Abstract

Background: Asthma is a condition in which your airways narrow and swell and produce extra mucus. Objective: In this study we determine the prevalence of asthma among the population of Aljiza District, Jordan. In order to determine the prevalence of asthma in Aljiza District (Amman, Jordan), Method: a questionnaire was distributed to 4200 respondents of different age and gender. Results and Conclusions: The responses were reviewed and the incidences were determined. From the 4200 questionnaires by respondents 131 person (3.1%) suffered from physician-diagnosed asthma. No attempt was made to confirm the diagnosis and the results relied upon responses to questionnaire. The prevalence of asthma in adult females was higher than that of males in all groups. Adult females and males showed a significant priority on other age groups, and children, 5-10 years group have higher prevalence than children, 10-15 years group, in both males and females. In order of frequency, the triggering factors were common cold, dust, allergens, smoke, exercise, and chest infection. A relationship between asthma and paternal smoking, family history and to a lesser extent recurrent chest infections was suggested. The prevalence of asthma in Aljiza District is less than that reported in the southern and northern parts of Jordan and some Middle East countries. Although our results show a low prevalence of asthma, it still is a health problem among children and the adults in Aljiza District.

Abstract

Introduction: Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an uncommon autoimmune disease that is caused by acetylcholine receptor antibodies (AChRA) at the neuromuscular junction. Its pathogenesis involves complement fixing antibodies directed against acetylcholine receptors, muscle-specific tyrosine kinase or low density lipoprotein receptor–related protein. Method: A descriptive case series study investigating rituximab in refractory MG was conducted in Baghdad teaching hospital .Patients who were included in the study had received a regimen of rituximab that was deemed appropriate by their treating physician. Results: A total of 24 patients with mean disease duration of 6.3 years ±3.6 standard deviation were included in this study. The results showed that the average age of patients was 33.3 ,years ±10.1 SD and 62.5% was females. All twenty four patients showed an obvious improvement in clinical status after finishing the follow-up period. The results demonstrated from all patients that enrolled in our study, only one patient that who was on 14 sessions of plasmapheresis was in need for plasmapheresis after induction of rituximab and this difference was statistically significant. Conclusion: There were a great clinical improvement as shown with MMT score in addition to discontinuation of plasma exchange treatments fallowing treatment with rituximab.

Abstract

Denture stomatitis is one of the serious problems that are related to the continuous use of soft lining material due to the accumulation of microorganisms. It is caused mainly by fungal growth, especially of Candida albicans. It, therefore, becomes necessary to examine the effectiveness of incorporating an antifungal drug into the soft lining material. This study was conducted to investigate the efficacy of adding the kappa-carrageenan powder to heat-cured, acrylic-based soft lining material against Candida albicans adherence. A pilot study was performed to decide the best concentration of kappa-carrageenan to be used with the heatcured, acrylic-based soft liner. Five percentages by weight of kappa-carrageenan powder (0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, and 2.5wt.%) were evaluated and compared with the control group (0wt.%). The Candida albicans adherence test was performed to assess the efficacy of kappa-carrageenan powder in preventing the adherence of Candida albicans. Results showed the 1.5wt.% and 2wt.% groups as having the best effect. The main study included preparing thirty samples and dividing them into three groups based on the percentage of powder of kappa-carrageenan added to the heat-cured acrylic-based soft lining material (control: 0wt.%; experimental: 1.5wt.% and 2wt.%). The purpose of performing Candida albicans adherence test was to evaluate the antifungal efficacy of kappa-carrageenan powder addition, and all the resulted data were analysed using “one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Dunnet T3 post-hoc test at a significance level of p<0.05”. The results of Candida albicans adherence test revealed a highly significant decrease in the values of the adhered Candida albicans cells after incorporation of 1.5wt.% and 2wt.% of kappa-carrageenan powder when compared to the control group (p<0.01). The result of this study suggests that the addition of kappa-carrageenan powder is an effective drug against Candida albicans adherence on the surface of the heat-cured acrylic-based soft lining material, and the addition of 2wt.% is more effective than 1.5wt.%.

Abstract

The properties of bones change during life and with age , it may improving in function, ,but in some times function deteriorates. Throughout development and aging, bone shape alters in response to load. This study provide information on the development and normal growth of dental arches in both sex. Forty adult person of both sex were used. They divided in to 4 groups (A, B, C, and D). We will use different size of trays and take alginate impression material to get anatomical impression for the upper and lower jaw from the male and female and obtained a dental cast which is identical to the dental arch and make a table for all measurement that acquired. The results showed that the age have a reliable degradation effect in both sex specially after 40 years old and except in the transverse measurement of female in mandible which started to decline after 30 years excluding the inter canine width which decrease after 40 years.

Abstract

Health services are the right of all Indonesian citizens. The health service system in Indonesia refers to the class system because based on the Law on BPJS itself it explains that the Indonesian public health service is in accordance with the premiums paid. The class system often triggers differences in services that are not the same equity and risk discrimination against health services. BPJS is a Universal Health Coverage (UHC) system in Indonesia. UHC system abroad, the health service is not based on classes, premium payment is the same. Comparison to other countries is not a wise view but it can be a benchmark of the progress or value of the service system in our country. Gradually, non-class based health services must be implemented to equalize and prevent discrimination in health services so that a conducive, fair and patient-based service environment can be created.

Abstract

The approach of restorative justice is a new paradigm in responding the crime of drug abuse. So far, the efforts in acting upon drug abuse uses the prohibitionist principle. This approach has the perspective that the drug abuse is illegal and is a violation of law, and therefore must be prohibited. The focus of this policy is the efforts of controlling policies in minimizing drug black markets through punitive ways and imprisonment. Restorative justice is the most logical and humane choice for drug abusers who are not involved in the distribution network. They are victims who must be healed and restored, as opposed to being imprisoned. There are many positive effects of drug abuse rehabilitation. The drug abuser will be saved from their problem of addiction of illegal drugs. It is hoped that when they are healed, they can return to the society and socialize with the people as before.
