Parenting shapes the development of emotion regulation skills in early childhood, laying a key foundation for social‐emotional adjustment. Unfortunately, high adversity exposure may disrupt parental emotion socialization practices and children's regulatory development. The current study used variable‐ and person‐centered approaches to evaluate links among parental emotion expressiveness, children's observed emotion regulation, and teacher‐reported adjustment among 214 4‐ to 6‐year‐old children experiencing homelessness, an indicator of high cumulative risk and acute adversity. Structured parent‐child interaction tasks were recorded on site in emergency shelters over the summer and micro‐socially coded for parent and child expressions of anger, positive affect, and internalizing distress. We anticipated that parental modeling of predominantly negative emotion expression would be associated with more child dysregulation during parent‐child interaction and worse adjustment at school, as reported by teachers the following school year. Preliminary analyses indicated that children's observed difficulty downregulating anger was associated robustly with teacher‐reported social‐behavioral problems. Latent profile analysis was used to identify three patterns of parental emotion expression characterized by above‐average expression of positive affect, internalizing distress, and anger. Parents' likelihood of membership in the elevated anger profile significantly predicted children's observed difficulty down‐regulating anger and higher social‐behavioral problems at school. In addition to ongoing efforts to reduce poverty‐related risk, supporting adaptive anger regulation in parents and young children may be important for enhancing resilience among families experiencing homelessness and similar conditions of high cumulative risk.

Computer applications to medicine. Medical informatics ,R858-859.7 ,Science (General) ,Q1-390 - Abstract
The data here consists of time-dependent experimental parameters from chemical and biophysical methods used to characterize Aβ monomeric reactants as well as soluble oligomer and amyloid fibril products from a slow (3–4 week) assembly reaction under biologically-relevant solvent conditions. The data of this reaction are both of a qualitative and quantitative nature, including gel images from chemical cross-linking and Western blots, fractional solubility, thioflavin T binding, size exclusion chromatograms, transmission electron microscopy images, circular dichroism spectra, and fluorescence resonance energy transfer efficiencies of donor–acceptor pair labels in the Aβ chain. This data enables future efforts to produce the initial monomer and eventual soluble oligomer and amyloid fibril states by providing reference benchmarks of these states pertaining to physical properties (solubility), ligand-binding (thioflavin T binding), mesoscopic structure (electron microscopy, size exclusion chromatography, cross-linking products, SDS and native gels) and molecular structure (circular dichroism, FRET donor-acceptor distance). Aβ1-40 soluble oligomers are produced that are suitable for biophysical studies requiring sufficient transient stability to exist in their “native” conformation in biological phosphate-saline buffers for extended periods of time. The production involves an initial preparation of highly monomeric Aβ in a phosphate saline buffer that transitions to fibrils and oligomers through time incubation alone, without added detergents or non-aqueous chemicals. This criteria ensures that the only difference between initial monomeric Aβ reactant and subsequent Aβ oligomer products is their degree of peptide assembly. A number of chemical and biophysical methods were used to characterize the monomeric reactants and soluble oligomer and amyloid fibril products, including chemical cross-linking, Western blots, fraction solubility, thioflvain T binding, size exclusion chromatography, transmission electron micrscopy, circular dichroism spectroscopy, and fluorescence resonance energy transfer.

Eco-friendlybiosynthesis of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) and gold (Au NPs) nanoparticles by using Punica granatum and C. reticulata extracts were synthesized efficiently. Ag and Au NPs with sizes 8–10 nm and 30–40 nm were successfully synthesized and extracts serve as capping agents. Forming of NPs was confirmed through UV-visible spectra, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectra (FTIR) studies. The effect of NPs on the luminescence of Eu(TTFA)3 and Sm(TTFA)3 complexes was investigated. Luminescence intensities of the complexes were enhanced several times in the presence of silver and get quenched due to reabsorption of Au NPs. The nonlinear optical properties of NPs were calculated using open aperture Z-scan and degenerate four-wave mixing in the femtosecond region. The toxicity and antimicrobial activities of Ag and Au NPs were studied. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The Ecofriendly, cost-effective bio-synthesis of gold nanostructures (Au NSs) were synthesized by using Daucus carota subsp. Sativusand Cucumis sativus extracts efficiently. The plasmonic peaks of Daucuscarota subsp. Sativus and Cucumis sativus extract synthesized Au NSs exhibited at λmax = 554 nm and λmax = 560 nm, owing to excite of surface plasmon vibrations of Au NSs. The formation of NSs is due to the ionization of phenolic groups of vegetable extract. These extracts act as to reduce and capping agents in the formation of nanostructures. Transmission electron microscope (TEM) images of Au NSs revealed that they are in spherical and triangle shapes. The spherical shape of Au NSs of average diameters is 51 nm and 53 nm respectively. The effect of NSs on the luminescence of Eu(TTFA)3 complexes was investigated with 350 nm excitation. Luminescence quenching is observed for Eu3+ with different concentrations of Au NSs in an exponential fashion. In both cases, the electric-dipole and magnetic dipole transitions are quenched with an increase of Au NSs. The quenching is occurring owing to the re-absorption of NSs. Nonlinear optical studies of metal NSs are estimated with a Z-scan technique using 800 nm, 110 fs pulses at 1 kHz repetition rate. Au NSs exhibited reverse saturable absorption (RSA) due to excited state absorption (ESA) and third-order nonlinear absorption coefficients for both Au NSs are of the order of 10−10cm2/W. Au NSs can be used as luminescent probes and optical limiters. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this communication, we carried out the systematic investigation of nonlinear absorption and scattering properties of Aluminium nanoparticles (Al NPs) in various polar and non-polar solvents. Al NPs were synthesized with pulsed Nd:YAG laser operated at 1064 nm by ablating Al target in polar and non-polar liquid environment like chloroform, chlorobenzene, toluene, benzene, and carbon tetrachloride. Synthesized Al NPs colloids of various solvents differ in appearance and UV-Vis extinction spectra exhibit absorption in the UV region. The characterization of Al NPs performed by Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) studies reveal that NPs are made up of a well crystallized Al inner part (bright zone) embedded with an amorphous metal Al shell (dark region). Growth, aggregation, and precipitation mechanisms which influence the optical properties and stability of NPs are found to be related to the dipole moment of the surrounding liquid environment. The nonlinear absorption and scattering studies are performed by open aperture Z-scan technique with 532 nm under nanosecond pulse excitation. The Z-scan measurements are fitted theoretically to estimate both two-photon absorption (TPA) and nonlinear scattering (NLS) coefficients. In polar solvents like chlorobenzene, chloroform synthesized Al NPs exhibited higher TPA, NLS coefficient values, and lower optical limiting threshold values in comparison with partially polar solvent like toluene and non-polar solvents like benzene and carbontetrachloride. These results indicate the potential use of Al NPs as a versatile optical limiting material. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Groundnut is an important grain legume and oil seed crop grown all over the world. Fluorescent Pseudomonads are beneficial bacteria that inhabit the root zone of plants and increase the growth of plants by a wide variety of mechanisms. In our studies,, we have assessed the morphological and biochemical characteristics of 24 fluorescent pseudomonads isolated from groundnut rhizosphere collected from Rayalaseema region of Andhra Pradesh. All the Pseudomonas fluorescens (Pf) strains showed development of fluorescent pigments under UV light. Morphological studies indicated that they have displayed (i) rod-shaped, (ii) smooth shiny surface, (iii) gram-negative reaction (iv) motility and (v) growth even at 410C. None of the strains were positive for the indole, and voges-proskauer test. All strains were positive for oxidase, citrate, catalase, and gelatin liquefaction test; 58% were starch hydrolysis-positive, 29.16% were methyl red-positive and 62.5% were H2S-positive. The present study proved that these Pf strains have potential plant growth-promoting activities. Our future studies are directed in establishing the plant growth-promoting effects of these Pf strains under Greenhouse and field conditions on groundnut. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Psychosocial risk exposure in childhood is associated with a greater probability of emotional, behavioral, and academic problems. It is not surprising that children who experience homelessness, a marker of high cumulative risk, show significant emotional and behavioral problems and lower academic achievement than other children, including impoverished children who are not homeless. Nonetheless, some children manifest positive adjustment despite the hazards associated with homelessness, and it is important to identify protective influences that might be targeted for intervention. One potential factor is mastery motivation (MM), or the drive to control and master challenges, theoretically associated with resilience and empirically linked to adaptive cognitive outcomes in low-risk children. Currently, there is little research on MM in high-risk young children overall, and data are particularly limited on the key question of whether MM is associated with better outcomes in domains crucial for school readiness, including socioemotional adjustment, self-regulation, and academic competence. This study examined observed MM in 85 young children ages 3 to 5 living with their parents in an emergency shelter. Children completed behavioral tasks to assess MM, and measures linked with school readiness were assessed directly or by parent report. Higher MM was associated with better social and emotional functioning and emotion regulation but not math achievement or executive functioning. Follow-up analyses indicated that MM was indirectly associated with prosocial behavior through better emotion-regulation abilities. Implications are discussed for further research and for interventions designed to address educational disparities and promote school success for children experiencing homelessness.

- Abstract
Background: The study was designed taking into consideration the drawbacks of periodontal dressing and healing properties of curcumin. The aim was to assess and compare the effect of Curcumin gel (Curenext) and noneugenol periodontal dressing (Coe pak) on tissue response, wound healing in the early stages, and pain post periodontal flap surgery in patients diagnosed with chronic periodontitis. Materials and Methods: Twenty patients requiring periodontal flap surgery were allotted to two groups at random, one receiving periodontal dressing and the other receiving curcumin for this cross over split-mouth study. Flap surgeries were performed on 2 quadrants with 3 weeks' interval. After suture removal, postoperative sites were assessed for tissue response (tissue color [TC] and tissue edema [TE]) and early wound healing as primary outcomes of the study. The secondary outcome was pain assessment and the number of analgesics taken by the individuals. Results: The two groups showed no significant differences with respect to tissue response, early wound healing, and pain perception. Curcumin group consumed lesser number of analgesics as compared to the one with periodontal dressing. Conclusion: It was confirmed that periodontal dressing and curcumin are effective in reducing the TE, normalizing the TC, enhancing the wound healing and reducing the pain perception. Curcumin can thus be used as an alternative to periodontal dressing. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objectives: Few studies have explored the implications of parent socialization of positive emotions in children. Further, when considering outcomes of children, the focus has been primarily on links between parental emotion socialization and maladaptive child outcomes such as psychological distress, rather than adaptive outcomes such as life satisfaction. This study investigated whether recollection of supportive and unsupportive maternal and paternal responses to one's expressions of positive and negative emotions in childhood was linked with life satisfaction and psychological distress in young adulthood, and consideration of whether parent emotion socialization and young adult outcomes were indirectly associated via young adult emotional experience. Method: 262 college students completed instruments evaluating parental emotion socialization practices in childhood, emotional experience, life satisfaction, and psychological distress. Results: Fathers' supportive responses to positive emotions in childhood was indirectly associated with greater young adult life satisfaction through greater young adult positive emotional experience. Fathers' supportive responses to negative emotions in childhood was indirectly associated with less young adult distress through less young adult negative emotional experience. Mothers' supportive responses to negative emotions in childhood was indirectly associated with greater young adult life satisfaction through greater young adult positive emotional experience. Finally, fathers' unsupportive responses to negative emotions in childhood was indirectly associated with greater young adult distress through greater young adult negative emotional experience. Conclusions: These results, if replicated with prospective longitudinal methodology, suggest that mother and father figures play unique roles in shaping the emotional lives of children, with long-term implications for mental health and well-being.

Offline data synchronization is a technique used to design an application that works without an internet connection. In the proposed work, offline synchronization methods for android have been enhanced along with the security and prioritization in the data file. The synchronization process has to be first validated and hence a speech recognition mechanism has also been applied in the proposed solution. Speech authentication systems along with unique feature selection and classification techniques are applied for providing the security. In addition to security, the proposed framework presents a set of cache memory which is updated when the user is online in order to optimize the synchronization process. The priority algorithm works according to user preferences. The files which are not in use for a long time are removed from the cache of offline user and the files which are getting used by the user often, get migrated to the cache memory automatically. The proposed job does not just emphasize user access, but also provides a safe way to manage the data. The proposed job also manages memory well so that the user does not find any hysteresis.

Formation of ripples or laser induced periodic surface structures (LIPSS) on semiconductor material like Silicon (Si) and on metals like Aluminum (Al) and Copper (Cu) and fabrication Silver (Ag) nanostructures in polymer matrix by femtosecond (fs) laser direct writing are reported in this paper. Laser irradiation was performed at normal incidence in air using linearly polarized Ti:Sapphire fs laser pulses of ~ 110 fs pulse duration and ~ 800 nm wavelength. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) is utilized for imaging surface morphologies of laser written structures, revealing that surface morphology depends on various material processing parameters like laser fluence, polarization, material properties and number of applied pulses. Formation of polymer capped Ag nanoparticles inside the laser written microstructures is confirmed by the appearance of surface plasmon absorption band at 448 nm in the UV-Vis extinction spectrum. Nanoparticles formed were spherical in shape with an average particle size less than 20 nm. This technique is efficient, universal, cost-effective, and environmental friendly, which has potential applications in the fabrication of micro/nanostructures on variety of materials for microelectromechanical systems, nanoelectronics and nanophotonics.

Aim: Specific bacterium or a group of bacteria are found to be responsible for causing periodontal destruction and are associated with specific forms of disease. This study was carried out to identify 5 major periodontopathic bacteria in the subgingival bacterial sample of plaque of patients with aggressive (AgP) and chronic generalized periodontitis (CGP). Material and methods: The study was carried out in 40 patients divided into 2 groups- aggressive and chronic periodontitis. Pooled subgingival plaque samples were obtained with a sterile curette from the deepest pocket in each quadrant and transported to the laboratory for species identification using anaerobic culturing. Results: P.gingivalis, Pintermedia, Fnucleatuin and T.forsythus were isoloted at a greater rate in CGP thanAgP. Aactinoinyce- teincoinitans was most prevalent and isolated at a greater frequency from LAgP. However A.a could not be isolated from any subjects with CGP. Statistical analysis of the data showed a significant difference between CGP and LAgP when mean counts of the bacteria was considered. Conclusion: Not much difference in the specificity of major periodontopathic bacteria was found in CGP and GAgP. Identification of microbiota in the subgingival environment alone could not differentiate between different periodontal diseases. Further studies are required to identify particular strains of these periodontopathic bacteriathat are responsible for tissue destruction. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract: The spectroscopic properties of tellurite glasses of composition (in mol%) TNKNd: (70− x)TeO2–15Nb2O5–15K2O–xNd2O3 (x =0.1, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 and 2.5) and TNLNd10: 69TeO2–15Nb2O5–15Li2O–1.0Nd2O3 and lithium metaborate glass of composition LBNNd10: 89LiBO2–10Nb2O5–1.0Nd2O3 have been investigated using absorption and emission spectra and decay curve analysis. An energy level analysis has been carried out considering the experimental energy positions of the absorption and emission bands, using the free-ion Hamiltonian model. The spectral intensities have been calculated by using the Judd–Ofelt theory and in turn the radiative properties such as radiative transition probabilities, emission cross-sections, branching ratios and radiative lifetimes have been estimated. The decay curves at the lower concentrations are exponential while they show a non-exponential behavior at higher concentrations (⩾1.0mol%) due to energy transfer processes. The effective lifetimes for the 4F3/2 level are found to decrease with increase in Nd2O3 concentration for all the glasses under investigation. The non-exponential decay curves have been well-fitted to the Yokota–Tanimoto model with S =6, indicating that the nature of energy transfer is of dipole–dipole type and energy migration also plays an important role. The results obtained have been compared with Nd3+-doped phosphate, fluorophosphate, lead borate, tellurite, germanate and silicate glasses and Nd3+-doped YAG ceramic and Ca2Nb2O7 crystals.

Abstract: The effect of hydrostatic pressure and active ion concentration on the luminescence spectra and lifetimes of Eu3+-doped P2O5–K2O–BaO–Al2O3–KF glasses have been studied up to 44.8GPa at room temperature. The 5 D 0 → 7 F 0–3 transitions exhibit pressure induced red-shift with different magnitudes. The crystal-field (CF) strengths at ambient condition are 338, 332 and 350cm−1 for 0.05mol%, 2.0mol% and 6.0mol% Eu2O3-doped glasses, respectively. These values slowly increase with increasing pressure and finally reach 518, 410 and 381cm−1 at the highest pressure. The observed increase in the CF strength parameter is found to have an almost cubic dependence on pressure. The luminescence intensity ratio, 5 D 0 → 7 F 2/5 D 0 → 7 F 1, of the Eu3+ ions is found to decrease with increasing pressure. The decay curves follow single exponential nature for all the three concentrations of Eu2O3-doped glasses for the entire pressure range studied. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The luminescence spectra and decay curves for the 4G5/2 level of Sm3+ ions in 55.95P2O5+14K2O+6KF+14.95BaO+9Al2O3+0.1Sm2O3 glass, referred to as PKFBASm01, have been studied as a function of pressure up to 40.5 GPa at room temperature. With the increase in pressure, a continuous red shift of the 4G5/2→6H9/2, 7/2, 5/2 transitions and a progressive increase in the magnitude of the crystal-field splittings for these transitions are observed. The decay curves for the 4G5/2 level of the Sm3+ ions in PKFBASm01 glass are found to exhibit single exponential behavior at ambient pressure and become non-exponential at higher pressures, accompanied by shortening of lifetimes. A generalized Yokoto-Tanimoto model has been used to explain the pressure-induced non-exponential nature of the decay curves. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Unusual changes in the oral tissues are sometimes manifestations of a serious haemopoietic disorder. The unusual signs and symptoms of idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura include mucosal bleeding such as petechiae, ecchymosis bleeding from the nostrils from the gums. However gingival enlargement in not a common finding in such cases. Understanding of the oral findings is essential in the management of patients and close co-operation between patient, dentist and haematologist is needed. However, radical treatment may not be required in all patients with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura. Through history, physical examination and laboratory investigations is needed to categorize patients into mild, moderate and severe cases and the management follows the classification. In this article we present a rare case of gingival enlargement with acute thrombocytopenia in a 14-year-old girl following viral infection. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Surface plasmon resonance was used to investigate the kinetics, affinity, and specificity of binding between anti-Aβ (beta-amyloid) IgG antibodies and oligomeric Aβ. Two factors were needed to accurately characterize the IgG binding kinetics. First, a bivalent model was necessary to properly fit the kinetic association and dissociation sensograms. Second, a high concentration of IgG was necessary to overcome a significant mass transport limitation that existed regardless of oligomer density on the sensor surface. Using high IgG concentrations and bivalent fits, consistent kinetic parameters were found at varying sensor surface ligand densities. A comparison of binding specificity, affinity, and kinetic flux between monoclonal and natural human anti-Aβ IgG antibodies revealed the following findings. First, monoclonal antibodies 6E10 and 4G8 single-site binding affinity is similar between Aβ oligomers and monomers. Second, natural human anti-Aβ IgG binding readily binds Aβ oligomers but does not bind monomers. Third, natural human anti-Aβ IgG binds Aβ oligomers with a higher affinity and kinetic flux than 6E10 and 4G8. Both the current analytical methodology and antibody binding profiles are important for advances in antibody drug development and kinetic biomarker applications for Alzheimer’s disease.

Abstract: In order to develop efficient optical amplifiers with broad and flat gain profiles in the near-infrared range an active phosphate matrix codoped with Er3+ and Yb3+ rare earth optically active ions has been studied by carrying out steady-state and time-resolved luminescence spectroscopies. Taking advantage of the high absorption transition probability of the Yb3+ ions, these ions are excited with cw 980nm radiation from a commercial laser diode and subsequently de-excited by efficiently transferring energy to the Er3+ ions, producing an intense emission at around 1.5μm at which wavelength-division-multiplexing devices work. From the experimental data, the emission cross-section σem (λ) of the 4I13/2 → 4I15/2 transition at 1.5μm has been calculated using the Füchtbauer–Landerburg method. The result of this calculation, together with the absorption cross-section σabs (λ), allows the gain cross-section G to be estimated. Other important spectroscopic parameters associated with this transition, such as full width at half maximum FWHM, effective bandwidth Δeff and lifetime of the 4I13/2 level τexp , have been measured and analysed as a function of the Er3+ concentration. As figures of merit, FWHM×σem (λ), Δeff ×σem (λ) and σem (λ) × τexp calculations have been carried out. Comparing the obtained values to those reported in other Er3+-doped materials, the phosphate glasses doped with 1mol% of Yb2O3 ions and 1–2mol% of Er2O3 can be considered excellent candidates for developing broadband optical amplifiers, providing a large gain cross-section that covers the C (1530–1565nm) and the L (1565–1625nm) bands in the optical telecommunication window.

- Abstract
Background: Around 80% of preterm births (PTBs) occur spontaneously. Various biomarkers are being evaluated to assess the possible role of chorioamniotic inflammation in PTBs., Aim: The aim of this study was to establish the accuracy of serum bio-markers( cut off values of ferritin and alpha-fetoprotein [AFP] at midtrimester) along with cervical length [CL] assessment to predict preterm delivery among low-risk women., Methods: Three hundred low-risk pregnant women attending the antenatal clinic of a tertiary health care facility were included and underwent CL measurement during mid-trimester by transvaginal ultrasonography and their serum levels of ferritin and AFP were recorded. All were followed up till delivery., Results: Receptor-operated characteristic curves for ferritin, AFP, and CL were constructed. Area under curves and Youden Index calculated for each marker were very low (<0.5) which is statistically considered very poor for a screening test., Conclusion: Serum ferritin and AFP together with CL measurement in the second trimester of pregnancy had poor discriminatory value in predicting preterm delivery among low-risk asymptomatic pregnant women., Competing Interests: There are no conflicts of interest., (Copyright: © 2023 International Journal of Applied and Basic Medical Research.)

- Abstract
Scrub typhus and dengue fever are common infectious diseases in tropical regions, and both have overlapping clinico-epidemiological and laboratory features, which often pose a diagnostic challenge. This case report discusses a 15-year-old girl from the Indian subcontinent who presented with acute undifferentiated febrile illness (AUFI) without typical features of any of the common tropical infections. She was diagnosed with co-infection of scrub typhus and dengue fever using laboratory tests with good diagnostic accuracy. The patient was managed on an ambulatory basis, treated with oral doxycycline, and showed symptomatic improvement within 48 hours. Co-infections in endemic areas present a significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. This case report highlights the importance of considering co-infections in the differential diagnosis of AUFI, especially during the post-monsoon period, and the use of highly sensitive and specific tests for the diagnosis of co-infections., Competing Interests: The authors have declared that no competing interests exist., (Copyright © 2023, Kannabiran et al.)

- Abstract
Introduction End-stage renal disease (ESRD) has increased in India due to the growing load of non-communicable diseases. The most prevalent psychological issue among these patients has been identified as depression, which may have an impact on treatment success. Around 20% to 90% of hemodialysis patients experience depression. The current study aimed to determine the prevalence of depression among patients undergoing hemodialysis as well as the relationship between this condition and the sociodemographic and clinical parameters of the patients. Methods Basic demographic information and particulars of chronic morbidity, duration, and the number of cycles of hemodialysis per week were noted. The Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) score was administered to screen for depression. Results A total of 92 participants were enrolled in the study; 69 (75%) were males. The mean age of participants was 52 years. Hypertension (100%) was the most common co-morbidity followed by diabetes mellitus (38%). The mean duration of chronic kidney disease was 3.9 years. The majority (68.5%) had hemodialysis twice per week. Forty-one percent (41%) screened positive for borderline clinical depression or more. The mean BDI score was 17.07. The number of hemodialyses per week had a significant relation with depression with an odds ratio of 4.16 and 95% CI of 1.4-12.38. Conclusion Depression is prevalent among patients with chronic kidney disease who are on dialysis. The management of this preventable illness demands a repertoire of measures such as launching a program for the detection and treatment of depression combining psychiatric professionals and social volunteer organizations., Competing Interests: The authors have declared that no competing interests exist., (Copyright © 2022, Shanmukham et al.)

- Abstract
Background Irrational prescriptions have an ill effect on health as well as on healthcare expenditure. Prescription auditing is an important tool to improve the quality of prescriptions, which in turn improves the quality of health care provided. Regular and timely audits of antibiotic prescriptions can prevent irrational antibiotic usage. Introduction The inappropriate use of drugs is a global health problem, especially in developing countries like India. In 2015, during the 68th World Health Organization (WHO) Regional Committee for Southeast Asia, all Member States of the region, including India, endorsed the "Regional Strategy for Patient Safety in the WHO Southeast Asia Region (2016-2025)" aiming to support the development of national quality of care and patient safety strategies, policies, and plans and commit to translating those objectives of the Regional Strategy into actionable strategies at country level. Methodology A retrospective observational study was conducted in a 330-bedded, National Accreditation Board for Hospitals & Healthcare Providers (NABH)-accredited tertiary healthcare center. The study period was six months, from January 2019 to June 2019. Results Ninety-five point four-five percent (95.45%) of the doctors attended the sensitization program and all accepted following the standard prescribing protocols. Sixty-nine point seven percent (69.7%) of the doctors were aware of the availability of drugs in the hospital pharmacy stores. Seventy-four point two-four percent (74.24%) of the doctors were aware of the ongoing prescription audits. Seventy-two point two-seven percent (72.27%) of the treating doctors were of the opinion of selecting the appropriate antibiotics based on hospital antibiogram. The importance of antibiograms from cultures and environmental surveillance was followed well only after sensitizing all the treating doctors. Ninety-five point four-five percent (95.45%) of the doctors were of the opinion of taking the permission of a higher authority to start high-end antibiotics. Seventy-seven point one-zero percent (77.10%) doctors recommended sample collection prior to antibiotic administration. Sixty-three percent (63%) of the patient's clinical condition improved with the antibiotics prescribed prior to the culture report. Conclusion By judicious use of antibiotics, we can reduce the evolution of antibiotic resistance in bacteria and extend the useful life of antibiotics that are still effective. Antibiotic use patterns must be studied to address complications resulting from a large number of antibiotics., Competing Interests: The authors have declared that no competing interests exist., (Copyright © 2022, Jyothi et al.)

- Abstract
Introduction Basic knowledge of anatomy is crucial in providing predictable, safe, and efficacious mandibular anesthesia as the mandibular nerve is vulnerable to injury during dental procedures and other surgical manoeuvers. The lack of availability of the appropriate topographical bony landmarks for the location of the branches of this nerve often accounts for iatrogenic injuries and the failure to obtain adequate local anesthaesia. Hence we aimed to describe the topographical landmarks of the branches of the mandibular nerve and their variations in the infratemporal fossa. Methodology In 16 formalin-fixed cadavers, irrespective of the sex of the cadavers, bilateral dissection of the infratemporal fossa was done after identifying the necessary bony landmarks. The mandibular nerve and its branches were traced out and the required measurements were taken using the digital vernier caliper. The results were statistically analysed for mean, range, and standard deviation. Results The masseteric nerve is 15.87+/-1.64 mm superior to the lowest point on the mandibular notch. The lingual nerve in the third molar area is at the depth of 24.75+/-2.38 mm from the angle of the mandible (gonion), making an angle of 50° with the base of the mandible. 20.13+/-3.1 mm inferior to the mandibular notch is the precise location of the mandibular foramen which allows access to the inferior alveolar nerve. The incidence of accessory mandibular foramen in the dissected samples is 9.37%. Conclusion The topography of the masseteric nerve, lingual nerve, and inferior alveolar nerve was studied using constant and reliable bony landmarks in the cadaver which might aid effective dental and facio-maxillary surgical procedures. However, the outcome of this study could not be applied to paediatric patients as the subjects were restricted to adult cadavers., Competing Interests: The authors have declared that no competing interests exist., (Copyright © 2021, Kaliappan et al.)

- Abstract
Background: Pain management after performing flap surgery is of paramount importance. Taking into consideration the side effects of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and the advantages of homeopathic medication, the analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties of ibuprofen (NSAID) and traumeel (homeopathic AID) following flap surgery were evaluated., Materials and Methods: A randomized, triple-blinded, split-mouth clinical trial, with a sample size of 20 (age range of 20-60 years) was planned. Subjects included patients diagnosed with moderate chronic generalized periodontitis. Two quadrants for each subject were operated on, with an interval of 3 weeks. Random assignment of the operated quadrants to the following medication protocols was carried out by a third person: Ibuprofen, 600 mg and traumeel, 600 mg (up to three tablets) every 8 h for first 24 h and SOS (Si Opus Sit/if needed) thereafter for a period of 1 week as pain medication, respectively. After 1 week, sutures were removed. Primary outcomes were mean postoperative pain (modified visual analog scale) and number of tablets consumed in 1 week. The secondary outcome was postoperative tissue response. Any adverse effects were recorded., Results: Number of tablets consumed and pain perception was lower in traumeel compared to ibuprofen Group ( P < 0.001). A better tissue response was shown by the group treated with traumeel as compared to the ibuprofen receiving group ( P < 0.05). Three patients reported adverse drug reactions after consumption of ibuprofen., Conclusion: The present study suggested that while managing pain following flap surgery, traumeel was superior as compared to ibuprofen, with minimal or no side effects., Competing Interests: There are no conflicts of interest., (Copyright: © 2019 Indian Society of Periodontology.)

- Abstract
ZnO nanoparticles doped with transition metal (Ag, Ni, Mn) were prepared by using co-precipitation method. Absorption spectra showed exciton peak for ZnO nanoparticles at 367 nm and for Ag, Ni, Mn doped ZnO nanoparticles at 328, 354 nm and 342 nm respectively. Photoluminescence dynamics showed shallow level-trap and deep-level emission where the intensity of deep-level trap increases with transition metal doping due to the oxygen deficiency. Nonlinear absorption measurements showed the two-photon absorption increasing with transition metal following the trend Ag > Ni > Mn when excited with 532 nm, 30 ps laser pulses. The transition metal doped and un-doped ZnO nanoparticles can be used as optical limiters.

- Abstract
Lu3Ga5O12 nano-garnet powders doped with Ho(3+)/Yb(3+) ions have been prepared using a citrate sol-gel technique. The structural and morphological properties have been investigated by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The materials are found to exist in single phase of cubic garnet structure with an average particle size of around 45 nm. The Ho(3+)/Yb(3+)-doped Lu3Ga5O12 nano-garnet powders give rise to an intense green and weak red emission of Ho3+ ions under 457.5 nm direct excitation. Moreover, when the Yb3+ ions are excited at 950 nm a very bright green luminescence of the Ho3+ ions is observed by the naked eyes even for such low laser power as 10 mW and the intensity of the red emission have been increased compared to that found under direct excitation of the Ho3+ ions. The power dependency and dynamics of the infrared-to-visible upconverted luminescence confirm the existence of different two-photon energy transfer processes. All these results have been compared with those obtained for other garnets doped with similar lanthanide ions which suggest that the Lu3Ga5O12 nano-garnets are potential materials for light emitting devices.
