This alternative approach is operated by a certified personal trainer, regulating the intensity of the electrical impulses to aid the muscular system to contract. Unaccustomed use of this technique leads to muscle destruction and a rise in creatine kinase level. A 25-year-old female began this therapy and experienced right flank tenderness associated with elevated serum creatine kinase (CK) levels. An impression of Rhabdomyolysis in the Emergency Department was given, followed by intravenous (IV) fluid administration. The patient consequently improved and was discharged with instructions. The study was projected to spread awareness regarding Whole-body electromyostimulation, which is tremendously promoted in Bahrain. This therapy may aid in client monitoring and improve the prognosis.

A study held in the Middle East (ME) revealed that with the increasing number of Stroke cases amongst the Arab population, the mortality rates secondary to stroke is expected to double by the year 2030.The aim of this study was to conduct a descriptive analysis of stroke in the Bahraini female population and assess the associated risk factors leading to stroke. Methods: This retrospective study at a tertiary setting was carried out in Bahrain from the year 2016-2019 with a sample size of 108 female stroke patients. Results: Ischemic stroke was the most reported form of stroke, with the large artery being the most prevalent underlying etiology.

Amongst the mentioned risk factors, the most prevalent factor was seen to be Hypertension, with an overall mortality rate of 10%.

However, controlling the mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) during placement has proven difficult. Several studies evaluated the use of resorbable barriers to act as an internal matrix to prevent accidental extrusion of MTA. The aim of this case report was to document the effectiveness of Surgicel as a modified internal matrix for proper placement of MTA during management of immature teeth with necrotic pulp using the apical plug technique. A 12-year-old female patient reported with the chief complaint of a badly mutilated lower right second premolar. The tooth suffered enamel hypoplasia and had a defective coronal structure. It was asymptomatic except for slight tenderness to percussion. Based on the clinical and radiographic findings, a diagnosis of pulpal necrosis with symptomatic apical periodontitis was made. The 3- and 6-month followup showed radiographic evidence of continued root and hard tissue formation. Based on these findings, we infer that Surgicel can be used as a modified internal matrix to prevent extrusion of the MTA into the periapical area and allow for proper MTA placement.\u0000\u0000Keywords: Apexification; Apical plug; Mineral trioxide aggregate; Calcium hydroxide; Surgicel; Modified internal matrix","PeriodicalId":85027,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Bahrain Medical Society = Majallat Jam'iyat al-Atibba' al-Bahrayniyah","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43088816","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}

Demographic details such as age, gender, and nationality were recorded for each of the patients. Samples were cultured using different nutrient media (MacConkey agar, Sheep blood agar etc.), and analysis was done using standard microbiological techniques and Vitex automated analyzer. Application of Kirby- Bauer procedure and Vitex aided in the assessment of antibiotic resistance of the isolates. Proportion test was used to calculate the study outcomes.
