The Prevalence and Associated Factors of Hepatitis B and C Virus in Hemodialysis Patients in Ibb Governorate, Yemen.

Introduction Hepatitis C virus (HCV) and hepatitis B virus (HBV) among patients receiving hemodialysis (HD) remain a major public health problem. However, information is limited about these infections among HD patients in Yemen. This study aimed to estimate the prevalence and associated risk factors of HBV and HCV infections among HD patients in the Ibb governorate, Yemen, and to identify the risk factors for infections in such patients.

Early Surgical Management of Displaced Orbital Roof Fractures: Prospective Observational Study.

Unlabelled: This study aimed to evaluate the clinical, radiological and functional outcome of early (within 24 h) surgical intervention of displaced orbital roof fractures. This is a prospective observational study for patients with displaced orbital roof fractures. Six patients underwent early surgical management within hours of admission.

Aesthetic Reconstruction of Onco-surgical Mandibular Defects Using Free Fibular Flap with and without CAD/CAM Customized Osteotomy Guide: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial.

Background: Reconstruction of mandibular defects following ablative surgery remains a challenge even for experienced surgeons. Virtual planning and guided surgery, including computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM), afford optimized ways by which to plan complex surgery. This study aimed to evaluate and compare aesthetic outcome and surgical efficiency of free fibular flap (FFF) with and without CAD/CAM customized osteotomy guide (COG) for reconstruction of onco-surgical mandibular defects.

The salutary action of melatonin and betaine, given singly or concomitantly, on cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity in mice.

Cisplatin (CP) is commonly used in the treatment of various solid tumors. Its use, however, is hampered by nephrotoxicity. In this study, we compared the effect of betaine and melatonin given singly, with that of a combination of these two agents on CP-induced nephrotoxicity in mice.

Effectiveness of occlusal splint therapy in the management of temporomandibular disorders: network meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

A network meta-analysis (NMA) of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) was performed to assess the effectiveness of various types of occlusal splint in the management of temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) and to rank them according to their effectiveness. An electronic search was undertaken to identify RCTs published until August 2019. Predictor variables were control, non-occluding splint, hard stabilization splint (HSS), soft stabilization splint (SSS), prefabricated splint, mini-anterior splint, anterior repositioning splint (ARS), and counselling therapy (CT) with or without HSS.
