Knowing an individual's age is necessary for several situations, both in the living and the deceased. The London Atlas uses dental development and eruption to estimate age. Testing the method in different populations is necessary to assess its performance. This study aimed to assess the performance of the London Atlas method in a Russian sample using panoramic radiographs. A sample of 703 panoramic radiographs of Russian individuals (n = 405 females, 57.61% and n = 298 males, 42.39%) with ages between 8 and 23 years were analyzed. The results showed overestimation in individuals from 8 to 14 years and underestimation from 15 to 23 years. The mean difference between estimated and chronological ages did not exceed 0.7 years among individuals with ages below 19 years. The difference increased to over three years in individuals from 20 to 23 years. Statistically significant differences were found between females and males between 17 and 18 years (p<0.05). The London Atlas is suitable for Russian children and adolescents aged between 8 and 19 years; however, it showed unsatisfactory results for application in individuals over 20 years (AU).
Conhecer a idade de um indivíduo, vivo ou morto, é essencial em diversas situações. O método London Atlas utiliza desenvolvimento e erupção dentais para estimar a idade. Testar o método em diferentes populações é importante para avaliar sua performance. Esse estudo objetivou analisar o desempenho do London Atlas em uma amostra de origem russa, utilizando radiografias panorâmicas. Uma amostra de 703 indivíduos russos (n = 405 mulheres, 57,61% e n = 298 homens, 42,39%), com idades entre 8 e 23 anos foram analisadas. Resultados obtidos mostram uma superestimação em indivíduos de 8 a 14 anos e subestimação nos grupos de 15 a 23 anos. A diferença média entre idades estimadas e reais não excederam o valor de 0,7 anos nos indivíduos com idade abaixo de 19 anos. Essa diferença aumentou em até três anos em indivíduos de 20 a 23 anos. Diferenças estatisticamente significantes foram encontradas entre homens e mulheres com 17 e 18 anos (p<0,05). O London Atlas é adequado para crianças e adolescentes de origem russa, com idades de 8 a 19 anos. No entanto, observou-se resultados insatisfatórios para sua aplicação em indivíduos acima de 20 anos (AU).

RESUMO O objetivo deste artigo foi analisar os primeiros passos da recém-criada Federação Paraense de Luta Marajoara (FPLM), e compreender quais os possíveis impactos de sua governança na escolarização e esportivização desta luta. Nesta pesquisa, de cunho qualitativo, a técnica utilizada para a reunião dos dados foi a entrevista não diretiva. Os participantes da pesquisa foram dois membros da FPLM. Constatou-se que a FPLM como instituição autoreguladora estrutura suas propostas de escolarização e esportivização em um contexto de governança esportiva centralizada, estabelecendo-se como detentora de um monopólio sobre a Luta Marajoara ao idealizar intenções voltadas ao impulsionamento local e regional dessa luta brasileira. Contudo, a pesquisa conclui que o longo caminho de "combate" da FPLM se dará entre sua concepção prática autoreguladora em contraste ao sentido crítico e democrático para o reconhecimento da Luta Marajoara.
ABSTRACT The aim of this article was to analyse the first steps of the recently created Paraense Federation of Marajoara Wrestling (FPLM), and to understand the possible impacts of its governance on the schooling and sportivization of this practice. In this qualitative research, the technique used to gather the data was a non-directive interview. The research participants were two members of the FPLM. It was found that the FPLM as a self-regulating institution structures its proposals for schooling and sportivization in a context of centralized sports governance, establishing itself as the holder of a monopoly on the Marajoara Wrestling by idealizing intentions aimed at the local and regional boost of this Brazilian wrestling. However, the research concludes that the FPLM's long "combat itineraries" will take place between its self-regulating practical conception in contrast to the critical and democratic sense for the recognition of the Marajoara Wrestling.

Objective:To investigate the diagnostic value of vaginal color Doppler flow parameters in patients with epithelial ovarian cancer in different FIGO staging.Methods:178 patients with ovarian tumors who were treated by surgery in Dingzhou People’s Hospital from Jul. 2016 to Jul. 2022 were selected, and they were divided into ovarian cancer group (65 cases) and ovarian cyst group (113 cases) according to the results of postoperative pathological diagnosis. According to FIGO staging standards, ovarian cancer was divided into FIGO stage I (18 cases) , FIGO stage II (16 cases) , FIGO stage III (16 cases) and FIGO stage IV (15 cases) . The blood flow parameters of vaginal color Doppler ultrasound were measured, including arterial pulsatility index (PI) , end diastolic flow velocity (EDV) , resistance index (RI) , peak flow velocity (PSV) , serum vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and human epididymal epithelial secretory protein 4 (HE4) . The levels of PI, EDV, RI, PSV, VEGF and HE4 were compared between the two groups and patients with different FIGO stages, and the value of ROC analysis of vaginal color Doppler flow parameters in predicting the occurrence of ovarian cancer was analyzed. The correlation between FIGO stage and vaginal color Doppler flow parameters and serum VEGF and HE4 levels was analyzed by person coefficient.Results:PI and RI levels in ovarian cancer group were (0.79 ± 0.15) , and (0.39 ± 0.12) , lower than those in ovarian cyst group (1.51 ± 0.17) , (0.72 ± 0.16) ; EDV, PSV, HE4, VEGF levels were (13.88 ± 4.18) cm/s, (25.61 ± 4.53) cm/s, (283.92 ± 28.97) pmol/L, and (372.55 ± 38.96) ng/mL, higher than those in ovarian cyst group ( P<0.05) . According to ROC analysis, the best cutoff values of transvaginal color Doppler blood flow parameters for predicting the occurrence of ovarian cancer were PI<1.235, EDV≥10.985 cm/s, RI<0.580, PSV≥22.975cm/s, all P<0.05. The levels of PI and RI in patients with different FIGO stages showed a decreasing trend with the increase of the severity of the disease, while the levels of EDV, HE4 and VEGF showed an increasing trend ( P<0.05) . There was no significant difference in PSV levels between patients with different FIGO stages ( P>0.05) . The correlation analysis showed that FIGO stage was positively correlated with the blood flow parameters EDV and the levels of serum HE4 and VEGF. FIGO stage was negatively correlated with PI and RI ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:There were significant differences in the levels of PI, RI and EDV in patients with ovarian cysts and ovarian cancer at different FIGO stages. The levels of PI, RI and EDV are closely related to the malignant degree of ovarian cancer.

ObjectiveTo investigate the distribution and trend of rehabilitation personnel of China Disabled Persons' Federation (CDPF) system and the people with disabilities (PWDs) using geographical gravity model. MethodsBased on ArcGIS and statistical data, the distribution of geographical center of gravity of the rehabilitation personnel of the CDPF system from 2011 to 2021 was analyzed. According to the economic development, the areas were divided into three regions, and the eastern region included eleven provincial units, the central region includes eight provincial units, and the western region included twelve provincial units. ResultsCompared with 2011, rehabilitation staffs per thousand PWDs increased at 107.5% in 2021, 81.1%, 114.2% and 174.1% for the eastern, central, and western regions, respectively; professional staffs increased at 190.5%, 148.8%, 284.6% and 280.6% for the eastern, central, and western regions, respectively; managerial staff increased at 80.0%, 46.8%, 554.3% and 128.1% for the eastern, central, and western regions, respectively. Compared with 2011, the geographical center of gravity of the rehabilitation personnel moved about 330.9 km in 2021, while the geographical center of gravity of the PWDs moved about 169.64 km. ConclusionThe rehabilitation personnel in the CDPF system is the most in the eastern region and least in the western region. The tracks of the geographical center of gravity of the three kind of rehabilitation personnel in the CDPF system are relatively consistent. The rehabilitation personnel in the eastern region are more concentrated than those in the western region, and the density of the PWDs is more westward than that of the rehabilitation personnel, and coordination is not a perfect match yet. It is necessary to strengthen the rehabilitation personnel allocation in the western region, to balance distribution of human resources for rehabilitation of PWDs among regions.

Résumé
It is well documented that Chagas disease (CD) can pose a public health problem to countries. As one of the World Health Organization Neglected Tropical Diseases undoubtedly calls for comprehensive healthcare, transcending a restricted biomedical approach. After more than a century since their discovery, in 1909, people affected by CD are still frequently marginalised and/or neglected. The aim of this article is to tell the story of their activism, highlighting key historical experiences and successful initiatives, from 1909 to 2019. The first association was created in 1987, in the city of Recife, Brazil. So far, thirty associations have been reported on five continents. They were created as independent non-profit civil society organisations and run democratically by affected people. Among the common associations' objectives, we notably find: increase the visibility of the affected; make their voice heard; build bridges between patients, health system professionals, public health officials, policy makers and the academic and scientific communities. The International Federation of Associations of People Affected by CD - FINDECHAGAS, created in 2010 with the input of the Americas, Europe and the Western Pacific, counts as one of the main responses to the globalisation of CD. Despite all the obstacles and difficulties encountered, the Federation has thrived, grown, and matured. As a result of this mobilisation along with the support of many national and international partners, in May 2019 the 72nd World Health Assembly decided to establish World Chagas Disease Day, on 14 April. The associative movement has increased the understanding of the challenges related to the disease and breaks the silence around Chagas disease, improving surveillance, and sustaining engagement towards the United Nations 2030 agenda.
Résumé
Objective: The aim of the present study was to check the reliability and applicability of new proposed tooth numbering system (TNS) for primary teeth that will aid the dentist to overcome the disadvantages of existing TNS and enable to note the primary teeth in an easier and more precise way. Study Design: This observational questionnaire survey was conducted in an institution consisting 11 questions in English format. Four hundred samples were randomly selected which included under graduates, postgraduates, and faculty. Self-structured questionnaires were given in order to assess the reliability and applicability of the new proposed TNS. Data obtained were subjected to statistical analysis. Chi-square test was used to compare the responses between different study groups, and P value was set at P < 0.05. Results: According to the participants, the new TNS maintains the anatomical midline, easily readable, written and typed though required extra concentration. It is easy to converse and can be followed by beginners. It does not require extra timing and can be used routinely. With mixed dentition, it does not take more time, but there are chances of confusion or overlap while recording. Conclusion: The new Havale's Alphaneumarical Dental Notation system can be used routinely by undergraduates and postgraduates as well as clinicians and can apply or follow the system in regular dental practice.

Identificou-se um paulatino crescimen - to da GPT, embora ainda sem a consolidação de um festival nacional. Os profissionais que atuam junto à CBG contribuíram para mudanças administrativas, apesar de ainda haver dificuldades na constituição do comitê. Constatou-se que a formação de especialistas é realizada funda - mentalmente pelas universidades, sem a participação da CBG. Por fim, é patente a maior atenção ao esporte de alto rendimento, dificultando o desenvolvimento da GPT nacionalmente.
This study analyzed the institutionalization of Gymnastics for All (GfA) within the Brazilian Gymnastics Confederation (CBG), between 1988 and 2018. A documental research and a field research were conduct, including interviews and questionnaires, whose data were treated by content analysis. We identified a gradual growth of GfA, although still without the consolidation of a national festival. The experts which collaborate with CBG contributed to administrative changes, despite difficulties in setting up the committee are still noted. It was found that the instructors training is carried out meanly by universities, without the participation of the CBG. Finally, greater attention to high performance sport is evident, hindering the development of GfA nationally.

Globally, cervical cancer continues to be one of the most common cancers among females. Although screening for cervical cancer has been gradually carried out, the incidence and mortality of cervical cancer in China are still at a high level. So the prevention and treatment of cervical cancer in China still has lots of work to do. The International Federation of Obstetrics and Gynecology (FIGO) gynecological oncology committee revised the staging of cervical cancer in 2018. The new staging changed in terms of stage ⅠB and stage Ⅲ compared with previous FIGO staging. FIGO also provided prevention and treatment strategies and the treatment regimens of each stage, which had an important impact on the prevention and treatment of cervical cancer as well as an important enlightenment for China.

Introduction: Madhumegam is a clinical condition characterised by frequent and excessive urination which ultimately leads to deterioration of seven body constituents and three humours. Its signs and symptoms may be correlated with Diabetes mellitus in modern science. Since, metabolic syndrome has become major cause of morbidity and mortality, identifying its cause and prevention has gained immense importance. Aim: This study aimed at determining the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in Madhumegam (Type 2 Diabetes mellitus) patients and to identify the most critical predictive risk factors of metabolic syndrome. Methods: This hospital based cross sectional study involved 100 type 2 diabetes mellitus patients and was conducted at Ayothidoss Pandithar Hospital, National Institute of Siddha. This study used questionnaire to obtain information on diabetic condition, anthropometric measurements and lipid profile. Metabolic syndrome was defined according to the International Diabetes Federation criteria. Results: The prevalence of metabolic syndrome was 53% in the study population. Elevated triglyceride was the commonest component (77.3%) followed by lowered HDL (51%). Female type 2 diabetic patients had a higher prevalence of metabolic syndrome (54.7%) than their male counterparts (45.3%). With respect to age, individual within the age group of 60-69 had highest prevalence of metabolic syndrome while age group of 30-39 has least prevalence of metabolic syndrome. Conclusion: Elevated triglyceride for men and lowered HDL for women were the strongest risk factors. Metabolic syndrome is a significant health problem and its preventive strategies should focus on early diagnoses and lifestyle modification.
Résumé
Medical education towards a specialty is a core stage of training for medical doctors. The specialty training system in Japan was initially organized by various academic societies and was recently integrated under Japan Medical Specialty Board, which was established in 2014. From April 2018, a revised specialty training system will begin and be based on new program guidelines. Its main concepts are professional autonomy, quality assurance of the medical specialty board and trustworthy medical consultation. As with undergraduate education, global standards are recently required in postgraduate education. Consistent outcome policy throughout undergraduate and postgraduate education and workplace-based assessment can hopefully be established.

Résumé
This study investigates beyond the bifurcated myth of the medical migration of Korean women to Germany in the 1970s, which is known as the “German dispatchment” myth from the Korean perspective and the “development aid” discourse from that of the Germans, by focusing on the newly-released documents from the German Hospital Federation (Deutsche Krankenhausgesellschaft, DKG). The migration was essentially a transfer of labor from a weak to a strong state, and the disparity of state strength characterized the nature of the recruitment mechanism. Both Korea and Germany have romanticized the labor transfer and appropriated the collective experiences of migrants for their own political purposes. In this transnational business, the Korean Overseas Development Corporation (KODCO) and the DKG maintained exclusivity in the labor migration channel and were faithful to their own interests. The DKG, as a representative of the German healthcare industry, was concerned about being criticized for destroying the healthcare system of developing countries by stealing their skilled workforce. They, therefore, tried to influence publicity in Korea and Germany to persuade the people that the recruitment benefited both countries. However, the DKG was aware of the deceitfulness of its “development aid” discourse. The Korean government, which advanced the labor export for the sake of obtaining foreign currency, romanticized it as patriotism and used the term “German dispatchment.” However, the incapacity and corruption of KODCO as an agency from the Korean perspective resulted in criticism regarding its recruitment program. The DKG complained that the selection of incapable personnel coupled with corruption was causing unforeseen financial damage to its member hospitals. Nevertheless, it officially defended its partner for the sake of its own interests, such as avoiding bad publicity and securing the sustainability of the recruitment program. The conflicts regarding nursing tasks and working conditions between Korean nurses and their German colleagues and employers captured in the documents of the DKG trace the origin of the issues in relation to cultural misunderstanding and pervasive racism. The disparity of state strength between the two countries resulted in the subaltern position of Korean female healthcare workers in the global labor market, and they tried to bring forth the best possible outcome while working in a foreign country in unfamiliar circumstances. However, the difficulties with female guest workers from Asia were generally credited to their inability to adhere to the German working style. This study contributes to the existing scholarship on this topic by filling the gaps. Historical research on the medical migration of Korean nurses and nurse-aides to West Germany has relied on limited historical sources. In 2013, the National Archives of Korea transferred official documents regarding these workers that were produced and archived by the DKG, which represented the interests of German healthcare institutions. Its documents on Korean nursing personnel provide supplementary information and display findings in different perspectives. They do not bring forth completely new findings that have never been researched before but are still valuable for delivering concrete evidence on the circumstances of that time, which were previously merely inferred.
