    Abstract Prolapse of intervertebral disc is a common pathology seen in the neurosurgery field but intradural lumbar disc herniation is a rare entity encountered only during the surgical treatment of prolapse. We present a 30-year-old male who reported lower back pain radiating to the right lower limb for the last 2.5 years. The pain started after a brief history of weight lifting. There were no associated motor or sensory deficits. The magnetic resonance imaging of the lumbosacral spine showed prolapse of intervertebral disc at the level of lumbar L4-L5. The patient underwent laminectomy and intradural discectomy of L4-L5. Patient had a smooth post-operative recovery with no neurological deficits. A thorough radiological examination can aid in the pre-operative diagnosis of an intradural lumbar disc herniation.

    Abstract Pulmonary Artery Aneur ysm (PAA), whether congenital or acquired, is a rare diagnostic find ing com pare d to aor tic aneur ysms. There have been fe w cases where PA As were documented as a complication of untreated Patent Ductus Ar teriosus (PDA) due to long-standing Pulmonary Arterial H ypertension (PAH). However, it is quite rare for a case of PAA to be reported with co-existing PDA without PAH. This report highlights a case of a five -year-old girl who was presented with palpitations, easy fatigability, fever, c yanos is, and vomiting. A Chest X-ray s howed mo derate cardiomega ly. A PDA of 6 mm was diagnosed on Transthoracic E chocardiog rap hy ( TTE ) and a large cavity con necte d with LPA raised suspicion of a possible LPA aneur ysm. A Chest CT scan confirm ed the diagnosis of a saccular aneurysm, originating from the distal part of the main Left Pulmonary Artery (LPA) just proximal to the point of bifurcation into lobar branches, measuring 7.5x6.5 cm. During surgery, the aneurysm was opened, emptied with suction and closed without resecting the aneur ysmal walls. The patient had an uneventful post-op course and is doing well during regular interval follow up visits.

    Abstract Background Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a major public health problem worldwide, and vaccination is currently the most effective way to control its spread and reduce its severity. Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a prevalent chronic disease that poses a significant health risk and is a frequent comorbidity in COVID-19 patients. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the frequency of local and systemic side effects of the AstraZeneca vaccine among diabetic and non-diabetic participants. Methodology This multicenter study was designed as a cross-sectional prospective study and was conducted in Pakistan using a non-probability consecutive sampling method. The study duration was eight months from August 1, 2022, to March 31, 2023. A total of 700 participants who received both (first and second) doses of the AstraZeneca immunization were included in the study. An independent t-test was applied to determine the association between the means and standard deviations of age, height, weight, and duration of DM and hypertension. The chi-square test was used to evaluate the association between local and systemic side effects. Results Among the 700 participants, 173 (49.4%) males and 177 (50.6%) females had diabetes, whereas 183 (52.3%) males and 167 (47.7%) females did not have DM; their mean ages were 46.95 ± 12.73 years (diabetics) and 38.10 ± 14.14 years (non-diabetics). The most frequent adverse effects of the AstraZeneca vaccine after the first dose were pain at the injection site, reported by 259 (74.0%) diabetics and 226 (64.6%) non-diabetic participants; however, after the second dose, injection site swelling in 170 (48.6%) diabetic and 163 (46.6%) non-diabetic recipients was the most commonly reported local side effects. Conclusions This study concluded that concurrent medical conditions such as DM had substantially more local and systemic side effects than those without the disease. After receiving both doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine, the most frequently reported local side effects in both diabetic and non-diabetic participants were pain, swelling, and burning at the injection site, followed by systemic side effects such as fever.

    Abstract Background/aim: Luxation is a common traumatic dental injury treated with a wire composite (WC) splint. However, bulk-fill flowable composite and conventional packable composite have not been compared for retaining these splints. Therefore, the objectives of this randomized controlled trial were (1) to compare retention of WC splints, and (2) to compare adhesive point dimension, application and removal time, and effect on tooth mobility between the two WC splints.
    Materials and methods: In this parallel group, non-inferiority double blind randomized controlled trial, a total of 90 patients, aged 16-50 years participated. They were randomly allocated into two groups, the packable composite group (PC) n = 45 and the bulk-fill flowable composite group (BF-FC) n = 45 by lottery method. Following measurements were taken at the splint application appointment. Horizontal tooth mobility measured via Periotest, splint application time, and frontal images of splinted teeth to measure the percentage composite adhesive point area. After 2 weeks, splints were visually inspected for retention, whereas mobility and removal times were also recorded. Statistically, comparisons were made using independent samples sample T-test, Fisher's exact test, and Mann-Whitney U at p ≤ .05.
    Results: A total of 88 patients with 156 luxated teeth completed the trial, as two patients were lost to follow-up. Two patients in the PC group reported with completely de-bonded splints while none de-bonded in the BF-FC group. Both groups were similar in terms of splint retention (p = .352), reduction of mobility (p = .426), and splint removal times (p = .372). The BF-FC group performed significantly better in adhesive point dimension percentages (p < .001) and splint application time (p < .001).
    Conclusion: Both groups were comparable in most parameters of the study. However, for BF-FC group application time and adhesive point dimension were significantly less.

    Abstract Background: There is an increasing number of cases being reported of neurological manifestations of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection and Monkeypox (Mpox), both during the course of the infection and as a presenting symptom. We aim to review the neurological manifestations of COVID-19 and monkeypox in pediatric patients and their management.
    Methods: We conducted a systematic review that included cohort studies and case series or reports involving a pediatric population of patients with a confirmed COVID-19 or Mpox infection and their neurological manifestations. We searched the following electronic databases: PubMed, EMBASE, and Scopus.
    Results: From 1136 articles identified, 127 studies were included. Headache, stroke, Guillain-Barré syndrome, seizure, nerve palsies, and multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children were the most common neurological symptoms caused by COVID-19, whereas encephalitis was commonly seen in patients with Mpox. Rare neurological manifestations of COVID-19 included cerebral venous sinus thrombosis, plexopathies, demyelinating disorders, encephalitis, etc., and rare neurological manifestations of Mpox included headache.
    Conclusions: Our review highlights the importance of investigating possible neurological manifestations and closely monitoring these patients to develop a better understanding of the treatment strategies that can be adopted.

    Abstract A case of unusual anatomy in a maxillary lateral incisor is presented. A 20-year old female presented with failing endodontics. Clinical examination and radiographs revealed poorly obturated maxillary left lateral incisor with an untreated patent second root and a palatogingival groove. A decision was made to treat the tooth non-surgically. After removing gutta-percha from main canal, the orifice of second root could not be located from inside the chamber. After determining the position of this root to be mesial and palatal to main canal, gingival tissue was removed from mesio-palatal side and access was extended to include the cingulum and orifice was located mesio-palatally. This canal was mechanically prepared and both canals were filled with calcium hydroxide. Three weeks later when symptoms subsided, the canals were obturated using the warm vertical technique. However, patient returned after a month complaining of pain and pus discharge. The tooth was surgically retreated; the enucleation was performed without root end resection. Patient returned after two years and reported complete healing but with mild discoloration of crown which was treated with walking bleach technique.

    Abstract Introduction: The purpose of this study was to observe the release of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) after conditioning with etidronic acid (also known as 1-hydroxyethylidene-1 and 1-bisphosphonate [HEDP]) and phytic acid (inositol hexakisphosphate [IP6]) in comparison with EDTA on human dentin disks and cylinders.
    Methods: Human dentin disks were disinfected and prepared by the standardized method. Seventeen percent EDTA, 9% HEDP, 1% IP6, and distilled water (5 minutes) were used to immerse dentin disks. The dentin cylinders were prepared by following disinfection and the standardized preparation method to achieve a truncated cone-shaped canal with a 1-mm open apex. The dentin cylinder samples were irrigated with sodium hypochlorite (5 mL/5 minutes) and then rinsed with 17% EDTA, 9% HEDP, 1% IP6 and distilled water (5 mL/5 min). Enzyme-linked immunosorbent essay was performed to measure VEGF release. One-way analysis of variance was used to compare the mean release of VEGF between study groups and controls at a significance level of .05. A post hoc Tukey test was used for multiple comparisons between study groups.
    Results: Among conditioners, HEDP released more VEGF from both disks and cylinders. In cylinders, VEGF release by HEDP was significantly greater than the other conditioners, whereas in disks the release of VEGF was similar with all conditioners.
    Conclusions: The release of VEGF by 9% HEDP and 1% IP6 was comparable with 17% EDTA from dentin disks; however, HEDP demonstrated more release from dentin cylinders than EDTA and IP6.

    Abstract Background: Preparation of root canal according to its desired anatomy and complete disinfection is a laborious task. Several factors influence the endodontic treatment including operator's skill and knowledge, anatomy of the tooth, the instruments and equipment used. In the past stainless-steel instruments were used to prepare the root canal but it causes many iatrogenic errors. Nickel titanium instruments evolved to overcome the iatrogenic damages caused by stainless steel instruments. Keeping this in mind a comparative study was conducted on the clinical work of dental intern using stainless steel files and progressively taper nickel titanium instruments. The objective of this study was to compare the performance of interns using either stainless Steel or progressively tapered hand operated NiTi instruments.
    Methods: This retrospective study included post-treatment radiographs of root canal treatments performed by interns by using either stainless steel files or NiTi Protaper files, in the endodontic department of Hamdard University Dental Hospital, Karachi, Pakistan. It was a 10-year audit, from 2008 to 2018, of endodontic performance. A total of 1219 post treatment radiographs of good quality and showing at least 2mm periapical area beyond the root apex were included. In SS group, preparation were performed by step back method, while in NiTi group the Protaper instruments for hand were used. Scoring criteria was used to evaluate technical quality. The data was analysed using SPSS for windows version 17.0. Chi-square test was used to determine difference in proportions between the outcomes in SS and NiTi groups at p0.05.
    Results: A total of 1219 radiographs were included out of which 584 (47.9%) belonged to SS and 635 (52.1%) to NiTi group. Overall satisfactory performance was in 553 (45.4%) teeth. Treatment done with NiTi was only marginally better than that achieved with SS files (NiTi n=298 (46.9%), SS n=255 (43.7%)). In the SS group, there were more overfills and internal and external transportation (p<0.001). NiTi reported more cases of inadequate lateral seal and separated instruments (p<0.05).
    Conclusions: Endodontic performance of interns was not improved with progressive taper NiTi manual instruments.
