Authors: Said Mohamed H. 
Published: November 2024

Aim
The aim of this study was to assess the effect of femtosecond laser-assisted small incision lenticule extraction (Femto-SMILE) and phakic intraocular lens (PIOL) implantation on macular and optic nerve perfusion utilizing optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA).

Patients and methods
This is a retrospective cohort study that included 60 eyes of 60 patients having moderate to high myopia (−7.0 to −15.0 D). The patients were categorized per intervention received into: group 1 that included 26 eyes (26 patients) for whom PIOL implantation was performed and group 2 that included 34 eyes (34 patients) for whom Femto-SMILE procedure was performed. All interventions took place at the Ophthalmology Department in Alexandria Main University Hospital, Alexandria, Egypt. The study parameters (including OCTA) were assessed preoperatively, on the first day, and 2 weeks postoperatively. The OCTA parameters included macular vessel density, foveal avascular zone size, optic disc flux index, optic disc perfusion, peripapillary and macular choroidal area, macular luminal area, and macular choroidal vascularity.

Results
There were no statistically significant differences in the baseline characteristics between the two groups (P>0.05). The intraocular pressure (IOP) was markedly lower in the PIOL group than in the Femto-SMILE group on the first postoperative day (P=0.019). No other differences between the two groups were noted in terms of IOP, visual acuity, myopia, or astigmatism. There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups in macular and optic nerve perfusion, though both groups demonstrated a significant affection on the first postoperative day that was completely reversed by 2 weeks. The OCTA parameters were all comparable between the two groups both at day 1 and week 2. While certain OCTA parameters showed statistically significant differences at day 1 postoperatively, the 2-week OCTA measurements were comparable to the preoperative parameters.

Conclusion
Both Femto-SMILE and PIOL implantation refractive techniques demonstrated similar outcomes for macular and optic nerve perfusion. The PIOL group exhibited lower postoperative IOP on the first postoperative day.

ABSTRACT

Aim:
The application of three-dimensional (3D) printing in dentistry is becoming increasingly valuable from clinical dentistry to student training, teaching, and simulation training. Mastering 3D-printed models’ usage is essential for general dental practitioners (GDPs) as it allows them to choose and necessarily know what is offered, as well as how to implement it in everyday practices, thereby contributing to the betterment of the dental profession. The study aims to assess and quantify GDPs knowledge, understanding, and practices related to the use of 3D-printed tooth model for apical barrier placement technique.

Methodology:
A cross-sectional study was conducted in the form of self-explanatory questionnaire in the form of 18 questions that evaluated their knowledge and awareness regarding 3D printing. The sample size of 94 GDPs was asked to respond to questionnaire. After the workshop, GDPs were questioned regarding their satisfaction with the simulation of the apical barrier technique with a 3D model. Responses were structured by a five-point Likert scale (1, strongly disagree; 2, disagree; 3, neither agree nor disagree; 4, agree; and 5, strongly agree).

Results:
A total of 94 replies were obtained after the questionnaire was circulated. Awareness regarding the apical barrier placement technique in open apex cases was known by 61% of practitioners before the workshop. Most of the GDPs strongly agreed with the skill acquisition on a 3D open apex tooth model after the training workshop and it met their expectations.

Conclusions:
3D modeling of open apex cases with the application of apical barrier placement technique is useful to give a simulation experience to GDPs. However, with consideration of costs and long processing times, 3D printing may be used optimally for technique-sensitive cases.

Authors: Bhattacharyya Panchatapa , Ghorai Debayan , Pramanik Rajesh 
Published: November 2024

Abstract

Background:
Several invasive and non-invasive procedures are effective in post-stroke shoulder pain (PSP). In this study, we wanted to assess the role of early intervention by ultrasound-guided botulinum toxin type A injection in shoulder pain due to post-stroke subscapularis spasticity.

Methods:
This study was a prospective randomised open-label control trial. Patients suffering from PSP due to subscapularis spasticity were selected (n = 80). After computer-generated randomisation, they were allocated into two groups (Group 1: patients on exercise therapy only and Group 2: botulinum toxin injection in subscapularis along with exercise therapy) consisting of 40 patients in each group. The primary outcome measure was Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score of shoulder pain. The secondary outcome measures were Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI) and Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) for spasticity of subscapularis.

Results:
Statistically significant differences in improvement were found with superior result in Group 2 at 2 weeks for shoulder pain VAS (P = 0.025), SPADI (P = 0.047) and MAS (P = 0.038); at 6 weeks for shoulder pain VAS (P = 0.019), SPADI (P = 0.037) and MAS (P = 0.041); and at 12 weeks for shoulder pain VAS (P = 0.011), SPADI (P = 0.027) and MAS (P = 0.035). No adverse effect was observed in either of the group.

Conclusion:
In clinical practice, botulinum toxin injection is regarded as the first-choice treatment of focal spasticity in the upper limb, as it gives us the opportunity to target specifically selected muscles. Botulinum toxin injection along with exercise therapy is more effective in early intervention of PSP due to subscapularis spasticity to improve shoulder pain and function.
Palatal Perforation, a Morbid Clinical Entity in the Oral Cavity
Authors: Swain Santosh Kumar 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
The palate is a favorable site of the oral cavity for soft tissue lesions. Palatal perforation is an uncommon clinical condition. It may result from inherited or acquired factors. The acquired causes include infections, malignancy, and certain drug abuse. There are different factors such as diseases process or effects of certain drugs can affect the blood supply leading to tissue ischemia and lesions in the palate. Chronic necrosis of the epithelium lining the palate may destroy the bone to leave a bony sequester that eventually results in palatal perforation. The two most typical symptoms of an oronasal fistula are speech difficulties and nasal regurgitation. For histological study, palatal lesions should be biopsied. It is necessary to get the proper cultures and stains for fungus, bacteria, and mycobacteria. Depending on the underlying etiology, palatal perforations have different treatment options and prognoses. The treatment of palatal perforation and prognosis vary depending on the cause. This review focuses on details of palatal perforation including its etiopathology, classification, clinical features, and its current management.
Fecal Microbiota Transplantation: A Revolutionary Approach to Treating Gut-related Disorders
Authors: Suchitra M. R. 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is a novel medical approach that involves transferring stool from a healthy donor into another person’s gastrointestinal tract. Replacing the recipient’s microbiota with a healthy microbial community helps restore gut health and eliminate disease-causing pathogens. Although it is an ancient concept, this idea of FMT has gained much interest these days mainly because of successful treatment for recurrent antibiotic-resistant Clostridioides difficile infections (CDIs) with cure rates over 90%. FMT mechanism of action includes restoration of balance in gut microbiota by replenishing healthy bacteria, restoration of the barrier function of the gut, and modulation of immune responses. Other than CDI, clinical applications for FMT are extended to include inflammatory bowel disease as well as potentially irritable bowel syndrome, obesity, type 2 diabetes, and neurological disorders through the gut–brain axis. Interestingly enough, FMT has been shown to be feasible in clinical studies for symptom improvement for Parkinson’s disease and metabolic syndrome. From the perspective of challenges, it is clear that FMT also has its own set of difficulties. These include pathogen transmission through screened donors, standardization in preparation and storage procedures, and navigating complex regulatory landscapes. Synthetic microbiota and personalized treatments represent exciting entrances into the realm of microbiome therapy. Synthetic approaches guarantee safety and consistency due to well-controlled bacterial strains. Personalized treatments have the advantage of adaptation to the individual’s gut microbiome profile. FMT represents perhaps the most novel and promising of the therapeutic advances made across so many diseases, and it fully embodies the utmost possibilities that precision medicine can offer. Despite these practical challenges, even further research and technological advancements in microbiome science would eventually refine the FMT modality, enhance their efficacy, and generalize their applications beyond the mere gut.
