    Abstract: Schizophrenia is a chronic psychosis marked by multiple bioenvironmental and immunological dysregulation with its intricate role in etiopathogenesis of periodontal disease remaining unclear. Hence, the aim of this study is to determine the association between periodontal disease and schizophrenia in relation with cortisol levels. Methods The study is in descriptive design comprised of 40 subjects randomly selected (20 schizophrenic patients as Group A and 20 healthy volunteers as group B). All the study participants underwent complete periodontal examination including scoring of gingival index (GI), plaque index (PI), Probing depths (PD) and clinical attachment loss (CAL). Salivary cortisol levels are estimated using ELISA. Link between schizophrenia and periodontal disease is described in relation to cortisol levels with elimination of other shared risk factors, such as tobacco smoking and xerostomia. Results Significant higher values of periodontal parameters are observed in Group A with schizophrenic patients (GI 2.467 ± 0.528; PI 2.402 ± 0.526; PD 2.854 ± 0.865; CAL 1.726 ± 3.096) than Group B with healthy subjects (GI 0.355 ± 0.561; PI 0.475 ± 0.678; PD 1.493 ± 0.744; CAL 0.108 ± 0.254). However, cortisol levels are lower in schizophrenic group (0.190 ± 0.059) than non-schizophrenic group (0.590 ± 0.228) ruling out the possible role of cortisol in periodontal disease severity associated with schizophrenic patients. Conclusion Findings of this study, provides ground evidence for consideration of schizophrenia as a risk factor for periodontitis and demands greater emphasis on management of schizophrenic patients in dental setting similar to other comorbid disorders such as diabetes mellitus and also incorporating periodontal care measures in the clinical guidelines for schizophrenia management.

    Abstract: Public mental health concerns have been raised during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) pandemic. The aim of this study was to assess the psychological impact of the pandemic on dental students in Saudi Arabia. Methods A cross‐sectional analytical study was conducted among dental students from different universities in Saudi Arabia selected using 2‐stage cluster sampling. The psychological impact was assessed using the validated Arabic version of the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale–21 Item questionnaire. The data were analyzed using SPSS software. The Mann–Whitney U and Kruskal–Wallis tests were used as appropriate. A chi‐squared test was used to compare the proportions between the sociodemographic data and logistic regression analysis to identify variables associated with the student's responses. Results The internal consistency of the scale was excellent (0.954). A total of 697 dental students participated voluntarily in the study; their mean age was 21.76 ± 1.859 years, and 54.7% were female. The majority (96.1%) were single, and 69.4% lived in a household of 〉 5 persons. Significant differences in mental health outcomes were evident for gender, university, and survey time. Elevated levels of depression, anxiety, and stress were recorded among 60.64%, 37.02%, and 34.92%, respectively, of the students. Females, students who lived alone, and junior students were more likely to experience psychological problems during the COVID‐19 pandemic. Conclusions The presence of elevated levels of depression, anxiety and stress among dental students highlights the need for psychological empowerment strategies involving institutional counseling services.

    In: Healthcare, MDPI AG, Vol. 10, No. 10 ( 2022-10-07), p. 1961-
    Abstract: This study aimed to evaluate the association between periodontitis and chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) via cone-beam-computed tomography (CBCT) using the Lund–Mackay staging system. CBCT images from different departments of the school of dentistry, at Prince Sattam University were evaluated for the presence of rhinosinusitis. All the CBCT scans were exposed for multiple indications, and no patients had a scan exposed solely for this study. The Lund–Mackay staging system was used to measure the CRS in the CBCT. Descriptive statistics for the frequencies and percentages were used to summarize the data. Logistic regression was used to examine the associations between periodontitis and CRS. Each variable was assessed individually by using multivariable analysis. Collinearity issues among the variables were solved to select a limited set of factors using a stepwise variable selection procedure. A total of 399 CBCT images were included in the current research. Logistic regression showed that only gender was significantly associated (p = 0.0001) with the presence of CRS. However, a stepwise variable selection procedure included gender and bone loss as significantly associated with CRS. No significant difference was observed between unilateral vs. bilateral CRS in gender, bone loss, medical status, and periodontitis. However, only gender showed a significant difference in both bilateral vs. no CRS and unilateral vs. no CRS. Periodontitis is not associated with CRS. However, gender has a significant influence on CRS.

    Abstract: Previous comparative studies revealed that a substantial proportion of blunt chest trauma often goes unnoticed when evaluated \with chest X-rays. The computed tomography scan, therefore, could play an important role in the initial assessment of patients following blunt chest trauma. This review aims to highlight the findings of chest computed tomography scans and compare them to chest radiography in patients with thoracic trauma resulting from blunt trauma. A systematic search across diverse online databases was performed in PubMed, MEDLINE, and Embase databases. The study selection process was guided by inclusion criteria that focused on individuals afflicted with chest injuries following accidents, engaged in a direct comparison of the diagnostic efficacy of chest CT scans and conventional chest X-rays, and was available in English. In the medical literature, chest radiography and CT imaging provide essential insights to guide clinical decision-making. The precise ability to distinguish between typical and atypical indications of damage across both superficial and deeper anatomical structures holds considerable importance during the initial assessment of such cases. A systematic approach, exemplified through the proposed "outside-in" sequence, offers a proficient strategy to evaluate all potential injuries comprehensively. This approach streamlines the evaluation process, ultimately empowering the medical team to promptly and effectively identify and manage these injuries.

    Abstract: Background: Postoperative pain is a potential adverse side effect of oral surgeries, and attempts should be made to prevent or minimize it. This study compares efficacy of preemptive ibuprofen and dexamethasone protocols for pain prevention or control after surgical implant placement. Methods: This prospective, double‐masked, parallel‐group, placebo‐controlled, randomized clinical trial included 117 patients with planned dental implant placement. Patients were assigned to receive one of three different protocols: 1) 600 mg ibuprofen 1 hour before surgery and another 600 mg 6 hours after the first dose; 2) 4 mg dexamethasone 1 hour before surgery and another 4 mg 6 hours after the first dose; or 3) placebo. Rescue medication (1,000 mg acetaminophen) was made available to each patient, and they were instructed to take it as necessary. Pain intensity was evaluated via a 101‐point numeric rating scale and a visual analog scale, and discomfort was evaluated using a four‐point verbal rating scale hourly for the first 8 hours after surgery and three times daily for the following 3 days. Results: Ibuprofen and dexamethasone significantly reduced pain (Kruskal–Wallis; P 〈 0.05) up to 3 days after surgery and discomfort ( P 〈 0.05) up to 2 days after surgery compared with placebo treatment. Both treatments reduced the number of painkillers taken and increased time before the first painkiller was taken ( P 〈 0.01). Conclusion: Steroidal dexamethasone is as effective as non‐steroidal ibuprofen for preventing or controlling postoperative pain and discomfort after surgical implant placement.

    Abstract: Background: Medication non-adherence poses a significant challenge in healthcare, leading to suboptimal treatment outcomes. This systematic review aims to evaluate the effectiveness of different interventions in improving medication adherence. Methodology: A comprehensive search was conducted to identify relevant studies. Inclusion criteria encompassed interventions targeting medication adherence and reporting quantitative measures of adherence outcomes. The selected studies were assessed for quality, and data were extracted for analysis. Results: The review included a total of 14 studies. Interventions involving tailored phone calls or educational materials did not yield significant improvements in medication adherence. Conversely, interventions such as face-to-face counseling sessions and self-management programs showed promise in improving adherence. Nurse-led interventions and pharmacist-led consultations did not demonstrate significant improvements. Similarly, interventions involving stroke physician specialist assessments, behavioral feedback, medication reviews, and motivational interviewing did not yield significant improvements. A pooled analysis of various interventions across different healthcare settings showed a moderate but not statistically significant difference in medication adherence. Conclusion: The findings from this systematic review suggest that interventions tailored to individual patient characteristics and involving personalized support and education show promise in improving medication adherence. However, interventions relying solely on tailored phone calls, educational materials, nurse-led care, pharmacist-led consultations, stroke physician specialist assessments, behavioral feedback, medication reviews, or motivational interviewing may not consistently improve adherence. Keywords: Medication Adherence, Patient Compliance, Family Medicine, Education, Behavioral Modification.

    A Cross-Sectional Evaluation of Dental Professional’s Knowledge of Locally Delivered Antimicrobial Agents and their Application in Periodontal Practice
    Medknow ; 2023
    In:  Journal of Pharmacy and Bioallied Sciences Vol. 15, No. Suppl 2 ( 2023-07), p. S923-S926

    In: Journal of Pharmacy and Bioallied Sciences, Medknow, Vol. 15, No. Suppl 2 ( 2023-07), p. S923-S926
    Abstract: Dentists must employ locally delivered antimicrobial agents (LDAs) in a way that is in line with current recommendations from the scientific literature and the guidelines set by professional organizations. Considering the dearth of research on this topic, it is not known what strategies are adapted when using LDAs in their periodontal practice. So, the purpose of this research was to investigate how LDAs are utilized by dental professionals in their distinct periodontal practices. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study used a closed-ended questionnaire. Dental professionals received electronic copies of the eight-item questionnaire. The questionnaire assessed the relevance of LDAs, how frequently they are used, which ones are used most, the number of patients who receive them, their understanding of pharmacological activities, and their knowledge of current treatment guidelines. The questionnaire’s validity and reliability were evaluated before being presented to participants. Using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS), the input was analyzed. Results: A total of 120 dental professionals, with an average age of 34.7 years, answered the questionnaire. Half of these individuals have no history of ever using LDAs. The most frequent LDA used in its different forms was chlorhexidine gluconate (CHX), followed by tetracycline. The majority of participants placed LDAs (80%) in less than 10 patients. Less than half acknowledged the different LDAs and their pharmacological activities. Not even 70% of clinicians were up-to-date on the current European Federation of Periodontology (EFP) guidelines. None of the participants discounted the significance of LDAs in periodontal care. Conclusion: Dental professionals regard LDAs as essential to periodontal therapy. Yet, they lacked knowledge about general, pharmacological, and clinical aspects. The patient experience with LDAs was limited by an inappropriate deployment pattern.
