Penatalaksanaan Kandidiasis Oral Disebabkan Candida Tropicalis Pada Anak Dengan Gangguan Sistemik, Cane Lukisari, Dwi Setyaningtyas, Mintarsih Djamhari

Dentofasial

Oral candidiasis is an oral mucosal infection caused by Candida albicans (CA) or
non-Candida albicans Candida (NCAC). C. tropicalis (CT) is most virulent NCAC
because it has the most adherence ability to epithelial cells in vitro as well as medium
level proteinase secretion. In addition, CT is the second most common colony found in
human. Although incidence rate of oral infection was low, this species has virulence
potency, lately reported as the mayor cause of candidemia in immunocompromised
patients. This paper reports and discusses oral candidiasis due to CT in a child who
suffered anemia with clinical sign of malnutrition. …

Orthodontic treatment usually involves tooth movement. The orthodontic force as an
extrinsic mechanical stimulus, evokes a biologic cellular response in the periodontal
supporting ligament. At early stage, it causes inflammation of periodontal tissue
which is followed by the release of cytokines, T cell, B cell, and then MMP enzyme.
MMP-8 (collagenase 2) is a member of matrixin subfamily plays an important role in
periodontal ligament remodeling. It has capability to maintain the cellular structure,
integrity, activity, and function of extracellular matrix of periodontal tissue. The main
component of extracellular matrix is tissue protein, i.e. collagen, fibronectin, and

The Academic Lives Of Commuter Students: Examining The Use Of The Physical And Digital Spaces Within The Contemporary University, Rebecca Turner, Rao Namrata, Christie Pritchard, Oliver Webb, Emily Pinn, Asal Baharloo, Harriet Ball

Professional Services

It is estimated that 40% of UK undergraduates commute to study, travelling varying distances, and often daily. Although commuting can be challenging, many learners see it as a way to access university, whilst maintaining existing commitments and support networks, and offsetting growing costs of higher education (HE). This study employed a novel participatory mapping technique to stimulate focus groups of second- and third-year undergraduates who commute. We explored participants’ engagement with their institution’s campus, and online/digital spaces. Our findings show commuters have nuanced and intentional interactions with the University’s physical and digital landscape. We consider how these interactions may be …

Smartphone-Based Ecological Momentary Assessment Of Pain In Older Adults Undergoing Auricular Point Acupressure For Chronic Low Back Pain: Secondary Analysis Of A Randomized Controlled Trial, Nada Lukkahatai, Chitchanok Benjasirisan, Xinran Huang, Hulin Wu, Jennifer Kawi, Jingyu Zhang, Claudia M Campbell, Constance M Johnson, Paul J Christo, Johannes Thrul

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

Background: Chronic low back pain (cLBP) is a prevalent and disabling condition in older adults. Auricular point acupressure (APA), a nonpharmacologic intervention, has shown promise in managing cLBP. However, its impact on daily symptom fluctuations remains unclear. Ecological momentary assessment (EMA), which collects real-time data, offers a method to capture these fluctuations.

Objective: This secondary analysis evaluated the effects of APA on EMA-reported pain intensity and pain interference among older adults with cLBP and examined associations among APA practice patterns, recall-based assessments, and EMA engagement.

Methods: Data were drawn from a published 3-arm randomized controlled trial of 272 adults aged …

Immigration Enforcement And Origin Country Labor Markets, Thomas Pearson

Center for Policy Research

This paper studies how increased immigration enforcement in the destination country impacts labor markets in the origin country. Using variation in Mexican migrant networks and Secure Communities (SC), a policy which expanded local immigration enforcement, I show that the deportation of Mexican migrants from the U.S. increases return migration to Mexico and decreases monthly earnings for workers in Mexico. The negative earnings effects are largest for workers most similar to return migrants in terms of their demographics, occupations, and employment types, and are consistent with increased labor market competition.

Why We Work: Examining The Relationships Between Nurse Compensation, Burnout, And Intention To Leave Nursing, Jacqueline Christianson, Jill Guttormson, Maharaj Singh, Abir Bekhet, Norah Louise Johnson

Creating Healthy Work Environments (CHWE)

Purpose: The ongoing nursing shortage contributes to chronic nurse understaffing, which is associated with care rationing and adverse patient outcomes (Kiekkas et al., 2019 Tubbs-Cooley et al., 2019). Burnout-related attrition from the nursing profession is particularly problematic to the nursing workforce because it is both prevalent and preventable (Shah et al., 2021). Intention to leave the profession prior to anticipated retirement has been associated with burnout, however the nursing shortage has been observed to fluctuate in tandem with the availability of alternative economic opportunities (Benson, 2012). Additionally, many nurses self-report intention to stay in the profession despite burnout for financial …

Computational Modeling Of Enhanced Nonlinear Optical Response In Plasmonic Waveguide Devices With Epsilon-Near-Zero Films, Kevin T. Le, Mark C. Harrison

Engineering Faculty Articles and Research

Silicon photonics faces fundamental limitations in nonlinear applications due to weak Kerr nonlinearity, substantial two-photon absorption, and coupling challenges with subwavelength structures. This work investigates epsilon-near-zero (ENZ) materials integrated into plasmonic waveguide architectures for enhanced nonlinear photonic devices. ENZ materials exhibit nonlinear refractive indices several orders of magnitude higher than conventional materials near their zero-permittivity wavelength, enabling giant optical effects over deeply sub-wavelength interaction lengths. We present finite element method simulations of plasmonic ENZ waveguides, investigating layer thickness optimization for nonlinear enhancement while minimizing optical losses. Initial modal analysis confirms superior field confinement in hybrid plasmonic-ENZ structures compared to conventional …
