Objective: Keloid pose aesthetic and functional problems, in addition to being associated with disturbing clinical symptoms such as itching and pain, and current methods of treatment are limited in effectiveness. Clinical studies indicate that botulinum toxin (BTA) may prevent the formation of keloid and treat it, so the aim of this research was to compare the effectiveness of topical injection of botulinum toxin versus topical steroid injection in the treatment of keloid. Methods: The research sample included 23 patients from the dermatology clinic at Tishreen University Hospital in Lattakia between 2019 and 2020, with keloids. The number of keloids registered with the studied sample was 30 distributed to two groups: Group A receiving IL steroid repeated every 4 weeks for six sessions, Group B IL BTA 5 IU /cm3 repeated every 8 weeks for three sessions. Objective parameters (hardness, elevation, pigmentation and vasscularity), subjective complaints (itching, pain, and tenderness), patient satisfaction, and side effects were evaluated. Results: There was a 58.4% decrease in the Vancouver scale for group A, and 65.8% for group B, without a statistical difference between the two groups (P <0.05). A noticeable decrease in tenderness 85.9% in treatment group A and 82.7% in treatment group B. A significant decrease in elevation in A 79.4% while B had a slight decrease of 27%. For vascularity we observed a slight decrease in treatment group A of 17.7% without statistical significance, whereas in treatment group B there was a decrease of 58%. The itching improvement in treatment group B was shown to be greater with statistically significant differences (P<0.05). Skin atrophy and telangiectasia were evident in 11 patients of group A. Conclusions: This study showed the efficacy and safety of topical toxin injection in treating keloid by improving objective and subjective criteria when compared to topical injection of corticosteroids. With fewer side effects reported for botulinum toxin.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of dexamethasone, as a single 4-mg dose, which was injected into the masseter muscle upon completion of extraction of impacted lower third molars . this study is A prospective, randomized controll ed study . This study involves 40 healthy patients of both sexes with impacted mandibular third molars in this study . The difficulty of extraction was similar in all cases. The test side received 4 mg of dexamethasone This dose was injected into the masseter muscle via the intrabuccal approach, immediately after suturing of the surgical wound. The control side received 4 mg of dexamethasone injected into the gluteal area.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of botulinum toxin-A (BTX-A) therapy compared with Transcutaneous Electric Nerve Stimulation(TENS) in treatment against temporomandibular disorders clinically study Twenty patients with temporoma ndibular disorder symptoms and signs were enrolled in the study. The patients were randomly assigned into two groups. Patients in group 1 were injected with 20 IU BTX-A in the masseter and temporal muscle in both sides , whereas patients in group 2 were treated with (TENS),the electrodes were applied on masseter and temporal muscle in both sides, time of stimulation abut 30s ,3perweek for 4 week.
Purpose : to determine the incidence of eyes that have an increase in the intraocular pressure( I.O.P ) after subtenon injection of triamcinolone acetonide . Methods: 40 patient 50 eyes treated with 40 mg subtenon injection of TA for different diseas es. The incidence of an I.O.P elevation ≥ 5mmhg was determine, the peak of I.O.P, the relation between I.O.P elevation and the age, gender, the kind of disease and the number of we injections of ta Results : an elevation I.O.P≥ 5mmhg was found in 25 eyes ( 50%) . The I.O.P began to increase significantly from 1 month (20%) The peak of I.O.P after 3 months (80%) and returned to the baseline I.O.P in 10 months . the elevation I.O.P≥ 5 mmhg was significantly related with younger age (80%) between 40-50 years the elevation I.O.P is between females' more in cedence than males (59,59%) females and (42,8%) males, and is less incidence aftere single injection (42.8%) less than multi injection (60%) multiple No significant relation is round between the disease and the incidence of increased I.O.P . Conclusion : repeated injections of TA and injection of younger patients especially women increase the incidence of an I.O.P elevation .
