Abstract

Background: Acute bronchitis is one of the top 10 conditions for which patients seek medical care. Acute bronchitis is a clinical term implying a self-limited inflammation of the large airways of the lung. A possible link between inflammation and elevated blood pressure has been suggested by several cross-sectional and longitudinal studies.Objective: To assess the effect of acute bronchitis on the blood pressure.Patients and Methods: The cross sectional study was carried out in in Baghdad. 100 patients with acute bronchitis, their age group of 17-76 years were included in the study. Blood pressures (systolic and diastolic) for the patients were taken in sitting position on the right arm during the attack and after improvement (five to seven days later).Results: 100 patients with acute bronchitis were enrolled in the study. Mean age was 45.51±15.46. Female were 54 (54%), and 46 (46%) were male. There was 42 (42%) have history of hypertension. Only 15 patients (15%) have history of smoking. Mean arterial pressure (MAP) during attack was normal in 58 (58%), and high in 42 (42%). MAP after improvement was normal in 84 (84%), and 16 (16%) remain high. About clinical features, 100% have cough, 71% sputum, 36% dyspnea, and 6% hemoptysis. Systolic, diastolic blood pressure, and mean arterial pressure during the attack were higher than after improvement with highly statistically significance (P value < 0.001). There was no statistically significant effect for the history of hypertension and smoking on blood pressure during the attack and after improvement (p value 0.441, 0.309 respectively).Conclusion: Systolic, diastolic blood pressure, and mean arterial pressure during the attack of acute bronchitis were higher than after improvement.

Abstract

Background: Behcet’s disease is multi-systemic vasculitis, which usually is frequent oral & genital ulcerations as well as eye and skin lesions.Objectives: To determine the proportion of complications of BD & associated epidemiological variables.Patients and Methods : A cross-sectional study was conducted and performed in the Baghdad teaching hospital’s Rheumatology unit and Dermatology and Venereology Center, involving (116) patients over the course of six months, beginning November 2nd and ending April 2nd, 2020. Results: The patients ranged in age from 13 to 64 years old at the time of the study. The mean age and SD was 35.08±10.46 and 70.7% from male while 29.3% from female. Recurrent oral ulceration, Recurrent genital ulceration, Eye lesion, Skin lesion, and Joint symptoms were the most common clinical manifestations of Behcet’s disease, with 96.6 percent, 37.9%, 67.2 percent, 62.1 percent, and 75.9%, respectively. The most common Behcet’s disease complication was ocular complication (34.5 percent), and the first major symptom of BD (94 percent) was oral ulcer. The age at onset of disease at (20-29) years with higher frequency (38.8%). Conclusion : Higher percentages of study sample had ocular complications (83%) while the lower percentage (2%) had gastrointestinal complication. Recommendations: More research is required to determine the etiology, enhance diagnosis precision, and develop new therapeutic strategies. To prevent visceral and ocular involvements, early diagnosis and treatment with the help of a dermatologist with extensive experience is essential.

Abstract

Wilson disease (WD) is an autosomal-recessive disorder of copper metabolism caused by mutations in the ATP7B gene. ATP7B is also essential for biliary excretion of copper when cytoplasmic levels are high. Dysfunction of ATP7B therefore leads to accumulation of copper in the liver giving rise to cellular damage and disease, and the release of non-ceruloplasmin bound copper into the systemic circulation. Clinical presentation of Wilson disease can vary widely; therefore diagnosis is not always straight forward. Wilson disease is not just a disease of children and young adults, but may present at any age. The key features of Wilson disease are liver disease and cirrhosis, neuropsychiatric disturbances, Kayser–Fleischer rings, and acute episodes of hemolysis, often in association with acute liver failure. Diagnosis is particularly difficult in children and in adults presenting with active liver disease. None of the available laboratory tests is perfect and may not be specific for Wilson disease. To overcome the diagnostic challenge, several clinical signs (Kayser–Fleischer rings(KF.), neurologic symptoms) and laboratory features (copper in serum, urine, liver; serum ceruloplasmin ; genetic testing) are scored 0 (absent) to 2 (present) and the Leipzig score is calculated. If the score is >4, the diagnosis of Wilson disease is very likely. For asymptomatic siblings of index patients, mutation analysis is the most reliable approach.

Abstract

Objectives: Although multiple drugs administrationmostly increase therapeutic effect, some combinations lead to adverse drug-drug interactions and increased morbidity. This study was designed to identify the types,frequency, severity, and significance of drug–drug interactions (DDIs)Methods: This retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted from September 2018 to February 2019 in Al-Fayha’a teaching hospital in Basrah, Iraq.The data of 186 patients were collected from hospital patients case sheets. The type and significance of DDIs were analyzed using “Medscape drug Interaction Checker.Results: At least one to two DDI are noticed in about three quarters of the patients, about 30% cases have three to nine DDIs and 15% of them have ten or more DDIs. According to their severity, there are 85 (11.5%) of serious or potent DDIs. The largest percentage of reported interactions 544 (73.5%) were moderate were close monitoring required. Out of 740documented DDIs,65.1% were pharmacodynamics and 19.5% were Pharmacokinetic interactions, in addition, there were 15.4%of DDIs due to Unknown mechanisms. Most of the major potential DDIs occur with the antibiotic ceftriaxone and blood thinning medications (heparin and warfarin).Conclusion: The findings of this study revealed a high prevalence of drug-drug interactions in hospitalized patients particularly in patients withcardiovascular disease. Potential DDIs in this study sufficiently high to alert health care providers to pay more attentions in order to prevent or decrease their adverse effects on patients.

Abstract

Background: Lateral sinus augmentation and simultaneous insertion of dental implants is a highlypredictable procedure and associated with high rate of implants success.Aims: To evaluate implant stability changes following maxillary sinus augmentation utilizing deproteinizedbovine bone alone or mixed with platelet-rich fibrin.Materials and Methods: A total of 34 lateral sinus augmentation procedures were performed and 50 dentalimplants simultaneously installed. The lateral sinus augmentation cases were allocated randomly into 3groups: Group A comprised 13 procedures and 21 dental implants utilizing solely deproteinized bovine bone.Group B involved 10 cases and 16 dental implants using deproteinized bovine bone mixed with leukocyteand platelet-rich fibrin. Group C included 11 operations and 13 dental implants employing deproteinizedbovine bone mixed with advanced platelet-rich fibrin. Resonance frequency analysis test was performedimmediately after implant installation and 24 weeks postoperatively for the measurement of the implantstability.Results: Implant stability quotient values increased significantly for all study groups 24 weeks after dentalimplants installation (P= 0.001). The implant stability quotient at T1 (day of implant installation) was 56.93±12.01 for group A, 58.34 ±12.82 for group B, and 61.35 ±8.47 for group C. The implant stability quotientat T2 (24 weeks after implant insertion) was 69.17 ±5.10, 69.43 ±5.32, and 68.50 ±7.44, respectively.Conclusion: The addition of leukocyte and platelet-rich fibrin or advanced platelet-rich fibrin to the bovinebone for sinus floor augmentation did not increased the implant stability quotient value in comparison to thebovine bone alone.
