Abstract

Highlights Sickle cell anemia affects both males and females in Birnin Kebbi and is predominant among children between 1 to 10 years of age. It is also more prevalent but less severe among individuals with O- and A+ ABO blood groups in the city.   Abstract Background: Demographic information and ABO blood group genotypes have been shown by studies to be useful tools in the management of sickle cell anemia. Regrettably, there is a dearth of literature on this information in Birnin Kebbi, northwestern Nigeria. Objective: This study determined demographic characteristics, ABO blood group genotypes, and sickle cell genotypes of sickle cell anemia patients in Birnin Kebbi. Material and Method: A structured checklist was used to collect data from the medical records of 99 patients who attended the Federal Medical Center in the city between November 2022 to November 2023. Result: The results revealed that most of the patients fell within the 1 to 10 years age group, comprising 44 individuals (44.4%), and the 11 to 20 years age group, comprising 33 individuals (33.3%). Of the patients, 48 (48.5%) were males, while 51 (51.5%) were females. Patients with ABO blood genotype O- (33.3%) and A+ (18.0%) were the most prevalent and least severely affected, while blood groups O+ (3%) and AB- (6%) were the least prevalent and most severely affected. Two variants of sickle cells (HbSS and HbSC) were identified, with HbSS (92.9%) being the most prevalent. Conclusion: Based on these findings, efforts should be made to ensure an ample blood supply with groups O-, A, and AB+ in blood banks. Moreover, studies have shown ABO blood groups to influence responses to diets, so precision medicine tailored to individual patients' blood groups is recommended. Individuals with O+ and AB- -blood groups should be given special attention, as they exhibit the severe form of the disease.

Abstract

Highlights A significant correlation was found between head circumference and height among Nias tribe students. This study was conducted to obtain formulations on weight determination based on headbands in the Nias tribe.   Abstract Background:  Anthropometric measures are one of the protocols frequently employed to identify deceased bodies. Height, age, and gender are a few anthropometric traits that might be utilized to identify the victim from the corpse. If body components are absent, head circumference can be used to determine body height. Objective: The goal of the study was to ascertain whether there is a correlation between head circumference and body height by gender and to create formulas for estimating weight based on head circumference in the Nias tribe at the University of HKBP Nommensen Medan, Indonesia. Material and Method: The study was conducted from September to October 2023 at the University of HKBP Nommensen using an observational cross-sectional design. Of the 100 students who met the inclusion criteria, 50 were men, and the remaining 50 were women. The study's dependent variable was micro-toise-measured height. The head circumference, expressed in meters of tape, served as the study variable. Result: Statistical analysis of the study results from a significant correlation between the head circumference and the height (r = 0.655, p<0.01). The linear regression equation obtained was y = 3200 x - 2.672 in men and y = 10970 + 2.728 times in women, where y was height and x was head circumference. Conclusion: A substantial height-head circumference association was found among the Nias tribe at the University of HKBP Nommensen Medan, Indonesia. The identification method of the forensic field may benefit from this research.

Abstract

Highlights 1. VCO can accelerate AFB sputum conversion in tuberculosis infection. 2. VCO can decrease SOD levels as a marker of inflammation.   Abstract Background: Pulmonary tuberculosis has the potential to raise illness and death rates on a global scale significantly. A low sputum conversion rate for acid-fast bacilli (AFB) and malnutrition are indicators of failure in pulmonary TB treatment. Virgin coconut oil (VCO) contains lauric acid and has antibacterial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory effects. Objective: This study aimed to examine the effect of VCO supplementation on sputum AFB conversion rates, superoxide dismutase (SOD) levels, and body mass index (BMI) status of pulmonary TB patients. Material and Methods: This study was an analytic experimental study measuring BMI levels and SOD levels at the Pekauman Community Health Center, Sultan Suriansyah Hospital, and Ulin Hospital, Banjarmasin, Indonesia, between July and September 2023. This study, 40 samples were separated into two groups: the treatment group, which received first-line antithyroid drugs (ATD) with VCO, and the control group, which received first-line ATD and a placebo. Results: Based on the proportion, there was an improvement in the acceleration of BTA sputum conversion, and from the mean BMI and the median value of both groups, there was a decrease in SOD levels after VCO administration. No statistically significant association was found between VCO administration and accelerating the AFB sputum conversion and BMI at the end of the fourth and eighth weeks (p>0.05). Additionally, there was no relationship considered between VCO administration and reducing SOD levels before and after treatment (p>0.05). Conclusion: VCO administration had no relationship with the level of AFB sputum conversion, reduction in SOD levels, and BMI status in pulmonary TB patients.

Abstract

Highlights SLE is the most common autoimmune disease that requires management after maxillofacial surgery. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is a treatment that can help accelerate recovery in patients.   Abstract Background:  Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is a common multifactorial autoimmune disease that carries a high risk of osteoporosis and fractures. The delivery of oxygen to the body's tissues through hyperbaric oxygen treatment (HBOT) promotes the healing of wounds and shortens the typical recovery time for patients. The way tissues react to illnesses and injuries can be altered by HBOT. Objective: This article aimed to determine the use of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) post-maxillofacial surgery in SLE patients. Materials and Method: This research used a scoping review approach, accessing electronic databases like PubMed, Scopus, Science Direct, Elsevier, and Google Scholar. Discussion: SLE is characterized by producing various autoantibodies that interact with endogenous antigens, favoring widespread inflammatory injury. SLE impacts the immune system, diminishing its ability to defend against infections. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy refers to administering 100% oxygen to a patient inside a pressurized chamber with a pressure higher than one atmosphere at sea level. The surgical placement of the implant into the mandible or maxilla allows it to be retained during functional loading, as the bone integrates with the implant during growth. Conclusion: HBOT can improve the host response by activating inflammatory cells and ensuring optimal oxygen tension in people with SLE. This can help with osteogenesis and neovascularization, which fill empty spaces with new blood vessels or bone tissue.

Abstract

Highlights The gut-brain axis (GBA) is a bidirectional communication network linking the gastrointestinal tract and the central nervous system (CNS), involving neurons and various signaling molecules such as endocrine, humoral, metabolic, and immunological factors. The Notch signaling pathway is implicated in the development of brain tumors, including gliomas, which show elevated Notch receptor levels. This pathway is critical in tumor cell proliferation, survival, and invasiveness.   Abstract Background: The gut-brain axis (GBA) facilitates reciprocal communication between the central and enteric nervous systems. The connection between the GBA, Notch, and brain cancer is a complex and intricate subject that warrants further exploration. Brain cancer has a multifaceted pathophysiology and structure, making the journey from diagnosis to treatment challenging. The involvement of Notch in the signaling pathway could be relevant to both brain cancer and the gut-brain axis. Objective: This research aimed to examine the complex interplay between the gut-brain axis (GBA), Notch signaling, and brain cancer, specifically gliomas. Material and Method: This study was a scoping review conducted using multiple search engines, including PubMed, ProQuest, and Cambridge Core, spanning from 2018 to 2023. The collected materials were filtered and subsequently analyzed. Result: The existence of the gut-brain axis is a fascinating topic for in-depth exploration. The complex relationship between Notch and the gut-brain axis may offer valuable insights into the pathogenesis of brain cancer. The literature review identified two publications, which were analyzed in more detail. The gut-brain axis (GBA) refers to a bidirectional communication network between the central nervous system and the enteric nervous system, regulating gastrointestinal functions. The identification of the Notch signaling pathway suggests its role in the development of brain tumors. Conclusion: The connections between the gut-brain axis, Notch, and brain cancer are evident. The Notch pathway, as a signaling mechanism, is linked to brain cancer, and the gut-brain axis is also associated with it. This interconnected relationship has the potential to uncover novel avenues for diagnosis and therapy, warranting further research.

Abstract

Highlights Glutamine, an amino acid, can help mitigate the side effects of cisplatin by boosting glutathione (GSH) levels, an antioxidant that counteracts oxidative stress. By reducing AIF protein expression and apoptosis, glutamine may protect kidney cells from cisplatin toxicity, potentially improving the safety of chemotherapy. Background: Cisplatin, a widely used chemotherapy that is effective for many forms of cancer, has nephrotoxic qualities that can reduce renal function. Due to its side effects, the usage of cisplatin is limited by its dose. Glutamine, an amino acid, possesses properties that can counteract the nephrotoxicity of cisplatin. Objective: This study aimed to analyze the effect of intravenous glutamine administration on the decrease of AIF expression and apoptosis in intraglomerular mesangial cells of cisplatin-exposed rats. Material and Method: Samples (n) consisting of 30 rats were divided into 3 groups, with each group containing 10 rats. Group P0 received no treatment, group P1 received an injection of cisplatin on the 7th day, and group P2 received glutamine on the 1st–7th day and an injection of cisplatin on the 7th day. After 72 h, the tissue samples were immunohistochemically processed and then observed under a light microscope with 400x magnification. AIF expression and apoptosis were measured in the Allred/H score. Result: AIF expression results were: P0 = 4,35(2,2-5,4); P1 = 5,9(4,8-6,3); P2 = 5,25(2,4-5,8). The AIF expression of P2 was found to be significantly lower (p = 0.008) than P1. Apoptosis results were: P0 = 5,2(4,7-5,5); P1 = 6,4(6,1-7,1); P2 = 5,7(4,8-5,9). The apoptosis level of P2 was found to be significantly lower (p = <0.0001) than P1. Strong correlations between the decrease in AIF expression and the apoptosis level were found (p = <0.0001). Conclusion: Glutamine contributes to the decreased AIF expression and apoptosis in intraglomerular mesangial cells of cisplatin-exposed rats.

Abstract

Highlights:1. The histoarchitecture of the kidney revealed significant derangements in the renal tissue, such as widening of the urinary space and loss or effacement of podocytes and mesangial cells, which were restored to near normal in the treated groups. 2. The biochemical parameters such as blood glucose, insulin, and antioxidant levels in this study were observed to be altered in the diabetic groups, but with administration of the intervening agent, these biochemical parameters were normalized. 3. The intervening agent was found to be a better prophylactic than curative therapy.   Abstract Introduction: Chronic hyperglycemia is pathognomonic of diabetes mellitus; however, this is not responsible for many of the morbidities. Blood glucose is fairly readily regulated by drugs; however, this is not inhibiting the long-term complications despite euglycemic control, there is still damage in virtually every organ system. Hence, this study evaluated the beneficial effect or otherwise of lycopene on the histoarchitectural and biochemical layout of the kidney in diabetic wistar rats. Objective: To assess the histoarchitecture and biochemical parameters  of the kidney of diabetic Wistar rats after intervention with lycopene as well as to determine whether lycopene is more efficacious as curative than prophylactic agent. Materials and Method: The rats were grouped into five sects (a, b, c, d, and e) of six animals per group. Group a is the normal control that was given 2ml/kg/day of citrate buffer per oral for 30 days. Group b was given 60mg /kg of streptozotocin. Group c was treated with lycopene 20mg/kg/day p.o for 30 days after diabetes induction. Group d is the group that was pretreated with lycopene 20mg/kg/day orally for 30 days. Group e was treated with Insulin 5 IU/kg for 30 days after diabetes induction. The rats were sacrificed under ketamine anaesthesia at the end of the experiment. Result: The histological outline of the kidney revealed significant widening of the urinary space in the untreated diabetic group (b) and the test groups (c and d) when compared with the normal control group (a). It was observed that  the blood glucose levels in the test groups significantly reduced in value (p<0.05) below diabetic range. There was significantly higher level (p<0.05) of antioxidants in the curative than the prophylactic group, Conclusion: This study showed that lycopene conferred better ameliorative effect when used prophylactically than curatively.

Abstract

Highlights Non-surgical treatments can involve various appliances. However, all non-surgical treatments are typically supplemented with mouth-opening exercises. Surgical treatments usually consist of open reduction and internal fixation, which can be implemented using various anatomical approaches.   Abstract Background: Mandibular condyle fractures are common among adolescents, often resulting from trauma such as falls or road traffic accidents. These fractures, which involve the articular surface of the mandible, can lead to complications like malocclusion, restricted mouth opening, and temporomandibular joint dysfunction. Treatment for mandibular condyle fractures varies, with non-surgical management, including closed reduction and functional therapy, often favored for its less invasive nature, especially in growing adolescents. Surgical interventions, such as open reduction and internal fixation, are considered for more complex fractures or when non-surgical methods fail. However, the decision between surgical and non-surgical treatment remains contentious, particularly in adolescents, whose condylar fractures might heal better due to the regenerative capacity of their growing bones. Objective: This review aimed to compare the outcomes of surgical and non-surgical management of mandibular condyle fractures. Material and Method: This review was conducted by searching the Scopus database for case reports published between 2014 and 2024, which described either surgical or non-surgical treatment of adolescent mandibular condyle fractures. Result: A total of 7 case reports were included, highlighting the use of various treatment approaches. Non-surgical methods, including functional appliances and mouth-opening exercises, showed promising results, with improved mouth opening and condylar remodeling. Similarly, surgical approaches, though more invasive, resulted in good functional and aesthetic outcomes, with minimal complications when proper anatomical understanding was applied. Conclusion: Both non-surgical and surgical approaches can be used to treat condylar fractures in adolescents, provided that proper evaluation, planning, and a thorough understanding of the condyle's anatomy and surrounding tissue are ensured.
