    Abstract Background: Post-stroke 20%-40% of patients develop spasticity which can quadruple total cost of care. This impact can be reduced by affordable treatment options for focal spasticity.
    Objectives: The primary objective of the study was to compare changes in Passive Range of Movements in patients with focal post-stroke spasticity from pre-treatment to end of 1 month of treatment with anti-spastic agents. The secondary objectives were to measure the changes in Modified Ashworth, and Brunnstrom Recovery Staging during the same period.
    Materials and methods: This prospective longitudinal cohort study was conducted in a tertiary level rehabilitation center. One hundred and three adults with post-stroke spasticity participated. The patients received one of the four options: Phenol, Onabotulinum toxin, Bupivacaine and Hyaluronidase.The main outcome measures were the following: Changes in Passive Range of Movement (PRoM), Brunnstrom staging (BRS) and Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS).
    Result: Post intervention testing at 1 month was done. Each agent significantly improved BRS (1.10, 95% CI 0.8-1.4, P = 0.001) and PRoM (32.28, 95% CI 27.66- 36.89, P = 0.001), while reducing MAS (0.39, 95% CI 0.01-0.77, P = 0.05). In addition, subgroup comparisons were done with phenol as a reference for all three outcome measures. There was a significant difference in the improvement of Brunnstrom staging for Bupivacaine (0.52, 0.094-0.95, 0.02) compared to phenol. Similarly, Hyaluronidase showed better improvement in MAS (0.39, 0.01-0.77, 0.05) compared to Phenol.
    Conclusion: There was a significant difference in PRoM, MAS and Brunnstrom staging from baseline to end of 1 month long anti-spasticity treatment.

    Abstract Background: Oral diseases affect close to 3.5 billion people worldwide and there has been a call by the World Health Organization (WHO) to integrate oral health into the Universal Health Coverage (UHC) agenda.
    Objectives: To collate and synthesise information regarding the status of integration of oral health into the health systems covered by UHC across the 11 countries in the South East Asian Regional Office.
    Methods: Drawing on the framework of the six building blocks of health systems as devised by WHO, we compared the public dental care coverage models, with a focus on outpatient dental care in these countries. We gathered this information from publicly available resources, databases and peer-reviewed publications to populate the template guided by the WHO Health System Building Blocks.
    Results: We found a poor access to oral health care, lopsided distribution of manpower, rickety health information systems, and private sector domination and inadequate or absent financing mechanisms for outpatient procedures. The private sector was dominant in all countries except Thailand and Srilanka. Financing was absent in most countries and deficient in Thailand and Indonesia. Dental workforce was deficient in most countries except India, Srilanka, and Thailand. Health information systems were weak with no dental items under price control. Better UHC indicators did not guarantee a lower oral disease burden.
    Conclusions: Our review highlighted the close connection between service quality and human resources, governance, and finance. There is a need to establish standardised dental treatment guidelines that are uniformly adopted across countries, integrate oral health into national health and development programs, push for functional oral health research through collecting robust surveillance, economic, and social impact data and the development of cost-effective strategies tailored to each country's unique needs.

    Abstract We propose a novel high-performance, interpretable, and parameter \& computationally efficient deep learning architecture for tabular data, Gated Adaptive Network for Deep Automated Learning of Features (GANDALF). GANDALF relies on a new tabular processing unit with a gating mechanism and in-built feature selection called Gated Feature Learning Unit (GFLU) as a feature representation learning unit. We demonstrate that GANDALF outperforms or stays at-par with SOTA approaches like XGBoost, SAINT, FT-Transformers, etc. by experiments on multiple established public benchmarks. We have made available the code at github.com/manujosephv/pytorch_tabular under MIT License.

    Abstract Background: Analgesic use needs to be regulated due to its adverse effects. This study aimed to analyse the change in prescription rates and patterns of the analgesics prescribed for various oral conditions and to analyse their trends across different age groups and gender to promote rational prescription of drugs and eventually influence regulatory policies.
    Methods: Secondary analysis was conducted on medical audit data collected from the private health sector in India. The prescription rate per 1000 persons per year was calculated from May 2013 to April 2016 using the mean projected population (PP) of India. Cross-tabulations were conducted to analyse the prescription rate and their changes across different age groups, gender and oral conditions.
    Findings: The mean analgesic prescription rate was highest among the 20-40 age group, and the highest increase was noted in 'non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) combinations' (3.56 per 1000 persons per year) from May 2013 to April 2016. The 'NSAID combinations' group was also the most prescribed medication across all the oral conditions, with 'diseases of hard tissues' having the highest prescription rate (41.4 and 45.6 per 1000 persons per year, respectively, for 2013-14 and 2015-16).
    Interpretation: The results indicate an overall increase in the analgesic prescription rate, especially 'NSAID combinations' for each dental disease and age group, a finding that is hard to explain. Due to the lack of prescription guidelines in India, it is difficult to assess whether these analgesics were prescribed rationally or not.
