Title : Comparative Study Between Surgical Treatment And Diltiazem 2% Gel Application In The Management Of Chronic Anal Fissure
Abstract : The surgical intervention on chronic anal fissure is still the first line of treatment for this disease. The importance of this research lies in finding a new treatment for one of the most common anal lesions, and to choose a safe and effective method in the treatment of chronic anal fissure, avoiding the risks of anesthesia and surgery. To compare the surgical treatment (Lateral Internal Sphincterotomy) and topical treatment (Diltiazem Gel 2%), in terms of the ability to heal, studying the degree of symptoms regression after the treatment (bleeding/pain), and studying the incidence of gas / fecal incontinence. A prospective pilot study, which included 60 patients divided into two groups equally, Group A (30 patients who underwent surgical treatment), Group B (30 patients who underwent topical drug treatment with Diltiazem 2% gel), and the study was conducted at Tishreen University Hospital in Latakia – Syria, in the period between 2019-2020. In group A, complete recovery occurred in 29 patients (96.6%), anal bleeding decreased in all patients (100%), pain feeling decreased in all patients (100%), and gas incontinence occurred only in 4 patients (13.3%). Fecal incontinence didn't occur. In group B, complete recovery occurred in 17 patients (56.6%), anal bleeding decreased in 17 patients (68%), pain feeling decreased in 17 patients (65.3%), and gas / fecal incontinence didn't occur at all. Lateral internal Sphincterotomy is still the first line of treatment in patients with a chronic anal fissure, but drug therapy with (Diltiazem 2% gel) can be applied to patients who refuse surgical treatment, or for those who have contraindications for surgical intervention.

Title : “Catch Them Early - Oral Cancer”: Oral Health Care Providers’ Knowledge and Practice in Qassim Region, Saudi Arabia
Abstract : The most widely recognized reason for morbidity and mortality globally is cancer. Early detection and regular follow up of high-risk patients can curb the mortality and morbidity rate. Dentists play a vital role in the early detection of oral cancer; therefore, assessing their knowledge and practice for early detection of oral cancer is crucial. A cross-sectional study was designed to assess the dentists’ knowledge and practice for the early detection of oral cancer. The study was conducted in the Qassim region among dental interns, general dental practitioners (GPs), specialists, and consultants in both private and public sectors. The questionnaire consisted of 14 closed-ended questions that contain socio-demographic characters of participants, information regarding the participants' knowledge, and practice related questions. Data collected and analysed in SPSS software v. 21 and descriptive analysis was done. A total of 159 participants in the study. Regarding the potential risks for oral cancer, 48.4% and 34.6% believed viruses and hereditary. Regarding the high-risk sites for oral cancer, 38.4% of the participants choose soft palate complex, lateral border of the tongue, and floor of the mouth as high-risk sites. The majority of the participants, i.e., 70.4% (n=112) did not use any adjunctive screening tools. 57.2% (n=91) feel they do not have sufficient knowledge concerning the early detection of oral cancer. The vast majority, i.e., 87.4% (n=139) agreed that they need more information and continuing education for the same. The survey findings suggest that there is an existing gap in the knowledge and the use of chairside diagnostic procedures for the early detection of oral cancer, one of the barriers is lack of training. Dentists’ comprehension must be reinforced and constantly updated by continuing education programs..

Title : Cupping Therapy and Low Back Pain: A Review Literature Based on Randomized Controlled Trial Studies
Abstract :

The human life expectancy has increased 8% globally. Consistently, the aging population has also grown significantly. The increase of aging population is followed by many health issues, including, musculoskeletal pain. Low back pain (LBP) has been the key role of causing disability among musculoskeletal problems. Currently, American College of Physicians (ACP) recommended that nonpharmacologic treatment should be the first option in treating LBP. There are many studies about the effectiveness of cupping therapy (CT) in management LBP. Therefore, this review aims to outline the evidence of CT in treating LBP. The general conclusion of this review is CT can be a promising therapy as nonpharmacologic management of LBP.

Title : Evaluation of the Quality of Life of Patients with Myocardial Infarction
Abstract : For an objective and comprehensive assessment of all indicators of the quality of life of patients, the questionnaire “MOS SF-36 - Health Status Survey” was used. A specific questionnaire “Quality of life after myocardial infarction” - Quality of Life after Myocardial Infarction (QLMI) was also used. The total number of patients included in the study was 120, of whom 75 were men and 45 women, 62.5% and 37.5%, respectively. All patients were divided into three groups. The first group included 40 practical healthy patients. The second group is also represented by 40 patients who had myocardial infarction without complications, and the 3rd group included 40 patients who had myocardial infarction and who had complications. Indicators of the physical component of QL in patients with myocardial infarction in the second and third groups were reduced by a factor of 2-3 compared with the control group (1) and were significantly different in all indicators, especially in 1– Physical functioning by 60–75%, 2 - by role functioning by 30–55%, 3 by the intensity of pain by 33–73%, and 4 by the general state of health by 32.5– 52.5%. Indicators of quality of life, psychological component in patients undergoing myocardial infarction without complication and with complications, were significantly lower compared to practically healthy people in the following sequence: by vital activity by 32.5-45%, by role functioning, due to emotional state by 23, 9-57.3%, mental health by 32-44%, and social functioning by 20.5-62.5%. The results of the study showed that the indicators of the physical and psychological component of QL in patients after myocardial infarction, with and without complications, were 2-3 times lower than in the control group (p <0.05; p <0.01; p <0.001), indicating the effect of myocardial infarction on QOL.

Title : Corticosteroids administration in the COVID-19 pandemic era: A Systematic Review
Abstract : Successful recovery of severe COVID-19 with cytokine storm with Plasma Convalescent Therapy or Extracorporeal blood purification, has been with or without methylprednisolone has been reported, but not in diabetes comorbid which in immunocompromised where cortisone is immunosuppressant. So cortisone for anti- inflammation drugs should be not recommended. This study builds the potential benefit and harm of corticosteroid in pandemic COVID-19. Systematic Review with Science Direct search engine using keywords of methylprednisolone and COVID-19 are used. Bayesian analysis and network support this study. Cytokine storm and anti- inflammation/ immunosuppressant and immunocompromised/ comorbid are used. Insulin Resistance Syndrome cases are included, and non is excluded. Pneumonia and DIC as the excess, ventilated patients are also included. Flowchart of 15 references supported the table, one table describe the references. Three Systematic Reviews, 4 case reports, 2 cohorts, 4 reviews, 2 observational with minimal 15,385 subjects. The use of corticosteroid as prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation at mild, medium, severe phases are recorded and analyzed. Cortisone is immunosuppressant stuff that should be used only in a hospitalized patient in critical severe cases in overwhelmed/ hyperinflammatory stage COVID-19 pts. but should be forbidden (not recommended is not enough) in comorbidities. Using cortisone in plant/OTC in this pandemic era should be socialized the danger in the public domain to combat the easy spread.
