Introduction: The use of screw-retained hybrid arch bars (HABs) is a relatively recent development in the treatment of mandibular fractures. The purpose of this study is to compare the clinical outcome between HAB and the conventional Erich arch bar (EAB) in the closed treatment of mandibular fractures. Materials and methods: This study included 18 patients who were treated for mandibular fractures with maxillomandibular fixation (MMF), patients were randomly assigned into a control group (n = 10) in which EAB was used and study group (n = 8) in which HAB was used. The outcome variables were time required for application and removal, gingival inflammation scores, postoperative complications, and incidence of wire-stick injury or gloves perforation. The groups were compared using unpaired t-test, Mann-Whitney test, Chi-square test, or Fisher test. The differences were considered significant at P < 0.05. Results: The mean application time was significantly more in EAB than HAB (61.6 ± 11.4 vs. 41.6 ± 6 min, respectively). The mean time of removal for EAB was significantly less than HAB (11.1 ± 2 vs. 14.2 ± 3 min, respectively). There was nonsignificant difference in gingival inflammation between the groups. No major complications were recorded. Screw loosening and mucosal overgrowth were recorded in 12.5% and 31.2% of the screws, respectively, in HAB group. The incidence of gloves tear in EAB group was 70%. Discussion: HAB can be used as an alternative to EAB for MMF in patients with mandibular fracture, it requires less time for application and provides more safety for the surgeons.
Because bank deposits, whether cash deposits or securities deposits, entail obligations on the bank, it is natural that violating these obligations results in the realization of its civil responsibility, and responsibility in its general meaning is culpability and liability. The source of this obligation was the agreement or the law, and the work of the rules of civil liability is based on the availability of three pillars, which are the error, the damage and the causal relationship between them, and as long as the bank deposit is a contract, the responsibility of the bank in the event of a breach of one of the obligations arising from this contract is definitely a contractual responsibility, but it may be imagined The establishment of t

In this research entitled (The Legal Basis of the Right to the City: A Comparative Study) we dealt with a new concept of human rights and discussed the basis upon which it is based in international charters, constitutions and domestic laws.
Developments in self-driving car technology have already begun to disrupt car manufacturing and insurance considerations. Likewise, new questions have arisen, especially if we know that their damage may be technical, so the technological error may also need to be considered with driver error, so these phenomena began to spark ideas. New information about who bears the risk, how insurance takes place, and the extent to which personal data is compromised when viewed by insurance companies.
At present, a scientific certificate has great importance as an indicator of the level of the educational qualification of a person, and a criterion on the basis of which job appointments are made. The title is granted by the scientific certificate. The status of the scientific certificate has had a dual effect. On the one hand, it encouraged persons to pursue educational attainment in order to obtain the highest scientific degrees and the associated moral and material advantages, and on the other hand. It prompted some to seek scientific degrees by any means or method and at any price in order to benefit from these advantages. This situation led to the emergence of unlicensed and fake universities that do not have a real presence on rea

Background: perniosis is a common dermatological problem. Different modalities of treatment are available with conflicting results and no single effective therapy is universally accepted.
Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of oral tadalafil and compare it with pentoxyfylline or prednisolone in treatment of perniosis
Patients and methods: This was a therapeutic comparative trial conducted in the department of Dermatology, Baghdad Teaching hospital, Baghdad, Iraq between November 2011 and March 2014.
Fifty eight patients with perniosis were enrolled in this study, and divided into 3 groups. Group (A) comprised 19 patients who received oral tadalafil (5 mg once daily); group (B) comprised 18 patients who received pentoxifylli
Background: Recurrent aphthous ulceration (RAU) is an inflammatory condition of unknown etiology characterized by painful recurrent (single or multiple) ulcerations of the oral mucosa. It is one of the most common and poorly understood mucosal disorders. It occurs more frequently in times of stress. Local and systemic conditions, genetic, immunologic, microbial factors, and oxidative stress may play a role in the pathogenesis of RAU. The objective of this study was to evaluate the free radical metabolism and antioxidant activity of RAU patients treated by lavender or flax oil paint.
Materials and Methods: Sixty-six RAU patients were enroll

The legislators in (France, Egypt and Syria) set controls for filing an administrative lawsuit, including the signature of the lawsuit petition by a lawyer accepted before the court, and the lawyer is committed to performing his work in accordance with the conditions of the State Council and the practice of the legal profession. And if the goal of the legislator is to achieve the public and private interest represented in observing the law and assisting the plaintiff legally, then this condition sometimes leads to individuals refraining from resorting to the judiciary because of the financial cost of registration fees and lawyers, which prompted the legislator, especially the French, to exempt several lawsuits from this condition, includ

Surgical intervention for the retrieval of the foreign bodies was carried out in 20 patients through the existing wounds and through separate incisions; all patients were followed up for a minimum of 2 months during which all the complications were registered and managed. Preoperative imaging is a prerequisite for the accurate localization of the foreign body and the subsequent successful removal of it. All patients developed complications that were categorized in this study into those that result from the injury itself and those that occur because of the retrieval procedure, the latter category bei
