Published: September 2022

Background and Aim:
The COVID pandemic necessitated the use of masks to reduce the propagation of coronavirus by airborne transmission. This research was conducted in healthy volunteers to assess the changes in noninvasive measurable physiological variables over 45 min at rest.

Methods:
This was a prospective randomized controlled crossover trial. Twenty-one healthy volunteers were monitored for pulse rate (PR), peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2), systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), respiratory rate (RR), inspired carbon dioxide and expired carbon dioxide (ECO2), inspired (FiO2) and expired oxygen (FeO2), every 15 min for 45 minute (min) with N95 respirator, N95 respirator with surgical mask (SM), N95 with SM and visor (V), SM with N95, and N95 respirator with visor.

Results:
Repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) of PR, RR, SpO2, SBP, and DBP over time within the group and intragroup was calculated and found statistically insignificant. P value for comparison of mean value within the group was calculated by paired t-test with Bonferroni correction. There was a significant rise in ECO2 in the N95 group over time, and repeated measures ANOVA showed P = 0.04 at 30 min between the N95 + V group and the N95 + SM + V group. Inspired CO2 was statistically significant over time in the N95 + SM + V with P = 0.02.

Conclusion:
N95 alone or in combination with a SM and visor does not cause any clinically significant measurable physiological derangements. The inspired CO2 may be implicated in the symptoms manifested by individuals.
Incidence of cerebral microembolization in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation using transcranial Doppler
Authors: El-Bahnasy Hamouda A.K.H. , Zaki Mohamed A. 
Published: September 2022

Background and aim
Atrial fibrillation (AF)-related stroke represented more than 79% of all strokes of cardiogenic origin. AF is the crucial factor of cardiogenic stroke. AF-related stroke is manifested with severe clinical manifestation, significant disability, high mortality, and easier relapse. The incidence of mortality is twice as high as non-AF-related stroke. The AF type is usually of nonvalvular origin. The current work is aiming to determine the incidence of cerebral microembolization in nonvalvular AF patients.

Patients and methods
The current study was a prospective study of two groups of individuals: control and nonvalvular asymptomatic AF cardiac condition, hypertension, age, diabetes, sex, and stroke (CHADS) score 2 or more. Patients were collected from the cardiology clinic and department (Al-Azhar University Hospital, New Damietta, Egypt). Patients were submitted to history taking, clinical assessment, echocardiography, and transcranial Doppler ultrasonography, and microembolic signal detection and count. Also, the transcranial Doppler was used to monitor both middle cerebral arteries.

Results
There was a statistically significant difference between the control and study groups in relation to the number of microembolic signals. Signals of microembolizations were detected in eight cases (all were in the study group). There was a positive correlation between embolic signals and patient age (r=0.424, P=0.020) and there was a significant association with female sex. In addition, there was a positive correlation between embolic signals and left-atrium dimension (r=0.502). Regarding correlation, there was a negative interaction between embolic signals and anticoagulation use (r=−0.413, P=0.023).

Conclusion
Asymptomatic embolic signals occur in patients with nonvalvular AF who are not being treated with anticoagulants at a significantly greater frequency than in age-matched controls.

Published: September 2022

Abstract
We report two cases of pseudo disc edema due to vitreopapillary traction. The first is 50-year- old female who had been evaluated for disc edema, with normal neurological examination and imaging study. On presentation we noted the presence of glial tissue at disc bilaterally and optical coherence tomography (OCT) revealed vitreopapillary traction (VPT). Second case is a 63-year old female who presented with history of unilateral blurring of vision in right eye. On examination she had cataract in right eye with blurring of bilateral disc margins. There was no colour vision or field defect and OCT was supportive of VPT.
Post-ROCM restrictive strabismus: A challenge for strabismus surgeon

Published: September 2022

Abstract
Restrictive strabismus is characterized by extraocular motility restriction, which is confirmed by performing forced duction test. It can be congenital because of various syndromes or acquired after thyroid eye disease, after long-standing strabismus, after sinus surgery, or after trauma. Recently, we have faced a devastating epidemic of rhino-orbito-cerebral mucormycosis (ROCM) during the second wave of COVID-19 pandemic, which was treated by both surgical (sinus surgery) and medical (antifungal agents) modalities. Diabetes mellitus and the inadvertent use of systemic steroid were the leading risk factors for ROCM outbreak. India being the diabetic capital of the world favored this condition. We are reporting a challenging case of ROCM with diabetes mellitus, who presented to us with troublesome diplopia with extraocular motility restriction. He had a history of right-sided ROCM treated by sinus surgery and systemic antifungal agents 1 year back, followed by a good residual vision and restrictive strabismus leading to the symptoms. A previous history of sinus surgery and post-ROCM scarring and narrow surgical field posed a great challenge for strabismus surgery. In spite of all odds, a good postoperative alignment was achieved by a single-stage strabismus surgery, and the patient was asymptomatic after 3 months of follow-up.

Published: September 2022

ABSTRACT.
Diarrhea is highly prevalent in Nigeria and accounts for 16% of deaths among Nigerian children. The WHO classifies water source into two categories: improved and unimproved. This study aimed to examine the association between type of water source and the prevalence of diarrhea among members of a nationally representative sample of Nigerian households while controlling for key sociodemographic and household factors. This study used cross-sectional data from 22,571 households participating in the 2018 Water, Sanitation and Hygiene-National Outcome Routine Mapping survey. Data collectors visited and interviewed household members across all 36 states in the country. Logistic regression was used to assess associations between water source type and the odds of a family member reporting diarrhea, after controlling for financial status, availability of soap/detergent for handwashing, availability of a refrigerator in the home, toilet type, and urban/rural status. After controlling for explanatory variables in the adjusted model, having an unimproved water source was associated with greater odds of diarrhea among a family member (odds ratio, 1.59; 95% CI, 1.44–1.77). Not having a refrigerator and not having soap/detergent for handwashing were also associated with greater odds of diarrhea. In summary, this study found an association between water-source type and diarrhea prevalence among Nigerian households. This study is in line with prior studies in Nigeria and elsewhere, and the results call for greater commitment and action by stakeholders to improve water sources and, ultimately, reduce the prevalence of diarrhea in Nigeria.

ABSTRACT.
The aim was to examine oral health among 5–6-year-old children whose mothers participated in a 6 months’ cluster-randomized education trial in rural Uganda starting when their children were 6–8 months old. The education focused on nutrition, oral hygiene, and child stimulation. In the current follow-up study, 357/511 (70%) children from the original trial were available for data collection (200 in the intervention and 157 in the control group). Molar caries was assessed on intraoral photographs. Children and/or caregivers answered a WHO health questionnaire for collection of oral data. Dental practices were compared between the intervention and control group using multilevel mixed effect logistic regression accounting for clustering. The children in the intervention group had less caries compared with the control group: 41% versus 60% (odds ratio [OR] 0.46; 95% confidence intervals [CI] 0.24–0.86, P = 0.02). The use of toothbrush to clean teeth was more frequent in the intervention than in the control group: 66% versus 38% (OR 3.39; 95% CI 1.54–7.45, P = 0.003), as was high teeth-cleaning frequency: 74% versus 62% (OR 1.72; 95% CI 1.09–2.69, P = 0.02). Self-reported problems such as toothache (10% versus 19%), difficulty biting (12% versus 24%) and chewing food (8.5% versus 18%) were significantly less frequent among children in the intervention compared with the control group. No significant differences were found in dietary habits. Our data shows that an educational intervention adjusted to a low-resource setting, provided in infancy, resulted in improved oral hygiene and reduced development of dental caries among children aged 5–6 years.
