IntroductionPancreatic necrosis is one of the most severe acute abdominal conditions, accounting for 15%–20% of all patients with acute pancreatitis and characterized by significant rates of postoperative complications and mortality. Patients with pancreatic necrosis, in which pathological changes are localized in the proximal pancreas and retroperitoneal space, deserve special attention. This form of the disease includes patients with disconnected main pancreatic duct (MPD) syndrome who have a difficult prognosis.AimThe aim of the study was an improvement of treatment results in patients with necrotizing pancreatitis and signs of the dissociation of the pancreas duct system using the endoscopic transpapillary stent placement method.Material and methodsThis study was a retrospective cohort study. There were 32 patients with acute necrotizing pancreatitis who were managed using the endoscopic transpapillary stent placement method between 2019 and 2021. Disconnected MPD syndrome was diagnosed in all 32 patients. In total, 26 patients were admitted to hospital in the first 72 h, while 6 patients were admitted after 72 h. We diagnosed the necrotizing process located in the proximal and central areas of the pancreas and peripancreatic space in all these patients (“model III”).ResultsPositive results related to transpapillary stent placement were noted in 24 (75%) patients (first cohort). A total of 20 patients from this group were admitted to hospital in the first 48 h, and 4 patients were admitted later than 72 h from the onset of disease. Moreover, 8 patients (25%; second cohort) failed to succeed in transpapillary stent placement. Complications in the first cohort occurred in 3 (12.5%) patients: dislocation of the stent into the duodenum occurred in 1 patient, and bleeding after papillosphincterotomy took place in 2 patients. Meanwhile, infected necrotized pancreatitis developed in 5 patients, and 1 patient (5%) died. Complications among the second cohort occurred in 2 (25%) patients: erosive bleeding (after debridement). Infected necrotized pancreatitis developed in 4 patients, and 2 patients (25%) died.ConclusionsEndoscopic transpapillary stent placement is an effective minimally invasive approach in the management of patients with necrotizing pancreatitis.

Relevance.The prevalence of dental injuries in children reaches 52.3%, based on age. Currently, the number of traumas of anterior maxillary teeth tends to increase. The search and application of the most optimal treatment options for dental injuries in an aesthetic area in children remains relevant.Description of the clinical case.The article presents the treatment results of an 8-year-old boy diagnosed with S02.52 according to ICD-10: fracture of the crown of tooth 2.1 within the enamel, dentin layers with pulp involvement. Vital amputation of the crown pulp with a direct pulp capping with "Rutdent", an MTA-based product, was chosen as the tactic of dental care. A tooth fragment was attached with a composite material (using an adhesive protocol) for aesthetic rehabilitation. The function and aesthetics of the tooth were restored. The result was stable six months after the treatment.Conclusion.The popularization of various sports events can lead to an increase in the incidence of dental traumas to anterior teeth in children. A pediatric dentist should be able to apply modern methods of diagnosing acute dental trauma to make the correct diagnosis and choose the optimal treatment method. The opportunities of modern pediatric dentistry allow the restoration of all dental functions lost during trauma: anatomical, aesthetic and physiological.

Published: December 2023

Aim: To provide normal values for the lumbar spinal canal, lumbar vertebral body and dural sac dimensions and canal body ratio by MRI for a Jordanian population sample.
Material and methods: Three well trained observers reviewed 218 lumbar MRI scans performed between 2019–2021 (1090 lumbar levels) and obtained from the central computerized medical archive of three main governmental hospitals in north, central and south Jordan. All MRIs with alignment abnormalities (scoliosis and kyphosis), canal compression, vertebral disease (including fractures) or technical artifacts were excluded. The following were measured from L1 to L5 levels: the midsagittal diameters of the spinal canal and vertebral body, axial anteroposterior (AP), and transverse diameter of the vertebral body, dural canal and dural canal area. Data on sex and age were also documented.
Results: The studied MRI scans included 113 males (51.8%) and 105 females (48.2%). Age ranged between 23–86 years old (mean 52.23 ± 13.125). The mid sagittal mid vertebral AP diameter of the lumbar spine range was 2.8–3.1 cm. The mid sagittal spinal canal diameter range was 1.3–1.5 cm. Canal body ratio was 3.3–3.6. The AP, transverse dural sac diameter ranges were 1.2–1.4 cm and 1.5–1.9 cm, respectively. Finally, the dural sac area ranged from 331–362 mm2.
Conclusion: The dimensions of the lumbar spinal canal, vertebral bodies, and vertebral canal ratio at all levels were documented for a Jordanian population sample. Dimensions varied according to sex and when compared with other ethnic groups (Asian and African). The findings suggest that canal stenosis criteria should take these differences into consideration.

Abstract
Background: Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a preventable cause of childhood blindness. This study aims to measure knowledge, awareness and attitudes of Jordanian pediatricians towards ROP screening and treatment protocols, and to identify any barriers concerning referrals to specialized care.
Methods: This is a cross-sectional non-interventional descriptive study. A self-administered semi- structured electronic questionnaire was designed to assess the knowledge, attitude and practice patterns of responders and was disseminated via social media and direct contact with pediatricians in governmental and private hospitals from all over the country and collected between June and November of 2022. The questionnaire included questions regarding demographics, level of education, practice details and knowledge regarding ROP.
Results: A total of 85 responders from all levels completed the questionnaire. Most of the responders (78 (91.8%)) identified the main risk factors of ROP as low birth weight and gestational age and maintained that timely screening should be performed by an ophthalmologist. Fifty-nine pediatricians (69.4%) were sure that ROP is preventable and 62 (72.9%) identified both laser and anti- vascular endothelial growth factor injections as possible modalities of treatment. Thirty participants (35.3%) faced real limitations reaching ophthalmologists for a reliable ROP consultation.
Conclusions: This study demonstrated a high level of awareness of ROP among Jordanian pediatricians of all levels, although some gaps pertaining to the accurate timing of screening still exist. There are identifiable limitations facing Jordanian pediatricians to reach a reliable ophthalmic service to screen and manage referred cases. A unified nation-wide ROP screening protocol with clear access to standardized ophthalmic care is necessary to reduce the challenges facing the screening and management process and by extension, the burden of this preventable disease.

Protocol to the Convention on the Prohibition of Bacteriological (Biological) Weapons – History, Main Provisions, Significance and Reasons for Not Signing
Authors: Petrov S. V. , Supotnitskiy M. V. 
Published: December 2023

The Convention on the Prohibition of the Development, Production and Stockpiling of Bacteriological (Biological) and Toxin Weapons and on Their Destruction (BTWC) does not have a legally binding verification regime. An attempt by the Ad Hoc Group of Experts, created by the UN Committee on Disarmament, to strengthen the BTWC by developing a legally binding document – the Protocol, was blocked by the United States in July 2001. The purpose of this work is to study the history, main provisions, significance and reasons for not signing the Protocol to the BTWC. The attention is paid to the events in biological weapons control, which have led a number of countries to the understanding of the necessity to develop the Protocol. The background of the US actions to block this document is the subject of special consideration. During the Second Review Conference on the Implementation of the Convention (8–25 September 1986, Geneva) the USSR, the German Democratic Republic and the Hungarian People's Republic proposed to develop and adopt the Protocol as an addition to the BTWC. This document was supposed to establish general provisions, definitions of terms, lists of agents and toxins, lists of equipment that was present or used at production facilities, threshold quantities of biological agents designed to assess means and methods of protection. The proposed verification mechanism was based on three «pillars»: initial declarations with the basic information about the capabilities of each State Party; inspections to assess the reliability of the declarations; investigations to verify and confirm or not confirm the alleged non-compliance with the Convention. The verification regime was to be under the control of an international organization – the Organization for the Prohibition of Bacteriological (Biological) and Toxin Weapons. However, the US military and pharmaceutical companies opposed the idea of international inspections. The then US Undersecretary of State for Arms Control and International Security, John Robert Bolton II, played a special role in blocking the Protocol. During the Fifth Review Conference in December 2001, he demanded the termination of the Ad Hoc Group of Experts mandate for negotiations under the pretext that any international agreement would constrain US actions. The current situation with biological weapons control should not be left to chance. Measures to strengthen the BTWC should be developed, taking into account the new fundamental changes in dual-use biotechnology. It should be borne in mind, that the Protocol, developed in the 1990s, is outdated nowadays.

Published: December 2023

Background: Traditional cinnamon bark harvesting practices often discard valuable leaves, neglecting their potential benefits such as essential oil with antibacterial properties. Previous studies have highlighted the antibacterial effects of Cinnamomum burmannii leaves from Indonesia, including their potential as antibacterial agents. The study aimed to evaluate the antibacterial effect of Cinnamomum burmanii leaf essential oil in toothpaste formulation against Streptococcus mutans
Method: This quasi-experimental study compared the antibacterial effectiveness of toothpaste containing essential oil with Streptococcus mutans cultures in Brain-heart Infusion Broth (BHIB) overnight. Six wells were created on agar plates using sterile 6 mm punches. Each well was filled with the following: Positive control (Chlorhexidine), pure essential oil, 100% essential oil toothpaste, 75% diluted essential oil toothpaste, 50% diluted essential oil toothpaste, and negative control (aquadest). The diameter of inhibition zones was measured after incubating all plates at 36°C for 24 hours.
Result: The inhibition zone diameter was measured to evaluate the effectiveness of essential oil toothpaste against dental plaque bacteria. Non-parametric Kruskal-Wallis statistical analysis revealed no significant difference in the diameter produced between Cinnamomum zeylanicum leaf essential oil and the positive control minosep (p=0.10). However, after formulation into toothpaste, a significant decrease in effectiveness was observed (p=0.015).
Conclusion: It can be concluded that cinnamon leaf essential oil is effective in inhibiting the growth of Streptococcus mutans bacteria. However, when formulated into toothpaste, its effectiveness decreases with lower concentrations of the toothpaste dilution.
