Treatment Of Postburn Axillary Contracture, Ahmed Walash, Fouad Mohamed Ghareeb, Tarek Kishk
Menoufia Medical Journal
Objectives The aim of the study was to evaluate different options for postburn axillary contracture treatment. Background Axillary postburn contractures remain a frequent problem after thermal burns involving the trunk and upper arm. Difficulties in rehabilitation of shoulder abduction during the initial period and the contractile evolution of the scar contribute to this problem. Patients and methods A prospective study of 25 patients with postburn axillary contracture was conducted. The contractures were classified according to the Kurtzaman classification and reconstructed using different methods including skin grafting, local flaps (Z-plasty and five flaps), and regional flaps (parascapular, scapular, and thoracodorsal artery …

Challenge Of Morbid Obesity In Obstetric Anesthesia, Ahmed Abdel-Raouf Metwally, Ashraf Magdy Eskandr, Ashraf Mohamed Mostafa, Noha Abd Allah Afify
Menoufia Medical Journal
Objectives To discuss the pathophysiology of morbid obesity in pregnant ladies and the anesthetic management of morbidly obese parturients. Background The association between obesity and pregnancy can result in further limitation of parturient physiological reserve. Indeed, maternal obesity is associated with an increased risk of delivery and postpartum complications. Conclusion Complete understanding of the physiology, pathophysiology, comorbidies and their implications for anesthesia and analgesia in morbidly obese parturients should lead to improvement of safety and anesthetic care. 2- Reviews and Meta-Analyses. Objective To determine the anesthetic and obstetric complications in morbidly obese parturient that had caesarean delivery. Data analysis was …

Menoufia Medical Journal
Objectives This study was carried out to assess the effect of the proposed range-of-motion program on the reduction of low back pain among sciatic patients. Background Exercises are superior to minimal intervention for the reduction of pain in individuals with nonspecific low back pain. Materials and methods A sample of 30 patients suffering from lower back pain due to sciatica were included in the study. The study was carried out at the Physical Therapy Outpatient Clinic at Menoufia University Hospital, Egypt. Three tools were utilized for data collection. Tool 1: a structured interviewing questionnaire to assess patients«SQ» knowledge and medical …
Posterolateral Fusion Versus Posterior Interbody Fusion In Adult Lumbar Isthmic Spondylolisthesis, Hosam A.M. Habib
Posterolateral Fusion Versus Posterior Interbody Fusion In Adult Lumbar Isthmic Spondylolisthesis, Hosam A.M. Habib
Menoufia Medical Journal
Objective The aim of this study is to assess and compare the outcomes of posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) and posterolateral fusion (PLF) in adult isthmic spondylolisthesis. Background Both PLIF and PLF have been used widely in the treatment of lumbar degenerative spinal diseases. Although PLIF has theoretical and demonstrable advantages over PLF, many authors did not observe this and report that outcomes of both surgical methods are comparable. Materials and methods Fifty patients with lumbar spondylolisthesis were operated for isthmic spondylolisthesis complaining of low back pain with or without sciatica and neurogenic claudication. The patients were allocated randomly to …
