Comparison of Two Botulinum Toxin Injection Methods for Treatment of Excessive Gingival Display
...Show More Authors

Background: Hyperfunction of the muscles of the upper lip is considered as the most common cause of excessive gingival display (EGD). The aim of this study was to demonstrate the effectiveness of botulinum toxin (BT) injection as a conservative treatment for EGD due to muscular hyperfunction and to compare the outcome of 2 injection methods. Material and methods: This study included 40 participants who were randomly assigned into 2 groups of 20 each, The first group received 2.5IU BT injection at 1 point per side (2-points group), while the second group received a total of 5 IU of BT at 2 points per side (4-points group). The outcome variables were the reduction in the central and lateral gingival display expressed as the difference between the pre- and post-injection measurements and the degree of satisfaction of the participants. The follow up visits were at 2- and 12-weeks postinjection. The study variables were statistically analyzed and probability values of <0.05 were considered significant. Results: There was a significant improvement (P < 0.0001) in both groups throughout the follow up period, but the improvement achieved by 4-points group was significantly better than that of the 2-points group with respect to the gingival display and the degree of satisfaction (P < 0.0001). Conclusions: Botulinum toxin injection represents a safe and less invasive modality for treatment of EGD, the 4-points method results in better outcome in terms of clinical measurements and degree of satisfaction over the 2-points method.

Treatment of Simulated Oily Wastewater by Ultrafiltration and Nanofiltration Processes
...Show More Authors

A study in the treatment and reuse of oily wastewater generated from the process of fuel oil treatment of gas turbine power plant was performed. The feasibility of using hollow fiber ultrafiltration (UF) membrane and nanofiltration (NF) membrane type polyamide thin-film composite in a pilot plant was investigated. Three different variables: pressure (0.5, 1, 1.5 and 2 bars), oil content (10, 20, 30 and 40 ppm), and temperature (15, 20, 30 and 40 ᵒC) were employed in the UF process while TDS was kept constant at 150 ppm. Four different variables: pressure (2, 3, 4 and 5 bar), oil content (2.5, 5, 7.5 and 10 ppm), total dissolved solids (TDS) (100, 200,300 and 400 ppm), and temperature (15, 20, 30 and 40 ᵒC) were manipulated with the h

Conservative Treatment of Closed Fracture Shaft Humerus in Adult Patients
...Show More Authors

Background: Fractures of the humeral shaft
accounting for approximately 3% of all
fractures. There is a wide array of good
options for their treatment and controversy
over the best methods. Although good
techniques of osteosynthesis are available, the
aim of this article is toemphasize on the benefit
and good outcome of conservative treatment
for properly selected cases to decrease the cost
and avoid the complications of surgery.

Treatment of Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma by Using Deep X-Ray Therapy
...Show More Authors

Background: Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is one of the most challenging tumors because of their relative inaccessibility and that their spread can occur without significant symptoms with few signs, but Radiotherapy (RT) has a role in treatment of it.
Objectives: To show that RT is still the modality of choice in the treatment of NPC, to study modes of presentations, commonest histopathological types and their percentages, to show differences in the sensitivities of these types to RT and to find out a 5 year survival rate(5YSR) and its relation with lymph node involvement.
Methods: This is a retrospective study of 44 patients with NPC who were treated with routine RT from 1988-2007 at the institute of radiology and nuclear medicin
