Abstract

This study was conducted on forty-nine healthy male albino males rats, from 1/11/2019 to 12/30/2019 fortwo months in the animal house of the College of Veterinary Medicine - University of Tikrit, their agesranged from 3-4 months and weights of 250-350 g current study aimed to determine the effect of nutritionon the different types of fat in the levels of blood lipids, kidney function, and liver enzymes. The resultsshowed a significant increase with a level of 0.05 (p?) in blood sugar concentration in the two groups ofanimal fat and vegetable oil group with a concentration of 8% g / kg of diet, and the two olive oil groupsdid not show significant differences compared to the control group. Levels of cholesterol, triglycerides, lowdensity lipoproteins, and very low-density lipoproteins in a group that was given fat animal by 8% g / kg ofdiet and a significant decrease in the group of olive oil by 4% g / kg of diet, significant increase (p? 0.05) inthe concentration of high-density lipoproteins in the two groups that have been treated with Olives oil by:4% and 8% g / kg, respectively. There were no significant differences in the rest of the other study treatmentscompared to the control group, and a significant increase of (p?0.05) in the concentrations of urea, creatinineand uric acid in the animal fat group by 8% g/kg of the diet, and a significant decrease in the group that wastreated with olive oil. As for the liver enzymes activity ALT, AST, and ALP there was a significant increase(p? 0.05) in the group that was treated as animal fat by 4% g / kg of diet, while we did not observe significantdifferences in the group that was treated with olive oil by 4% g / Kg of diet compared to a control group.

Abstract

The epidemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), originating in Wuhan, China, has become a majorpublic health challenge. According to WHO, “It is possible to halt the virus spread, by adopting measuresto detect disease early, isolate and treat the cases, tracing the people who came in contact with those whoare infected, wearing gloves and masks, limitation of people going outside their home and promote socialdistancing measures.” Due to the characteristics of dental settings, the risk of cross infection can be highbetween patients and dental practitioners and can spread from patient to patient.As part of its efforts tomitigate the spread of the COVID-19 pandemicthe American Dental Association (ADA) provided essentialguidance on (i) emergency vs. nonemergency dental care and (ii) the use of teledentistry. In response to thecurrent health crisis, teledentistry is emerging as a viable care option in an effort to help “flatten the curve”of the COVID-19 pandemic.During the COVID-19 outbreak, teledentistry is an effective way to triagepatients and conduct problem-focused evaluations in order to limit office visits to patients needing urgent oremergency care. This article, based on relevant guidelines and research, introduces the essential knowledgeabout COVID-19, and focuses on how teledentistry can be helpful in preventing dental emergencies byproviding effective dental care to patients during quarantine, and also educate and motivate people to optnecessary dental hygiene measures.

Abstract

Ventricular ectopic beat (VEB) is a common cause in clinical practice. sometimes this case is asymptomaticbut can cause uncomfortable symptoms in patients. There are some cases where the VEBs presence indicatesa risk factor towards severe arrhythmias, especially when associated with normal hart. Normal cases thatusually encounter episodes of ectopic beats were collected (58 individuals 23 were females and the rest (34)were males) from the private consultative clinic or from the Sherqat general Hospital attendance in Salahal-Din Governorate whose ages ranged between 38-66. These cases were followed up closely for two yearswith a clinical examination every 3 months with electrocardiogram Heart, chest x-ray, echocardiography.Regarding the management strategies (Table 2), 36 patients (19 males and 11 females) (49%) were satisfiedby B-Blocker 19 of them (33%) were less than 60 years and 9 were equal or above the 60. Thirteen of theparticipants (23%) were given reassurance 3 of them (5%) were less than 60 years and 10 were equal orabove 60. Nine individuals (16%) cases responded to simple sedativezers) 5 of them (9%) were less than 60years and 9 were equal or above 60. 7 (12%) were treated by a combination of sedative and prokinetics 6of the cases (9%) were less than 60 years and 9 were equal or above 60. Electrocardiographic and CardiacElectrophysiological Properties of the study (Table 3) shows that 33 individuals (40%) were unifocal) wereunifocal premature Ventricular ectopic beats their age were under 60 for all of them. The rest (24) weremultifocal type. The QRS were significantly longer in male than in female and in the =60 more than that ofthe <60. In this regard, the result demonstrates that predominant S wave in 15 male participants versus 12females. While there was 19 male having dominant R wave. Sex and age have a significant impact on cardiacelectrophysiological characteristics of Premature Ventricular ectopic beats.The males are more affected with Premature Ventricular ectopic beats than females regarding this effect.

Abstract

Neutropenia has been defined to be classified into transient and chronic forms based upon duration andacquired or congenital forms. Chronic neutropenia is considered as congenital, cyclic, autoimmune andidiopathic categorizes, where congenital and cyclic categories are hereditary forms of neutropenia, but theidiopathic and autoimmune are known as acquired neutropenia. In the present review, we focus highly onthe genetic subtypes of non-syndromic congenital neutropenia and therapeutic strategies regarding to recentevidence. All aspects of molecular pathogenesis and biology have not been clarified so far; therefore, furtherin-depth understanding of the molecular mechanisms is needed to reveal roles of molecular mechanisms,and pathways involved in the development of congenital neutropenia and to provide a basis for achievingnovel therapeutic strategies.

Abstract

Objective: This study was based on the evaluation the degree of total occlusal convergence of teeth preparedfor all-ceramic crowns which is the main factor that retention and resistance form of indirect restorationsdepended on. Teeth preparation done by 3rd year dental students at Al-Esraa university collage, Iraq in 2019.Materials and method: Eighty typodont teeth, maxillary central incisor(n=40) and first premolar teeth(n=40) were prepared for all-ceramic crowns by preclinical dental students under examination condition.The prepared teeth were scanned and digitized using the laser scanner 3Shape D710 (SculptCAD, Texas,USA). The datasets were evaluated using inspection software (shaper 3D zrt. Hungary, 2020) that used forthe assessment of the total occlusal convergence. Each tooth was virtually sectioned by four vertical planes:buccopalatal, mesiodistal, mesiobuccal–distopalatal and distobuccal– mesiopalatal and for each plane thetotal occlusal convergence angle (degree) was measured by drawing lines along the two opposing axialwalls from the finish line extended coronally. The data were analyzed with appropriate statistical tests usinganalysis of variance (ANOVA) and unpaired t-tests. Differences between groups were tested for significanceat 95% confidence interval.Results: The results revealed that the students prepared the central incisor teeth with average TOC valuesof 11.46° ± 6.81°, 9.91° ± 4.92°, 10.54° ± 7.05° and 12.06° ± 6.71° respectively, from the buccopalatal,mesiodistal, mesiobuccal–distopalatal and distobuccal– mesiopalatal planes. Concerning first premolarteeth, students prepared them with average TOC values of 12.03° ± 6.63°,11.57° ± 6.34°, 14.3° ± 6.94° and12.55° ± 6.6° respectively.The findings revealed that the approximated average TOC values for all the measured planes weregreater than the optimal TOC range 4 to 6 ° but stayed within the TOC acceptable range 4 to 14 °.Ordinary one-way ANOVA test showed no significant (P >0.05) differences in the average TOC betweenthe different four planes within each tested group of teeth. The average value of overall total occlusalconvergence (TOCs) in the first premolar teeth= 12.61°± 6.63°was higher than for the central incisor teeth=10.99°±6.4°. Unpaired t-test for the two tested groups revealed significant (p < 0.05) differences.Conclusions: The presented study found that about 85%, 65.83% respectively of upper central incisorand first premolar teeth prepared for all-ceramic crowns by pre-clinical dental students with acceptablerecommended convergence angle range 4-14°.
