Abstract

Background: chronic Periodontitis is considered to be an inflammatory disease and is characterized by the damaging the connective tissue and supporting bone due to secondary infection by periodontal bacteria. Chlorhexidine has been used in the dental practice as an excellent antiplaque agent. Chlorhexidine not only exhibits special property of substantivity, it also possesses a broad antimicrobial spectrum which makes its use in wide variety of oral disorders. Virtually all disciplines of dentistry make use of this material in different formulations like mouth wash, gel, spray, varnish, and restorative material.Aims of study: The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of locally delivered Chlorhexidine gel as an adjunctive therapy to scaling and root planing in treatment of chronic periodontitis.Material and methods: five patients with chronic periodontitis were selected. Pocket depth between 4 and 6 mm was selected and the patient had two sites on his mouth (splitting mouth). A total of 17 control sites were scaled and root planed and 17 test sites were scaled and root planed and Chlorhexidine gel was added. The clinical parameters, probing depth (PD), clinical attachment level (CAL), plaque index (PI) and bleeding on probing (BOP), gingival index were recorded at baseline, 1 week, 2 weeks and 4 weeks.Results: From baseline to a period of 4 weeks, significant difference was found between test and control group for PD, CAL, PI and BOP.Conclusions: Subgingival injection of Chlorhexidine gel adjunct with scaling and root planing appeared to cause significant improvement compared with scaling and root planing alone in persons with chronic periodontitis.

Abstract

?-Thalassemia major patients require regular blood transfusion therapy lifelong this lead to iron overload in the body tissues, which is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in these patients. Exfoliative cytology, a non-invasive and inexpensive technique based on microscopic evaluation of epithelial cells after a procedure of their fixation and staining. The aims and objectives of this study were: 1.To estimate iron overload by oral exfoliative cytology using Perl’s Prussian blue stain in ?-thalassemia major patients. 2. To correlate perl’s Prussian blue staining positivity with their serum ferritin levels. Smears were obtained from buccal mucosa of 60 ?-thalassemia major patients (who had taken ?10 transfusions) and 30 healthy subjects of the same age group (5-26) year. Smears were stained with Perl’s Prussian blue stain kit. Blood samples were taken from the study and control group at the same time for estimation of serum ferritin levels. Grading criteria were defined for assessing the Prussian blue positivity. Perl’s positivity was observed in 48 out of 60 of thalassemic patients (80%), with a positive correlation to serum ferritin levels. Perl’s Prussian blue staining of exfoliated cells from buccal mucosa can be used to assess iron overload in ?-thalassemia major patients, as a screening tool.

Abstract

Introduction: Patients who opt for coronary interventions to help them with their IHD problems face several adverse reactions; the most frequently faced is acute kidney injury from contrast media exposure or contrast induced nephropathy. Those patients have higher mortality and morbidity both in the short and longterm period. The incidence of this adverse reaction in Al-Basra Cardia Center is poorly studied so far. We measured the incidence of AKI in this center and tried to correlate the risk with some important covariates identified by previous researches. Method: this was an observational prospective study. It was a part of the double blind single center study (the effect of spironolactone on the incidence of AKI in patients with Stable IHD admitted for coronary intervention, trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov NCT03329443). Results: The overall incidence of CIN was 20.2% in this cohort sample. Priori defined high risk variables were tested in univariate logistic regression, and if found to be significant they were to be added to a Multi-Logistic regression model analysis. In Regression analysis only GFR (Log Odds ratio) [0.984 (0.971-0.998)] and Mehran Risk score [Mehran >6 (2.456(1.335-4.519), Mehran >11 (3.931) Mehran >16 (12.366) compared to Mehran <5) were positive in the model analysis. Conclusion: there seems to be a high incidence of AKI in this cohort. Important significant factors include low GFR and a good correlation with Mehran risk score.

Abstract

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an auto-immune disease a chronic characterized leading to joint loss (RA) disease affects nearly 1% of the world. This study is aimed to determine the effect of age, gender and vitamin D level on the efficacy of RA. One hundred and twenty patients (twenty male and one hundred female) with RA in this study were divided, into groups according to their age. Vitamin D levels were measured in the serum using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) blood test. Assessment of the relationship between disease severity and average level of vitamin D was examined by the scale of scores in different groups with rheumatoid arthritis. At p<0.05, significant levels of the above tests have been detected. The current study indicates there is a significant relationship between overweight high underweight below (18.5) BMI and age rate (26-36) patients with RA with deficiency of vitamin D level in serum. The results showed a highly significant difference between patients’ gender groups in as compared disease severity, female more than male with RA disease.

Abstract

Background:Sleep deficiency has develop a worldwide occurrence, and epidemiologic facts show that little sleep period unfavorably influences human physical health. Essential methods include variation of immune-inflammatory mechanisms. These modifications possibly will donate to potentiation of critical periodontal disease.Aim of the study:The aim of this study was to assess if there was an relationship between periodontal diseases and sleeping in a sample of patients from the College of Dentistry.Materials and Method: Forty-Five subjects were sorted into 3 groups (n = 15 each) viz. clinically healthy, gingivitis and periodontitis. Periodontal status of subjects was evaluated by plaque index, gingival index and probing pocket depth. All the study subjects were managed Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) questionnaire for the judgment of sleep deficiency.Results: Current study shown that the mean of PSQI was statistically non-significant for all all groups in this study which are: Healthy, Gingivitis and Periodontitis.Conclusion: This study with initial results is indicative of independent association of sleep deficiency with severity of periodontal disease, but certainly calls on for another studies in the future with larger samples number.

Abstract

The prostate is an organ of reproduction in the man, resembling chestnut or walnut in shape and size, located directly under the bladder and in front of the anus surrounding the first part of the urethra. The aim of study is determine the health results of Basra Governorate, Iraqi males with history of a single negative transrectal prostate biopsy TRUS-Bx, from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2018. The researcher used billing claims from Basra Educational Hospital database (BEH) to determine the patients whom have understand about TRUS – BX with using billing claim of PNB (Prostate Needle Biopsy) and was separated for concurrent ultrasound pelvic. The 94% from database was practicing in Basra as billing claim which meaning that who doesn’t accept billing will compensate accordingly. The drugs tests were implantation for all patients as Basra Educational Hospital ethical. Compassion, specialty, high quality predictive rate and negative prophetic value had been used to decide the analytical rate of PCa diagnosis of TRUS-Bx. The records were then analyzed by the use of SPSS version 14. The ethical was asked patients to own an eleven minutes rest before measure of their pressure level of blood and whole experiment. Young people (under the age of 45) are considered low levels (the risk of prostate cancer is few), when they are less than 2.5 Nano g/ml. For older men (older than 45 years), the value is low if it is less than 4 Nano grams/ml. In spite of the foregoing, it is known that about half of the cases of Prostate-Specific Antigen PSA in proportions that do not exceed these limits. For this reason, it is important to monitor the PSA values every year. Large-scale prostate biopsy identifies large prostate cancer in many men and of whom the previous sextant was a benign biopsy. This procedure should be considered when the suspicious results are for the morrow, despite the previous negative TRUS-BX.

Abstract

Numerous studies have investigated the influence of orthodontic therapy and appliances on the oral microbial flora. Little is known about the effect of removable orthodontic appliances on oral colonisation by mutans streptococci. The original aim of the present investigation was to assess the mean and the statistical mean difference of colony values of S. Mutans in a removable orthodontic appliance fabricated from two types of acrylic resin for an Iraqi sample. According to certain predetermined sample criteria; the present study consist of eleven consecutive young patients scheduled for orthodontic treatment with removable orthodontic appliances at the department of orthodontics at the college of dentistry/ University of babylon as well as dental student seeking orthodontic treatment. Each subject included in the present study had to wear an upper (hot cured) and lower (cold cured) well adaptive removable orthodontic appliance. A swab was taken from the lingual/palatal gingival and inoculated within the brain heart agar then cultured within Mitis- Salivarius Bacitracin (MSB) agar. The colonies were calculated for each plate, afterwards the colony forming unit (CFU) will be calculated. of the present study showing that all bacterial colony values were higher in the lower than upper arch. However, a statistical non significant difference was registered between the colony mean values of both arches. The present study signify both types of acrylic resins (heat/ cold) can be used as an orthodontic acrylic base in removable appliances within the orthodontic practice with a careful monitoring of patients treated orthodontically for risk of caries development.
