Tissue doppler echocardiographic evaluation of cardiac functions in children with mucopolysaccharidosis type III disease
Conclusion: We conclude that cardiac monitoring of MPS III patients is very important in terms of early detection and treatment of cardiac problems that may arise. Cardiac evaluation of larger series of MPS III patients are needed to make a better decision. (Source: Nigerian Journal of Clinical Practice)

Are the perfusion & #304;ndex and pleth variability index title an early & #304;ndicator of brachial plexus block ?
Conclusion: In our study, we observed an increase in PI from the 1st minute compared to the non-blocked arm in successful block applications. We consider the early indicator of PI in the evaluation of block success. In our study, we did not observe a significant change in the arm that was blocked and the arm that was not treated with PVI.

The measurement of different diaper parameters for the evaluation of postcircumcision bleeding and their significance for the & #304;nfant & #39;s health
Conclusion: Visual evaluation of the color change of the diapers may not give accurate results for bleeding follow-up. If necessary to use diapers after circumcision, it is more appropriate to prefer those with low absorbency capacity. Using fabric or cotton products in cases with bleeding risk may be recommended. If bleeding is suspected, hemogram control is the most appropriate option. Diaper manufacturers should warn consumers of the risk. In conclusion, we should be on the safe side for mortality and morbidity. (Source: Nigerian Journal of Clinical Practice)

Assessment of skeletal relationships in cleft palate with or without cleft lip: A cone-beam computed tomography study in a pakistani population
Conclusions: Skeletal class III relationships were found to be predominant in both sexes, followed by class II, and class I skeletal relationships. Henceforth, such CP ± L patients should be pre-emptively screened in early life to avoid such skeletal complications. (Source: Nigerian Journal of Clinical Practice)

Clinical and radiological outcome of the locked plate osteosynthesis in distal metadiaphyseal tibial fracture according to the severity of comminution: Varus reduction would not be preferable with lower clinical outcomes
Conclusion: Plate osteosynthesis for SWF or CF of the distal tibial metadiaphysis led to high union rates and good clinical outcomes. There was no significant difference in the radiologic and clinical results according to the presence of fracture comminution. Nonetheless, the valgus union group showed better clinical outcomes than the varus union group. Clinically, it would be preferred to avoid intraoperative varus reduction.

Change in surface characteristics and permeability of human enamel after subjecting to radiation therapy
Conclusions: Though radiation exposure did not alter the enamel permeability and surface topography, it had caused significant chemical compositional changes. Carbon content was significantly reduced in irradiated enamel samples. (Source: Nigerian Journal of Clinical Practice)

Anti-microbial efficacy of root canal preparation in deciduous teeth with manual and rotary files: A randomized clinical trial
Conclusion: Manual and rotary files were equally effective in removing root canal microbes. Biomechanical preparation with a KedoS Square rotary file resulted in greater microbial efficacy. Hence In children, effective root canal cleaning in a short period of time is a major consideration. (Source: Nigerian Journal of Clinical Practice)

Is it possible to predict the outcome of endovascular thrombectomy for hyperdense middle cerebral artery sign at the time of first admission ?
Conclusion: We showed that the presence of HMCAS in initial CT was not helpful in predicting good clinical outcomes in patients undergoing endovascular therapy patients. However, the presence of HMCAS is related to more new territory embolism during the procedure. Different endovascular strategies may be applied to these patients.

ABO-Rh Blood Types and Clinical Consequences of COVID-19 Infection
Conclusion: Our results are in agreement with other studies suggesting that blood group O individuals are somewhat more resistant to clinically overt infection with SARS-CoV-2 than other blood groups. In addition, Rh negativity may also be an individual risk factor for SARS-CoV-2 infection. (Source: Nigerian Journal of Clinical Practice)

Thoracoscopic repair of congenital diaphragmatic hernia in neonates: Tips and tricks learned from an institutional experience
Conclusion: We recommend trimming the margin of the defect, use of prosthetic mesh overlay reinforcement for repairs under tension, and to prefer extra-corporeal knotting along with higher placement of trocar, temporary increase in CO2, maximal use of muscle relaxant, extra-corporeal corner hitch stitch to reduce the operating time, and recurrence after thoracoscopic CDH repair.
