AIM: The purpose of this study was to describe the external and internal anatomy of the mandibular premolars. MATERIAL AND METHODS: 100 extracted human permanent mandibular first and second premolars teeth were collected. The length of the tooth from the cusp tip to root apex was measured with the help of Vernier calliper. In case of curved roots, ligature wire was adapted to the root and then straightened and measured. Each tooth was examined for the number of roots, curvature of root, presence of root canal invagination. India ink was injected into the pulp chamber through the access opening with a no.27 gauge needle mounted on a disposable syringe. The ink was then drawn through the root canal system by applying negative pressure to the apical end of tooth with the use of central suction system. RESULTS: The average (mean) length of mandibular first premolar was 22.25 mm. Average (mean) length of mandibular second premolar was 21.90 mm. Mandibular first premolar had a ribbon shaped root canal orifice in 35% of teeth. Mandibular second premolar had a ribbon shaped of root canal orifice in 44% teeth. Mesial invagination of the root was found in 18% of first and 8% second mandibular premolar teeth. 78% had a Type I canal pattern with Type II, Type IV, Type V, Type VI and Type VII canals being identified in 1%, 2%, 13%, 2% and 1% of the teeth respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Complex root canal anatomy frequently found with mandibular premolars among which more common with mandibular first premolars in Indian population.

Im Beitrag werden zwei Verfahren zur Ermittlung der Staubemission an Werkzeugmaschinen vorgestellt. Es werden das „gravimetrische Verfahren“ und die „Ermittlung des Erfassungsgrades“ beschrieben und gegenübergestellt. Das gravimetrische Verfahren zur Ermittlung des luftgetragenen Holzstaubs ist Stand der Technik zur Beurteilung der Staubemission von Holzbearbeitungsmaschinen. Dieses aufwendige Messverfahren mit Staub-Probenentnahmegeräten erlaubt eine Aussage über den Emissionsgrad der untersuchten Maschine. Dagegen quantifiziert die Ermittlung des Erfassungsgrades einer Bearbeitungsmaschine die Effektivität des Absaugsystems bei der Erfassung von Spänen und Stäuben. Ein Vergleich von Gravimetrie und Erfassungsgrad soll eine detaillierte Aussage zu den emittierten Späne- und Staubmengen von Bearbeitungsmaschinen für die Holz- und Holzwerkstoffbearbeitung liefern. Beim Messverfahren Ermittlung des Erfassungsgrades wird davon ausgegangen, dass Späne- und Staubfraktionen ähnlich gut erfasst werden können. Die genaue Zusammensetzung der erfassten und nichterfassten Materialanteile sowie der Partikelgrößen sind derzeit noch Gegenstand der Untersuchungen. Unbenommen davon müssen im Betrieb die nichterfassten Anteile aufwendig vom Benutzer in einem nachgelagerten Prozessschritt aufgesaugt werden. Es wird ausdrücklich darauf hingewiesen, dass die Untersuchung des Emissions- oder Erfassungsgrades einer Maschine nur eine qualitative Aussage zur Staubbelastung in der Umgebung einer Maschine erlaubt. Die Einwirkung beziehungsweise Exposition von Mitarbeitern hängt von Umgebungsbedingungen wie zum Beispiel Raumgröße, Luftwechsel, Sauberkeit, Leistung der Absauganlage, Beeinflussung durch Nachbararbeitsplätze (Bystanderexposition) und nicht zuletzt vom Handling des Bedieners ab. Diese Faktoren werden im Allgemeinen nicht von der Maschine beziehungsweise dem Maschinenhersteller beeinflusst.   This paper presents two methods for determining the dust emission of machine tools. The gravimetric method and the determination of the degree of collection efficiency are described and compared. compared. The gravimetric method for establishing airborne wood dust is state of the art for assessing the dust emission of woodworking machines. This complicated measuring method with dust sampling devices makes it possible to assess the emissivity of the examined machine. In contrast, establishing the degree of collection efficiency for a machining centre quantifies how efficient the suction system collects chips and dust. By comparing gravimetric analyses and the degree of collection efficiency, it is possible to provide a detailed assessment about the amount of chips and dust emitted by machining centres in the machining of wood and wood-based products. The measuring method for establishing the degree of collection efficiency assumes that chip and dust fractions can be collected similarly well. The exact composition of the collected and uncollected material fractions as well as the particle sizes still have to be examined yet. Irrespective of that, the uncollected particles have to be removed during operation in a subsequent, complicated process step by the user. It has to be emphasized particularly that by analysing the emissivity or the degree of collection efficiency of a machine it is only possible to qualitatively assess the dust exposure in the surroundings of the machine. The influence or exposure of workers depends on environmental conditions, such as e.g. room size, air change, cleanness, the efficiency of the suction system, the influence by adjacent machines (bystander exposure) and last but not least the handling of the operator. In general, these factors are not influenced by the machine or rather the machine manufacturer.

Aims The worldwide COVID-19 pandemic is directly impacting the field of orthopaedic surgery and traumatology with postponed operations, changed status of planned elective surgeries and acute emergencies in patients with unknown infection status. To this point, Germany's COVID-19 infection numbers and death rate have been lower than those of many other nations. Methods This article summarizes the current regimen used in the field of orthopaedics in Germany during the COVID-19 pandemic. Internal university clinic guidelines, latest research results, expert consensus, and clinical experiences were combined in this article guideline. Results Every patient, with and without symptoms, should be screened for COVID-19 before hospital admission. Patients should be assigned to three groups (infection status unknown, confirmed, or negative). Patients with unknown infection status should be considered as infectious. Dependent of the infection status and acuity of the symptoms, patients are assigned to a COVID-19-free or affected zone of the hospital. Isolation, hand hygiene, and personal protective equipment is essential. Hospital personnel directly involved in the care of COVID-19 patients should be tested on a weekly basis independently of the presence of clinical symptoms, staff in the COVID-19-free zone on a biweekly basis. Class 1a operation rooms with laminar air flow and negative pressure are preferred for surgery in COVID-19 patients. Electrocautery should only be utilized with a smoke suction system. In cases of unavoidable elective surgery, a self-imposed quarantine of 14 days is recommended prior to hospital admission. Conclusion During the current COVID-19 pandemic, orthopaedic patients admitted to the hospital should be treated based on an interdisciplinary algorithm, strictly separating infectious and non-infectious cases.

Latar belakang: Kolonisasi bakteri didefinisikan sebagai mekanisme utama di dalam patogenesis Ventilator Associated Pneumonia (VAP). Penggunaan suction merupakan salah satu strategi dalam mengurangi jumlah kejadian Ventilator Associated Pneumonia (VAP). Closed tracheal suction system (CSS) dilaporkan memiliki keuntungan dalam aspek mikrobiologi bila dibandingkan dengan open closed suction system (OSS).Tujuan: Mengetahui efektivitas penggunaan closed suction system dibandingkan dengan open suction system pada penderita dengan ventilator mekanik.Metode: Merupakan penelitian Randomized Control Group Pretest-Postest Design with Consecutive Sampling Approach. Jumlah subyek adalah 30 orang yang dibagi menjadi 2 kelompok (15 closed suction system, 15 open suction system). Masing-masing kelompok diberikan oral hygiene tiap 12 jam selama 48 jam. Tiap kelompok diambil sekret dari trakhea sebelum dan sesudah perlakuan, untuk kemudian dilakukan pemeriksaan hitung jumlah dan jenis bakteri. Uji statistik dilakukan menggunakan Wilcoxon dan Mann -Whitney test.Hasil: Hitung bakteria berbeda bermakna pada kelompok I (p=0,001) dan berbeda bermakna pada kelompok II ( p=0,005). Analisis komparatif selisih skor sebelum dan sesudah perlakuan kedua kelompok berbeda tidak bermakna (p=0,008).Simpulan: Penggunaan closed suction system pada pasien dengan ventilasi mekanik mengurangi jumlah bakteri post-intervensi secara signifikan, demikian halnya dengan open suction system. Closed suction system tidak lebih baik dalam mengurangi jumlah bakteri pada penelitian ini.

According to the WHO the radioactive gas radon must be controlled indoors. E.g. by naturally driven suction systems based on thermal buoyancy, also denoted the chimney effect, which exploits the difference of indoor- and outdoor temperature to lower radon levels indoor. This paper presents four case studies showing that the efficiency of such systems to control radon level indoors varies, as the outdoor temperature varies throughout the year. The chimney effect was the driving force in the four single-family houses used as case studies. In two cases it was used to increase the indoor air change rate to dilute the radon concentration indoor, in one case it was used to drive a suction system under the ground slab to prevent radon from infiltrating through the ground slab, and in one case both techniques were used in combination. Measurements showed a correlation between a low radon level indoors and an increased difference between the indoor- and outdoor temperature, with the highest temperature indoor. Likely, the temperature difference can provide the needed suction in such systems. Without this driving force – out of the heating season – an increase of the indoor radon level was seen to occur. The needed suction to lower the radon level indoor did not occur in all cases. However, the efficiency of the system was seen to vary throughout the year, and was limited in periods with little difference between the indoor- and the outdoor temperature. Such needs to be taken into account, when the effect of naturally driven suction systems to reduce the radon level indoor are evaluated.
