Remaining Dentine Thickness Following Tooth Preparation And Its Impact On Dentine – Pulp Complex, Rudina Berani, Merita Barani Sveqla

UBT International Conference

There are many factors accused of causing pulpal damage, but studies indicate that endodontic complications after placement of fixed prosthetic crowns and bridges are entirely iatrogenic and as a consequence of a deep tooth preparation. In 2mm of the remaining dentine thickness after preparation, there are significant reductions in cellular cell adhesion molecules in the pulp of the prepared tooth data compared to those intact. Researchers confirm that even this decline may be an expression of early stages of pulp inflammation. According to Murray & co, the number of odontoblasts in a dentine thickness of 2.5-0.5mm, was reduced by 13.6%; …

We present a case of nephron sparing surgery (NSS), in a patient,68 years olld, born in the Prizren, who had a tumor bigger than 7 (8.5 cm), meaning T2a staging tumor.Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is a common malignancy with an increasing incidence1. NSS was proven feasible decades ago for patients with imperative indications to preserve maximum kidney function, for instance solitary kidney, bilateral renal tumors, or moderate/severe chronic kidney disease (CKD)2. The goal of partial nephrectomy is complete excision of potentially malignant tissue without malignant cells at the border of the surgical specimen, with maximum preservation of nearby normal renal …

Herniated Lumbar Disc & Nursing Care, Besnik Elshani, Salih Krasniqi, Rexhep Gjyliqi

UBT International Conference

Spinal disc herniation, also known as a slipped disc, is a medical condition affecting the spine in which a tear in the outer, fibrous ring of an intervertebral disc allows the soft, central portion to bulge out beyond the damaged outer rings. Disc herniation is usually due to age-related degeneration of the outer ring, known as the anulus fibrosus, although trauma, lifting injuries, or straining have been implicated as well. Tears are almost always postero-lateral (on the back of the sides) owing to the presence of the posterior longitudinal ligament in the spinal canal. Disc herniations are normally a further …

Systemic erythematosus lupus is a chronic inflammatory disease of autoimmune nature. This illness can affect all organs, but one of the most common illnesses is lupus nephritis. Patients with renal impairment, despite aggressive immunosuppressive medication carry the risk of developing terminal renal disease and doing dialysis or renal transplant.The purpose of this study is to reflect global statistics on the frequency of the development of terminal renal disease in lupus nephritis patients as an awareness-raising way to stimulate studies that present a successful treatment or screening protocol in preventing this complication.This study is a review based on the research of …


Differential Diagnosis Of St Segment Elevation On Ecg, Serjan Abdushi, Ardiana Veseli, Shpend Abdushi, Fitore Zenelaj Oct 2017

Differential Diagnosis Of St Segment Elevation On Ecg, Serjan Abdushi, Ardiana Veseli, Shpend Abdushi, Fitore Zenelaj

UBT International Conference

ST segment elevation on ECG is crucial for emergent reperfusion therapy of acute myocardial infarction with ST-segment elevation. Because acute myocardial infarction (STEMI) is not the most common cause of ST-segment elevation amongst chest pain patients, we need to consider other factors like reciprocal changes to shore up the diagnosis. In this review we would like to present statements which are manifested with ST segment elevation on ECG and to show clues which can help to make differentiations between them. The clinical setting and specific electrocardiographic criteria often allow identification of the cause. In writing this paper, we hope for …

Bleeding Ulcers: Effect Of Low Dose Aspirin - Our Experience, Zaim Gashi, Elton Bahtiri, Fadil Sherifi

UBT International Conference

Aspirin is among the most commonly used pharmaceutical products used for the management of fever, to relieve mild to moderate pain, to reduce swelling in inflammatory conditions such as arthritis, while a low dose aspirin is used to prevent blood clots. The latter effect reduces the risk of stroke and heart attack. However, its use is associated with gastrointestinal and other complications. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of aspirin in bleeding ulcers. 122 patients were included in this prospective comparative study that were divided in two groups: the first group consisting of 60 patients that …

Vasculitis is an inflammation of the blood vessels. It can affect any blood vessel in the body by manifesting a variety of systemic, non-specific symptoms that make difficult the diagnosis of this pathology and especially its specific form. In front of any patient suspected of being affected by vasculitis, some questions are asked: Is the vasculitis or other pathology that camouflages, whether it is primary or secondary vasculitis, in which vessels this pathology extends, how can the diagnosis be confirmed and how can it be determined the type of vasculitis?The purpose of this study is to inform about the protocols …

Tablet division is a widespread phenomenon nowadays in Albania, because of different factors such as the absence of small dosages in the pharmaceutical market, financial reasons etc. The purpose of this study is to identify the positive and negative aspects of tablets division by patients. It aims to show experimentally if the division affects or not, in a significant way the percentage of the active substance. It was selected Amlodipine as a drug for analysis, because of two reasons. First it is used in chronic therapy and second it is part of the List of Reimbursement of Medicines in the …
