Clinical Study of Healing process as a Result of Using CO2 Laser in Management of Benign Tumors and Leukoplakia in the Oral Cavity

Objective: to study and evaluate the surgical operative process in the management of Benign Tumors and Leukoplakia in the Oral Cavity by using Laser CO2. Materials and methods: a total of 18 patients (10 males and 8 females) with mean age 50 years, and diagnosed with Benign tumorous Lesions or Leukoplakia on mucosa of the oral cavity, were treated by Vaporization by using CO2 Laser in Al-Assad university hospital. The postoperative complications were recorded within 7 days after the surgery, and the wounds was assigned until entire healing. Results: 8(44%) patients had week pain after 24 hour of surgery, and reduced to 2(11%) patients in the third day. Edema was seen by 8(44%) patients after 24 hour of surgery, and reduced to 1(6%) patient in the third day.5 (28%) patients showed disturbance within oral functions, and became 1(6%) patient in the third day. No complications were seen after 7 days of surgery. No infection or bleeding were recorded within following time.no statistically significant differences between Lesion kind and pain degree, and no relationship between Pain degree and Disturbance of the Lesions. Entire healing was satisfactory in all Wounds and no scar were seen . Conclusion: CO2 Laser is effective method in manage and minimize the complications during Healing process after the management of Benign Tumors and Leukoplakia in oral cavity.

Role of serum levels of CA125 in distinguishing between benign and malignant ovarian tumors

This study was executed at Al Assad hospital, Lattakia . is a retrospective study of ovarian mass patients who had been accepted in the department of gynecology during the period between 1/1/2009 and 31/12/2013 .The aim was to study age distribution of benign and malignant tumors , and to study the relation between Ca125 and pre/postmenopausal benign and malignant tumors. The study included 148 patients . The patients' ages ranged between 13-78 years , and the majority of benign tumors occurred in the age group 21- 40 years and the majority of malignant tumors occurred in the age group 51- 60 years . The commonest tumors were epithelial in origin followed by the germ cell tumors followed by sex cord stromal tumors and metastatic tumors. In benign tumorsCa125>=35u/ml was more frequently with endometriosis followed by serous tumors . and in malignant tumors was more frequently with serous tumors followed by mucinous tumors. The highest sensitivity of ca125 level was in prediction postmenopausal benign tumors but with low specificity followed by prediction postmenopausal malignant tumors with high specificity. The quality of the test was higher in postmenopausal benign/malignant tumors compared to premenopausal tumors

Central Cemento-Ossifying Fibroma (CCOF) A clinical and histological retrospective study

the fibroma's correlation with age, gender and the location of lesion, and then to conduct an analytical study of the collagenous and mineralized constituents between the lesions of the maxilla and mandible for the patients of the faculty of dentistry, Damascus university. Methods & Materials: Our study covered 36 patients aged 9 – 40 years, (average 24.5 years old), 12 males and 24 females. Central cemento-ossifying fibroma was diagnosed and treated at maxillofacial surgery department, the oral histology and oral pathology department, faculty of dentistry, Damascus university, between 2004 and 2008. Biopsies were studied after they had been stained with hematoxylin and eosin. The analytical tables were made using SPSS program, issue 13.0 and Chi square test for Sig<0.05. Results: The clinical examination of the tumor showed hard swelling covered by normal mucosa. The proportion of tumors in females was 2:1 for males in the third decade of life. 58.3 of lesion were in the mandible mainly in premolars and molars. The histological study showed fibrous connective stroma of bundles of collagenous fibers including fibroblasts and mineralized materials either osseous, osteoid or cementoid. Bundles of collagenous fibers formed 55.6% of fibrous connective. The ratio of laminar bone trabeculae was varied between 40% for the maxilla and 67% for the mandible. Osteoid material existed by 60% in the maxilla and 33% in the mandible. 90.5% of mandibular tumor compared with 73% of that of the maxilla were surrounded by a true complete connective capsule. The statistics study showed a correlation between the mineralized materials and the location of lesion Sig<0.05. Conclusion: central cemento-ossifying Fibroma appeared much greatly in females of thirties and it trended to defeat the mandible more than the maxilla. There was an important correlation between the mineralized materials and the location of lesion.

Comparing Treatment Results of Silodosin and Doxazosin in Patients with Benign Prostatic Hyperplasya.

This research aims to compare the therapeutic results of Silodosin, Doxozosin in patients with Benign Prostate Hyperplasia. A random sample was taken of (67) patients at Assad University Hospital in Lattakia, and was divided into two groups: the first group was treated using Silodosin, and the second group was treated using Doxozosin. We studied the therapeutic development of patients after one month, three months, six months of treatment. Measurements were recorded (Ipss, Qol, Qmax) for both groups. Using appropriate statistical methods, we reached the following results: Equality of the two groups of patients before applying the treatment. The effectiveness of both drugs (Silodosin and Doxozosin) in the treatment of patients with Benign Prostate Hyperplasia, where results showed an improvement in therapeutic measurements (Ipss, Qol, Qmax) by time. The effectiveness of the drug Silodosin in the treatment of patients with Benign Prostate Hyperplasia, compared with the efficacy of the drug Doxozosin, where results showed that therapeutic measurements (Ipss, Qol, Qmax) recorded a better improvement within the first group that was treated using Silodosin when compared with the results of measurements of the second group that was treated using Doxozosin

Complications of Non Vascularised fibular Bone Grafts

Non Vascularized fibular Bone Grafts are consider one of the most method which used in limp sparing surgery. This study aims To knowledgement the early and later complications of the Non Vascularized fibular grafts in bone reconstruction following bone tumor resection. the retrospective study was performed at 40 patients with malignant and benign tumors, the study lasted from January 2007 to January 2011. during this period 40 surgical operation were performed. This study depends on the arshef of bone Tumors unit- Albairouni hsspital.
