Abstract : COVID-19 drastically affected routine healthcare services worldwide. Patients with chronic diseases were at higher risk of missed care due to the pandemic. We aimed to assess burden of missed appointments of routine care among chronic disease patients in Qassim Saudi Arabia. A facility-based cross-sectional study was conducted among patients with chronic diseases visiting randomly selected primary healthcare centers in Buraidah, Saudi Arabia. Data was collected using a structured questionnaire in Arabic which collected information regarding the socio-demographic and care-seeking during the pandemic. Data were analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 21.0. A total of 347 participants were included in the study with a mean age of 58 (±11.4) years. About a quarter, 29.7% reported experiencing COVID-19 symptoms. About 38% had Diabetes Mellitus, 23.6% had hypertension (HTN) and 37.8% had both. The proportion of patients who missed an appointment in the last six months preceding the survey was 44.7%. Common reasons for missing the appointment were; the facility was working but they were not able to get the usual care fear of getting COVID-19 infection, and because of the lockdown. A large proportion of patients with diabetes mellitus and hypertension had their appointment missed during the COVID-19 pandemic. The common reasons were related to the pandemic and its response. This calls for healthcare leaders and managers to plan emergency responses such as for pandemics in such a way as to avoid interruption of care for patients with the need for continued care.

Journal ID : AMJ-26-04-2023-11443; Author : Shurooq Hussein Jaber Al Jebur,
Abstract : Cancer is one of the polygenic diseases and the main idea includes characterizing the main gene within different genes, which they are implicated in the cancer pathogenesis. In this direction, MPP8 has a substantial function in gene transcription during cell division and implicated in numerous cellular functions, and has the potential to cause cancer. Thus, the main aim of current project is to estimate MPP8 gene expression in various kinds of cancer as well as to highlight which type of cancer expressed high level of target gene and evaluate its role in development this type of cancer in the following studies. MPP8 expression assessed using qPCR. MPP8 gene in the blood samples of cancer cases are significantly expressed (2.619±0.2848) compared with its expression in control group (1.446±0.2163) the higher level of MPP8 expression demonstrated in bone cancer while the cervical cancer was less expression of MPP8. Prostate cancer significantly expressed MPP8 gene (p≤0.001). The current assay considers the first assay to study the association between MPP8 expression level and various types of cancer in Iraq .as well as, there is little research regarding the association between MPP8 gene expression and digestive system tumors. However, rectal, colon, stomach and pancreatic cancers included in present study and they are significantly expressed MPP8 gene. Thus, additional studies are required to evaluate whether MPP8 a useful biomarker to predict aggressive behavior in digestive system carcinomas.

Evaluation of the dentoalveolar changes following extraction-based orthodontic treatment in patients with severe crowding using clear aligners in comparison with traditional fixed appliances: A randomized controlled clinical trial
Journal ID : AMJ-24-04-2023-11438; Author : Samer T. Jaber, Mohammad Y. Hajeer,
Abstract : This study aimed to compare the dentoalveolar changes following the orthodontic treatment with clear aligners in comparison with the traditional fixed appliances. A single-center, 2-arm parallel-group RCT was conducted. Thirty-six adult patients (20 females, 16 males) who had severe crowding and required first-premolar extraction were recruited and allocated to the clear aligners group (CA), or the fixed appliances group (FA). Pre-and post-treatment dental cast models were evaluated by measuring the intercanine, interpremolar, and intermolar widths, arch length, and arch depth. Wilcoxon signed-ranks tests were used for intra-group comparisons, whereas Mann-Whitney U tests were used for inter-group comparisons. Bonferroni's adjustment of the alpha level was adopted. In the CA group, there were no significant differences in the maxillary and mandibular intercanine and interpremolar widths, whereas there were significant differences in the mandibular interpremolar width, maxillary and mandibular arch length, and depth (P≤0.001). In the FA group, there was a minor decrease in the transverse maxillary and mandibular arch widths with no significant differences. There was a significant decrease after treatment with the fixed appliances for the arch length and depth. There were no significant differences in the transverse arch widths, arch lengths, and arch depths (P>0.005) between the two groups. The orthodontic treatment with four first-premolar extractions of severe crowding patients by the clear aligners or the fixed appliances is accompanied by slight and insignificant transverse changes on the arches, except for the interpremolar width in the lower premolar area in the CA group.

Journal ID : AMJ-24-04-2023-11437; Author : Avin Ali Mahmood, Rozhan Yassin Khalil,
Abstract : Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is one of the most common medical pregnancy complications, leading to significant adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of the implementation of health education on maternal and neonatal outcomes among women with GDM. A quantitative quasi-experimental convenience sampling was used to collect data on 140 pregnant women diagnosed with GDM who attended Sulaimani Maternity Teaching Hospital from November 1, 2021, to October 1, 2022. Data questionnaires were used to collect these data by direct interview. The mean ages of the intervention and control groups were 32.5±5.6 and 32.0±5.8 years, respectively. Most participants in both groups graduated from primary and secondary school (34.3% and 38.6%, respectively), received metformin for GDM management (61.4% and 62.9%, respectively), and most of them delivered by cesarean section (65.7% and 87.1%, respectively). Most women in the intervention group (82.9%) had no complications during labour compared to those in the control group (71.4%). The most frequent neonatal complications found in the control group were hyperbilirubinemia (34.3%), respiratory distress syndrome (30.0%), and heart disease (5.7%). Regarding the level of knowledge of GDM, there was a significant difference between the intervention and control groups (p=0.001). Participation in a health education program designed for women with GDM improved knowledge of the disease and increased awareness of how women can reduce its complications.

Journal ID : AMJ-18-04-2023-11430; Author : Duaa Ismail, Souad Abboud, Hasan Alzoubi,
Abstract : Post-operative sensitivity associated with bleaching is one of the most significant side effects related to tooth bleaching, there were consequently many materials and methods suggested to manage this sensitivity. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of modified bioactive glass (BioMin-F and BioMin-C) on the vital tooth to decrease post-operative sensitivity associated with at-home vital tooth bleaching using 20% Carbamide Peroxide. This study was performed on 30 patients to evaluate decrease post-operative sensitivity using modified bioactive glass in an at-home tooth bleaching procedure. The participants were instructed to apply the bleaching paste 20% carbamide peroxide 4 hours a day for 14 days followed by applying either BioMin-F, BioMin-C, or a placebo paste 30 min a day for 14 days using a bleaching tray. The tooth sensitivity was evaluated by the patients themselves using a visual analogue scale during the bleaching period. The data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA and Bonferroni tests. The results demonstrated a decrease in sensitivity associated with at-home bleaching while using BioMin-F, and BioMin-C during the second week of follow-up compared to the placebo paste (p<0.05). The modified bioactive glass pastes (BioMin-F and BioMin-C) affect the post-operative sensitivity associated with tooth bleaching when compared to a placebo paste.
