Abstract: Facial trauma can be considered one of the most devastating aggressions due to the possibility of deformities, the emotional consequences and the economic impact of it causes on the health system. Nasal bone fracture is the most common type of facial. Radiographic plain x ray is a common procedure for imaging of suspected cases, CT scans is a valuable tool if the patient has extensive maxillofacial trauma. Acute management of nasal fractures is evaluated within 2 to3 hours, before significant oedema occurs or after 3 to 5 days, to allow oedema to resolve. In general, closed reduction before 14 days in adults, and within 10 days for children. Long standing traumatic nasal deformities require formal septorhinoplasty. STUDY DESIGN: Cross-sectional study, INCLUSION CRITERIA: Patients of all age groups above 1 year of age with nasal bone fractures EXCLUSION CRITERIA: 1) Patients unwilling to give consent, 2) Children under 1 year of age.

Abstract: Viral pathogen-induced illnesses frequently affect the oral cavity. Viruses isolated from the oral cavity may act as primary or secondary pathogens, direct causal agents, or adjuncts in the disease process. The mucosal processes and evolutionary stages of viruses vary, and many viruses have comparable clinical manifestations. The investigator must frequently consider the oral lesions in light of the overall clinical picture and rely on laboratory tests to make the correct diagnosis. Oral mucosal diseases have been linked to both DNA and RNA viral families. The laboratory diagnosis of a few common viral diseases of the oral cavity is discussed in this article..

Abstract:Cancer of the rectum is common worldwide; its treatment relies essentially on the surgery. It is a cumbersome process, burdened with per and postoperative complications. These complications, whose study is the objective of our work, are mainly represented by per and postoperative hemorrhages, trauma of the ureter or digestive organs (hail, colon), postoperative peritonitis and wall infections, and anastomotic complications such as fistulas and stenosis. The operative complications may also be functional: digestive disorders grouped under the "low anterior resection syndrome", urinary disorders dominated by urinary incontinence and disorders of bladder drainage, and sexual disorders manifesting in men by erectile and ejaculatory dysfunctions or even sexual impotence, and in women by dyspareunia and a drop in libido........

Abstract:Introduction: Retro-rectal tumours are a heterogeneous and diverse group of lesions that originate in the pre-sacral space. Their complex anatomy and difficult surgery make their management a real challenge. Materials and methods: Our work is a retrospective study, spread over a period of 20 years, of a series of eight cases referred for retro-rectal tumors to the visceral surgery department B at the Ibn Sina hospital in Rabat, . Our series consists of two epidermoid cysts, a leiomyosarcoma, a fibromatosis, a hemangiopericytoma, a schwannoma, a ganglioneuroma, and a cystic rectal duplication. The aims of our surgical strategy are to study the different diagnostic means......

Abstract: Introduction: Poor oral health in chronic kidney disease patients is an important contributory factor in atherosclerosis, protein energy wasting, systemic infection, and inflammation. In developing countries oral health care is neglected among chronic kidney disease patients. Therefore, the objective of this study is to establish the relationship between periodontitis and chronic kidney disease by measuring serum interleukin-6 and serum procalcitonin. Material and method: It was a prospective study that was conducted in department of medicine at MLN Medical College India from July 2021 to June 2022 in which 50 chronic kidney patient was included on the basis of inclusion and exclusion.......

Abstract:Fistula in ano is a track that connects the anal canal or rectum to the perianal skin. Fistula in ano is a benign treatable lesion which seen frequently with perianal and perirectal suppuration due to cryptoglandular infection. The anal crypt gland penetrates the internal anal sphincter to varying degrees and once obstructed, the suppuration follows the path of least resistance. This determines the location of the abscess (perianal, inter-sphincteric, or ischiorectal) and accordingly the type of fistula. The perianal fistulous disease has significant........

Abstract: Background: Antimicrobial Resistance and Hospital Acquired Infections are the modern hazards in the field of medicine. The most common of these infections is Catheter Associated Urinary Tract Infection (CAUTI), which amounts to almost 35%. CAUTI causes significant distress to patients, including risk of mortality, and increases healthcare costs. Bacteria causing CAUTIs show a high degree of antimicrobial resistance. Healthcare professionals must acquire knowledge of current local trend of causative organisms, and their resistance pattern, in any healthcare facility.

Abstract:Lipomas are often found in the inguinal canal during surgical repair of inguinal hernias 1. In the literature, these are known as "lipomas of the cord," "lipomas of the round ligament," "spermatic cord lipomas," and "inguinal cord lipomas" 1-4. Spermatic cord lipomas can either accompany a lateral inguinal hernia or occur without a synchronous hernia 1–3. They must be differentiated from the characteristic preperitoneal fatty tissue seen in a direct inguinal or femoral hernia 1.
Inguinal herniorrhaphy is the most common general surgical operation performed 5. The incidence of spermatic cord lipoma or fatty protrusion found in the groin area during inguinal hernia surgery varies widely (22.5–75%) 6–8. Isolated masses of....
