Anal localization is characterized by its rarity, and its non-consensual management. In this study we describe and discuss the anatomopathological aspects which led to the fortuitous discovery of a case of nevus and a case of melanoma of anal location. The cases involved samples taken from a 30-year-old female and a 75-year-old male. Both examinations concerned surgical pieces received fixed. Histological and immunohistochemical examination was performed for both observations. In the case of the nevus, the histological appearance was misleading and difficult, initially evoking a melanoma. The diagnosis of the melanoma case was easier and confirmed by a positive HMB45 staining. In proctology, melanocytic tumors are rare with a variable and nonspecific clinical presentation. Melanoma on black skin occurs in locations that are not photo-exposed mucous membranes with a poor prognosis.","PeriodicalId":253047,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pathology Research Reviews & Reports","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117301145","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}

To observe the necessity of conjunctival swab culture and sensitivity prior to intraocular surgery as a preventive measure against post operative endophthalmitis in the socio-economic perspective of our country. Method: A retrospective review of microbiological records of conjunctival swab was done for 22 months (From August 2000 to May 2002) in BSMMU, Dhaka, Bangladesh. We selected the culture positive cases for our study. Antibiotic susceptibility of these isolates was determined for fourteen ocular and systemic antibiotics. Result: Among 209 attendant cases, 57 were culture positive. All of them were gram positive bacteria. Most of them were staphylococcus epidermis 47 (82.5%) others were staphylococcus aureus 5 (8.77%); streptococcus viridans 5 (8.77%). There was specific age variation also. All organisms were 100% sensitive to Chloramphenicol. Staphylococcus epidermidis, treptococcus viridans were 100% sensitive to Gentamycin and Ciprofloxacin, while staphylococcus aureus show 80% sensitivity. Organisms were least sensitive to Neosporin. Conclusion: Commonest isolated organism from conjunctival swab is staphylococcus epidermidis (82.5%). All the organism shows full range of sensitivity and no resistance to chloramphenicol; also maximum sensitivity and no resistance to Gentamycin, Ciprofloxacin in our study group and from this it can be conclude that instead of doing random C/S for conjunctival swab we can give prophylactic broad spectrum antibiotic eye drop to starilize conjunctival sac before surgery.","PeriodicalId":253047,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pathology Research Reviews & Reports","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128679631","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 preventative effect of fluoride on dental caries results from its topical contact with the surface of the enamel and through its antibacterial properties. The influence of fluoride on the oral health of children is at several levels. Studies have shown that parents have a low level of knowledge about the essential role of fluorides on teeth. The purpose of this study is to assess knowledge, identify attitudes and determine parental practices regarding fluorides in the prevention of dental caries in children.","PeriodicalId":253047,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pathology Research Reviews & Reports","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116237361","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}
