Effect Of External Application Of Traditional Herbal Medicine On Burn Wound Ulcers: A Meta-Analysis, Ahmed Khalid Aldhalmi, Mohamed Abdelrahman, Mohamed E.A. Abdelrahim

Al-Mustaqbal Journal of Pharmaceutical and Medical Sciences

The aim of the meta-analysis was to assess and contrast the effects of externally administered traditional herbal medicine on burn wound ulcers. This meta-analysis utilized dichotomous or contentious random or fixed-effect models to examine the outcomes. The odds ratio (OR) and mean difference (MD) were calculated, along with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). The present meta-analysis incorporated a total of 13 studies conducted between 1999 and 2020, which collectively had a sample size of 1282 individuals diagnosed with burn wound ulcers. Overall evaluation of traditional herbal medicine showed significantly shorter wound healing times (MD, -6.81; 95% CI, -8.81,-4.81, p<0.001) compared to standard treatment in personnel with burn wound ulcers. Traditional herbal medicine alone had a significantly shorter wound healing time (MD, -5.74; 95% CI, -8.00- -3.49, p<0.001) compared to standard treatment in personnel with burn wound ulcers. Traditional herbal medicine and Basic Fibroblast Growth Factor had significantly shorter wound healing times (MD, -9.93; 95% CI, -11.18- -8.68, p<0.001) compared to standard treatment in patients with burn wound ulcers. The examined data revealed that traditional herbal medicine with or without Basic Fibroblast Growth Factor had a significantly shorter wound healing time compared to standard treatment for burn wound ulcers. However, it is important to be mindful of its values, as a considerable portion of the chosen studies featured a small sample size.

Al-Mustaqbal Journal of Pharmaceutical and Medical Sciences

The meta-analysis aimed to assess and compare the effect of Chinese herbal medicine as an adjunctive technique to standard treatment for people with diabetic foot ulcers. This meta-analysis investigated the results through either dichotomous or contentious random or fixed effect models, calculating the odds ratio (OR) and mean difference (MD) along with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). The analysis included 17 studies conducted between 2006 and 2021, comprising a total of 1140 individuals with diabetic foot ulcers. Chinese herbal medicine had a significantly higher total effective rate (OR, 2.77; 95% CI, 1.89-4.07, p<0.001), lower wound size after treatment (MD, -2.44; 95% CI, -3.46- -1.43, p<0.001), lower number of patients without any improvement (OR, 0.26; 95% CI, 0.15-0.45, p<0.001), and lower time of diabetic wound ulcer healing (MD, -10.46; 95% CI, -14.91- -6.37, p<0.001) compared to standard treatment in personal with diabetic foot ulcers. However, no significant differences were found between Chinese herbal medicine and standard treatment in the number of patients with 30% or more reductions in the ulcer area of the diabetic foot ulcer (OR, 2.69; 95% CI, 0.70-10.30, p=0.15). The examined data revealed that Chinese herbal medicine had a significantly higher total effective rate, lower wound size after treatment, lower number of patients without any improvement, and lower time of diabetic wound ulcer healing, however, no significant differences were found in the number of patients with 30% or more reductions in the ulcer area compared to standard treatment in personal with diabetic foot ulcers. However, caution should be exercised when interpreting its findings, as many of the chosen studies had a small sample size, and certain comparisons were based on a limited number of selected studies.

A Meta-Analysis Evaluating The Effect Of N95 Respirators In Healthcare And Non-Healthcare Providers On Laboratory-Confirmed Respiratory Virus Infection, Haitham Saeed, Ahmed Khalid Aldhalmi, Mohamed Abdelrahman, Marwa O. Elgendy

Al-Mustaqbal Journal of Pharmaceutical and Medical Sciences

A meta-analysis was implemented to estimate the effect of facemasks in healthcare providers and non-healthcare providers on laboratory-confirmed respiratory viral infection. Methodology A systematic literature search conducted until March 2022 included 29 studies with a total of 18,489 participants at the start of the investigation. Among them, 9,569 people were utilizing facemasks, while 8,920 served as the control group. The Egger regression test was employed to evaluate the presence of publication bias, with a significance level of P<0.05. The odds ratio (OR) was evaluated at a 95% confidence interval (CI) using both the random effects and fixed effects models using the dichotomous method to evaluate the influence of facemasks in healthcare providers and non-healthcare providers on laboratory-confirmed respiratory viral infection. Facemasks had significantly lower laboratory-confirmed respiratory viral infection (LCRVI) between healthcare providers (OR, 0.31; 95% CI, 0.19-0.51, p<0.001), and between non-healthcare providers (OR, 0.58; 95% CI, 0.49-0.69, p<0.001) compared with control. N95 masks had significantly lower laboratory-confirmed respiratory viral infection between healthcare providers (OR, 0.67; 95% CI, 0.48-0.94, p=0.02), and no significant difference between non-healthcare providers (OR, 1.15; 95% CI, 0.94-1.41, p=0.017) compared with surgical masks. Facemasks shown a notable reduction in laboratory-confirmed respiratory viral infection among healthcare practitioners and non-healthcare providers, in comparison to the control group. Healthcare personnel who wore N95 masks had a notably reduced incidence of laboratory-confirmed respiratory virus infection. On the other hand, there was not a significant difference in the incidence of infection between non-healthcare professionals who wore surgical masks and those who did not wear any masks at all. Additional research is necessary to authenticate these discoveries.

Genomic Features Of Homologous Recombination Deficiency In Breast Cancer: Impact On Testing And Immunotherapy, Umer Ali, Sunitha Vungarala, Venkataswarup Tiriveedhi

Biology Faculty Research

Genomic instability is one of the well-established hallmarks of cancer. The homologous recombination repair (HRR) pathway plays a critical role in correcting the double-stranded breaks (DSB) due to DNA damage in human cells. Traditionally, the BRCA1/2 genes in the HRR pathway have been tested for their association with breast cancer. However, defects in the HRR pathway (HRD, also termed ‘BRCAness’), which has up to 50 genes, have been shown to be involved in tumorigenesis and treatment susceptibility to poly-ADP ribose polymerase inhibitors (PARPis), platinum-based chemotherapy, and immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). A reliable consensus on HRD scores is yet to be …
