Potentiometric Examination of Patients with Chronic Odontogenic Maxillary Sinusitis in the Presence of Galvanic Pathology
(Journal of Diagnostics and Treatment of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology, 2023-10-31) Tymofieiev, Oleksii; Cherednichenko, Andrii
Purpose: To determine the values of potentiometric parameters in the oral cavity present between metal inclusions, as well as between metal inclusions and the mucous membrane of the alveolar process in patients with chronic odontogenic maxillary sinusitis with galvanic pathology. Methods: 56 patients with chronic odontogenic maxillary sinusitis were divided into two observation groups, which were subjected to potentiometric and general clinical examination methods. Results: In 30 patients with chronic odontogenic maxillary sinusitis with the presence of galvanism (compensated and decompensated forms) in the oral cavity, chronic inflammation in the maxillary sinus occurred without pronounced clinical symptoms, and in 26 patients with oral galvanosis (atypical and typical forms), the clinical symptoms of inflammation in the maxillary sinus were severe with an aggressive course and complications. Conclusions: Based on an examination of 56 patients with chronic odontogenic maxillary sinusitis in the presence of galvanic pathology in the oral cavity, we found that in some types of this pathology, i.e., galvanosis, inflammatory disease in the maxillary sinus is aggressive, with pronounced clinical symptoms, frequent exacerbations of the inflammatory process, the presence of many postoperative inflammatory complications and recurrence of the disease.

Study of Changes in the State of Local and General Nonspecific Resistance of the Organism in Patients with Odontogenic Maxillary Sinusitis at Galvanic Pathology in the Oral Cavity
(Journal of Diagnostics and Treatment of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology, 2024-01-31) Tymofieiev, Oleksii; Cherednichenko, Andrii
Purpose: To determine the state of local and general nonspecific resistance of the organism in the dynamics of surgical treatment of patients with odontogenic maxillary sinusitis in the presence of galvanic pathology in the oral cavity and to clarify the causes of development of postoperative inflammatory complications. Methods: We examined 56 patients with odontogenic maxillary sinusitis in the dynamics of surgical treatment (sparing highmorotomy) in the presence of fixed metal dentures in the oral cavity. The age of the patients ranged from 29 to 58 years. Results: In patients with odontogenic maxillary sinusitis with the presence of oral cavity galvanosis (atypical and typical forms), i.e. in the subjects of the II observation group, gingivitis was detected in almost 100% of cases, which were located in the area of fixed metal dental prostheses. The most pronounced inflammatory phenomena in the oral cavity were in subjects with stamped-soldered metal constructions, as well as in patients with chromium-cobalt (chromium-nickel) metal inclusions or in persons with defects in the metal-protective coating with titanium nitride (areas of damage and abrasion of titanium nitride metal-protective coating). Conclusions: On the basis of the conducted examination of patients with odontogenic maxillary sinusitis in the presence of galvanic pathology in the oral cavity, it was found that in some forms of this pathology, i.e. galvanosis, there is a decrease in local and general nonspecific resistance of the body, which in turn leads to the development of inflammatory complications in the maxillary soft tissues (in 100%) and in the bone wound of the jaw, i.e. osteomyelitis (in 34.6%).

Important Stage in the Development of Bariatric and Metabolic Surgery and Its Science: Bariatric Surgery Cases and Reviews: A New Peer-Reviewed Journal
(Bariatric Surgery Cases and Reviews, 2014-12-11) Reiti, Andrian; Fesenko, Ievgen
The purpose of this inaugural editorial is to introduce to the attention of the global surgical community a new open access and peer-reviewed journal titled Bariatric Surgery Cases and Reviews (BSCR). The term “bariatrics” was coined in 1961 by Dr. Raymond E. Dietz, from the Greek root “bar-” (“weight”), suffix “-iatr” (“treatment”), and suffix “-ic” (“pertaining to”). And the goal of bariatric surgeries is to modify the stomach and intestines to treat obesity and related diseases. Bariatric surgery is rapidly developing in the world in general and in Ukraine in particular. According to data, around the globe, the number of performed bariatric surgeries has doubled in 8 years. So, this journal is designed to meet the need of authors for a highly specialized journal dedicated specifically to the publication of case and review articles in metabolic and bariatric surgery. Together with the publisher, OMF Publishing, our editorial team adopted a publishing model that allows articles to be published in the Article in Pressstatus immediately after the review process and acceptance of the manuscript for publication. Thanks to article numbering, articles will not have to wait in line for typesetting but will be immediately published and assigned to a specific annual volume. Thus, similarly to other international open access journals, BSCR will operate in a continuous publication mode where articles are posted online as soon as they have completed the production process in a fully citable form with a digital object identifier (DOI). The article also provides an analysis of the publishing models of international surgical peer-reviewed journals with relevant conclusions for new journals. This paper sheds light on the process of choosing a name for a journal and the processes of state registration of a peer-reviewed online journal as an online media. Moreover, the original registration documents in Ukrainian are provided. In sum, we will paraphrase a quote from Noah Bowman: “Some people see surgeries as techniques, we see stories waiting to be told.” Thus, we sincerely invite national and foreign authors to submit their interesting manuscripts for peer review and further publication in this new unique bariatric and metabolic surgery journal.
