Now these are frequently used in cell transplant therapies to repair damaged adult tissues.","PeriodicalId":215481,"journal":{"name":"Global Journal of Surgery and Surgical Techniques","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126149456","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In particular, key principle N.17 on the “Inclusion of people with disabilities” declares that “People with disabilities have the right to income support that ensures living in dignity, services that enable them to participate in the labor market and in society, and a work environment adapted to their needs” [1].\u0000In continuity with its long-term policy on the fight against pain, the Italian NGO Cittadinanzattiva APS [2], through its EU branch Active Citizenship Network [3] (ACN), has become an official Ambassador for the EU Social Pillar, following the invitation by the EU Commission-DG EMPL in 2020, in order to contribute to better implement the European Pillar of Social Rights for people suffering from chronic pain. This article has been written with the hope that the collection and dissemination of good practices against chronic pain, which ACN has been carried out across Europe for years, as well as the online publication of good practices by experts and committed operators, could be valued in the contest of the European Pillar of Social Rights and contribute to transfer the recent achievement on chronic pain from the European political agenda to the European culture as fast as possible.","PeriodicalId":215481,"journal":{"name":"Global Journal of Surgery and Surgical Techniques","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121595007","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Little is known about the pattern of surgical conditions associated with the uncommon and rare childhood syndromes in Iraq. The aim of this paper to describe our experience with uncommon and rare childhood syndromes associated with surgical conditions observed in two tertiary referral centers in Baghdad. Patients and methods: Twenty one unrelated patients (10 males and 11 females) with uncommon and rare syndromes associated with surgical conditions were observed. The patient’s age ranged from 3 days to 18 years. The patients were observed during the period from 1994 to December 2019 in two tertiary referral teaching hospitals (University Hospital in Al-Kadhimiyia which was called later “Al-Kadhimiyia Teaching Hospital” and the Children Teaching Hospital of Baghdad Medical City). Results: The twenty one patients had seventeen uncommon and rare syndromes associated with surgical conditions including ocular conditions (Cataracts and glaucoma), congenital heart disease, gastrointestinal surgical conditions (Imperforated anus, congenital primary cricopharyngeal achalasia, omphalocele and neonatal Hirschsprung disease), urologic surgical condition (Undescended testes) and orthopedic surgical conditions. (Hip dislocation and multiple fractures), gynecologic ocular conditions (Hematocolpos which is caused by hemivaginal obstruction) and surgical conditions needing plastic surgeries. Conclusion: This unique series of pediatric syndromes associated with surgical conditions included a new Iraqi variant of oculocerebrorenal syndrome, the cases number 35 and 36 of cutis laxa type II (Debre type) in the literature, the case number 52 of Ruprecht Majewski-Bosma syndrome in literature, the 58th case of Toriello-Carey syndrome in the literature, the case number 130 of Townes Brocks syndrome, the twenty eighth case of congenital Chevalier Jackson in the literature, the thirty fourth case of Goldberg Shprintzen syndrome and the fourth patient in the literature with the syndrome of microtia/anotia syndrome and congenital facial palsy without other abnormalities.","PeriodicalId":215481,"journal":{"name":"Global Journal of Surgery and Surgical Techniques","volume":"385 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124783229","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Abstract\u00001.1. Background: Cherubism is a very rare, mostly a childhood condition that can be horribly disfiguring. We have previously reported our extensive experiences with the diagnosis of rare genetic disorders in a plethora of publications. We have previously reported a large number of rare conditions in Iraq and we have also helped physicians in the diagnosis and publication of rare syndromes observed in other countries. The aim of this papers is to help physicians in advancing the diagnostic skills in the field of clinical genetics by reviewing briefly a rare syndrome that have not been reported in Iraq, but it is associated with certain clinical characteristics that allow an early diagnosis when seen for the first time. \u00001.2. Patients and methods: During the last week of January, 2021, several TV channels presented and discussed the problem of two brothers from Egypt who were considered to have a very rare poorly defined condition that has been associated with progressive disfigurement which resulted in embarrassing social encounters. The cases of the two brothers are presented.\u00001.3. Results: The older brother aged 15 and the younger brother aged 14 years. Both had abnormal bilateral and symmetric growth of the jaw resulting in a wide jaw appearance and a round and swollen appearance of cheeks. They also had no teeth on the lower jaw and loose or misplaced teeth on the upper jaw. The parents and a third brother were unaffected. Both children didn’t have mental retardation. The older brother had more severe disfigurement and many people were asking him to remove the mask he is wearing. He also had very poor vision of left eye resulting from the pressure effect and upward displacement of the eye. The younger brother had a surgical operation to remove a benign tumor from the lower jaw which reduced his disfigurement.\u0000Conclusion: Awareness of doctors with this condition “Cherubism” is helpful and denosumab can be tried in severe cases based on the evidence provided by Bar Droma, et al (2020).","PeriodicalId":215481,"journal":{"name":"Global Journal of Surgery and Surgical Techniques","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130947035","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
