Cygb is an O2 carrier protein expressed by fibroblasts. In fibrosis, hypoxia occurs as characterized by stabilization of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α), which later form the HIF-1, a transcription factor for the expression of adaptation proteins (including Cygb). The purpose of this study was to obtain information about Cygb role in fibrosis hypoxia using keloid tissue as a model. This was an observational descriptive study using keloid tissue samples, and the preputium as control. Measurement of Cygb and HIF-1α mRNA expression by real-time RT–PCR.

During the last years there has been a growing interest to care quality in developed countries and certain developing countries as well since patients have become active partners in medical care nowadays. The purpose of this work is to assess the satisfaction of the hospitalized patients at eleven (11) MCO departments of the University Hospital Center of ORAN (UHC). Materials and Methods: We have carried out a prospective study during 15 days of two samples (groups) of eleven (11) hospital depts. Picked at random during the periods of October-November 2017 and December-January 2018.

Sheehan's syndrome (SS) or postpartum hypopituitarism is a rare condition due to the necrosis of the pituitary gland. More often, this is caused by acute hypotension or hypovolemia related to excessive haemorrhage with or after delivery. The following article sheds light on the evolution of pituitary changes and also tackles the differential diagnosis involving Sheehan syndrome by means of MR imaging in a female patient after caesarean delivery.

Background: In this era of digital innovation, mobile health (mHealth) has emerged as a novel concept in the health care industry. Mobile Health is defined as using mobile communications for health interventions and information, and involves the use of portable devices that are capable of creating, storing, retrieving, and transmitting data to improve the safety, quality of care, and health of end users. However, the efficacy of these apps in improving healthcare delivery to Muslim pilgrims arriving in Saudi Arabia each year is yet to be determined.

Despite having advances in treatment, prognosis for patients with oral cancer remains poor. Early diagnosis and treatment remains key to improved patient survival. Traditional methods of screening oral malignancies involve a conventional oral examination with digital palpation. A number of optical aids have been developed to assist the clinician to detect abnormalities and in early diagnosis of oral cancer.

The Water Institute at University of North California in 2015 provided its data in terms of Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) Performance Index and stated that India ranked at the 95th position which is worst than many developing countries. It is surprising to note that 18.6% of urban households don’t have proper sanitation and even the existing ones are not used properly. Inadequate sanitation facilities and improper disposal of human excreta leads poor personal hygiene. Thus, being educated it is our responsibility to address the concept of Sustainable Sanitation.

Background: The JAK2 V617F mutation has been noted in a majority of cases of polycythemia Vera, essential thrombocythemia, and primary myelofibrosis patients but occurs less frequently in myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) about 5% of the cases; In Morocco, the Incidence of MDS will increase significantly in our country, MDS will be the disease of national public health. The aim of the current study was to determine prevalence of JAK2V617F mutation in Moroccan patients with MDS, and to compare characteristics of JAK2 mutation group to JAK2 wild type group.

Aim of the Study: To compare the effect of Wobble board training versus Swiss ball training on Proprioception in post knee injured football players. Back Ground of the Study: Football is one of the most popular sports in the world. The location and nature of injury are common in knee and ankle joint .Potential relationship of proprioception is considered with knee injury, laxity, activity level, function and age of individual. Absence of proprioception cannot maintain the body in steady posture. Methodology: The study was an Experimental and Comparative study.

Objective: The aim of the study is to assess the knowledge, attitude and practice among the family members of dentists residing in Madurai city regarding their oral health.

Torque is the third key of the occlusion, described by Andrews in the year 1976 as the inclination of the dental crown antero-posteriorly in the anterior teeth and traversal in the posterior teeth. It is the force that gives the operator control over them movements of roots of teeth. It is a very important feature to be included. It is moment based on sheer stress that causes rotation and in orthodontics it is the bucco-palatal crown/root inclination of a tooth.
