“…Over time, chest pain might develop as a result of the reduction in blood flow to the heart caused by this plaque accumulation. If the artery is blocked, which is typically the consequence of a blood clot, oxygen cannot reach the heart, which may lead to a heart attack and/or injury to the heart tissue [3]. Maintaining the integrity of blood vessels protects the human body from these changes by preventing vascular tone, inflammation, and platelet aggregation.…”

The most prevalent form of heart disease and the main cause of death in both developed and developing nations is CAD. It happens when "plaque," or cholesterol or other fatty deposits that accumulate on the inner wall of the artery, narrows or blocks the arteries that deliver blood to the heart. Over time, chest pain might develop as a result of the reduction in blood flow to the heart caused by this plaque accumulation. The study was designed to find if Arginase acts as a biomarker for diagnosing Coronary Artery Disease (CAD). A total of 90 individual samples were included in the present study, the control group consist of 40 healthy individual samples, while the CAD patients were 50 individual samples. Some biochemical parameters such as fasting blood glucose (FBG), troponin I(TnI), high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), lipid profile, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and Arginase activity were analyzed. The results of the current study showed no significant differences in the average age of patients (67.00±6.78) when compared with the control group (61.10±6.46), P>0.05. A significant increase Was found in the FBI level, cholesterol, triglycerides, very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), TnI, hs-CRP, LDH, and Arginase activity in the patient's group when compared with the control group. While significant decrease (P<0.05) was revealed in the high-density lipoprotein (HDL) level in CAD patients in comparison to the control group. Also, there was a positive significant correlation between Arginase activity with each age and FBG. As for the ROC operator curve for Arginase, it was found that the area under the curve (AUC) was 0.953 with a sensitivity of 90%, and specificity of 95%. The results in the present study indicate a possible use of Arginase as a diagnostic marker for CAD.

“…The acquired Bascom theory states that spherical glutei and deep grooves between them create a vacuum for hair that forms foreign body reaction from hair loss of the scalp according to Karydakis theory [14][15] The surgical technique preferred by every surgeon must be simple, not associated with complications, less pain, short hospital time, and rapid healing without recurrence. Nevertheless, the recurrence is higher in the ZP compared to the Bilateral subcutaneous fatty ap [16][17].…”

Background: Pilonidal disease has numerous management techniques available to surgeons worldwide. Because of the variety of clinical manifestations, several methods of intervention are needed; as a result, we hope for careful selection of the best technique for the patient's severity and recurrence. Aim: To prevent possible recurrence after bilateral subcutaneous fatty flap(BSF), a novel method for treating pilonidal sinus illness and Z-Plasty(ZP) with fasciocutaneous flap. Patients and methods: All prospective patients having recurrent pilonidal sinus and operated on at our institute, Surgical Department from Jan. 2022 to Dec. 2023. In total, 50 cases have sacrococcygeal disease ( SCD), and 25 patients in Group A had bilateral subcutaneous fatty flap surgery. In contrast, the 25 patients in Group B were treated by Z-Plasty(ZP) with fasciocutaneous flap surgery. We assessed the length of the procedure, the level of postoperative pain, the length of the hospital stay, the postoperative complications, and the likelihood of recurrence. Results: The wound size was in the bilateral Subcutaneous fatty flap (BSF) 28.11 ± 8.48 mm relative to the (ZP) 23.84 ± 8.44 mm). Also, the complete healing was comparatively prolonged in the BSF (13days) relative to the ZP group (30 days). The surgery duration differs significantly (P < 0.001) between the groups; it was lower in the BSF group (29.15 ± 7.69 mins) than in the ZP (23.03 ± 6.06 mins). In the BSF group, the hospitalization was four days. Still, ZP group (11days), The time for work recovery or activity was shorter in the BSF (11 days) relative to the ZP group (36 days). BSF had more reasonable satisfaction than the ZP group, duration of wound healing in BSF being 11 days but in ZP 30 days. Additionally, the duration of pain in the group was ZP (38 days but in the BSF group (11 days). Return to work in BSF 11 days and in ZP 36 days; The median satisfaction scores attained 8 (28.1%) in BSF and 9 (37%) in the ZP (P = 0.046). The median VAS scores attained 37.8% BSF and 44% for ZP (P = 0.934). The highest VAS score was equal to group B, which was 6. Conclusion: when treating pilonidal sinus disease, the bilateral subcutaneous fatty flap is superior to the ZP flap.

“…For many years, direct vision internal urethrotomy (DVIU) has been used for the initial management of short-segment urethral strictures. It is a convenient and minimally invasive method with a high short-term success rate of 80−100% [2,[6][7][8][9][10]. However, there is a high recurrence rate of urethral strictures following DVIU due to the reconstruction of scar tissue, from 20 to 60%, which is an ongoing problem with a high-cost burden for patients [11,12].…”

Background: The high recurrence of a urethral stricture after direct vision internal urethrotomy (DVIU) has been a problem for years. Mitomycin C (MMC) is an excellent antifibrosis antigen that has been used in many fields, but its effect on a urethral stricture remains controversial. The purpose of this review was to investigate the effectiveness of MMC in reducing the recurrence rate of a urethral stricture after the first urethrotomy. Methods: Common databases were searched for publications prior to November 30, 2020. Randomized controlled and cohort trials were all included. Recurrence and success rates after the first urethrotomy of the posterior urethra were the main outcomes. Revman 5.3 was used for statistical analysis. Two evaluation systems, the Cochrane risk of bias tool and the Newcastle Ottawa Scale, were used to examine the risk of bias for RCTs and all studies. The quality of evidence was assessed by the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation standard. Results: Sixteen trials were included, the reporting quality of which was generally poor, and the evidence level was very low to moderate. The addition of MMC could significantly reduce the recurrence rate of urethral strictures (risk ratio [RR] = 0.42; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.26, 0.67; p = 0.0002; 9 trials; 550 participants). The results of the subgroup analysis suggested that the effect of MMC combined with DVIU was significant in short (≤2 cm) anterior urethral strictures (RR = 0.39; 95% CI: 0.20, 0.78; p = 0.008), >12-month follow-up (RR = 0.45; 95% CI: 0.26, 0.76; p = 0.003). It also increased the success rate of the first urethrotomy procedure for posterior urethral contracture (RR = 0.74; 95% CI: 0.65, 0.84; p < 0.00001; 7 trials; 342 participants). Low-dose local injection of MMC was the most commonly used method. Conclusion: MMC combined with DVIU is a promising way to reduce the long-term recurrence rate of a short-segment anterior urethral stricture. It also increases the success rate of the first urethrotomy of the posterior urethra. However, more high-quality randomized controlled trials are needed.
