Abstract

Background: Intertrochanteric femoral fractures are common in the elderly population and pose significant challenges in orthopedic surgery. The Proximal Femoral Nail Antirotation (PFNA) has emerged as a promising fixation method, offering biomechanical advantages in the management of these fractures. This study evaluates the effectiveness and outcomes of PFNA in patients with intertrochanteric femoral fractures. Aim: To assess the clinical outcomes, healing efficacy, and complication rates associated with the use of PFNA in the fixation of intertrochanteric femoral fractures. Patients and Methods: In this prospective study, 40 patients with intertrochanteric femoral fractures were treated using PFNA. The cohort was monitored for a follow-up period of 12 months post-surgery. Key outcome measures included fracture union time, functional recovery using the Modified Harris Hip Score, and the incidence of postoperative complications. Results: All 40 patients successfully underwent intertrochanteric femoral fracture fixation with PFNA. The average time to fracture union was observed to be within the expected range for this patient population. Functional recovery, as measured by the Modified Harris Hip Score, showed significant improvement over the 12-month follow-up period. The complication rate was minimal, with only a few cases experiencing minor, manageable complications. There was no incidence of implant failure or significant postoperative morbidity. Conclusion: The study demonstrates that PFNA is a reliable and effective method for fixing intertrochanteric femoral fractures, providing satisfactory stabilization, timely bone healing, and low complication rate. It supports its use as a treatment option, but further studies with larger sample sizes and longer follow-up periods are recommended. Highlights: Evaluate PFNA effectiveness in intertrochanteric femoral fracture fixation. Prospective study, 40 patients, 12-month follow-up, functional recovery assessed. PFNA ensures stable fixation, timely healing, and low complication rates. Keywords: PFNA, intertrochanteric femoral fractures, fixation, functional recovery, complication rate

Abstract

Background: Tonsillitis and pharyngitis are the most common oral infections accompanied by risky complications, including infection recurrence and antibiotic resistance. Streptococcus pyogenes and Staphylococcus aureus are the predominant cause of such infection. Objective: This study comes to investigate the nature of bacterial interactions between probiotic lactobacilli and bacilli, isolated from milk products, with the most common pathogenic bacteria causing tonsillitis and pharyngitis in human. Methods: A 20 samples of local milk products were collected. in addition to 25 tonsil swabs were collected from patients with tonsillopharyngitis. VITEK system2 was used to confirm bacterial identification. The antibiotic susceptibility of bacterial isolates was evaluated to five tested antibiotics. Co-aggregation capability of tested bacterial species was evaluated to investigate the nature of bacterial interactions towards each other. Results: Of the 20 milk samples, the VITEK2 system confirmed that 3 (60%) of bacterial growth were identified as Bacillus subtillus while 8 (72.7%) were Lactobacillus plantarum. On the other hand, 11 (73.3%) of bacterial growth were Streptococcus pyogenes and 6 (100%) were Staphylococcus aureus isolated from tonsillopharngitis patients. The isolated S. pyogenes and S. aureus were highly resistant to the tested antibiotics, but not to vancomycin. Both bacilli and lactobacilli species showed high co-aggregation scores with the isolated pathogenic bacteria. Conclusions: The antibiotic resistance of pathogenic bacteria requires urgent, safe, and effective alternative antimicrobial agents. Beneficial bacteria capable to compete with the growth of pathogens and inhibit their growth, eventually, preventing such infections. Highlights: Antibiotic-resistant S. pyogenes and S. aureus cause recurrent tonsillopharyngitis. Milk-derived L. plantarum and B. subtilis co-aggregate with pathogens, inhibiting colonization. Probiotics offer a natural alternative for preventing antibiotic-resistant infections. Keywords: Tonsillopharyngitis, Streptococcus pyogenes, Staphylococcus aureus, bacilli and lactobacilli, auto-aggregation and co-aggregation.

Abstract

This study aims to study the relationship between glycine levels and the activity of glutamate-oxaloacetate transaminase (GOT) and glutamate-pyruvate transaminase (GPT) in different tissues (blood, heart, liver) and explore the impact of this relationship on heart and liver diseases. Data were collected from thirty patients with varying levels of glycine in the blood, and the activity of GOT and GPT enzymes was measured in blood, heart and liver samples, with the effect of glycine on the activity of these enzymes analyzed. The results showed that glycine levels were positively correlated with GOT and GPT enzyme activities in blood, heart, and liver. For example, in blood, the results showed that GOT enzyme activity was 15.29 U/100ml protein at 0.3% glycine level, and increased to 19.0 U/100ml protein at 8.1% glycine level. In heart, GOT enzyme activity was 18.21 U/100ml protein at 0.3% glycine level, and increased to 18.3 U/100ml protein at 4.0% glycine level. In liver, the enzyme activity was initially 14.72 U/100ml protein at 0.3% glycine level, and then increased to 19.0 U/100ml protein at higher glycine levels. The results also showed a significant increase in the total tissue activity with increasing glycine levels. In blood, the total activity increased from 14.1 U at 0% glycine to 31.4 U at 2.0% glycine. In the heart, the total activity increased from 27.0 U to 33.8 U at the same glycine levels, reflecting the effect of glycine in enhancing the enzyme activity in cardiac tissue. These results are an important step towards understanding the effect of glycine in improving enzyme activity and promoting metabolic balance, especially in the context of heart and liver diseases. The study also highlights the therapeutic potential of glycine as a nutritional compound in mitigating the effects of oxidative stress and improving the health of damaged tissues. Based on these results, glycine may play a pivotal role in developing new therapeutic strategies to enhance the health of heart and liver tissues. Finally, this study contributes to adding new knowledge about the role of glycine in improving the levels of enzymes that contribute to the balance of metabolic reactions and protecting tissues from damage resulting from oxidative stress, which opens new horizons for medical and therapeutic research in this field. Highlights: Glycine enhances GOT & GPT enzyme activity in blood, heart, and liver. Increased glycine levels improve metabolic balance and tissue health. Potential therapeutic role of glycine in heart and liver diseases. Keywords: Glycine, Enzyme Activity, Metabolic Balance, Heart Health, Liver Function

Abstract

Background: Visceral fat is a key health indicator due to its physiological link to vital body functions, particularly blood pressure regulation. Elevated visceral fat has been associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases and metabolic disorders. Specific Background: High blood pressure, a chronic condition characterized by elevated arterial pressure, is influenced by various physiological factors, including body composition. The excessive accumulation of visceral fat can contribute to hypertension by impacting cardiovascular and metabolic functions. Knowledge Gap: Despite existing studies on obesity and hypertension, limited research has explored the direct correlation between visceral fat levels and blood pressure among university students in Iraq. Aims: This study aims to assess visceral fat levels and blood pressure among students at the Open Educational College – Basra Center and examine the relationship between these two variables. Results: Among 85 participants (42% male, 58% female, mean age 40.14 years), 55% had abnormal visceral fat levels, and 52% exhibited elevated blood pressure. Chi-square analysis revealed a significant relationship (X² = 8.125, p = 0.028) between visceral fat and hypertension, indicating that individuals with higher visceral fat percentages were more likely to have elevated blood pressure. Novelty: This study provides empirical evidence linking visceral fat accumulation to increased blood pressure in an understudied population, reinforcing the importance of visceral fat as a predictive factor for hypertension. Implications: The findings highlight the necessity for targeted health interventions, including lifestyle modifications and public health strategies, to mitigate the risks associated with excessive visceral fat accumulation and hypertension. Future research should further investigate underlying mechanisms and preventive measures tailored to at-risk populations. Highlights: Visceral fat impacts blood pressure, influencing cardiovascular health. Higher visceral fat correlates with increased blood pressure levels. Managing visceral fat may help regulate blood pressure and prevent complications. Keywords: Visceral fat, blood pressure, obesity, cardiovascular health, hypertension.
