Title : Intramuscular streptomycin induced oscillopsia
Abstract : Oscillopsia is an illusion of an unstable vision causing the perception of to-and-fro movement of the environment. It is most commonly idiopathic. Aminoglycosides administration such as streptomycin generating toxic metabolites can cause oscillopsia. We report a case of a 36 years old Malay female with positive Mycobacterium tuberculosis polymerase chain reaction [PCR] who developed oscillopsia during the streptomycin administration. She described as feeling unsteadiness when walking without other otological symptoms. All the investigation results were normal. Conservative management were administered whereby stopping the streptomycin and vestibular rehabilitation was given. We aim to highlight the approach a managing oscillopsia caused by streptomycin in which a rare cause of oscillopsia.

Title : Medical doctors’ attitude toward generic substitution in prescribing practice: A survey from Yogyakarta
Abstract : Generic medicines usage is obligated to be applied in all government healthcare facilities in Indonesia as it was re-enforced in the regulation by the Ministry of Health. The objective of this study was to assess beliefs and perceptions towards generic medicines among doctors in Yogyakarta. A cross sectional study was conducted using a validated custom questionnaire developed from previous similar studies. Medical doctors working in local hospitals and clinics were invited to involve in this study. All data were presented descriptively and analyzed by performing Chi-square test with p-values of <0.05 were considered to point out statistical significance. A total of 210 medical doctors succesfully participated in this study. Medical doctors believed that the price of generics medicines is lower than their brand name drugs (3.78 ± 0.97). They perceived that generic substitution will reduce illegal promotion practices from drug manufacturer companies (3.56 ± 0.78). Automatic substitution of original drugs by generics (i.e. by pharmacists) as a policy measure were supported by the participated doctors (3.45 ± 0.67). Medical doctors working in public hospital significantly showed a better score compared to another working site groups (p <0.001). Those with shorter working experience were more likely to have positive perception towards generics drugs (p <0.001). General medical doctors and those who work in rural area also demonstrated significantly better score than their specialist colleagues and those who work in urban area (p<0.001 for both variables). Generally, medical doctors’ perceptions towards generic medicines were positive. The results in this study indicate that several actions in order to maintain and develop more positive perceptions may be necessary. Further national initiative regulation and innovative interventions (i.e incentive plans for health care professionals, monitoring and evaluation plan for generics) are needed in order to support the rational use of generic medicines.

Title : The Relationship between Gingival Disease and Dental Caries in Children aged 9 and 12 years in Wasit Governorate – Iraq.
Abstract : ''Gingival disease'' and ''dental caries'' consider as distinct diseases around them professional and research displines develop, yet each disease is related with the same oral microbiome compromising mostly commensal microorganisms, similar preventive approach is effective with both diseases. The goal of present research was to find the association between ''gum disease'' and ''dental caries'' in children aged 9 and 12 years. The sample examined in this study consisted of 200 children attended pediatric and preventive teaching clinic at Wasit university. All children subjected to clinical examination to assess the DMFT index according to ''WHO 1997''. Also information obtained about gingival and oral hygiene status by assessment of gingival and plaque index scores according to Silliness and Leo 1963. Only six selected teeth are scored according to'' Ramfjord ''. Data collection started from 2/ January to 20 May 2019. Data analyzed using a statistical package for Spss ''version 24'' for Windows and Excel 2007. The mean value of gingival and plaque indices scores was higher in children aged 9 years than 12 years. Also The mean value of gingival index scores in control, case 1 and case 2 groups was (0.29 ± 0.007), (0.52 ± 0.025) and (0.86 ± 0.024) respectively. Analysis of variance showed highly significant difference between the mean value of plaque index scores in control and in case groups (1, 2). There was strong relation between the severity of gingival disease and the amount of plaque accumulation with dental caries, young children in mix dentition time need proper supervised tooth brushing.
