A group of 200 subjects was divided into five groups consisting of
dentist, students of the last year predoctoral dental, students of
pediatric dentistry, students of dental assistants, and pediatric
dentists. The groups were surveyed in order to
elicit their
responses to a series of ten simple line-drawn faces. Each person
was asked in a questionnaire to medicate on a five-point scale the
degree to which an adjective was appropriate or inappropriate for
each simple line-drawn face. Twenty adjectives were repeated for
the ten different faces. Means and standard deviations were
calculated for all responses. Results indicate that each face yielded
a unique set of appropriate adjectives as perceived by all subjects.
Beyond this basic agreement, however, group differences were
found in the selection of other appropriate adjectives. Based upon
a random subset of responses, discriminant analysis correctly
assigned group membership for 96% of the subjects. It was also
found that eight of the ten faces discriminated among the groups
with correct reclassification ranging from 88% to 96%.
Purpose: to show the good results of primary repair of flexor tendon injuries of the hand in children which very difficult in diagnosis and treatment for hand surgeon.
Patients and methods: This is a study of primary repair of flexor tendons injurie
s in 20 children under 10 years of age within two years in hand unit Al-razi hospital (Kuwait). Repairs were carried within one week using modified Kessler technique. The final results were evaluated using criteria of adjusted Strickland; the final results were evaluated using criteria of adjusted Strickland,
The maim follow-up was 6 months. Post operative immobilization using long splint for 4 weeks.
Results: They were good or excellent in 18 cases, one case had limited movement DIPJ and PIPJ but not bad and other case had no movement of DIPJ and PIPJ who need tenolysis after 8 months of repair.
The zone of injury had no significant effect on the final results which very important in adult.
Conclusion: primary repair of flexor tendon injuries of the hand in children gives the best results if early diagnosis and early repair done with good technique
The study included 143 children from 214 newborn with high umbilical cord blood IgE (UC – IgE) at birth: more than 0.5 international unit per ml. We followed up these children from birth for 8 years.
We found positive atopic familial history by 51.7
% from study samples, against negative history by 48.3% .
During control duration atopic diseases were developed by 76.22 % of children with high UC – IgE, against 23.8 % without atopic diseases.
These children with atopic different disorders suffered from allergic rhinitis 19.6 % , allergic skin disorders (eczema, urticaria) 25.2 % and asthma 31.5% .
The rate of atopic diseases development was 51.7% in children with high UC-IgE, and positive history together, while only 24.5 % in children with high UC-IgE with negative familial history.
Nasal reconstruction is considered as one of the difficult reconstructive
problems to solve. That is due to the importance of the cosmetic appearance of the nose, the several types
of tissues forming the nose and the complexity of the anatomy of th
e nose.
Due to the small nostrils, delicate tissue and lack of surrounding tissues enough for reconstruction, this
problem becomes more difficult to in the reconstruction of children’s noses,
The aim of this research is to look at the cases of nasal reconstruction in children at Mouassat university
hospital, and to suggest a new modification on the forehead flap, which leads to lengthening the flap by
recruiting a piece of the Galea as a facial flap connected to the distal end of the forehead flap. This flap
will be covered with a split thickness skin graft, then it will be folded to reconstruct the inner surface of
the nose.
