Objective: This study assessed the prevalence and clinical characteristics of inpatient dermatologic diseases, examined trends over 3 academic years in a tertiary care hospital in Thailand, and evaluated their relevance to the current dermatology residency curriculum.
Materials and Methods: A retrospective review was performed at the Department of Dermatology, Faculty of Medicine Siriraj Hospital, Mahidol University, Bangkok, Thailand. Consultation records from July 2018 to June 2021 were assessed. Data extracted included patient age, sex, referring departments, and diagnoses.
Results: Of the 1964 consultations, 2002 diagnoses were identified. Consistent with previous findings, the predominant diagnostic categories were drug eruptions (28.02%; 561), eczema (16.18%; 324), and viral infections (9.29%; 186). Internal medicine made the most requests, followed by surgery and orthopedics. While the prevalence of consulted diseases remained constant over the 3 academic years, the total number of consultations increased. Most of the consulted conditions were already covered in the “must-know” section of the dermatology residency curriculum, with a few exceptions. The consultation cases satisfied the inpatient evaluation requirements of EntrustableProfessional Activity.
Conclusion: The prevalence of inpatient dermatologic diseases was highest for drug eruptions, followed by eczema and viral infections. The consistent trend in the prevalence of these consulted diseases underscores the significance of inpatient dermatology. Incorporating these insights into revisions of the dermatology residency curriculum may enhance the training of dermatologists.
A Narrative Review Current Physical Therapy Management for Patellar Tendinopathy
Authors: Dungkong Sangarun
Published: April 2024

Patellar tendinopathy, or jumper’s knee, is a common chronic musculoskeletal disease in the tendon that occurs in lower-extremities injuries. It is common in athletes, particularly sports that integrate frequent jumping and landing, such as volleyball (45%), basketball (32%), and distance running (14%), Patellar tendinopathy is usually difficult for such athletes to manage during the active sports season. This review article is recommended for physical therapists for the conservative treatment in competition season and post-operative rehabilitation of patellar tendon injuries. This review article discusses a new intervention for physiotherapy treatment for Patellar tendinopathy that can support a significant improvement in performance in sport and functional daily activity. The ultimate aim is to develop a clinical practice recommendation for physical therapists for the conservative treatment and post-operative rehabilitation of patellar tendon injuries. This review article found that physical therapy is popularly used to treat Patellar tendinopathy and effective interventions consist of exercise, extracorporeal shockwave therapy, high-energy laser therapy, elastic therapeutic taping, and education for prevention of issues. The post-operative rehabilitation protocol for patella tendon injuries aims to decrease pain, improve the range of motion, and ensure early ambulation and a quick return to sport, though in a time period that is decided on a case-by-case basis depending on the person and the sport. Post-operative rehabilitation is highly important for ensuring a safe return to sport and good quality of life.

Authors: Laohavichitra Kannikar , Wannaprasert Jerasak , Ratanachu-ek Thawee
Published: April 2024

Objective: To study the outcomes of endoscopic ultrasound-guided gastroenterostomy (EUS-GE) using lumenapposing metal stent (LAMS) in patients with benign and malignant gastric outlet obstruction (GOO).
Materials and Methods: This single-center study retrospectively reviewed the medical records of benign and malignant GOO patients who underwent EUS-GE between May 2019 and September 2023. We evaluated the technical success, adverse events related to the techniques used, clinical success, and recurrence and reintervention rates.
Results: A total of twelve patients who underwent three different EUS-GE techniques were included in this study. The first method was the direct over-the-guidewire technique, the second was the wireless-freehand method, and the third was modified endoscopic ultrasound-guided double-balloon occluded gastroenterostomy bypass (M-EPASS). All 3 techniques used preloaded oroenteral catheters in combination. Technical success was achieved in 83.3% (10/12) of patients, and there were 16.6% (2/12) failures due to misdeployment. One (8.3%) severe adverse event occurred resulting in peritonitis during the direct over-the-guidewire method. The second failure, which ensued after use of the wireless-freehand technique, achieved successful stent deployment at the second attempt without any complications. Clinical success was 100% (11/11), and mean follow up was 6.2 months. There was one (9.1 %) incidence of recurrence at 12-month follow up.
Conclusion: EUS-GE is effective in the management of GOO, and the wireless-freehand and M-EPASS techniques in combination with oroenteral catheters should be the technique of choice in term of safety and efficacy.

Published: April 2024

Background: Spinal dural arteriovenous fistulas (SDAVFs) are rare complex spinal vascular shunts, which caninevitably lead to severe disability if remain untreated.
Methods: Retrospective analysis of SDAVFs patientsina period of three years (2019 to 2021) who presented with progressive paraparesis, bladder symptoms and/or sensory disturbances. They were evaluated by MRI and localization of the fistula was done by spinal catheter angiogram. Spinal AV fistulas were simply classified as extradural and intradural.They all underwent microsurgical shunt interruption. Neurological function was evaluated by Aminoff-Logue Scale (ALS) consecutively at the day before surgery, 6 months and 1year after surgery. Results: A total of 20 patients (mean age 35 ± 10 years, 16 (80.0%) are male.The mean interval from onset to diagnosis was 6 ± 3 months. Among the anatomical location of fistulas, 1(05.0%) was in cervical, 16 (80.0%)were inthoracic, and 3 (15.0%) were in lumbar. Among the angiographic types of fistulas, 18(90.0%) were intradural and,2(10.0%) were extradural.Mean pre-treatment ALS was 5.3 and mean last examination ALS was 3.9. There was a significant improvement of the ALS between pretreatment and last examination ALS (P = 0.0009). Among 20 surgical procedures there were complications in three cases (15%): epidural hematoma in 1 case, cerebrospinal fluid leakage in 1 case and post-operative wound infection in 1 case
Conclusions: In our study,microsurgical interruption of timely diagnosed SDAVF showed good and stable results over time.

Published: April 2024

Background: The success of root canal therapy in endodontics is heavily dependent on identifying a second mesiobuccal canal (MB2) in permanent maxillary molars. A comprehensive understanding of internal anatomy, particularly the recognition of MB2, is crucial for the effective treatment of this commonly encountered tooth. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and occurrence of the second mesiobuccal canal in permanent maxillary first and second molars.
Methods: This cross-sectional study that was conducted at the Department of Conservative Dentistry & Endodontics, Military Dental Centre Dhaka, Bangladesh from January 2018 to December 2018.  The analysis involved a total of 200 maxillary first molars and 200 maxillary second molars. In the initial phase for both groups, teeth were examined with the naked eye followed by microscopic assessment. Data analysis was conducted with MS Office tools.
Results: In naked eye observation, the frequency of MB2 canals in the first molar teeth was found 64%, and in the second molar teeth it was found 56%. On the other hand, by microscopic assessment, the frequency of MB2 canals in the first molar teeth was found 96%, and in the second molar teeth, it was found 84%.
Conclusion:  The occurrence of the second mesiobuccal canal (MB2) in permanent maxillary first molars is more common than in the second molars. Microscopic assessment proves to be more effective than naked eye assessment for detecting the presence of MB2 in both maxillary first and second molars.

Sobre la necesidad de educar en patrimonio y conservación-restauración a los vecinos en el medio rural
Authors: Rodríguez Fernando Tudela
Published: April 2024

La salvaguarda del patrimonio cultural en las zonas rurales de la España Vaciada enfrenta un desafío particular. Si bien la conservación no es solo tarea de expertos, la despoblación y el abandono rural amenazan este rico legado. En este contexto, los vecinos se convierten en actores fundamentales. Son ellos quienes conviven a diario con el patrimonio, siendo los primeros en detectar daños y custodiando la memoria viva del lugar. Para dotarlos de las herramientas necesarias, la formación en patrimonio y conservación es crucial. Al capacitar a los vecinos, se les empodera para identificar, valorar y proteger su herencia cultural. Esta participación ciudadana no solo fortalece la identidad local, sino que también contribuye al desarrollo del municipio. Invertir en la formación de los vecinos es, en definitiva, invertir en el futuro del patrimonio cultural. Una comunidad informada y comprometida es la clave para garantizar la transmisión de este legado invaluable a las generaciones venideras.
