Is Topical Nasal Steroid Useful for Treatment of Otitis Media with Effusion in Children?
...Show More Authors

Background: Otitis media with effusion is a common and important pediatric clinical problem; it is the leading cause of hearing impairment in children. Medical treatment remains controversial. Aim: To evaluate the usefulness of using topical nasal steroids in the treatment of otitis media with effusion. Patients and Methods: Between November 2019 and October 2022, a prospective controlled clinical study was carried out in the department of otolaryngology at Al-Jerrahat Teaching Hospital in Medical City, Baghdad, Iraq. This study comprised 40 patients with bilateral otitis media with effusion (23 males, 17 females). Two groups were created for the patients. Patients in group A (20 patients) were treated with mometasone furoate nasal spray; 1 puff (50 µg) in each nostril daily for 2 weeks, while the 20 patients in group B were treated with saline nasal spray; 1 puff in each nostril daily for 2 weeks. At the end of the first and second weeks of treatment, otoscopic examination was used to monitor the patients. At the end of the second post-treatment week, pure tone audiometry and tympanometry were performed again. Normal otoscopic results, a type A tympanogram, and enhanced pure tone hearing threshold average to be ≤20 dB HL within 0, 5, 1, and 4 KHz were used to characterize resolution of OME. The association between two means was determined using an independent sample t-test, while the association between categorical variables was determined using an X2-test. Results: At the end of 2nd post-treatment week, there was no significant difference regarding improvement of otitis media with effusion regarding otoscopic, audiometric, and tympanometric results in both groups (P-value >0.05). Conclusion: Topical nasal steroid is unuseful for the treatment of otitis media with effusion in the short-term.

Synthesis and Spectral Studies on Cobalt(II), Nickel(II), Copper(II), Palladium(II), Platinum(II, IV), Zinc(II), Cadmium(II) and Mercury(II) Complexes of(1, 2-diaminoethane-N,N'-bis(2- butylidine-3 onedioxime)

The synthesis of [1,2-diaminoethane-N,N'-bis(2-butylidine-3- onedioxime)] [II2L] and its cobalt(II), nickel(II), copper(II), palladium(II), platinum(II, IV), zinc(II), cadmium(II) and mercury(II) complexes is reported. The compounds were characterised by elemental analyses, spectroscopic methods [I.R, UV-Vis, ('H NMR. and EI mass for H2L)], molar conductivities, magnetic moments. I.R. spectra show that (H2L) behaves as a neutral or mononegative ligand depending on the nature of the metal ions. The molar conductance of the complexes in (DMSO) is commensurate with their ionic character. On the basis of the above measurements, a square planar geometry is proposed for NOD, Pd(II), and Pt(II) complexes, and an octahedr-al structure with trans

This study aimed to study the inhibition activity of purified bacteriocin produced from the local isolation Lactococcuslactis ssp. lactis against pathogenic bacteria species isolated from clinical samples in some hospitals Baghdad city. Screening of L. lactis ssp. Lactis and isolated from the intestines fish and raw milk was performed in well diffusion method. The results showed that L. lactis ssp. lactis (Lc4) was the most efficient isolate in producing the bacteriocin as well observed inhibitory activity the increased that companied with the concentration, the concentration of the twice filtrate was better in obtaining higher inhibition diameters compared to the one-fold concentration. The concentrate

The current work concerns preparing cobalt manganese ferrite (Co0.2Mn0.8Fe2O4) and decorating it with polyaniline (PAni) for supercapacitor applications. The X-ray diffraction findings (XRD) manifested a broad peak of PAni and a cubic structure of cobalt manganese ferrite with crystal sizes between 21 nm. The pictures were taken with a field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM), which evidenced that the PAni has nanofibers (NFs) structures, grain size 33 – 55 nm, according to the method of preparation, where the hydrothermal method was used. The magnetic measurements (VSM) that were conducted at room temperature showed that the samples had definite magnetic properties. Additionally, it was noted that the saturation magnetizatio
