Incidence of Postoperative Epiretinal Membrane Development Following 23-Gauge Pars Plana Vitrectomy for Complex Diabetic Tractional Retinal Detachment: A Comparative Study of Silicone Oil and Balanced Salt Solution Tamponade
Authors: Kadhim Ahmed Abbas , Al Shalchi Abeer , Bananzada Ameer
Published: February 2024

BACKGROUND: Tractional retinal detachment (TRD) poses a significant threat to vision in diabetic patients, necessitating surgical intervention. However, the choice of tamponade agent (silicone oil vs. balanced salt solution [BSS]) and the presence of incomplete hemostasis during surgery can influence postoperative complications, specifically the development of epiretinal membranes (ERMs).
METHODS: This prospective study involved 235 patients undergoing 23-Gauge pars plana vitrectomy for diabetic TRD with incomplete hemostasis. Patients were categorized into two groups based on tamponade agent used. ERM development was assessed clinically and through optical coherence tomography (OCT).
RESULTS: Among the cases with incomplete hemostasis and residual preretinal hemorrhage, 71.80% of those in the silicone oil group developed ERMs, in contrast to 11.76% in the BSS. Notably, 46.2% of silicone oil cases with ERMs required reoperation, whereas 47.4% remained ERM-free.
DISCUSSION: The choice of tamponade agent was a crucial determinant in ERM development, with silicone oil exhibiting a significantly higher incidence. Moreover, silicone oil cases with macular tractional effects had a substantial proportion of ERMs necessitating reoperation. These findings underscore the importance of vigilant postoperative monitoring.
CONCLUSION: In cases involving incomplete hemostasis during vitrectomy for diabetic TRD, the use of silicone oil as a tamponade agent is associated with a substantially increased risk of postoperative ERM development. Clinically, this highlights the need for meticulous patient management. Further research is warranted to validate these results and explore long-term outcomes.

METHODS: We examined two groups of patients: The first group – 46 patients with psoriasis vulgaris in the period of exacerbation of the disease; the second group – 15 patients with exacerbation of psoriasis who contracted a mild or moderately severe coronavirus infection. The control group consisted of 15 conditionally healthy donors. The levels of cytokines IL-1b, IL-6, IL-8, IL-17a, IL-4, and IL-10 in the blood of patients and practically healthy individuals were determined by the enzyme immunoenzymatic method, using the “Human ELISE Kit” reagent sets (Fine Biotech., China), according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The difference between the study groups was assessed using the Mann–Whitney U-test. The results were considered significant at p < 0.01. All calculations were carried out using Microsoft Excel (Office 365).
RESULTS: Psoriasis patients who have contracted COVID-19 had higher levels of IL-1b, IL-6, and IL-8 in their blood than patients with psoriasis vulgaris.
CONCLUSION: Increased levels of IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-8 in the blood of patients with psoriasis may be a trigger factor for acute psoriasis in patients who have suffered from COVID-19.

Authors: Hanafy M.A. , Fahmy O.M. , Elezz A.F. Abo
Published: February 2024

BACKGROUND: Preheating resin composite was one of the latest achievements to improve the mechanical properties of composite.
AIM: This study was conducted to assess the effect of preheating of resin composite on microtensile bond strength to dentin.
METHODS AND MATERIALS: A total of 32 human molars were selected and divided into two groups according to the type of resin composites either microhybrid (P60) (R1) or nanohybrid (Z250 XT) (R2). The molar teeth were embedded in acrylic resin blocks then the occlusal enamel was removed parallel to cementoenamel junction to expose the dentin. Each group was subdivided into four subgroups according to the number of preheating cycles of resin composite either no heating (C0), one preheating cycle at 68℃ (C1), two preheating cycles at 68℃ (C2), or three preheating cycles at 68℃ (C3). After bonding of resin composite, specimens were cut into beams 1 mm thick and stressed in tension using a universal testing machine (4 teeth per group/12 beams per tooth).
STATISTICAL ANALYSIS USED: Two-way ANOVA and Tukey’s post hoc tests were used to test the effect of preheating resin composites for the interaction of different variables.
RESULTS: In both variables of the study, the type of resin composite and the number of preheating cycles have a statistically significant effect on the microtensile bond strength to dentin. There was a significant interaction between the variables.
CONCLUSION: Pre-heating of Filtek P60 as a packable composite at 68℃ can achieve significantly higher microtensile bond strength compared to Filtek Z250 as a microhybrid composite.
Key Messages: Preheating of resin composite enhances the mechanical properties of resin composite. Furthermore, better adaptation is due to easily flow of the material in additional to the improvement of microtensile bond strength of resin composite due to monomer and radical mobility due to complete polymerization during preheating.

BACKGROUND: Malaria still remains a major public health problem globally including in Indonesia. At present, most of malaria cases are in the eastern part of the country. However, there is no information yet regarding the trends of malaria prevalence at rural health institution particularly at Mangili Public Health Centre.
AIM: This study aims to explore the trend of malaria prevalence over a 10-year period.
METHODS: A retrospective study was carried out in the center. The laboratory record books from January 2013 to December 2022 were carefully reviewed to identify malaria cases based on the sex, age, type of Plasmodium, year, and month when the patients diagnosed malaria microscopically. The trend analysis was applied to identify the trend of malaria over the period under review.
RESULTS: Over the past 10 years, 19,938 blood films were requested for malaria diagnosis at the health center. From this number, 3.679 (18.5%, with 95% confidence interval (CI): 17.2–19.7) were microscopically confirmed malaria cases. From the total cases, prevalence of Plasmodium falciparum (Pf), vivax and mix infection was 85.5% with 95% CI: 84.3–86.8; 6.39% with 95% CI: 3.26–9.51; and 7.58% with 95% CI: 4.48–10.7, respectively. The number of malaria cases reached a peak in January, while it was the lowest in October. Overall trend on the prevalence of malaria decreased significantly; however, the prevalence of Pf increased considerably during COVID-19 pandemic. The prevalence of Pf, vivax, and mixed infection was higher in male, age group ≥ 15, and student than their counterpart.
CONCLUSION: Malaria remains high in this area with Pf that is the dominant species followed by mixed infection. Scaling up malaria control and prevention activities is very crucial to significantly reduce the burden of malaria and to boost malaria elimination in this region.

BACKGROUND: Improving smile aesthetics is the main reason patients seek different treatments. AIM: This study aimed to evaluate some of the smile characteristics in patients with completed orthodontic treatment and patients with different types of dentoalveolar malocclusion using the method of photogrammetric analysis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The sample consisted of 52 young adults aged 16–35 years. A standardized smile analysis was used to evaluate ten smile characteristics. Two frontal digital photographs were taken for each individual, one at rest and the other with a posed smile. RESULTS: A student’s t-test was used to evaluate the differences between the mean values of the smile characteristics of each type of malocclusion in untreated and treated patients. Comparing the characteristics of the smile in the study groups of treated and untreated patients with a subgroup of Class I and Class III malocclusion, no significant difference was observed in the mean values of the studied parameters. A statistically significant difference was observed only in the mean values of upper incisor exposure and left buccal corridor between untreated and treated patients with class II malocclusion. CONCLUSION: Knowledge of the correlation between hard and soft-tissue anatomy and smile esthetics has important clinical significance; therefore, the components of the smile should be considered as a guide to assist in orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning.

L’obtention d’un DBA est une réussite exceptionnelle. En réfléchissant à leur parcours, les diplômés disent souvent qu’ils ont sous-estimé à la fois l’engagement et les avantages qui en découlent. Ils reconnaissent évidemment qu’il s’agit d’un investissement important en temps et en argent, mais il existe de nombreuses exigences et conséquences moins évidentes liées aux changements personnels et au développement d’une identité scientifique. Il s’agit de considérations importantes tant pour l’individu que pour son entourage, sa famille, ses amis, ses collègues et ses employeurs, qui investissent également dans le candidat. L’impact de la recherche peut être réalisé pendant la phase de recherche ainsi qu’à la fin, lorsque les résultats peuvent être communiqués et les changements mis en œuvre. L’avantage de la recherche appliquée du DBA est qu’elle est souvent menée au sein des organisations, et pas seulement à leur sujet, comme c’est le cas pour le doctorat traditionnel (PhD). Par conséquent, le retour sur investissement peut être réalisé, souvent avant même que le diplôme ne soit décerné. Ce chapitre examine certaines des considérations importantes pour quiconque envisage de commencer un DBA.

Qui s’engage dans un programme DBA ? Qu’est-ce qui incite quelqu’un à s’engager dans un programme de DBA ? La réponse développée dans ce chapitre concerne deux groupes de personnes. D’une part, le DBA attire des cadres supérieurs à la recherche d’une légitimité professionnelle et d’un coup de pouce pour leur carrière, désireux de développer et de commercialiser un concept ou de donner un sens à des pratiques professionnelles par la prise de recul, ou encore à la recherche d’un développement personnel. D’autre part, le DBA rassemble des cadres attirés par le monde universitaire, certains y effectuant une transition tandis que d’autres souhaitent y rester et y progresser.

Selon le contexte géographique et culturel dans lequel ils travaillent, les candidats au DBA ont des motivations différentes pour s’engager dans des études doctorales. En Chine et au Moyen-Orient, le titre de noblesse (académique) attaché au DBA est un moteur. Dans les Amériques, le DBA permet la reconnaissance de l’expertise de ses détenteurs. Dans les pays subsahariens francophones, la sagesse qui y est associée confère une certaine respectabilité, tandis qu’en Europe, il démontre la capacité à sortir des sentiers battus.

Les professionnels très occupés ont souvent du mal à assister à des sessions sur le campus en raison de contraintes de temps, un défi qui est encore plus grand s’ils doivent se déplacer depuis des endroits éloignés. Pour ces doctorants, il y a de réels avantages à basculer en ligne, car il est possible de développer une communauté de recherche en ligne. Une communauté de recherche se caractérise par une présence cognitive, sociale et pédagogique. La présence cognitive est axée sur le processus individuel de recherche réflexive ; la présence pédagogique implique la conception, la facilitation et la direction de l’apprentissage et le processus social saisit la dimension « communautaire » de l’apprentissage. Cette étude de cas du Gordon Institute of Business Science (GIBS) de l’Université de Pretoria en Afrique du Sud montre comment ces trois présences ont été rendues possibles et se sont aidées mutuellement dans une communauté en ligne.
