compare HL across informal occupation groups and to examine the association between HL and oral health behaviour among informal sector workers in a district in Northeastern Thailand. The result of the study suggests that among 110 participants, general labourers had the lowest HL score compared with agricultural labourers and retailers. A regular dental visit was found to be associated with all eight HL domains: knowledge about service entitlements, resources that support health …

Unlikely Cohabitants: A Collision Tumor Of Metastatic Small Cell Lung Carcinoma And Adrenal Adenoma, Michael Demeritt, Savanna Atwal, Stefan Johnson, Kevin Lightner, Joel Thompson

Advances in Clinical Medical Research and Healthcare Delivery

This case report is the second known publication of a very specific collision tumor, where small cell lung cancer metastasized to an adrenal adenoma. The focus is primarily on multimodal radiologic findings of the developing neoplasm, including CT, MRI, and FDG PET/CT. These findings are compared with established diagnostic criteria for adrenal adenomas and metastases, as identified by the literature and content expert review. Epidemiological data regarding collision tumors is discussed, as well as proposed treatment strategies. Similar topics are elucidated for small cell lung carcinoma. Reporting of this collision tumor adds to the relatively thin body of knowledge of …

Reimagining Health: Calling For Reform Of The Canadian Healthcare System Through Afrofuturism And Speculative Design, Diane Oyedeji Ms, Stephanie J. Kiggundu Ms

Bridges: An Undergraduate Journal of Contemporary Connections

This exploratory essay addresses the health inequalities currently affecting the African/Black diaspora in Canada and proposes a healthcare system reform to address the inequalities. Despite the Canadian healthcare system’s goals of being universal and accessible, there are disparities in African/Black patient representation. This essay proposes a healthcare system reform through incorporating African/Black patient input through the implementation of collaborative design through the lens of Afrofuturism and its values such as inclusivity and empowerment. The goal is to implement a Canadian healthcare system that is equitable, and patient-centered through emphasizing African/Black voices in technological design, clinical practices, and promoting a more …

Wasted Space: Using Parking Lots & Vacant Land To Improve Neighborhood Completeness, Ryan Martyn

Hatfield Graduate Journal of Public Affairs

This study conducts a spatial analysis of Portland, Oregon, focusing on leveraging underutilized areas like parking lots and vacant land—termed "wasted space"—to improve the city's completeness. Central to this investigation is the concept of a "complete neighborhood," characterized by access to daily necessities within convenient active transportation trip. This comprehensive idea encompasses walkability, equitable access to services, and sustainability.

This paper aims to redefine the concept of a complete neighborhood with precision and delve into its implications. The research looks at five regional, town, and neighborhood centers as defined by the city of Portland. These centers act as pivotal hubs …

Effects Of Platelet-Rich Plasma And Platelet-Rich Fibrin Usage In Regenerative Endodontic Treatments: An Analysis Of Root Length And Dentin Thickness, Enes Mustafa Aşar, Murat Selim Botsali, Taibe Tokgöz Kaplan

International Journal of Health and Allied Sciences

Background: Regenerative endodontic treatment aims to relieve symptoms and maintain root development and regeneration of pulp tissue. This study aimed to retrospectively examine and compare the use of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) in the regenerative endodontic treatment (RET) of immature necrotic teeth in terms of clinical and radiographic treatment results.

Materials and Methods: This study included patients who underwent Regenerative Endodontic Treatment (RET) at Selcuk University Faculty of Dentistry between 2014 and 2019, totalling 38 cases. After apical bleeding is induced into the canal, PRP was utilized in 16 cases, while PRF was employed in …


Comparison Of Properties Of Conventional Zinc Phosphate Cement And Zinc Phosphate Cement Containing Sodium Free Bag: An In-Vitro Study, Sanjam Kalra, Nanditha Kumar, Raghavendra Swamy, Thippeswamy Honne Manjunathappa Jun 2024

Comparison Of Properties Of Conventional Zinc Phosphate Cement And Zinc Phosphate Cement Containing Sodium Free Bag: An In-Vitro Study, Sanjam Kalra, Nanditha Kumar, Raghavendra Swamy, Thippeswamy Honne Manjunathappa

International Journal of Health and Allied Sciences

Background: To create bioactive zinc phosphate (ZP) cement with better compressive strength, solubility, sorption, and pH compared to conventional zinc phosphate cement by adding novel sodium-free bioactive glass (BAG) to it.

Materials and Methods: Two test groups were created by mixing BAG in concentrations of 5 wt% and 10 wt% with ZP cement. The control group consisted of conventional ZP cement. Compressive strength (n=90), solubility, and sorption (n=30) were tested. The pH meter was used to measure the pH of the liquid medium (n=30). All tests were conducted for multiple time periods over 28 days. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) …

Streptococcus pneumoniae, a gram-positive cocci bacterium found in the oral cavity and nasopharynx of humans causes acute respiratory infections and pneumonia progression. This study aims to identify highly susceptible, antimicrobial, therapeutic phytochemicals from the leaf extract of the medicinal Carica papaya plant which acts as antibiotic by inhibiting the mechanism of action of Streptococcus species. Using an in silico molecular docking approach, the 3D ligand structures of the screened phytoconstituents of Carica papaya are made to dock with the active pocket of targeted proteins i.e. Cytidine deaminase, 5' methylthionadenosine/S-Adenosylhomocysteine nucleosidase and phosphomevalonate Kinase in Complex with Phosphomevalonate and AMPPNP …
