    Abstract: Background: Mandibular fracture, also known as fracture of the jaw, is a sudden discontinuity through the mandibular bone. In the treatment of un-favorable mandibular angle fractures, 3D plating system was analogous to double miniplates Osteosynthesis. Over the last century, the indicators for closed vs. open reduction have shifted considerably. Objective: To compare the outcome of conventional miniplates versus 3-D miniplates for reduction of mandibular fractures Material & Methods Study Design: It was randomized control trial Setting: Department of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, Mayo Hospital, Lahore Duration: 6 months i.e. from 24-04-2017 to 24-10-2017 Data collection: 70 mandibular fracture patients were enrolled. The patients were split into two groups. Group A is treated with 3D plates technique and group B treated with conventional mini plate technique. After surgery patients were evaluated for plate failure or and at 1 month for occlusal discrepancy. All the data was entered and put in SPSS version 21. Results: In this study the mean age of the group A patients was 29.29±1.802 years whereas the mean value of age in group B patients was 35.69±11.65 years, male/female ratio of the patients was 1.05:1. Plate was successfully inserted in 100% patients by 3D mini-plate technique. The occlusal discrepancy was noted in 8(11.43%) patients (p-value=0.005). Conclusion: 3-D mini-plates for reduction of mandibular fractures is significantly more efficacious than to conventional mini-plates method Keywords: 3-D mini-plates, Conventional, Mandibular Fractures,

    Abstract: Objective: This study aims to analyze the retinitis pigmentosa patients' Clinical Presentation and inheritance patterns. Research conducted at the tertiary care hospital Material and methods: this tertiary care hospital study was carried out at a level I trauma center between 05 January 2018 to 05 January 2021. fifty-six patients and members of their families underwent an ophthalmic evaluation to help identify those with the condition and define its phenotype. The family tree was traced. Several relatives also had optical gheremco tomography and fundus photography. Results: at Presentation, 52 eyes (47%) were judged to be legally blind, whereas 38 (32%) had some degree of visual impairment. The visual field was narrowed in 22 instances ( 40%) due to the brightness of the interaction. In terms of inheritance patterns, we discovered that three cases were autosomal dominant (4%), 39 cases were autosomal recessive (70%), and three cases were x-linked (6%). Of the total cases, 11 (20%) were isolated incidents. There were 48 patients with a conventional retinitis pigmentosa image (86%) and eight patients with an unusual RP picture (12%), including three instances of pericentric RP (5%), 3 cases of Usher's disease (4%) and 1 case of retinitis punctata albescence (2%) bardet-biedl were identified in a single patient. Conclusions: Retinitis Pigmentosa Patients Have A Very Significant Risk Of Becoming Blind. Autosomal Recessive sporadically follows the Most Prevalent Pattern Of Inheritance. Early Detection Of Retinitis Pigmentosa Is Important In Preventing Blindness From The Disease, As Is Encouraging Patients To Forego Marriages To First Cousins.

    Abstract: Objective: Determine the total number of Category-1 patients with ocular toxicity from Ethambutol after DOTS therapy. Methodology: This study conducted in department of Ophthalmology of abaseen hospital and Khyber medical center Peshawar over the one year, from May 2021 to April 2022 included Category-1 TB patients (both genders) aged 14 and 65 who had normal ocular parameters on an ophthalmological examination when starting DOTS treatment. The frequency of any vision change, optical symptom, including color vision, contrast sensitivity while receiving Ethambutol medication was examined in 240 eyes (120 patients). At the end of the first month and again at the end of the second month of therapy, Each patient's compliance with Ethambutol was examined, and all tests for ocular toxicity were repeated for each chosen patient. The study did not include patients in category-2 with positive sputum smears who had relapsed, had therapy fail, or was getting treatment after a break in treatment. Results: Out of 120 patients (240 eyes), 62 (51.6%) of them were male, and 58 (48.4%) of them were female patients. After a month, there was no sign of ocular toxicity. Ocular toxicity, on the other hand, appeared in 3 (2.5%) of the patients after the second month. Moreover, these three patients showed decreased visual acuity, poor color vision, decreased contrast sensitivity, and optic disc abnormalities. Conclusion: Patients with tuberculosis who use Ethambutol are at risk of developing ocular toxicity. As a result, it is essential to identify visual symptoms and signs as soon as possible to avoid unnecessary diagnostic delays and maybe irreversible vision loss. Keywords: Tuberculosis, Color Vision, Contrast Sensitivity, Optic Disc, Ethambutol-induced ocular toxicity, visual acuity, treatment strategies

    Abstract: The campylobacter genus of bacteria is important in public health as it comprises many species causing diarrhea in humans. Poultry and their products are recognized as vital causes of campylobacteriosis in humans. For bacterial food-borne diseases, Campylobacter is considered as the leading cause. Higher prevalence has been reported in developed countries. Our study was a cross-sectional study directed to determine the prevalence of Campylobacter species in retail broiler meat in the Bannu district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan, from January to June 2018. A total of 200 poultry meat samples were collected from four different areas of district Bannu Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan that includes Lakki gate, Tanchi bazar, Bannu Township and Mangal milla. Mueller-Hinton medium was used for disc diffusion method to determine antibiotic resistance of Campylobacter species. Amongst 200 broiler meat samples, 60 (30%) samples were found positive for Campylobacter species. The highest prevalence was observed in samples from Bannu Township (50%) while lowest prevalence (12%) was observed in samples from Mangal milla broiler meat samples. Amongst different types of meat samples, highest prevalence was found in thigh meat (46%), while lowest prevalence was observed in cloacal swab (20%). Highest resistance was observed against Amoxicillin (AMX) 80% while the resistance observed against other antibiotics were Ampicillin (AMP) 70%, Tetracycline (TET) 65%, Sulphamethoxazole + Trimethoprim (SXT) 60%, Chloramphenicol (CHL) 56.66%, Clarithromycin (CLR) 50%, Streptomycin (STR) 40%, Gentamycin (GEN) 36.66%, Ofloxacin (OFX) 20%, Ciprofloxacin (CIP) 15%, Levofloxacin (LEV) 15% and Azithromycin (AZM) 10%. The lowest resistance was observed against Ceftriaxone (CRO) 5%. Our Study concludes that Campylobacter species is prevalent highly in district Bannu, and it might be a hazard to public health.

    Abstract: Objective: To evaluate the visual outcomes in patients with branch retinal vein obstruction after intravitreal bevacizumab (Avastin) injection. Study Location and Duration:, Department of Ophthalmology Abaseen hospital and Khyber medical center Peshawar from January 2019 to January 2022 both department conducted this multi-center study. Methodology: Patients with BRVO received at least one intravitreal Bevacizumab (Avastin) injection of 1.25 mg in 0.05 ml. Snellen visual acuity tests, Fundus Fluorescein Angiography (FFA), and Optical Coherence Tomography were used to assess the patients (OCT). A complete eye exam was conducted before treatment began, and monthly follow-up examinations were scheduled for the following six months. Results: The total number of patients and eyes was 78, with a mean age of 60. (SD 15.1). The average number of Intravitreal bevacizumab (Avastin) injections administered to patients was four (SD 1.40) per eye. There were no negative consequences observed. Before treatment, the average central macular thickness was 568 microns, but after three months it was only 370 microns (p0.001), and by six months it had decreased to 290 microns. Three months later, the average acuity was much better than at the start (p=0.001), with log MAR = 0.30 (SD 0.22). During the most recent 6-month follow-up, the mean visual acuity was log MAR = 0.40 (SD 0.23), better than the baseline value (p 0.001). Overall, 44 eyes showed an improvement in their vision. Conclusion: Intravitreal Bevacizumab intravitreally for branch retinal vein occlusion improves vision. Bevacizumab intravitreally enhances visual acuity, macular edema, and ischemia. Bevacizumab reduces the risk of vision-threatening vitreous hemorrhage and neovascularization. Hence, Bevacizumab improves vision and treats branch retinal vein occlusion effectively. Keywords: Intravitreal Bevacizumab (Avastin), Branch Retinal Vein Occlusion (BRVO), Visual Acuity Improvement, Macular Ischemia Relief. Retinal Neovascularization Reduction

    Abstract: The study determines the prevalence and resistance among pathogenic bacteria against used antibiotics. The isolates were identified biochemically and subjected to antibiotic sensitivity using disk-diffusion method. A total of 210 bacterial isolates were tested, 175 (83.3%) were reported positive whereas 35 (16.6%) were found negative for HVS. The isolates were initially identified on colonies morphology and later via biochemical tests. The gram positive bacteria isolates i,e Staphylococcus aureus was found 48 (23.3%), followed by lactobacillus and least value belonged to Staphylococcus epidermidis i.e, 7 (3.3%). While gram negative bacteria Escherichia coli were 56 (26.6%), followed by Pseudomonas aeruginosa 36 (17.14%) and least value was of Proteus vulgaris. i.e, 7 (3.3%). All the isolates were subjected to antibiotics susceptibility testing. At least six antibiotics were shown to be resistant in bacterial isolates. Antibiotic resistance was found in considerable abundance in the clinical isolates, according to the findings. Antibiotic susceptibility testing and surveillance are essential on a regular basis to avoid treatment failure and the emergence of antibiotic resistance.
