Abstract

Background: Ultrasound elastography (USE) is an ultrasound-based technique that addresses the biomedicalproperties of the nodules. Based on the stiffness of the tissue this technique differentiates between the benignnodules from the malignant ones where the hard and soft tissue is determined by the high or the low elasticityvalues respectively. The present study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of the E-thyroid in the differentiationof malignant and benign thyroid nodules and also a cut off ECI value using fine-needle aspiration as thediagnostic standard of referenceMethods: The current prospective study was done on 80 patients in the radiology department in Al Yarmoukteaching hospital in Baghdad city from April 2018 to April 2019. All the patients referred from the outpatientclinic. All the patients were examined sonographically starting with B mode ultrasound then elastoscanexamination was done.Result: The study result showed that among the 80 patients 65 had a benign nodule and only 15 werediagnosed with a malignant thyroid nodule. The ECI value and the histopathological result showed asignificant agreement in the result and a cut off ECI value of 4 were shown to be effective to diagnose thepresence of malignant thyroid nodule.Conclusion: Overall, the present study showed that USE can be effectively used to differentiate between themalignant and benign thyroid nodules and being a safe method this can be used widely. However, the resultof this study needs further validation with a larger study population.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to find a method of determining laser models and intra vaginal progesteronesponge in Bali Cattle. An assessment was carried out at Sapi Loka Grati, Pasuruan, Indonesia. The parametersobserved included the symptoms of estrus, response of estrus, and the level of pregnancy. Twenty Balinesecows were divided at random in two groups. P1 treated with laser puncture at a certain point and P2 treatedwith 1.5 g of progesterone + 10 mg of estradiol benzoate intra vaginal sponge. The diagnosis of subsequentpregnancies was done by ultrasonographic examination on day 40th after artificial insemination (AI). Thelaser used in this study was a soft laser with power supply specifications as follows: 50 Hz, 220 Volts, 50Watts, ranging from 0.2 Joules to 0.5 Joules. These lasers include semiconductor lasers and laser probes.Three acupuncture points were used (GV 4, BL-22, and GV-2). Furthermore, the intra vaginal progesteronesponge used was made from silicone plastic similar to the drugs containing medroxyprogesterone acetate.Data testing was done by using the T-test. Results demonstrated that the P1 responses of estrus appeared onday 3rd, while P2 on day 9th. There was no significant difference (p >0.05) in the accumulation of estrus andpregnancy. In conclusion, estrus synchronization and pregnancy rate could be efficiently achieved in Balicattle using either laser puncture or intra vaginal progesterone sponge. However, laser puncture treatmentinduced more spread estrus with higher pregnancy rate.

Abstract

Medical Profession was included under The Consumer Protection Act (CPA) in 1986 to provide a forum tosafeguard the rights of the customers and establish guidelines for the speedy redressal of their grievancesagainst unethical medical practices. This by far has been the most crucial legislations introduced in theframework of health professionals which over the years seems to have propelled them to practice in a guardedmanner. In recent times this also seems to be flanked by a spurt in Violence against the Doctors enormously.It is thereby imperative for all medical professionals to not only have a comprehensive knowledge of ethicsand laws related to health care and medicolegal issues but also its implications in their profession. In thisvery light the current study was conducted as an attempt to assess the perception of undergraduate medicalstudents towards medical ethics, CPA and its influence on Violence against Doctors.

Abstract

Background: Bell’s palsy is the common acute mono-neuropathy, and is commonly associated with facialparalysis or weakness of facial nerve. It is unilateral facial nerve paresis or paralysis. The cause of Bell’spalsy is suspected to be herpes simplex virus infection of nerve.The nerve get swollen because of thisviral infection and is compressed in its canal as it passes through the temporal bone. Grading systems forthe assessment of movements and asymmetry of face in Facial palsy are divided into computer-based andtraditional grading systems. The program that uses Kinect Azure provides assessment method for evaluationof asymmetry of face at rest and the rating of facial palsy during voluntary activity of various areas overface. This study aims to investigate the intervention of facial palsy by video self modelling with the use ofKinect Azure.Methods: 20 participants will be selected. Each group will include 10 subjects. Group A will receiveconventional treatment, electrical muscle stimulator(EMS) ,and visual feedback.Group B(Experimental group) will receive conventional treatment ,electrical muscle stimulator and videoself modelling. Each participant would be presented with their own videotape of video self-modeling, whichincluded the best attempts at their evenest acts (smiles).Following 2 weeks of tape viewing the actions willbe assessed. The outcome of the treatment will be assessed by Kinect Azure.Discussion: Traditional methods for documentation of treatment effect have been through scales andquestionnaires which at times are little complex and also difficult for patients to interpret. Hence thisexperimental and comparative study aims at focusing on the effective use of Kinect to document outcomefor bell’s palsy

Abstract

Background: Bedaquiline is a new drug which is recommended by World Health Organization (WHO) forindividual regiment drug resistant-tuberculosis (DR-TB). The presence of regiment DR-TB in the bloodis long enough with T1/2 5-6 months, that is why bedaquiline is given on six months. Bedaquiline is notrecommended for pregnant women because there is no data related to safety. The author will report anincidental pregnant female on bedaquiline treatment.Case presentation: A 24-year-old woman with multidrug resistant tuberculosis (MDR TB) on individualregiment bedaquiline had incidental pregnancy at the 6th month treatment. In the beginning, the patientused bedaquiline because of the intolerance of second-line injectable drug. Bedaquiline regiment was usedfor 24th week. Pregnancy occured at the 6th month treatment. The patient continued the pregnancy and theMDR TB treatment was continued without bedaquiline. Nausea and vomiting were getting worse. Pretermlabour occured in 33/34 weeks by cesarean section. The baby had severe asphyxia, used continuous positiveairway pressure (CPAP), treated in NICU, had low weight but there was no disability. After several days oftreatment, the condition of baby was improving and was able to outpatient.Conclusion: The preterm labour, low birth weight, and neonatal emergency occured in a pregnant womanwith MDR TB on individual regiment bedaquiline. Mother and baby can survive. More case and researchdata are needed on the safety of bedaquiline during pregnancy.

Abstract

Tuberculosis is chronic multisystemic disease caused mostly by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The diseasehas its mention in the Vedas and Chakra and Sushruta described the features in the early 600 B.C. TB hasa known site predilection for lungs, although, extra pulmonary cases have also been reported. The oraltuberculous lesions are a rare occurrence with atypical signs and symptoms, thus deferring an accuratediagnosis and treatment. A plethora of standard and contemporary diagnostic adjuncts facilitate the rapid andprecise diagnosis. Anti-tubercular regimen forms the mainstay of treatment, although several recent drugsare also in clinical trial phase.This article aims to highlight the etio-pathogenesis, clinical and oral features of tuberculosis, diagnostictools, and management protocol for tuberculosis. There is also a brief mention on the various policiesconsidered by World health Organization (WHO) to combat this dreaded disorder.

Abstract

Introduction: Traumatic dental injuries are common among children owing to their developingneuromusculoskeletal responses. This study aims at assessment of knowledge, attitude and practice towardsmanagement of trauma to anterior teeth among faculty members and students of Medical College.Materials and Method: A cross sectional survey with pretested questionnaire was used to assess thedemographics of the participants along with their knowledge regarding dental trauma, their attitude andpractices to handle them. Total of 200 participants comprising, 150 students and 50 faculty members ofthe dental institute were part of this study. Descriptive statistics was used to represent each category. Also,inferential statistical methods were used to assess any significant differences between the groups whensignificance level is kept at 5%.Results: The findings showed that almost 40% of the participants had experienced dental trauma before,the most common trauma that they encountered was tooth fracture. Faculty members had better knowledgescore compared to students those who have had previous knowledge before regarding this issue also hadbetter knowledge than their counterpart.Conclusion: The present study showed that the participants have sufficient knowledge about dental trauma,and they showed a positive attitude towards it. However, some were still reluctant to perform dental first aidwhen required due to the lack of training availability and education. Dental first aid needs to be a part of thecurriculum. Training programs are even more helpful, as it will help to build the confidence of the operator.This will create awareness among the public about the importance of managing dental trauma of the anteriorteeth.
