Authors: Wei Zhigang , Yang Xia , Wu Jing , Zhang Peng , Huang Guanghui , Ni Yang , Xue Guoliang , Ye Xin 
Published: February 2023

ABSTRACT
The standard treatment of stage I nonsmall cell lung cancer is lobectomy with systematic mediastinal lymph node evaluation. Unfortunately, up to 25% of patients with stage I nonsmall cell lung cancer are not candidates for surgery due to severe medical comorbidities (poor cardiopulmonary function). Image-guided thermal ablation is an alternative for those patients, includes radiofrequency ablation, microwave ablation (MWA), cryoablation, and laser ablation. Compared to them, MWA is a relatively new technique with some potential advantages, such as faster heating times, higher intralesional temperatures, larger ablation zones, less procedural pain, relative insensitivity to “heat sinks,” and less sensitivity to tissue types. However, some advantages of MWA mentioned above (such as higher intralesional temperatures, larger ablation zones) also have potential risks and problems, and an innovative and standardized guidance system is needed to avoid and solve these risks and problems. This article combs our team’s clinical experience over the past decade, summarizes a systematic and standardized guidance system, and names it SPACES (Selection, Procedure, Assessment, Complication, Evaluation, Systemic therapy). Both primary and metastatic pulmonary tumors can be efficiently treated with image-guided thermal ablation in selected candidates. The selection and use of ablation techniques should consider the size and location of the target tumor, the risk of complications, and the expertise and skills of the professionals, among which the size of the target tumor (<3 mm) is a major factor determining the success of ablation.

Published: February 2023

Background:
Perioperative blood loss and the need for blood transfusion following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has been a source of concern for many arthroplasty surgeons and patients over the years. Tranexamic acid (TXA) is increasingly being used by surgeons in limiting perioperative blood loss and the subsequent need for transfusion during TKA.

Aim:
This study aims to determine the efficacy of TXA in preventing perioperative blood loss, transfusion needs of patients that underwent TKA, complications, and its financial implications of its use in our institution.

Patients and Methods:
The study was a clinical comparative audit of perioperative blood loss and transfusion needs in primary TKA patients. The study population was divided into two groups of equal numbers (n = 40). Group A, who did not receive perioperative TXA, had TKA prior to the adoption of TXA in our institution, whereas group B, who received TXA, had TKA after TXA was adopted.

Results:
The mean postoperative hemoglobin was 9.49 g/dl for group A and 10.15 g/dl for group B (P = 0.021). The mean postoperative blood drainage was 888.25 ml for group A and 821.67 ml for group B (P = 0.397). The number of patients transfused in group A was 17 (42.5%) against 7 (17.5%) in group B. The mean postoperative transfusion volume was 270 ml and 101.25 ml for group A and B, respectively (P = 0.014). The mean total transfusion volume was 450 ml and 277 ml in group A and B, respectively (P = 0.063).

Conclusions:
The use of TXA in TKA was shown to be beneficial in our study as it resulted in a statistically significant reduction in the postoperative transfusion volumes and higher postoperative hemoglobin levels.
Effect of Gastric Helicobacter Pylori Colonization in the Development of Erosive Esophagitis in Patients with Hiatal Hernia
Authors: Yalaki S , Çağlar R , Pülat H 
Published: February 2023

Background/Aims:
There may be various factors that determine gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) as a result of hiatal hernia (HH) (such as the size of the hernia, age, other host and environmental factors) and the presence of protective factors to explain the absence of reflux disease should not be ignored. Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection can prevent the development of GERD or cause it. This study aimed to determine whether Hp colonized in the stomach and hernia affects the development of erosive esophagitis (EE) in patients with HH.

Materials and Methods:
In this case-controlled study, 111 patients with HH were eligible for the study. Study group with EE (n = 61, 55%) and control group without EE (n = 50, 45%) were formed. Groups were compared for gastric Hp and Hp in the hernia.

Results:
While the frequency of Hp in the antrum was 55.7% in the group with EE, it was 30% in the control group (p = 0.01, OR: 2.94 in 95% CI 1.34–6.46). The rates in terms of HP frequency in the corpus were 43.6% and 32.1%, respectively, (p = 0.45). Hp colonization in HH was detected in 18 cases (29.50%) and 14 cases (28%), respectively, (p = 0.86). In regression analysis, antral Hp was found to be effective in the development of EE (p = 0.01).

Conclusion:
As a result of this study, we think that antral Hp may have a causative role in the development of reflux esophagitis, but the presence of Hp in HH does not have an effective role in reflux esophagitis formation.

Published: February 2023

Background:
The military lifestyle has been reported to increase the risk of this population group to the development of oral cancer.

Aim:
This study aimed to determine the awareness and knowledge of oral cancer in a population of soldiers to acquire data for establishing an educational program for units of the Nigerian Army in oral cancer prevention and monitoring. The study was conducted in the dental center of 82 Division Military Hospital, Nigerian Army, Enugu, Nigeria. A cross-sectional survey was performed using a pre-tested self-administered questionnaire.

Materials and Methods:
Questions relating to oral cancer awareness, knowledge of causes, and relationship to certain habits, treatment options, and desirability of screening opportunities for oral cancer were asked. Soldiers attending the military hospital, dental center, were chosen randomly for the study.

Results:
Three hundred soldiers were surveyed. The mean age of those surveyed was 37.5 and had spent an average of 11–15 years in the Army. The majority of the soldiers (80.7%) have heard of cancer; the types most known were breast (75%), skin (30%), and lung cancer (28.3%). Of the 300 soldiers surveyed, 15.3% knew about oral cancer, with 41.3% of these able to identify cigarette smoking and (26%) alcohol consumption as possible risk factors associated with oral cancer. The majority believed that cancer was caused by some form of supernatural phenomenon.

Conclusion:
Oral cancer awareness is low among soldiers in the Nigerian Armed Forces, and strategies to increase awareness should be developed.

Published: January 2023

The chronology of the eruption of permanent teeth is a process that has variations and is manifested by various factors. Braska cited in Morón et al. It tells us that the chronology of the eruption of the permanent dentition is a process in which it is very difficult to establish a pattern or establish an adequate order since it depends on climate, age, weight, socioeconomic factor, among others1.
It is highly controversial to establish an exact chronology for the eruption of permanent teeth, since these depend on multiple factors such as age, sex, race, diet, geographic location, existing diseases, among others. In order to try to establish precise data on the chronology of the eruption of the permanent dentition, systems are used to determine the chronology, such as skeletal, dental, and dental ages1.
