Background: Dentists in their practice are daily exposed to work-related vibrations. The important cause of work disability is carpal tunnel syndrome. Methods: In this cross-sectional study data from 100 dentists was collected using convenient sampling technique. Prior to data collection consent form was sent to the respective dental section of government hospitals of Faisalabad. The dentists who met the inclusion criterion were invited to participate in the study. The Diagnosis was made according to clinical tests of Phalen and Tinel. Age, sex, years of experience, working hours per week and the type of procedure were then be considered as dependent variables Results: Overall, prevalence rate of 60% of carpal tunnel syndrome among old aged dentists was observed. Conclusion: The risk of carpel tunnel syndrome increases with age. It also concluded that 60% prevalence rate was found in the dentists. Older dentists of age 35-50 year were included in more risk group than younger 20-25 year. Keywords: Carpal tunnel syndrome, Phalen’s sign, Tinel’s sign, endodontic file
Introduction: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication that can occur after invasive cardiac procedures. This condition can cause significant morbidity and mortality, especially in high-risk patients, such as those with preexisting renal dysfunction. Objectives: The main objective of the study is to find the association of radial artery access with reduced incidence of acute kidney injury. Material and methods: The study is conducted at the Department of Cardiology, Hayatabad Medical Complex, Peshawar. This is a tertiary care center that provides cardiac care services to a large population of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan. The center has state-of-the-art facilities and a team of experienced cardiologists and cardiac surgeons who perform a variety of cardiac procedures, including PCI and CABG. Results: Based on a study of 300 patients undergoing cardiac catheterization, there was a significant association between the use of radial artery access and reduced incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI). The study found that 20% of patients who underwent femoral artery access developed AKI, compared to only 10% of patients who underwent radial artery access. This indicates that radial artery access may be a safer option for cardiac catheterization procedures, as it may help reduce the risk of AKI in patients. Conclusion: In conclusion, the present study provides evidence that radial artery access is associated with a lower incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
