Abstract

The ongoing corona virus outbreak (COVID-19) has turn into pandemic, by rapidly spreading and infectingall over the world. It left no other choice than implementing the lockdown all over the country. This lockdownhas lead to the development of sedentary lifestyle among the people leaving them with inactivity, anxiety,depression and with an elevated chance of a potential aggravation of the health problems. Therefore, not justmodifying people’s lifestyles during quarantine and keeping an active lifestyle at home, it is very necessaryfor the overall population’s safety, but particularly for those with additional risk factors and the elderly toconduct daily physical indoor activities and exercises. The data was collected from the electronic databases.The review includes the quarantine population of all age group and gender. After reviewing the articlesit was concluded that the multi-component full-body programs should be carried out by the population,including aerobic, strengthening, balancing and stretching exercises by modifying and utilizing both thespace and material available. Doing physical exercise will help us to stay active during quarantine period sothat after the end of the crisis we will be able to resume our work without lethargy.

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus is a worldwide epidemic and is associated with long-term damage and causes dysfunctionof several organs like kidney leading to diabetic nephropathy. This study was designed to evaluate somebiochemical aspects.This study was conducted on 95 patients which included (35) HD patients with diabetesand (35) HD patients without diabetes and (25) Type 2 diabetes mellitus patients, who attended at RamadiGeneral Hospital. For the purpose of comparison, (25) samples as control. Several tests were performed suchas FSB, urea, creatinine, glomerular filtration rate (GFR), albumin, sodium ion, calcium ion, Phosphorusion, potassium ion and magnesium ion were calculated. This study showed the level of urea and creatininewere a significant increase in HD patients with diabetes(128.29±22.59 and 7.1±1.76) mg/dl respectively,and HD patients without diabetes were (125.74±23.28 and 6.80±2.71) mg/dl respectively. The levels of Na+and Ca++ were decrease in HD patients with diabetes (137.6±4.8 mmol/L and 6.72±1.76mg/dl) respectively.The levels of P, K+ and Mg++ were a significant increase in HD patients without diabetes(6.26±0.84 mg/dl,5.52±0.61 mmol/L and 2.2±0.13mg/dl) respectively. The urea, creatinine and GFR are simple and usefulbiomarkers which can serve as predictor tests for assessing kidney functions in diabetic patients.

Abstract

Purpose: To study and compare the effect of submaximal exercise on static and dynamic balance in patientswith severe and moderate chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and correlation of the balanceimpairments with disease severity, quadriceps girth and body mass index (BMI).Methods: A sample of convenience of 45 middle aged participants (mean age 53.47 ± SD 4.775), including15 with severe COPD, 15 with moderate COPD who were not undergoing pulmonary rehabilitation programand 15 healthy controls were included. The subjects performed Timed Up and Go Test (TUG) for dynamicbalance and quiet standing to assess postural sway using sway meter with eyes closed and opened in narrow,semi tandem and tandem stance for 30 seconds. The balance variables were then correlated to forcedexpiratory volume in one second (FEV1), quadriceps girth and body mass index. Significance was set atalpha less than 0.05.Results: when compared to healthy controls, significant differences were found in postural sway in all thestances in severe COPD patients, and in semi tandem and tandem stances in moderate COPD patients. TUGtest significantly differed in both severe and moderate COPD (p=0.0001) and no difference between severeand moderate COPD TUG test was found. Moderate negative correlation was found between FEV1 andpostural away in few stances whereas no correlation was found with quadriceps girth and BMI of COPDpatients.Conclusion: Static as well as dynamic balance are affected in COPD patients with postural sway affectedmore in severe COPD than moderate COPD leading to functional disability and risk of falls which increaseswith increase in age. Balance alterations can be moderately correlated to FEV1.

Abstract

The aim of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of disclusion time reduction in treatment of myofacialpain syndrome using immediate complete anterior guidance development (ICAGD) protocol monitoredby digital occlusal analysis (T-scan). Methods and materials: Subjects with full dentition and angle classI relation. DC/TMD criteria were used to diagnose the patients with various MFDS symptoms includingmouth opening (assisted and unassisted), excursion movements (mediotrusion and protrusion) and painfulmasticatory muscles involvement. A visual analog scale was used to assess the pain intensity. DisclusionTime Reduction (DTR) of all molars and premolars to < 0.5 second on all studied locations include: (Centricrelation, Maximum intercaspation, Right lateral, left lateral and protrusion) have been made, the patientswere recalled tow times at the 7th day and 14th day for the follow up and the subjects were assessed for thesymptoms relief. Results: Highly significant difference P? 0.001 in period (1st day pretreatment -7th daypost treatment) and(1st day pretreatment- 14th day post treatment) related to changes in disclusion timeand all symptoms of MFDS but in period (7th day post treatment -14th day post treatment) ,the data outsidethe comparison limited (OCL) was stated according to the pain intensity, mouth opening (assisted andunassisted)and excursion movements while a non- significant difference P>0.05 were documented relatedto changes in disclusion time and painful masticatory muscle involvement . Conclusion: The results showedthe DTR less than 0.5 seconds reduces musculoskeletal-based symptoms of MFDS patients, and this methodcan be used clinically with highly success in treatment MPDS.

Abstract

Sodomy is anal intercourse between 2 men (homosexual sodomy) or a man and a woman (heterosexualsodomy) also known as buggery, when the passive agent is a child, sodomy is referred to as paederasty.This study sheds some light on one sensitive Egyptian issue, sodomy cases, with quantification of thedemographics and medico legal findings, related to female child and male cases presenting to Beni Suefgovernorate Forensic Medical Authority, Egypt, between 2011 and 2015. 51 cases of sodomy were analysed,the mean age of victims is 9.79 years in children and 24.30 years in adults. 74.19% of cases were malechildren while 85% were adult females. Cases occurred mainly in urban areas for both child (61.29%)and adult (55%) victims. Frequency of sodomy cases shows an ascending manner. Most child victims hadprimary education 77.42%, unlike 35% high education in adult victims. 96.67% of assailants had no relationto children, 50% were relative in adult cases. Multiple assailants were present in 13% of child victims,30% in adult victims. Physical force was the commonest in child 51.62% and adult 50% victims. assailantswere guilty in 54.84% of child victims, 50% in adult victims. Forensic examination of children took (2-5days) in 61.30%of child cases and (1-2 weeks) in 50% adult cases. Semen was detected in 19.35% ofchild cases and in 15% of adult cases. Genital Injuries were found in 45.16% of children and55% in adultcases. Rape accompanied sodomy in 19.35% of child cases and 25% of adult cases. Conclusion—theseanalyses demonstrate that the very low incidence may also suggest gross underreporting; making awarenessof importance of reporting of sexual offences is mandatory

Abstract

Background: Student assessments are the traditional methods of assessing academic success, and they areconsidered to affect one’s career. This study evaluated the levels of salivary stress biomarkers represented bycortisol and total salivary protein during final academic assessments of dental undergraduates.Methods: Saliva samples were obtained, one before the exam another afterwards. Concentrations of salivarystress biomarkers were obtained by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).Results: Before the exam, the two parameters were dramatically higher than afterwards, with a substantialdifference between the levels of salivary protein and cortisol (p=0.000, 0.000 consecutively).Conclusion: Stress induced by academic examinations may increase the level of salivary stress biomarkersin the short term.
