Amyand’s hernia with healthy looking vermiform appendix, treatment of three cases with review of literatures
...Show More Authors

The term Amyand’s hernia refers to an incarcerated inguinal hernia containing the vermiform appendix, which may be completely healthy, inflamed or perforated. (1) In almost 1% of all inguinal hernias Amyand’s hernia is detected and acute appendicitis in Amyand’s hernia cases accounts only for 0.1% “ 0.07-0.13”. (5)Amyand’s hernia is named after Claudius Amyand, who on December, 6,1735 performed the 1st successful appendectomy during the treatment of 11 years old boy presented with right inguinal hernia . During the surgery Amyand found a pin within the appendix which was encrusted with stone the appendix was found within the inguinal hernia sac. (2) It should not be confused with the incidental findings of cecal appendix within the femoral hernia sac “ de Garengeot’s hernia” which is first described by Rene de Garengeot in 1731(3.4)

The reported mortality rate of Amyand’s hernia ranges from 5.5%- 30%.

This variation occurs due to the effect of early diagnosis, giving proper treatment, preventing intra abdominal sepsis, and good postoperative care. (6) It is generally accepted that surgical treatment of Amyand’s hernia includes both appendectomy and hernia repair. (5,6.7)

However, appendectomy in the absence of an inflamed appendix and the use of mesh in cases of appendectomy remain to be controversial.

Some authors offer not to perform prophylactic appendectomy when non inflamed appendix is incidentally found in the hernial sac. (6)

Others believe that appendectomy should be performed in all cases to prevent future reherniation and appendicitis. (8.9) It has been thought that it is impossible to reach sufficient number of Amyand’s hernias cases to get evidence- based data due to its rarity. Therefore it is logical to revise the classification and surgical treatment of Amyand’s hernia based on the case reports from different institutions. The aim of this study is to review the experience of mesh inguinal hernia repair without performing  appendectomy in patients with Amyand’s hernia with healthy looking vermiform appendix with close postoperative follow up to detect recurrence or other postoperative complications.

Treatment of Oral Conditions by 810 nm Diode Laser
...Show More Authors

When laser light incident on biological tissue, it is either reflected from the
surface of the tissue (e.g. the skin) or scattered inside the tissue or absorbed .The laser light will be
absorbed by water, hemoglobin and melanin. Absorption is also highly dependent on wave-length of
laser radiation. The absorbed light is converted into kinetic energy leading to laser effect that when
appropriately applied can produce reaction ranging from incision, vaporization to coagulation. Aim of
the study: To evaluate the efficiency of diode Laser 810 ± 20nm in treatment of oral lesions. Methods:
6 patients (2 females and 4 males) with different oral lesions were treated in the hospital of specialized
surgeries by the use of dio

Three-Dimensional Nonlinear Integral Operator with the Modelling of Majorant Function
...Show More Authors

In this paper, the process for finding an approximate solution of nonlinear three-dimensional (3D) Volterra type integral operator equation (N3D-VIOE) in R3 is introduced. The modelling of the majorant function (MF) with the modified Newton method (MNM) is employed to convert N3D-VIOE to the linear 3D Volterra type integral operator equation (L3D-VIOE). The method of trapezoidal rule (TR) and collocation points are utilized to determine the approximate solution of L3D-VIOE by dealing with the linear form of the algebraic system. The existence of the approximate solution and its uniqueness are proved, and illustrative examples are provided to show the accuracy and efficiency of the model.

...Show More Authors

The spread of novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has resulted in chaos around the globe. The infected cases are still increasing, with many countries still showing a trend of growing daily cases. To forecast the trend of active cases, a mathematical model, namely the SIR model was used, to visualize the spread of COVID-19. For this article, the forecast of the spread of the virus in Malaysia has been made, assuming that all Malaysian will eventually be susceptible. With no vaccine and antiviral drug currently developed, the visualization of how the peak of infection (namely flattening the curve) can be reduced to minimize the effect of COVID-19 disease. For Malaysians, let’s ensure to follow the rules and obey the SOP to lower the
