Plummer Vinson Syndrome: First Two Tunisian Pediatric Cases by Werdani A* in Open Access Journal of Biomedical Science (OAJBS)

Aims: In this study we present the outcomes for patients with the rotaglide mobile meniscal knee prosthesis. All patients reviewed had this prosthesis implanted as a primary total knee Arthroplasty in one local teaching hospital dept. The minimum follows up period was 2 years (range 2-8.2).
Method: Patients were assessed clinically by the junior author (CW) and results were standardised using the Hospital for Specialist Surgery (HSS) knee score. Complications were quantified from patient history and examination of the case notes.
Results: Two hundred and two knees were reviewed. The results were then consolidated into groups with a minimum follow up of 2,3,4 and 5 years. The average HSS score was consistent at 91 for all four groups. Complications were also consistent ranging between 10 and 11% in all groups. These are summarised in Table 1 below. The commonest complication was superficial wound infection (4.95%). There were also three deep infections (1.49%) and two revisions due to meniscal failure (0.99%).
Conclusion: These results suggest the rotaglide total knee Arthroplasty offers safe and effective treatment with constantly good clinical results at 2-5 years follow up. The complication rate was also consistent over this period with a low incidence of meniscal failure and deep infection. There was no difference in outcome in knees with or without patellar resurfacing. There have been no failures due to aseptic loosening in this group to date.

Facile Synthesis of Chitosan Nanoparticle with Different Features and Histopathological Ultrastructural Study on The Effect of Its Bio-complex with Bovine Serum Albumin in Mice Liver by Maged El-Kemary* in Open Access Journal of Biomedical Science (OAJBS)   We have synthesized chitosan nanoparticles (CS-NPs) with different characteristics using ionic gelation method. Results showed that the synthesized CS-NPs with different concentrations of trisodium polyphosphate (TPP) are irregular – spherical shaped with narrow size distribution and high stability. The microporous chitosan was also synthesized with new features characterized with different techniques as SEM, EDX, FTIR and BET. The synthesized microporous chitosan has a surface area and pore volume of 245.571m 2 /g and 0.155cm 3 /g respectively. Its microporous surface is functionalized with carboxyl and amine groups. Histopathological and ultrastructural studies of mice liver were performed using optical and scanning electron m...

Review on Analysis of Breast Tumor with Methods of Treatment: OAJBS Publishers

Review on Analysis of Breast Tumor with Methods of Treatment by Nagham Mahmood Aljamali* in Open Access Journal of Biomedical Science (OAJBS) Breast malignance is the greatest public in ladies, with a high incidence in North America and Eastern Europe, medium in Southern Europe and the Middle East and low in the Far East. Breast malignance is the second most common malignance in the world after lung malignance, and since it happens a lot, the doctors asked the women to examine themselves by themselves, in order to discover the signs of the disease early before it spreads. It is possible that this disease can be treated after being diagnosed by a specialized doctor and determining the type of tumor in the breast, and the surgeon removes the breast completely and starts chemotherapy about 6 doses, then radiotherapy, how many sessions will be determined by the doctor, and then hormonal therapy, a medicine called Tamoxafin or any medicine determined by the doctor, and it is possible. This ...
