Authors: Bhele Ashwini Vijay , Nirmale Vivek Kisanrao , Vedpathak Shashank Bhaskarrao , Belsare Swati Milind 
Published: January 2025

Abstract

Background:
Extensor hallucis longus (EHL) is the muscle of the anterior compartment of the leg. It has origin from the medial surface of the fibula; insertion is on the base of the distal phalanx of the big toe. Action of the muscle is an extension of the phalanges of the big toe and dorsiflexion of the foot. Tendon grafting is a very common procedure done in branches such as plastic surgery, maxillofacial surgery, and lacerated wounds of tendons where extra tendons will preserve the function of muscle. EHL is one of the preferred tendons for this purpose. The purpose of this study was to observe variations in the morphology of EHL.

Methodology:
The study was performed on a total 85 numbers of lower limbs available in the department of anatomy. The sample contains 46 female and 34 male cadavers. Attachments of the EHL were studied.

Results:
Three different types of insertion of EHL were observed: Type 1 - The most common type, insertion on the extensor hood on the dorsum of the distal phalanx, Type 2 - Two distal tendons while insertion, and Type 3 - Trilaminar insertion.

Conclusion:
The EHL is vital for tendon grafting in reconstruction surgeries. Its close anatomical relationship with the tibialis anterior and extensor digitorum longus highlights the need for precise morphological knowledge. Accessory tendons can be utilized without significant clinical deficits. Preoperative radiological assessment is crucial to confirm donor muscle morphology.

Published: January 2025

Abstract
Breast cancer is the most common malignancy prevalent among women worldwide. Metastasis to regional lymph nodes, bones, lungs, liver, and brain is quite common; however, there have been very few cases in literature reporting metastatic spread of breast carcinoma to the spleen. Here, we present one such case of a 62-year-old female with carcinoma of the left breast presenting with isolated distant metastasis to splenic parenchyma detected in pretreatment staging 18F-fludeoxyglucose-18 positron emission tomography/computed tomography scan.
Intermittent Testicular Torsion in Adolescents: Underdiagnosed Entity
Authors: Kumari Shweta , Sodhi Harmeet Kaur , Narayan Anand 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Intermittent scrotal pain in adolescents is often an underdiagnosed and missed entity because of the brief presentation and spontaneous resolution. Inadequate history and casual counseling can lead to acute torsion which is an important cause of surgical emergency in males leading to testicular ischemia. The adolescent boys with history of intermittent scrotal pain radiating from groin associated with nausea/vomiting should be examined clinically to rule out transverse lie of bilateral testis, Bell Clapper variant. An ultrasound scrotum should be done to rule out the oedema in cord structure and the bell clapper variant of testis. Presence of these signs should be kept as red flags to counsel parents for impending danger of testicular torsion. This advocates the need to offer prophylactic orchidopexy in such males to prevent testicular ischemia. The two comparative case presentations emphasize the importance of early pick of the clinical signs which can create the difference in management of these group of adolescent boys.
Medication Management Process: Some Key Challenges and the Way to Address Them
Authors: Fernandes Clive 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Medications are essential in the patient healing process within hospital settings; however, their management is fraught with challenges that can lead to adverse outcomes when not handled properly. This study delineates the key phases of medication management—selection and procurement, storage, prescribing, dispensing, administration, and monitoring—while emphasizing the complexities and potential pitfalls within each phase. Major obstacles identified include a lack of accountability across departments, improper storage conditions, and the prevalence of medication errors and near misses. Effective strategies to mitigate these risks are proposed, such as establishing a prescription audit team, minimizing verbal orders, and ensuring thorough reviews of patient medication charts by specialists. This research advocates for a multidisciplinary approach involving collaboration among healthcare professionals, particularly the pharmacy team, to enhance medication safety and efficacy. By fostering clear roles and responsibilities within the medication management process, healthcare organizations can significantly reduce the incidence of medication-related errors, ultimately improving patient care outcomes.

Published: January 2025

Abstract

Background:
Patients with hematological malignancies (HM) are at risk for complications, including neutropenia and admission to the intensive care unit (ICU). Granulocyte colony-stimulating factors (GCSF) can accelerate progenitor cells’ proliferation and differentiation, and thus compensate for neutropenia. In patients with HM admitted to ICUs in Saudi Arabia, the outcome and impact of GCSF use on neutropenia duration and severity is understudied.

Objective:
To evaluate the outcome and impact of GCSF on neutropenia in patients with HM admitted to the ICU of a tertiary care center in Saudi Arabia.

Methods:
This retrospective study included all consecutive patients diagnosed with an HM admitted to the ICU at King Saud University Medical City, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, from 2018 to 2022. Data on demographics, clinical information, ICU admission, and outcomes were collected.

Results:
A total of 44 patients with HM admitted to the ICU were included, of which 43.2% were females and the mean age was 50.2 ± 21.1 years. The mean length of ICU stay was 12.3 ± 14.7 (range: 0–62) days. ICU mortality was 61.4%, with no further mortality within 90 days after discharge. There was no significant association between survival and age (P = 0.205), gender (P = 0.7), and neutropenia (P = 0.566) or the use of GCSF prior to ICU admission (P = 0.882). There was a significant association between the category of ICU intervention and survival (P = 0.007).

Conclusion:
Patients with hematological malignancies who were admitted to an ICU in Saudi Arabia had a high mortality, regardless of neutropenia or the use of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor.

Authors: Almadani Ahmad H. , AlHadi Ahmad N. , Aldawood Buthainah D. , AlEissa Mariam M. , Alosaimi Fahad D. 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Bipolar disorders (BP) are prevalent neuropsychiatric illnesses affecting 1%–5% of the global population and about 3% of the Saudi population. They are associated with significant comorbidities and negative consequences. Despite being common mental health conditions in Saudi Arabia, stigma persists, with weak character, supernatural beliefs, and weak faith considered as causes. In addition, Saudi patients with BP have been reported to seek help from non-psychiatric healthcare professionals and faith healers. More data are required on BP from Saudi Arabia, including the genetic aspects and their treatment approaches. This narrative review paper explores the epidemiology and clinical manifestations, etiology and biological mechanisms, public knowledge and awareness of the illnesses, and treatment of BP in Saudi Arabia.

Authors: Sheha Asmaa Hamed Ebrahim , Elzefzaf Ebtesam A. , Shoukheba Malak Y. M. , Negm Walaa A. 
Published: January 2025

Abstract

Aim
This study was directed to evaluate the adjunctive effect of topical application of lycopene gel versus diacerein gel in the treatment of stage II grade B periodontitis.

Materials and methods
Forty sites with stage II grade B periodontitis were randomly divided into four groups, 10 sites each. Group I (control group) received scaling and root planning (SRP) only, group II received SRP + 2% lycopene gel, group III received SRP + 2% diacerein gel, group IV received SRP + a mixture of 2% lycopene and 2% diacerein gels. Plaque index, bleeding on probing, probing pocket depth, and clinical attachment level were recorded at 1 and 3 months. Subgingival plaque samples were collected and analyzed by using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay test to assess the gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) endocan level.

Results
All groups showed statistically significant improvement for all the clinical parameters at 1 and 3 months in comparison to the baseline values (P < 0.05). Intergroup comparison showed statistically significant improvement in plaque index at 1 month, probing pocket depth at 1 and 3 months, and in clinical attachment level at 3 months in favor of groups III and IV. Intergroup comparison of the GCF endocan level results showed a statistically significant improvement in GCF endocan level at 1 and 3 months for all groups in favor of groups III and IV.

Conclusion
All treatment modalities resulted in clinical improvement and biochemical benefits as adjunctive treatment to SRP. Since the diacerein and combination treatments showed relatively more favorable results, it is reasonable to assemble that they are potentiating materials for nonsurgical treatment of periodontal disease.

Published: January 2025

Abstract

Background
Untreated periodontal diseases in the molar region often result in loss of periodontal support. This results in the development of furcation defects. These defects have been associated with a deteriorating prognosis and without treatment may result in ultimate loss of the involved tooth. Furcation involvement therefore presents both diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.

Objective
The present study aimed to evaluate and compare the effects of 1% metformin gel (MF) plus concentrated growth factors (CGF) versus CGF alone in the treatment of Grade II mandibular furcation defects, clinically, and radiographically.

Patients and methods
Nine patients with 20 Grade II mandibular furcation defect sites were selected and divided into two groups. Group I included 10 defects was treated with 1% MF gel plus CGF while group II included 10 defects was treated with CGF alone. The clinical outcome parameters were probing pocket depth (PD), clinical attachment level (CAL), plaque index (PI), and bleeding on probing. The radiographic study included furcation defect depth, width, and height assessed by cone beam computed tomography. The clinical parameters were evaluated at baseline, 3 and 6 months while the radiographic parameters were evaluated at baseline and 6 months.

Results
Both the study groups showed statistically significant improvement in all clinical parameters (PI, bleeding on probing, PPD, CAL) after 3 and 6-month postsurgical compared to baseline. A significantly greater mean reduction of PD and CAL were observed in group I compared with group II at 3 and 6 months. The radiographic assessment showed significant improvement in bone gain in both groups after 6 months postsurgery. Comparing the two groups, significant reductions of depth, width, and height were exhibited in group I as compared with group II at 6 months post-treatment.

Conclusion
Based on the results of the current study, CGF with and without 1% MF can be successfully used for the treatment of mandibular furcation involvement, however, the addition of 1% MF gel to CGF was found to have potentiating effect as it resulted in more favorable clinical and radiographic outcomes.

Authors: El Araby Amera Hussein , Ghoraba Sahar F. , Saad Mohamed A. , Moawad Reda S. 
Published: January 2025

Abstract

Background
Oral Lichen Planus (OLP) is an inflammatory condition implicating T cell-mediated cytotoxicity, and involving oral mucosal surfaces. Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) an immunosuppressive drug reversibly inhibits the proliferation of activated T cells. i-PRF contains a high concentration of growth factors (GF), cytokines, and regenerative cells that induce tissue regeneration and wound healing.

Aim
To evaluate the efficacy of topical application of mucoadhesive MMF and intra-lesional injection of platelet rich fibrin (i-PRF) in the treatment of symptomatic OLP.

Patients and method
30 patients with symptomatic OLP were randomly assigned into three groups, each group included 10 patients. Group I: Were managed by bilateral intralesional injections with autologous i-PRF (Obtained by centrifugation of patient’s venous blood sample) weekly for 6 weeks. Group II: Were managed by topical MMF (Gel prepared by mycophenolate mofetil 2% obtained from BLD PHARM) gel twice daily for 6 weeks. Group III: Were managed by bilateral intralesional injections with triamcinolone acetonide (TA) (Epirelefan ampule ‘40 mg ⁄ 1 ml’. manufactured by: Egyptian international pharmaceutical industries co. (E.I.P.I.Co. factory2)) weekly for 6 weeks. Assessment was done clinically via calculating the changes in the lesion size, the severity of pain and burning sensation. Immunologically via measuring the amount of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) in saliva. Clinical parameters were recorded, at base line then every 2 weeks for 2 months, samples were collected and stored for immunologic test at baseline, 4 week and 8 week.

Results
For the three groups all clinical and immunological parameters showed significant improvement along the study periods. Regarding the intergroup comparison: At base line, no significant deference was observed between the three groups. The group comparison at the following measuring points of time showed that the clinical and immunological amelioration was in favor of the GI compared to the other two groups. Comparing GII and GIII the preference was in favor of GIII.

Conclusion
i-PRF can be considered as an effective and safe treatment remedies for OLP gives superior improvement clinically and immunologically compared to corticosteroids and MMF. Topical MMF gel can be used as treatment modality with reasonable efficacy.
Assessment of skeletal maturity in the cervical vertebrae in Egyptian sample with different vertical facial and body heights
Authors: Fouda Aya A. , Farag Mohamed A. , Al-Shennawy Mahmoud I. 
Published: January 2025

Abstract

Introduction
Chronological age has not proved to be the most reliable method to determine the biological maturity level of the individual, so other indicators are recommended including cervical vertebrae index which is an important indicator of skeletal maturity which has a direct relationship with body height.

Objective
This study aimed to evaluate the skeletal maturity in the cervical vertebrae in Egyptian early adolescent female sample with different vertical facial and body heights.

Materials and methods
The present study was performed on 150 cephalometric radiographs of Egyptian orthodontic female patients with their age ranged from 10 to 13 years. The radiographs were randomly collected from the files of patients seeking orthodontic treatment in the Orthodontic Department, Faculty of Dentistry, Tanta University. Medical history was taken from the patients and the patient body height as well.

Results
The results indicate that the vertical facial height was significant with patient length in a positive correlation while age was significant with patient length in direct relationship while the patient length was significant to both vertical facial height and age in direct relationship.

Conclusion
Short females are usually vertical growers with increased anterior vertical facial height, shorter time of adolescent growth spurt and earlier skeletal maturation, while tall patients are horizontal growers with decreased anterior vertical facial height, longer time of adolescent growth spurt and delayed skeletal maturation. As a result, the time to commence orthodontic treatment might be earlier in short female patients than tall patients.

Published: January 2025

Abstract

Objective
Malocclusion is one of the most prevalent dental anomalies; it may negatively affect quality of life of affected children and worsen their social interaction. This study aims to assess the prevalence of child malocclusion in public and private schools in the Gharbia governorate in Egypt across various socioeconomic strata.

Patients and methods
The target group is primary school students aged 10–12 years old in Tanta city. Careful data about general and dental history was collected then intraoral examination was performed to detect the malocclusion in 10 private school students and 110 public school students. Then, data were collected and analyzed.

Results
Most high school students presented with different malocclusion situations, 61.5% having class-I malocclusion, 14.9% having class-II malocclusion and finally 23.6% having class-III malocclusion. The proportion of children with anterior cross-bite single and multiple in public schools is 9.3 and 5.33%, respectively, whereas the corresponding rate for kids in private schools is 9.2 and 5.2%. One percent of public school elementary children and 4% are involved in thumb suckling habit, while for mouth breathing habit for public school children, the percentage was 13.3 and 15.6% for private school children. 12.4% of pupils in private schools and 6.7% of children in public schools, respectively, had experienced trauma with a statistically significant difference.

Conclusion
Malocclusion impacted the majority of the students that were tested, the most common type of malocclusion was class-I crowding in both public and private schools. Mouth breathing is the oral behavior that causes the most dental problems in students. Finally, it is advised to conduct additional research on all malocclusion items.
