Abstract

Objective: Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis, and is a leading cause of disability among older adults. Many different therapeutic strategies are used in OA management including both pharmacological and non-pharmacological modalities with various patient responses. However, a perfect therapy for OAis still to be found.This research aims to compare the degree of pain improvement in osteoarthritic patients in response to various treatment modalities through an online questionnaire. Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in January 2020 in Makkah, Saudi Arabia, and Cairo, Egypt. The total sample obtained was 1,870 residents with OA. A computer-based survey of osteoarthritis was conducted electronically. Results: The highest age range of participants was between 41-50 years (65%). More than two-thirds (1210) were females.The knee is significantly (P<0.005) the most common joint affected followed by back and neck.Concerning the treatment modalities asked in the questionnaire; physical/hydrotherapy, joint injection, and paracetamol are significantly (P<0.005) the most commonly used by participants.The number of participants those indicates the highest responses to pain improvement (50 % and more) to paracetamol, glucosamine/chondroitin, nutritional supplements, and antioxidants were significantly (P<0.005) more than those for other treatment modalitiesConclusion: The most commonly used treatment methods for osteoarthritic pain were physiotherapy/hydrotherapy, joint injection, and oral paracetamol. Those who have achieved the highest response regarding pain improvement were paracetamol, antioxidants, glucosamine / chondroitin, and nutritional supplements.

Abstract

Background: Tuberculous mastoiditis is a rare case of chronic otitis media disease and extrapulmonary tuberculosis, caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Case Presentation: Four cases of tuberculous mastoiditis were reported, ranging in age from 16 to 66 years. All patients presented with chronic discharge with signs of mastoiditis with intra and extratemporal complications. Two patients only manifested in the mastoid and two other patients had symptoms of tuberculosis in other organs, especially the lungs. All patients underwent radical mastoidectomy and histopathological examination showed tuberculosis. All patients received category 1 and category 2 antituberculosis drugs. Conclusion: The clinical features of tuberculous mastoiditis vary. Diagnosis of tuberculous mastoiditis can be done by histopathological examination and geneXpert. Surgical therapy and administration of antituberculosis are the main options in the management of tuberculous mastoiditis.

Abstract

Background: Staphylococci frequently cause opportunistic infections in patients with underlying disease, such as those with prosthetic devices, surgical patients, and patients with diabetes or individuals undergoing dialysis. Consequently, detecting the toxin-associated genes in different S. aureus strains, isolated from patients with wound and burn injuries and their environments, is essential to monitor and prevent the complication in such cases.Methods: Identification ofS. aureus that isolated from burn and wound injuries has been done according to the biochemical tests, then Spa-typing method was used to diagnose at the strain level. Toxin-associated genes, enterotoxin gene(sea, seb),exfoliative gene(eta), toxic shock syndrome gene(tst), and pantonevalentine leukocidin(pvl), were detected by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method.Results: Two isolates were harboring tstand a single isolate harbored pvl, at the time that no isolates were foundetaandsebpositive among 19 S.aureus. While sea was the predominant toxin-associate gene in the studied S. aureus strains, it was detected in 13 isolates.Conclusion: Distribution of specific spa-type/sea-positive in diabetic foot ulcers at hospitals, indicating the poor sanitization conditions at Iraqi wound wards, and it is recommended to take swabs from the patients and their environments as a routine procedure

Abstract

Genetic Modified Organisms (GMO) are created by manufacturers by introducing genetic material, or DNA, from a different organism through a process called genetic engineering. In most cases the aim is to introduce a new trait to the plant which does not occur naturally in the species like resistance to certain pests, diseases, environmental conditions and herbicides etc. Most currently available GMO foods are plants, such as fruit and vegetables. Existing GM crop includes maize, rice, wheat, soybean, rape, canola, chicory, potato, tomato, cotton etc. GM foods have the potential to solve many of the world’s hunger and malnutrition problems, and to help protect and preserve the environment by increasing yield and reducing reliance upon chemical pesticides. There are many challenges ahead for governments, especially in the areas of safety testing, regulation, industrial policy and food labeling

Abstract

Vitexagnus-castus has long been used to treat female reproductive disorders and fertility in Europe for thousands of years. On the other hand, date palm pollen is a herbal combination in traditional medicines generally used to treat female and male fertility. Therefore, the present study aimed to evaluate these two plants qualitatively extracts VitexAgnus and dates pollen in female rats’ hormonal measurement. After exposure to D-galactose, 60 Sprague Dawley rats (180±15 gram) weight and three months ages were randomly distributed into six groups, ten rats received normal saline (control group), ten rats received 70% of the ethanolic extract of Vitex (group 2), ten rats received d-galactose (3 groups), ten rats received date pollen extract (4 groups), ten rats received d-galactose, and Vitex (5 groups), and finally ten rats received d-galactose and dates pollen extract (six groups). Animals from each group underwent a blood hormone test LH, FSH, Progesterone, and Estrogen by using immunological assay enzyme_lnkedimmunosorbent assay kits.The results found LH serum levels in the one group that received normal saline was significantly increased (P< 0.01) in the D-galactose groups, it significantly increased FSH serum levels in the control group that taken dates pollen (P< 0.01) rather than animals, which taken normal saline. Our results found a decrease in estrogen serum levels in the D-galactose groups rather than control groups. Finally, animals in the third group exposed to D-galactose at a dose rate on 500 mg/kg body weight for 30 days showed a significant decrease of Progestin level in serum of exposed rats. In conclusion: female hormonal measurement (LH) was increased, and (estrogen and progesterone) were dropped in the using date pollen. Otherwise, Vitexagnuscastus hasno significant differences in the LH and FSH serum levels.
