Can influenza viruses be inactivated by a "nose-mouth-nose" breathing technique?

Seven years ago, I presented an oral communication “Nasal breathing technique in nasal airway obstruction. Viral infections in upper respiratory tract”, in the 20th World Congress of the International Federation of Oto-Rhino-Laryngologycal Societes, IFOS, Seoul, 2013. This is a technique based on physiological concepts of breathing, to avoid the use of nasal decongestants in a cold or flu. We have to breathe the air we exhale. It is air with a high concentration of CO2, but it is not toxic.

How do we know about wrist arthrodesis?

Wrist arthrodesis, also known as wrist fusion, is a procedure in which the wrist joint is immobilized by fusing the radius to the carpal bones. It is a procedure used for pain relief purposes in conditions such as advanced wrist arthritis, following wrist fractures, or severe ligament injuries. This procedure is performed when all other treatment options have failed to control the patient's symptoms.

Evaluation of intra-operative ultrasound in assessing clear margin in breast conservative surgery

Aim: Breast conservative surgery (BCS) and oncoplastic procedures are becoming more and more popular, providing better aesthetic outcome but one of the main draw-back of these procedures is involvement of the margin and return to theatre, causing undesired economic and cosmetic outcome in addition to psychological burden on the patients. Frozen section can decrease incidence of involved margin however, it is not always available in addition to increasing the cost. Using intra-operative ultrasound (IOUS) is a proposed solution to overcome this dilemma.

Primary kaposi’s disease of penis in an hiv negative patient: rare localization!

Kaposi’s disease is the most common vascular neoplasm, often involving skin of the feet and legs, and to a lesser extent, that of the hands, arms, and trunk. Kaposi’s disease limited to penis is extremely rare in HIV seronegative individuals. We will introduce a 73 years old male patient, with syphilis seropositivity, who suffered from itchy penile papules. The lab tests had revealed a negative serology of HIV. Histological findings were compatible with Kaposi’s disease. Primary Kaposi’s disease of penis is rare but could incriminates other factors.

The importance of pharmaceutical care in veterinary medicine

The present work establishes areas of action of pharmacist in medicine, as a possibility to optimize the care of pets and their guardians, allowing to satisfy the need for adequate, effective and safe treatment of the development of actions for this public. The demand for this type of service is increasing, and the humanization of animals and their importance in social life points to the need to specialize the services provided, leading to animal and human welfare.

Mitral annulus calcification and successful mitral valve repair using the “double-teflon” technique

Mitral valve surgery in the presence of mitral annulus calcification presents as a technical challenge and the mitral valve repair is even more challenging. Consequently, a modified surgical strategy with limited or even without annular decalcification may be chosen. We report two successful mitral valve repair in a severe mitral valve regurgitation associated to annular calcification using the “Double-Teflon” Technique, a mitral valve repair without anuloplasty prosthetic rings.

Parents motivation in developmental stimulation with smooth motor development as a goals on childern

Children's fine motor intelligence varies. In terms of strength and accuracy. This difference is also affected by childbirth, and the stimulation they gets. The preliminary study conducted at RA Nurul Huda Ketambul Village, Palang Subdistrict, February 2017 to 20 children who conducted child development screening using KPSP, got 12 children with the corresponding development status and 8 children with dubious development status. Where 6 children were late in the aspect of subtle movements, 2 children experienced delays in aspects of socialization and independence.

Neuroendocrine carcinoma of the cervix: about 2 cases and review of the literature

Neuroendocrine small cell carcinoma of the cervix is a malignant and rare tumor representing less than 3% of all cervical tumors. The diagnostic and therapeutic management of these tumors is difficult and is essentially modeled on that one of pulmonary neuroendocrine tumors. Like the latter and despite multimodal treatment, their prognosis remains unfavorable. We report 2 new cases of small cell cervical neuroendocrine carcinoma and through the giving facts of the literature we will focus on the different aspects of this rare entity.

Effectiveness of hot water application and therapeutic exercise in reducing the level of osteoarthritis and joint pain among elderly in selected old age homes Puducherry

Background: Osteoarthritis will be the most common joint disease in the near future and is projected to be rank second for women and fourth for men in terms of years lived with disability. WHO (2011) reports that osteoarthritis affects 9.6% of men and 18% of women worldwide. Aim: This study was designed to compare the effectiveness of hot water application and therapeutic exercise in reducing the level of osteoarthritis and joint pain among elderly. Subjects and methods: Quasi- experimental non equivalent two group pre-test and post-test design was adopted for this Study.

Rehabilitation of lower back pain with manual therapy and electrotherapy

Definition-Introduction: Lower back pain is one of the most frequent musculoskeletal problems in physiotherapeutic clinical practice, with the most frequent incidence in the middle and later ages. Spondylarthrosis lumbalis is part of the osteoarthritis group and involves injuries to the articular cartilage level and it is associated with destructive and constructive phenomena (osteophytes). Spondylarthrosis can be developed in different parts of the vertebrae columns. Lumbal spondylarthrosis affects the vertebrae at level L1-L5.
