It causes tympanic membrane perforation, otorrhea, and conductive hearing loss. Type 1 tympanoplasty is a common otological procedure done to eliminate the infection and improve hearing and quality of life. Objective To compare graft uptake and hearing outcome using autologous grafts (tragal cartilage, temporalis fascia (control group), and tragal perichondrium) in tympanoplasty type 1. Patients and methods A total of 45 patients with chronic suppurative otitis media were included in this comparative study. They were divided into three groups, with 15 patients in each group: group A received tragal cartilage graft, group B received temporalis fascia graft (control group), and group C received tragal perichondrial graft. Patients were subjected to detailed history taking, proper clinical examination, routine blood investigations, audiometry, and tympanometry preoperatively. They underwent underlay tympanoplasty type 1. Postoperative follow-up was done after 3 months by otoscopy to evaluate graft uptake and hearing outcome by audiometry, and results were compared. Results Graft uptake was 93.3% in the cartilage group, 73.3% in fascia (control) group, and 66.7% in perichondrium group. There was hearing improvement in cartilage group than fascia (control) group, which was better than perichondrium group, with no statistically significant difference among the three groups regarding graft uptake (P=0.188) or hearing gain. Conclusion Graft uptake and hearing improvement were better with tragal cartilage graft in comparison with fascia (control group) and perichondrium grafts, with no statistically significant difference between them.","PeriodicalId":22975,"journal":{"name":"The Scientific Journal of Al-Azhar Medical Faculty, Girls","volume":"2 1","pages":"462 - 467"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73172530","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}

Dexmedetomidine (DEX) has analgesic, sedative, anxiolytic effect, as it is an α 2-receptor agonist. Intraoperative visceral pain resulting from manipulation of the uterus and traction of the peritoneum is still a challenge for anesthetists. The present study hypothesized that single intravenous bolus dose of DEX added as a supplement to intrathecal anesthesia for an elective cesarean section could reduce intraoperative visceral pain, lessen blood pressure swings, and produce an acceptable sedative effect, with minimal fetal and maternal consequences. Patients and methods A randomized double-blinded placebo-controlled study was conducted. A total of 70 patients were randomly allocated to receive either intravenous DEX or placebo (saline) before spinal anesthesia. The primary outcomes were decreased intraoperative visceral pain. Secondary outcomes included the stability of hemodynamic parameters (blood pressure and heart rate), sedation score, time to rescue analgesia reduction, neonatal APGAR score, and any adverse effects (nausea and vomiting). Results There was a significant difference between the groups in the incidence of moderate to severe visceral pain (P<0.001), intraoperative fentanyl requirements (P=0.004), and longer time to rescue analgesia (P<0.001). Both groups had comparable mean blood pressure (P>0.005); however, there was a highly significant difference in heart rate (P=0.01). Moreover, a significantly higher sedation score was seen in the DEX group (2.08±0.8) in comparison with the control group (1±0). APGAR score was comparable in the studied groups. Conclusion As a single intravenous bolus, DEX seems to be an excellent supplement to intrathecal anesthesia for an elective cesarean section. It can reduce intraoperative visceral pain and lessen blood pressure swings and produce an acceptable sedative effect with minimal fetal and maternal influence.","PeriodicalId":22975,"journal":{"name":"The Scientific Journal of Al-Azhar Medical Faculty, Girls","volume":"44 1","pages":"334 - 340"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85123208","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}

The most important investigations to diagnose wrist pathologies include ultrasound, computed tomography, and MRI. Aim The aim of this study is to evaluate the diagnostic performance of both ultrasonography and MRI findings in ECU tendon part of triangular fibrocartilage complex. Patients and methods This control study was carried out on 50 patients with ulnar side wrist pain. The study was conducted in the period from May 2018 to May 2020 at the Radiology Department and approved by the Ethics Committee, and all patients gave their informed consent before inclusion in the study. Results were collected then analyzed using a specialized computer statistical program. Results MRI detected ECU injury in 13 joints, whereas ultrasound detected it in 17 joints. They both agreed in 46 joints. MRI missed four joints with ECU injury detected by ultrasound. Statistical analysis of the results showed a highly significant agreement (P value) between both MRI and ultrasound in the detection of ECU injury. Conclusion Both MRI and musculoskeletal ultrasound have complimentary roles in the evaluation of different causes of ulnar sided wrist pain. Musculoskeletal ultrasound is highly recommended for the examination of tendons and inflammatory changes of the wrist.","PeriodicalId":22975,"journal":{"name":"The Scientific Journal of Al-Azhar Medical Faculty, Girls","volume":"29 1","pages":"388 - 393"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87601237","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}

Objective To emphasize the role of MDCT in evaluation of different intestinal disorders in adults. Patients and methods An MDCT was performed on patients referred to the Radiology Department for diagnosis of suspected intestinal diseases at Zahra Hospital and private radiology centers from September 2018 to September 2020. Patients’ selection was based on the need for evaluation of suspected intestinal diseases in adults that were not precisely diagnosed. We used a 128-GE MDCT and 160-Toshiba MDCT. Results A total of 92 patients were included. The mean age of the patients was 47.71±15.66 years, and 67.4% were males. Abdominal pain represented the highest distribution (58.7%) of clinical presentation, whereas abdominal trauma and heart burn represented the lowest distribution (1.1%). Cases with malignancy have the highest distribution of pathological abnormalities (28%), whereas cases with intestinal ischemia have the lowest distribution (1.1%). The most common site for intestinal lesion was large intestine (71.7%), whereas lesions of both small and large intestine represented lowest distribution (8.7%). In addition, 95.7% of the cases had intestinal wall thickening. White pattern represented the highest distribution of enhancement (43.5%), whereas homogenous pattern represented lowest distribution (3.3%) (P<0.05). Besides, segmental pattern represented the highest distribution of large-bowel extension (33.75%), and diffuse pattern represented lowest distribution (23.9%).

Environmental enteropathy is defined as an inflammatory condition of the gut, which is commonly presented in low-income countries that leads to intestinal malabsorption. Aim To study some risk factors of Environmental enteropathy in stunted children owing to malnutrition in the pre-school age (2–5 years). Patients and methods Our study was a cross-sectional study that was conducted on one group of 80 children aged from 2 to 5 years, who were diagnosed to have stunting owing to malnutrition. Their height-for-age was below −2 SD according to the WHO growth curves, matched regarding sex and age. They were from the National Nutrition Institute and attended the stunting clinic every Monday and Thursday from July 2017 to October 2019. Results There was a statistically significant difference between stool analysis and neopterin level (P=0.0035). A higher level of neopterin was among those with Entamoeba histolytica infection. Moreover, there was a statistically significant difference between the frequency of sweets and snack intake and neopterin level (P=0.001). Higher levels were among daily sweet intake. There was a positive correlation between neopterin level and age of starting weaning (P=0.006), whereas a negative correlation with duration of absolute breastfeeding (P=0.049). Conclusion Neopterin level was high among children with intestinal infection of E. histolytica followed by oxyrious and giardia. Dietary habits of daily intake of unhealthy sweety snacks showed a high level of neopterin. Exclusive 6 months of breastfeeding had a negative correlation with neopterin level.","PeriodicalId":22975,"journal":{"name":"The Scientific Journal of Al-Azhar Medical Faculty, Girls","volume":"22 1","pages":"320 - 325"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84052002","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}
